Chapter 40: Christmas
In Diagon Alley or Knock Down Alley, unless the compound decoction is brewed or the strength is improved, Ivan is not going to go.
Going there alone is too dangerous for a first-grade little wizard.
Ivan turned around and left. Before leaving, he bought a bottle of deodorant that eliminates the smell of his body. After throwing twelve silver sikes to the old Rick, Ivan left here without nostalgia.
He knew that there must be a place where there must be a boneweed and hemolysin, and that is in Snape's potion storage room...
Although there is a big risk in doing this, Ivan has no other way now.
returned along the same path. Fortunately, the boss of the Honey Duke was entertaining the guests, and Ivan was able to pass through the cellar smoothly.
Coming out of the secret secret tunnel, Ivan went to the responsive house for the first time.
"I want a place to refine potions." Ivan said.
In the next moment, Ivan opened the door of the House of Requests, and he has come to an unfamiliar space, surrounded by many bottles and pots, and a lot of equipment for making potions.
The only thing Ivan felt sorry for was that the cabinets and bottles used to store potions were empty, not even the most basic herbs.
"There is a room for all requests, and sure enough, there are restrictions." Ivan said disappointed, originally he wanted to try if he could prostitute some potion materials for nothing.
Ivan found a cabinet and stored all the purchased materials in it, so that he can take it directly when making potions later, leaving only the deodorant that can eliminate his own odor.
After doing all this, Ivan turned and left without nostalgia. On the way, sharp-eyed Ivan also happened to see the sneaky Chino wandering on the fourth floor.
Ivan's heart moved, and he took out the map to confirm the location of Snape and the other professors and principals. A plan suddenly appeared in Ivan's mind.
......
In the next few weeks, Ivan watched Snape's movements on the Live Point map and occasionally looked at Chino's. Unknowingly, the time had come to Christmas.
As December entered, the weather became more and more cold, and a few days before Christmas, there was a heavy snowfall of goose feathers. When Ivan woke up in the morning, he found that the outside was covered with a thick layer of snow. Harry and Ron even shivered with cold, and had to add a few more sweaters to the large wizard robe.
Ivan took the two of them to the fireplace in the lounge to cook a fire, and used the Transfiguration Curse to create transparent windshields to block the ventilation openings, so that the whole lounge could be warmer.
But this has suffered the owls who delivered letters. Several of them directly hit the side windshield. A large number of envelopes were scattered all over the floor. Ivan went to the window and removed the windshield.
Outside the window, poor Chino was being hit by a bunch of magical snowballs. Ivan even saw one of the snowballs that looked very solid and hit the back of Chino's head very accurately. Ivan couldn't help but Sweat for the Weasley brothers.
It is estimated that these two guys dare to spoof Chino this way, I don’t know if this is the pinnacle of their lives...
In the afternoon, Ivan and Harry and the others finished the last potions class. The whole Hogwarts was boiling, because tomorrow is their long-awaited holiday, and more importantly, they can finally Go home!
However, Ivan is not happy at all, because he doesn't want to go back at all. At least it is safer to stay in school until he can figure out his memory.
So when Professor McGonagall came to register the student list, Ivan did not hesitate to sign it, and Harry did the same.
"Ivan, are you not going to go back?" Harry asked strangely.
"Well, how can I feel at home in school at home." Ivan replied with a smile.
Harry seemed to have found sympathy with Ivan. He even wanted to stay at Hogwarts forever instead of returning to his so-called uncle's house.
What makes Harry even more happy is that the Ron and Weasley brothers will also stay, because their parents are going to Romania to visit Charlie this year.
The only pity that Harry felt was that Hermione had to go home, otherwise this Christmas would be perfect...
Ivan, Harry, and Ron were blocked by Malfoy on the way back after signing the agreement to stay in school.
"Huh? Look what I found? A few kids who no one wants to stay in school," Malfoy yelled at Harry exaggeratedly, then turned to Ron.
"And Weasley, your mother must think that she gave birth to too much so she doesn't want you..."
"Malfoy!" Ron rushed up angrily with a punch. Malfoy drew out his wand and wanted to cast a counterattack. His two followers, Bancrab and Gore, also surrounded him.
Faster than them, Ivan took Malfoy’s wand directly with a disarming spell. The remaining two silly big men who only use fists, Ivan’s two leg-locking spells made them fall To the ground.
Malfoy, who had lost the ability to resist, had to take Ron's right uppercut head-on.
Ron still wanted to keep doing it, but an invisible barrier appeared in front of Malfoy to block Ron's fist Snape stepped down the stairs with a stern face. Randomly waving the magic wand dispelled the magic of Crabbe and Gore, and then looked at Ivan and others.
"Assault classmates on campus, wanton abuse of magic, Gryffindor was deducted 10 points!"
"Professor, it's Malfoy..." Harry wanted to argue, but unexpectedly Snape spoke again.
"Fifteen points are deducted now!"
Ivan stopped Harry and Ron who were about to continue speaking. Judging from the fact that Snape waved his wand and dispelled his magic, it was not enough for the three of them to go together.
Since he couldn't beat it, Snape was a professor again, and he would suffer no matter how much...
Snape didn't embarrass Ivan and the others anymore, after a slightly disappointed glance at Malfoy, he turned straight and left.
Malfoy got up from the ground angrily, stared at Crabbe and Gore, who were easily resolved by Ivan, followed behind Snape, and walked proudly from the side of the three, but their faces were a little swollen. ...
"Snape simply deliberately had trouble with us, asking me to say that Harry had a problem with your broom last time. Snape must have done it!" Ron dissatisfied.
"At the end of this semester, Snape has deducted nearly 100% of our Gryffindor." Harry also nodded, agreeing with Ron's statement. Compared with Professor Chino, who is harmless to humans and animals, Nep is more likely.
Ivan didn't help Snape to explain again this time, because Snape was too capable of pulling hatred, even he was a little dissatisfied with Snape.
But that’s okay. Ivan was still a little bit resistant to sneaking into Snape’s potion storage room and stealing the Boneweed, but now he doesn’t think so much anymore...
What is missing is just an opportunity.
