Chapter 88: Power Beyond Life

Being fined fifty galleons was undoubtedly an added insult to the already poor Weslai family.

But if you think about it carefully, it's not that serious.

Both Bill and Charlie have already worked as adults. Their work is difficult and their wages are correspondingly high. The work location is far away from human settlements and the expenses are not high.

Fifty Galleons was easily enough for the two of them to pay without even a month's salary...

But the Weislai family still seems to be very poor, and the reason is very simple... They spend whatever they earn on a daily basis, and have no savings. Naturally, they will be stretched thin in the event of emergencies.

Just like in the original time and space, Arthur Weiss won the grand prize of 700 Galleons. The savings in the treasury were so pitiful that his youngest son couldn't even afford a new wand, and his daughter still used second-hand books...

A normal family suddenly has this huge sum of money. Not to mention keeping it in the treasury, at least they will not spend it lavishly.

But the Weiss family traveled directly to Egypt, and in one summer, they quickly spent most of their money, and then fell into a daily lack of money again.

Their family's difficulties are really more their own fault!

The big fight between Malfoy and Harry did not last long. Snape walked in from outside the auditorium. He waved his wand and quickly separated everyone.

"Fight!" Snape grinned and said, "That's great, Potter. Let me see how many points I should deduct from you... Professor McGonagall will like this Christmas gift when she comes back."

"It was Malfoy who caused trouble first. He just insulted Ron's family." Harry said angrily.

"What I saw was you two beating Malfoy, Goyle and Crabbe. The three of them were simply defending themselves."

"Fifty points have been deducted from Gryffindor!" Snape said in a hoarse voice: "And you, Scamander..."

Rove raised his eyebrows and said, "Professor Snape, I was not involved in the fight."

"You didn't fight, but as a classmate, you didn't take the initiative to stop the conflict, and you didn't report it to the professor..." Snape sneered and said, "Ten points for Hufflepuff."

"..."

Rolf complained. If he went to help, Snape might accuse him of participating in the fight... Regardless of the facts, of course there could always be an excuse to deduct points.

"But..." Snape suddenly changed the subject and said, "If you can give me a bottle of basilisk venom, I won't deduct points."

"..."

Rolf and Snape bargained for a while, and finally exchanged a small bottle of venom for an additional twenty cents.

Both parties feel that they are not losing money, and even feel that they are making a lot of money.

Malfoy also felt that he had earned a lot. Although he was beaten and his cheeks were swollen, he walked away proudly as if he had won a great battle.

After all, Snape deducted points from Gryffindor.

win!

"I'm going to teach him a lesson," Ron said through gritted teeth, looking at Malfoy's back. "One day, I'm going to hold his head down and teach him a lesson.

Why didn't Dumbledore fire this kind of person? It must have been Malfoy who opened the Chamber of Secrets and attacked Filch and Mrs. Pince. "

"How do you know?" Harry asked.

"Does this need to be said?" Ron coughed and said:

"Malfoy hates Muggles the most and calls them Mudbloods... Their family has been coming to Trin for generations, and they may have held the key to the secret chamber for centuries!"

Harry also agreed with this statement, and he and Ron began to think of small ideas to prove that Malfoy was the descendant of Slytherin.

But without Hermione's help brewing the Polyjuice Potion, Rove didn't know what the two would do.

Soon, the dinner began.

As it was Christmas Eve, Dumbledore did not stay at the Hog's Head pub, but returned to Hogwarts to have dinner with the remaining students.

Of course, Professor Snape was there.

Luo Fu also experienced this in his previous life at the university. He stayed at the school during the Chinese New Year, and school leaders would come to hold condolence activities.

In addition to making dumplings and talking about homely things, they also give out hundreds of yuan in lucky money, and occasionally even students from the city come to take advantage of the red envelopes.

But since the epidemic, the number of students staying in school has suddenly increased, and the school has canceled the payment aspect... What a pity!

There are not many students staying at Hogwarts this year, but the dinner is still very sumptuous:

There were fat roasted chickens, piles of barbecued meat and boiled potatoes like a hill, as well as large plates of sausages, bowls of peas mixed with butter... In addition, there were gifts such as wizard packets of firecrackers.

This kind of colorful firecracker is similar to a blind box. After exploding, different items will explode.

Rolf was unlucky and got a lot of mice, so he left them all for Mrs. Norris as a Christmas treat.

After the dinner, the young man left the auditorium alone and walked to the principal's office. He came to the gargoyle stone beast and whispered:

“Merry Christmas…ice-cold lemonade!”

"You're happy too, kid!" The gargoyle stone beast jumped aside, exposing its entrance.

Luofu walked along the spiral staircase and came to the oak door with familiarity, stretched out his hand and knocked on the door.

"Come in." Dumbledore's voice came.

Luofu pushed the door open and greeted the portraits on the wall politely:

"Headmasters, Merry Christmas."

The portraits pretending to be asleep opened their eyes one after another and greeted Rove. Phoenix even shouted loudly:

"Scamander, where's the Christmas present?"

"I didn't receive a gift from you either." Luo Fu smiled and said, "At best we can be even."

"Hey, how stingy!"

Rove ignored Phoenix and sat down on the chair. His eyes narrowed slightly and he saw a bottle containing a black substance on the principal's desk.

Dumbledore turned and walked towards a cabinet. He took out a shallow stone basin and placed it on the desk.

"Rolf, do you know what this is?" Dumbledore asked.

Rolf read the runes on the stone basin, and he translated it: "Pensive Pensieve."

"Yes, I remember that Nico started teaching you runes during the summer vacation." Dumbledore was a little surprised, and he praised: "You learn so fast."

"I'm pretty good at memory, Professor." Luo Fe grinned and pretended.

With the silverfish's magical "word devourer", Rolf's memory has indeed greatly improved, even more powerful than Hermione's.

"My memory is bad." Dumbledore said with a smile: "There are too many things in my mind, so I have to use the pensieve from time to time."

Dumbledore raised his wand and inserted the tip into his silver hair, close to his temple. When he pulled out his wand, there seemed to be some silver hair stuck to the tip.

Dumbledore threw the memory into the Pensieve, he raised the black bottle and said:

"Rolf, I told you earlier, this contains the power of fear... That man is making a being that is beyond life."

"Next, I will take you to see the whole process of making that kind of thing!"
