Chapter 118
“We trust your instincts! Rest assured that even if you lose money, it will be fine, and you will earn it later! The two brothers shook their heads and said.
Ever since Peter had accidentally displayed the Transfiguration In front of them last night, they felt that Peter had become more and more mysterious.
And they felt that Peter was a man who did not want to suffer losses, so they felt that either Peter really had the power of prophecy, or that he had learned important information from somewhere and was sure that Fudge would win, so he would do such a money-throwing thing!
So if you follow Peter, you will never lose!
Peter looked at the two brothers who insisted on betting, shook his head in disapproval, and did not persuade again. I just thought that the two brothers had a lot of gambling and would suffer losses in the future. It’s just that he didn’t turn on mind reading at this time, and he didn’t know the thoughts of the brothers now, otherwise he would have cried and laughed, can he say that they believed in Peter too much!
The twins took out 20 gold gallons and bet on Fudge, leaving them with only 5 gallons left! Peter looked at them wordlessly, thinking one by one, the scene when he got a hundred gallons in the future! Although he knew that they would most likely make money this time, Peter still poured cold water on him and said, “If Fudge does not succeed in running for minister of magic, you will wait to regret it!” ”
The twins didn’t care at all, laughing and giggling, and invited Peter to their house for Christmas.
“I’m afraid I don’t have time, I’ve already received a letter from home, the Queen of Christmas is going to have a banquet, and I need to go!” Peter shook his head and said, “I’ll visit your house later when I have time!” ”
“Queen! Peter, you’re going to the Muggle Royal Banquet! Several people looked at Peter in amazement, and although they had grown up in the wizarding world, they still knew the story of Merlin and King Arthur, and were very surprised that Peter could attend such a banquet.
Looking at the surprised looks of several friends, he explained: “I have a title of nobility in the Muggle world, and I am also a little related to the royal family, so I was included in the invitation list. ”
In fact, Peter was also very surprised when he received a letter from the housekeeper Welsh and his aunt, after all, their York family had not been in contact with the royal family for a long time, and they were not keen on attending aristocratic gatherings. Only this time I suddenly received an invitation to the Royal Family Christmas Dinner, and it was the Queen herself who invited Peter by name!
In modern society, the British royal family has only been a symbolic existence and has no real power, but the government still gives corresponding respect, and every year it is like taking out a part of the money from the national tax to support the royal family, so the social status of the royal family is still quite high.
His aunt Christine and the housekeeper Welsh both suggested that he agree to the invitation, and Peter was curious about the queen’s reasons for inviting him, so he agreed to the banquet.
Soon, Christmas is coming.
The Christmas holidays at Hogwarts begin before Christmas and end after the New Year. Students at the school can choose to stay at Hogwarts Castle or go home for the holidays.
Before the holidays, the deans of each college collect a list of students who will stay at the school for Christmas. However, Slytherin did not stay in school this time, and chose to go home for the holidays, so when Peter packed up his things and came out, the common room was empty, and everyone was eager to go home and reunite with his family.
Outside the castle, roommates Alan White, Cedric, and the Weasley twins were waiting for him.
“Peter, what are you doing so much?” Everyone else is done! The Hogwarts Express is about to start, so hurry up! George shouted in the carriage.
Peter quickly handed his luggage to several people in the carriage, and then jumped on it himself, explaining, “I washed my pictures with the developer potion, and it took me a while to get it!” ”
Peter sat down and pulled out a stack of photos to show them, which were all photos taken from their life and study, and after using the development potion, the people in the photos came alive! Beckon to them happily!
Several people looked at the photos with relish.
“George, you look at this one, it’s like you were when you were entangled in a big octopus, haha, it’s so funny!”
“And this one, which was taken when Filch was chasing us, Peter, when did you shoot it!” I don’t remember seeing you at that time? Fred asked in surprise as he looked at the picture.
“Peter, what are you doing with all these pictures?” The developer potion uses a lot of it! I remember a bottle of potion for 5 gallons! Cedric asked curiously, there are at least a hundred of these photos!
“I took these pictures to show back to my family. They were all Muggles and had never seen Hogwarts. Peter explained.
“Peter, you have to be careful not to let these pictures be seen by muggles other than your family!” Otherwise the Ministry of Magic will get you in trouble! Alan reminded solemnly.
“Indeed, because of the implementation of the Secrecy Act, the Ministry of Magic does not allow Muggles to know too much about the wizarding world.” Cedric explains, “If you know too much, the people of the Ministry of Magic will use the Forgetting Charm to make him forget!” ”
“My dad worked in the Muggle Abuse Division, and he often worked overtime to expose the secrets of the wizarding world to prevent some magicians from casting spells on Muggle products.” Fred followed suit.
Hearing the kind reminder from his friends, Peter nodded. He smiled and said, “Thank you for the reminder, but I’ll pay attention, and I only have my aunt and housekeeper Wales at home, and we live on the estate, so no one usually bothers.” ”
“Don’t you wonder how this carriage moved on its own?” Is it magic? George asked curiously as he looked at the carriage in action.
Everyone was intrigued by her words, and they all stuck out their heads to stare at the front of the carriage, without anything to pull, but the carriage still moved smoothly.
“Maybe these carriages are alchemical products!” Alan said speculatively.
“I have to say that it must have been a professor who had magiced these carriages. Either Professor Flitwick or Professor Dumbledore! They have a lot of magic at their disposal! George said confidently.
“These carriages are all pulled by animals, but you just can’t see them!” Listening to their various speculations, Peter couldn’t help explaining.
“Is it an invisible animal?” What is your name? How come I’ve never heard of it? Fred asked in surprise.
“The name of this animal is the Night Horse, and only those who have seen the dead can see them!” Therefore, in the eyes of ordinary people, they are invisible. Peter explained.
“I’ve heard of this animal, and legend has it that this animal is close to death, an unknown species! How could the school let this animal pull us a cart? Alan said in horror.
“Ann la-la-la- You also said that this is a legend! Peter quickly reassured, “Night Qi is actually a very docile animal, they have been living in Hogwarts for a long time, and they have not seen anyone in trouble, so don’t worry!” ”
