The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"I don't recommend you to ride a camel." Suddenly, a gentle voice came from behind them. The speaker was a very cool young man. Yes, Tom's first impression when he saw him was that he was cool.

The young man is thin, tall, and handsome. He has long red hair tied into a ponytail on the back of his head. Wearing rock-style clothes, fang-shaped earrings, and boots.

When Tom saw the boots, he raised his eyebrows: these boots were actually made of dragon hide. Hogwarts' teaching materials are inseparable from various dragon parts: dragon liver, dragon dung, dragon skin... Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class requires students to prepare dragon skin gloves. The more you see, the more you will know the goods.

When Tom saw the material of the young man's boots at a glance, he realized that this man must have some connection with the wizarding world.

Red hair, British English, and related to wizards, Tom had a rough guess.

He extended his hand to the young man, "Thanks for the reminder, Tom Yoder."

The young man touched his hand and said, "Bill Weasley."

Sure enough, he was from the Weasley family.

"Are you Ron's brother?"

Hearing these words, Bill showed a surprised look. He originally just reminded the two children casually to avoid being deceived, but he did not expect that these two people actually knew his younger brother.

Since they knew Ron, these two people must be students at Hogwarts.

After asking a few more questions, it turned out that what Bill had in mind was confirmed: the two people in front of him were juniors from Ravenclaw Academy.

It was very pleasant to meet fellow students in a foreign country. After the three of them chatted for a few words, Bill took the initiative to take Tom and Hermione around outside the Pyramid of Khufu. Coincidentally, Bill is Gringotts' Cursebreaker. A Cursebreaker is a profession similar to a treasure hunter, responsible for collecting treasures for Gringotts around the world. Bill works in Egypt, and he knows these places of interest very well.

Bill pointed to the bumpy Pyramid of Khufu, "Actually, this thing was very beautiful in ancient times, and there are no traces of weathering or damage on the outside."

Through Bill's mouth, Tom learned that thousands of years ago, these pyramids were actually stacked regularly with snow-white stones, leaving no gaps in the middle. It's just that thousands of years of wind and sand have baptized it into this look.

"Some seniors found a hidden secret room under the claws of the Sphinx and discovered a large treasure." After seeing the Sphinx, Bill remembered the experiences of his seniors, "He was still numb. Inspired by the rumors about the melons.”

After saying this, Bill became serious, "If you find any ruins in the wild, it is best not to rush in, otherwise you are likely to encounter misfortune: traps, remaining magic, ancient curses... The ancient Egyptian wizards left behind A lot of witchcraft was used to protect these treasures. In order to unlock the treasure under the Sphinx, a cursebreaker lost his hearing, smell and sight forever, and another person lived in St. Mungo's forever."

St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Injuries and Injuries is the largest comprehensive hospital for magical illnesses and injuries in the UK. Since St. Mungo's couldn't cure the Cursebreaker, there was no way he could be cured anywhere else.

After visiting the pyramids, the sun was already high above their heads, and Bill took them back to the city. Egypt's urban areas at noon were livelier than in the early morning, and the faint sound of car horns could be heard coming from afar. It replaced the singing of prayers and became the accompaniment of Cairo.

Bill turned around and came to a slightly dilapidated street. Compared with the city center, it was more life-like and the shadow of modern civilization was lighter. As Tom was walking down the street, he even saw a donkey cart carrying goods coming towards him.

They followed Bill to an inconspicuous little restaurant.

There were already many diners sitting in the restaurant, and the ceiling fan on the roof was spinning.

As soon as they entered the restaurant, a waiter in a blue uniform came to greet them enthusiastically and brought the three of them to a table inside. Bill asked Tom to sit down while skillfully ordering a few dishes.

"Outside, learning to eat in Muggle restaurants may be a little troublesome at first - when I first arrived in Egypt, I couldn't tell the difference between British pounds and Egyptian pounds, and I often confused the denominations of currencies, which made my team leader very upset. It’s not pleasant, but you get used to it after living here for a while.”

At this time, various dishes were also put out.

Large skewers of grilled lamb, grilled chicken cut in half, falafel, fried eggplant, scrambled eggs with tomatoes and onions and coriander, and a plate of cucumber strips sprinkled with a thick layer of cheese. There were two pieces of something like white bread on a plate. Hermione took a bite and discovered that they were fried slices of white cheese that were crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Of course, nothing would be missing without the Egyptian flatbread.

Tom took the sizzling and greasy roasted lamb off the skewer and put it on his plate. He also took some Egyptian-style scrambled eggs with tomatoes.

Bill pushed two glasses of orange juice in front of them.

"Children, don't drink." He said.

During the meal, the conversation naturally turned to the purpose of Tom's visit. So Tom shared Dr. Hunter's findings with Bill.

"Is that so? Then I wish you good luck. If it weren't for mom and dad who are coming soon, I will definitely go looking for this city with you." Bill was very interested in this city. In his eyes, the city itself It's a huge treasure - even if there isn't a single gold coin in it.

Many people have a misunderstanding that gold, silver, jewelry, and antiques are treasures. In fact, this is not the case. To the curse breakers, the mechanism itself that protects the treasure is an incredible treasure.

But Bill's energy was also attracted by the checkered picture in Tom's mouth.

"Does it look like this?" Bill quietly touched the table with his wand, and a picture appeared: it was still the familiar 12-square grid, but this picture was arranged in a 3×4 format. Almost identical, the cat with the left eyeball appears in the upper left corner this time.

Tom frowned, and he was keenly aware that this pattern did not seem to be as simple as a "customs declaration form".

"Where did you see that?"

"Gringotts will give many incomplete clues to the treasure. I once saw this pattern in a clue. It was carved on a stone slab." Bill shrugged, "But that clue was hung up. It’s been a hundred years and no one has cracked it.”

Tom looked at the barbecue on the table, and two poems echoed in his ears:

[Museums, Giza, Barbecue, and Nubia in the Night Market

Knowledge, friends, legacy and the secrets in cats】

He felt like he understood.
