Chapter 45 Holidays (Revised, Typos Have Been Corrected)

Allen cleared his throat with a false cough, and reminded them of his own existence by the way: "Are you talking about Nicole Flamel?"

But apparently, several others don't think so.

Hearing that one more person mentioned this name, Hagrid looked angry; Ron was at a loss when facing Alan who suddenly appeared to him; Harry opened his mouth and wanted to ask Alan , asked him for help habitually, but was held back by Hermione.

"Mr. Harris, eavesdropping is immoral." Miss Know-it-All looked at Allen under the Christmas tree, and pursed her mouth like Professor McGonagall's favorite expression.

Seeing Hermione's reaction, Harry was very embarrassed. This news was a common secret discussed between him, Ron, and Hermione. Without the consent of the other two, Harry didn't know whether to tell Hermione about it. Len, how to deal with the situation at hand.

"I didn't eavesdrop on what you were saying, but you walked beside me and talked a lot. You see, I was just decorating these Christmas trees with Prefect Penello." Allen was confused by the other party's fierce reaction. Somewhat inexplicable and annoyed, "In addition, what I wanted to say was that I know who Nicole Flamel is, but it seems that you don't want me to participate. I can only wish you a happy holiday."

After finishing speaking, Allen shrugged, looked at the decorated Christmas tree, and walked towards the Ravenclaw lounge to prepare for a rest.

"How could he know Nicole Flamel? We've been looking for it for so long and still don't know?" Hermione was very surprised. Alan is really so good? They have searched through the book for so long and still haven't found it. Alan knows each other's deeds just by hearing his name?

Ron complained that Hermione used her aggressive attitude on Allen just now: "I told you not to try to compete with him, the real know-it-all is that he is not you, his Neptune got it through a quiz organized by the shop in Diagon Alley, and I don't think it's normal that he doesn't know Nicole Flamel."

Harry felt very annoyed and frustrated. He should have told the truth to Allen earlier, but considering that Hermione, the most powerful of the trio, had always regarded Allen as an opponent, he didn't tell the secret.

Hermione bit her lip, "I'm going to apologize to Harris."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Harry and Ron to react, she chased in the direction Alan left. Harry and Ron looked at each other and followed, but they were finally picked up by the eagle ring outside the gate of the Ravenclaw lounge Philosophical puzzles keep out.

Obviously, the Sorting Hat can never go wrong, no matter how good Hermione's grades are, it is not so easy for Hermione to answer questions that do not have standard answers. Hermione Granger's cleverness and Luna Lowe's Fugood's intelligence is not the same. The mad girl can easily answer the riddle about "fire or phoenix first", but Miss Know-it-all can't.

"Maybe we'll see him tomorrow at breakfast." Harry said hopefully.

"That's the only way to go." Hermione still decided to wait in the library. According to her observation, Alan would usually go to the library to read.

However, until the next day, when the three of Hermione went to the restaurant to look for Alan, Alan was still packing his luggage in the dormitory, and he was going to take the Hogwarts Express home for the holidays in a while. The snack mats on the table, which he asked the seniors to buy from Hogsmeade Village, would be eaten later on the train, so that they would eat more when they went home with an empty stomach for dinner— It's not that he thinks the food at home is much better than Hogwarts, it's just that he thinks his mother will be happier if he does this.

When the Hogwarts Express arrived at King's Cross Station, Alan spent almost the entire journey in the toilet, which was different from Mr. Amos Diggory's constipation—the candies Edward bought not only Explode in your mouth and explode in your stomach after the expiration date...

In the evening, Alan, who was walking a bit sluggishly, found that it was his elder brother Albert who came to pick him up.

It's just that he seemed a little distracted, and it wasn't until Alan greeted him several times that he pulled his mind back.

"Father will come home later because he has something to do, so he asked me to come." As he said, Albert rushed over and gave his brother a big hug without waiting for Allen's reaction.

"Pfft~~~" There was a sound of gas breaking through barriers behind Allen. At this time, the top student who added the most points to Ravenclaw this semester was more grateful for himself than embarrassing I pulled out everything I could just now, otherwise the fart that was squeezed out would be more than just a fart.

Back home, Ellen, who had an empty stomach, smelled the rich heavy cheesecake before he entered the house, "Mom made cheesecake!"

Alan's eyes lit up and he quickened his pace. He was influenced by his roommate Edward-men have a sweet tooth, and there is nothing shameful about that.

"Alan, you should save your stomach for things other than desserts. Mother has been preparing them for a long time." Unlike when he was on the platform just now, Albert was obviously in a good mood at this time, "Don't argue with me about the cheesecake, I After today, I still have to do tasks during the holidays, and I won’t be able to eat well for several days.”

Sure enough, the dinner was very sumptuous. Compared with the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts, although there were not so many types, it was warmer and more in line with my own taste. It felt like home. Holidays should be a day for family members , a family of seven sat at the dining table enjoying themselves.

The whole family is currently only Ellen studying at Hogwarts. Ellen's sister Daisy works with the current mother at the Mungo Magic Injury Hospital, but unlike her mother who works as a therapist in the waiting reception area, she is more promising Mother Morgan Le Fay Harris is very satisfied with the work of the Spell Damage Department.

Morgan Le Fay's second son, Lun, has recently successfully passed the internship period and is now a member of the Pest Advisory Office under the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control. This time, he returned home early this time for Allen.

Because of this, the whole family is very concerned about Alan's life at Hogwarts - only when he is working will he miss the carefree days in school. When Alan talked about his first Quidditch match, it was more Compared with the learning things he described, the members of this pure-blood family are obviously more interested in it.

"Alan's flying excellence must be inherited from me. I was an excellent Slytherin Chaser back then." Father Owen was triumphant, and patted his slightly swollen beer belly with his hands.

"Yes, it's great, Owen, you looked very handsome on the broom at that time." The Harris couple showed their affection in front of their children.

Daisy and Albert looked at each other, and their parents started to look hot again.

In the next few days, during this vacation, Alan didn't make any extra arrangements. After experiencing so much in the first half of the semester, he just wanted to have a good rest at home. He casually flipped through a few History of Magic books at home and read them as storybooks to relax. Tightened nerves. But the world is like this, and it never depends on people's will-according to Murphy's law, if things have the possibility of going bad, no matter how small the possibility is, it will always happen.

When Alan opened his eyes again, there were snowflakes falling outside. It seemed that the snow would last for a long time, and Alan's morning exercise plan had to be declared a failure. After he went downstairs to wash, he found that only he and his little sister Emily were left at home.

"Did they make an appointment to work overtime together?" Allen muttered, pouring himself a cup of hot milk. Although it seemed that the mother left in a hurry, she still prepared breakfast for her youngest son and daughter with her skillful cooking skills.

After Emily woke up, she pestered her brother to tell her the story of the moon gem. Ellen found that her little sister's hobbies became more and more strange. She used to pester him to tell fairy tales, but she grew up to love listening to detective suspense stories so quickly. age.

According to the description in Emily's book to Allen, the moon gem is a famous yellow diamond, which was first recorded in Indian history books. This gem is inlaid on the forehead of a four-handed Indian god, the Moon God. , the reason why it is named the moon gem is partly because of its unique color, and partly because of a rumor that it can perceive the will of the moon god, and the color will change with the moon's waxing and waning.

As far as Allen knows, there have been similar records in the magic world. Unlike the diamond enshrined to the gods in India, the moon gem in the magic world is a translucent gem of inferior quality, and can also perceive the influence of the moon. , hence the name Moon Gem.
