The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts - Vol 4 Chapter 148

Looking at the fireworks outside, Hermione was very moved. This was the first time in her life that someone had set off fireworks for her, and the fireworks had her name on it.

She was not the only one who was moved, and the whole Hogwarts shook.

Has the little wizard at Hogwarts ever seen this? ! It’s almost as if someone in college had placed candles and played a guitar under the girls’ dormitory. The sober little wizard ran to the window, not forgetting to wake up his sleeping friend to watch the fun together.

However, due to the limited location of the lounge, only the little wizards of Ravenclaw and Gryffindor House saw this visual feast. For the little wizards of Slytherin and Hufflepuff, even if they feel it, they can’t see the situation first-hand.

As for going out to the lounge to see? They don’t have the courage yet.

However, after being touched for a short time, Hermione looked at her own name in the sky and was a little embarrassed.

To be honest, Tom’s operation was a bit earthy and overbearing… Hermione’s whole face was flushed red, and her skin was as red as if she was about to bleed. When she heard footsteps from the bedroom, Miss Granger fell into a panic.

Is she going to respond? !

Hermione was caught in a dilemma.

But she was relieved quickly: she was already with him anyway, so what was the promise to be his dance partner?

After thinking about it, Hermione immediately walked to the window, pushed open the window and shouted: “I agree!”

Her voice was not so loud that the students in Gryffindor Tower could not hear her clearly, but the students in Ravenclaw Tower and Tom on the lawn could hear her clearly.

Tom showed a smile and pointed to a pile of boxes beside him. The fireworks and firecrackers in the boxes set off by themselves.

At a time, hundreds of splendid streamers streaked across the sky, reflecting the entire night sky as if it had experienced a meteor shower.

All the students who saw this scene were dumbfounded. Even Durmstrang’s students on the big ship and Beauxbatons who lived on the edge of the Forbidden Forest heard the movement and stuck their heads out to witness the grand scene with the Hogwarts students.

“Tom, would you like to go to Mr. Filch’s confinement room with me?” At some point, Dumbledore appeared behind Tom in a nightgown with a kind smile.

Obviously, Dumbledore could not bear Tom’s blatant violation of school rules. He did owe Tom and Hermione something, but he wouldn’t just give in and indulge.

In Tom’s horrified eyes, he counted the school rules that Tom violated with his fingers.

“Going out during curfew time, setting off…firecrackers, making a loud noise at night…do you have anything else to add?”

For his “crime”, Tom confessed.

“Very good, then come with me.” Dumbledore nodded and took the “culprit” away from the scene.

The movement in the castle continued to expand, until Professor McGonagall and Professor Flitwick appeared in the common room of their own academies, and the little wizards stopped and went back to their beds to rest.

Of course, as soon as Hermione returned to the bedroom, she was surrounded by her best friends in the same bedroom.

“Hermione, would you like to go to the Christmas ball with me?” They all imitated the boy’s tone and laughed with Hermione.

The girls made a fuss, and it took a long time to calm down. Padma stroked her hair out of breath, and said with some emotion: Hermione is also a big girl who has been confessed in public!

Facing Padma’s straight ball, Hermione panicked and nervous. She said coquettishly, “This, this is not a confession! It’s just an invitation to the Christmas ball!”

Hermione’s face was flushed, and she was sweating a lot because of the play just now.

Padma wrapped her arms around Hermione’s neck and licked the sweat on her cheek.

“It smells like a lie, Miss Granger!”

“Let go of me! What are you doing—hey!”

Padma let go of her hand, looked at Hermione with admiration, and wondered in her heart: This little girl has developed quite well recently!

The girls also spent the night in a scene of absurd laughter.

At this time, Tom was taken to Filch’s office to help count the Christmas ball decorations for the night, which was a small punishment prepared by Dumbledore.

There are two terms in the Hogwarts academic year, the first term ending before Christmas. In the last week of term, the school is getting more and more lively. All sorts of gossip about the Christmas ball is flying around, some sounding absurd, like Dumbledore ordering three hundred barrels of Butterbeer from Lady Rosmerta on Three Broomsticks. Some are quite real, such as Dumbledore having invited the famous wizarding music group the Weird Sisters to come over for fun. But the absurd news is not necessarily false, Tom saw with his own eyes three hundred barrels of Butterbeer placed in the storage room.

Tom’s firework show is often discussed by the little wizards. The boys want to learn his operation, and the girls are thinking about how to deal with such a situation. At the same time, the sales of the toys invented by Fred and George reached a new high, and everyone bought each other to play tricks and had a lot of fun.

One by one, the students were absent-minded, and some talkative teachers—like Professor Flitwick—don’t lecture at all. He played games with the students in class. He took Tom and Hermione’s improved wizard chess into the Charms classroom, and then

Afterwards, I had a great time with the students. For him, this is much more interesting than taking a class! In the spare time of playing chess (watching time after the defeat), Professor Flitwick will also discuss with Tom the suit of armor he made in the Triwizard Tournament, and help Tom optimize the details of the armor.

But the other professors were not so good at talking. Professor Binns continued to talk about the history of the Goblin Rebellion. Professor McGonagall and Moody did not let the students idle, and they would teach the class to the last second.

As for Snape, he’s been a little haggard lately. The reason is very simple. He is focusing most of his energy on the research and development of the potion prepared for Hermione. At the same time, he has to teach the students, which is a big challenge for him. These two things took almost all his energy, leaving him no time to block the little wizards.

Tom’s slaughterhouse business is booming, it can be said that it is booming. In Yuri’s letter to him, Tom learned that the production capacity of his factory had doubled several times, and that the slaughter peak was approaching Christmas. Tens of thousands of cows were slaughtered in his factory every day. Donate your own tendon.

It’s all thanks to the low price.

Because there is no need to consider the recycling cost of ecological waste, Tom’s slaughterhouse’s asking price is almost the lowest in Texas — and probably the lowest in the nation’s regular slaughterhouses. As a result, the Texas Rednecks brought their livestock to Tom almost in droves, lining up outside the slaughterhouse.

The slaughterhouse, on the other hand, is full of production capacity, killing, bleeding, and acidifying the incoming livestock around the clock, and then delivering the clean meat to satisfied ranchers.

The blood color in the magic stone is increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye, and in less than a month, it has accumulated about one-third of the progress. If Tom’s slaughterhouse business continues like this, perhaps Hermione will be able to use the freshly-baked Philosopher’s Stone before Easter.

Tom’s slaughterhouse not only attracted ranchers, but also the butchers, who gathered outside the factory and started business with ranchers. Often a carload of beef cattle is sold before it even enters the slaughterhouse. Suddenly, the town of Huojing became extremely lively. The ranchers with their pockets full of brand-new dollar bills are not the frugal people. They swirl the bills at the bars in town, gamble a few times, and then go home for a few days.

Anyone with discerning eyes can see that as long as this slaughterhouse can slaughter livestock at such a low price, the prosperity of Burning Town will not fade away. As a result, pubs, casinos and people who do skin and meat businesses have sprung up like mushrooms after the rain.

If this continues, Burning Town has the potential to become a commercial center.

There are no troublemakers. For example, people from the State Environmental Protection Agency are very curious about where the ecological waste of this factory goes. In this regard, the slaughterhouse explained that the most advanced biodegradation technology was used here to degrade blood and internal organs into water, carbon dioxide and some inorganic salts.

The people at the State Environmental Protection Agency were speechless. The local government, who ate the dividends brought by the slaughterhouse, also did not welcome this group of people, and they had to leave in ashes.

What happens in the non-magical world does not affect the magical world. British wizards are still more concerned about the changes in Gringotts.

Gringotts has been in turmoil since the dementors took the top of Gringotts away. Fortunately, the Ministry of Magic intervened in time and took over Gringotts. In addition, the Gringotts system was perfect, and the absence of leadership did not affect the normal operation of the grassroots, so the chaos was controlled within a fairly small range.

During the time the Gringotts board members were in custody, the Ministry of Magic quickly took their place and took over their jobs – the people at the Ministry might not understand finance, but they understood administration. With the support of a group of goblin traitors, the wizard-led Gringotts is fully formed.

Wizards have changed the power structure of Gringotts. The upper floors of the original Gringotts were all goblins of noble birth, but now they have become a combination of wizards and goblins from ordinary families. The top part of the Pyramid of Power was shoveled away and replenished by extraneous forces and the middle level of the Pyramid. After coming and going, the goblins below did not lose anything, and some goblins also took this opportunity to achieve a class transition that was impossible to achieve on weekdays, which made the resistance inside Gringotts less than imagined.

Now Gringotts and the Ministry of Magic are more closely bound, and it is said that the Ministry of Magic will open a new department after the year – the Department of Magic and Finance. For the first time in history, this department will appoint a goblin as the deputy director. As for the powers and responsibilities of this division, it is responsible for connecting with Gringotts and supervising Gringotts financial behavior.

These are two or three things that happened before Christmas.

As Christmas approaches, Hogwarts Castle is at its best. The whole castle was adorned with lights overnight: the marble armrests were covered with icicles that would never melt, and the twelve Christmas trees appeared in the auditorium, covered with all kinds of baubles. ——The bell that will shake automatically, the golden owl sitting on the top of the tree and combing its wings, the small salute that will blow itself up when passersby approach… These small gifts are hung there for anyone to take, anyone who is interested in them The little wizards can pick a few to go. The armors in the castle were also polished to sparkle and enchanted to sing Christmas carols whenever anyone approached them. Interestingly, some armors only know half of the lyrics, so they quickly get stuck once someone stops to listen.

There are so many, countless, which are eye-opening for the students of the other two schools. It can only be said that the house-elves at Hogwarts have made great efforts to earn a lot of face for Hogwarts.

Finally, the Christmas break begins. Teachers have left a ton of homework – including a pre-holiday meeting with students

The delightful Professor Flitwick. However, after the holidays started, the students were still not in the mood to do their homework, and everyone was having fun.

Along with the Christmas holiday, there is also a very occasional goose feather snow. The heavy snow dyed the forbidden forest and lawn outside the castle white, and also formed a thick layer of ice on the surface of the Black Lake. From the castle windows, Beauxbatons’ carriage looked like a giant pumpkin, and Hagrid’s hut was a gingerbread hut with icing sugar. Due to a layer of crystal clear ice hanging outside, Durmstrang’s ship seems to have an ice shell, and Hogwarts has become a world in a fairy tale.

There is no happier time than this. The little wizards didn’t have any troubles. They spent all day relaxing in the lounge, playing chess with their friends, skewering food on iron skewers, and grilling on the fire… Everything was so casual and comfortable.

Hermione also changed her temper~www.mtlnovel.com~ kept silent about her studies. But she seemed to be secretly preparing for something, because she often disappeared for a short time during the day, and even Tom didn’t know what she was doing.

And just like that, Christmas came.

On Christmas morning, Tom woke up from his sleep. He opened his eyes and found that the sky outside was still dark, with only a faint light flickering on the horizon, and it was the dawn of time.

Tom wondered why he woke up so early. Soon, he had the answer, because he touched the second person’s body on his bed!

It was a smooth, slender body!

The smooth touch of the hand completely dispelled the drowsiness in Tom’s mind. He opened his eyes, rolled over, sat up, and was thrown over.

“Tom, your Christmas present has arrived” Hermione’s voice sounded in Tom’s ear.
