Hogwarts starts with stealing power.

There was a round of boos from the Slytherin stands.

Although most of them were not feeling well, they still had the energy to watch the game and all agreed that the team was not in good shape today.

The Gryffindor team was also a little confused.

The pass just now was very ordinary, without any technical content, it just passed by Slytherin.

Originally they were all prepared to be intercepted, and the player who passed the ball had already turned his broomstick and was ready to provide support in the direction of Gryffindor's goal frame at any time.

Who would have thought that the Slytherin players failed to intercept it!
Instead, the Gryffindor players who were not prepared to receive the ball were in a panic and almost lost the ball.

After finally stabilizing the situation, the player easily put the ball into Slytherin's goal frame.

No technique, just straight passes.

Slytherin had at least four chances to intercept the ball. Even if they sent a player to stand on the goal frame, they could easily swipe the ball away.

But Slytherin just didn't do that.

Several times they were half a beat late in saving the ball, just one step away, but they just couldn't catch up.

Wood frowned slightly, and quickly flew to each player to convey his ideas one by one.

"I suspect Slytherin is deliberately creating confusion. He wants us to underestimate him and then catch us off guard!"

"Cheer up quickly, don't fall into Slytherin's trap, and get back on track!"

"We will use the rehearsed A formation to deal with them in 10 minutes. Do you get it?"

Every player nodded to Wood, with a serious expression and ready to go.

On the other side, here is the portable toilet next to the Quidditch stands.

Hermione has already obtained the plan for building a mobile bathroom from the house-elf, and Lin Xia will be in charge of the overall coordination.

Lin Xia first asked everyone to use the magic they would need in advance to see which spells were not used skillfully enough, and then carry out targeted solutions.

Half an hour had passed after using every spell.

Lin Xia looked up and saw that there were more wizards queuing in front of the bathroom.

Draco couldn't help but remind her: "I saw Percy in the distance looking towards us frequently. We didn't make any movement. He might be dissatisfied with our efficiency."

Lin Xia said calmly: "If he is dissatisfied, let him keep it to himself, or he can personally lead us to build a mobile toilet."

Ron curled his lips. "How could he possibly do this himself? He can just let us do the construction so that he can be a hands-off manager. If the construction is not fast enough, he can report to the professor that we are not putting in enough effort."

Lin Xia said, "Okay, let's build two mobile toilets at once. The team will be divided into two rows. I say what magic to use, and you will follow suit."

She went to check out the location: "One line of people is standing here, and another line of people is standing there."

Hermione was a little worried: "Isn't it a bit risky to build two at once?"

Lin Xia smiled and said, "No, we have already used the magic in advance and found out what we don't know. There won't be any mistakes during the official construction this time."

In her eyes, there are two keys to building a mobile toilet.

One is that magic must be used accurately.

Eight magic spells are required to build a mobile bathroom. If someone casts an incorrect spell, it will cause damage to the entire construction.

Another thing is the timing of construction.

Do it step by step, don't be too slow or too fast, otherwise it will affect the forming and shaping of the mobile bathroom.

Lin Xia did not stand in one of the teams, but stood in the middle of the two teams.

She waved her wand and uttered the first spell: "Dig up the swamp."

The wand was waved forward, and a dark green light emanated from the tip. This light split into two rays in the middle and landed in two different places.

At the same time, the wizards of the two teams heard the slogan and waved their wands, chanting: "Dig up the swamp!"

The next second, a dark green light condensed at the tip of each team's wand. They gathered these rays of light together and dropped them to the designated place.

Soon, two empty patches of grass were dug out of the mud.

The little wizard who was queuing couldn't help but exclaim.

"What are they doing? This is the first time I've seen a group cast a spell, and it's so magnificent and magical!"

"It seems like they are building another mobile toilet for us?"

"Can I get involved, but I'm worried about my magic accuracy?"

Before the young wizard could finish his discussion, Lin Xia made her second move. She waved her wand and calmly said, "Rocks and flying sand!"

A gray light condensed from the tip of her wand, flew into the air, and then split into two streams and landed on the ground in two places.

The other two teams followed her lead and shouted in unison: "Rocks and flying sand!"

The huge stones, small pebbles, and some clay scattered around the grass flew out under the effect of magic, and then landed on two designated places on the ground, and began to take shape under some kind of force.

Everyone consciously controlled the force of the flying rocks and sand, turning it into a modular reinforcement spell.

During this period, Ron's spell casting speed was a bit slow and he couldn't keep up with the main force.

But once the rocks and sand fell into the designated place, they began to move along with a huge force, and Ron did not need to expend any effort to control them.

He was stunned for a moment, almost thinking that his accuracy in the spell had improved again.

It was only when Hermione rolled her eyes at him and Ron touched his nose in embarrassment that he stopped being so self-indulgent.

He looked at Lin Xia who was standing in front of him, and felt that it was probably Lin Xia who was controlling their spell and directing it towards the designated place.

Ron muttered quietly: "We are all wizards, but why is there such a big gap between us?"

A few minutes later, an enclosed cube space appeared in front of everyone.

The little wizards in the queue exclaimed "Wow" again.

Although the wall has been built, it does not mean that it can be put into use. There are still many details that need to be refined, the most difficult of which is the space extension spell.

They need to expand the basic space by another 100 square meters of usable space.

Yes, Lin Xia plans to build more toilets so that there will not be a shortage of little wizards.

If you don't review the spells in advance, but start practicing as soon as you get the step-by-step diagram, all kinds of problems will probably arise.

But under Lin Xia's coordination, the mobile toilet was set up with great efficiency. On the other side, a strange scene occurred on the Quidditch field.

Lee Jordan's commentary became increasingly excited, with a magic microphone in his hand.

This is a prop specially made for him by the Weasley twins. Whenever he shouts out the name "Gryffindor", the microphone will automatically explode with golden fireworks, which is very cool.

At this moment, the fireworks exploding from the microphone seemed to be burying Lee Jordan.

"The Slytherin Seeker actually collided with the Gryffindor Seeker. It was obvious that the Slytherin Seeker wanted to turn, but for some reason, the broom did not listen to him and collided head-on with Gryffindor. Slytherin committed a foul and Gryffindor took another free throw!"

With a "bang", the microphone exploded into a golden firework, making Lee Jordan covered in gold.

Lee Jordan couldn't help but reach out to push away the fireworks, and he had to throw some of them out, otherwise he would have no place to sit.

While doing these actions, he did not forget to observe the situation on the field and shouted excitedly:

"Goal! Gryffindor scored a free throw! Even though today is the final, Gryffindor played in their own style and made the Quidditch field their home court. Let's cheer for Gryffindor - 120:10, Gryffindor is leading by a large margin!"

"Bang bang bang bang!"

The microphone blasted out four golden fireworks in succession. Lee Jordan couldn't help but shook the microphone, and the fireworks were thrown out because of this action.

Because the commentary stand was at a relatively high position, the fireworks were floating in the air, slowly falling to the ground, and were scrambled for by the little wizards in the stands.

Suddenly a gust of wind blew, and the fireworks that were floating downwards floated upwards under the influence of the wind, and actually mixed into the Quidditch field, becoming an obstacle of not too small a size.

The Slytherin team immediately complained.

Madam Hooch couldn't help but blew a whistle and suspended the game for 5 minutes.

She ran to negotiate with Lee Jordan, asking him not to spray plum blossoms into the air anymore, otherwise he would not be able to serve as the commentator this time.

Lee Jordan had no choice but to give up the special microphone of the Weasley twins, take out the normal microphone, and continue his emotional commentary.

"The situation on the field is now very unfavorable to Slytherin. According to Slytherin's previous methods, they will start to find faults from other places, such as fouls, or complaints on and off the field. Our Gryffindor students and team must be careful!"

"Shh!"

There was another round of boos from the Slytherin stands, they were extremely dissatisfied with Lee Jordan.

Even the Slytherin players on the field glared at Lee Jordan. If they were not feeling unwell, they would definitely control the Quaffle to hit the commentary stand and force Lee Jordan to shut up.

"Captain, can we apply for a timeout? I really can't bear it anymore."

A Slytherin player quietly flew to Marcus Flint's side and said with a grim expression.

Marcus glared at him fiercely. "You knew you had a game today, so why didn't you pay attention to your diet? It's not even time to ask for a break yet, so hold back on the potion!"

Most of the players looked unhappy.

In order to cope with the exam, they all drank the [Wisdom Potion].

Originally they didn't want to drink, but when they saw everyone else drinking, they couldn't help but drink too, for fear of being at a disadvantage in the exam.

If they had gone to the infirmary for help yesterday, their health would not be so bad today. But they couldn't stand the strange smell in the infirmary yesterday and chose to hold it in. They didn't expect that the side effects would erupt today.

Some Slytherin players thought: This is definitely a conspiracy of Gryffindor, the Weasley twins set a trap for them from the very beginning!

Damn it, they resorted to despicable means off the field in order to win the Quidditch championship!

This group of people didn't think about it. If they didn't have a lucky mentality, they wouldn't take the [Wisdom Potion].

Even if we ask them to admit that they took the [Wisdom Potion] now, they won’t admit it.

If they admit it, doesn't that mean they had no confidence in the exam and used cheating methods?
The Slytherin players could only hold it in in the end.
-
During a Quidditch match at Hogwarts.

There has been a new change in Hogsmeade, the village closest to the castle.

Today is Christmas Eve, and Hogsmeade village is not blocked. Instead, it is welcoming countless tourists who come from all directions to attend the banquet and watch the magical fireworks.

The streets, which were deserted a few days ago, are now crowded with tourists.

"Hey, did you go to the Three Broomsticks? The Butterbeer there is amazing, and so is Ms. Rosmerta, the owner.

I only saw her wearing a purple veil. I really want to see what she really looks like behind the veil. She is so mysterious and elegant... I heard that she can also read Tarot cards for people, but she needs some gold galleons."

"I didn't go to the pub, I just went to Honeydukes and bought my kids lots of sweets, the window display was full of jumping chocolate frogs, fizzy honey candies and bloody lollipops.

They also launched a relatively new magic tattoo candy, which can be made into the shape you want. After eating it, a tattoo will appear on your body, which can last for a day!"

"Haha, I went to the Zonko Joke Shop. My kids love this shop the most. They sell all kinds of prank props."

……

Every visitor who came was laughing and talking happily, and the Hogsmeade village was specially decorated, creating a very festive atmosphere.

All the triangular pointed-roof houses in the village are covered with snow, like miniature models in a crystal ball, and the renovated shops are hung with ice crystal pendants.

Honeydukes, as one of the larger shops in the village, has placed many color-changing candles around its green wooden door, which rotate around the door.

The window is filled with jumping chocolate frogs, as if waving to every passerby and welcoming them in.

The streets were filled with the aroma of hot cocoa, and from time to time someone would light magical fireworks during the day.

Although the colors of the magic fireworks are very light during the day, just listening to the sound of them exploding at that moment will make people happy.

On the surface, everyone seems to be talking and laughing, but if you look closely, you will find that those seemingly enthusiastic tourists are actually looking around out of the corner of their eyes, and they will inadvertently reveal a vigilant look.

These tourists, who apparently spoke the loudest, were Aurors specially hired by the British Ministry of Magic.

Some of them have retired, while others have been assigned to long-term overseas missions. They all have one thing in common: they are all new faces.

This group of people who deliberately sneaked in accounted for half of the visitor flow of Hogsmeade village, and the other half of the tourists were ordinary wizards.

The British Ministry of Magic held several meetings to discuss the issue, and ultimately concluded that it was unrealistic for Aurors to go to Hogsmeade village pretending to be tourists, as they simply did not have that many people.

Even if there were, they couldn't put all their manpower into it. What if the Death Eaters were doing it in batches and had deployed forces in other places?
Although the Ministry of Magic also allowed in ordinary tourists, the identity of each ordinary tourist had been investigated, and only those with better skills were allowed in.

Yes, this Christmas, Hogsmeade village adopted an unprecedented appointment registration.

The reason is that there have been too many visitors in recent years, causing damage to many buildings in Hogsmeade village, and stampedes occur every year, so the flow of people must be controlled.

But not all wizards play by the rules.

Some wizards did not make an appointment to register, but used other means such as invisibility spells to sneak into Hogsmeade. (End of this chapter)
