Today's winter seems to be extremely cold. There are still a few days before Christmas, and the snow outside Hogwarts has almost covered the castle.
"How many times have I told you! No magic is allowed in the corridor!" Filch ran over panting. He was wearing a somewhat funny lace cotton-padded jacket, and Mrs. Norris huddled in his chest.
He yelled angrily at Sean.
Sean spread his hands: "I'm really sorry, Mr. Filch, but if I don't use magic, I will catch a cold. Adding unnecessary trouble to Madam Pomfrey is not a good choice, is it?"
When he said this, the wand in Sean's hand never stopped.
He was removing the thick layer of snow from his coat.
Filch was going crazy: "You're a wizard! Can't you conjure up an umbrella or something for yourself when you're walking outside?"
"Oh, you're right, I will do this next time." Sean said with a smile. He finished removing the snow and then cast a spell on himself to warm himself.
Filch pointed at him tremblingly for a while, and finally ran away angrily. His angry shouts could still be heard a while later.
"Hey, you guys! First graders! Stop right here!"
Daisy was dusting the snowflakes on her velvet hat: "Filch is looking for trouble with someone else again - you deliberately made him angry, and he can't do anything to you."
Sean smiled and asked Daisy to open her hands, and while using the magic power of warmth to make her warm again, he said: "He was so angry when everyone went crazy at the coming-of-age ceremony before. Later, he finally found me for violating the school rules.
In the end, Professor McGonagall ignored it lightly - magic cannot be used in wands. This rule is too stupid. In a sense, Professor Dumbledore, who set up this rule back then, was really kind to Filch -
What do you think about me kidnapping Mrs. Norris next time?"
"He will go crazy, leave him alone, Sean." Although everyone dislikes Filch, and Filch is not just targeting Sean - he is targeting every student. But Daisy is still quite kind.
"Just for fun, I gave Mrs. Norris a potion last time. Otherwise, Mrs. Norris wouldn't be able to survive the day Filch died, and he would definitely be very lonely."
"Speaking of which, aren't you taking all precautions not to let Hagrid and West study those things together? Why do you still want to provide Hagrid with research materials? Magical creatures like invisible monsters are quite uncomfortable.
Are you sure you want to give one to Hagrid?" Daisy said worriedly.
Just now, the two of them went to Hagrid's hut. Hagrid has been a little worried recently because the progress of his research on magical animal 'hybridization' has stalled. After asking, he found out that he needed to study the possibility of the hidden monster that was also a hybrid product.
Have new inspiration.
Daisy originally just expressed her regrets out of habit - she also knew how "terrible" West and Hagrid were, so it was better not to help them.
Unexpectedly, Sean, the second-in-command of the "Hagrid and Newt West Joint Research and Monitoring Organization" (the first-in-command is Professor Scamander), actually agreed to try to help Hagrid solve this problem.
.
This is tantamount to giving the lead to two people who are keen on playing with fire.
Sean smiled: "Isn't it because Hagrid is so distressed? I want him to have a happy Christmas..."
"Well, you are very kind, but you will have to monitor Hagrid and Professor West more strictly from now on."
"That is required……"
Sean actually didn't want to...he was not stupid and would cause trouble for himself.
The problem is, this refresh task happens to be to solve Hagrid’s troubles, so what should we do?
Coincidentally, he has always kept a hidden monster in his ring... This is a 'trophy' obtained from the previous battle with the Returned.
However, the hidden monsters are cruel in nature, and their communication skills are very low, and their intelligence is not enough to allow them to learn more effective commands, so Sean did not think about subduing those hidden monsters.
It would be a disaster to let him out. If he were to keep him, Sean wouldn't be short of money anyway, so he would just keep him in vain.
It's okay now, we bumped into each other...
In order to realize his plan of "snatching wool", Sean had to use the time turner to complete two tasks - he tried it last week, and the task at that time was to solve Harry's troubles. In the end, he successfully completed two tasks.
Task - just send something twice.
This week is of course the same. It should be enough to send two Hidden Monsters to Hagrid respectively... As for the next problem, Sean decided to find an opportunity to steal the Hidden Monster back.
Hagrid, I'm sorry, it's not that I wanted to steal the gift I gave you... the main thing is that it's too dangerous... I will compensate you with other gifts.
The two chatted to make their bodies warm again. Daisy lowered her head and looked at her waist, with some uncertainty on her face.
"Sean, do you think I've gained weight recently? My waist seems to have gotten thicker?"
"Is there any? Let me see..."
Sean looked at it and then said: "Put up your hands and let me feel it."
"Okay-" Daisy raised her hands obediently.
Sean reached out and grabbed the girl's armpit, lifted it up a few times, felt it carefully and then said firmly: "I'm not fat. The weather has been getting colder and colder recently. I just look bloated."
When a girl asks questions like "Have I gained weight recently?", it proves that she has realized that she may be a little heavier than before - and this is indeed the case, Daisy is indeed plumper than before.
A little, but even now, her waist is very slim, not fat at all.
This is purely a girl's worry.
However, if you just take a look and express the opinion of "not fat", that is different. All women will start to doubt whether they are really fat, and this will lead to many additional troubles.
Is it a loss for Sean to hold Daisy? Of course not.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! However, one action can remove a lot of extra troubles and continue to increase Daisy's favorability.
Sure enough, Sean's serious answer made Daisy instantly happy, and her worry about gaining weight disappeared instantly.
"That's good, that's good, I can relax and enjoy Christmas dinner."
"Is it still the same rules this year? Sirius and the others will still come over to spend time with you?" Sean asked casually.
Daisy nodded, with a bit of expectation on her face: "Yeah, everyone is coming together. I heard that Remus is also bringing his girlfriend, so I'm quite looking forward to it - but I heard that Remus didn't come with him at first.
I wasn’t planning to come over. I was very busy at work, but I finally had a holiday. Hehe, thank you, Mr. Wallop.”
"I'm a conscientious boss." Sean said with a smile.
The charity association that Remus is in charge of not only manages various charities, but is also an intelligence agency behind the scenes. The Returned and Halbo are eyeing each other in the trance, and Grindelwald, who is responsible for coordinating all this, takes the people under Sean
More than half of the time has passed and I am responsible for monitoring unusual situations in various places.
However, on this rare Christmas day, Sean still gave some people who are usually very busy a holiday.
"Then you won't go back this year?" Daisy asked again, tilting her head.
Sean blinked hesitantly: "Not sure yet."
He really hasn't decided yet. He hasn't spent Christmas with his family for several consecutive years. This year there aren't as many important things as in previous years. It seems a bit unreasonable not to go back.
However, although he doesn't need to worry much about things here at Hogwarts, there are still many things outside.
Sean was recently investigating the places Dumbledore had visited when he was working with the Returned, which were the places he had seen in the memory of the Invisible Monster. It was not only Baron Skinner Park, but also other locations.
Under the current situation, he couldn't let go of any information. Although it wasn't an urgent matter, he couldn't put it off forever...
However, if the rare vacation is used for "business trips", it is indeed not a pleasant thing.
Seeing his hesitation, Daisy looked around and found no one. Then she came over and hugged Sean's arm.
Sean only felt that his arm suddenly fell into a large area of softness. He looked over in surprise and saw that Xiao Baihua's face was slightly red, but she tried hard to shake Sean's arm and said coquettishly: "Just rest.
Just take a moment~"
"I can't stand it anymore if you keep shaking me like this..."
Little Baihua bit her lips lightly, with a hint of charm in her naughty smile: "I'm not asking you to be a gentleman, anyway, you've tried it - oh, just take a rest, I don't care, I'm going to lose my temper, I'm going to
You’re being petty!”
This is not being petty... Sean was slightly moved, then he smiled and shook his head: "Okay, I understand, I will have a good rest."
"That's pretty much it, hee hee. Anyway, you don't usually attend lectures. It will be the same if you skip a few classes after the vacation and go out to investigate."
"Wow, you actually encouraged the male president of the Student Union to skip class!"
Daisy blinked innocently: "Everyone usually thinks that Hermione is the only chairman."
"Okay, you have a point..."
"whee--"
Although this winter is extremely cold and snowy, as Christmas approaches, the atmosphere in Hogwarts Castle gradually becomes relaxed and warm.
On the one hand, a lot of things happened in the past years, and the world situation is not optimistic - it is still the case now, but at least on the surface there is not so much turmoil, and the lives of ordinary people are gradually returning to their original appearance.
On the other hand, Sean's operation at the beginning of the semester directly improved the enthusiasm for learning at Hogwarts by several levels. Now, when Mrs. Pince is working, a feather duster is no longer enough.
Of course, studying hard is a good thing, and everyone is happy to see it, but it must be admitted that in an atmosphere where everyone is studying hard, the psychological pressure is very different from usual - in the past, there were a lot of people who failed, but now
, there are only a few people showing off, it’s really conspicuous.
All in all, everyone is looking forward to the upcoming happy vacation.
Except for some students whose parents are traveling during the holidays or who have no relatives at home, most people still choose to go home and spend the holidays with their families.
Professors habitually stay at Hogwarts - speaking of it, it seems that a large number of Hogwarts professors are single, even the staff are like this.
To this end, Sean also specially planned a small Christmas dance. Although he was not present, everyone should like it.
On the day of the holiday, the castle suddenly became lively and busy.
"Have a happy holiday, teacher!"
"You too, go back and relax."
Sean smiled and said hello to Capone. The little guy was going back to spend the Christmas vacation with his adoptive father. Sean also gave him a holiday bonus in recognition of his outstanding performance in school.
"Sean——" Hermione and Daisy, carrying bags and scarves, walked over from the other side.
While arranging her hair, Hermione said quickly: "Daisy will meet me first, and then we will go together."
"Okay, I'll send a car to pick you two up then, so that Mr. Granger won't have to drive all the way." Sean said with a smile. They made an appointment to go to the Christmas party together, and then go there again.
Ice skating and watching Christmas plays.
After entering the magic world, this kind of life that can be seen everywhere has become luxurious for them, so they are quite looking forward to it.
Hearing Sean's answer, Hermione's expression became much happier: "Thank you, you are so considerate - God, Daisy, I must take you to the market next to my house, when I was a child..."
The chatter between the girls seemed lively and warm, and Sean couldn't help but smile.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Several people walked out of the castle. When they were approaching the door, a figure flashed past in the corridor next to them.
Sean narrowed his eyes and then said to the two of them: "You guys go to the train first. I have something else to do and will come back later."
"Then hurry up, we still have to check."
"Don't worry, I'll be here soon."
Sean left the crowd and walked towards the place where the figure had flashed just now.
"Sean, I wish you a happy holiday." Colton walked out of the shadows with a serious look on his face.
"Thanks, you too - buddy, there's no need to be so nervous." Sean said funny.
Colton pulled his scarf, it seemed a little tight: "I'm not nervous-"
"Then I'm leaving?" Sean said immediately.
Colton immediately stepped forward and said seriously: "Okay, I'm just nervous, let's confirm the details again."
"uh-huh?"
"In the dance, you choose your own partner, but you know, neither Sherlock nor I will invite each other, so you added a random selection link - my first dance is with, uh, Mrs. Pince?"
Sean nodded: "Sherlock's first dance was with Hagrid - Hagrid and Mrs. Pince are the two worst dancers among the faculty. After that, in the second round, you draw lots according to my requirements.
You will definitely get Shylock."
"Well, what then?" Colton swallowed.
Sean spread his hands: "Is Sherlock's character bound to reject you impatiently?"
"right."
"Then just do as I say—"
Colton nodded, then hesitated: "Well, what if she didn't refuse?"
"Isn't that what you expected - and remember what I told you, understand?" Sean showed a hint of expectant smile.
