Chapter 72: Firecrackers with Too Much Gold
Thinking about the date of Neville's birthday learned from a first-year Gryffindor, Andrew began to prepare for the new day - he had never experienced an authentic Christmas, so he planned to experience it and get some possible inspiration.

Working in isolation will only make the story too superficial. The story should be close to life, especially for such a large festival. It would be too easy to make a fool of oneself if it relies solely on imagination.

But when he got up, there was obviously no one in the lounge. However, after he came back from his usual run, there was already someone in front of the fireplace in the lounge - obviously, the Christmas gifts were still quite attractive.

"Morning, Andrew, and happy holidays - a game of wizard chess?"

A first-year student who stayed on campus greeted Andrew enthusiastically. It was unclear whether he was addicted to chess or just showing off his new chess pieces - anyway, this set of marble chess pieces looked really good.

It’s just that... my chess skills are not very good.

In less than a quarter of an hour, under the watchful eyes of several onlookers, Andrew happily killed the opponent's king with his upgraded soldiers.

"You stupid fellow!"

The defeated king attacked the loser with the harshest words among Ravenclaws, which made the onlookers laugh wildly.

"It's because it's too noisy. It messed up my train of thought. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to upgrade that soldier!"

The brand new chess piece was held down on its head and then stuffed into the box upside down. "Let's try with the old chess piece!"

Ten minutes later, a smile appeared on his face. "I said it was its problem. Of course, Andrew played chess well."

Andrew kept smiling - it was a big holiday, he didn't want to bully the kids too much. So he simply gave up his seat and prepared to go to each dormitory to see what everyone was busy with.

Anyway, it's a holiday now, so just say Happy Christmas and it's very convenient to communicate.

But half an hour later, a disappointed Andrew decided to go for dinner - except for the presence of magical items, it was almost the same as other places.

Although there are not many people living on campus during the Chinese New Year, you can refer to the students who stay on campus during the Mid-Autumn Festival. The same principle applies.

However, breakfast was similar to usual, except that the auditorium was simply decorated - obviously, the formal activities would have to wait until noon or evening.

If we have to say what the biggest change is, it is probably the relationship between the students who remain in Gryffindor and Slytherin. The two houses, which had never been in a good mood towards each other since the holidays, finally stopped whispering insults today.

However, after returning to the lounge, Andrew was caught by the prefects to do some activities. The prefects who usually didn't take care of things were particularly active today. They brought out a bunch of banned prank curse boxes, and if you opened the box and didn't answer the questions in the box within the specified time, you would be attacked by the curse in public.

The most common evil curse is the Tarantella dance. Occasionally, there will be small evil curses such as making people laugh wildly or changing hair color. If you answer the questions correctly, you can get a few bags of snacks from the box. If you fail, it will cause laughter among everyone present.

All in all, the activity was quite successful, and Andrew managed to get snacks three times at the cost of dancing once (because of History of Magic) - until everyone was tired and laughing like crazy, the class leader happily announced the end of the activity and asked them to go to the cafeteria for a lunch party.

"I knew it……"

Andrew muttered under his breath.

"what happened?"

"It's okay. I remembered Peeves—" Andrew suppressed his emotions. "I don't know what methods the school used to control him so that he didn't cause trouble at the party."

Of course it had nothing to do with Peeves - Andrew was just a little unhappy to see Percy smiling so brightly. At the moment, Percy didn't look like a patient who had just been discharged from the hospital. He was happily chatting with his three highly recognizable red-haired brothers at the Gryffindor dinner table.

However, considering that he was the one who pushed him into the hospital, Andrew could only focus his attention on the magic firecrackers on the table.

To be more precise, it is firecrackers with colorful envelopes, which usually contain some low-quality gifts.

Andrew picked up two and handed them to the Ravenclaw student next to him. "The school is really thoughtful to prepare these for us."

"Hmm, interesting stuff."

The other party pulled it open, and with a bang, smoke splashed, and a beautiful smoke enveloped the young man, and then a beautiful colorful hat appeared in the other party's hand.

“Wow, that’s really cool.”

Andrew's admiration floated from afar.

This thing actually explodes things, instead of sticking ribbons or stars on your face. Apart from being a little louder, it doesn't have any functions like changing hair color or installing a clown nose.

"It's really cool."

The other person put the hat on his head, and then happily opened another one. This time it was louder, but what appeared was a bag of balloons.

After he took the lead, the other Ravenclaw students also reached for the firecrackers on the table. Andrew was no exception - but he still took it in his hand and waited for others to try.

The sample is too small, please wait.

However, this behavior soon attracted the attention of the classmates who had been chatting with him earlier.

"Okay, you actually used me for your experiment."

This is not fun anymore - it only took a few of them to realize it, they should have found someone dumber...

A loud firecracker exploded next to Andrew's ear as revenge for being discovered during the experiment - unexpectedly, this time a few mice were blown out...

'What the hell... what kind of application of Transfiguration is this? Is it so wasteful?'

Andrew even wanted to use his magic wand to disassemble one, but he didn't know if this thing had any anti-disassembly protection measures.

'I can only try to open a few more. I'll go back and look for the purchase order. I think it should be in the most recent files. This kind of purchase order should be unblocked for me.'

This thing actually has a high level of magic content - Transfiguration, Traceless Extension, and the balance of the spell or the spell must be fixed on a very thin line.

And turning the collapse phenomenon when the spell is broken into entertaining explosions and smoke...it's simply a luxurious lottery firecracker.

However, most of the lower grade students did not notice its power, while the higher grade students seemed to have adapted to it.

Andrew couldn't find anyone to discuss the matter with for a while. He could only secretly cast a fake bubble head spell on himself and then unpacked the firecrackers as slowly as possible.

But, I have no clue.

But he did get a lot of other things - but he pretended to be setting off fireworks for others and gave them away. He only needed to set off fireworks and give the things to anyone.

This led to a rapid increase in the number of firecrackers he opened, especially for the lower grade students who had not mastered the bubble head spell. They almost formed a team and brought their firecrackers to Andrew to help them open them (there was a small pile in each seating area, which was basically divided by default).

'I guessed a few more possible spells... How much would this thing cost?'

Andrew, who was really confused, finally determined that there was no point to observe, and happily began his ruthless firecracker destruction mode, which was very popular.
