After entering November, the weather became very cold. The mountains around the school were gray and covered with ice and snow, and the lake surface was as cold and hard as quenched steel.
The whole Hogwarts has become lively because the Quidditch season is here!
But for Anton,
All the waves have calmed down.
Nothing seems to have changed, everything has changed.
Quirrell still walked in the depths of the Forbidden Forest every night, but Anton was no longer around.
Professor Voldemort still maintained his Sunday classes, but he no longer had the grace of the past. He seemed to have exhausted his patience and became irritable.
Snape's Saturday classes also became weird. He always stared directly at Anton, showing an inexplicable emotion. It was obvious that he was a little nervous and inexplicably anxious.
But these are all foreign objects. I am lucky to get them, but I am destined to lose them.
Anton barely maintained his balance and fell into a craze for reading.
White magic!
Well, although there is no such term in the wizarding world, there should be a term corresponding to black magic.
Anton took Dumbledore's loan slip and began to frequently visit the restricted area of the library to borrow high-end white magic books.
Very difficult!
In the past month, he has only read less than two books, and the second one is still being understood over and over again.
His current subject is Dumbledore.
In fact, Voldemort can also teach, but who knows when Voldemort will completely lose his patience. He can listen to as many lessons about the soul as possible, but Anton will not take the initiative to change the subject.
One is "The Wonders of the Animagus".
After in-depth understanding, Anton finally understood why there are only seven officially registered Animagus in the wizarding world.
Because this spell is boring, useless and a waste of time.
In the words of Pedro the Elf, why don't you focus all your energy on the Iron Armor Curse?
First of all, it is an extremely time-consuming high-end transformation technique that is very troublesome and dangerous. With average luck, it may take a wizard several years to complete the steps of this spell.
Secondly, its effect is to turn into an ordinary non-magical animal, and it is a single option, which cannot be changed after the transformation. This transformation can retain the thinking ability, self-identity and memory similar to the human form.
But after turning into an animal, feelings and emotions will be simplified and replaced by the wild desires of animals. Even eating habits will follow animal instincts.
"Learning this spell is a complete waste of time." Dumbledore also said the same. "If you want to hide your body, the wizarding world has more options. The most labor-saving way is to buy an invisibility cloak."
Anton pursed his lips and said, "You also know my bionic curse. Maybe I can draw an analogy, which is of great reference value."
Although Dumbledore didn't quite agree, he still explained carefully, including why he had to hold the drake leaves in his mouth for a month, why he had to wait for the storm formed by nature, etc.
Yes, he pays more attention to the wonderful connection between wizards, nature and magic.
As expected of a master of Transfiguration, Dumbledore's lessons were equally exciting.
But Dumbledore didn't know that Anton must learn this spell.
The Animagus was the only way he knew how to escape from Azkaban, and he must, must learn it.
You don't know when you will move in.
The second book he is currently studying is "One Hundred and Fifty-Two Variations of the Head Bubble Curse".
The function of the Bubble Head Charm is to create a large bubble around the caster's head, which looks like a goldfish bowl upside down on the head. This spell can be used to breathe underwater, or to isolate the surrounding dirty air.
.
Anton was not very interested in this curse.
However, the book compiler's various whimsical manipulations of magic spells and ideas for changing magic spells are very useful for reference.
This can guide him to better expand the Levitation Spell into a more powerful and widely applicable spell.
Just like that, Anton looked up from his book and was shocked to find that the lively Hogwarts Quidditch season had ended inexplicably!
Harry, Ron and Hermione became more mysterious, Professor Voldemort's temper became more and more irritable, Snape became more and more entangled, and Dumbledore also repeatedly asked Anton about the contact process with Professor Quirrell.
"I seem to have missed something interesting."
Anton shrugged, immersed in the beauty of magic again.
"whatever."
…
…
Just like that, the two-week long Christmas vacation arrived.
Woohoo~~~
The train started slowly and left Hogsmeade Station.
Anton still didn't enter the car. He placed his suitcase next to the aisle and sat on it looking at the scenery outside the railing.
Life is like a journey with no end, and everyone can only be carried forward by fate.
Even if they go back to the past cleverly, people will always find that this is just a part of the journey of destiny, and there is no way to escape what is coming.
Confrontation is the solution to all problems.
Anton simply has this awareness and resilience.
Overall, except for the night when Voldemort planned to devour him, this half-year school career was relaxing and enjoyable.
The background music can be brisk and gentle passacaglia piano music.
Awesome.
Lupine drove a navy blue sports car to pick him up.
"Hey, you changed a car again?" Anton looked at this uncle curiously.
Although Lupine became rich, his past experiences made this gentle old man know how to live better. Except for spending money on Anton, Anna and Ilsa, Lupine was not the kind of person who was extravagant.
"Actually, it's been half a year, on the day you went to school." Lupine said this with a heartbroken look on his face, "I shouldn't have let Arthur drive my car. Oh my God, he actually thought that my car was my car."
Cars can fly!”
The corner of Anton's mouth twitched, not knowing how to evaluate it.
Returning home with the salute in hand.
Bang!
Fireworks made of colored paper exploded. Anna and Ilsa each held a paper firework and wore funny hats.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Anna grinned shyly, "Welcome home!"
Anton smiled, very happily.
The old wizard did not follow him back. In fact, he could not take the Hogwarts train, he could only pass through it.
Having to float all the way from Hogwarts to home, maybe he could just receive a letter from Anton returning to school to report that he was safe.
Pedro is not here either. It is said that with the help of Rozier, he plans to follow Lupine's example and open a factory to feed his fellow goblins.
As for Nagini, she is where Rozier is.
"It's difficult." Lupine sighed, "The goblins don't trust Pedro, the wizards don't trust Pedro, and even the hired wizard manager has a lot of problems."
Lupine has an excellent reputation as a character among the werewolf community, and Pedro, a wise man who has lived for hundreds of years, has a reputation as a wise man - haha, why did you go there earlier?
In general, although Pedro was very anxious, he was very happy and tried his best to make up for his past mistakes.
So this Christmas it will be just the four of them.
Everyone came downstairs, where a sumptuous banquet had been prepared early.
Lu Ping proudly said in the letter that he signed up for the cooking class, but in the whole table, there was only one plate of egg fried rice made by him.
Anton took a glance, oh, the progress is really great.
Added diced carrots, mung beans, ham, mushrooms, pineapple...
Anyway, it looks interesting with all the bells and whistles.
Miss Ilsa contributed a large chicken wrap and a fruit salad.
so……
The dishes that fill the entire table are still the same as those of the two Chinese restaurants and the French restaurant.
"Oh, you two really love life." Anton mocked.
Lupine shrugged, "The company is too busy."
Ilsa sighed, "Obviously I don't have a great talent for cooking, but we changed the home theater to the largest screen possible."
