The Rise of the Muggles at Hogwarts

...

And it was not far from the hut where the two were discussing.

In another relatively cozy little house, Ms. Atropos was teaching Anthony how to open his third eye.

Although Anthony didn't want to become a wizard, he had the privilege of being the only first-year wizard in the entire Hogwarts who could leave Hogwarts for Hogsmeade on Saturday.

He still held back and did not reject this so-called prophetic teaching of becoming.

Only in this way could he patiently listen to Atropos talking about those fascinating things.

What third eye?

What horoscope?

What fate?

Anthony's ears were calloused when he heard this. He really wanted to get up and shout with his magic wand. I'm a staunch materialist, okay!

It's a pity that these words cannot come out of his mouth.

Because this would look weird.

"Ah... Anthony, have you seen it?" Atropos suddenly exclaimed in the room.

Anthony suddenly became excited, and his originally drowsy nerves immediately became tense. There was a crystal ball placed in front of him.

The ball full of smoke is constantly changing in various shapes.

"Ah...uh...I saw..."

He kept blinking and staring at the crystal, imagining what the smoke would look like.

Hmm...that piece looks like a chicken leg.

Next to the chicken legs... looks like... an egg tart.

Um...next to the egg tarts...oh!Still a chicken leg.

This...

I'm hungry!

Ah~~~~

Think about it, think about it, Anthony.

Think about how Harry deceived Professor Sybill Trelawney later.

Suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, then coughed slightly and said, "Ahem, I saw a crisis."

"Oh? What crisis did you see?" Ms. Atropos raised her eyebrows and asked with interest.

"I see the world falling into darkness, and something important is about to happen. Right here in Northern Europe, well...something important."

Anthony's serious and solemn look successfully amused Ms. Atropos.

She reached out and touched his head, and then gently lit the crystal. Suddenly the smoke dissipated, leaving only a pure crystal ball.

"That's it for today!" she said.

"You're about to take a vacation, right?"

"Yes, ma'am." Anthony breathed a sigh of relief. Lying was a tiring job. It was finally over. He felt relieved and said, "Today is the last day. We will have a holiday tomorrow."

"Yeah!" Ms. Atropos said calmly: "Anthony?"

"What's wrong, ma'am?" Anthony, who had already stood up to leave, suddenly turned around.

"Merry Christmas!"

"Merry Christmas to you too."

Anthony's lips lifted into a wide smile.

Please, don't torture me after Christmas.

Thinking to himself, his pace couldn't help but speed up a bit. .

Then, Anthony's three steps turned into two, and he quickly escaped.

"Hmph! This little guy."

Looking at Anthony's rather embarrassed figure, Atropos, a centenarian, couldn't help but smile like a child.

She put away the crystal ball and looked out the window. The afternoon sunlight shone into a corner of the house.

"Has the snow stopped?"

Yes, the snow has stopped.

But it's still cold.

After walking out of the house, a gust of cold wind blew, and Anthony couldn't help but shrink his neck. Along the street, he looked towards the end of the street scene.

In the distance, in front of a building that looked like a dangerous building, stood an amazingly charming witch.

The black-gold hood stayed on top of her head, and her amber eyes popped out from the bottom of the hood from time to time.

Wow!So beautiful!

That face was just a glimpse, but it gave Anthony a feeling of déjà vu...

Forehead...

Don't say "déjà vu" when you see a beautiful girl. This is what Neptune is saying.

He curled his lips and complained secretly.

The girl in the distance seemed to notice Anthony's eyes. She turned her head and glanced at him, then turned and left.

After seeing the young wizard, Cang Shui silently withdrew his eyes and disappeared along the street around the corner.

And Anthony didn't take the beautiful scenery on the road to heart. Hogsmeade is the only pure wizarding village in the UK. There are many wizards coming and going every day. There is just one beautiful-looking witch. There is nothing strange about it.

Thinking to himself, Anthony walked back to Hogwarts Castle along the mountain road with his calves.

On the way back to the castle, he happened to bump into Hagrid.

He was walking towards the castle carrying a huge fir tree on his back.

Anthony didn't have much ill feelings towards the giant who had almost crushed him to death. After all, Hagrid was a good person besides being fond of raising dangerous magical creatures.

And because of Harry, he actually has a pretty good relationship with Hagrid.

So, Anthony took out his wand and immediately cast a levitating spell on the fir tree behind Hagrid.

In this way, the two of them were talking and laughing along the way. Anthony used a magic spell to help Hagrid drag the fir tree used to decorate the Christmas tree to the auditorium.

The auditorium at this time has changed drastically.

The walls were covered with festoons of holly and mistletoe, and there were a dozen towering Christmas trees all over the room, some with tiny icicles, some with hundreds of candles.

Spectacular and beautiful.

Many young wizards gathered here, saying goodbye to each other in twos and threes.

"Hi! Anthony, this way!"

As soon as he entered the auditorium, Ron yelled at him on the bench.

After parting with Hagrid, he walked towards Ron and Harry.

"Wow! Magical wizard chess."

Harry is playing wizard chess with Ron, the kind of wizard chess that can attack on its own.

Speaking of this kind of wizard chess, it is very magical.

In fact, most items in the magical world will have some "humanity" once they are endowed with magic. This is true for wands and wizard chess.

Those movable chess pieces need immense trust in their master to obey unconditionally.

In this way, the wizard can easily make them do his bidding.

Ron, because he has been using the old wizard chess for a long time, he is not only very familiar with these chess pieces, but the chess pieces also trust Ron's chess skills very much, which is the result of "running in both directions".

The other friends in the dormitory would only listen to their chess pieces when they were playing chess with Ron. If Harry was playing chess with himself, then the chess piece would probably not obey their orders.

He even makes his own moves.

In front of me, the black chess on the chessboard is killing everyone, and the white chess is already on the verge of defeat.

"What, do you want to play a game? This game will be over soon." Ron raised his head and said with a smile.

Harry's skills are far inferior to Ron's.

"no need."

Just kidding, I don’t know what level he is at?

Playing wizard chess with Ron is just looking for abuse.

As a member of the royal family, he has naturally learned this kind of chess-like game, but he has only tried it superficially, and his level is not even considered amateur.

Ron had the guidance of his grandfather, Mr. Septimus Weasley.

That person is a wizard chess master level figure.

"Anthony?"

Outside the auditorium, Hermione ran over.

She frowned and glanced at the violent game Harry and Ron were playing, then looked at Anthony and said, "How is it? Have you packed everything?"

"I have nothing to deal with."

Anthony spread his hands, but did not take his eyes away from the wizard chess.

This is an interesting thing that can be given as a Christmas gift.Especially the big guys like Mr. Harker, don’t they all like this kind of puzzle game?

"Ron, where did you buy the wizard chess set?"

"Um...you have to go to Diagon Alley for this." Ron scratched the back of his head.

"They should be sold in Hogsmeade."

"is it?"

Anthony did decide to buy a wizard's set.

This kind of stuff is very interesting, even Muggles can do it.

Unlike in the movie, where the chess pieces will knock the opponent to pieces, real wizard chess will only knock over the opponent's chess pieces and then escape from the board.

So no magic is required, just visit again next time you use it.

What made him decide to buy this expensive toy was the recent popularity of Gemini products...

Cough!

That product seems to be very popular on Christmas Eve...

Anthony didn't want to know at all why Christmas stuff was so popular, but... it just was...

The "attractive bubble" priced at one galleon sold more than 20 copies on the first day of its opening.

This makes Gemini very happy.

Of course, when they split the money, the joy on their faces quickly turned into sadness. It was Anthony's turn to be extremely happy.

With this income, his back straightened a lot.

Then had lunch.

Anthony returned to Hogsmeade Village and found the wizard chess in the Devis and Bans store at the end of the main road in Hogsmeade Village.

It's not expensive either, only six gold galleons.

That is...

It's really not expensive...

Anthony gritted his teeth and took out a few coins from his pocket like drops of blood, and then snatched the Galleons from Fred's pocket.

That kind of feeling, not to mention how sad it is...

Then he wandered around again and bought Christmas presents for Harry and Hermione.

A Christmas present from Her Majesty the Queen.

As for Ron, that guy, like his father, Mr. Arthur, likes to collect Muggle items.So he planned to pick out a gift for him after returning to London.

Back and forth, more than a dozen Galleons took action.

Anthony seemed to have lost his soul, and his whole body was exhausted.

As he walked on the street, his eyes were blurred, like a ghost.

Just wandering all the way back to the castle.

By coincidence, we also met George, who was also wandering like a ghost.

...

The two soulless bodies said hello mechanically and left.

And Anthony also returned to the Gryffindor lounge.

...

the next day.

It's officially the Christmas holidays at Hogwarts.

Early in the morning, Anthony changed into his regular clothes, had breakfast with Hermione, and then headed to Hogsmeade Station together.

It is different from rowing and walking on water in the first grade, although Anthony has not experienced it...

This time they started from the main entrance and took a carriage to the station.

There are not many little wizards on the road.

Maybe staying in school is the norm?

The empty crowd gave Anthony a comfortable ride, and he didn't have to rush to grab a seat.

Because it is very easy to find an empty compartment.

At about nine o'clock in the morning, the train started slowly.

As the scenery outside the window flew by, the distance between him and London began to shrink.

compartment.

Hermione sat opposite him, but the two didn't chat for long.

You can tell by looking at the dark circles under the little girl's eyes that cannot be wiped away.

She must have stayed up late again last night...

It should be said that Anthony rarely saw Hermione who didn't stay up late.

Hermione!

God who stays up late!

Either I am staying up late or I am on my way to stay up late.

That kind of diligent look makes people's hair go crazy.

She fell asleep not long after getting in the car, wearing a red sweater, a black robe and a scarf around her neck.

Anthony didn't bother her either.

He simply leaned on the chair and looked out the window at the speeding scenery.
