Chapter 214 The Predicted Skeleton Appears
After returning to Hogwarts, Wentworth and Cassandra went back to their dorms.
However, shortly after Wentworth returned to the dormitory, he walked out of the dormitory with a gift box in his arms, came to the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest, and returned to Hogger through the secret passage under the Whomping Willow Maud Village.
Wentworth came to an old thatched-roof cottage and knocked on the door. After a while, the door was opened from the inside, revealing a familiar face.
"Merry Christmas, Mr. Lupine."
That's right, this is Lupine's residence in Hogsmeade.
After the start of this semester, Lupine also returned to Hogsmeade village again. Every weekend, unless there is something that has to be done, Wentworth and Cedric still follow the Lupine, learn charms.
Seeing Wentworth's arrival, Lupine also showed a knowing smile, and said:
"Christmas isn't quite there yet, Wentworth."
Subsequently, Lupine introduced Wentworth into his residence.
And Wentworth responded:
"Mr. Lupine, on Christmas day, I'm going to attend the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts, and I may not be able to spend Christmas with you, so today I specially come to spend Christmas with you early!"
After speaking, Wentworth placed the gift box in his hand on the table in front of Lu Ping.
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lupine's eyes flashed with emotion. When Lupine opened the gift box from Wentworth, he found a beautifully made windbreaker inside.
And at this moment, Wentworth spoke aside and said:
"Mr. Lu Ping, please don't refuse the student's kindness at this time. You know, it really means nothing to me!"
Hearing Wentworth's words, Lupine, who was about to refuse at first, couldn't help but shook his head with a wry smile. Then, under the urging of Wentworth, Lupine rarely changed his body that hadn't changed for a long time. robe.
Looking at Lupine wearing a brand new windbreaker, Wentworth couldn't help but his eyes lit up, and he said from the bottom of his heart:
"Cool, Mr. Lupin, it's time for you to find me a teacher's wife!"
Lupine smiled and patted Wentworth on the head. When Wentworth was in pain, Lupine said seriously:
"Thank you,
Wentworth. "
Seeing this, Wentworth waved his hands again and again, and then said:
"Mr. Lupine, I haven't eaten dinner yet, you won't let me go back to Hogwarts hungry, will you?"
Lupine laughed, and said:
"I have long been ready!"
Because Wentworth had told Lupine a long time ago that he would come to visit him tonight, so Lupine had already made preparations.
Soon, a not-so-rich but absolutely warm dinner was placed on the table by Lupine. To Wentworth's surprise, Lupine even brought out a bottle of wine.
Lupine put two cups in front of himself and Wentworth respectively, and said:
"This is the special red currant rum in the Three Broomsticks, I bought it with my teeth gritted!"
Watching Lupine pour red currant rum into the glass in front of him, Wentworth also looked excited, but said in his mouth:
"Mr. Lupine, in the school rules of Hogwarts, students are explicitly prohibited from drinking alcohol!"
And Lupine said disapprovingly:
"The school rules of Hogwarts also prohibit you from sneaking into Hogsmeade village!"
In one sentence, Wentworth was speechless. Then Lupine went on to say:
"The biggest function of things like school rules is to remind you that there is still something you haven't done, isn't it?"
After Lupine finished speaking, he smiled and winked at Wentworth.
Hearing Lupine's words, Wentworth was greatly shocked, and finally understood why the strict and serious Professor Snape had been so hostile to Lupine and others during Hogwarts.
Without waiting for Wentworth to think about it, Lupine in front of him had already picked it up and was caught. Seeing this, Wentworth also quickly picked up his own wine glass, and lightly touched Lupine's wine glass.
It was not until late at night that Wentworth slipped back to Hogwarts quietly and had a good sleep.
Soon, Christmas came, and Wentworth received a lot of presents as expected, and the gift boxes almost filled half of the Hufflepuff common room.
Several Hufflepuff students who also did not go home for Christmas, looked at the mountain of presents in front of Wentworth, and couldn't help showing admiration and envy.
While Wentworth looked at the Christmas presents in front of him, he couldn't help but worry a little, when will this be dismantled.
As Wentworth continued to open the gift boxes in front of him, he found that most of them were sent by the wizards of the voodoo party. Of course, Rozier and Abel were also indispensable. A gift from Nesi and others.
In addition to gifts from members of the Witchcraft Party, there are many gifts from friends in Hogwarts for Wentworth, not only Green and Cedric, Wentworth even discovered Cass A gift from Della.
When I opened it, I found that what Cassandra gave Wentworth was a scarf. Is it just the workmanship of this scarf... It's really not flattering.
But soon, another gift attracted Wentworth's full attention.
Wentworth quietly looked at the item in his hand, the back of a skull, and even the hose of unknown material. If the skull was ignored, the item in front of him looked very similar. Hookah.
On the top of the skull, there is such a sentence engraved in German:
For the Greater Good - 1898
Obviously, this is a magic item, and Wentworth looked at the magic item in his hand, and his heart was full of turmoil.
Because at this time, Wentworth had already guessed what he was holding in his hand!
That is, what I have been hearing since the moment I crossed over - the prophesied skeleton of the Grindelwald family!
Wentworth's hand holding the skeleton even trembled a little at the moment. Then, Wentworth flipped through the gift box containing the prophecy skeleton, but found nothing. It was sent anonymously!
But seeing this, Wentworth gradually calmed down. Although it was predicted that the skeleton was sent anonymously, Wentworth had already guessed who sent it.
There will be no one else, it must be his headmaster, Albus Dumbledore!
Because just today, maybe at this moment, there is another person who will receive a magical item from Dumbledore anonymously.
The person who received the gift was called Harry Potter, and the gift he received was the invisibility cloak in the Three Hallows!
It can be said that Dumbledore is an old habitual offender.
Thinking of this, Wentworth suddenly lost his hurry, and planned to ask Dumbledore to clarify after unwrapping other presents.
But, very soon, Wentworth pulled out another letter from the pile of presents!
