Chapter 272

Although teachers give fourth-graders a lot of homework during the holidays, no students will do their homework at the end of the semester. The common rooms of every house seemed to suddenly get smaller, and all of a sudden they were packed, even in Slytherin houses. Many students below the fourth grade choose to stay in school because there is a dance party at Christmas, and they don't want to miss it, and there are many younger students who are lucky.

Fred and George had already approached Solim. They were going to split the money from selling the transformation candy with Solim during this time, and at the same time, they were also using this way to tell Solim that they were keeping their word. However, Solim didn't ask for their money, but told them that the money could continue to be used for research, and that they would talk about a share when they opened the store.

Solim had already promised the twins that if they wanted to open a store, he could give them a little help in the store, and if nothing else, the Ministry of Magic approvals and the like could be done on the same day. This excites the two brothers, and opening a joke shop is their ultimate dream. But it was clear that if they were to open a joke shop, they didn't have enough stock right now, and they had to ramp up production, which made the twins want to go to the prom for a while.

"At this point, maybe you can consider house-elves. That's what Solim said.

This sentence reminded the twins at once.

"That's right!

"A hard-working elf!"

The two brothers ran towards the basement in a hurry, needless to say, they must have gone to the kitchen to huo those elves.

————————————————————————

When they arrived on Christmas morning, Solim noticed that Sylna had a lot of gifts piled up next to her bed, presumably from the elves last night. Solim was still the same, with nothing by the bed, not that he couldn't receive gifts, but that he didn't accept them at all. He had already made it clear to the house-elves that any gifts would be returned in their place. It's not that Solim is unkind, it's Solim's concern for his own safety.

There are too many ways to kill people through mail in the wizarding world. A simple howling letter, as long as it contains the sound of a mature mandrake, everyone who hears it will be doomed. Others have envelopes soaked in poison that can poison wizards who touch them with their hands...... There were so many ways to do it, and Solim himself wasn't sure he knew them all.

Solim had also talked to Sylna about this issue, but at her insistence, Sylna began receiving gifts last year.

"I don't think I'm going to have classes today, what should I do during the day?" asked Sylna.

"Whatever you're going to do later, let's go eat now. Solim had just come out of the bathroom after washing.

Today is Christmas, schools are closed, and Christmas in previous years will seem a little deserted because there are not many students staying in school. But today is different, there are very few students who went to take the train home for the holiday this morning, and the rest are ready to have a good time in the school.

If there are too many students and no more classes, you can imagine what kind of chaos will happen in the school. After breakfast, the whole school was noisy, and many students spontaneously gathered in the yard to have a snowball fight.

The time is the same for both those students who are looking forward to the prom and those who are juggling errands. When it got dark, the students went back to their common rooms to change their clothes.

Solim hadn't left the castle all day. In the afternoon he went to visit Evans, and as for why not in the morning......? Well, it should be said that Evans should have been busy since the beginning of the school year, and it would be rude to disturb other people's sleep.

As Solim had expected, Evans was no longer human: his eyes were sunken, his face was swollen, his body smelled strange, and of course, the messy room, and Solim felt that the cave where the trolls lived was cleaner than here.

Triwizard Tournament, two schools from outside, focusing on investigating the warriors of each school and their behavior, the performance of each warrior at Triwizard Tournament, some of the things that happened after the fact...... With so many things to keep track of, Evans felt that it was a miracle that he was still alive.

The only thing to be thankful for is Christmas, during which time Evans can take a little rest. That's why Solim chose this time to see him.

The deaths of Richie and Lemston are a big deal for Evans, because this kind of news can't be hidden, so as a resident at Hogwarts, investigating what happened is one of Evans' jobs. Evans thought he knew it was Solim who did it, but there was no evidence, Solim did it perfectly—Elrond wiped his grandson's ass clean. But Evans couldn't just run to Solim and ask Solim: Did you kill those two people? In the end, Evans, who couldn't find any substantial evidence, could only write down "the process is unknown" on the record.

Just when Evans thought that was the end of the matter, two more people died in Hogsmeade, not far from Hogwarts: Rich and Lamston.

This time Evans didn't have to think about it, because he didn't have to think about it at all, and he knew that it must have something to do with Solim - Elrond and Gilvis came to see the news that Evans was very clear. In fact, Solim didn't come to him today, and he was going to go to Solim in the next few days. Do you want people to live?

After a few handovers, and a few more listens to Evans' complaints, Solim went back to the break room and waited honestly for the ball to begin.

In fact, some students changed into dresses and ran out early, after all, when they were in school, they wore school uniforms, and they rarely had the opportunity to wear other clothes. Solim could understand this kind of behavior, after all, he had been wearing that kind of tracksuit for several years, and he would definitely be a hard wave when he caught the opportunity.

After Sylna returned, the siblings changed into their dresses and went out. The auditorium opens at 8 a.m., and students meet their dance partners before waiting at the door.

Solim and Sylna made their way all the way, and the siblings made an appointment with their dance partners to meet in the cloister in the courtyard. Solim is going to find Reina, and Sylna's dance partner is Flleg.

To be honest, Solim wasn't surprised at all when he learned the news. There's even a "I knew it was going to be like this" feeling.

There are already quite a few students in dresses waiting for their dance partners in the cloisters. Solim saw Miss Roderick at a glance—and Flegg beside him.

The two seemed to be chatting quite happily.
