Tom and Hermione returned to Hogwarts the day before school started. Like a miracle, they finished all their homework.
"I can finally take a rest." Tom leaned on the armchair in the common room, feeling the warm fire beside him, which was extremely comfortable.
Hermione was sitting across from him, doing final checks on the homework. Perhaps because all the homework was finished, Hermione seemed to be in a particularly good mood. She was humming a song while revising with Tom's quill.
Errors and omissions in the paper.
"This is really useful," her eyes turned into crescents, and she crossed out several unreasonable sentences on the paper. At this time, Richie, the captain of the Ravenclaw Quidditch team, found Tom and patted him.
He raised his shoulder, gesturing for him to take a step to speak.
"I hope you have a fulfilling and happy Christmas." Richie politely said.
Tom raised his eyebrows. He had more than fulfilled his Christmas.
Richie looked around and saw that no one was around. He leaned against the wall and said in a low voice: "I got three pieces of news when I came to Hogwarts today. One is that the dementors near Hogwarts have been killed."
Everyone evacuated."
Naturally, as soon as Operation "Tornado" started, Tom evacuated all the dementors still stranded around Hogwarts, and now they are all on rotation in White Dolphin Prison.
Mr. Borgin told Tom in his letter that White Dolphin Prison now has nearly a thousand serious prisoners and has begun to operate normally. The prisoners inside fell in love with labor, and the guards were not happy to let them go back to the rest area. Even
There was a conflict, but Peter severely suppressed it as soon as it started. The leader liked to offer a seven-day confinement package - he was confined to his own cell for a whole week, and his qualifications to work in the factory area were also limited.
It was cancelled, and he has to wait until the confinement is over to queue up again. According to the current popularity of the factory area, he is lucky to be able to get a place in the queue in a month.
Once the big killer weapon of confinement was used, all the prisoners became obedient. If they were obedient, they could go to the cafeteria to take a good rest three times a day. If they dared to stab people, they would be imprisoned for a whole week. There was also a strange story circulating in the prison.
: There are invisible monsters watching everyone in the rest area all the time. No one can commit suicide here, and no one can escape here. The management here seems to be very loose, but in fact it is the most difficult prison to escape in the world.
In order to compete for job quotas in the prison factory, the prisoners also got involved in each other, forming a crazy competition between quality and output. Only prisoners who work quickly and well can continue to work in the factory. Working in the factory,
There is a meager salary. The prisoners will choose to pour all their salary into the canteen.
It is also located in the work area. As long as they spend money, they can stay there for a while. Their daily salary allows them to find a seat in the canteen after finishing their work and sit there for a while. The hunchback in the canteen
The boss has a dark heart. In his canteen, just sitting in a daze costs money!
Prisoners are paid one pound an hour and work eight hours a day, while seats in the canteen sell for ten pounds an hour, starting from half an hour. This means that a prisoner can only sit in the canteen for half an hour during a working day.
As for the remaining three pounds, Bojin also helped the prisoners plan it. He very patiently launched a tea set: a cup of black tea or coffee and a biscuit cost three pounds, which could be used as snacks for the prisoners during their break.
After work, coming to the canteen to relax is simply a paradise. The premise of all this is that they can grab a seat.
The canteen has limited space and can only accommodate a dozen people. Prison guards strictly prohibit inmates from gathering and queuing outside the canteen. Therefore, after work, the prisoners either rely on their extraordinary luck and become the lucky ones to grab a seat, or they have to
Spend money to buy the right to use the seat from the first person to arrive.
Prisoners who have gained unexpected wealth can buy some other snacks from the canteen and bring them back to the rest area - chocolate and beer in the canteen are hot sellers because they have a certain effect on relieving the severe cold in the rest area. A thumb-sized chocolate is worth ten
Pounds and a small beer are the same price.
Among the nearly a thousand prisoners, the happiest ones are Villanelle and Ames. They have become permanent employees in the cafeteria and go to work in the cafeteria on time every day, making other prisoners extremely envious. However,
This is not the biggest advantage. The two of them have successfully monopolized the vodka supply channels in the prison. The vodka obtained from the cafeteria aunt can effectively numb their brains and make despair less real. If they can get drunk before going back
Yes, that's even better. After you get drunk, you won't feel the despair caused by the dementors.
…
The evacuation of the Dementors was huge good news for Gryffindor, because they didn't have to worry about their team's Seeker falling from the sky midway through the match. After that match in the heavy rain, Gryffindor
The college had some doubts about its own college's seeker.
They were not worried about Harry's level at all, they were worried about his resistance to the Dementors. In a hard-power match on the court, Gryffindor thought that none of the other three houses could beat it, but the Dementors were obviously
It's off-field factors. Some people even think that we need to find a substitute for Harry.
After learning that the Dementors had evacuated, this voice disappeared - Slytherin was very disappointed.
After talking about the Dementors, Richie's expression became solemn: "I heard a news. It is said that Harry received a Firebolt, a real, guaranteed Firebolt... This
The news is absolutely reliable..."
The Firebolt is enough to create a generational gap with other broomsticks. The Gryffindor Quidditch team with the Firebolt is like the Air Force with fourth-generation fighters. Facing the other three colleges that are generally equipped with third-generation and third-and-a-half-generation fighters, the Gryffindor Quidditch team has formed
A huge advantage.
After Richie heard the news, he couldn't sleep well. When he heard that Tom had returned to school, he hurriedly came to see him. He hoped that Tom could make a complete comeback, lock in the absolute advantage of the chaser, and try to open up a huge gap.
to win the victory. As for letting his college's Seeker find the Golden Snitch before Harry did, Richie felt that anyone with such an idea should wash their face with cold water.
Tom's expression became strange, "Firebolt? I just received one during Christmas."
