Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 106: Christmas holiday

About two weeks after the Daily Prophet announced that Cornelius Fudge would be the next Minister for Magic, the Daily Prophet's quiz rewards were delivered by the Owl Postman.

It was still snowing outside, and the owl postmen swarmed into the auditorium as usual.

Among them, an owl threw the frosted envelope in front of Albert. After a while, another owl threw a heavy-looking animal skin bag on the table in front of Albert, and the dull metallic sound suddenly attracted the attention of others around him.

Albert reached out and picked up the animal skin bag, weighed it twice, and after listening to the crisp sound inside, he guessed what was in the animal skin bag.

He didn't open the hide bag on the spot, but put it in his backpack. Then, pull out the wand and use the Drying Charm to remove the frost from the envelope before opening the envelope and reading the contents.

The letter reads:

Congratulations, Mr. Albert Anderson.

You won 100 Galleons in the "Next Minister of Magic" quiz, please sign for it. —Barnabas Coffey

Note: Do not open the hide bag, which is enchanted, before signing to ensure that Albert himself receives the Galleon.

In the envelope, there is another piece of parchment, which is a magic contract to ensure that the money is signed by Albert himself.

If someone else tries to take money that doesn't belong to him from the animal skin bag, he will get into trouble. As for the trouble, the letter doesn't say. Albert speculates that it may be some kind of curse, or someone A tracking magic that allows them to find the thief who stole the money.

Albert wanted to keep this secret as low-key as possible, but the secret always spreads like wildfire.

Not long after, the entire school knew that he had participated in the Daily Prophet's quiz and won a large sum of Galleons.

As for how much?

No one knows the exact amount. Some say 50 Galleons, some say 100 Galleons, and some guess 200 Galleons. In the end, George couldn't help but tell the truth, which made a bunch of people envious.

Every time someone talks about this, the tone is sour, it will corrode a big hole in the ground.

"Now, everyone calls you "Lucky Albert"." Shanna sat in front of Albert, turned and asked, "How do you feel?"

"Very good, I like this name, and I hope I can continue to be lucky, maybe I can win the grand prize again." Albert said with a smile.

"You can sleep on the table for a while now, maybe you'll be able to dream of winning the jackpot." Shanna couldn't help rolling her eyes.

"My luck has always been good." Albert took out his wand, shook it in front of several people, and continued to flicker: "Mr. Ollivander told me that a wand made of red cedar will give Lucky for the user, my wand is made of red cedar."

"Can red cedar bring luck?" Angelina looked suspicious, obviously not believing what she said.

"There is indeed a saying that wands made of red cedar wood can bring luck to the user, so this kind of wand is very popular with wizards." Katrina looked up and down Able with strange eyes. "Of course, some people think it's pure nonsense."

"Certainly true, I guessed it right with the help of my wand." Albert A pair of my wands really brings a lucky look.

Lee Jordan's face was twitching slightly next to him, and in their memory, that was really what happened. At the time, Albert was "putting the wand upright on the table and letting it fall freely to one side" and then inexplicably decided to put 25 Galleons on Connelly Fudge.

When Fred told everyone about the situation, everyone was stunned and looked like you were **** kidding me.

What the **** is this, and is this the right way to win the jackpot?

However, this matter did not keep everyone discussing for too long, and the Christmas holidays are quietly approaching.

Albert packed his bags and took the school's Thestral carriage down a snow-covered road to Hogsmeade's station.

"What are you doing?" George asked in confusion, he saw Albert was reaching for the front of the carriage.

"Aren't you curious about what is pulling the carriage?" Albert pointed to the snow tunnel, "Don't you see the footprints on the snow?"

"Something is pulling the cart?" All three looked shocked, but the footprints on the snow were the best evidence, invisible horses.

"Thestral." Albert whispered, "It is said that only those who see death can see thestral."

"I've heard of these creatures, they're very unlucky." Lee Jordan tried to pull Albert away from Thestrals and whispered, "I heard that these creatures will bring harm to those who see them. A terrible disaster, a bad omen."

"You think too much, Thestrals are a kind of Pegasus, and the bad reputation has something to do with the dead. Otherwise, do you think Hogwarts would use them to pull carts?" Albert couldn't help but rolled his eyes at Li Jordan. , pulled his luggage into the express train, and prepared to find an unmanned carriage to rest.

Looking at the leaping scenery outside the window, Albert was in a good mood. Along the way, several people ate snacks and chatted about what to do during the Christmas holiday.

When I'm bored, I play Bibi Duo Bean Adventure proposed by Fred. This game is to close your eyes, just pick up a Bibi Duo flavor bean and put it in your mouth to see who is unlucky enough to eat a strange flavor.

Lee Jordan was the most unlucky. He tasted a piece of earth. He once again claimed in front of everyone that he was no longer eating Bibi Dawei beans, which made everyone laugh.

As the train began to pass through the Muggle town, Albert took off his wizarding cloak and put on a Muggle coat. Fortunately, Daisy carefully helped him prepare the coat, otherwise Albert would have forgotten about it.

In the afternoon, the train finally stopped at King's Cross Station,

Everyone was about to leave Platform 9 and 3/4, but was stopped at the ticket gate by a wizened old guard who wouldn't allow too many people to pass at once.

A large group of people emerge from the solid wall at the same time, attracting the attention of the Muggles.

However, the students at Hogwarts attracted the attention of Muggles.

As soon as Albert walked out of the wall, he found a man in disobedient clothes guarding the wall nearby, along with a few people from the Ministry of Magic.

Among them, there was actually a person who used the illusion spell on himself. However, the technique of the illusion spell was not very good, and Albert vaguely captured his position.

Before mastering the Illusionary Charm~IndoMTL.com~ Albert might not have noticed the other party, but he still has some understanding of the Illusionary Charm, and it is not too difficult to find a flaw.

"Bye, Albert!"

"Goodbye, Albert!"

Lee Jordan and Shanna wave goodbye to Albert.

"Goodbye." Albert also waved at them.

"He's there, Mom, and Albert's there!" Nia ran toward here, waving. Albert waved to his family with a smile on his face, then turned to Fred and George: "Goodbye, I'm leaving!"

"Goodbye, my family is here too." Fred pointed not far away, Albert saw the red-haired Weasleys, as well as Fred's brother Ron and sister Ginny.

"What are you looking at?" Nia complained in dissatisfaction.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy you snacks. However, I'll get them to you when I get in the car." Albert reached out and touched Nia's head, but the girl turned her head away.

"Don't touch the lady's head, it's very impolite," Nia complained solemnly.

Herb couldn't help laughing, reaching for Albert's luggage and asking, "How is life at Hogwarts?"

"Not bad, I learned a lot of useful things." Albert said without hesitation.

"Welcome home." Daisy smiled and handed Tom to Albert.

"It's getting heavier," said Albert, weighing Tom's weight.

"Tom spent a few days at his grandfather's house a while ago," Nia whispered. "You know the character of Sansa's grandmother, too."

Albert looked at his fat cat and sighed. Sitting in the back of the car, Albert put Tom on his lap and muttered, "It's time to lose weight."
