The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Looking at Crookshanks leaving, Hermione complained: "I didn't expect that even Crookshanks could receive a Christmas gift."

"Please, Crookshanks helped Sirius a lot." Tom shrugged, "But speaking of gifts, besides what I gave you, what else did you receive?"

Hermione's eyes wandered for a moment, and she hesitated to express that she didn't receive anything.

This is a lie. Of course He received Christmas gifts from other people. Naturally, the Grangers didn't need to say more. They gave their daughter a toothbrush set of the same style as Tom's. There was no difference except for the different colors of the toothbrushes inside.

But this gift set is not the point. The point is that the things Hermione's roommates gave her were more and more inappropriate. Su Li gave him a bottle of perfume, and the name seemed very inappropriate: Zhan Nan. It is said that once sprayed on, it can make men fascinated.

Hermione stuffed the thing at the bottom of the box without thinking - she was good at potions and knew exactly what a perfume with this effect meant.

Padma gave her a book, a best-seller in her hometown: "Kama Sutra", an ancient Indian book on philosophy and psychology, which contains many postures, secret tricks and tips. scholar. However, it would be a bit one-sided to think that there are only such colored things in it. Because the purpose of writing this book is actually to prevent divorce.

The logic of the whole book is 'Let happy lovers achieve happier marriages'. In its depiction, sex is sacred and demands the complete unity of body and mind from lovers. Apart from some dazzling gestures and acrobatic moves, the Kama Sutra is primarily a handbook on the entire relationship between men and women. It touches on social relationships, emotional harmony, and finally physical pleasure between men and women.

Padma had explained this in the gift package, so Hermione didn't stuff the book and the bottle of perfume together, but put it in her bag.

Tom knew Hermione well, and he could tell at a glance that this girl wasn't telling the truth. But since she didn't want to say it, there was always a reason, and he didn't have to force her. You will know in the future if you observe slowly. Anyway, the list of gift givers is only a few, so it is not difficult to guess.

After the two of them disposed of the Firebolts and cat food, they continued to do their homework - the episode just made them waste a lot of time, and they had to race against time to get it back.

Soon, it was lunch time. Mrs. Granger came downstairs while combing her hair and went to the kitchen to make lunch for the family.

Tom saw Mrs. Granger taking out yesterday's leftover turkey and bread from the refrigerator, so he decided to go see Huck today without further ado.

"I have something else to do, so I'll excuse you." He said it as he said, and before Hermione could react, Tom had already walked to the door.

"After lunch -" Hermione stretched out her hand, trying to retain her - this was a new force, how could they just run away? Unfortunately, it was too late. Tom didn't hear her, or maybe he heard Hermione clearly.

Snapped!

After a loud bang, Tom disappeared.

Hermione: ...

She covered her forehead helplessly: Why don't you take me with you!

Huck was standing on the windowsill, smoking one pipe after another. He frowned, as if something was bothering him.

"Should I support Duncan or Eric?" Huck was entangled. Duncan was the finance minister and Eric was the foreign secretary. Both of them were strong contenders for the new prime minister.

The resignation of the old prime minister is already a certainty - since he gave his Christmas speech, everything has been irreversible. Unless a large-scale war suddenly breaks out, no one can prevent him from leaving office.

For Huck, the most important thing is to gain a firm foothold in the new round of reshuffles, not to mention seeking benefits, but at least not to lose his current status.

If you want to reap benefits, you have to go to one of Duncan or Eric, and then support him to become the new prime minister. This is the easiest way, and this is also the most difficult way. Because in this two-choice game, if you make a mistake, you will lose all your capital.

Even more coincidentally, both of them extended an olive branch to Huck. But here's the problem, Huck actually expressed support for both of them...

When he came to his senses, he realized that he seemed to have done something stupid, so he became distressed.

"Lunch is ready, dear." Huck's wife Anne's voice came from inside the house.

"I know, wait until I finish smoking this pipe," Huck replied, and then took a long puff on the pipe. Then there was a loud bang, and Huck was so frightened that he almost dropped his pipe.

Huck's first reaction was that someone had shot him! Someone is sniping at him! The moment he heard the explosion, Huck felt as if the flow of time had slowed down. Although he could not move his body, thousands of thoughts were running through his mind.

What a fool I was, really. All I knew was that I shouldn't go for a drive in a convertible, but I didn't know that smoking on the balcony was just as risky.

What will Annie do after I die?

I don’t know if those two guys, Humphrey and Bernard, will be sad for me... My funeral will definitely promote the implementation of countless policies. Bureaucrats can only work most efficiently at funerals.

A few days ago, I was thinking that a high-ranking official should hold a funeral, but I didn’t expect that the protagonist of the funeral would be me...

If I hide behind the flowerpot, I should be able to dodge this bullet, right?

Wait, why am I not dead yet?

Huck came back to his senses and found that he was safe and sound, but there was a handsome young man in front of him. He stood quietly on the other side of the balcony looking at him, like a marble statue. His eyes were extremely calm and deep, unlike what he should have at his age. Looking into his eyes was like looking into a deep lake.

The wind blew a strand of hair hanging down from his forehead, and the boy said in a nice voice: "Good afternoon, Mr. Huck."

Huck tried hard to search for the image of this young man in his mind, but found that he did not know such a person at all.

"I'm Lockhart, or Tom Yoder. We met in the Legation Quarter before."

When Tom said this, memories flooded into Huck's mind. He suddenly recalled what he had experienced that night.

"Won't you invite me to come in and sit down?"

"Oh, please come in." Huck woke up from a dream and quickly invited Tom into his home.

At this time, Annie came to the two of them with a plate of turkey sandwiches.

Tom:…

Behind the Scenes: Tom didn't just Apparate onto Huck's balcony all at once. In fact, he can't teleport that far at once. He first left Granger's house, then took a taxi to the vicinity of Huck's house, and finally teleported there.
