The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1396 The Snowy Christmas Ball

Compared with home, the Christmas atmosphere at the headquarters of the association is indeed stronger.

There are so many people, that's right.

But what's up with this Christmas tree?

Looking at this weird Christmas tree, Albert was quite speechless.

Some kind of performance art?
Or did someone use the Transfiguration Charm to transform into a Christmas tree, and ended up looking like this?
Albert really guessed right, this tree was indeed created by several members of the association who are good at deformation using deformation magic.

It's a pity that they are obviously trying it for the first time, so they come up with such a weird Christmas tree.

What surprised Albert the most was the igloo that Fred and George led people to cut out of ice and snow in the open space of the village. They also used the traceless stretching spell to expand the space inside the igloo countless times, so as to Plenty of room for a Yule Ball venue.

"The idea is good, but the hands-on ability is a bit bad."

Albert took out his wand, waved it at the weird Christmas tree, and made the Christmas tree normal. He seemed to feel that there was still something missing, so he took out a non-traceable stretch bag from his robe pocket, and prepared the Christmas tree for the members of the association. Presents are piled up under the Christmas tree.

"Well, that looks a lot more comfortable."

Albert put away the traceless stretch bag, looked at the Christmas tree full of presents, and nodded with satisfaction.

"You actually prepared so many Christmas presents?"

George appeared next to Albert at some point. He bent down to pick up a package and asked, "What's the gift?"

"Foreign desserts." Albert nodded towards the Christmas gift and said, "Take it apart and have a look, one for each of you, but I can't guarantee that you will all like it."

"Dessert? It's not bad. In fact, we have prepared some. If you don't receive a gift for Christmas, it will be somewhat disappointing." George put the Christmas gift in his hand back into the gift pile, planning to come back later Share it with everyone.

Albert was a little surprised, and asked with a smile: "School and shelter, are you ready?"

"Ready." George explained, "Sanna treats everyone equally, so that the cohesion of the members of the association can be better enhanced."

"Very good." Albert felt very relieved. It seemed that they had grown a lot without knowing it.

"It costs a lot of money, though, so we used some random Easter egg inspiration to make a batch of random Christmas gift boxes full of joke props we made!" George said, pulling out a non-traceable stretch bag He was going to hand it to Albert. Originally, he planned to put the Christmas gift in the package under the tree, but he didn't expect Albert to take the lead.

"Take it yourself, and share it with everyone along with the Christmas presents under the tree later." Albert left after a while, but he didn't have time to distribute presents to everyone.

"Ok."

George was just about to stuff the non-traceable stretch bag back into his pocket, as if thinking of something, he reached out and took out a Christmas present from the bag and handed it to Albert.

"This is a Christmas present that Fred and I have chosen especially for you."

"Can I take it apart and see it on the spot?"

Albert took the gift, and was a little surprised that he received it at this time.

"of course."

"I said don't be lazy... Albert, when did you come? Everyone was still discussing whether you will come over for Christmas together." After greeting Albert, Shanna urged George not to Be lazy, quickly level the ground of the igloo, and spread the carpet by the way.

As for the carpet, of course it was created by magic.

"Is this a record?"

"I guess you haven't heard a lot of famous music, and those records are here," said George proudly. "It took me and Fred quite a while to get these records."

"You just give me a gift." Shanna couldn't help complaining.

"Gifts, as long as they are sincere." George also felt that Albert would be short of something.

"I really haven't heard many songs yet." Albert smiled and put away the gift.

"Okay, go and finish your work first, otherwise we may not be able to hold the Yule Ball tonight."

After Shanna drove George to work, she turned to Albert and talked about the Christmas ball.

"I was going to tell you about it... You know, you made them sad for a long time last time when you took their prey."

"I didn't rob their prey." Albert corrected: "I found the Nether Corpse's lair, so that's not called robbing. They just lost a chance to practice."

"Experience, okay!" Shanna didn't pay much attention, and said suddenly, "I've already prepared your Christmas present, and I'll bring it to you later."

"Today is really full of surprises." Albert looked away from Shanna and asked, "How are you getting ready for the dance?"

"It should be ready at noon." Qiu Zhang and Angelina walked towards this side, looked Albert up and down and asked, "Are you going to stay for the Christmas ball later?"

"It depends, but I probably won't stay and dance."

"why?"

"I don't like dancing very much." Albert changed the subject, "However, the number of girls in the association is a bit small."

"Yeah, girls are all in demand." Qiu Zhang looked at Shanna and joked with a smile.

"Why not invite the girls in the asylum to the ball?" Angelina suggested.

"Underage wizards carry traces on them, we can't take any risks, you know."

"sorry, I……"

"It seems that the recent success has made you all relax your vigilance." Albert narrowed his eyes and said, "This is not a good thing. Don't fall down before you succeed."

"You are too strict, Albert." Lee Jordan put his hand on Albert's shoulder, "If you are free, help strengthen the igloo. I am a little worried that this shit will suddenly collapse."

"It's not that bad, as long as you don't mess around you'll be fine."

Albert finally used magic to help strengthen the igloo slightly so that it could last until the end of this winter.

With Albert's help, the preparations for the dance were accelerated a lot.

The igloo was cast in Albert's spell, and it was gradually frozen with thick ice, and a beautiful ice cone was born, and a cold blue flame burned on it, which reminded many people of the Triwizard Tournament. That Yule Ball.

No, it should be said that they imitated the Hogwarts Christmas banquet.

"Look, I just asked Albert to help, and it will be done soon!" Lee Jordan said to several people around him.

"You used me like a coolie." Albert said angrily.

"It's called hard work for those who can, anyway, it's an easy job for you." Fred looked at the more refined ballroom, nodded in satisfaction and said, "If you count on them, they will probably be busy until tonight It’s not necessarily possible to have a dance.”

This is actually true, everyone's efficiency is really not high.

"It can only be said that your tacit understanding needs to be improved, and you need to practice more." Albert reminded, "The students in the shelter can do a lot better than you in terms of using magic to solve life's troubles."

After all, Albert waved his wand and helped them take care of the rest. For him, it was just a matter of waving his wand.

Although letting them do it themselves can get exercise, but considering that today is Christmas, it's okay to think about it, so that they can have a happy Christmas.

Half an hour before the start of the ball, both the men and the girls dressed up a little, and put on rare suits and dresses.

Albert looked at Shannah who was changing the dress, and asked with a frown, "Where did you get these things?"

"A few days ago, after we decided to hold a dance party, we secretly got it from home at night, and used the flying spell, you know it's not too difficult." Shanna pulled her dress and muttered, "It's just that the clothes don't fit well. gone."

"That means you've grown taller."

"Are you really not staying for a dance?" Shanna noticed that Albert hadn't changed.

"No, you know, I don't really like dancing."

Albert watched Dobby holding the wand and placing food and drinks on the table, so he got up and went to help.

Nearly half an hour later, there was a sudden commotion outside the igloo, and people came in in twos and threes, as if everyone had made an agreement in advance.

After people were seated, it gradually became quiet, because Albert stood up, and everyone looked at him sideways.

"You should have noticed that I have prepared Christmas presents for you." Albert pointed to the pile of packages on the Christmas tree, "Each one, and George has also prepared one for you."

"I know you can't wait, Merry Christmas!"

With that said, Albert raised his glass.

"Merry Christmas!"

All raised their glasses.

In the soft and soothing music, the banquet began.

The food on the table was not rich, and some of them were even bought directly from Muggle shops.

It was Shanna's idea.

After all, they prepared in a hurry, and they didn't have enough people to cook the food. Dobby alone would definitely not be able to keep busy.

Moreover, Muggle food is also well-received.

Looking at the couples dancing to the music, Shanna told Albert that Cedric and Qiu Zhang planned to get married after the wizarding war ended.

"This..." Albert was speechless.

This flag is standing, do you think you didn't die fast enough?

"What's wrong?"

Noticing that Albert frowned, Shanna asked suspiciously.

"It's not good to set a flag."

Set up a flag?

Shanna looked stunned.

"There was a soldier who went to the front line and told his fiancée that I would definitely come back to marry you, but he died on the battlefield." Albert casually cited a case.

"I didn't expect you to care about such a thing."

"That's really not good."

"Okay, I will mention this to them." Shanna nodded and continued to chat about the topic just now, pointing out several couples that appeared in the association to Albert.

Many girls find themselves a boyfriend.

After noticing Albert's gaze, Shanna shrugged and said, "Lee Jordan is actually... we are not suitable, many wizard families actually care about this matter, and I also think it is inappropriate to fall in love at this time , at least until the end of the war..."

"If marriage is not the goal, it will be difficult for many couples to join hands until the end."

Albert thought of Neville and Luna.

A lot of readers thought they would end up together, and it turns out...

"Is that the same with you and Isobel? I mean marriage."

"That's it."

"It's really enviable." Shanna said softly, looking at the dancing couples on the stage.

"It mainly depends on what you want." Albert shook his head and said, "Who can tell clearly about love?"

"By the way, I will go to other places later, and I will leave it to you here."
