As time passed quickly, the first half of the semester was finally over, and the entire castle seemed to be enveloped in silence as thick as snow on the ground.

During this period, just as Lin Xiao had thought, no more accidents happened, but even this could not stop the little wizards from feeling insecure. They were afraid that they would be the next ones sent to the school doctor's office, which led to a big disaster. Some students are rushing to book seats on the Hogwarts Express before the holidays, looking forward to returning home for a peaceful Christmas.

Many interesting things happened during this period. For example, every time Fred and George ran in front of Harry in the corridor, walked with their heads held high, and shouted: "Make way for the heir of Slytherin, the most evil wizard is coming..." …”

Fred told Lin Xiao that they thought it was very interesting, especially when they saw some first-year wizards leaving quickly after hearing this, as if they were afraid that Harry would grow fangs at them at any time and spray out... Like poisonous juice.

Percy was very dissatisfied with this behavior of the two brothers.

"This is not a joke," he said coldly.

"Hey, get out of the way, Percy," Fred said, pretending to be serious, "Harry is pressed for time."

"Yes, he is going to the secret room to drink tea with his fanged servant." George laughed.

Harry didn't care, at least he was relieved that Fred and George thought the idea of ​​him being the heir of Slytherin was ridiculous.

Unlike others who saw him as if they saw a ghost, he was glad that most students chose to leave school this time. He hated others pointing fingers at him and secretly talking about him behind his back.

But what Harry didn't know was that the Fred brothers' antics seemed to irritate Draco Malfoy even more, and his face grew uglier every time he saw them doing it.

......

Lin Xiao once again chose to apply for stay in school. He planned to use his vacation time to go to Knockturn Alley. But what was surprising was that Hermione, who did not need to brew polyjuice potion, also chose to stay in school.

Harry on the other side does not feel dull, but feels very peaceful. He feels very happy when he thinks that he can choose to stay in school every Christmas, which means that he will not see Dudley greeting him every Christmas. Showing off all the Christmas gifts and the Dursleys he hated.

At school they could play crackle cards loudly without getting in the way of anyone, and practice duels in secret.Fred, George and Ginny decided to stay at school rather than go to Egypt with the Weasleys to see Bill.

Percy shrugged off their childish behavior and rarely spent time in the Gryffindor common room.He had proudly told them that he was staying over Christmas only because it was his duty, as a prefect, to support teachers during this turbulent time.

The dawn of Christmas has arrived, the weather is gradually getting colder, and the outside of the college is also white.

Lin Xiao, who got up early in the dormitory, used the Disguise Charm and arrived at a remote place in Knockturn Alley in a blink of an eye. Then he quietly went to an antique store at No. 13B Knockturn Alley - Bojin-Bock.

It is run by Mr. Bocking and Mr. Bok.

They often deal with those unusual ancient wizarding artifacts, and due to the sinister intentions of those cunning customers and the greedy nature of the store owner himself for money, this store once handled a lot of gray business.

There are even dark magic or other dangerous items for sale: Hands of Glory, various human bones, a pack of blood-stained playing cards, a glass eyeball, a rusty tooth-like instrument, a stick A noose, a cursed necklace, and a hideous mask on the wall...

At this time, the shop owner, Mr. Bo Jin, was bored and dozing off at the counter. You must know that his business here is also divided into off-season and peak season.

In the off-season, when we usually do business, there will still be a few wizards coming, but most of them are dark wizards or smugglers and other shady professions.

The peak season is when the Ministry of Magic searches for prohibited items. Most pure-blood families come here to selectively sell some prohibited items. Mr. Lucius Malfoy is his big customer and has sold his items many times. Sold to Mr. Borgin to avoid the inconvenience caused to him by the Ministry of Magic. The most recent time was during the summer vacation of Lin Xiao's first grade.

After using the Boundary Pearl to stabilize his breath, Lin Xiao directly turned his attention to the shelves further inside.

He quietly walked through the dark-looking corridor. On the shelves were various parts taken from some magical animals, but they were all very common. Below were some bottles and jars with stickers on them. Labels for various potions, but prices must be negotiated.

Lin Xiao knew it was an old vampire at first glance!

He knew that the things he needed might be here, or hidden somewhere. After searching around this row of shelves several times, he set his sights on the bottom of the next few rows of shelves and squatted down quietly. He came down and carefully touched inside. After 10 minutes, he finally found it. He cursed in his heart why it was hidden so deep.

After releasing a sound-isolating spell, he pressed the small mechanism just discovered under one of the shelves, and a small box that perfectly integrated with the wooden shelf popped out. Inside was a bottle of just the right size, containing a silver stick. Lin Xiao took out the white hair and looked at the label on it - unicorn tail hair.

Adhering to the principle of taking nothing for nothing, I put it into the storage space.

After that, he also gained a lot, but he didn't see the tail feathers of the thunderbird. But he found so many other wand cores and precious potion materials, why there were none? Lin Xiao was puzzled!

Is it because Thunderbirds are too rare?But it had already appeared once 40 years ago, and he didn't believe that those poachers didn't dare to take risks...

Anyway, he knew that Mr. Ollivander would definitely collect such rare materials, so the owner of this store would definitely have some special channels. He touched his chin and searched under the shelf three times.

Suddenly, he noticed a faint breath of magic, and looked at the floor under his feet thoughtfully. This must be too subtle. With so many protective spells, what exactly is hidden!

Could it be some prohibited items!Maybe there would be something he wanted inside. Lin Xiao first raised his head and glanced at Mr. Bo Jin, who was not aware of it at all. He secretly thought to himself that it was lucky that he was hidden far away, otherwise it would have been very troublesome!

He carefully placed the wand where the breath was exposed, and directly cast a curse, followed by a breath that was tightly locked in the space around him and did not spread out. It was obvious that Mr. Borgin or Mr. Burke must have A lot of efforts were made to seal this aura, and Lin Xiao was able to detect it through his sensitivity to magic power fluctuations. He estimated that Dumbledore would have to search for a long time to find this aura when he came.

After waiting for a short while, his breath gradually calmed down. He carefully opened one of the floors and saw seven vials of blood, a small pile of silver tail feathers, a wand, and a book inside. Very worn looking notes.

Without any hesitation, he put them all into a small corner of the storage space with a wave of his hand.

Then he restored the "crime scene" to its original state and left, secretly thinking that Mr. Borgin and Mr. Bork had collected a lot of good things. He very much looked forward to another rich harvest the next time he came here to enjoy the autumn breeze!

Hope Mr. Borgin doesn't mind!
