Hogwarts Archmage

Dear brother:

Since you haven't come to the cafeteria for a long time, and today is an important day to brew a special potion, I don't have time to go to your place, so I can only send you this letter.

I will be moving in with you after Christmas dinner (tomorrow morning) until the end of the holidays, which I hope will not disturb you - and your Miss Coleman.

Another: I prepared a small Christmas gift for Esther, but because I didn’t calculate the time well, I can’t bring it to her until tomorrow. Please say sorry to her on my behalf.

Love you forever sister: Margaret

Marn handed the letter in his hand to Esther and said: "Pack out your original room. Hermione is not here, and the guest room door on the first floor is inconvenient to open. That room is the only one left with a sunny view." room."

Esther glanced at the letter and put it away, nodded and said, "I'll pack it up later. In fact, there isn't much, just a few clothes, and most of them have been moved to this room long ago."

After the two of them agreed, Esther went downstairs to get food. Ever since Esther moved here completely, except for breakfast, they were basically insulated from the canteen.

It's not that Esther's cooking skills are very good. In fact, house elves cook better than most Muggle professional chefs. She just simply likes the feeling of two people sitting in a room of their own to dine. , Ma En naturally has no objection.

His tongue is relatively rough and he has only a basic understanding of food. As long as the food is almost the same and the meat and vegetables are properly mixed, everything he eats will be the same.

He prefers planting to eating. He still doesn’t have any flowers planted in several flower beds in the yard. He has already used them as vegetable plots. He even turned two of them into glass greenhouses.

A piece of land was also opened up in the open space around the yard to grow food, which was full of the breath of life. Of course, planting and harvesting all depended on magic. With Ma En's "diligence", it was impossible to experience life personally.

Every time Walder comes here and looks at an exquisite courtyard, he can't help but shake his head and sigh when he makes it look like this.

Others didn't think much of it. Esther enjoyed it, Hermione turned a deaf ear to what was going on outside the window, and Professor Sprout, who also owned land by the Black Lake, gave him some guidance on what fertilizer to use.

There was a dinner party in the evening. Although Ma En didn't know why the wizarding world celebrated such a festival, it did not prevent him from joining in the fun with everyone.

After finishing lunch and packing up everything, it was still very early. The two of them went to the auditorium together to see what they could do.

As soon as they walked in and asked a few words, Esther was dragged by Professor McGonagall to arrange the ribbons. Marn stood there and thought about it, grabbed the candles in the auditorium, formed them into representative animals of each college, and threw them above the auditorium. , added another fire, and the whole auditorium instantly became a lot brighter.

I originally wanted to do it according to the color, but... Slytherin's place is green like a vegetable field, Ravenclaw's blue is like a ghost, Gryffindor seems to be on fire, and Hufflepuff seems to be experiencing a sandstorm...

He just let the light flash for a moment and then gave up, turning it into a light similar to that emitted by an incandescent lamp.

"Well done, Mr. Langley, but I think the color you flashed just now is better." The short Professor Flitwick swayed over.

"Forgive me, Professor. It's okay to do that to the people sitting below. At most, it makes your eyes feel a little uncomfortable, but looking down from the top is like looking at a dirty drain."

"Well…"

Seeing that there was nothing else to do, and Esther was busy playing with ribbons and had no time to pay attention to him, Marn suddenly felt a little idle. After thinking about it, he simply ran to see what Harry and Ron were busy with.

Facts have proved that Miss Granger's belief before leaving that these two people would be very busy was overthinking.

In fact, as soon as Hermione left, the two of them became nothing more than nothing. Their main job was to have fun in the lounge and dormitory, and everything about Nicolas Flamel and Snape was completely forgotten.

Ma En has already imagined a few people playing card games in the past two days.

Harry and Ron were playing wizard chess. Ron's chess seemed to be very new. While playing chess, he was bragging to Harry about how useful his new set of chess pieces was. It seemed that he liked the gift he gave him. satisfy.

Harry opposite was also holding a new set, not Simon's set. Marn thought of Esther sending the chess pieces, and gave the two people a strange look. Is this fate?

"Hey, buddy, we can go to your place to play in the middle of the night!" Harry said excitedly.

"Believe me, if each of you is deducted another 50 points, Professor McGonagall will not let you go easily."

"No, Marne, you have no idea what gift I received."

"?"

"You'll know later, so I won't tell you yet."

Looks like the invisibility cloak has arrived... Ma En thought.

He found a more comfortable corner to sit on the sofa in the lounge. He hadn't been here for a long time and there were a lot fewer people there. Of course, it was because of the holiday.

"I advise you to calm down a little. The points you were deducted are not easy to make up for, but it is not your own credit." Ma En thought for a while: "Maybe there is still a little bit, the Weasley family has raised him for so long. .”

"Don't mention it..." Ron drew a length with his finger: "After the accident, my mother sent me such a thick letter to express how scared she was, and it wasn't just me, Percy, Fred and George I have received them all, and I even suspect that she has used up all the parchment paper in our house, because some of the papers in the pile of letters from Bo Xi are particularly soft, as if they were newly bought."

"Sad news."

"There are sadder ones."

"what?"

"Arthur has been suspended by the Ministry of Magic for investigation. They think he may be related to the Death Eaters. The efficiency of the Ministry of Magic... I understand."

Ma En frowned, thinking hard about the increasingly vague plot of the story. It seems that there is no such part, right?

After thinking about it for a long time, he didn't think of it, so he simply threw it aside and asked, "Then what should you do? Ginny will also enroll in school next year, right?"

Ron shrugged his shoulders, "He has been helping Professor Walder recently. I don't know what he is doing. He seems to have signed some agreement. His salary is much higher than before. I heard that Professor Walder intends to support him in returning to the Ministry of Magic. But what happens in the future...who knows.”

Walder?What bad idea is this old man holding back?Ma En subconsciously felt that there was something wrong with this matter. Including Arthur's suspension, maybe it was all caused by Walder. Otherwise, he was not familiar with it, how could he have contacted him as soon as he was suspended? Woolen cloth?

And even though they have been together for so many years and can be called relatives, Marn still feels that he does not understand him. Wald can't find his name in any book, but with the old man's ability, this matter It's simply impossible.

He had never doubted whether the old man was the Austrian one, but all the evidence showed that he was not, so who was he?
