Sword and Magic and Taxi

Mike, what's wrong with you? Didn't you sleep last night? Tolkien was full of energy, while Zhao Mai was yawning nonstop, looking like he was low on energy. Sorry for falling asleep at your place yesterday and occupying your bed. But don't you have another bed? Why do you look like you haven't slept all night?

I did not sleep all night. Zhao Mai rubbed his temples. He used the Holy Grail to read the red blood runes, which caused him to be extremely mentally fatigued, which he had been like since he left the green dream. If there was a pillow now, he felt that he would fall asleep quickly if he lay on it.

How about you stop going to class and have a good rest in the dormitory. I'll tell you if anything happens.

That's okay, thank you. If Professor Dumbledore asks, you can cover it for me and just say that you have read too many books or something. Zhao Mai yawned and held onto Dojian's shoulders and swayed. Said: I'm going back to my room.

You're in your room! Tolkien picked up the wand and shook it lightly, then threw Zhao Mai on the bed. Hey, why are you so tired? He shook his head and walked out. He heard snoring behind him before he went out.

A Duo scratched his head and sat down. If Zhao Mai didn't go to the classroom, he didn't want to go either. Although magic is very interesting, you can also play games with Xiaohua in the room, such as checkers. Duojian walked over gently, covered Zhao Mai with a quilt, then walked to the window and moved a chair to sit down, letting the bright sunshine rarely seen in the UK shine on his face, and then closed his eyes to rest.

This was a dreamless sleep. Zhao Mai removed his mental barrier and breathed in the power of nature without any hindrance, allowing his body to relax most completely. The cursed language he heard in the Stonehenge dream also subtly became his own thing in the dream. He was snoring and muttering magical incantations. Fortunately he didn't have a wand in his hand, otherwise there might have been magic flying around the house.

There was no one to disturb him for the whole morning. Near noon, Zhao Mai woke up on his own and felt quite refreshed. The food reserves were so hungry that they were rolling on the ground begging for food, so Zhao Mai tidied up his appearance and took everyone to the cafeteria to meet his classmates.

What happened in class today? When Zhao Mai and his companions had finished eating nearly half of their meal, Tolkien and his classmates came over. Everyone's face was beaming, and they were obviously very happy.

There is good news, Tolkien said as he sat down: The examination method has been changed. Whether it is the Charms class or the Potions class, it has become a written examination. Then, based on the examination situation, random checks will be conducted if necessary. Deng Professor Bullido said that spot checks will occur when there are insufficient places and two people have the same score. At this time, the actual performance will determine the score and ranking.

This is really good! Zhao Mai almost applauded the idea: Then if the memory is good enough, wouldn't it be possible to directly enter the highest grade? If everyone's grades are improving, more students can be arranged Got it!

Yeah, so everyone is happy and should celebrate this! Tolkien took out a small tin flask from his arms, added some to his pumpkin juice drink, and asked others if they wanted it. Whether they are male students or female students, everyone adds a little more or less to their drinks, and then raises their glasses together: We have to thank Professor Dumbledore for the good things he has fought for us! Let's drink to his health and happiness. .

A night owl with gray feathers and black claws rushed into the cafeteria. Like a dive bomber, it flew down at an almost vertical angle and dropped a letter into Tolkien's arms. It grabbed half of the roast chicken in front of Ado with its claws and turned around. Fly up and fly away with a smile. Hodor... The giant muttered, holding the plate and grabbing another whole chicken.

Tolkien opened the letter and his expression changed drastically after reading a few lines. Zhao Mai winked at Xiaohua, and the red-haired girl stuck out her tongue at Zhao Mai, then flew behind Tolkien to peek. Soon she also frowned: It was a letter from an unknown woman. She said that Edith felt very ill and had a very bad cold. She sent her to the hospital for treatment and found that it was already full. Ask if Which military hospital should you go to? This person calls Edith his daughter, so she must be Tolkien's mother-in-law.

A cold is so severe? Isn't it already there... Oh, no, penicillin will not be discovered for at least ten years. Zhao Mai thought for a while, it is really dangerous these days. If you encounter an infection, the mortality rate will be very high. , not to mention pneumonia or various internal inflammations. He saw that Tolkien had stood up and was about to leave the table when he turned to Zhao Mai and said, Mike, there is something I want to ask you for help with.

That's right, friends should help each other! Zhao Mai smiled and said to him: Tell me, how can I help you?

Can you drive me home? If I wait for the train and then transfer, it may be too slow. Tolkien said: My Edith is ill and the situation does not look promising.

No problem, we're leaving now.

Hey, have you two forgotten that the Ministry of Magic has blocked all entrances and exits, and no one from outside is allowed to come in. Ellerbella was the most enthusiastic and said quickly: If you go out, you may not be able to come back for the exam. This is a very troublesome matter!”

Let's think of a way and go back first. Zhao Mai signaled Tolkien not to say more. Out of caution, he just said: I think the Ministry of Magic is just to prevent Muggles or Muggle items from accidentally breaking in, and it is not locking wizards out. It will be accommodating. Please help us cover it up. Something happened at home. .”

No problem, we all know that family is very important. Ellerbella agreed. When Zhao Mai and Tolkien walked out of the castle, a taxi was already waiting outside. Do you want to tell Dumbledore? Tolkien asked after getting in the car.

Well, I think so too. Professor Dumbledore has always been very kind to the tutors, and I believe he can understand. After Zhao Mai thought about it, he explained to him: There is another reason why we must inform him Sound. Although the exam has become easier, the number of places is still limited. Don’t forget, how many attacks our cram school students have encountered before, and who did it has never been found out. You can guarantee that no one will report to the Ministry of Magic, and Will we not be blocked at the border or even lose the qualification to take the exam? When I was attacked by the stun spell, there were only classmates around and no professors.

We're all classmates, it won't be like this, right? Tolkien rubbed his forehead with his hand: How about I go back alone and you stay. What if...

With me here, there is no such thing as a chance. Zhao Mai said to Tolkien: You just received bad news and you are too nervous, so calm down first. Since you have found me, I will definitely help you. Handle this matter well, this is what friends should do.

Thank you. Tolkien said, Where are we heading?

In Hogsmeade Village, we need to purchase some things, potions, ingredients for dispensing, complete sets of tools, and most importantly, Zhao Mai said: Things that can bring us back, such as floo powder and brooms.
