Festivals and holidays are always short. After spending a happy Christmas and holidays, the students of Hogwarts once again returned to the castle where they study and live.
Although most students are still suffering from the aftereffects of the holiday and cannot quickly get back to their studies. But neither Rove nor Harry is one of them. They quickly adjusted their mentality to welcome the next one.
study.
In fact, for the two of them, this holiday was not completely fruitless. In addition to spending time with their families, Rove and Luna also traveled around together.
As for Harry, his relationship with Ginny warmed up. While the other Weasley children doubted him, only Ginny believed that he had not been influenced by Voldemort.
"We wanted to talk to you, Harry, but you've been hiding since you came back—"
"I don't need anyone to talk to me!"
"Then you are a bit stupid. Among the people you know, I am the only one who has been possessed by a mysterious man. I can tell you what it feels like."
Harry had to admit that Ginny's words at that time touched him so much that he didn't know how to answer her for a moment. Only after being stunned for a while did he realize that he should apologize.
"Sorry...I forgot."
"You're so lucky," Ginny said coldly.
"sorry..."
Harry apologized sincerely again and asked Ginny what she thought.
"So...do you think I'm possessed?"
"Can you remember everything you've done? Are there big gaps where you don't know what you did?"
After Harry thought about it hard, he found that this situation did not happen, so he told Ginny.
"No."
"The mysterious man didn't possess you. When he possessed me, I didn't know what he was doing for a few hours. I found myself in a place, but I didn't know how I got there."
"But I dreamed about your dad and the snake—"
"But I remember you told me that you had had this kind of nightmare before, dreaming that you could see what Voldemort was doing."
"But this time is different. This time I feel like I am in the body of a snake, as if I am the snake... What if Voldemort used magic to transport me to London -?"
"If you have read "Hogwarts: A School History", you should know that apparation and disembodiment are impossible in Hogwarts, and even Voldemort can't make you fly out of the dormitory."
The conversation with Ginny made Harry feel much better. Even if others may still doubt him, at least Ginny is willing to believe him. And he no longer has to doubt himself and fall into endless mental internal friction.
This gave him relief, and for the first time he felt like he had a good appetite. Then he heard the happy singing of Sirius Black coming from outside the door, just like his daily attire, like a Muggle rock
singer.
So much so that Harry was infected by Sirius and started humming together in a low voice. Sirius has such a charm. When he is happy, he can infect everyone with his happiness.
He was happy now that his house was full of people, especially the return of Harry. He was no longer the gloomy host he was during the summer, and now he seemed determined to make everyone feel like they were at Hogwarts.
happy.
He worked tirelessly to prepare for the holidays, cleaning and decorating the house with everyone's help. When they went to bed on Christmas Eve, the home was unrecognizable.
The decoration of the entire house has been completely renovated. It is no longer the original luxurious appearance, but is filled with holly and gold and silver ribbons full of Christmas atmosphere, while the magic snowflakes are piled brightly on the luxurious carpet.
Finally, Sirius bought a big Christmas tree to cover his family tree, and decorated it with live elves. Even the elves on the wall in the foyer wore Santa Claus hats and beards.
All in all, Harry successfully spent a happy Christmas after talking to Ginny. And when he woke up the next day, he received many gifts from friends.
Hermione gave him a notebook, but every time he opened a page, it would say famous sayings such as "Today's work, today's done!" to urge him to continue to make progress, which was indeed very Hermione's style.
What Hermione gave to Rove was a technological artifact from the Muggle world. She knew that he seemed to like such little things and would secretly cast spells on them.
In Rove's words, he was trying to combine magic and technology to create magic technology. But he encountered a big bottleneck, that is, he could not find a suitable source of power.
It seems that nothing can produce magic out of thin air, except wizards and various magical animals. Even alchemy follows the most basic rules, which requires the existence of a spellcaster.
The same is true for potions, so much so that Rove once thought of using wizards as living batteries to power his magic technology creations.
The problem of the number of wizards can be solved through technology. Yes, it is cloning technology. Since wizards are not much different from Muggles in essence, can they also be cloned through cloning technology?
As for the amount of magic power, if it is actually decided by the wizard personally, then it would be better to use Dumbledore or Grindelwald's cells as a template.
With their talents, they must be the most suitable magic battery. However, if they really do this, they may become the third generation Dark Lord, or even an even more terrifying existence.
Rolf had to shelve this plan and focus on improving himself and solving Voldemort. In fact, even if Voldemort was solved, the matter was not completely over.
At least the circus his parents were still tracking, and the entire industrial chain and organization behind it. And what was discovered in Azkaban, were the real dangers.
Voldemort is just a medium-sized nuisance, and now my combat effectiveness is about the same as, or even better than, his.
The only thing that needs to be solved is his Horcruxes. As for how to solve Voldemort's Horcruxes, Dumbledore already has a full plan to destroy them.
It was enough for Rolf to follow him through the process step by step, and he was very supportive of Dumbledore's idea of training Harry.
After all, if Rove doesn't want to stand up on his own, then supporting and training a junior who will serve as a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic is the best choice.
Dumbledore, on the other hand, thought further. The principal was actually training one successor. But now, there are two.
