A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 255 Christmas, Different Experiences

The three returned to the common room all the way, Hermione was very silent, but she had already made up her mind to tell Professor McGonagall about the Firebolt.

Harry received a brand new Firebolt this morning. She has heard Harry repeat the name of this broom more than once. The Firebolt claims to be "the fastest broom in the world". Currently, there is no mass production or quotation , Just thinking about it, you can guess how exaggerated the price is.

Harry described more than once his special training in Diagon Alley, watching the fascinating curve of the Firebolt outside the window of the Quidditch boutique with Professor Haip - this can be regarded as Harry survived the special training One of the sustenance of the soul.

But Hermione thinks that Harry and Ron are not aware of the danger at all. This broom may have been sent anonymously by a dark wizard, and it contains an unknown curse.Especially after the experience of being manipulated by Quirrell on the broom in the first grade, she couldn't understand why Harry was so careless?

'What if it's from Sirius Black? '

It wasn't until Harry took the initiative to talk about the wonderful gift from Professor Hap that Hermione joined the conversation, "The professor gave you a dementor?"

"It's a Dementor doll!" Harry emphasized, "just like the real thing, that sudden chill and bad memory..." He shuddered.

"Didn't you look at the card inside? Maybe there will be instructions on it." Hermione guessed, but she really couldn't think of any use.

Harry shook his head, "I only opened it for a glance, then quickly closed the box... To be honest, I want to change it with Ron." He looked at Ron, and Ron smiled brightly, "Professor Haip sent I have a whole set of comic books."

Harry couldn't help asking Hermione, "What gift did the professor give you?"

"It's a chestnut memory drive," said Hermione.

"Chestnut... what?" said Harry, bewildered.

"It's hard to describe in words, wait, I'll show you. Also, Harry, bring your dementor doll, let's study it together, the professor must have his own intentions."

After 1 minute, they get together again.

Harry looked at the chestnut memory disk in a daze, "This is... a handicraft plate? I saw something similar in the Dursleys, and they gave it to important customers."

"Oh, of course not. I'll demonstrate it to you. Professor Haip hopes that I can make some comments...Maybe it will appear in the class next semester." Hermione said, she tapped the chestnut wooden plate with her wand, and the complicated magic The text pattern was lit up, and the silver fine sand condensed into a cloud. Hermione closed her eyes to recall carefully, and then stretched out her finger to point on the cloud.

The fine sand fell down, and the familiar three-dimensional picture appeared in front of Harry and Ron.

"Merlin's beard, this is - we are in the secret room, the secret room..." Ron's eyes widened.

"A reenactment of our past memories," Hermione whispered.

Harry was also brought back to a year ago by the scene in the chestnut plate, but it was the first time he looked at that experience from another perspective, and he couldn't help asking Hermione: "Did I jump like that?" By comparison, the Slytherin statue is about five or six times as tall as him. If he jumps wrong, he will fall half to death and be eaten by the basilisk without waiting for the basilisk's tail to sweep over.

"We're all pretty brave," Ron said to Hermione awkwardly, looking at "himself" clumsily luring the basilisk. "Well, Hermione—can I try?" Hermione's name was called for the first time since the argument outside the cabin.

Hermione pursed her lips, "Of course. You can choose another memory, the one you have a deeper impression on, and the effect will be better."

Harry was glad they were talking again, because in his experience, Ron and Hermione would have been fighting for a day or two.

"Let me think about it, I'm impressed..." Ron muttered, his wand tapped on the edge of the chestnut plate, and soon, a new three-dimensional picture appeared-the background was quite blurred, and a car could be vaguely seen, It crashed straight into a tall tree, which was a Whomping Willow.

The branches of the Whomping Willow danced wildly, crackling and flapping on the car, like a continuous storm, the car barely rushed out, making two muffled noises, the door slammed open, throwing the salute and the two people—— Harry and Ron.

"Except for the time in the Chamber of Secrets, this is probably the experience that made me feel like I'm going to die the most." Ron looked at the villain on the plate, "But there are still a lot of blurs, I can't remember what the car looked like , I hope it is all right in the Forbidden Forest."

Harry also tried it, "It just so happens that there is something for you to see, what Voldemort really looks like..."

After a while, Ron and Hermione finally saw the scene of Harry facing Voldemort alone in the first grade - Quirrell lifted the garlic-smelling scarf, turned his back to Harry, revealing a dead white face, Under the evil red eyes are two snake-like slender nostrils.

Ron and Hermione gasped, and they grabbed Harry's arm nervously, Harry couldn't help baring his teeth, "Hiss~" he complained, "I told you about it last year. When you listened, you didn't exaggerate so much, did you?"

"That's different, Harry. We were only listening to your description in words, but this time we saw the picture directly." Ron said tremblingly: "He, he is too scary, does the mysterious man have no nose?" His focus is always weird.

Harry almost laughed out loud, but he quickly made himself serious and said as objectively as possible: "Uh...he's really ugly, and I had nightmares for a while."

Then the three looked at the box in front of them, which was a gift from Professor Haip to Harry.

Ron couldn't help but confirm: "Are you really going to open it? The expression on your face when you opened it for the first time almost scared me to death." He explained to Hermione: "Imagine that you are happily opening the present, and then look at it." When my companion suddenly fell off the bed, his face turned pale..."

Harry glanced at Hermione, and Hermione nodded at him, "We definitely need to make sure."

Harry took a deep breath, opened the gift box—

At first glance, it was just a relatively exquisitely shaped dementor doll, which was nothing unusual, but in the next second, a chill swept over the whole body, and the doll seemed to come alive, and the dementor's robe began to flutter. They even saw this A picture: a gray rotting hand protruding from under the black robe, like a corpse soaked in water for a long time...

Harry quickly closed the box before he was suffocated, and he said out of breath, "You all saw it." Ron looked distressed.

"Card," said Hermione suddenly.

"what?"

"Card, Harry, there's a card under the Dementor doll."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and Harry lifted his spirits, "So, we only need to endure it one more time, and then we will know why Professor Haipu gave me this thing?" No matter how you think about it, it is impossible.

But before he confirmed it, he was still worried.

Hermione gave him a blank look, "I don't think so." She took the box and opened a gap slightly, just enough to allow her hand to go in. She fumbled and explained, "The professor will never give out dangerous gifts. ...had it!"

She successfully pulled out a card from the box, and Harry and Ron stared at her blankly, "Hermione, you're so smart."

Hermione waved her hand, "Oh, I just—I just thought about it a little bit more, you guys got into a misunderstanding." She read the content on the card——

"Harry, I heard that you asked Professor Lupine to learn the Patronus Charm, maybe this can help you.

Another: The doll has been enchanted, as long as you don't look at it, it will not be affected. "

She looked at the two of them: "There are only these contents above, and it has been clearly stated."

"Wow, that's cool!" said Ron, "We can try again."

With a deep sigh of relief, Harry nodded and opened the box.The chill hit again, but he immediately closed his eyes, and the horrible cold and wet feeling disappeared very abruptly.He heard Ron's excited voice: "It really works! Just look away."

Harry opened his eyes and watched as Ron kept turning his head back and forth, looking at the dementor doll, then quickly turned to the side, and then back again... His appearance was so funny that Harry finally couldn't help laughing this time laugh it out.

……

Malfoy Manor.

Draco Malfoy was unwrapping his own gift. In the gift box that said "Felix Hemp gave Draco Malfoy", there was a whole set of comic books neatly stacked inside. He didn't know the name of the comic books. No stranger—"The Adventures of Mick the Little Wizard", for a period of time, this book also caused a lot of topics.

His mother, Narcissa Malfoy, walked in. She had blond hair and blue eyes. Narcissa put her hand on Draco's shoulder tenderly, "Draco, we are going to lunch, and your presents are ready to be opened." Is it over, what did Pansy give you?"

Draco muttered, "A dress."

"Oh, our Draco has grown up." Narcissa said with a smile, her eyes fell on the book in Draco's hand: "Whose gift is this, a...a comic book?"

"A professor at the school," Draco said, turning the page.

……

Longbottom House.

The old houses were revived, and the dull tapestries were cleaned to reveal their original golden red.Almost every few steps, you will see a small Christmas tree with brightly colored ribbons hanging on it.

A round-faced boy is trying to hang stringed golden balls on a Christmas tree.

"Gnar, Gnar!" Alice Longbottom called from afar, "your Uncle Algie and Aunt Enne are here."

"Horse, come here right away, Mom!" Neville responded. He stood on tiptoe and spent more than ten seconds finally hanging the ball on the Christmas tree. A fine layer of sweat had already formed on the tip of his nose.

When he turned his head, Alice was standing behind him looking at him peacefully.

"Mom—" Neville blushed, he felt a little ashamed of his behavior just now.

At the dinner table, a large family and relatives sat together, and they enthusiastically celebrated the return of Frank and Alice. In the middle of the meal, Uncle Algie, with thin cheeks and a goatee, said loudly: "Good! Very good!" With two glasses of high spirits, his face was as red as if it was on fire.

He looked at Neville: "Boy, I heard that you have made great progress recently, show me your skills!"

Neville shrank cautiously behind Alice, Alice patted him on the shoulder, Neville stood up, he drew out his wand, the tip of the wand suddenly flashed red, and a spell flew out.

"Silent Curse!" Startled Uncle Algie, he nearly fell over from his chair. "No, Frank, don't help me—I'm not capable at his age!"

Neville scratched his head and smiled foolishly.

……

The Muggle World, London Villas.

"Justin, it's eleven o'clock, the guests will come later, remember the excuse we discussed."

"Know~dao~la~" Justin said with curly hair, he didn't look very happy: "The reason why I didn't go to Eton College was because I was in poor health, so I had to hire a tutor, and I had to go to the air school every year. Fresh place to hang out... Mom, don't you think that's a lame excuse? Every time they see me, I'm alive and kicking."

"Who made our family have a little wizard? I can't go to Eton College. I'm more disappointed than you, but—" Mrs. Finlayry blinked mischievously: "When the guests leave, you can talk to me about going to school." What happened at that time, I still can’t believe that Lockhart is a liar, his book is so beautiful..."

Justin rolled his eyes covertly.

……

Hogwarts, Felix walked out of the office, the usual gorgeous Christmas decorations along the way, the ribbons woven of holly and mistletoe in the corridor pointed to the auditorium far away, and the armor in the castle was polished to shine.

He walked into the auditorium, and the four long wooden tables were moved to the wall, leaving only one table in the middle of the room for a dozen people to eat.Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, Snape, Sprout, and Flitwick are all here.Filch also changed into a worn tuxedo.

"Hope I'm not late," Felix said with a smile.

"Merry Christmas, Felix, I like the wool socks you sent. There are twelve colors in total, and I can change them." Dumbledore said happily: "We are still waiting for the students to come, they may think It's still the usual time, but it's actually a little earlier—”

"We're taking turns telling jokes to pass the time, and it's Severus' turn."

Felix turned his head to look at Snape, who was stern, with resistance written all over his expressionless face.
