Chapter 124 The end of the holiday

Chapter 124 The end of the holiday

The holidays are often a happy time.But too short or too long is not good for us.

Luke didn't worry about the vacation being too long or too short.After all, the Christmas vacation is different from the winter vacation in the previous life.After all, it was a short vacation.It's more about getting the kids home and reuniting with their parents.

Years of not being able to see anyone is not good for parents or children.

Hagrid stood on the platform, glanced at his pocket watch, and then looked into the distance. After seeing the black smoke column, a bright smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

A siren sounded, and then a clang of bells.The students got off the train one by one and said this to each other cheerfully.

Hagrid blew his whistle.The harsh whistle made the students calm down from their excitement, and several students who were closer to him frowned.

There were also a few students who seemed to be older, their expressions changed, and then they all started to move away from Hagrid in unison.And Hagrid looked at the students who were better, but overall they were still noisy and disorderly, and took a deep breath.

"Old students make their own carriages. Freshmen gather at my place!"

Hagrid's voice literally rattled the leaves on one side.Several students who were closer to him covered their ears with pain on their faces.

The effect was very good, the old students walked in another direction, while the freshmen surrounded Hagrid.Hagrid nodded in satisfaction.

"What use does he want that whistle?"

Hermione said dissatisfiedly to Luke and Taylor who were beside her, "Obviously all you need to do is shout."

Luke just smiled.He ignored Hermione's complaints.

Taylor shook his head, but didn't say anything.

"Is there any difference between the carriage going from the castle to the station and from the station to the castle?"

Hermione asked Luke as she followed the two and approached Hagrid.

Luke shook his head: "I don't know, there should be, otherwise why would you ask us to stay alone."

"Not enough carriages."

Taylor spoke calmly, with a low voice, and a smile on his face.

Both Luke and Hermione were silenced.

After a long time, when they had already stood still not far from Hagrid, Hermione seemed to have finally come to her senses.

"It shouldn't be." Her tone was very... tangled.If it was the first time, on the day of the new school, she would have scoffed at such remarks and said contemptuously that it was nonsense.This is the magic school with the longest history and the strongest teaching strength in the UK!How could there not be enough carriages.

But after going to school for more than 3 months, she really couldn't say such a thing in a righteous way.

People will be regarded as yin and yang.

The attribute of the school is not exaggerated.It's just that there is only one magic school in the whole of England.

Among the Hogwarts student community, it was also a Hogwarts joke.Of course, it's purely self-deprecating, and if others really say it, they will turn their faces.

"We can make the carriage ourselves! I've heard my brother tell you about the things you should pay attention to when you go back to the castle."

A Gryffindor student suddenly spoke to Hagrid.He was one of Hagrid's recent students just now, and the expression on his face still had an aftertaste of dissatisfaction.

After listening to his words, the students gave Hagrid another attention salute.Seeing the reaction of the students, the child seemed to be encouraged, he straightened his back, and his eyes of asking and suggesting turned into questioning.

Under everyone's gaze, Hagrid remained calm.

"We don't have enough carriages," Hagrid explained to the student. "We never have enough of them. Because new students usually go by boat."

The students who were still making noise and shoving were completely silent.

The entire student team was instantly silent.

The faces of the students cycled between 'so it is' and 'unbelievable', and finally merged into one, forming a rather complicated expression.

Hermione opened her mouth, but said nothing, she just looked at Taylor beside her.Taylor just smiles.

"But we didn't feel that there were not enough cars when we went from the castle to the station."

"We went to Cong Castle earlier at the station. At that time, we were free to get on the train. We didn't queue up, which doesn't mean that other people didn't queue up. But now the carriage may still be rich enough for one college or even several colleges to go together. But which college How about staying? That's the only way."

Luke gave Hermione a simple explanation, and he just realized that the reason was this.Of course, this is not worthy of his doubts.Just a little thing.

"You guessed?" Luke looked at Taylor and asked seriously.

Taylor blinked at Luke and said with a smile, "Not exactly."

This answer made Luke raise his eyebrows, and then he showed a bright smile: "Good thing."

"I'll talk to you later when I get back."

Taylor said to Luke.

And Luke nodded, understanding why.There were a lot of people around, and this kind of matter involving Taylor's own secrets really couldn't be said casually here.

Hermione looked at the two guys playing riddles with a look of helplessness.But it seems impossible to ask these two people why here.

The students had nothing to do, so they could only wait here obediently.

The sun gradually moved overhead.The students' actions ranged from calm, to impetuous, to impatient.

Fortunately, they did not continue to wait.

"Okay, you can get in the car."

Hagrid took the lead and led the students towards the place where the carriage was parked.

The students all gave out excited voices in unison.Seamus Finnigan ignored the opposition of his brand-new wizard chess pieces, and put them into his trouser pocket very roughly.The chessboard was only carried in his hand, and he did not put it back in his box.

Neville beside him shouted angrily: "I finally won!"

"Give up, Neville, you will never beat me at wizard chess!"

Seamus looked very pleased.But the cold sweat on the forehead still betrayed him.He was indeed about to lose just now.It's okay to lose to Ron.Losing to Neville was somewhat unacceptable to him.

Although he had been winning against Neville all the time, he was very sure that he didn't want to lose, not even once, to Neville.

What a shame!

Luke's expression was fairly calm, but he still let out a long sigh of relief.Not knowing when the end is waiting is always the most tormenting.

Fortunately, this is just waiting for the carriage.

The students moved quickly, and without Hagrid's urging, they sat in the carriage quickly and orderly.

Seeing this, Luke suddenly wondered if the teachers in the school did it on purpose.

Although it made the students wait here for a while, it really made these eleven or twelve-year-old children a lot more controllable.Compared with the messy scene before, is this kind of work efficiency a bit higher?

"What are you doing in a daze? Get in the car first."

Hermione urged Luke, and then scanned the parking place in the car for a week.Then he took out a pen and paper from the pouch beside him.

"There are not too many cars missing... There are not even two more people in each car."

After Luke got into the car, Hermione who sat on the carriage and put down the pen and paper said angrily, "Strictly speaking, we don't have to wait any longer!"

Obviously, Hermione was very angry.Luke suspected that he and Taylor were responsible for this, but he really didn't dare to say anything more now.

"Okay, they did it on purpose, but if they really let us squeeze, I guess there are still many people who are not happy. For this convenience, it is better to let us wait. The efficiency is much higher."

Luke shook his head and said to Hermione.

"It must be Professor Snape's idea!" Hermione crossed her arms and said angrily.

Luke just shook his head. According to his knowledge of several professors, it is not unusual for any of them to make such a decision.It is really unnecessary to fight wits and courage with such a group of students.

"Your arithmetic has improved a lot." Taylor glanced at Hermione's notebook, glanced at the concise and clear calculation formula, and praised.

Hermione had a small smug look on her face.

"It was the Christmas gift Luke gave me that worked. Those mathematical writings are really simple and clear. Although there are some flaws in the derivation of the principles, they are really one in one in terms of practicality."

Hermione sighed, she could clearly see the pros and cons of those books.Those formulas, knowing what they are and not knowing why they are, have no practical problems at all.But there are some gaps in how and why these formulas came about.

But for students, friendliness is too much.

"The derivation of the principle can't be put down. Most of the next few books for you will focus on this aspect." Lu Ke Xiaozhe nodded: "It seems that the gift you and I gave you is quite satisfactory."

Hermione nodded heavily: "Very satisfied."

"Are you sending 'knowledge' to everyone?"

Taylor said with a weird look on his face.Before Hermione showed any doubts, she first explained to Hermione: "He gave me some precious herbs. There are also some powerful prescriptions that I haven't seen before."

So the two looked at Luke together.Judging from the current two gifts, knowledge is indeed the keyword of Luke's gift.

"Not all." Luke shook his head facing the eyes of the two: "There will always be people who are not interested in knowledge. It's the same in any form. Whether it's dislike or unnecessary."

"So for these people, there is demand. Some people need benefits, and some people need feelings."

The smile on Luke's face was a little more smug: "In short, I'm pretty satisfied with the gifts I sent out."

So it changed to two supercilious eyes.

Soon, the three of them started talking and laughing again.Children of this age always have endless things to say when facing each other.Topics kept coming and going, and they could even have the luxury of discarding some topics that they could continue to talk about but didn't like that much.

And after just a dozen years, what they have to face is a state of being silent and silent.If there is a topic that can be talked about, just talk about it, and don't let the scene fall into awkward silence.

It didn't take long for them to return to the castle. The students who hadn't gone home for Christmas had been looking forward to their return.

The students in the upper grades are fine, but the students in the lower grades can be overwhelmed.They have already suffocated their words and want to talk to their friends.

So the scene once again fell into chaos.

Luke and Taylor did not join in the fun in the small square.The two left the crowd while no one was paying attention.

"Can you predict?"

Luke didn't delay. After finding a remote abandoned classroom, he asked straight to the point.

"It's just a little bit. With the help of grandma, I forced it to open a little bit."

Then Tyler saw Luke's frown.She smiled.

"Don't worry, there is no harm. In fact, it is time to open it. It is better to guide than to force."

Taylor's relief did not reassure Luke completely, but now he can only keep this matter in his heart, and said, "What effect?"

"It's relatively simple and doesn't have much effect. I can see a short-term, a little related vague revelation. But the timing of the activation is uncertain, and the location and time of the revelation cannot be determined. Some are useful, and some are not."

Taylor said in a helpless tone: "Grandma said, my advanced ability is too weak. Her advanced ability at that time was the three-second foresight that could be activated in critical moments."

All the words Luke originally wanted to comfort were stuck in his mouth.

Well, there really isn't much to say about that.

"Compared in this way, your ability is really not good enough."

Luke nodded and said.

Taylor looked exposed, his face getting more and more bulging.

But Luke was unmoved.

"Have you made any progress in your ability?" Taylor said not to be outdone.

"Oh, there's a fart..." Luke sneered, "At present, I can't even find any new ways to develop abilities. I can feel quite a lot of emotional energy, but most of the time I don't know how to use it .”

"For example, the overall mood in the school is excitement. I can feel that my ability can affect the overall mood, but it's like a fly shaking a tree. It's useless. It's different from before. Before, I This effect is achieved by mobilizing the emotions of several people."

Luke was very distressed. He couldn't find any ideas for development. He didn't think he was a stupid person, but if he didn't find a way, he didn't find a way.

"Is there any solution?"

Taylor could see the self-deprecation under the sneer, and asked a question with concern.

"It's also simple... Just find the legacy left by Gryffindor."

Luke let out a long sigh of relief.

Taylor fell silent.How like this is not something that can be used as an adjective.

So the two fell into silence together.

The holidays are over.But more troubles have just begun.
