Hermione, join me as Minister of Magic!

The book company may not consider his own opinion when promoting it. Maybe this is just the result of the operation of the publishing company. "

As soon as Ron spit out half of what he said without thinking, Hermione stared at him and his voice became smaller and smaller, and finally changed his words helplessly.

Seeing that he retracted his words, Hermione didn't intend to pursue it further, but turned the topic back to their previous plan.

"Anyway, the investigation we should be doing is still to be done." Hermione whispered, "The Polyjuice Potion is ready, we will start tonight."

"More?" The two hesitated, "Since the professor already has clues..."

"Didn't you also say that, it is very likely that it is just a propaganda method of the publishing house." Hermione saw the two people's willingness to retreat, but she still insisted on her will.

"No matter what, the professor is investigating this matter. If we can get the news directly from the Slytherin common room, it will definitely help the professor a lot. Even if it doesn't help, it can also enrich some details. …Oh, Ginny, you're down too? Why are you so pale? Did you have another nightmare last night?"

"No, I'm fine." Ginny forced herself to smile, "It's already a holiday anyway, I think I'll probably feel much better after two days of rest."

"That's true... have you received a gift from Professor Lockhart?"

Ginny hesitated for a moment: "Yes, it's a beautiful golden quill. After writing 1 words with it, it can automatically write by imitating your language style... How about you?"

"A lilac-colored magic umbrella!" Hermione said beamingly. "Not only can it fly up and open itself when it rains, but it can also block hundreds of evil spells..."

"And that Christmas card—" Ron added, "—allow me to use it in my place, to protect Miss Granger when I'm not around her'"

"If you don't speak, no one will treat you as dumb." Hermione stared at him viciously.

he replied.

Harry shrugged aside - Lockhart gave him a gift, a sphere with wings that looked like a snitch, but with what looked like an eyeball at the end.

- After reading the instruction manual, he realized that this thing is called "the third eye" - it can share the vision with the wizard, and it is the same as Xixiu, no matter where, as long as there is a crack, it can get in.

It seems to be very useful, but Harry can't figure out how to use this thing for a while.

What Ron got was a gentleman's monocular glasses, the kind with a gold chain. The lens was coated with a layer of special ink, and he could see the magic concentration of units within a certain range.

He experimented a little and found that a first grader had a green outline on the lens, while a third grader was chartreuse, a fifth grader was yellow, a seventh grader was orange, and Professor McGonagall came to the common room All Ron saw from her when the Christmas schedule was read out in the bedroom was a deep red, almost purple.

Ron's momentary curiosity) and when he met Dumbledore in the corridor, J sneaked a look at the Headmaster with those glasses.

Then he was almost blinded by the dazzling bluish-white light flashing from the glasses, and he had to wait for a while to let his eyes rest.

Although he knew it was not the responsibility of the lens, but in a short time he was in any case

I don’t even want to wear it anymore. Chapter 78 Strong mobility is the characteristic of Lions

Christmas Eve finally came, and all the little wizards who were still in school came to the auditorium to have Christmas dinner with the teachers and students of the school.

This year, because there were too few people left, no one sat at the college table to eat. Dumbledore directly cast magic, pushed all the long tables to the side, and then turned into a round table, and everyone gathered around this round table Have Christmas dinner.

As Hogwarts' annual big meal, the house elves have been busy with it since the morning, and the preparations they have made are not insufficient.

Although due to various accidents this year, there is no big chicken leg that Ron can grab and eat with one hand, but the fresh and tender lamb pie, the roasted beef and pork leg that overflows with gravy after cutting perfectly make up for this. , coupled with the indispensable roast goose and a wide variety of fruits on Christmas Eve in the UK, even the pickiest foodie can't protest that the dinner is not rich enough.

Although Lockhart had to keep in shape, he couldn't help but eat more after seeing this kind of battle, but he had to run an extra 5 kilometers around the lake for it tomorrow morning.

Unlike other students who ate as much as they could, Hermione dragged the reluctant Harry and Ron out of the auditorium after half of the three of the Saviors ate, and it seemed that they were about to make a big move.

Seeing the three of them going out, Dumbledore glanced at Snape while eating his favorite sweets, which probably meant that it was time for you to go.

Snape stood up unobtrusively, and said goodbye to his colleagues who were still eating.

Because he had been walking alone, no one suspected anything. In addition, most of the people present had drunk alcohol, so no one noticed his behavior.

Not far from the auditorium, seeing no one around, Snape took out his wand.

"Superinvista_lslaturus!

Snape's figure vanished into thin air as the unusual incantation was spoken.

The original Disillusionment Curse only made people transparent, and it was not impossible to find traces if you looked closely, but the effect of Snape's Disillusionment Curse was far better than normal.

This was not because Snape had developed any new spells, but because Lockhart had improved the Disillusionment spell.

Regardless of whether it is polarized light or light transmission, this is after all just a way to deceive people's visual perception.The reason why the invisibility cloak is more difficult to see through is because it also covers part of the sound of breathing and smell, so my improved "Excellent Invisibility" not only optimizes the boundary effect of polarized light, but also has the effect of noise reduction and odor isolation. I'm thinking of ways to add a bit of the effect of the Confusion Curse to it. As long as this is finally completed, no one can have teeth unless it is a magic master who maintains the state of "true knowledge" at all times...

Snape remembered laughing at the guy at the time, saying that he spent so much time on these little tricks that it was completely unnecessary, but in the end, somehow, he "improved" this long, awkward spell Got it down.

But after using it, Snape realized that the effect was really good, because after using this spell, he found that even the sound of walking was blocked.

He curled his lips secretly, then walked quickly to Myrtle's girls bathroom

He had just walked outside the washroom when the voice inside floated out:

"...I put ordinary sleeping pills in here, Muggle side, even Snape can't find it, then just let Crabbe and Goyle see these two pieces of chocolate cake, they will definitely eat it..."

Sleeping pills on the Muggle side...well, probably wouldn't have found it, but now I do.Snape thought.

"Once they passed out, we plucked a few hairs out of them and threw them in the broom cupboard, and then we threw the ingredients into the polyjuice potion oo"

"Hermione, I don't think—

"That could be a big mistake

"You're still talking like this now. Polyjuice Potion won't work without adding their hair!" Hermione taught her two older boys, "You guys want to ask Malfoy , right? Since you all think he is the biggest suspect... If we don't stun them, how can they break in when we are interrogating Malfoy?

There was a moment of silence in the room before Harry and Ron's voices reappeared.

make up...

"Then we pretend to be Crabbe and Goyle...how about you?"

"Daphne Greengrass." Hermione was already prepared.

"Who is that?" Harry asked in bewilderment.

But after hearing that person's surname, Ron understood which A Hermione was talking about.

"Slytherin's, girls in our year, don't you remember?" Ron told Harry.

"Honestly, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Because she belongs to the Greengrass family, all women in their family have a blood curse, and they will die after giving birth, so the health of their family has always been not very good, and they rarely come to class."

Anyway, it's 28 pure blood, of course Ron knows something that Harry doesn't

"Yes, hold me up after you become Crabbe and Goyle, and say we met by chance, worried that my body might not be able to return to the common room, no one would doubt it, and she herself It's home for Christmas, I just have to say I'm back early." Hermione looked confident.

Ron was a little curious: "Strange, Hermione, you are Muggle-born...how did you know her?"

"Fool! Her and I's surnames both start with letters, and they were shared together during the exam! I bet you must be in a daze during the exam, and you didn't even say hello to the people sitting next to you?"

"Uh, I mean, how did you get her hair?"

"Before the final exams last semester, I was helping her review in the library. She untied a hairpin from her own hair and gave it to me. There was her hair on it... I see.

■

"understood."

"Then what are you waiting for, let's do it!"

After listening to their plan quietly outside the door, Snape covered his face in pain.

What is the plan of these hairy children?It was full of mistakes and omissions.

It turns out that the compound decoction was made for more than a month just to question Malfoy?What a waste of my African tree snake skin.

It's fine to stun Goyle and the others directly, but you never thought that after they come out of the broom cupboard, as long as they match up with Malfoy a little bit, wouldn't you be exposed?And Miss Greengrass, isn't it the same?

Seeing Harry and Ron hurry past him with chocolate cakes in their hands, Snape felt tired for a while.

Looks like I'll have to handle the end... No wonder Dumbledore keeps me staring.

Chapter 79 Everybody's Playing

Snape thought such a nonsense plan would never succeed, but some people were more cooperative than he imagined.

While Hermione was waiting anxiously, Harry and Ron finally returned victorious with what Hermione wanted.

"Here, the brown hair is Crabbe, and the yellow one is Gull."

With an expression of asking for credit, they handed the things to Hermione: "You can't imagine how stupid they are! They didn't feel at all awkward about the chocolate cake that appeared there, and ate it directly..."

That's because I've Confounded them - added Snape, who was invisible behind them, in his mind.

We stuffed them in the broom cupboard without anyone noticing.Shoes were also brought, because we felt that after drinking the soup, the original shoes would not fit our feet. "

Yeah, didn't anyone find out, including Crabbe and Goyle himself?

Snape's heart was broken at this time - if I hadn't cast an Oblivion Curse on them, making them think that they had eaten a stomachache and passed out, I'm afraid they would realize that they had been plotted against immediately after waking up .

After I go back, I must tell the principal that the savior is obviously a brain-dead man who is completely unable to take up the task of defeating the Dark Lord. Let him live a lively and happy life like a normal mentally handicapped child.

Of course, Harry and the others couldn't hear Snape's heartfelt voice, so they were still immersed in the joy of success and were ready to do a big job.

Hermione swiftly divided the compound soup in the candy into three parts, and then put Ha

The hair in Li's hands was collected, and together with what he had collected, he put them into three cups.

The black liquid that had been tumbling in the three cups suddenly changed, and they became the same color as Hermione's hair.

"This is yours, yours, this is mine." Hermione quickly dispensed the soup, put on makeup, stop talking nonsense, the two of you go to the next compartment to drink the medicine...

Just as Harry and Ron came out with the potion, Snape approached them quietly, and looked carefully at the cups in their hands, his nose still twitching.

Hmm... Although the materials are not prepared well, at least there is nothing wrong with the ingredients of the formula, and it should be able to have the desired effect, but the effect may not last for an hour.

But no matter what, drinking it shouldn't kill you.

After confirming the safety of the potion, Snape stepped back a bit, allowing these brave little wizards to drink the compound potion.

Snape was a little desperate - after these little guys drank the potion, they would definitely cause a lot of troubles later: and all these troubles had to be wiped by him, Snape.

Why did the damn old bees only let me keep them in charge?Isn't he still there?What about the Lockharts?Isn't he the best at dealing with kids like this?

■

Of course Lockhart wasn't going to be sent by the headmaster, because they were doing something that Snape would be mad if he found out.

After the last dessert was removed, Lockhart was full of energy: he organized a duel club Christmas entertainment match with the help of Christmas decorations in the auditorium

At this time, in the middle of the duel arena is the Christmas tree that Hagrid had painstakingly chopped down.

Now it has been decorated by Professor Flitwick with wands, music boxes, gold stars, ruby ​​balls, phalaenopsis and the like.

"Later I'll cast a spell on the Christmas tree,

It will send to the venue every once in a while

Throw candies in the sky, you are not allowed to use magic,

Can only be picked up with a Christmas stocking.candy drop

After the land, it will disappear directly and return to the Christmas tree,

So you don't have to worry about wasting it.

The one who receives the most candies at the end can choose your presents from the Christmas tree first..."

Halfway through his speech, he suddenly found himself unable to continue.

Because Dumbledore, Professor McGonagall, and Professor Babling also came to the sidelines one after another and picked up a Christmas stocking.

"Uh... this sock is a contestant's prop, Headmaster." Lockhart added with a fluke.

But the headmaster waved his socks and smiled like a 00-year-old kid.

"Of course we know it's a contestant's prop, but I checked the rules and it doesn't seem like anyone is prohibited from participating."

"But the prizes are just some... star-shaped chocolates covered with gold leaf, licorice candy wands, cake music boxes and strawberry panna cotta balls." Lockhart had to add.

But he regretted it right away—how could he forget about the old bee's sweet tooth?

"Great!" Dumbledore was elated, "I want them all."

"You want to compete for candy with the children?" Lockhart was completely desperate.

"In fact, it's a little embarrassing to say that, but I have to admit that my mother never bought me sweets when I was young, which made me like them all the time...Mrs. Lockhart must have loved you very much when you were young, right?" Deng Bullido asked back.

"It is."

"Look, you don't like sweets very much now because you have eaten too much sweets. What about me? It's just making up for what you didn't eat before." Dumbledore asked
