Chapter 30

On the Hogwarts "Very Slow" train, of course, the Very Slow Train, with a speed of 60 to 80 kilometers per hour, who would call it an Express train.

Draco and his three henchmen were looking for Solim from car to car. Hermione and Neville were doing the same thing, they couldn't contact Solim during the holidays, and they got on the train to ask what happened to Solim.

But they were destined not to find Solim, because the person they were looking for did not get on the train at all. Solim couldn't stand wasting seven or eight hours in vain, just sitting on the train and doing nothing, there was no way to do it when he was in school, Solim flew to Hogsmeade through the fireplace in Diagon Alley this time, there was such a convenient and time-saving way. Solim wouldn't be stupid enough to squeeze the train. While the experience of using Floo was terrible, Solim was more receptive to it than wasting seven or eight hours on the train.

This Christmas holiday Solim is very satisfied, his sister's affairs have been settled, no surprise Sirna will be able to attend Hogwarts next semester, but the next semester is a bit dangerous, but Solim didn't pay too much attention to it, as long as he didn't run around and go with the army, nothing would happen, and it would be good to explain it to Sylna when the time came.

Gilves' gift to Solim was so generous that at Elrond's insistence, Solim took the potion at the end of the Christmas holidays. In Elrond's words, the most precious thing is given to those who need it most.

Sylna wasn't in trouble, and no one was going to make a move on her. But Solim is different, the Rich family and some wizards who want to see the face of the Rich family are all enemies of Solim, and the urgency of increasing strength for Solim is much higher than that of Syrna, in view of this situation, it is more appropriate to give Solim the enchantment potion.

After all, in Elrond's view, Sylna is a girl after all, and girls have to marry after all. And in the wizarding world, witches rarely participate in battles, and it is basically the responsibility of male witches to fight, send to death, or something. Therefore, even if Sylna becomes a great wizard in the future, her strength will only be good-looking, and basically it will not be useful.

But Solim was different, he was a boy, and whether he was an illegitimate child or not, he was always a member of the Selwyn family. And when Sylna marries, she is no longer a member of the Selwyns. Although it is really annoying to say that patriarchy and profit maximization or something, but the general environment of the entire wizarding world is like this, and it is understandable that Elrond would think so.

At the opening dinner, Draco had been boasting to Solim about the award Lucius Malfoy had given him: next semester Malfoy would sponsor the Slytherin Quidditch team with seven wheels of light. The reason for this was because Draco came home and showed Lucius the silent casting of the Disarming Charm, much to Lucius's shock and excitement. Shouting that the Malfoys were worthy of their ancestors, they had cultivated a genius like Draco, and that reviving the family's glory was just around the corner, and in excitement he agreed to Draco's request: to sponsor the Quidditch team in Slytherin.

Seven light wheels are not cheap.

If the ordinary sweep series is the old Jetta, and the Comet series is Poussin, then the light wheel series is BMW. The price of seven light wheels could only be afforded by a pure-blood wizard with deep pockets like Malfoy. You see, Weasley doesn't even have a slightly better broom at home, it's all scrapped Sweep Stars and Comet 140s, which are almost antique. It's not hard to see why students react so much when they learn that Slytherin has seven light wheels in Year 2.

"Light Wheel 2000?" Solim wasn't interested in Quidditch or broomsticks, but that didn't stop him from knowing some of the most basic things.

"No, no, no," Draco shook his finger triumphantly, "it's Halo 2001, it's said not to be released yet, and it will be a few months before it happens, but next year our academy will definitely be able to use it." "

"By the way," Draco said to Solim in a very strange tone, "My dad said that it would be difficult for you like Selwyn to reach you, didn't he?"

Solim didn't have to think about it to know what was going on, Draco must have contacted him during the Christmas holidays, but the owls of outsiders certainly couldn't get close to Selwyn Castle. Don't look at Solim who sent a letter to Elrond at school, it's that he knows what to do to keep the owl from being expelled.

The

house-elves of the Selwyn family had a daily task of expelling all owls that flew to the castle, and as long as they did not carry a special insignia, the owls could not get close to the castle and would be expelled.

Don't think it's just to show how tough the Selwyns are – it's a defensive measure.

Howler letters, as long as the wizard knows this thing, it seems that receiving the roaring letter is nothing. But what if the roaring letter is not the voice of a man, if it is the cry of a mature mandrake? Killing people with roaring letters containing mandrake cries is nothing new.

After the dinner, Solim was stopped by Filch. After listening to Filch's words, Solim was silent for a long time.

Snape's potions did work for Filch, it was something that had been established. But as time went on, some problems also surfaced, that is, Filch was too old, he was different from those little squibs, even if the children sealed themselves with magic, but they were still young, how much magic could they have? A few bottles of potions could solve the problem. But how old is Filch? The magic of his self-sealing is comparable to that of the little ones?

Those potions were indeed able to unleash some of Filch's magic, but more than the magic that Filch could wield, it was still in a self-sealed state. And in order to activate these magical powers that are still sealed, they must continue to take Snape's potions.

But when Solim and Snape confirmed that the potion worked, they didn't bother Filch. So now Filch can still use a little bit of magic. After all, Snape was not a warm-hearted person, so he was too lazy to care about this kind of thing, so Filch could only come to Solim.

Now Solim is struggling with whether to care about Filch or not, you know, those potion materials are valuable, a bottle is almost fifty Galleons, and the magic condition in Filch's body will take at least a dozen courses.

"Argus," Solim thought for a moment, but still spoke: "I know your situation, you want the potion, but you have to pay for the material yourself, you also know my situation, there is no money, the potion you used to drink was out of Professor Snape's own pocket, if you can provide the material, I think I am still willing to help you." "

Solim said that if you can provide materials or the cost of purchasing materials, then you can talk about it. Snape is sure he won't care about this, is it not up to me, a poor bastard, to help you out of my own pocket?

?

Is Filch rich? Yes, yes, but at his level at Hogwarts, the salary is certainly not much. But considering that Filch has been working at Hogwarts for so many years, as long as he doesn't spend money lavistly, his savings should still be considerable. Although there are no five insurances and one housing fund, Hogwarts has food and shelter, and there is no need to pay electricity bills. There was nowhere to spend it except Hogsmeade, so Solim thought that Filch should have a lot of savings, but it would definitely not be enough to completely unleash the magic power of his whole body.

After

sending Filch away for the time being, Solim finally returned to the Slytherin common room. Solim knew that the next step was the highlight of the year, the Treasure Squad Battle.

For this, Solim went to the city to buy a few buckets of popcorn at the end of the Christmas holiday, preparing to go to the scene when the time comes. Now the buckets of popcorn are in Solim's box, which has the magic to preserve the food, and it is guaranteed to be hot when the time comes out.

Solim was just about to lie down when Snape unexpectedly appeared.

"Get dressed, the headmaster wants to see you. Seeing that Solim was stunned, Snape repeated it.

Solim came back to his senses, "Dumbledore wants to see me?now?".

Solim took a deep breath, he knew it would come sooner or later. He had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

"Professor, wait a minute, I'll get something. "Solim knew Dumbledore would find him sooner or later. Solim didn't believe that Filch would not notice Dumbledore, and it was more important for Dumbledore to determine if Solim would have an impact on his plans.

Solim is fundamentally different from most of the other students at Hogwarts. Solim didn't believe that Dumbledore would not investigate him, and with Dumbledore's status, there was nothing to hide from him, whether it was what he did in Sculle, or the black glove duel, or every move in Hogwarts.

Solim took a few things from the box and followed Snape out of the common room.

"Professor, I've got my stuff, how about starting the semester when it's over?" There were no portraits hanging in the hallway outside the Slytherin common room, and Solim wasn't worried about being heard.

And Solim felt that it was too stupid to just follow without saying a word.

"Don't talk about it here!" Snape stopped Solim, "follow me honestly, don't talk nonsense." "

"There's no need to be so nervous, Professor. Solim took two quick steps, alongside Snape. "Because of this, Headmaster Dumbledore must know. "

Without waiting for Snape to speak, Solim continued, "Because that item is a very special item, Headmaster Dumbledore will want to know some of the stories about it. "

For the rest of the journey, no matter what Solim said, Snape stopped talking. Solim was very boring, but Solim could imagine Snape's current mood, and it was inevitable that he would be agitated when he saw that he was about to meet the woman he loved. Solim reckons that when Snape was lying in bed, he thought about meeting Lily Evans: what he should say first and what Lily's reaction would be.

Truth be told, Solim had been to the eighth floor, but it was to see the legendary Room of Requirement. And the hallway outside the headmaster, Solim, was here for the first time.

But as with women's clothing, there are only zero and countless times.

Solim felt that he might come to this place more often in the future.
