Chapter 243 The Christmas holiday is approaching

Felix relieved to find that Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked serious.

Speaking of which, an idea popped into his mind, not quite clear, but definitely involving the crumbling Pensieve which he had studied throughout last night with no ideas on how to fix it.

Pensieve, memory magic, and a fighting room similar to a thinking room... what would it be if you combined them together?

An image flashed before Felix's eyes.

In the ancient runes class, the young wizards lined up to dive into the Pensieve's thought pool one by one, and the Constructed 'Felix' taught the lesson step by step, the students could even pause, rewind and speed up the process at any time, while they will receive an extra free time... ...

Or perhaps -

He could design an elaborate labyrinth with lots of terrains, a forbidden forest, a swamp ... location didn't matter, in any case, he could let the young wizard's team up in twos and threes and practice dueling in real scenarios with no fear of death.

The trio saw Professor Hap fall into a contemplative state and suddenly muttered half-heartedly, "Must prevent the little wizards from trolling the teacher, they can be too bearish and would definitely do it ..."

Hermione blinked, what is Professor talking about just now?

Felix decided to go back and ask Nicolas Flamel, in addition to him, he could not think of anyone else in the current generation of existing alchemists who could have possibly cracked the secret of the Pensieve.

It would be better to borrow Headmaster Dumbledore's Pensieve for the time being ...well ... he could swear that there is absolutely no intention of snooping into Dumbledore's memory.

'If his idea could be realized, I suppose this might become a magic item with more potential than a magic phone, and would alter the entire wizarding community deeply.' This thought flashed in his mind, and then quickly took root and grew up crazily.

Felix left in a hurry, and before he left, he asked Hermione to keep an eye on the progress of the Christmas Stay-In list, and the little witch nodded responsibly, having become very used to helping the professor with trivial things.

When he left, Harry mumbled, "Thanks - for staying with me, guys." Ron and Hermione both signed the option for staying in that form.

Ron said he didn't want to see Percy's face, "He's got three internship recommendations already, and I can just imagine what Christmas dinner will be like at home - Percy bragging about himself with a prefect badge on top of his big head, Dad giving him a glass of brandy, Mum will kiss his face swollen, and maybe I'll even get to see Penelope ..."

Hermione also thinks she has a lot of tasks to complete, " I have only read the third book of "Chadwick's Charms", and there is no time to spare."

But Harry's heart remained warm and fuzzy because he knew these were all excuses, "Let's go practice dueling." He said. Immediately, Ron's expression turned sour, while Harry and Hermione laughed as they dragged him out of the common room.

"Can I add an extra layer of mats? I mean, maybe more than one layer ..."

...

Nicolas Flamel seemed to be occupied with something else, and through the mouth of the 'young Nicolas Flamel' in the photo, he told Felix that he would send Dumbledore to bring over some of his past research materials.

Felix originally wanted to propose a visit during the Christmas holiday to Nicolas Flamel, but since Nicolas is busy with other things, he can only dismiss the idea. But Christmas gifts still need to be sent, Felix completed a miraculous sneakoscope with amazing enough features, so he will let Dumbledore bring it along.

He believed that Nicolas Flamel will definitely be 'overjoyed' with his Christmas gift.

In addition to Nicolas Flamel, he also prepared a long list of names who he needed to send Christmas gifts, which included both Hogwarts professors and students, as well as some wizard pen pals he knew, and of course, avid fans of the book.

Since Felix's war of words in the Daily Prophet, his identity as a Hogwarts professor became well-known among the public, so it is logical that the fans sent their letters here.

As a result of this, there were a lot of weird letters, including some bold and steamy displays of affection, and Felix couldn't help but scratch his head, because he had never done a book signing, nor had he ever shown his face. What if I'm a sloppy uncle? He put himself in Andys' shoes and got a nasty chill in his heart.

To his amazement, these fan letters included many little wizards who are not old enough to go to school, and they are all loyal readers of " The Strange Adventures of Mick the Wizard", and the letters were sent directly to L.C.A. Comic Publisher and brought to him one day by Dobby the elf.

At that time, he felt a burst of heat in a copper coin, and then several house elves carrying huge packages appeared in his office. Except for Dobby, the other elves were all dressed in a tattered and ragged dress.

After opening the package, it contained a variety of letters and gifts, in order to address the return letter, it took him a good half-day of effort.

And for the five house-elves that Dobby brought over, Felix also carefully checked them one by one, to confirm that they are truly masterless elves, then peacefully gave the green light, after some encouragement, let Dobby take them away.

Their status would be similar to that of the elves in the Hogwarts kitchens, probably a little higher, at least they had a holiday and pay, but of course - not much.

Felix had also considered arranging internships for Hogwarts seventh-years into L.C.A. publisher, but in the end, he dismissed the idea because painting magic is not something that can be mastered in the short term.

Hogwarts students knew nothing about this branch of magic, so a short-term internship would be useless, but he could connect Professor McGonagall and Andys to cooperate and train a group of talented students to master painting magic.

During the summer holiday, all fifth-year students are required to attend a short meeting with their Head of House to discuss their future careers.

During this time, pamphlets and flyers for various professions involving magic would appear in a flurry, and many large corporations - such as Little Red Books, the Daily Prophet, the Gringotts Wizarding Bank, and the Ministry of Magic - would send people over occasionally to advertise.

Felix had also seen the Goblins of the Gringotts when he was in school, which was actually a relatively rare occurrence; usually, such events would be left to the Gringotts wizard staff. Because the goblins are not satisfied with the treatment they are receiving, there is a strong wariness and resentment towards the wizarding community.

Leaving aside the historical rebellions and riots initiated by the goblins, at every meeting held by the International Confederation of Wizards, they would demand that the wizards should lift their monopoly on wands, even though the goblins invariably kept the secrets of their own magic and the crafting methods of enchanted weapons hidden.

Felix guessed that their presence on campus at that time might be related to the fact that the war had just ended, because at that time someone had proposed to withdraw the goblins' right to operate the Gringotts and simply treat them as workers who minted money.

At that time, the Minister of Magic, Millicent Bagnold, held a tough stance, she took over the post when the wizard war was at its peak, and she was the one who approved the order that the Aurors could use the Unforgivable Curse against the Death Eaters.

As an iron-blooded minister, it is hard to say whether she would go along with this proposal, so the goblins repeatedly weighed the consequences and had to make some statements, including permanent neutrality and that they would not take the initiative to start a rebellion, as part of their act to show their support, they visited Hogwarts back then.

...

In the next few days, as the Christmas holidays approached, it became clear that the young wizards' minds were not on their studies, and many were already planning their last trip to Hogsmeade before the holidays to make their holiday purchases.

And Felix relaxed as well. During the last treatment, the Longbottoms went into a deep sleep together, their brains undergoing an important self-repair and metamorphosis, and they might wake up from their slumber in a day, or maybe a month.

But until the day before the holiday, when the young wizards boarded the train for home, Felix did not receive the happy news from St. Mungo. He felt some regret in his heart, but wrote a note solemnly and delivered it to old Lady Longbottom -

"The plan can begin."
