The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

On the “ultra-express” train at Hogwarts—of course, the ultra-express train, sixty to eighty kilometers per hour, who would call it an express train?

Draco with his three attendants was looking for Solim in one carriage after another. Hermione was doing the same with Neville, they couldn’t contact Solim during the holidays, got on the train and were about to ask Solim what had happened.

But they were destined to find Solim, because the person they were looking for didn’t get on the train at all. Solim couldn’t stand wasting seven or eight hours in vain, just sitting on the train and doing nothing, there was no way to enter school, Solim flew to Hogsmeade through the fireplace in Diagon Alley this time, there was such a convenient and time-saving way. Solim wouldn’t be stupid enough to squeeze the train. Although the experience of using Floo is terrible, Solim is more receptive to it than wasting seven or eight hours on the train.

This Christmas holiday Solim is very satisfied, his sister’s affairs have settled, it is no surprise that Silna will be able to go to school at Hogwarts next semester, but the next semester is a little dangerous, but Solim is not too concerned, as long as he doesn’t run around and go with the army, nothing will happen, and then explain it clearly to Silna.

The gift given by Gilvis to Solim was so generous that in the end, at Elrond’s strong request, Solim took the Enchanting Potion towards the end of the Christmas holiday. In Elrond’s words, the most precious things are given to those who need them most.

Silna is not in any trouble, and no one will do anything to her. But Solim is different, the Richie family and some wizards who want to see the face of the Richie family are Solim’s enemies, and the urgency of increasing strength is much higher for Solim than Silna, in view of this situation, it is more appropriate to give the enchanting potion to Solim.

After all, in Elrond’s view, Silna is a girl after all, and a girl is going to marry after all. Moreover, in the wizarding world, witches rarely participate in battles, and fighting, sending death and so on are basically the responsibility of male witches. Therefore, even if Silna becomes a great wizard in the future, her strength will only be good-looking, and it will basically not be useful.

But Solim was different, he was a boy, whether he was illegitimate or not, he was always a member of the Selwyn family. And when Silna marries, she is no longer a member of the Selwyn family. Although it is really annoying to say that sons are preferred and interests are maximized, the general environment of the entire wizarding world is like this, and it is understandable that Elrond would consider it this way.

At the opening dinner, Draco had been bragging to Solim about Lucius Malfoy’s reward for him: Malfoy would sponsor the Slytherin Quidditch team’s seven halo wheels next semester. The reason was because Draco returned home and showed Lucius the silent casting of the Disarming Charm, which shocked and excited Lucius. The Malfoy family was not ashamed of their ancestors, cultivated a genius like Draco, and the glory of the revival family was just around the corner, and in excitement agreed to Draco’s request: sponsor the Slytherin Quidditch team.

Seven light wheels are not cheap.

If the ordinary sweeping series is the old Jetta, the Comet series is Poussin, then the light wheel series is BMW. The price of seven light wheels can only be borne by a pure-blood wizard like Malfoy. You see that the Weasley family doesn’t even have a slightly better broom, it’s all sweeping Samsung and Comet 140 that are about to be scrapped, which are almost antiques. It’s not hard to understand why the students reacted so much when they learned that Slytherin had seven light wheels in their second year.

“Halo 2000?” Solim wasn’t interested in Quidditch or broomsticks, but that didn’t stop him from knowing some of the basics.

“No, no, no,” Draco shook his finger proudly, “it’s Halo 2001, it’s said that it’s not on sale yet, it will be a few months away, but next year our academy will definitely be able to use it.” ”

“By the way,” Draco suddenly said to Solim in a very strange tone, “My father said that it is very difficult to contact you like you Selwyn, isn’t it?” ”

Solim knew what was going on without thinking, Draco must have contacted him during the Christmas break, but the owl of an outsider would definitely not be able to get close to Selwyn Castle. Don’t look at Solim sending a letter to Elrond at school, he knows what to do so that the owl is not expelled.

The house-elves of the Selwyn family have a daily task of expelling all owls that fly to the castle, as long as they do not carry a special emblem, the owls will be expelled if they cannot approach the castle.

Don’t think it’s just to show how tough the Selwyns are – it’s a defensive measure.

The yelling letter, as long as it is a wizard, knows this thing, it seems that receiving the yelling letter is nothing. But what if the yelling letter is not a human voice? What if the sound of mature mandrakes is included? Whoever hears it is going to die. Killing people with roaring letters containing the cries of mandrakes is nothing new.

After the dinner, Solim was stopped by Filch. After listening to Filch’s words, Solim did not say anything for a long time.

Snape’s potion did work for Filch, it was something that had already been established. But as time went on, some questions also emerged, that is, Filch is too old, he is different from those little squibs, even if children seal their own magic, but they are still young, how much magic can they have? A few bottles of potions will solve the problem. But how old are Filch? Can his self-sealing magic be compared to those children?

Those potions can indeed free up some of Filch’s magic, but these are still in a self-sealed state of magic more than the magic that Filch can use. And in order to activate these magic powers that are still in the sealed state, you must continue to take Snape’s potion.

But when Solim and Snape confirmed that the potion worked, they left Filch alone. So now Filch can use a little bit of magic. After all, Snape was not warm-hearted, he was too lazy to care about this kind of thing, so Filch could only come to Solim.

What makes Solim struggle now is whether to leave Filch alone or not? You know, those potion materials are precious, a bottle is almost fifty galleons, and the magic condition in Filch’s body requires at least a dozen courses.

“Argus,” Solim pondered for a moment, but still spoke: “I know your situation, you want potions, but you have to pay for this material yourself, and you know my situation, there is no money, the potions you used to drink were all paid by Professor Snape himself, if you can provide materials, I think I am still willing to help you.” ”

Solim said that if you can provide materials or the cost of purchasing materials, you can still talk about it. Snape definitely won’t care about this matter, do you want to let me, a poor bastard, help you out of my own pocket?

Is Filch rich? There must be a little, but with his level at Hogwarts, the salary is certainly not much. But considering that Filch has worked at Hogwarts for so many years, as long as he does not spend lavishly, his savings should still be considerable. Although there is no five insurances and one housing fund, Hogwarts is covered with food, and there is no need to pay electricity bills. There was nowhere to spend nearby other than Hogsmeade, so Solim thought that Filch’s savings should be quite large, but it was definitely not enough to completely free his whole body of magic.

Temporarily dismissed Filch, Solim finally returned to the Slytherin common room. Solim knew that the next highlight of the year was the Treasure Protector Battle.

For this, Solim also went to the city to buy a few buckets of popcorn at the end of the Christmas holiday, ready to see the scene when the time came. Now the buckets of popcorn are in Solim’s box, which has the magic of preserving food, ensuring that it will still be hot when it is taken out.

Solim was just about to lie down when Snape appeared unexpectedly.

“Get dressed, the headmaster wants to see you.” Seeing Solim stunned, Snape repeated again.

Solim came back to his senses, “Dumbledore wants to see me?” Right now? ”

Solim took a deep breath, he knew that sooner or later he would come. He had been mentally prepared for this for a long time.

“Professor, wait a minute, I’ll get something.” Solim knew that Dumbledore would look for him sooner or later. Solim did not believe that Filch would not notice Dumbledore’s attention, and it was more important for Dumbledore to determine whether Solim would have an impact on his plans.

Solim is fundamentally different from most of the other students at Hogwarts. Solim also did not believe that Dumbledore would not investigate him, with Dumbledore’s status, Solim’s affairs were afraid that there was nothing to hide from him, whether it was what he did in Sgulle, or the Black Glove duel, or every move at Hogwarts.

Solim took a few things from the box and honestly followed Snape out of the common room.

“Professor, I got the things, and the semester will start, how is it?” There were no portraits hanging in the hallway outside the Slytherin common room, and Solim didn’t worry about anyone listening to him.

And Solim felt that it was too silly to follow along without saying a word.

“Don’t say it here!” Snape stopped Solim, “Come with me honestly, don’t talk nonsense.” ”

“There’s no need to be so nervous, Professor.” Solim took two quick steps, side by side with Snape. “Because of this matter, Headmaster Dumbledore must know.”

Without waiting for Snape to speak, Solim continued, “Because that item is a very special item, and there are some stories about it, Headmaster Dumbledore will want to know. ”

For the rest of the journey, no matter what Solim said, Snape stopped talking. Solim was very boring, but Solim could imagine Snape’s current mood, seeing that meeting his beloved woman was imminent, and it was inevitable that his mood would stir. Solim estimated that when Snape was lying in bed, he didn’t think much about meeting Lily Evans: what he should say in his first sentence, and what Lily’s reaction would be.

To be honest, Solim had been to the eighth floor, but it was to see the legendary Room of Requirement. Solim, the hallway outside the principal’s room, was the first time he had come.

But as with women’s clothing, there are only zero and countless times.

Solim felt that he might come to this place often in the future.
