[HP] The Last Demon King

Eridins put her luggage back into the bedroom by herself and came to the dining room. There were only Arnold and Anna at the long table, and Arthur was nowhere to be seen.

Dinner is rich potato goulash, roast goose stuffed with chestnuts, small pieces of fruit salad already topped with sauce, and fragrant radish and onion soup, all of which are made by Anna alone. It's really good. Arnold always said that only the food she cooks is the real food that can be eaten.

After the meal, Arnold called Arnold to the evening tea room on the second floor of the manor. The ceiling and three walls of this room are transparent, so that people can watch the night sky while having evening tea.

Anna then came over with three cups of hot coffee and a small plate of scones. She divided the coffee and sat down on another chair: "I heard from Arnold that besides spells, you are also good at potions. I hope these are not his words to comfort me." Anna looked at her coldly.

"How could I lie to you? I promise it's true." Arnold had a nasty smile on his lips.

"After the Christmas holiday, it will be time for the final exam. You should prepare well and get back a report card that satisfies me." Anna took a small sip of coffee. "You've got a lot to learn, common sense and manners, social skills - you're going to be very busy this holiday season."

After the family meeting, Arnold left first, leaving Eridins to start etiquette training immediately, and was not released by Anna until nine o'clock in the evening.

For the next few days, Eridins spent every morning studying etiquette and social skills in the afternoon. Only evening was her free time. She used a little to complete school holiday homework, and then found that I have nothing else to do.

"Can I read the books in the library?" Eridins asked Arnold after finishing a social class.

Arnold glanced at her noncommittally: "I heard that you are the one who spends most time in the library besides the Ravenclaw students at school. I'm really afraid that you will become a nerd."

Eridins really didn't know where he heard the "heard" that often popped out of his mouth.

"Okay, yes. Except for the books in the underground library, you can choose what you like to read." Arnold finally agreed to her request.

Early in the morning of Christmas, gift boxes were piled up under the decorated Christmas tree in Selwyn's living room, and Eridins unexpectedly found three gifts for herself.

In previous years, only Anna would prepare gifts, but this year she received three.

When Eridins was about to open the presents, Arthur came back from the outside drunkenly, smelling of alcohol, and fell asleep on the sofa as soon as he came in.

Ignoring him, Eridins picked up the first gift box that was as heavy as a stone, and it rattled after a while, and when it was opened, there was a box full of Galleons inside.

"This is your belated allowance for this year. If you don't tell Anna about it, the extra one hundred Galleons will be yours too." It was written on the Christmas card, signed by Arnold.

It was the first time in 11 years that Eridins had received a gift from Arnold, although it was her belated allowance.Rubbing off the card, Eridings opened the second gift box. The sender was Anna, and she gave Eridings a dozen different styles of high-quality quills.

The last box, George and Fred, was the first Christmas present for Eridins. It contained a dying white beetle with a card saying: "This scarab is different. Seasonal colors, we had a hard time finding it, you're sure to love it - George and Fred wish you a Merry Christmas!"

Eridins was a little guilty, she didn't prepare any presents, and she didn't even have any experience in celebrating Christmas—and she didn't rule out the fact that she didn't have a penny before. She hesitated, and wrote a letter explaining her situation The reply was sent by the owl of the Selwyn family, and twenty galleons were attached.

The Christmas vacation soon came to an end, and it was time to go back to Hogwarts. This time, Arthur sent her off alone. Before leaving, Arnold called her to the study and had a meaningful conversation with her. conversation.

"Perhaps you have already discovered that your growth experience is a little different from others." Arnold's eyes behind the lens had a strangeness that Eridins could not understand. He sat at the desk and looked at her complicatedly: "Do this I can't tell you the reason now, but it's all for your safety. You... will understand in the future, your mother also has unavoidable difficulties. "

Although Eridins felt that everything was fine before and she didn't care at all, but her intuition told her to shut up.

After the conversation was over, Arthur led Aridins out of the manor cursingly, apparated to the station, and disappeared again with a snap before Aridins could stand still.

Eridins stood up from the ground as usual, patted the ashes off her body, and boarded the express bound for Hogwarts.

The school went on as usual, and the next day after Eridins left the auditorium after breakfast, she was chased and stopped by George and Frege.

"Here you are, we can't accept this." The twins shoved a box into Eridins' hands, and there was a rattling sound inside. It should be the twenty gold Galleons that Eridins sent to the two of them as a Christmas present.

Eridins was stunned: "Why?"

"Christmas gifts will be delivered next year, we don't care, but we can't accept your money." The two said stubbornly: "Christmas gifts and money are two different concepts."

Eridings stopped there in some confusion, seeing this, Fred patted Eridings on the shoulder: "You have to remember—usually people don't give money as gifts, we're fine, Someone else would be angry."

Eridins took note of this and wrote: "Next Christmas I'll make up for it."

The two laughed loudly: "We will remember."

In the afternoon, when Eridins came out of the library after reading a book as usual, she happened to see Malfoy casting a leg-locking spell on a boy. The Gryffindor boy who dropped his broom in flying class and the one who blew up the cauldron in his first potions class.

"Why? No reason, I was looking for someone to test my Leg-locking Curse, and you just passed by, it's as simple as that." Malfoy said with a malicious smile.

Aridins couldn't understand why he paid so much attention to Gryffindor, especially to that Gryffindor Potter - every time he saw Potter, he smelled like shit... Forget it .

Aridins left them and went away herself.

One afternoon a week later, Eridins was reading in the library when she suddenly heard the next table talking about the just-concluded Gryffindor-Hufflepuff Quidditch match, a Gryffindor The students were bragging to a Ravenclaw student about their house's Ron Weasley beating Draco Malfoy to the ground.

He babbled proudly to the Ravenclaw girls about what had happened, Malfoy's black eye sockets and messed up look, until he noticed his front teeth suddenly started to protrude.

Aridins put the book back in its place and left the panic-stricken library.

The labor service that night was the last confinement for Eridins. After cleaning and sorting out all the required materials, Snape did not let her leave immediately, but taught her two additional potion making methods, testing The spell potion and the underwater breathing potion are not in the textbook.

Because of this extra lecture, Eridens didn't come out of Snape's office until after ten o'clock, because Snape notified Rodriguez in advance to wait for her outside, so Eridens didn't have to worry about how to get into the office. Lettering Cellar.

When passing by a corridor, Eridins suddenly heard unreal crying, and said intermittently: "...No...It's not like this...Unicorn...Give me another chance..."

Subconsciously, her footsteps were light, Eridins gave herself a silent call, and then cautiously approached the empty classroom where the sound came from.

"...Before they transfer the Sorcerer's Stone away, I will definitely present the Sorcerer's Stone to the master, please believe me...I will never fail this time...I have already figured out how to pass the dog on the fourth floor... ..."

There was a sudden movement in the classroom, and Eridins immediately hid in the shadow behind the pillar. A man in black robe came out from the classroom, turned his back on Eridins and left in a hurry. Stand out.

After waiting for a long time and no one else came out of the classroom, Eridins walked over holding her breath, only to find that there was no one in the classroom.

Aritins pondered for a while, then walked back to the Slytherin cellar.

"You're finally back, I thought you got lost on the road!" Rodriguez, who had been waiting at the door of the cellar for a long time, had a slight displeasure in his tone, but Eridins didn't listen.

Magic stone--

She seems to have gotten the thread that ties the threads together about the intrigue going on at Hogwarts.

The Philosopher's Stone is the pinnacle representative of ancient alchemy. There have been many reports over the centuries, but the only one that has been confirmed is the one made by Nicole Flamel. The Philosopher's Stone can turn any metal into pure gold, and it can also make people Immortal, as the maker, Lemay lived to be more than 600 years old.

This Philosopher's Stone is now in Hogwarts, someone is secretly plotting to take it, this man is seriously injured beyond recovery, he is called master by his subordinates, his morality allows him to kill unicorns to keep himself alive, magic Stone was his last hope, he was—

Eridins remembered the name of a demon who was supposed to be missing.

Thanks to the books she read in the past six months, it reminded her of this person's name for the first time.

— Voldemort.
