Chapter 72 Christmas Dinner
Felix didn't expect that there would be unexpected gains.
Combined with Malfoy's words, he realized that the diary was not what Malfoy brought to the school - he was just a bad guy and picked up the diary after the second attack.
Now, he can finally confirm.
Felix nodded and turned away. He suddenly heard Luna's ethereal voice coming from behind—
“Christmas gift.”
He turned around and looked at her, "What?"
Luna said seriously, "I suddenly realized that I have not prepared Christmas gifts for you yet, and I met you too hastily." She calmly looked through her pockets, and took out a string of weird bracelets in Felix's slightly weird gaze.
She said with a pity, "I did it myself, and I was going to make a pair." She reached out and handed it to Felix.
Felix didn't know why he reached out to take it, but he did.
Luna jumped away.
When Felix returned to the office, he was still holding the bracelet in his hand. He leaned against the chair and thought seriously about how he should give the gift.
I always feel that ordinary gifts are not very suitable for her temperament...
Finally, he found a book called "Selected World Jokes" from his collection. He inexplicably felt that it was very suitable for the little witch named Luna. Looking at the owl's figure moving away, he focused on the new information again.
Gryffindor, flame-like hair, a freshman in the first grade, combined with these characteristics, he almost determined that he was a child of the Weasley family, and their family's red hair is quite famous.
He also heard his assistant take a mouthful, and Ron, the youngest member of the Weasley family, was admitted to school this year.
So, after going around in circles, why did it get involved with the trio again?
He recalled that he had encountered a few red-haired little witches earlier, and the location was quite sensitive - either near Hagrid's cottage or an abandoned girl's bathroom.
Felix thought something, and this was another investigation direction. He wanted to know who brought the diary, whether he had similar, excess inventory—the young version of the Dark Lord was cautious, and he didn't talk about his relationship with Slytherin, which put some of his ideas in trouble.
As the sky gradually darkened, Felix came to the auditorium. Along the distance, he saw the colorful and beautiful venue. In addition to the ones he saw in the morning, there were more than a dozen lanterns floating around the ceiling, and colorful fireworks kept sprinkling from the cracks that looked like his mouth.
He saw the threesome, in which Ron waved at him excitedly - Felix guessed that it might be the reason for the gift he gave, but he didn't have time to think too much, Dumbledore was greeting him and he walked over.
The principal dressed formally tonight and was also very interesting. His long beard was tied up with purple and red ribbons, like the shape of a gourd, "Happy holidays, Felix."
"So too, Principal Dumbledore."
Dumbledore blinked and whispered: "I received your gift, it's very unique. I haven't had time to read that book yet, but I know it's worth reading from the name."
“I’m glad you liked it.”
With a "crackling" effort to pull out fireworks throughout the auditorium, the banquet officially began.
As the principal, Dumbledore led the crowd to sing a few cheerful Christmas carols, and then announced with a smile, "Eat as much as you like and fill your stomach."
Various delicacies appeared suddenly, including roasted turkey, small sausage, meat braised, pork chops, waist pie, peas tripped butter, toast, etc., which were extremely rich.
The little wizards squeezed together, and forks passed through the dining table, bringing out afterimages.
Felix also put aside all his worries and feasted.
Haeger recommended him a Hogwarts-specific egg custard. Felix tasted it. It was sour and sweet, and the alcohol taste was not very strong. He drank a few more glasses.
Lockhart, who was standing beside him, shook his head, and his wavy curly hair trembled.
Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore whispered, giggling from time to time.
After eating for seventy minutes, everyone finally had time to chat. A "buzzing" sound echoed in the auditorium. Felix used a fork to insert a piece of raisin pudding and stuffed it into his mouth. Yu Guang saw his assistant leading two little wizards out of the auditorium.
Interesting, are they going to do something?
On the other end, Hermione held two chocolate cakes and announced her plan, "I put a normal coma potion here. Just make sure that Crabbe and Gole find them--they will definitely eat them. When they fall asleep, you will pull out a few of their hair and hide them in the broom cabinet."
Ron and Harry looked at each other, feeling that there were various loopholes in the plan. Ron asked her, "What about you, Hermione?"
"Mine already! Remember the duel club? Millison and I wrestled, and I fought desperately... Anyway, I got her hair."
Hermione left to see the situation of the compound decoction, leaving Harry and Ron to complete the task.
"To be honest, I don't think it's possible." Ron said with a frown.
Harry didn't have any hope.
But they could only shrink into the shadows and stare at the door of the auditorium.
After a while, Harry, who was somewhat bored, asked Ron in a low voice, "When are you going to ask Professor McGonagall for leave?"
"The faster the better," Ron said without hesitation, "I can't wait to have a new wand. Professor Happ is so considerate!"
Felix gave him seven golden gallons and a note briefly, which said, "I noticed that your wand is damaged, I suggest you buy one new one, otherwise you will not be able to participate in the duel class for the next semester. Also: It is a reward for your courage."
What Harry got was a "Dull Book", which was one of the reference books for Felix to write the duel lesson textbook.
Therefore, the two also learned that Professor Heip took over Lockhart's duel club. They discussed it privately and were very much looking forward to his course.
"I just hope the new duel class doesn't have the shadow of Snape," Harry said hopefully.
The dinner had lasted for more than an hour, and the little wizards left one after another. Felix was still talking to Professor Flitvie about the magic manuscript he sent. "That ancient magic is very interesting, some of which are like a combination of a reduction spell and an amplification spell."
Professor Flitvie said, "It is said that these two spells evolved from it. I did see some similarities, but it may also be coincidental."
The two finalized the time and prepared to wait for Felix to study for a period of time before conducting a detailed academic discussion.
