Chapter 1240 wear gang

Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry adopts the closed mode of full boarding.

Therefore, for most families, they can see their children only two times a year:

Christmas vacation and summer vacation, if we compare the school time in Eastern countries, the Christmas vacation is roughly equivalent to the winter vacation of only one month.

During this month-long “trumpet” winter vacation, some Hogwarts little wizards will choose to go home, while others will choose to stay at school or go out to play.

However, this year is obviously a special situation – due to the “Castle Clearing” plan, all students must leave the castle, and parents naturally received the news in advance.

The only difference is that the Grangers and Abbots received a letter from their daughter at the same time as the letter from the Hogwarts school.

Obviously, it was naturally impossible for Hermione and others to confess in the letter that they became the “Great Arcana Reserve”, but if they wanted to stay in the castle, they still had to find a way to reassure their parents – so in Elena’s Under the “bewitching”, a few little witches gathered together and worked out a few reasons to fool their parents…

“Elena invited them to our place… for Christmas? The whole holiday?”

Benitez repeated oddly, his angular face filled with confusion.

Unlike other parents of students, the owl that was supposed to fly towards him encountered a small problem and accidentally lost the letter.

So the news he got was the same as last year, Hogwarts had a normal holiday, and Elena chose to stay at school to celebrate Christmas with her classmates.

“…Well, maybe, uh…Did they not make it clear, for example…staying at school for the holidays this year?”

Benitez hesitated for a moment, looking at the two parents in front of him with a sullen face, trying to ease the atmosphere.

“Isn’t Christmas at Hogwarts Castle pretty awesome? I heard Elena say before, they’ll have big trees, magic snowflakes, all kinds of decorations…”

“Not this year. Mr. Benitez, have you not received a letter from Hogwarts?”

Mr. Granger interrupted solemnly, looking around the castle walls, frowning recalling the contents of the previous letter from Hogwarts.

“I heard that this year happens to be the thousandth anniversary of the establishment of Hogwarts, and the castle will undergo extensive repairs, so—”

“Oh, that’s just an excuse, Mr. Granger. It’s just an improvised justification by the Ministry and the school to clear the scene.”

Mrs. Aibo shook her head, narrowed her eyes slightly, pointed to the soles of everyone’s feet, and said in a low voice unconsciously.

“There’s a basilisk lurking below Hogwarts Castle… um, a very dangerous, terrifying monster that once killed many students at Hogwarts—” She glanced at Grant, who was standing beside her. Mr. Jie, with a solemn expression, added, “I heard that they are all Muggle wizards, um, just like Miss Granger, both parents are Muggle students…”

“Wait, there are still monsters like this hidden in this castle?!” Mr. Granger’s face changed suddenly, the professor didn’t say this when he first entered the school.

“Don’t worry, it’s dead now and the report hangs in the papers for days.”

Mrs. Aibo looked at Mr. Granger, whose expression had changed drastically, and comforted her in a soft and soft tone.

“Not long ago, a Hogwarts professor discovered the hiding place of the basilisk, and immediately worked with the Ministry of Magic to formulate a battle plan to destroy the basilisk.”

“They eliminated the basilisks here this Christmas, and they cleared the field early to prevent students from being affected by the aftermath of the battle—”

“So…” Benitez frowned and said thoughtfully. “They probably didn’t spend their last Christmas holiday at Hogwarts Castle?”

“I hope not – that’s a basilisk, and that monster kills even just by looking at you from a distance!”

Mrs. Aibo said with a serious look, with a hint of fear and anger mixed in her voice.

“If they really hide in the school secretly, it can only be said that their luck this time is not bad, but if something happens, they…”

“But, um… on the other hand, if they weren’t at school…”

Mr. Granger’s face also sank, and with a gloomy face, he looked at several little witches who were still laughing and playing not far away.

“For the whole Christmas holiday, where did they go to play? This question must be clarified, otherwise I am worried that sooner or later there will be a big mess in the future.”

Under the information exchange of several parents, the lies of several little witches were easily exposed.

What followed, apparently, was almost identical anger and worry.

You know, even the eldest of the four, Hermione, just turned thirteen this year.

“Uh-uh-ah-”

Xenophilius Lovegood looked at the three parents who shared the same hatred, and opened his mouth before speaking.

As the Grand Arcana who knew the whole truth, he clearly should have done something now, but it seemed like he couldn’t do anything.

“Well, is there anything you want to say? Mr. Lovegood.”

Mrs. Aibo turned her head, looked at the editor-in-chief of “The Quibbler” who had been silent since just now, and asked curiously.

“Speaking of which, how did Miss Lovegood write to you to explain… um, sorry, I was just trying to find out if these kids were colluding—”

“Well–”

Xenophilius blinked, his eyes passing over the witch who was still playing not far away.

Obviously, it is not a wise way to criticize and criticize Elena in public.

On the other hand, it doesn’t seem right to make up a lie temporarily, or even directly fight against this black pot – if you get caught, things will only become more troublesome.

Since Lockhart temporarily resigned from the command of the “Wizard in Black”, as his replacement, he has undertaken the task of amnestics and organization secrecy.

As a rule, the best thing he can do right now is to pull out his wand and cast an Oblivion Charm at one of the other three parents, but if he does, maybe it won’t be anything from the Grand Arcana Council. Appreciation ~www.readmtl.com~ but the endless troubles from “Miss Fool”… It may even be worse, because he may not only offend Elena alone.

After all, with Dumbledore’s “active disappearance”, there are few wizards now that can check and balance that terrifying little witch.

“Actually…”

Xenophilius pondered what he said, and said slowly.

“Luna said in the letter that she wanted to accompany Elena to find monsters in the castle when no one was there… I thought about it and agreed.”

“what?!”

“Can you agree to this too?!”

“So, it really is Elena?!”

Sure enough, before his voice fell, the decibels of the other three parents instantly increased.
