Hogwarts: I Really Don't Want to Be a Wizard

Chapter 33 Christmas



When I am busy, I don't always notice the passage of time.

When Hogwarts ushered in the first winter snow, Gretel realized that it was almost Christmas.

Gretel left the Room of Requirement after a long absence and wandered in the snow with Penelo.

"Senior, I'm sorry that I made you do useless work for so long." Grete apologized to Penello in embarrassment.

Just a few days ago, with the help of Penello, Grete finally succeeded in making the first batch of samples according to his idea.

A magic information terminal that looks like a smartphone, with a fully handmade casing and pure magic movement, and is suitable for all series of magic screen projections.

Until he distributed the samples to people he knew well for testing, Grete felt that he had made a product that transcended the times.

Until Gretel visited Hagrid who was trying out samples.

"Gretel, but this thing is not very useful. If it is just to deliver the message as quickly as possible, it can be done by disapparating.

Even if apparation cannot span too long distances, it won't take much time to use door keys fixed around the world. The practicality of this thing is really poor. "

It was only then that Grete realized why Big Brother had appeared in the Muggle world, but the communication method in the wizarding world was still the ancient carrier pigeon.

It's obvious that Muggles invented the train, and Hogwarts is happy to use it.

As for why I didn’t learn the communication methods of Muggles.

That's because communication has never been a problem for wizards.

Because Muggles travel far away, they have to study information terminals to reduce the time and resources required to transmit information.

But compared to Muggles' journeys, which can take hours or even days, even if wizards want to cross the earth and reach the other side, they only need to make a few door key changes.

For the Muggle world, this product is indeed transcending the times, but for the wizarding world, it is not even considered useless.

According to his original idea, his product would take the magic world by storm in various countries, and he would also be able to earn his first pot of gold from it.

He had been a Muggle for too long, and it wasn't until Hagrid woke him up that he realized that all this was just his own imagination.

After all, even in the Muggle world, rigorous market research will be conducted at the beginning of the development of any product.

No wonder no matter which professor he asked for advice, although he got their guidance, he never attracted their attention.

Even thinking about it now, every professor, whether it was Dumbledore, Flitwick, or even Voldemort, looked at him as if he were looking at a child playing around.

No wonder there is a saying that goes without investigation, there is no right to speak.

After he confessed to Penelo, Penelo's eyes were straight like him, and they looked at each other.

Even though Penelope has lived in the wizarding world since she was a child, before she mastered the ability to change her form, her only social option was sending messages through carrier pigeons.

Therefore, after learning about Gretel's project, she really sparked curiosity and a sense of mission to change the magical world.

Now that they understood the situation, the two concluded that the wizard market was completely over.

However, if you want to introduce your products to the Muggle world, you cannot avoid the market access ticket of the International Federation of Wizards and Wizards Secrecy Act.

More than a month ago, Penello might still be worried about gains and losses, and even felt that he had wasted his time.

But every time she thought about the categorical rejection she received when she asked Gretel to quit last time when she felt she was useless, she no longer felt disappointed at all.

"Then what are you going to do next?"

Penello did not answer, because in the past few days, Gretel had to apologize every time he saw her.

She is not worried about anything else now, she is only worried about this junior student who has locked himself in the Room of Requirement and been autistic for several days, for fear that he will not recover after a fall.

She believed in his ability, even more than Grete believed in himself.

There must be more than one piece of research in that plan, which was filled with notes from beginning to end.

"Let's rest for a few days. I don't know where to start at the moment."

Gretel didn't feel much loss, after all, it came from the cognitive gap.

He needs to adjust, think carefully about the direction of his research, and research something that is truly suitable for wizards.

Only when all wizards are inseparable from his research can he completely infiltrate the wizarding world.

Only then can most people be coerced into having the International Federation of Wizards cancel the secrecy law, and then complete their life plans.

——

Christmas Eve.

Gretel packed up his packages early in the morning, and he couldn't wait to go back to the orphanage.

As early as a week ago, when Professor Flitwick registered for the school leave list, he couldn't wait to be the first to sign up.

Fortunately, he is not homeless, otherwise the rescue team, which is looking at him eagerly and longing for him to stay and investigate Nicoléme, would definitely drag him on a Christmas adventure.

In order to surprise his younger brothers and sisters in the orphanage, he specially begged the seniors who could go to Hogsmeade Village to bring him a lot of candies that could only be found in the wizarding world.

Of course, those magical candies that can run, jump, and sing cannot be taken back, otherwise, the Ministry of Magic will come to your door.

Even so, candies with various strange flavors still took up half of his suitcase space.

The Hogwarts train was ready. At nine o'clock in the morning, it was confirmed that the little wizards had gathered and the train left Hogwarts on time.

No one in the orphanage knew that Gretel was coming back. Even Mrs. Swann thought that Gretel would spend his first Christmas in the wizarding world at Hogwarts.

So, when Grete appeared at the entrance of the orphanage in a dusty state, almost everyone rushed over in surprise.

On Christmas Day, Gretel was awakened by owl messengers outside the attic window.

The owls were so busy today that they couldn't even wait for Grete to feed them.

He threw the gift in his paws in front of him and flew away neatly in the wind and snow.

Not many people knew his address, and they could be counted on two hands.

But almost everyone who knew his address sent him something, some were just letters of congratulations, and some were packages large or small.

Professor McGonagall gave him a book about the origins of Transfiguration.

Professor Flitwick's gift was a bottle containing a starry sky, which looked a bit like the one on top of the common room and looked extremely delicate.

Senior Penello sent a raven brooch, and the note in the gift box said that it was a lucky charm she found from Bogu store.

Principal Dumbledore sent a golden hollow key and a letter.

What surprised Gretel the most was that Snape, who had been frowning all day long, actually sent him a gift.

It was a small medicine bottle, which contained a dose of elixir for one person.

"I've made a lot of the newly prepared Fuling Elixir. I have time to try its efficacy."

Gretel laughed at this arrogant person and carefully put these gifts into his small bag.

Then I started opening the letters.

There were more letters than gifts, and it looked like it would take him a while to open them.

Harry's letter was of little value. It just sent him Christmas wishes and expressed his resentment for not participating in Nicolas Flamel's investigation.

Hermione's letter was as direct as hers. While sending her blessings, she hoped that he could recommend some literature he had read to her.

Ron was the least wordy and only sent Christmas wishes.

He was still worried that Gretel would steal Harry's friendship. Harry, Gretel, and even Hermione could see this.

Professor McGonagall hoped that he could study transfiguration. She thought he was very talented.

Professor Flitwick hoped that he would be happy and consoled him for his failed research.

There was no way, the dean had always cared so much about the little wizard, not to mention that Penelo had asked him to help enlighten Gretel.

Dumbledore's letter was not long, but it aroused Gretel's interest.

Dumbledore said that the gift he gave had a small surprise, but Gretel needed to decrypt it himself. He also said that if he decrypted it, there would be other surprises for him.

After he had packed up everything and answered all the letters that needed to be answered, his Christmas vacation was basically coming to an end.

Maybe it was because there were too many letters to reply to, but after delivering the letters, Sebastian didn't even lose his temper, and went back to his cage looking exhausted.

In the reluctant eyes of a bunch of little guys, Gretel returned to Hogwarts.

——

Terry still looked energetic, he really didn't look like a calm and collected raven.

Again, there must be some bug in the Sorting Hat.

"Grete, you don't know what happened on Christmas, you will definitely be happy for me.

Our family went to a Quidditch game over the Christmas holidays, the Tuthill Tornados.

You know, I'm a huge fan of the Tuthill Tornados and they will definitely win the Quidditch trophy this year. "

Terry looked really excited, and it wasn't until Snape gave him a good beating in Potions class on Monday that he returned to his usual calm self.

“I hope none of you lose your brain over the holidays again.

If anyone blows up the crucible again, I will definitely make him regret why he didn't change himself into a troll's brain before class. "

"Professor, thank you for your Christmas gift."

Gretel placed a set of crystal potion bottles that he specially selected on Snape's desk.

"That's because you have made too many potions. Also, don't give me this kind of thing. Do I, as a potions professor, lack such a set of potion bottles like you?"

Grete didn't reply at all, and just dealt with the potion materials in his hands with peace of mind.

“It is easier to extract the juice from sea onion bulbs by cutting them diagonally…”

"When squeezing the bile of the Motla rat, the action should be as gentle as possible. The falling fragments will affect the potion configuration..."

When Gretel left Snape's office, he noticed that the potion bottle that was supposed to be placed in the corner of the desk had been put away at some point.
