Chapter 128: Lie
Since that day when he was played by Snape, in the following days, as long as Coven saw Snape, he would send silent condemnation to him with a resentful look.
Snape did not have any remorse. Whenever he saw Coven's resentful little eyes, his mood would improve.
Even for a long time, he did not pick the bones from the eggs and deduct points from the other three houses.
...
Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, the Christmas holidays were about to arrive in the blink of an eye.
During this period of time, Hogwarts's life was very peaceful. If there were anything, it would be that in the Quidditch match, Wood, who had already been promoted to captain, had been plotted against by Slytherin and sent into the hospital.
Coven was already used to this kind of thing. Ever since Wood successfully entered the Quidditch team, he had to be sent to the hospital at least once a year in the competition.
His highest record was that he had been unconscious in the hospital for a whole week.
As friends in the same year, Coven would visit him every time and say some chicken soup for the soul* to boost Wood's morale.
[*TL Note: Chicken Soup For The Soul is a book with a collection of motivational stories. This implies that Coven is giving Woods some motivation.]
This year was no exception. After Coven learned that Wood was awake, he naturally visited the school infirmary.
Coven even knew that from this year onwards, there would be no stable time for Harry Potter to participate in the Quidditch match.
Therefore, Coven specially made an alchemy pendant for Wood. The effect was to automatically release 'Slowing Charm' to reduce Wood's injuries in future matches.
In this period of time, it was also worth mentioning that the protagonist trio and Coven had become familiar with each other.
Ever since he saved Hermione and was introduced by Ron, Hermione had regarded Coven as a pursuit target and worked even harder in learning.
She also often came to ask Coven some questions that she did not understand.
Even after Ron showed off the achievements that Coven had made in Dementor studies, she became more and more determined to put him as a target.
..
Although Spelite was assigned to Ravenclaw, she often stared at Coven, so she easily noticed Hermione's abnormal behavior.
For this reason, the little loli warned Coven fiercely that he must keep a good distance from Hermione.
In this regard, Coven felt that his recent life seemed to be a little deep and hot...
.....
The dinner party, the day before the Christmas holidays.
Coven was sitting at the side of Ravenclaw's long table, accompanying Spelite to have dinner.
At this time, the protagonist trio suddenly came over.
Under the little loli's vigilant and vigilant look, Ron and Harry gently pushed each other a few times as if urging the other to speak first.
When Hermione, who followed them, saw this, she rolled her eyes with some disgust and then quickly glanced at Spelite.
After ignoring the little loli's wariness with a clear conscience, she said to Coven, "Senior, is it convenient to ask you a question?"
"Of course." Coven was already used to the fact that Hermione often came to him for guidance. He nodded and said, "What's the problem?"
"It's like this." Hermione used her very unique look and demeanor to say in a dignified manner, "Recently, we have been searching for information on a person. The other person is likely a celebrity, but we can't find the other person's introduction for a while."
"Who is it? What is its name?" Coven asked.
However, just as he finished asking, he used his memory to guess the specific situation.
Sure enough, Hermione gave a specific name: "His name is Nicholas Flamel."
"You guys..." Coven glanced at the main character's group of three. "Why are you asking him?"
From Coven's tone, it was obvious that he knew who Nicholas Flamel was, so the three of them could not help but reveal a happy expression.
In the face of Coven's question, the three of them tacitly chose to keep it a secret.
After a moment of silence, Harry Potter, who had no use for his intelligence, quickly said, "It's like this, we accidentally heard this name before, but no one can remember more specific, so we bet who will be the first to get the answer."
Swallowing a mouthful of saliva, Harry Potter continued to lie, "But it's too long, we decided to end the bet, so we planned to find someone to ask for an answer."
Coven stared at Harry Potter for some reason.
At this time, he finally understood why Dumbledore often looked at Harry Potter with this kind of gaze. 'Obviously, knowing that the other party was lying, I will be tolerant and cooperate with you.'
After a long while, Ron couldn't help but ask, "That... Coven, do you know the answer?"
Coven retracted his gaze and glanced at the three of them again. Then, he smiled faintly. "Did any of you collect the '--"
"I have." Ron replied, "I have collected about five hundred cards."
"Well, why don't you look at the card?" Coven reminded, "Read the text description on the back of the card carefully."
Ron and the other two looked at each other, then quickly thanked Coven. They impatiently ran towards the dormitory, not even caring about the sumptuous dinner.
Staring at their disappearing backs, Coven shook his head slightly, speechless.
"Coven!" Spelite tugged at Coven's sleeve and pouted. "I don't like them!"
"Why?" Coven asked, amused.
"I just don't like it!" Spelite shook his head hard. "I feel I will get into trouble if I interact with them too much."
Coven sucked in a breath of cold air and stared at the little loli in surprise. "Then your spiritual sense is really amazing."
After receiving Coven's agreement, Spelite's expression turned from overcast to clear. A smile returned to her face, and she placed a large piece of steak on the plate in front of Coven.
...
The Christmas holidays arrived. On the day of the holidays, Coven brought Spelite back to Diagon Alley through the fireplace, celebrating the festival with Ollivander.
This was the first time he had spent Christmas with his granddaughter. Ollivander was very serious about this. Not only did he prepare a sumptuous feast in advance, but he also carefully arranged the magic wand shop.
The Christmas tree, the decorations, the magic lights, Ollivander arranged the entire magic wand shop as if it were for a child's talk room.
No matter how cold the little loli was, because of her age, it was inevitable that she still had a child's heart.
Therefore, Spelite was very fond of the arrangements made by Ollivander, as lively as a fairy.
After Christmas, Coven received a large number of new year invitations. He visited all the shops in Diagon Alley on the night of the new year and received a large number of thanks.
Three days before the start of school, Dumbledore sent a letter to Coven in advance.
The reform of Potion was finally complete. Snape successfully wrote a 'Herbology's standard ' and submitted it to the Ministry of Magic along with Coven's thesis.
The entire magic world completely exploded during this year's 1992 holiday...
