Christmas is coming. One morning in mid-December, Hogwarts School woke up from a dream and found that the surroundings were covered with several feet of snow and the lake was covered with hard ice. The Weasley twins were punished
, because they had enchanted some snowballs so that they chased Quirrell around and hit him on the back of his turban.
Seeing this scene, Ryan admired from the bottom of his heart the heroic act of slapping Voldemort in the face of the Weasley twins.
With the holidays approaching, some classes are a bit unbearable. For example, Professor Snape's potions class. Since the classroom is underground and has no heating, you can laugh out loud when you open your mouth in it.
He was so angry. Not to mention that when his hands and feet were numb from the cold, he had to endure the vicious tongue of Professor Snape who was even colder than the temperature of the classroom.
"I feel really sorry for those people," Draco Malfoy challenged during a Potions class, "They have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because their families don't want them."
But Harry seemed unmoved, and even a little happy. He felt that it was so exciting not to go back to the Dursleys for Christmas, and Malfoy's words could not ruin his good mood at all.
Last week, when Professor McGonagall registered the students at the school, Harry and the Weasley brothers all chose to stay. Harry stayed to get rid of the Dursleys, while the Weasley brothers chose to stay because of their
The parents are going to Romania to visit Charlie.
Hermione and Ryan chose to go home for Christmas. After all, this was their first time away from home for so long. Of course, Ryan and the others also told Harry and Ron, who were staying at school, that they would prepare gifts for them and look forward to their gifts.
Although they searched a bunch of books in the past two weeks and could not find who Nicoléme was, this did not affect their expectations for Christmas at all.
Ten days before Christmas, the day of vacation arrived. After breakfast, Ryan picked up his schoolbag and headed to the station in Hogsmeade with his classmates who were going home.
After exiting the wrought-iron gates decorated with winged boars on both sides of the school, and walking for ten minutes, they arrived at the platform of Hogsmeade Station, where the Hogwarts Express was already waiting.
There were not as many people in the car as when they arrived, so Ryan and Hermione found an empty box. After a while, Longbottom also sat in.
Originally, Ryan wanted to relax, but Hermione took out her homework and started writing. This caused Ryan and Neville, who were playing wizard chess, to put away their chess pieces and start writing without finishing a game.
After a day's journey, the train arrived at King's Cross Station. In the square in front of the station, they met Neville's grandmother.
Mrs. Longbottom was very grateful to Ryan and Hermione for their help in facing Neville at school, which made them feel a little embarrassed.
After saying goodbye to Longbottom's grandparents, Ryan and Hermione also took taxis home respectively. Before saying goodbye, Hermione repeatedly told Ryan to ask his father about the origin of Nicolas Flamel. If he found it, he could call to inform him.
she.
When he got home, Ryan opened the door and found that his parents had prepared dinner and were waiting for him. This made Ryan feel the warmth of family that he had not seen for a long time.
After dinner and before going to bed, it is time for Ryan to communicate with his parents about his life at school and what has happened recently at home. The good news is that his father, Mr. Lambert's new novel has been selling well recently, so a few days before Christmas
It may be quite busy, with some book signings and book signings.
After reading for a while after dinner, Ryan chose to go to bed early. After all, taking the train for a day was very tiring.
…
After that, it was a pleasant Christmas vacation. Apart from doing homework every day and spending seven or eight minutes on the phone with Hermione to discuss the day's homework. The rest of the time was very happy at Ryan, as both parents were busy with other things and were away from home.
Ryan began to practice using various mechanical structures at home one by one to improve his proficiency in the "Winter Home Industrial Manual".
Of course, the luckiest thing for Ryan is that practicing magic in the world of the Wanjie Grocery Store will not be discovered by people from the Ministry of Magic through the healds, which gives him a lot more time to practice.
As Christmas approached, Ryan went to the community library to meet Hermione. Because during the phone call the day before, Ryan told Hermione that he had found information about Nicolas Flamel.
After all, for finding something, if you already know the answer, it is not difficult to find a reasonable proof process.
After knowing that Nicoléme de Flamel was a French medieval alchemist, it is not that difficult to find him in a large amount of information.
Ryan didn't wait for a few minutes in the library when he saw Hermione walking in wearing a blue down jacket. Then she sat across from Ryan and asked: "You said you had found the answer, how did you do it?
"
Lane said: "I asked my father when I got home, and he told me that he looked up the name when he was writing a fantasy novel about the Middle Ages, but couldn't remember the details at the moment. So I looked through what my father was writing about.
I found these through the information collected during the writing of this novel.”
After saying that, Ryan took off the schoolbag on his back and took out a pile of information. He opened a page, pointed to the words on it, and read word for word:
"Nicolas Flamel, a Frenchman, was a famous alchemist in the 14th century. His most famous contribution is said to have created the alchemist's magic stone, the Philosopher's Stone, and used it to successfully turn mercury into gold.
At the same time, according to legend, he gained immortality. People continued to witness him until 1929. In addition, although public information proves that he died in his hometown in 1427, some greedy people robbed his and his wife's graves.
, and found that it was empty. This also proved from another aspect that he had gained immortality."
And this, after Ryan finished speaking, he took out another map. Hermione stepped forward and found that it was a map of Paris.
"What's on this map?" Hermione asked.
"Look here." Ryan pointed to a circled place on the map. "51 Rue Montmorency, House of Nicoléme, this place used to be Nicoléme's house. So this means that Nicoléme
He was an alchemist who lived in Paris, France during the Middle Ages."
"I thought about it, the Philosopher's Stone should be hidden there." Hermione exclaimed in a low voice. "Because when we were searching in the library that day, Harry told me that he suspected that the day he went to Diagon Alley,
A small bag that Hagrid took out from the deepest vault of Gringotts was what was hidden under the trap door. So judging from the size and other existing information, the hidden things are most likely to be magic.
