December 21st.
Christmas is just a few days away, and Hogwarts has also ushered in the Christmas vacation (winter vacation), which lasts for two weeks.
This Christmas, the whole dormitory decided to go home, and they had applied a few days ago.
After packing up the gifts, Ethan and his roommates went to the auditorium.
At this time, the auditorium has been decorated, with colorful ribbons hanging on the walls, and twelve towering Christmas trees standing on both sides, with colorful lights flashing on them. These are all prepared for the students who stayed in school.
They will spend this Christmas vacation with the professors at school.
“Ethan, bring your roommates over here.”
Penelope was calling Ethan at the long table of Ravenclaw. There were a few first-year wizards reading something beside her.
“One per person, and you can only leave school after signing this.”
When Ethan and his group arrived, Penelope handed each person a piece of parchment with the seal of the Ministry of Magic on it.
“《”Notice prohibiting minors from using magic outside school”, why did he have to sign this?”
Terry, holding the parchment, shouted in surprise.
He was planning to show off his skills to his Muggle parents after returning home, but signing this was too much!
“Everyone has to sign, unless they don’t plan to leave school before adulthood, in which case they don’t have to sign.”
“I would like to remind you that this is a contract magic with a detection effect. If you cast spells outside of school, you will be caught. Every year, two or three young wizards are caught, of course, if you cast spells in a wizard gathering place.”
Penelope kindly reminded you.
She also signed this in the first grade, and thought that no one could cast spells. As a result, those who were born in wizard families said that they had no restrictions and could cast spells at will.
At that time, Penelope knew the huge gap between the two sides. It can be said that this is a means to restrict Muggle wizards.
Ethan looked down at the notice:
First, wizards under the age of seventeen are minors and are prohibited from casting spells outside of school.
Second, it is illegal for underage wizards to cast spells outside of school. The Ministry of Magic will investigate their responsibilities and those who are serious will be expelled.
……
There are nine prohibitions in total, all of which say that spellcasting is prohibited and that the International Confederation of Wizards Statute of Secrecy must be observed.
In the end, Ethan signed his name.
This thing is the legendary Trace Thread. Contract magic still has a strong binding force in this world. The unbreakable oath is so powerful that violating it can even cost one’s life.
But it doesn’t work on Ethan. As long as no one sees it with their own eyes, the use of any magic will not be detected. It can be said that cheaters can do whatever they want.
After breakfast, the students who left school were gathered together. This time they didn’t have to walk the Founder’s Road again, and took a carriage directly to the station.
“Harry, are you going home for Christmas too?”
On the way, Ethan spotted an unexpected figure. He remembered that Harry seemed to have spent Christmas with Ron, and he had never returned home during this holiday.
“Well, I have to thank you for that. What you said to me last time made me think clearly. I sent some gifts and a letter to my aunt last week. I received a reply a few days ago. She asked me to go back for Christmas and prepared a Christmas present for me.”
Harry’s face was filled with smiles. He had not received a Christmas present in so many years, let alone his aunt’s family giving him a Christmas present. In the past, he would not even dare to think about it.
“Don’t forget to ask about Snape.”
Ethan reminded.
He was looking forward to Harry knowing that his mother and Snape were childhood sweethearts, but his father succeeded in snatching Snape’s childhood sweetheart. What would Harry be like then, and how would he face Snape?
“Well, I will ask!”
Harry nodded seriously, this was one of the reasons why he went home.
Snape had gone crazy recently, and Harry’s life had become even more difficult, which made him eager to find the specific reason.
“By the way, Ethan, do you know Nicolas Flamel?”
Suddenly Harry seemed to have thought of something and asked Ethan.
Recently, he and Ron had been running to the library frequently, just to find out who Nicolas Flamel was. This was related to what the package Hagrid had taken out from Gringotts was.
It can only be said that the curiosity of the Gryffindors was really strong.
“Didn’t you buy a lot of chocolate frogs from George last time?”
“The card inside has his information. If I tell you directly, all your efforts during this period will be in vain.
If he and Ron had carefully read the card of Dumbledore’s Chocolate Frog, they would not have spent so much time looking for it.
“”Okay, I’ll look for it when I come back from vacation. I remember Ron has a hobby of collecting chocolate frog cards.”
Finally, they found the direction, which made Harry a little annoyed.
He shouldn’t have listened to Ron’s nonsense, saying that this matter must not be known to others, so that they could only look for clues by themselves.
If it weren’t for Ethan, God knows when they would know who Nicolas Flamel is.
While the two were talking, they also arrived at the boarding location.
This is an open space with hundreds of carriages neatly arranged on it. The old students got on the carriage very naturally, and the freshmen got on the carriage in an orderly manner under the arrangement of the class leader.
Ethan, Hermione, Cassandra, and Qiu Zhang got on a carriage together. There was still a smell of straw and mold in the carriage.
After everyone got on the carriage, the carriage started running directly. The shaft in front was still empty, and the carriage flew up while running. The speed was quite fast, but it was a bit bumpy.
“Is this a self-driving magic flying carriage?”
Hermione looked at all this in amazement. If it were in the Muggle world, it would be a supernatural event, but this is the wizarding world, so everything makes a lot more sense.
Anyway, there are many things that move in Hogwarts, and even the people in the portraits can run out by themselves.
“The one pulling our cart is a Thestral, a XXXX type of magical animal. If you have read the book”Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them”, you will know what it is. Only people who have experienced death can see it.”
Ethan explained to the three women, and judging from their reactions, none of them could see it.
Ethan was able to see the Thestral because he had killed the wizard with a melon.
This thing doesn’t look very good. It is skinny and even skin and bones, with all its ribs exposed. It is pitch black, with a dragon-like head and huge bat wings on its back.
I just don’t know which of them my wand core came from.
“No one of us mentioned this problem last year. Like Hermione, we thought the carriage moved on its own.
Qiu Zhang also suddenly realized that when he first got on the carriage, he was curious, but he didn’t investigate further.
“When we went on vacation to a farm, we saw the farmer slaughtering sheep, but I still couldn’t see it.”
If you don’t understand, ask, or look for the answer, this is Hermione’s habit
“This experience of life and death is not for animals, but for humans. You have to kill someone with your own hands, or someone among your relatives or friends died in front of you, and you have to be sad and impressed by it.”
Ethan explained helplessly that Harry saw the Thestrals because he witnessed Cedric’s death. (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Then Ethan described the appearance of the Thestrals to the three of them.
Not long after he finished speaking, the Thestrals took them to the station. The speed was really fast.
After getting on the Hogwarts Express, the four found a compartment to sit down, and Ethan used magic to put the gifts of the few people on the shelf.
“Ethan, do you want to spend Christmas at my house? You have signed the”Notice of Prohibition of Minors from Using Magic Outside of School”, so you cannot cast spells outside of school, but you can do so at my house, which is very big.”
She wanted to strike first. Ethan was so outstanding, his parents would not refuse him! []
Cassandra thought secretly
“My dad said he would take me to the Santa Claus Village in Finland for Christmas this year. Ethan, do you want to go with me?”
Glancing at Cassandra, Hermione also made an invitation.
Although her house was not as big as Cassandra’s and she could not cast spells, who could refuse to spend their Christmas in the Santa Claus Village?
Qiu Zhang just smiled and said nothing.
“Is it possible for me to spend Christmas at home?”
Ethan looked at the two helplessly. Fortunately, Penelope went to the prefect’s box, and they were responsible for patrolling and maintaining order, etc. Otherwise, according to her personality, she would most likely interfere.
“Qiu, where are you going to celebrate Christmas?”
Seeing that Ethan didn’t go to anyone’s house, Hermione had nothing to argue about, and turned to look at Qiu Zhang who was sitting next to him.
As far as she knew, many places in Asia didn’t celebrate Christmas, they didn’t believe in Jesus, and Qiu Zhang was Asian.
“I’m at home too!”
“Does your family celebrate Christmas?”
“”I’ve been here before, but I don’t take it too seriously. We’re all Chinese in my family!”
Qiu Zhang, this is how she is called in Great Britain. Her parents call her Zhang Qiu at home. Both of them are Chinese, and they have only come here in recent years. For Christmas, they just give gifts according to local customs and eat better. There is nothing special about it.
Both of her parents came to Great Britain as liaisons, which is similar to the embassy in the Muggle world.
She stayed in Hogwarts to study in order to be closer to her parents.
“Have you ever been back to China?”
“I went to my grandfather’s house last summer vacation.”
Time passed in the idle chat of several people until the sky darkened and the train finally returned to the nine and three-quarters platform.
“Ethan, I will definitely make the magic you want for you this time when I go home!”
Cassandra promised Ethan as she walked off the train with her suitcase.
After the competition, she sent a letter home to her father, asking him to send her the training methods of the three magics: Fire Escape Protection, Gubler Fairy Fire, and Fire God Opening the Way. However, he refused on the grounds that these magics were too difficult and too dangerous, and that they were not magic that she should learn at her age.
At that time, Cassandra was sure that her family must have these magics. She didn’t know if they were all, but there was at least one kind. If her family didn’t give them to her, couldn’t she find them herself?
This Christmas, she had to find them even if she had to turn the house upside down.
“OK, but I won’t force it. If I can find it, that’s the best. If I can’t, forget it.”
“Don’t worry, I can definitely……”
“Cassandra, this way!”
Belinda Worley has been standing here for a long time, but her daughter has been talking to the little boy next to her and seems not to have noticed this. Fortunately, she came to pick her up today. If her husband saw this, what would happen? (A woman takes her husband’s surname after marriage)
“This is Ethan Adrian, I told you in the letter.”
Cassandra’s face flushed as she pulled Ethan to her mother and introduced him, then she pointed to the two people behind her.
“These two are Hermione Granger and Cho Chang!”
Mrs. Volley winked at Cassandra.
“Mr. Adrian, hello, Cassandra mentioned you many times in the letter, saying that you take good care of her. When will you have time to visit my house?”
It’s a lie to say that she mentioned you many times, it’s only three times.
But Mrs. Volley, who knows her daughter well, how could she not know what Cassandra repeatedly mentioned little boys of the same age meant? In the past, she was dismissive of other people.
Being favored by her daughter means that he is better than her daughter, otherwise he would not be in Cassandra’s eyes. In addition, after seeing him today, she can definitely accept this son-in-law!
As for the other two, it’s no surprise that they are her daughter’s competitors.
After all, outstanding boys are always popular with girls.
“Next time, definitely next time!”
Ethan was a little embarrassed. Cassandra’s mother seemed to be too enthusiastic.
But the mother and daughter look alike!
Blonde hair, blue eyes, long legs and a thin waist. I wonder how many years it will take for Cassandra to grow to this size.
“It’s a deal, next time for sure!”
After saying hello to Hermione and Qiu Zhang behind him, he Apparated away with Cassandra.
Then came Qiu Zhang’s father, a middle-aged Asian man.
After saying hello, he also Apparated away with Qiu Zhang.
Outside the station, Hermione introduced Ethan to her parents again. Only after Hermione got on the bus did Ethan go to where the driver was waiting for him.
Meeting three groups of parents in one day was really tiring.
