Chapter 425 The Adventurer’s Perseverance
“Merry Christmas, Hagrid.”
Andrew carried the box, smiled, and greeted Hagrid who came over.
"Merry Christmas, Andrew," Hagrid's face was full of joy and smelled of wine, "Are you going back to school now?"
Although Andrew didn't know that Mag The professor has been on duty since vacation, but he has no intention of betraying Professor McGonagall's whereabouts. "Yes, I have already spent a luxurious vacation."
As he spoke, he took out two bottles of gin from the box, "I bought the wine from the Muggle side secretly. To be honest, I asked someone to buy it. The shopkeeper was really merciless. Tell me."
This is the truth. He asked a nanny to buy it - he said it was coming back to give it to the professor. The nanny agreed after hesitating for a moment.
"You didn't use a confusion spell or something?"
Hagrid looked a little eager to try,
? ? ?
You're a professor, Hagrid! Andrew didn't know what to say for a moment.
The spellcasting qualification was precious, and he had no intention of using it carelessly. At least until he officially reached adulthood and would not cause any messy criticism, he would occasionally need some magic help in his life - it would be too bad to abuse it.
"Okay, it's really not suitable, but it's a good thing to get it," Hagrid took the wine. "Also, thank you for the ham. It tastes really good. Come and sit in my cabin for a while?"
"As long as you like it, Hagrid," Andrew nodded, "But I have to go back and check in first. I've been on vacation for too long this time."
The price of the Spanish product It was expensive, but Andrew still felt it was too cheap.
He really didn't know how to say good things to Hagrid - Andrew just said that he was worried that there would be problems with the potion materials when he returned, and Hagrid directly bought him a lot of expensive stuff that was hard to buy.
If he hadn't seen the real thing from Professor Snape, Andrew would really think that those fire crab shells used to maintain temperature are worthless things.
'Fortunately, it was left when the shell was shed. If this is the kind left when death, then it is really...it seems affordable...'
Shaked his head, Andrew was no longer thinking about the use of funds and walked towards the castle - he planned to go back and put the boxes away first, and then go to the office to process the documents safely.
——
"This...this..."
Andrew was stunned at the door of the dormitory.
No! What's going on with this pile of gifts!
Didn’t he already receive something from his friend Qiangwei in his room?
“Gu?”
Qiangwei, who was lying in the cage, also stood up and stared at the pile of gifts. The whole bird leaned on it weakly. It was obviously frightened by the pile of boxes.
‘I remember that I blocked my magic address... Only a few people knew the two aliases... Is this sent directly to the school? ‘
‘But usually they will be stopped directly. Without an address, Hogwarts cannot send the package in...’
Andrew moved over and started to pull.
Ministry of Magic…
Another Ministry of Magic...
Well, the School of Magic...
A scattered pile, only a small part of it was sent by friends, and the rest were either gifts from the Ministry of Magic or this or that association. , beautifully packaged.
…
‘Fortunately I’m back, and this…’
Andrew looked at the unusually familiar box—no doubt a bunch of high-end quills, from the editorial department.
'Fortunately, I came back early, otherwise this matter...'
He carefully hid the most dangerous package, and then packed the packages from the Ministry of Magic, various organizations and schools under the bed, and his friends' He piled it on the bed and breathed a sigh of relief.
'Documents are important, especially the spinning laboratory. It was a breakthrough success after all, so I have to go and take a look...'I will dismantle it when I come back. Anyway, the bomb has been eliminated...'
'Fortunately, I was smart and blocked my name with magic. Otherwise, if I received other packages, they would be inspected with a detector. Then I would have to be captured and hung up in the astronomical tower. ’
Andrew muttered as he rushed towards the office - he was mentally prepared to handle even a desk full of documents.
But Professor McGonagall obviously doesn't have the bad habits of a certain Hogwarts headmaster who cannot be named. What was left for Andrew was just a normal day's new files, nothing more than an experiment piled on top. It's just a report on the results of the office.
Andrew took a quick look at it - it was pretty much what he thought, it didn't involve any new synthetic materials, it just simply improved the loom, and it didn't even change to the most advanced shuttleless loom. , but the results are pretty good, at least they have improved a lot.
And the other party obviously had the idea of getting it right in one step. In the final stage of the experimental report, the concept of shuttleless loom was mentioned, but the school was asked to keep it confidential and provide additional financial support.
'It's still naughty, but the change in the previous step is indeed not a simple imitation... Well, I definitely agree, let's see what happens to Professor McGonagall...'
Andrew signed his name carefully, put away the first document, and waited. Marked by Professor McGonagall.
Then there are the rest of the documents - the most important ones are the correspondence blessings from various schools and some cooperative research. Andrew responded to the blessings one by one, and then kept the cooperation and the like for Professor McGonagall's review.
Anyway, there is no need to worry about matters brought up on Christmas. No good person would rush into this time to create an emergency.

“Done!”
Andrew stretched his muscles and thought for a moment, then looked at the drawer with the time turner locked and sighed - a vacation was useless, He had to readjust to two more hours a day.
‘It’s not necessary today. We’ll start again when Professor McGonagall comes back from vacation. After all, I promised the professor... Let’s go back and open the gifts first. ’
He closed the door, locked the office, turned and walked towards the lounge.
But in the corridor, he was suddenly stopped by someone he didn't expect.
"Merry Christmas, Professor Black."
"Merry Christmas, Andrew," Sirius greeted while looking around, "I heard from the portrait that you were back, so I hurried Come over."
"Huh?"
Andrew was stunned for a moment, "What's the matter?"
He and Sirius had a good relationship, but they didn't have a relationship where they had to meet immediately if they didn't see each other during the holidays.
"It's inconvenient, we'll talk about it later," Sirius smiled mysteriously, "It's not a bad thing."
But until he pulled Andrew to an empty classroom, the little boy Sirius didn't say a word.
It wasn't until they saw Professor Nina in an empty classroom that Sirius breathed a sigh of relief, "Here we are, everyone is here this time, we can continue."
"What and What?”
Andrew was confused.
“A secret, we found some signs two months ago, but there has been no progress. It was not until the holidays started and the students dispersed that we made a formal breakthrough - Do you remember Pippi? A ghost incident, Andrew?"
Sirius smiled proudly.
'I made that stuff up... but I actually managed to get something out of it. However, because Peeves counterattacked too hard, the harvest was too little, and there were all kinds of messy things, the students stopped pursuing it. ’
Andrew controlled his expression and showed some curiosity.
"Don't underestimate the persistence of adventurers. Since there is something wrong, we will definitely explore it. Even if Professor Nina has signed an agreement not to disclose school information to the outside world, this will not affect her pursuit of adventure."
Sirius's face was full of excitement, "As for me, I have long been a senior adventurer at Hogwarts."
'So, have you really found out what's wrong? ’
