Admiral of Hogwarts

At twelve o'clock at midnight, the band stopped playing, and everyone gave them a last round of applause and started walking toward the foyer. Many people wish the prom could be extended a little longer, as it is their happiest night since entering school.

On the second day of Christmas, everyone got up very late, and people were talking nonstop, interrupted by yawns from time to time.

Hermione's hair became messy again, and she used her shipgirl powers to make her hair smooth before attending the ball. But in order to avoid others being suspicious, she can only make her hair smooth little by little every day.

After breakfast, Hugo and Hermione went to Hogsmeade Station with other students. Due to the Yule Ball this year, the school opened an extra Hogwarts Express to send students after Christmas. Let's go home.

As for Firefly and Veneto, they stayed in the school because the shipgirls felt that this way they could protect their relationship and avoid being discovered by interested people who would take the opportunity to do bad things.

After getting on the bus, they found that because many lower-grade students had already left, Hugo and the others found that the compartment was very empty, and even the two of them could occupy a private box to themselves.

"What do you think they found in Massachusetts?" He pulled out his wand. After casting a few spells to confirm that everything in the carriage was safe, Hermione asked curiously. "You actually asked us to come over so urgently for Christmas."

For Hermione, if Massachusetts hadn't sent out an impromptu invitation to invite everyone over, she would have preferred to stay in school and read books this Christmas.

"I don't know, because they said they wanted to give me a surprise." Hugo shrugged and said, "But judging from their tone, this discovery is definitely subversive——"

After the two of them sat together for a while and speculated about what the ship girls had discovered, a thumping sound came from the window. It turned out that an owl was flying outside the window holding a newspaper.

"The Daily Prophet I ordered earlier has arrived." Hermione said, opening the window of the train, letting the owl in, and then unfolded the newspaper. But when she first read the newspaper, she exclaimed.

"Is the news today very exciting?" Hugo said and moved to his sister's side, then looked at the newspaper in his hand, and was shocked by the headline on the front page.

"Harry Potter's orientation is a mystery. Why is he a brother and then a sister?" 》

"The love-hate relationship between the Boy Who Lived and his pureblood family." 》

Below these seemingly shocking titles are two photos, one of which shows Harry and Ginny holding hands walking down a rose-covered path in the garden, and the other showing Ron sitting alone. Beside a round table at the dance venue.

"Sure enough, this is written by that Rita Skeeter guy again." Quickly turning to the end of the article, Hermione saw the words written there, written by our reporter Rita Skeeter. "This guy is just worried that the world will not be in chaos."

"No way, the Daily Prophet also needs to eat." Hugo said after glancing at the official article about the Christmas Ball on the third page of the newspaper.

"I have heard from others that the Daily Prophet was not like this more than ten years ago. But since Fudge came to power, a lot of funding has been reduced in order to make the economic data look good, including the funding for the Daily Prophet. "

"With no choice but to start, the Daily Prophet can only try to operate commercially, and the prerequisite for such operations is to have enough subscribers so that it can make enough money."

"Obviously, not many people are willing to order the newspaper just to forward the Ministry of Magic's announcements like in the past. So the newspaper organizers can only make the style of the newspaper close to the style of "The Sun", and Rita Skeeter is also that It’s time to be famous.”

"I understand. To put it bluntly, it's all about money." Hermione glanced at the newspaper in her hand and shook her head. "At least compared to the news that officially broadcasts the game, this kind of news with one picture at the beginning and all the content is made up is more eye-catching."

"That's right, but we should also feel lucky." Hugo pointed to the news about the game in the corner of the newspaper. "At least Veneto is less topical than Harry, so the other party didn't stare at her and make up random news. .”

By lunch time, almost everyone around knew about Rita Skeeter's new report. When Hugo went out to buy lunch, he heard the same content being said in every box.

Finally, the train entered King's Cross Station in the heavy snow. When Hugo and the others left the station, Reputation was already waiting for them at the station door.

Because Hugo and the others had previously said they would not come back for Christmas, the Grangers simply took this opportunity to travel to Southeast Asia. Since there was no one at home, Hugo and the others went straight to Hood's house.

"Can you tell me what they did in Massachusetts?" Hugo asked his head maid in the car. "I only know that since the Soviet Union and the others have done everything, the United States has become our largest resource outflow point."

"Actually, this is the result of everyone's joint efforts, which includes a series of extremely complex experiments." Sheng Sheng said while driving the car. "If this project is ultimately successful, we could change the course of the entire planet's history."

"The historical process of the entire planet!" Hermione's eyes suddenly widened. "Is it really that important? Of course, I'm not saying I don't believe everyone, but this news is really shocking."

"Actually, I had the same idea as you before I understood those situations." At this point, Shengsheng shook his head, with an expression of disbelief on his face.

"But the fact is that they have achieved unprecedented achievements. To be honest, I took a look before, and it can be said that even the preliminary achievements now are far beyond my previous imagination."

After being told this by Reputation, Hugo and Hermione suddenly became interested. So after entering Hood's mansion, they just ate some of the dinner prepared by Hood and then used the sub-dimensional to cross the Atlantic and come to America.

When they came out of the sub-plane, Hugo and the others discovered that they did not appear in New York, the core of the East Coast of the United States, or Los Angeles, the core of the West Coast.

"What is this place?" After seeing the buildings around him, Hugo showed a confused expression. Because from the surrounding environment, this place seems to be a city located in the inland Gobi Desert.

"We are now in Mexico. This place is a small city less than 30km away from each border in Mexico." Reputation simply introduced. "And our secret laboratory is now located in the Gobi hills outside the city."

"This is mainly for concealment and safety, because we are not the only ones in this laboratory, but there are also many people from forces that have been taken over by the ship girls."

"In addition to wizards, these personnel also include squibs and even ordinary people." Shengming explained as he walked out of the room and opened the door of a car in the yard for them to get in.

"This is clearly a public breach of confidentiality laws, so we have to be careful."
