A lot of people chose to stay at Hogwarts this year. Although Halloween has been two months, what happened that day is still vivid in their minds.
Percy Weasley has recovered, but he seems to have lost a memory. He simply cannot remember what he did. According to the diagnostic report given by Madam Pomfrey, Percy's memory has been modified, but Rumors are saying that Percy is controlled by the Imperius Curse.
Because just after Halloween, in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Grindelwald gave a lesson on the Imperius Curse to students in fifth grade and above.
According to his description, although the Soul Seizing Curse is a magic that is difficult to detect, it is not irresistible. The definition of the three unforgivable curses is that there is no corresponding breaking spell to target it, but it is not irresistible.
As long as you wear an alchemical prop that solidifies the mechanized mind, it will be difficult for the Imperius Curse to affect people. After the Imperius Curse triggers the magic of mechanized mind, the wizard will enter a state of pure rationality that is absolutely cold and absolutely rational. , and in this state, it is not too easy to get rid of the influence of the soul-stealing curse.
And this magic that the young wizards of Hogwarts have never seen before comes from the invention of the saints. It is outside Hogwarts, or outside the wizarding world of England, in the territory controlled by the Grindelwald Witches. Their place The 'vitality' of magic is obviously more vigorous than that of the conservative magic world. Many very useful new spells appear every year, which is rare in the conservative magic world.
But all this has nothing to do with Harry for the time being. After four months away from home, Harry felt homesick. He missed his home at No. 4 Privet Drive, his aunt, uncle, and good brother Dudley.
"I wonder if Dudley will have any changes this time when he returns."
Throwing the black dragon skin backpack over his shoulder, Harry walked out of the gate of Hogwarts and set foot on the road to Hogsmeade Station with other young wizards who were also going home. At the school gate, Hagrid was cheerful Waved to them, the carriage covered with snowflakes was ready, waiting for the arrival of the little wizards.
"See you next year, Hagrid!"
Harry shouted at Hagrid, waving his hands, and the giant watched him drift away, then disappeared among the flying snowflakes.
The scarlet car body of the Hogwarts Express is particularly conspicuous on the snow-covered station. From time to time, the chimney at the front of the train spits out a smoke dragon made of white gas. When you open the door of the box, you can feel the warmth after the wind and snow are isolated. The carriage in the carriage made people groan. The cumbersome and heavy coat was hung on the hook. Harry stretched and stretched his body.
"When will I get the thermostatic coat I ordered? Mrs. Malkin's delivery is really slow."
Harry opened the birdcage and reached out to tease Hedwig. Hedwig, who had grown up again, was more powerful than before, but when she was around Harry, Hedwig seemed a little clingy.
"Can I touch your bird?"
A crisp voice sounded, and the door of the box was opened. Hermione smiled and waved to him from the side, but it was not her who made the sound just now.
"Oh, hello there."
Harry nodded to the people coming at the door and invited them to sit down.
"This is Cho Chang, a second year Ravenclaw student."
"Of course, I know her, Hermione. Cho is Ravenclaw's Reserve Seeker, of course I know her."
They were all acquaintances, so Harry was naturally very relaxed. Qiu joined his group, and she was considered one of his own.
"Hey, Captain, I didn't expect you to really remember me."
Qiu, who knew her little transparent identity very well, still had a little surprise on her face. She had not been on the field yet, and her meeting with Harry was limited to the day the war group was established.
"There are less than forty people in the whole group. Why can't I remember it?"
"Here, Hedwig, if your sister wants to pet you, why don't you go there with a mouse piece in her mouth to look cute?"
However, Hedwig lazily turned her head, raised her wings and slapped Harry in disgust, her smart white eyes seemed to say, 'Don't you know that same-sex repels? I'm a girl too'.
Seeing this scene, the two girls on the side laughed out loud. Hedwig's little expression just now was really amazing.
"Forget it, you can play by yourself, the snacks are enough for today."
Grabbing a handful of rat pieces and placing them in front of Hedwig, Harry rubbed its furry, round little head.
"Where do you want to go for Christmas, Harry?"
Hermione asked Harry after the train slowly started to move.
"I don't have any plans for this. I should just exercise at home honestly, and then go to the river to have a look. If it doesn't freeze, I will go for winter swimming."
"Snowy days are not good. You can't go rock climbing. It's not good for hunting. There doesn't seem to be much to do except watching the snow."
Harry, who was helpless at this, shrugged, "What about you, where are you going?"
"Maybe it's the same as you, but it would be nice to be home for Christmas. I miss my parents."
The journey with two pretty girls naturally passed by very quickly, but this should be attributed more to the Hogwarts Express, although on the day they were sent to Hogwarts for the start of school, the Hogwarts Express I wrote my name upside down, but today, the original seven-eight-hour drive was directly compressed to one-fifth, showing the truly fast steam locomotive roaring all the way. Before noon, they had already arrived at King Stations of the Cross.
On Christmas Eve, there were especially many Muggles in the station. The students who went home were inconspicuous among the crowd. After saying goodbye to Hermione and Cho Chang, Harry walked towards the parking lot. As soon as he reached the entrance, a solid bullet hit him.
"Hey, brother!"
Dudley seemed to want to use a bear hug to murder Harry in his thick down jacket, but how could this possibly make Harry fall for it?
Naturally, Harry couldn't master the highest skill in martial arts, the "receiving and transforming hair". He could use it to counteract the attack, but he was quite skilled in it.
Dudley, who had taken advantage of his height to pick up onions on a dry land and picked him up, kicked his feet, and his ribs that began to crack seemed to express his excitement at the meeting.
"The food at Hogwarts is so good..."
Dudley, who was rubbing his ribs, said dully, "Why are you so strong again?"
"Hehehe~ Magic is somewhat powerful."
"This year's Christmas gift will definitely be exciting. I made it for you with my own hands. It will definitely exceed your imagination!"
"You won't know what I've prepared for you! You'll be surprised when the time comes, Harry!"
The two of them, arm-in-arm, happily got into Uncle Vernon's car. On the way home, Aunt Petunia kept talking for a long time, and kept saying that Harry had lost weight. Dudley kept rolling his eyes in frustration.
"Mom! Harry's muscles are almost reaching his head, so stop talking."
"What do you know!"
After receiving a violent shudder from his mother, Dudley covered his head and pretended to be aggrieved, but unfortunately no one could be deceived.
At the Christmas Eve dinner, Aunt Petunia tried her best to prepare a table full of sumptuous dishes. There was not a single British dish in sight. This loving dinner made Harry roll his eyes a little. It was time to go home. Okay, but it’s easy to gain three pounds in one meal when you get home.
It was just dawn, and Harry, who had been awakened by his biological clock, opened his eyes. The tearing sound coming from the bedroom next door told him that Dudley had gotten up earlier than him today. At the end of his bed, there was a large pile of packaged goods. The boxes were piled densely, there were at least seventy or eighty of them, and more than half of them were from Hogwarts.
"You didn't expect me to be quite popular?"
After a cursory glance, almost all the members who joined the group gave him a Christmas gift. This was a good start, at least they all recognized themselves as the group leader.
"It seems that it is worth ordering a Nimbus 2000 for each of them, but the test of loyalty must continue. I can't copy the Emperor's tricks, but I can copy the Wizards' Party, Professor Grindelwald It’s honest and generous, and it’s not private at all.”
After muttering for a while, Harry found Dudley's Christmas gift among the gifts. It was an unusually thin envelope. After he tore it open, there were only a few pieces of paper inside.
It reads:
Dear Mr. Harry Potter, we warmly invite you to participate in this winter hunting competition. Due to the impact of climate warming, the winter temperature in some parts of the Soviet Union has increased by 14 degrees Celsius compared with previous years. A large number of brown bears have failed to enter hibernation or Ending hibernation early also causes them to be more aggressive than usual.
We will hold a winter hunting competition in the Omsk region, 2,000 kilometers east of Moscow, to curb the damage caused by wild brown bears in the area.
.......
Before Harry could finish reading the whole letter, after knocking on the door twice, Dudley pushed the door open and entered in a hurry.
"Harry! Will drinking this make me gain muscle? Is it true? Is magic so amazing? No wonder you become stronger so fast!"
After the machine gun-like words came out, Dudley, whose face was red with excitement, slapped Harry on the shoulder. In an instant, his shoulder lost consciousness.
"Are you a bear? Can a person slap you so hard?"
Harry grinned and cursed Dudley.
"Hey~hehe!" Dudley, who didn't feel embarrassed at all, grinned, "I'm just excited. What's wrong with getting stronger when I'm excited?"
"By the way, is this medicine real? Does it work?"
Seeing how excited Dudley looked, Harry tried hard not to let the corners of his mouth rise.
"Yes, of course it works, but I just researched this thing, so I just drank one bottle, otherwise I would definitely slap you to death, you idiot."
"Remember, drink one bottle a week, and there will be enough for you to drink for four months, when I come back from summer vacation."
Dudley nodded sharply and immediately unscrewed a glass bottle and poured the potion into it. But after he drank the potion, he rubbed Harry in front of him and covered him. Q.
"Don't spit it out! Swallow it!"
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!!!"
Dudley's eyes were filled with bloodshot eyes as he struggled frantically on the spot, and the indescribable taste that exploded in his mouth made him feel like he was flying to the sky at this moment.
"Do you think there is no price to pay for becoming stronger?" Harry, whose arms had bulging veins, smiled sinisterly, "War Pharmacy! You have to enjoy the product that I finally came up with after four months of hard work. My dear cousin!"
"Jiejiejiejie~~~~"
"Hahahahaha!!!"
"Shit, Dudley! This is your great brother's love for you!"
