Chapter 139 Days Without Tom

Man is sometimes a very insensitive creature.

Someone, something, if it breaks into your life, constantly changing your habits, your mood, everything about you, yet people will only be immersed in this change.

Only when you lose it.

Then we will suddenly realize.

To search, to think, to trace the people or things that brought about these changes.

Then, find a way to get it back, or feel lost.

People who have gone further on the magic path can easily influence people at lower levels. For example, Anton to Neville, like Voldemort to Anton.

When all the research suddenly becomes slow, when there are no so many flashes of inspiration in my mind, and when the wonderfulness of the received knowledge returns to normal...

Oh, Anton is not saying that the professors at Hogwarts or the books in the library are not good, but that Professor Voldemort's classes are really good in comparison.

Anyway, Anton suddenly found that he had more time.

The usual feeling of not having enough time disappeared, and he returned to calmness. Sometimes he could even go to the Quidditch pitch to watch an afternoon's training, or hold that pink sub-dragon to ponder for hours.

Turning the wizard's eye potion into a spell, he's nailed it.

People have to find something to do for themselves. Recently, Anton began to rethink his previous imagination, and put a pair of wings on the werewolf transformation.

This is not an easy task.

Roughly splicing the magical images of werewolf and dragon wings together, it is impossible to create this thing.

Anton has not yet reached the point of invention.

He just discovered, found the inexplicable fit of the magical images of werewolves and dragon skins, and discovered the true colors of hybrid creatures of fire dragons and werewolves that may have existed in history.

Besides, even if we don't talk about werewolf wings, Anton has a special interest in flying.

From Snape flying without props or animals, to color-changing windbirds, to levitation spells, he's always been obsessed with this kind of thing.

Come to the Quidditch pitch, observe the Quaffle, observe the Golden Snitch, observe each different type of broomstick, and even observe the characteristics of each wizard driving the broomstick.

Go back to the dormitory, observe the subdragon's wings, and observe the feathers on the wings.

Sometimes I would go to the next door to visit, and go to Hagrid's house to see the fire dragon.

This is the state of Anton recently.

Reading books, studying and researching, gradually became dull.

As Anton's need for potion materials dwindled, so did Hannah and Neville, who let Anton build a third floor on top of Weasley's hut.

As a greenhouse for their cultivation of herbs.

Anton discussed with the twins, and finally everyone agreed to change the name of the base. After all, there are not only three Weasley brothers here, they officially changed their name to 'The Cabin'.

Anton and the twins' laboratory is on the ground floor, and Neville and Hannah's greenhouse is on the third floor.

The second floor is vacant.

The two second-generations who were well-born moved some things from home and arranged the second floor well.

Neville contributed a set of circular sofas and a round tea table, and a whole set of handsome oak cabinets.

Hannah brought a lot of exquisite tea sets, tea leaves, all kinds of weird decorations, and an expensive-looking clock.

In short, the second floor has become a place where everyone usually sits and chats together.

...

All the members of the hut are here today. To celebrate the renaming of the hut, everyone decided to do something meaningful.

The twins proposed to explore the abandoned sewers of Hogwarts Castle. It is said that the building underneath has several floors.

Neville proposed to go to the Forbidden Forest to find out the secret of the sudden large number of rune snakes. Recently, more and more rune snakes slipped into the castle, which frightened many people.

"You boys like danger in your bones." Hannah rolled her eyes and took out a box from her bag, "Why don't we have a game of wizard chess?"

"Wow~ this is good." Anton, who has become more and more lazy recently, waved his arms weakly on the sofa, agreeing with this idea.

"Although we are very smart..." Fred had a bitter face.

"But we have no chess talent." George wore the same pain mask.

They looked at each other and said at the same time, "Our grandpa's chess talent is only passed down to Ron."

Neville also refused, "I have never won a game of chess,"

So Hannah looked at Anton.

Anton shrugged, "I know how to play chess, but the chess I play is different from yours. I learned to walk on the lines in the middle of the grid."

"Walking on the line?" Fred said in surprise, his eyes lit up.

"Oh, that's a good idea, maybe..." George also had bright eyes.

"We can make a game of wizard chess by ourselves, without having to walk in the grid."

Hannah froze for a moment, "Put them on the lines?"

"No, no, no." Anton laughed, "What they mean is that they are not on the chessboard!"

This is a bit interesting.

"Hey!" Anton sat up straight and looked at everyone.

"Maybe we can make a three-dimensional war chess, and the map can be..." He stepped on the soft wool carpet with bare feet, walked to the window, and looked at the castle beside the Black Lake.

"The map could be Hogwarts!"

Everyone cheered up, and Neville, who had no sense of movement, was the first to come up with the idea, "There is also the Quidditch pitch. We can command chess pieces to compete on broomsticks. I have always envied Harry Potter to participate in the competition."

Hannah also had bright eyes, "Maybe it can be extended to the Forbidden Forest, and let our chess pieces act as us to take risks."

"We know all the secret passages in Hogwarts!" Fred's eyes lit up.

"Yes, we have a map, although we haven't opened it since we remembered the content." George shrugged.

"So……"

Anton withdrew his gaze from the window, and looked back at them with a smile, "Since it's a chess game, who is the enemy?"

"Evil dark wizard!" Neville answered instantly.

"A fugitive from Azkaban!" Hannah seemed to be caught in the mood of the golden eight o'clock, "His wife divorced him and raised the child alone. The criminal saw the news of his wife's death in the newspaper, Decided to escape from Azkaban and find his son who is studying at Hogwarts."

Anton raised his eyebrows, and said with some evil humor, "Maybe after he arrived at the school, he used the blood curse to find that his son was not his own, but someone from the school, so he decided to take revenge."

George frowned with disgust, "What kind of bloody plot is this?"

Fred laughed. "Yeah, someone at the school, like some administrator who looks really evil."

George thought about it, nodded vigorously, with a serious face, "It's very likely."

Everyone knew who he was talking about, and everyone laughed together.

"So this fugitive gathered a lot of dark wizards and planned to invade Hogwarts!" Neville was still entangled with the dark wizards.

So, the ideas of war chess are gathered bit by bit.

All kinds of interesting levels are written on the parchment bit by bit.

"The Chamber of Secrets Opened Quietly: The Shadow of the Fugitive." This level was proposed by Hannah.

"College Duel Tournament" and "Quidditch Tournament" are Neville's ideas.

"Whispering in the secret passage." That was George's theme.

"Wheezing from the observatory." Fred's bad taste.

They have too many ideas.

Anton also gave this war chess map a very interesting theme - a comeback.
