Chapter 224 Another Christmas

"So you must understand everything mentioned above, right?" Les changed the topic.

Of course Daphne didn't understand.

That note was written by Helga in Latin, and considering that the person using it was Salazar, the content was also quite obscure - she didn't mean to do it, but because the starting point of the two of them was too high, for them What is like common sense is like a heavenly book in the eyes of future generations of young wizards.

Seeing the clear stupidity rippling in Daphne's eyes, Lester immediately understood. If she could understand, she wouldn't come to him to ask questions after such a short period of time.

"Alas..." He grabbed a roll of parchment and a quill on the table, and then quickly translated the words in Hufflepuff's notes and annotated them.

He wrote very quickly, and in just ten minutes he wrote a new textbook that was three times as long as the original Hufflepuff manuscript.

"Take it, you can read this version first." Les handed what he had written to Daphne, which was mixed with a lot of his own experience and insights.

"That's awesome!" Daphne couldn't help but want to applaud him when she saw that Les had come up with a simplified version of the "teaching material".

"Some seniors at home have written a simplified version of the textbook. I just memorized it." Les said nonsense. He felt that it would be a matter of time before his identity was exposed in front of the Greengrass sisters, but it was not a big problem.

Anyway, when the children grow up in the future, he will still tell them the truth. If I don't tell them now, firstly I'm afraid that if the children don't keep their mouth shut, it will be publicized the next day and the whole school will know about it. The second is that they are afraid that these two little girls will become arrogant.

Don't come up with something like "I started killing people when I was twelve years old, and my master told me, 'No problem, kid, you can kill whoever you want because you are Slytherin's apprentice.'" The Dark Lord, that would be very embarrassing.

Voldemort appeared in Slytherin House, which has already made him look disgraced. This can be blamed on the fact that he has been "dead" for nearly a thousand years and that future generations have not been able to inherit his spirit. If a few more Dark Lords appeared while he was still alive, he would be too embarrassed to speak when Godric and the others asked.

Daphne's current state is: Les, everything you say is right." She was too lazy to argue with him.

If there is only one mystery in a person, then others will definitely find a way to see through it. But if a person is surrounded by countless mysteries, then others will be much less interested in getting to the bottom of it.

Taking the textbook written by Les, Daphne left - she had a lot to do.

Time flies so fast, and after Halloween, Christmas seems to be here in the blink of an eye.

The white snow dyed the castle, the Forbidden Forest, and the Black Lake the same color. The students all huddled in the common room and did not go out unless necessary. Any little wizard who enters or exits the lounge without closing the door in time will receive countless death stares.

Rhys brought her what Ravenclaw had asked him to give to Hermione, and then stopped meddling in Rowena's teaching. Hermione also lived up to Ravenclaw's high expectations and successfully reproduced many potions according to the formula alone.

The “Founder’s Letter” arrived quickly. Les handed these three precious letters to Gemma, and Gemma also informed him of the location where the dust was found as agreed. But while informing her of the location, she also implored Les to call her before exploring the location to avoid any accidents.

Naturally, Les would not let down his senior sister's kindness and agreed to Gemma's request.

Before the Christmas break, the Duel Club held another event as usual, and this time the theme was "Obstacle Spell". But what the students are most looking forward to is obviously not the spell teaching, but the student duel. Of course, the holder of the highest winning streak record this time is still Daphne. And because Gemma Farley went up first to fill the hole this time, Daphne almost killed randomly.

With the perfect combination of offensive magic and defensive magic, she made the little wizards at Hogwarts completely lose their temper. Even the seventh grade students were unable to do anything to her. In the end, if Daphne hadn't voluntarily abstained, the duel meeting that day might not have been able to proceed smoothly.

The reason why Daphne didn't want to continue fighting was also very simple: when she won thirteen consecutive victories, she saw the faint smile on Les's face in the audience. She suddenly felt a phantom pain in her abdomen, and the trace of pride in her heart suddenly disappeared.

Yes, what's the point of bullying these "primitive people" here? Les came up in seconds, and so did he. Thinking of this, she gave up and walked off the duel stage.

Her decision made many seventh-grade students regretful - this is a bit counter-intuitive, but these young wizards who are about to graduate sincerely want to compete with Daphne, because it is really interesting and interesting. Novel and even improved.

At the end of the dueling tournament, Professor Flitwick announced to everyone that the champion's prize would be given out on Christmas - combined with the previous champion's prize.

This whetted the appetite of many people, and the young wizards began to speculate as to what the reward was, as it was so mysterious. However, Professor Flitwick was very tight-lipped. No matter what the students said, he didn't miss a beat.

After the dueling club's gathering, the Christmas holidays begin. The castle suddenly became empty. After all, most students still wanted to go home and spend the holidays with their families.

Daphne and Astoria are no exception, but they also want to spend the holidays with Les.

As a result, the two sisters began to whisper to Les weeks in advance, asking him what his Christmas plans were, and wildly hinting to him that Greengrass Manor would be very interesting during Christmas.

“There are thousands of Christmas trees on the property!”

"The gift bags on the tree can be opened, and there are all kinds of exquisite gifts inside!"

"The grand banquet was full of delicacies, and the jade liquor was almost as white as water. It is said that dad has invited chefs from more than a dozen countries this year."

"In order to hold this grand ceremony, my father emptied a treasury!"

Although Greengrass Manor has held grand Christmas dinners in the past to entertain various branches of the family and in-laws, it has never been as grand as this year.

The reason is also very simple. The "Slytherin Manuscript" that Mr. Henry contributed has won him a huge amount of reputation. This is a good time to hold an extremely extravagant banquet to celebrate.

For the sake of his family, Mr. Henry had no choice. This is also the "difficulty" of pure-blood nobles, that is, they know that these actions will cost a huge amount of money, but they must do it in order to maintain their dignity.

Of course, the benefits of successfully hosting such a banquet are also huge. The Greengrass family will continue to maintain a high standard, and Mr. Henry himself will also accumulate astonishing political capital - enough to influence the replacement of the Minister of Magic.

Being promoted by Daphne and Astoria, Les couldn't help but feel a little moved: He also loves fun!
