I was expelled from Hogwarts?

After leaving Knockturn Alley, Rove and Shirley wandered around Diagon Alley all day.

During Christmas, Diagon Alley is even more lively. There are wizards everywhere, and it can't be squeezed.

There are also many special events at the major stores:

Ollivander's Wand Shop has a banner saying... old wands for kitchen knives;

Buy three robes at Madam Mojin’s robe store and get 25% off;

Lihen Bookstore buys books and gives away a doll in the shape of Merlin, which looks like Santa Claus;

There are also broomstick stores that launch various promotional activities, especially the Nimbus 2001, which has only been on the market for half a year, ushered in a sharp price cut, which is even more severe than the Nimbus 2000.

But the waiting party can wait, after all, with the current trend, the price will only be more affordable, and the starting party said that they just fainted in the toilet...

Even Gringotts has launched special edition Christmas coins, which can be exchanged for Galleons one to one, but they cannot be used as Galleons... According to the fairies, they have extremely high collection value.

At night, Diagon Alley is even more lively. There are fireworks everywhere, and the flames of magical creatures such as dragons and unicorns bloom above everyone's heads.

Tonks came again and sent a bounty for capturing that old witch, but it was clearly a reward of one thousand, but only seven hundred Galleons were given, and the Ministry of Magic deducted three hundred from taxes... This is enough Shameless.

But 700 Galleons was enough to squander today. Rove and Shirley went shopping in Diagon Alley until late at night.

It was too late, so they naturally didn't go back to Hogwarts, and stayed at the Leaky Cauldron for one night.

The Leaky Cauldron Bar also launched a three-day, two-night double room discount package for Christmas, which also comes with breakfast... Of course, this has nothing to do with Rove and Shirley, they still have two rooms.

The next morning, Rove took Shirley back to Hogwarts.

When they came, they took the Knight Bus. When they went back, Shirley firmly resisted this means of transportation.

She'd rather go back to Hogwarts on a broomstick than experience that bad trip again.

Of course, you can't fly. There are many ways to return to Hogwarts, but the easiest and most convenient way is to go to Hogsmeade first with the help of the fireplace in the Leaky Cauldron.

So the two of them flooed out of the fireplace in the Hog's Head.

The Hog's Head was still closed, and Aberforth hadn't been working lately, but he was still in the kitchen, all alone in an apron, making mutton rolls.

On Christmas Day, Rove heard from Dumbledore that this is the signature dish of the Pig's Head Pub... It tastes so delicious, you must try it.

But only now did Rove realize that something was wrong. Aberforth is a person who has a special affection for goats. Even his patron saint is a goat.

Aberforth was also accused by the Ministry of Magic of using improper magic on goats. As for how improper, it is not clear.

Anyway, how could he possibly make a lamb roulade? !

It's like a dog lover, how could he eat dog meat hot pot?

Sure enough, after observing for a while, Rove discovered the problem. The so-called mutton rolls are duck meat marinated in mutton fat, and then seasoned with mutton essence...

As expected of you, Aberforth, the vinegar is cheap vinegar from the entrance of the Hufflepuff lounge, and the mutton is filled with duck meat... Is this your special way of taking revenge on society?

Duck lovers strongly condemn!

Aberforth is a bachelor, and he was calm when Rove and Shirley found out, and asked Rove to help bring the "additional" duck meat to his brother for breakfast.

Rove seriously doubts that the "additional" duck meat is like Wallace, and it will cause diarrhea after eating it. After all, normal people don't sprinkle mud in the sauce... Guanyin soil, right?

It can only be said that the two Dumbledore brothers are really... brothers and sisters.

After bidding farewell to Aberforth, they returned to Hogwarts. Shirley was still carrying a large bag of duck meat and asked:

"So, are these still going to be sent to Professor Dumbledore?"

"No more, the principal will definitely have diarrhea after eating this duck, and it will be our problem then." Rove said decisively:

"Rinse off all the sauces on it, and then make it into food for swallowtail dogs, and you can save a small amount of dog food."

"..."

Shirley glanced at the young man with small eyes, or Rove would live a life and plan more carefully than her!

Rove handed the box to Shirley, separated from her, and went alone to find...the disappearing cabinet.

That's right, the other disappearing cabinet corresponding to the one in Borgin-Bock shop is in Hogwarts.

If it wasn't like this, Rove wouldn't be idle to buy a disappearing cabinet. After all, a single cabinet would be too ugly to use as a bedside table.

Rove finally found the locker in Filch's office.

On the eve of Halloween a few months ago, Harry was arrested by Filch and placed in confinement. Nico asked Peeves to throw the disappearing cabinet from the second floor, which attracted Filch's attention and rescued Harry.

But unfortunately, the cabinet was also broken and had to be repaired if it wanted to be used again.

The restoration of this precious magic item is a difficult problem, and one must understand alchemy.

Although Rove followed Nico's suggestion and learned runes, it was just a language, and his foundation in alchemy was still zero.

Fortunately, this is not a big problem. Rove can contact Nico and let him teach.

...

...

black suitcase,

log cabin,

The boiling cauldron made a gurgling sound, and on the shelves on both sides of the wall, there were still various magic materials and potions that had been bottled.

Rove was sitting at a table, holding a two-way mirror, chatting with Nico.

This is a gift from Nicole at Christmas, which facilitates the daily communication between the two.

Rove now has two mirrors, and one is a gift from his sister Margery, which he only used a few times before throwing it in the cabinet.

Rove looked at Nico in the mirror, first mentioned the recent investigation with the old man, and then talked about the incident of going to Knockturn Alley yesterday.

Nico was very happy that the boy had been investigating the four prophecies in "The Book of Abraham". After listening to them, he smiled and said, "The progress has been very fast."

"But Bojin refused to share information about the wizard who bought the portrait." Rove said softly.

"It's all right." The old man picked up a pipe made of oak. After rubbing it for a long time, the pipe exuded a round luster of vermilion.

"I'll go to Borgin-Bock's with Albus and give Borgin an offer he can't refuse."

Rove nodded lightly. With him and Dumbledore on the sidelines, at least in the land of Britain, there has been no injustice!

"As for this disappearing cabinet, it is not troublesome to repair. I will guide you now, and you can repair it this Christmas." Nico said softly:

"But that's meaningless, I still suggest you to learn the basics of alchemy first, and make a few alchemy items according to the alchemy book I wrote.

In this process, gradually become familiar with the operation... You will soon be able to repair the disappearing cabinet by yourself without my guidance at all. "
