Chapter 224 It’s Christmas Again

"So you must have understood everything that was said above, right?" Les changed the subject.

Daphne certainly didn't understand.

The note was written in Latin by Helga, and considering that it was intended for Salazar, the content was also quite obscure - she didn't do it on purpose, but because the starting point of the two was too high, what seemed like common sense to them was like a heavenly book in the eyes of the young wizards of later generations.

Seeing the clear stupidity in Daphne's eyes, Les understood immediately. If she could understand it, she wouldn't have come to him to ask questions in such a short time.

"Ah..." He grabbed a roll of parchment and a quill on the table, and then quickly translated the text in the Hufflepuff notebook and annotated it.

He wrote very quickly, and in just over ten minutes he wrote a new textbook that was three times longer than the original Hufflepuff manuscript.

"Here, you can take a look at this version first." Les handed Daphne what he had written, which was mixed with a lot of his own experience and insights.

"Amazing!" Seeing that Rice wrote a simplified version of the "textbook" with great speed, Daphne couldn't help but applaud him.

"My family has a senior who wrote a simplified version of the textbook. I just memorized it." Rice made up a lie. He felt that it was only a matter of time before his identity was exposed in front of the Greengrass sisters, but it was not a big problem.

Anyway, he would still tell the truth to the children when they grow up. He didn't tell them now because he was afraid that the children would be careless and spread the news to the whole school the next day. Second, he was afraid that the two girls would become spoiled.

Don't come up with a dark demon who said, "I started killing people when I was twelve years old. My master told me, 'Child, it's okay. You can kill whoever you want because you are a Slytherin apprentice'." That would be very embarrassing.

Slytherin College has Voldemort, which has already made him lose face. He can still blame himself for the fact that he has been "dead" for nearly a thousand years and his descendants have not been able to inherit his spirit. If there were a few more Dark Lords while she was alive, she would be too embarrassed to speak when Godric and the others asked about it.

Daphne's current state is: "Everything you say is right, Les", she is too lazy to argue with him.

If there is only one mystery about a person, others will definitely find a way to see through it, but if a person is surrounded by countless mysteries, others will be less interested in getting to the bottom of it.

Holding the textbook written by Les, Daphne left - she had a lot to do.

Time passed quickly, and after Halloween, Christmas seemed to come in the blink of an eye.

The snow was white, dyeing the castle, the forbidden forest and the black lake the same color. All the students huddled in the common room and did not go out unless necessary. Any little wizard who entered or left the common room without closing the door in time would receive countless death stares.

Les put Ravenclaw brought the things that he asked him to bring to Hermione, and then he didn't get involved in Rowena's teaching any more. Hermione did not disappoint Ravenclaw's high expectations, and she successfully replicated a lot of potions according to the formula alone.

The "Founder's Letter" was mailed soon. Rice handed the three precious letters to Gemma, and Gemma told him the location where the dust was found as agreed. But while informing the location, she also begged Rice to call her before exploring the location to avoid accidents.

Rice naturally would not disappoint the kindness of the senior sister and agreed to Gemma's request.

Before the Christmas holiday, the duel club was held as usual, and the theme of this time was "Obstacle Spell". But what the students are most looking forward to is obviously not some spell teaching. , but a student duel. Of course, the record holder of the highest winning streak this time is still Daphne. And because Gemma Farley went up first to fill the hole this time, Daphne almost killed randomly.

The perfect combination of attack magic and defense magic made the little wizards of Hogwarts completely lose their temper, and even the seventh-grade students couldn't do anything to her. In the end, if Daphne hadn't voluntarily given up, the duel meeting that day might not have been able to proceed smoothly.

The reason why Daphne didn't want to fight was also very simple: when she won thirteen consecutive victories, she saw the faint smile on Les's face in the audience. She suddenly felt a phantom pain in her abdomen, and the pride in her heart disappeared immediately.

Yes, what's the point of bullying these "primitives" here? What does it mean? Les came up and defeated all the opponents, and so did she. Thinking of this, she gave up and walked off the duel stage.

Her decision made many seventh-year students quite regretful - it was a bit counterintuitive, but these young wizards who were about to graduate wanted to fight with Daphne from the bottom of their hearts, because it was really interesting, novel, and they could even make some progress.

At the end of the duel competition, Professor Flitwick announced to everyone that the champion's prize would be distributed on Christmas - combined with the prize of the previous champion.

This whetted the appetite of many people, and the young wizards speculated what the prize was, which was so mysterious. But Professor Flitwick was very tight-lipped, and no matter how the students tried to get him to say something, he didn't leak a word.

After the duel club's rally, the Christmas holiday began. The castle was empty all of a sudden. After all, most students wanted to go home and spend the holidays with their families.

Daphne and Astoria were no exception, but they also wanted to spend the holidays with Les.

So the two sisters began to ask Les about his Christmas plans several weeks in advance, and hinted to him that Greengrass Manor would be very interesting during Christmas.

"There are thousands of Christmas trees in the manor!"

"The gift packages on the trees can be opened, and there are all kinds of exquisite gifts inside!"

"The grand banquet, the delicacies are all there, and the wine is almost like water. It is said that Dad invited chefs from more than a dozen countries this year."

"In order to hold this grand ceremony, my father emptied a treasury!"

Although Greengrass Manor would hold a grand Christmas dinner in the past to entertain various branches and in-laws of the family, it has never been as grand as this year.

The reason is very simple. The "Slytherin manuscript" contributed by Mr. Henry has won him a huge reputation. Now is a good time to hold an extremely extravagant banquet to celebrate.

For the sake of the family, Mr. Henry has no choice. This is also the "hardship" of the pure-blood nobles, that is, knowing that these actions will cost a lot of money, they must do so in order to maintain their dignity.

Of course, the benefits of successfully holding such a banquet are also huge. The Greengrass family will continue to maintain a super high style, and Mr. Henry himself will accumulate amazing political capital-enough to influence the replacement of the Minister of Magic.

After being promoted by Daphne and Astoria, Les couldn't help but feel a little moved: He also loves the hustle and bustle!
