I swung a sword at Hogwarts

“Can I get a free ticket?”

"..." John began to regret investing Tang Mi's twenty years' salary. He said helplessly, "Your whole family will get free tickets."

Upon hearing this, Tang Mi smiled and went to tell Oz the good news.

John really wondered what kind of person this guy would be if he became a father.

He used to be quite calm, but since he stopped getting paid, he has become more and more free.

The Christmas activities were arranged and John stood at the window and heard the Christmas singing class playing outside.

The children in wizard robes were holding a toad in their arms, and the more John looked at it, the more familiar it looked.

"Isn't that Leif?"

Neville's toad became the lead singer of the Toad Accompaniment Band, and the croaking sound matched the strange music of the magical world very well.

In the Muggle world, few people would think of using toads as backing singers.

This is also a characteristic of the magical world.

He also saw someone leading a fat cat with a fierce look on a rope, and he guessed that the cat had strong fighting power.

The girl who didn't look fat felt like she was being dragged away.

The scarves of various colors with snowflakes falling are also a highlight.

John immediately recognized the snake-like scarf in the crowd. Luna and Ginny were standing in front of a store selling African magical items.

Luna picked up something that looked like an organ without changing her expression, which made Ginny unable to avoid it.

But Luna was very happy, and the two of them went to the next house.

There was a fountain in the middle of the Overturned Gardens, and Lockhart had suggested last time that a statue of John be erected there.

After being rejected by John, Lockhart shamelessly asked if he could erect his own statue.

The answer is of course no.

John could only say that Lockhart was very shameless. In his hiding place in France, he erected a pure gold statue.

Or in the fountain in the middle.

Yes, that's the spot where John once hung up a shady portkey trader.

Lockhart now basically lives in France, where he practices in seclusion and prepares to polish his next top masterpiece.

Silver Hand Publishing had urged him many times for this, but unfortunately Lockhart's current position allowed him to create as he pleased.

The Ancient Alliance also needed some private space, so John did not attend their cocktail party.

Since this year is a period of crazy expansion, even with a large influx of Galleons, there is still a lot of Galleons to spend.

Gudai Fund has not had much revenue this year.

Of course, that is for the wealthy people who have seen big money.

For the Weasleys, this year had brought them more money than they had in the previous decade.

The Weasley twins had quietly secured exclusive jersey sales rights for several Quidditch teams, which led to the opening of a new Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes in Hogsmeade.

Malfoy's time to make money will be when leagues become popular in various countries next year.

The Greengrasses have become the family that has made the most money this year through the transportation business.

But what's strange is that someone heard that he saw the famous Mr. Greengrass chasing a platinum-haired man across two streets.

In response, John said he didn't want to know who was being chased.

...

Chapter 696: Wick's House, Silver Hand Christmas

Christmas is coming.

The Wick family is fully prepared for Christmas this year.

Mrs. Wick looked helplessly at her husband who was standing in front of the fireplace.

"Even if a meteorite hits the earth this year, I will not leave!" Watson vowed.

As an old man who was heartbroken by his family last year, Watson will definitely not miss this year's Wizarding World.

The windows of the Wicks' house were opened and the Christmas tree was in front of the window.

There were already several gifts piled under the tree. Watson sat on the sofa, shaking his legs. He looked at his watch and then at the phone beside him.

Finally, he waited for it.

Ariana, with sleepy eyes, rubbed her eyes and walked downstairs. Watson stared at his daughter with fiery eyes.

Ariana, still barefoot and dazed, instinctively walked to Mrs. Wick and opened her arms to hug her mother.

"Oh ~ Ariana, my little princess."

The old mother's heart almost melted. Mrs. Wick kissed Ariana on the cheek, tapped her nose with her finger, and smiled, "You have to wait until you finish washing up before you can open the presents."

Ariana nodded and turned to the bathroom.

The little bear jumped out of her arms and ran over to open the door in advance.

After Ariana finished washing, some strands of her hair were wet and stuck to her cheeks.

Her hair is very long, reaching her waist.

She doesn't like to tie her hair up and often lets it down.

However, Ariana, who has a delicate face, can handle even such a hairstyle.

Stretching, she looked at her wrist.

She forgot her bracelet.

The little bear ran up and took the bracelet off like he was presenting a treasure.

"Thank you, little bear." Ariana smiled sweetly, picked up the little bear and rubbed her face against the soft little bear.

Qiqi stared at the little bear and made meaningless breathing sounds from his mouth.

Watson looked at his daughter expectantly, even though he tried to appear nonchalant.

But his frequent glances at the Christmas tree still revealed what he was thinking.

Ariana walked over to the blanket with bare feet, sat under the Christmas tree and picked up the presents to open.

This is from Watson.

After being rejected last year, Watson learned his lesson and changed his strategy.

This gift was his masterpiece.

When the gift was opened, it turned out to be a little yellow bear.

The brown bear looked at the yellow bear, then turned to look at Watson.

That expressionless face seemed to reveal a strange feeling.

Ariana looked at the bear, then put it on the ground and never cared about it again.

Watson covered his heart, "Why?"

Mrs. Wick sneered, "Foolish man."

The gifts were opened one by one, and there was a pink gift box with a message saying it was sent from the Bear Country.

Ariana shook it, and it seemed to be filled with sponge so there was no sound.

When you open it, you'll see a pink bow.

Mrs. Wick closed the box again and stroked her good daughter's hair with a smile.

Looking closely, the smile on her face was slightly twisted.

Last year, I wrote a letter to my brothers and asked them to send some things for girls.

Is this their answer?

A girly Barbie pink...Glock.

She seemed to understand why none of her brothers had found girlfriends.

Watson chewed his nails and watched with wide eyes as Ariana opened the gift that Basil had brought that morning.

His original sitting position on the sofa had now changed to one with his buttocks hanging in the air, and his whole body leaning forward.

The gift box was torn open bit by bit, revealing a book with a gold-stamped white cover.

"A practical magic picture book?"

Watson sat down again with some disappointment. Under the cushions of the sofa, a complete set of wizard costumes was ready.

When Mrs. Wick came down and saw her husband's distraught look, she realized that John did not seem to invite Ariana over this year.

At this moment, Ariana flipped the book, and three golden tickets fell out from the interlayer of the book.

It was the first time Mrs. Wick discovered that her husband was so agile. He jumped up from the sofa and threw the cushions behind him.

It took him less than ten seconds to put on a complete set of wizard suit.

"Let's go to the magical world!"

Watson held the wand in his left hand and held Kiki in his right hand as a decoration.

Mrs. Wick: “…” Did you plan this in advance?

Along with the gold note, a piece of paper also fell down.

Ariana blinked.

"Take your tickets and hold Ariana's hand."

Mrs. Wick read it out, and each person held a ticket in his hand.

The couple held Ariana on each side.

Watson suppressed his excitement and asked in confusion, "What's next?"

Mrs. Wick turned the paper over and looked at it, and said curiously, "No more."

The family of three was a little confused.

Just then, Ariana heard a noise and looked back at the book.

The book began to shake.

Mrs. Wick subconsciously prepared to pick up the nearest owl stand as a weapon.

next second.

When the book was opened, papers flew all over the room, engulfing the family of three.

There was a suction force, and the three of them disappeared into the house at the same time.

All the papers returned to the book, and the book disappeared with a whoosh.

Not long after, the doorbell of Wick's house rang.

Outside.

Greg thought about his conversation with the boss.

"Listen, you need to get close to Watson Wick."

"But boss, Watson Wick has been wary of me since last Christmas. I don't know what I did."

"Don't tell me about the damn vigilance. Are you a woman? You need to take the initiative to approach him. Send him a roast chicken on Christmas. Remember, approach him. You are his best friend!"

The conversation stopped abruptly.

Greg felt like a fool as he held a plate of turkey in his hands.

He guaranteed that the agents in the field vehicle disguised as a mobile food truck were already grinning from ear to ear.

After ringing the doorbell and getting no response, Greg continued to ring.
