Chapter 142 I’m really in control this time
The twins must have guessed, but they winked - Fred winked with his right eye, George winked with his left eye, made a symmetrical face and said, "We know, but we don't tell. If we don't tell, we don't know."
DeWitt spread his hands and smiled.
"With your own hands, do we understand what we mean?" Fred gestured and said, "We are not suitable for giving expensive gifts. It costs parents' money and is also a burden for good girls, so it is best to do it with your own hands. What matters is the mind..."
DeWitt nodded and said clearly: "This is a good idea. To thank you, I will do it for you..."
"Don't be stupid!" George jumped up and said excitedly: "Uniqueness! Do you understand! Although we really want it - even if we give it together, the result is not much better than if you give the same gift to another girl."
"Then what do you want?"
"It seems we can do without..."
"Then I just give it away?"
The twins laughed: "Then keep the suspense, we like surprises."
The gift took all night to make. It is a pendant on a silver chain. The pendant is a piece of topaz, which was polished to symmetry by magic. It also consumed a lot of original power to make the pendant not only an accessory, but also have the function of protective magic.
Wrapping it in a piece of parchment - not appropriate - DeWitt asked Harry for a gift box, called Gugu, wrote a few simple greetings, and asked Gugu to send it as soon as possible.
Then there are the gifts from the rest of the friends; and Ms. Feyre, the nominal mother; don't forget Nick Flamel, a good person who exchanged a lot of knowledge with DeWitt; Dumbledore... everyone said that he Great, but DeWitt didn't get along with Dumbledore as long as he did with Nick Flamel. He felt that Dumbledore thought a lot, but good people also have to be thoughtful, otherwise how can they beat the bad people?He also wanted Dumbledore to deliver a gift to Nick Flamel, so he asked Harry what Dumbledore liked.
"Wool socks," Harry said uncertainly.
On the afternoon that DeWitt sent the woolen socks to the principal's office along with the gift for Nick Flamel and his wife, he received the returned gift - excluding the woolen socks - and a letter from Dumbledore. Expressed his gratitude, and told DeWitt: "Nick LeMay and his wife have chosen to pass away."
It was still the same day, at night, and Lockhart's screams resounded through the corridors on the first floor, but when other professors passed by, he did not admit that it was him who screamed: "Is it Peeves? You all heard it." wrong."
"Peeves has been missing for almost a semester!" said Professor McGonagall: "You found out... Oh my God!"
Lying on the ground was an unconscious girl, Emma Grossman.
Professor Snape walked over, tapped Emma's hand and forehead with his wand, and said, "It's a curse."
Upon hearing this, Lockhart immediately nodded happily to the other students who were watching and said, "Yes, this is exactly what I found - it is a curse. Please let me, the Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, check it out..." ” He told him his title again, but no one paid him any attention or moved out of his way.
Dumbledore soon arrived and took Emma to the school hospital.
The students had different opinions on this. Some said that Emma had spied on the dark secret of the castle. Some said that Emma had offended someone. Lockhart said that this was an extremely rare special phenomenon and that it was the magic in the wind. A rare curse was formed under accidental conditions, which must be avoided by unique means, which is the talisman he made with his own hands - free of charge, this is a benefit Lockhart gives to all students at Hogwarts.
Of course some people believe it and some don't.
The person who took the amulet said to those who didn't take it: "You idiot, it depends on what you will do if the curse breaks out in the future!"
Those who don't take it will be pushed back: "You even believe Lockhart's words, who is stupid?"
DeWitt heard the news and understood what was going on - it was a good idea to use the identity of the victim to be admitted to the campus hospital to eliminate suspicion for certain future incidents.
On Christmas morning, several gifts were piled on DeWitt's bedside. He squatted there and looked at them carefully, and felt a kind of satisfaction - different from the satisfaction of defeating the enemy, and the satisfaction of getting good results after making a major decision. Not the same either.This kind of satisfaction is a little dull, but it is very memorable. The internal organs seem to be filled with happy gas, and a sweet taste is squeezed out when it collides and rubs.
The first one I opened was a candy gift from Harry and Ron, a large bag of chocolate frogs. DeWitt likes chocolate, so the gifts given by these two boys were all counted together.
The twins got a scare box, which they also gave together. When they opened the box, a ghoul with snarling teeth and claws would pop out of it and sing a Merry Christmas song. DeWitt discovered the potential for transformation in it.
Ms. Feier's gift was a set of inconspicuous black casual clothes. The letter said that she had made it herself. DeWitt was quite satisfied with the suit.
Finally, it was Hermione's. She gave her a gray woolen scarf. It looked a bit too ordinary, but it had the same characteristics as the gift from DeWitt.
There is also Dumbledore. He gave a book "Fairy Tales and Magic", which made DeWitt think - I'm afraid I have to guess the riddle again. It's not enough to guess the principal's riddle just by being very clever. You have to know the top 50 in the wizarding world. DeWitt doesn't know what will happen 50 years from now, so he can only wait. When the time is almost right, the answer will be revealed.Of course, the meaning of this gift may also be a book, a simple book.
When the gifts arrived, DeWitt went out for a night walk at night, trying on Ms. Feyre's clothes and Hermione's scarf, but he suddenly stopped while walking.
"How interesting," he said to himself: "The dog that was let out is about to bite someone, but the person holding the dog must have changed."
DeWitt will definitely not sit still and wait for death, but he is wearing new clothes, which are very cherishable, so this time he chooses to avoid them first, return to the Gryffindor dormitory to change clothes, and then go out to sacrifice himself as fishing bait. But it was a step too late and waited for nothing.
The night after Christmas, before the "dog" as he called it arrived, DeWitt relaxed and walked in the corridor at night until he heard rustling sounds, and then bursts of whispers. :
"Revenge...killing..."
The dog didn't wait, he waited for the snake.
The current situation is expected.Most people don't want to take revenge overnight. Once the diary is out of their hands, the soul inside is no longer restrained. After using some methods and gaining some ability, it is reasonable to come to the door immediately. The only thing that has always been uncertain It was a means of revenge - now the means became clear.
But this time, it was DeWitt's turn to take control.
