Hogwarts: Please Graduate Soon

"Professor, how did you check the Holy Grail?"

In the principal's office, Wayne asked again.

"No problems have been found. Regarding the Holy Grail, I am no longer worried about its safety."

Wayne's face lit up with joy: "Then you agree?"

"I know you're in a hurry, but don't worry yet."

Wayne's face darkened, but Dumbledore smiled: "There is no problem with the Holy Grail, but the danger of the game has indeed increased greatly, so I am still considering..."

"Just tell me how you can agree." Wayne didn't want to argue with Lao Deng, so he asked straight to the point.

If Dumbledore's conditions were too harsh, he would start a Holy Grail War on his own, and he wouldn't be able to gather enough people.

"There are two conditions." Dumbledore said softly: "The first one was not proposed by me, but the request of Madam Maxime and Vice Principal Warley."

"She thinks it would be too bullying for you to participate in the competition."

"In order to avoid dampening the enthusiasm of other students, this competition..."

"No problem." Wayne said simply, "I didn't plan to participate in the competition. Just tell me the second condition."

"I haven't thought about it yet."

Dumbledore smiled gently, "The second condition is purely selfish, but I don't seem to need your help now, so I'll leave it for the future.

After pondering for a moment, Wayne nodded slowly.

"Yes, but let me explain in advance that the request should not be too excessive. If it makes me feel embarrassed, don't blame me for not admitting it.

Dumbledore nodded: "This is what it should be. I will pay attention to the appropriateness."

"Then I will inform Mr. Crouch when I get back.

The two of them reached an agreement and the matter was settled.

"Can the Holy Grail be placed here with me?" Dumbledore asked: "The sealing magic on it is very wonderful, and I want to study it further."

"It doesn't matter how long you want to study it. I'm only interested in the secrets inside."

Having achieved his goal, Wayne was ready to run away.

Before leaving, he suddenly remembered something, snapped his fingers, and the Sorting Hat was summoned.

"I forgot to return this to you."

"Hey, Dumbledore, have you returned to school yet?" the Sorting Hat asked strangely.

Dumbledore slapped his forehead sharply.

He said he felt like something was missing in the office.

It turns out that the Sorting Hat is gone!

It's been so long since he came back, but he didn't even notice

"I will return the hat to you first. Merry Christmas, principal."

With that, Wayne placed the Sorting Hat on its original shelf and slipped out of the office.

The Sorting Hat sighed with regret: "Why did you come back so soon? I haven't had enough fun yet."

"The little wizards in Hufflepuff are all talented, and they speak well. I want to stay there forever."

"How about you take me back to prison?"

Listening to the Sorting Hat's chatter, Lao Deng felt a headache.

This school...is getting weirder and weirder.

Early the next morning, after breakfast, the young wizards took the Thestral carriage to the train station in Hogsmeade.

Almost all of the Ministry's Aurors and Dementors had been removed.

Aurors are also human beings and they also need to take a holiday. Dementors are afraid that their desire to eat will disturb the residents of Hogsmeade because of the cheerful atmosphere of the festival. "So let them go back to Azkaban first.

Fudge's thoughtful gesture unexpectedly received a lot of praise.

The train started on time. In the compartment, the girls discussed their vacation arrangements, while Wayne stared at the window in a daze.

"What's wrong?" Qiu noticed something was wrong with the boy and asked in a low voice.

"It's nothing." Wayne came back to his senses and held my hand, "Before I left school, I received a letter."

Hermione asked curiously: "Who wrote this to you?"

"It's Snape." Wayne's face turned strange, "He asked me to go find him when I had time during the vacation.

Astoria's stupid hair twitched and she said uncertainly: "The relationship between you two...should not be very good.'

This was said rather implicitly.

In fact, the relationship between the two is much worse.

Snape would never miss an opportunity to mock Wayne, and this happened countless times in Potions class.

"It's just Snape's unilateral targeting of me." Wayne said confidently: "I respect every professor very much."

"Then what is he looking for you for?" Qiu asked puzzledly.

"Do you want to take advantage of the holiday to teach you a lesson?" Ginny speculated with the greatest malice.

Except for Slytherin, everyone in the school hates Snape, but the one who hates him the most is definitely the Gryffindor.

"Ginny." Hermione said displeasedly: "Snape is a professor after all, so he wouldn't go so far.

"I guess I have something to do with Wayne."

"Forget it, I'll go take a look if I have time." The old bat was so mysterious that Wayne was quite curious.

Now it was Ginny's turn to be unhappy: "Mom asked you to come to the Burrow and you said you didn't have time. You'd be free to go find Jip."

Wayne looked helpless: "I said I wasn't sure, but I didn't say I couldn't go."

He is going to spend Christmas at Nico's house this year. Nico Flamel's house is also in Devon, and the village of Ottery-St. Catchpole where the burrow is located is also in Devon, but there is still some distance between the two.

If he has taken care of everything, he should go there.

"By the way, one of you wants to spend Christmas with me to meet an elder." Wayne looked at the girls.

Hermione shook her head, she was going to Nordic skiing with her parents.

The same didn't work for Penello, who went home with her parents, grandparents.

Astoria was the first to raise her hand, but Daphne pressed it down again and said unceremoniously:

"Mom won't agree. Just give up."

In the end, Ron could only look at Qiu.

"I don't have anything to do this year." The girl smiled slightly: "If you can convince dad, I will accompany you.

"That's what you said." Wayne confirmed to the girl.

He had no way to deal with Mr. Zhang before, but now...hehe.

Future father-in-law, I heard that you work in the Department of International Magical Cooperation, right?

The train arrived at King's Cross Station. Wayne exchanged greetings with a few acquaintances and then apparated back home, startling Humphrey who was drinking tea in the living room.

"Now that we have returned to the society of ordinary people, can we choose normal transportation?"

Humphrey wiped the tea stains from his shirt, his face darkening.

His new clothes today are his first time wearing them.

"You didn't say you were coming today." Wayne said helplessly. He stretched out his hand and the tea stains on his white shirt were wiped away.

"It's really a convenient ability." Humphrey marveled, and after sighing, he said seriously:

"I know you have a day off today, and I came here specifically to wait for you."

Humphrey's face turned serious: "What happened to Nagini?"

"Have you seen her?" Wayne asked in surprise.

"Last time I passed by your house, two financial report documents happened to be delivered, and I saw her." The corner of Humphrey's mouth twitched: I thought there was a thief in the house. "

"It's my fault for not telling you in advance." Wayne smiled shyly.

"That's not what I want to say." Looking at the young man, Humphrey asked tentatively: "Although Nagini is pretty good-looking, is her age...not too different from yours?"

God knows how Humphrey felt like a bolt from the blue when he found out that his nephew had found a woman who was more than ten years older than him.

If he were to know Nagini's true age, he would probably be even more devastated.

"Uncle, I know it well." Wayne said nonchalantly: "Wizards live longer than ordinary people, so the age difference is nothing.

"Is it so good to be a wizard?" Humphrey said enviously.

At his status, apart from rights, the only thing he pursues is life.

"Don't worry." Wayne blinked: "With me here, your life has just begun."

Humphrey's breathing became rapid, and he couldn't care less about his nephew's pony pulling the cart at the moment.

If you can live for a few more decades, who will care about these minutiae?

In the evening, Nagini stayed with Wayne for the first time after returning home.

"Master, I miss you."

"Zanai!" Gardevoir teleported over and shouted dissatisfied.

"Of course I miss you too, Gardevoir." Nagini hugged Gardevoir very happily.

The little maid was finally satisfied and her eyes turned into crescent moons.

In terms of close relationship, among so many girls, Gardevoir's favorite is Nagini. After all, after returning to human form during that period, Nagini has been living in a suitcase and staying with her every day.

After dinner, Wayne was concerned about Nagini's recent situation.

To his relief, Miss Snake Girl has completely integrated into the wizarding world of this era, and no longer has the fear and timidity she had at the beginning.

"Want to come to Nico's house with me for Christmas?" Wayne asked.

"I won't go."

Nagini shook his head slightly: "The store's business is best during the holidays, so I can't leave."

Wayne said helplessly, "The store just gives you something to do, so you don't have to take it so seriously."

"No." Nagini said seriously: "I must manage the store well so that I can live up to your trust.

Wayne felt like he had shot himself in the foot. He had no intention of training Nagini into a strong woman.

Under the gentle service of Gardevoir and Nagini, Wayne took a comfortable hot bath and lay on the bed.

With a thought, I opened the system panel and checked my points.

In the last draw, he cleared almost all his points.

After a semester of accumulation, I now have more than 13,000 copies.

Most of the points came from the sales of patron saint brooches, with nearly 1,500 pieces sold.

The rest was breaking school rules, and Snape providing some performance from time to time.

But no big event happened.

Complaining to the Ministry of Magic was a spontaneous act by the students and had nothing to do with him. Expelling the dementors did not meet the system's criteria for judging chaotic behavior.

However, by locking Lao Deng outside the principal's office, he was given two thousand points at one time.

Anyway, if you keep the points, you won't be able to give birth to any offspring. Although En, he just pumped him for a hundred times and threw him away.

The cards were shattered one by one. The blue cards were ignored. As long as the purple cards were repeated, Wayne just glanced at them and stopped paying attention.

I don't know what happened, but he poked a hole in Vulcan Kaidao's nest this time by drawing four cards in a row, which directly allowed this magic that he had not practiced much to reach master level proficiency.

Finally, the fifth purple card comes, and a brand new skill comes.

But after reading the introduction of the skills, Wayne showed a slightly pained expression again.

[Big Tongue Whipping: Your tongue will become like a river

The Lord is generally flexible and can be flexed, softened or hardened at will, and its power is determined by the magic power output. 】

He admitted that he was a layman with unhealthy thoughts in his head.

He couldn't think of any serious use for this magic...

Forget it, it's better than nothing.

Wayne shook his head and continued flipping cards.

He found nothing from the remaining purple cards. Finally, he clicked on the golden card.

"…"Hmm? Are you gifted again?"

The young man's spirit was shaken.

[Precision talent "Excessive Treatment": You can convert vitality into physical storage for treatment or increasing lifespan. 】

At first glance, this talent has a lot of overlap with the functions of the Phoenix King.

After all, the Phoenix King could even return from the dead during his heyday, so any rewards related to treatment and lifespan were actually dispensable to Wayne.

But he read it twice more and discovered the most critical point of overdose treatment.

Physical storage...

"Phoenix King..." Wayne called softly, and a bright light appeared in the dark bedroom. Phoenix King landed on the bedside and looked at the boy doubtfully.

"Gather a few fires of life and control them so they don't dissipate."

Wayne absorbed the talent, figured out how to use it, and then ordered.

King Feng always carried out his master's orders without hesitation. Suddenly, several balls of pure white holy flames floated in the air.

Wrapping a ball of fire with magic, Wayne activates his Overhealing talent.

Visible to the naked eye, the flame became dim and its volume shrank, with drops of red liquid condensing from it.

Wayne quickly took out a crystal bottle and filled all the liquids.

The last few flames all dissipated, and the small crystal bottle was only one-third full.

The red liquid is as bright as blood and has a very high concentration. Even if it is shaken vigorously, it does not fluctuate much.

This is the purest vitality, purer than the tears of the Phoenix King and the ashes formed after Nirvana.

Wayne decided to name it eau-de-vie.

In the past, these sacred fires could replenish a person's life for thirty years. That was about the same amount given to Grindelwald last time.

In other words, whoever drinks this bottle of water of life will immediately become thirty years younger, and even an old man can stand up and kick. (Hao Nohao)

"Chirp!"

Feng Wang looked at the bottle curiously.

"You want to drink?" Wayne looked at her doubtfully.

"Isn't this formed by your power?"

"Tweet! Tweet!"

The Phoenix King cried a few more times before Wayne understood what she meant.

This is indeed formed by her power, but compared with the sacred flame, the water of life is purer.

Although it won't be of great help to her, it definitely tastes like hers.

"I'm going to keep these. You can make some more fire and I'll help you process them."

Wayne shook his head and put the bottle away.

Phoenix King flew up happily, this time the amount of divine power was several times greater.

Wayne rolled his eyes at her angrily, but he still worked hard without complaint.

Fifteen minutes later.

Phoenix King drank a whole bottle of water of life into his stomach with satisfaction, groaned softly, and flew out of the window.

the next day.

Wayne got up early, sent Nagini to work in Diagon Alley, and then came to Crouch's retainer.

"Did Dumbledore agree?"

After driving away the house elf Winky, Crouch asked impatiently.

He is now more concerned about the Holy Grail War than Wayne.

Only by confirming the true power of the Holy Grail can the illusory hope in his heart become real.

"No rush yet." Wayne picked up the dessert on the table and took a bite.

"I came here in a hurry, I didn't even eat breakfast.

"Twinkle." Crouch shouted in a deep voice: "Go and prepare breakfast for Mr. Lawrence!"

"Yes, Master!"

Shining responded loudly outside and hurriedly ran into the kitchen.

"Let's go." After finishing the small cake, Wayne clapped his hands and said.

"Where to go?" Crouch was confused: "Don't you want to have breakfast?"

"Isn't there still some time?" Wayne said with a smile:

"It's been a long time since I tortured your son. My hands are itchy now."

Crouch:
