Chapter 52: Christmas (revised, rewritten 2 times, typos have been corrected)

A small wizard with a pair of glasses and a tall and thin wizard with a high hairline swayed out of it. Judging from their closer direction, the two seemed to be going to the left room— —Then they heard the movement and the Harris brothers looked at each other.
　　 "Enemy attack! That Auror ran away!" The dull expressions of these two guys dressed up like wizard otaku became frightened for a short time and began to scream, turning around, seeming to want to go back inside to make people.
　　 "All petrochemicals!"
　　 "fainted!"
The quick-reaction Harris brothers cast the spell almost at the same time, but due to the relatively long distance at this time, when Allen’s petrification spell flew, the target had already moved away from the original position, while the trained Albert Prejudged the opponent's walking position in advance, and the fainting spell flying from the tip of his wand exuding a strong red light accurately hit the spectacle wizard. During the run, the wizard was locked in the air, and was hit again after a while. Fly hit the wall, and before he was hit, he was fainted under the effect of the spell-fainted ground is often used in duels, it can very effectively make the opponent temporarily lose consciousness and stop attacking. It is a very practical and common spell for the caster to win.
Albert, who successfully knocked down the enemy, had no intention of showing off to his younger brother at this time, because the missing wizard's shouts kept coming from the door, which should have disturbed the people inside, "Allen, I will stop it. You run out first...damn it!"
　　 Albert found that his brother had started to approach the middle door with his wand, and he was forced to follow.
After discovering that the other party had been resolved due to an emergency, Allen estimated the power balance between the two sides, stepped over a few steps, stepped on the spectacle wizard’s wand with one foot, then walked into the middle door and released it. He slowed for a few seconds and let his brother who was making up the fallen wizard follow him.
After passing through a passage, and looking at the porch with Albert, it is a very wide round stone palace. Around the stone palace are stone statues of animals of various shapes. They all have magic lights on their heads. The lights will never go out. The shining is so subtle.
The most eye-catching thing in the room is a sculpture at the far end of the room against the wall. In the center of the palace is a huge statue of the Moon God. He has four hands, one holding a scepter and the other holding it. The Immortal Dew Bottle, which symbolizes immortality, holds the lotus in the third hand, and the other hand is in a defensive state. He was driving a three-wheeled chariot drawn by antelopes and ten horses that were as white as jasmine flowers, as if traveling. And in the center of the statue’s brow, there is a round yellow gem inlaid, and occasionally there is a streamer flashing on the gem, shiningly proclaiming its extraordinary-until the system suddenly sounds a bit of a warning, telling Alan that this piece of the statue’s forehead It's a fake.
Inside, the four wizards who had fled back have begun to surround themselves. Two of them are of Indian descent. Their heads are wrapped in thick and beautifully decorated headscarves. Another ghost-like figure fell under the statue. A bald and swollen head with rose tattoos all around his eyes. He wore ragged clothes and no shoes like a few Indians. The abscesses on his body were bare, and his status seemed to be higher than the others.
"Qianwei? Herman Hewen! He is the Death Eater Herman Hewen. I saw him on the ministry file. How did he become like this? Wait..." Albert was slightly shocked. Xia focused his gaze on his younger brother again, "Come back!"
Allen smiled confidently at his brother. After seeing the enemy, he used all the remaining "study halo" one-time choices in it. This is the trump card for daring to make himself and his brother two-to-four. Although it is a pity that the aura is used up, it seems that Alan, as a wizard, can hear the angry shouts of many people when he obtains and uses it. Some superstitions think that Alan’s decision is not to be long. It’s better to have this way too unbalanced. According to the category in the Ravenclaw Library titled "Starting Point", whether it’s a story book with a beginning or a half without ending, it’s This kind of protagonist who is more than he should have the ability to master, if he receives this kind of warning and ignores their consequences, either there will be no good end, or even the book itself will become only half of the progress and there will be no follow-up. The incomplete product.
Taking advantage of the distance between the two sides, Alan was delighted under the influence of the halo. The moon gem was at that position. He stretched out his pocket and contained it was a magical object that had been cursed without a trace. Opened the system storage space and took out Neptune from the inside, turned over and raised his magic wand and quickly flew out: "Albert, I attract firepower, you pay attention to it!"
　　 "You bastard! Stop it!"
　　 ignored his brother's roar, Allen took advantage of the speed of flight to increase the distance from the enemy, and Albert also used this opportunity to rush in and hide behind an animal statue.
At this time, the four magic wands that followed Allen continued to cast spells, but due to distance and speed issues, Allen easily prejudged to avoid them with his flying talent. The spells were ejected on the top relief of the underground palace. , The gravel was splashing, and the fire was everywhere.
　　 Both sides are in their respective positions, and both sides of the battle are full of strength and want to kill each other.
From his own point of view, Albert saw his brother behaved and thought he was dying. At this time, he had no energy to care about the Auror regulations. Although he did not dare to use the unforgivable curse of the death curse, but Powerful black magic continued to be released from his wand, which was originally a Jewish wizard. Although the effect and casting speed were somewhat affected because it was not his own wand, for a while, flames and strong acid had splash effects. Powerful magic forced several Indians to devote some energy to avoid injury.
As Allen, riding on a broomstick and holding a wand, gradually looked for the best place to attack, Herman avoided Albert's thunderbolt after an explosion. Allen used the dust splashed by the explosion to use the halo The increase brought by it was quickly cast against the ground behind Hermann from a long distance and completed a transformation technique. Several sharp-edged Lego toys appeared at Hermann’s feet. The original round bumps now became A sharp cone with a metallic luster.
Sure enough, after just waiting a few seconds, the barefoot Herman jumped back while avoiding Albert's curse. The root of the little finger of his right foot and the tip of the sole of the foot were pierced by Lego toys-Allen jumped on the opponent When I got up, I couldn't bear to look straight and turned my head.
Then Allen put a handful of raging flames on the heads of several Indians, one of them couldn't avoid making his thick turban start to burn-his partner immediately helped him take off the turban, revealing the Mediterranean hairstyle inside. And the condition of his remaining greasy hair looks terrible because of the long turban.
At this time, Herman seemed to want to scream, but because of the pain, he just opened his mouth and made a weird short sound. Even heavier breathing would cause the pain to stop attacking. He leaned over and wanted to pull out the Lego that was still stuck in the wound.
Albert, who has been professionally trained by Auror, seized the opportunity to cast spells in succession. Although Herman resisted the first round of attacks with the iron armor curse regardless of the pain, he was finally noticed because of impaired mobility and pain. The power drop was hit by Albert's fainting spell and he passed out.
　　 The remaining three people found that a wizard with the strongest combat power on their side was dealt with. They were a little dazed and resented, pointing their wands at the two Ellens, and attacked again.
But the Indian magic system, which is more good at curses and rituals and not good at fighting, is not an opponent of the European system that is popular in duel in battle, and the thin and tall one who just ran away is nothing but the subordinate of these three people. Good hand.
What's more, Albert is still a professionally trained Auror. Although Alan is still limited in his real strength and cannot use too many uncommon black magic in front of his brother, he is improved by the knowledge and luck brought by the aura. , Coupled with the defensive effect of the wizard's robe and the application of polymorphism is still enough to make them quickly solve the battle even though they are two enemies four.
Facing several Indians who were in a coma, Albert destroyed their magic wands, stripped them out a few times, and then used Transfiguration to turn their own clothes into ropes and tied them up. Then, he treated other people One person added another petrification curse.
"When have you been so good, little bastard?" Albert, after successfully solving the enemy, relaxed a little and then exclaimed excitedly at his brother's performance, and then he felt that his performance was inappropriate. Zhang Lian said, "After I go back, I must tell my father and mother and ask them to discipline you. Haven't you been assigned to the Eagle Yard? How come you behave like those little lions?!"
"Albert, don't you take that gem? Be careful not to touch it directly with your hands. It may be cursed." Alan calmly diverted his brother's attention. Albert nodded when he heard the words, and he rushed over. Use a magic wand to carefully start trying to fetch gems...
The system has determined that the stone in Albert’s hand is not authentic and marked him with the location of the authenticity. This makes Allen more puzzled about the system. The purpose of this mission is to detect that Alan has a chance to get something good. It’s like posting a task for him to fetch it...
But there is no way to continue to think about it. When Albert started to wrap the fake piece with a piece of cloth to prevent him from accidentally touching it directly, he pretended to observe and came to the statue of the Moon God, knowing that Albert’s hands were not genuine. After searching for it, he saw the yellow gem placed in a secret grid under the statue sitting on the stage. Alan brushed his hand gently and quickly put the gem into the storage space.
"Allen, wait for me a little bit." After collecting the fake gems, Albert walked to the Death Eater who had been and petrified in a coma, and Albert faced his face in the same way as his brother treated his roommate. There came a clear spring like water, and when he woke up, his eyes started to spin and began to use "contemplation" on him.
　　 It turned out that several Indians were the guardians of moon gems. India was once a British colony. During the colonization, moon gems flowed into Britain. In order to ensure the effect of the moon gem, the British wizards of several pure-blood families involved in the incident secretly built this underground palace and erected a statue of the moon god, in an attempt to use this moon gem to produce similar magic by means of human sacrifice. The effect of the stone creates an elixir.
However, although this fake elixir has a certain degree of life-extending effect, it is too cruel to absorb the grievances of the victims and produce a curse, and these people have no means to break this curse, so People who have taken this medicine will become swollen and deformed, and eventually they will end their lives due to increasing torture.
The guardian of this generation is connected with Herman Shivan. As a loyal subordinate of a mysterious man, Herman Shivan wants to use this thing to revive his master, while the Indian wizard wants to use his master to curse He was good at cracking the curse, the two sides formed an alliance in one shot—Herman Shivan couldn't resist the temptation to try to take the potion and became a little crazy.
After doing this, Albert cast a spell again to make Herman Shiven into a coma, and then after he glanced at his brother, he imposes oblivion on everyone and put Allen in their memory. It was wiped out: "Sorry, Ellen, it stands to reason that you can at least get a Merlin Medal of 3rd class this time, but I think it's better not to let other people know as well... It’s not a problem to show color in the first grade. But you’d better conceal your talents in dark magic. It won’t be a problem to reveal it in a few years... You may not know it, it is a sensitive matter for many people..."
"It's okay, Albert, I understand... it's easy to be associated with a mysterious person when he was young." In fact, Alan wanted Albert to help him cover up his actions this time, just to use the big brother's reason to go down the steps. He walked down and said, "Don't worry, Albert, I just found some books left by the predecessors in the Ravenclaw lounge and the responsive room, and did not indulge in this..."
"Thank you for risking your life to save me..." Albert nodded, feeling a bit silly in his tone, and changed his tone. "As a thank you, I won't tell my mother what you did today. Of course, if you Don’t blame me for showing your feet and being discovered by them, take out your broom... Did you ask the senior classmates to cast you the innocuous stretch curse or did you make it yourself? Be careful not to put too much stuff, in case the curse is cast If you are not in place, your posture is wrong, and you may even be crushed to death by what you put inside... Forget it, let's fly out first, and I will notify the Ministry of Magic."
"Your brother is very popular in school. Miss Ravenclaw made it for me." Alan boasted along the excuse his brother made, and took out his broomstick and sat on it— —It wasn't until I sat on it that Allen remembered the pattern on the Templar badge, suppressed the awkwardness in his heart, and flew out with Albert.
　　 After going out, Albert used Apparition to send Alan back to Aunt Josephine's house, and found that Auntie had fallen asleep. He didn't have time to have a long talk with Allen, and he needed to return to the ministry immediately to request support for the finishing work.
Once again, Albert took the teleported, somewhat dizzy Allen and tiptoed back to his bed. The comfortable bed gradually relaxed his tight nerves. Allen probed his own gains from this mission. First of all, naturally It was a few plesiosaur skins. If it weren't for the Philosopher's Stone and there was no shortage of pocket money, it would take him a while and Ron to use it for several years by just selling one.
　　 And the systematic reward makes Allen feel more practical, and the reward is exactly what Allen needs-the constant spell ability "animal understanding".
Although this permanent spell ability, which is similar to language proficiency, the effect is not too reliable, but it allows Alan and the animals who voluntarily communicate with him to understand each other's language, but it is not the same as the snake tongue. , It doesn’t make Allen really learn and use the other’s language—when he says a word, he may be able to make this owl understand but the other one may not understand what he’s saying at all.
　　 But on the whole, it is better than Hagrid's kind, relying purely on thick skin and countless personal experiences and affinity for magical animals to communicate with animals.
This time, Allen set his future learning goal to learn Phantom Transformation. Although it is routinely arranged to study in the sixth grade at Hogwarts, according to the storyline of the learning materials, this transmission technology is the most important. In fact, the three D principles, namely goals () determination () and calmness (), are things related to the mind.
Although Alan was affected by factors such as his body’s age, endocrine, etc., he was not a real minor after all, so he was more confident in learning this technique-the most important thing was when he went there. He was riding a broomstick, stepping on the stars, braving the bitter cold, and flying in the wind for a long time, and when he returned, although he was a little dizzy and teleported, Alan really envied the convenience of getting him back in the blink of an eye. .
The next day, when the aunt who was going to go to Diagon Alley to buy a new wand was up early and muttered that she found the wand lost last night in the corner of the bathroom, Owen Harris beamed up to pick up his youngest son Ellen and youngest daughter Emily. Family.
Back at home in Dorset, Alan was greeted with an extremely hearty lunch for the British, parsley soup, ham omelette and cardamom sour bun, as well as veal with sour plum gravy, and the dessert was pickled in sugar. Shrimp, more delicious butter beer to accompany meals, and of course Mrs. Harris’s specialty heavy cheese cake.
　　 Allen, who had been active last night and hadn't eaten anything, and Albert, who had been hungry for a longer time, became the main force, almost completely exhausted.
　　 After dinner, Alberta stayed in Allen and whispered to him that he had received praise from the ministry and a large sum of Jin Jialong as a bonus. What makes Albert most happy is that he has a two-month vacation.
　　 Some straightforward Albert felt that he was a little sorry for his brother who had worked hard, and wanted to give all the Jin Jialong bonus to Allen.
Allen did not refuse his brother’s kindness, but it only takes half. Although for the first-year wizard who can’t go to Hogsmeade, he doesn’t even have the opportunity to use the pocket money given by his family, and he is not used to being like other children of the same age. Like a wizard, I ask seniors and sisters who can go to carry it, but Christmas gifts are still a lot of money for him who is very popular, especially if he wants to give some not so "Weasley" style. At the time of the things-Allen originally planned to use the Philosopher’s Stone to make some gold, but now the brother’s bonus just saves the trouble.
For the rest of the holiday, Allen finally lived the peaceful life he expected before the holiday. In addition to reading a book and relaxing, he was playing with his sister Emily... In such a peaceful state of mind, he secretly took advantage of the family. When they were all there, prepared the secretly mail-ordered white moss and started practicing this phantom transfer type that should only be practiced by students over the age of seventeen-unlike many adult wizards who can't even release the iron armor curse, rarely Someone will not get a Phantom Shift license.
Before returning to school, Alan managed to move himself from the bedside of the bedroom to the other end of the room, but the deviation of the position still made him startled in a cold sweat. He almost got half of himself stuck outside the room. , UU read www.uukahnshu.com so he gave up the risky behavior of continuing to die like a Gryffindor, thinking about waiting for the school to sneak out of the school’s prohibited apparition after returning to Hogwarts, and on a broad ground Continue to complete the exercise.
Later on Christmas Day, Allen received a lot of gifts. To Allen’s surprise, even Miss Know-it gave him a gift-a large box of horseshoe-shaped sugar-free dark chocolates, and a pair of toothbrushes. And toothpaste, seems to be worried that Alan, the pure-blooded wizard, does not understand the use of Muggle products. She also wrote a lot of notes on how to protect teeth and precautions...
Among this pile of gifts, the most intimate is the self-portrait of the little sister Emily; the most serious is the magic book presented by Second Colonn; the most surprising is an owl presented by Albert, one with a cold expression Handsome owl.
Alan named it Benny, and sincerely hopes that it is a smart enough owl, knows how to stay away from a Hufflepuff first-year girl-there are rumors that the girl likes to eat owls, McGonagall Over the Thunder.
As for the gifts Allen sends to others, it is very simple. All the small pockets with the non-marking stretch curse applied. Although the capacity is limited, it is still very stable compared to the products that the senior students cast the constant curse on the bag. Reliable, its price, especially for little wizards, is not cheap.
At this time, in contrast to Allen enjoying the warmth of the family, Harry was lonely indulged in the scene of family reunion illusioned by the magic mirror of Eris. If it were not for Dumbledore’s comfort, Harry’s presence here was false and letting It is estimated that he can't wake up from a happy lie.
　　 No matter what, time is always independent of human will. Allen reluctantly waved goodbye to his relatives and boarded the Hogwarts Express.
