Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 252: Another Christmas Eve

Snowflakes are fluttering outside the window and falling on the frozen glass. Christmas is approaching, and the busy Anderson family is preparing for Christmas Eve.

The classic European and American Christmas song "WhiteChristmas" floated in the living room. With the help of Grandpa Luke, Nia tried to hang the biggest star on the top of the Christmas tree. Shanna and Daisy were in the The kitchen is busy with today's meals and desserts, and Albert and Herb are bringing plates of delicious food to the table.

The dinner was spent with laughter and songs, the Christmas Eve program was on TV, and there was a lot of food left on the table, especially the famous Christmas roast turkey.

People don't like this kind of food, no way, turkey meat is actually not very delicious.

However, this dish is included in the Christmas dinner every year, and everyone eats some. It is not determined by whether it is good or not. It is a tradition to eat roast turkey at Christmas. Yes, they eat it. is traditional.

In contrast, Christmas pudding and Christmas cake after dinner are more popular.

Albert is enjoying a glass of steaming red wine. The first sip of this wine is really normal, but the more you drink it, the better it tastes, and the more you drink, the warmer your body is. It is very suitable for drinking in snowy weather .

As a member of the family, fat cat Tom also has his own dinner party, a large piece of special salmon, grilled fish is obviously more able to arouse Tom's appetite than canned cat food. By the way, this guy is still showing signs of gaining weight lately.

Now, a well-fed Tom is lying on the sofa letting Albert brush him.

"Do vampires really exist in this world?" Nia asked Albert curiously after listening to Luke reading the story of "Traveling with Vampires" aloud.

"There should be. However, I haven't seen it before. If you encounter one, you'd better stay away from them, regardless of whether the vampire has good intentions or not." Albert retrieved Tom, who was about to slip away, and lightly tapped his fingers. Playing with cat ears.

"Lockhart is brave." Nia somewhat admires the hero of the book.

"In fiction, Lockhart is really brave, but you need to distinguish between fiction and reality. After all, 99 percent of this stuff is fiction." Albert winked at Nia He blinked and reminded: "It's like a fairy tale, it's all lies!"

"Disgusting, don't spoil the atmosphere." Nia couldn't help protesting, "Is Hogwarts fun? Our school is so boring, the students there feel a little silly, and the boys also like to be handsome, obviously A bunch of idiots."

"You can't say that to others." Herb educated: "You will think so, it must be because you are smarter than them." He happily raised the corners of his mouth, very satisfied with his children, yes, Very satisfied.

"They are really stupid." Nia flattened her mouth and complained: "They always like to talk about some messy things, obviously they are a bunch of idiots who don't understand anything."

“Don’t make yourself look maverick, you should learn to protect yourself,” Albert reminded kindly.

"I can practice karate or taekwondo," Nia said, waving her fists. "If anyone dares to bully me, beat them down like Albert did."

"Don't be so violent, girls." Daisy looked at her son slightly dissatisfied, blaming him for setting a bad example for Nia.

"Cough, I think it's good to learn some self-defense techniques, at least to protect yourself from being bullied." Albert coughed lightly and quickly changed the subject, "By the way, I made a talisman for you, It's your Christmas present."

"You should give it to me at Christmas." Nia looked at the small ornaments and asked curiously, "Is this the legendary unicorn? However, it is so small."

"Because it's a pendant, a talisman," Albert explained.

"Does it work?" Herb was more curious about the effect of the amulet, he knew that Albert would cast magic on some small things.

"Just treat it as an ornament like a cross, and don't you think this thing is very delicate?" Albert reminded, "It also takes a lot of time to carve this thing."

"By the way, we don't know when you learned to carve."

"I learned it in school."

"Hogwarts still teaches this?" Herb was very surprised.

"No teaching. However, you can teach yourself." Albert explained helplessly.

"Send a wooden sculpture to the girl you like, and maybe you will receive an unexpected surprise!" Herb seemed to remember something, and suddenly said, "I remember that you have always been popular."

"Is there?" Albert's face twitched slightly, and he didn't know what to say.

"It would be great if I could receive an invitation to Hogwarts next year." Nia whispered, "In this way, I will be able to go to Hogwarts."

"Even if you can't go, after I graduate, I can take you to see the magical world." Albert comforted softly: "However, if you are not a wizard, it is best not to miss the magical world too much, then It's not a good idea, and ordinary people have ordinary people's happiness."

“Remember computers?”

"Know some." Nia nodded.

"In a few years, electronic products will become more and more developed, and mobile phones and computers will become more and more developed, and the next will be the age of electronics." Albert explained softly: "The magic world is here. It's a lot worse, magic seems to interfere with electrical appliances, so the technology in the magic world is actually quite backward~IndoMTL.com~ I only know the magic-modified radio."

"The wizarding world still uses very old-fashioned records. After I graduate, I will also get a house of my own here."

"I thought you were going to live in the wizarding world!" Daisy looked very happy. She didn't want her son to live in the wizarding world. If she suddenly disappeared without contact for ten or twenty years, she would definitely Can't stand it.

"Are you going to work here?" Herb asked suddenly.

"No, actually with magic, it becomes very easy to make money, such as buying a lottery and winning the jackpot." Albert winked at Herb and said with a smile, "One of the wizards This profession is called a fortune teller, a powerful fortune teller can predict part of the future, and naturally can predict the lottery winning numbers.”

At this moment, the Anderson family looked at each other in dismay, never expecting that Albert would say such a thing.

Get rich by winning the lottery?

"Son, I thought you would continue to think about financial matters." Herb's expression became even more eccentric. He didn't want his son to use magic to do illegal things, although he didn't know whether winning the lottery was illegal.

Heb never doubted Albert's ability, and maybe one day his son suddenly won a million-dollar jackpot.

"Okay, I was just joking, the lottery is indeed the fastest to get money, but prophecy usually requires talent in this area, and becoming a good fortune teller is not just about hard work. "Albert explained jokingly, "I only use runes for divination now."

"Are you sure?" Nia seemed interested in divination.

"I don't know." Albert said uncertainly, "I'm just getting started, so it shouldn't be too accurate."

"Try to help me with divination first."
