Chapter 33: Christmas
For a whole month, the three of Harry had been secretly searching for news of Nicole Lemay, and every time they saw Iger, they hurriedly packed up the information in their hands.
Looking at the three people, Iger snickered in his heart, but did not reveal it.
The guessing game like finding the Philosopher's Stone makes him less interested. He has been waiting for Tom Riddle's diary, and he has nothing to do to tease and tease. It must be very interesting...
With the passage of time, another year of Christmas is coming. For others, Christmas is a holiday. For Iger, Christmas is not only a holiday, but also his birthday.
This is also what he said after he spent a year at Granger's house, and Hermione asked him thoroughly. Originally, Iger thought it would be fine to spend Christmas together, and there was no need to celebrate another birthday.
Looking at the snow a few feet deep outside the window, Iger put on a luxurious and thick robe and walked out. As soon as they got downstairs, they saw the Weasley brothers casting spells on a few snowballs, letting them Chasing Quirrell running around, when Iger saw a few snowballs hit the back of the two Quirrells, Iger laughed out loud.
The brothers may not know that they were the first people who dared to throw a snowball in Voldemort's face.
Iger hugged his stomach and smiled, leaning back and forth, and soon, Professor McGonagall appeared beside a few people at some point.
"Mr. Weasleys, for your impolite behavior, Gryffindor will be deducted five points!" Professor McGonagall said in a stern tone, looking at the two of them angrily, and then looking at the man who was still laughing. Iger, Professor McGonagall's face became more severe: "As for you, Mr. Morrissey, you are fully capable of stopping their behavior, but you don't, this nature is even worse, so I will deduct ten points for you!"
Looking at Professor McGonagall who left in a huff, the three of them stared at each other for a while, and then burst into laughter again.
It seemed that Professor McGonagall's deduction did not bring any negative emotions to the three of them.
"It's only fifteen minutes."
"Master Poison Egg earned it in two lessons."
The two were joking, and Iger muttered in dissatisfaction, "Don't call me a poisonous egg... and don't call me an adult..."
"How can that be, you are our leader." Fred looked panic and exaggerated.
"The new generation of Dark Lord" George knelt down on one knee with a deep expression, and then the two burst into laughter again.
In the distance, a burly figure walked over angrily. Hagrid looked at the Weasley brothers with a rough voice: "Don't talk nonsense, don't make trouble for Iger, he's already rough enough."
"Hagrid" Egger eagerly wanted to climb onto Hagrid's shoulders, but unfortunately the coat was too thick to succeed: "Where are you going?"
"I'm going with Professor Kettleburn to get some medicine for the birds to warm up. Those poor little guys in the owl shed are freezing." Hagrid nodded.
Iger thought for a while, then suddenly patted his head: "Should I bring Luck and Hedwig back to the castle?"
"Thank goodness you finally figured it out, but no need." Hagrid patted Iger's little head: "Hedwig is a snowy owl and doesn't respond much to the cold. As for Lack, I haven't seen it, it should be those house elves. Taking care."
Egger breathed a sigh of relief and waved goodbye to Hagrid.
"Speaking of which, it's so deserted today..." Iger said while looking at the clear blue sky.
"The holiday is coming, and everyone is looking forward to it." Fred nodded: "It's normal, it happens every year."
"What about you?" Iger turned to look at the two of them.
"We and Ron Percy stayed at the castle because our mother, our father and our sister are going to Romania to visit Charlie." George said with a smile.
Iger then remembered that Charlie went to Romania to study dragons...
"Are they gone?" Iger asked, looking at the twins.
The two shook their heads: "Not yet, they plan to leave the day before Christmas."
"Very good." Iger smiled: "I still have enough time to help Charlie prepare Christmas gifts. I plan to buy a metal wand shell for him, in case he breaks the wand when he is studying the fire dragon. It's not good..."
"He will be moved to tears." The twins looked at each other and laughed.
Compared with Iger, the three of Harry are obviously going to be a little crazy. They still haven't figured out who Nicole Lemay is.
It was already an hour later when Iger arrived in the Great Hall, and the three of Harry seemed to be having a bit of trouble with Malfoy, and Snape deducted points, which made them even more annoyed.
Hagrid brought twelve Christmas trees and placed them on both sides of the auditorium. Iger felt that he was a little too busy recently, and he had to pull the trees out after Christmas...
Professor Flitwick decorated the auditorium with a wand in his hand. Iger leaned over and said, "Do you need help, Professor?"
After a while, looking at the twelve decorated Christmas trees and the magnificent auditorium, Professor Flitwick gave Iger twenty points.
Iger felt very happy, not only earned back the fifteen points that Professor McGonagall deducted, but also earned back the five points that Snape had just deducted for the three of them.
"You really have a set..." Ron slapped his mouth and looked at Iger: "I earned the previous five points in a few months..."
Iger shrugged and wanted to sing to Ron: We are different...
The morning owl rains a routine letter, Harry untied the envelope from Hedwig's claws, looked at Iger and grinned: "The Dursleys invited me back for Christmas..."
"What do you think?" Agger raised his chin and looked at Harry curiously.
"Ah..." Harry blinked: "I don't know, it just feels complicated, but I want to be here with Ron, his parents are going to Romania to see his brother."
"No, Harry." Ron looked at Harry and thought for a while: "I think you should go back, this is a good opportunity to improve your relationship, after all, you have to live together for a long time, I don't care, Fred and George is here."
"I think Ron is right." Iger nodded, a little surprised in his heart, he always thought that Ron was the kind of person who accepted death: "This is indeed a good opportunity, although I really hate what they did to you. But Harry, what sets you apart is your ability to forgive others' mistakes."
Harry was a little embarrassed, and looked at Iger regularly: "I... just don't know how to face them, you know Iger, the impression you gave them that day was too strong, I'm more used to them as before."
"What did Iger do?" Ron looked at Harry in surprise: "I heard you say before that Iger caused a lot of psychological trauma to the family."
Harry looked at Iger, who spread his hands to show that it didn't matter.
"Iger blocked the Dursleys when he went to pick me up, blew up their house, and then killed them..." Harry roughly described what happened that day: "But Iger said He was just frightening the Dursleys..."
"Although I feel like he really wants to kill them..." Harry whispered these words in Ron's ear.
"Cool..." Ron looked at Iger adoringly: "It's really a **** wrist."
"What the **** do you think?" Hermione looked at Ron angrily. "That's against the law, not just against school rules."
"So why didn't you tell Iger?" Ron looked innocent.
Hermione turned her head to look at Iger, and then met those smiling eyes, Hermione choked weakly, and turned around with a red face.
"You are really powerful enough..." Ron looked at Iger and grinned: "To be honest, I am a little envious of you."
"I suggest that you better find a suitable target, so that all good girls will not be picked in the future." Iger grinned.
After the meal, Fred and George mysteriously dragged Iger aside. Fred looked at Iger: "We thought of one thing."
"A very cool thing." George laughed.
"Do you know the Dark Mark on Death Eaters?" Fred looked at Iger and said, "We saw that in the book."
"I know, why, do you want one?" Iger looked blank.
"No, we can notify our companions by looking at that thing." Fred looked at Iger.
George grinned, "So we thought if you could make something similar?"
"After all, we are also an organization now." Fred nodded.
Iger looked inexplicable, but nodded: "Okay, I think there should be no problem, you wait for me to check."
……
"Looks like... you set up an organization?"
At night, in Snape's office, Snape was concocting potions slowly, and Iger felt that Snape didn't look so gloomy now.
"Yes, almost." Iger looked at Snape cheerfully: "Is there any similar spell?"
"The principle of double-sided mirrors..." Snape said casually, "I wonder if you've seen the kind of mirror that can show the opposite situation in two places."
"I've heard of it." Iger nodded: "Is it related?"
"That mirror uses a similar spell." Snape continued in a slow tone, explaining the general principle to Iger.
"Stretch out your hand." After Snape looked at the quality of the potion in the cauldron, he stood up and pulled out his wand: "What mark do you want?"
Iger smacked his lips: "emmm...it will be two days later, I haven't made up my mind yet..."
"Then come back when you think about it." Snape threw a black cat out of the door.
"Meow…"
For several days, Iger had not negotiated with the Weasley brothers what pattern they wanted. According to the two, it should be a black poisonous egg, but this idea was strongly opposed by Iger.
Until the night before Christmas, when Iger and Hermione left school, the three of them hadn't made up their minds.
On the other hand, the three of Harry also discussed to find out the clues of Nicole Lemay during the holiday. In this way, a group of people ushered in the holiday with various thoughts.
Harry looked at Iger with envy as he led Hermione to Hogsmeade Village, and the convenience of Apparition made him a little envious.
He finally decided to stay with Ron at Hogwarts, and Harry felt that he had not yet figured out how to deal with the Dursleys.
People are so strange sometimes. When two people who have a bad relationship suddenly improve their relationship, they often don't know how to face each other.
But these are not things that Iger should worry about. He took Hermione and directly appeared at Granger's house by apparating.
As soon as they got home, they heard the sound of 'bang', and the room suddenly lit up. The Grangers looked at the two with a smile, holding two fireworks in their hands. On the other side, Aisha and Kaka also held The fireworks tube looked at the two with a smile.
"Merry Christmas, darlings." Jane stepped forward and hugged Iger and Hermione: "Kaka told us that you should be back soon, and I guessed that you would show up with a snap."
Jane was chattering, and Iger was smiling. At least at this moment, he felt that there was no place that made people feel warmer than this place.
Early on Christmas morning, Iger happily accepted the hugs from the Granger family and Elsa, and of course, Kaka.
Immediately it was the time to open the gifts excitedly. The things Snape gave were the same as before, still the piles of bottles and jars. Iger often sold the potions that seemed to be about to expire to Diagon Alley, and told people that this was the case. Potions master Snape himself concocted, and often sold for a good price, even though it was a potion that was about to expire.
Iger couldn't help but celebrate that the elixir of happiness has no shelf life, otherwise it would have to sell a lot.
Of course, his behavior of selling potions also made Snape very dissatisfied, and he sent some potions with no expiration date, which made Iger even happier, because the more precious potions, the less shelf life...
Dumbledore sent a lot of candy, but the Granger and his wife put it away shortly after they opened it. They told Iger that even if there is a tooth change potion, you can't eat so much candy, because it is not good for your health.
Professor McGonagall gave a golden lion wand head and a matching crutch with a wand, which looked similar to Lucius Malfoy's crutch and had a gentleman's charm.
Harry gave Iger a broom maintenance kit. He always disliked Iger's casual attitude towards brooms, and even asked Iger to take the broom to him to help maintain it over and over again.
Ron gave a pair of snakeskin boots. The letter told Iger that he would also step on Slytherin under his feet in the new year, which made Iger laugh for a long time.
Hermione gave Iger a hard red scarf, which matched Iger's coat very well, while Elsa gave Iger a beautiful brass earring. Hermione never let Iger wear it, saying that it looked very naughty. As for what she really thinks so don't know...
The most surprising thing is that Malfoy also gave Iger a gift It is a very beautiful black robe, and under the black robe are streaks of golden red flames, which look like flames. The burning is generally attractive, at least it looks, it is much more beautiful than all of Iger's robes.
"You should check to see if there is any black magic on it," Hermione told Iger.
Iger nodded: "I think so too..."
According to the method learned from Snape, Iger checked up and down two or three times, but there was no problem. Iger picked up the robe and looked at it in confusion. A letter fell out of the robe. In the letter, Malfoy Sincerely expressed that I want to make friends with Iger...
"The Slytherins who worship power." Hermione felt very bad, he thought Malfoy would bring down Iger...
"It's okay." Iger smiled: "I feel that he was just spoiled by his parents, and his heart is not bad, although sometimes it is really annoying."
"As you wish." Hermione didn't care about Iger's thoughts. She felt that when she revealed Snape's true face, Iger might be able to listen to her words. The little girl was not in a hurry at all. In her opinion, the top priority was Find the news of Nicole LeMay.
Two days after Christmas, Hedwig flapped his wings and appeared in front of Iger's window. Iger carried Hedwig into the house and grabbed a small pot of Kaka for it.
Unpacking the letter on Hedwig's paw, Iger picked it up and looked at it. It said that Harry told himself that he saw a strange mirror, that he saw his parents and many family members.
Harry said that Ron didn't think it was a good thing, so the two planned to write a letter to Iger to ask.
Iger laughed, hooked his fingers, and a quill flew in front of him, writing on the parchment.
