Rubik’s Cube of Heavens - Chapter 103: The House
Chapter 103: The House
Taking a deep breath, Coven was completely unable to suppress the anticipation in his heart.
Slightly excited, he waved the ‘Floo Powder’ under his feet and could not help but shout, “Wonderful House!”
Coax
A green flame jumped up from under Coven’s feet and instantly drowned his figure.
In the next moment, Coven’s figure also disappeared.
As if he was lying in a washing machine, after a burst of dizziness, Coven’s body was pulled forward by an invisible force. The feeling of traction quickly disappeared, and inertia made his body fall forward.
Coven, who had already used the ‘Floo Powder’, did not panic and instantly stabilized his body.
After stepping out of the fireplace, he saw a very high-end living room in front of him.
He did not bother to talk to Dumbledore, who was standing in front of him and looking at him with a smile.
Coven immediately began to look left and right, carefully observing the layout of the living room.
Bright brown wood floor, brand-new sand-haired tea sets, bright crystal hanging lights, high-grade hand-hanging carpets on the walls, and a few empty frames.
He turned to look behind him.
In the red brick fireplace, there were brand-new shelves on both sides of the fireplace. There were also some small frames hanging on the wall above the fireplace. Inside were some ‘live’ landscape paintings.
He turned his head again.
A wide arched door was connected to the dining room. The tables and chairs in the dining room were arranged in a neat and orderly manner.
The living room was connected to three other rooms, but Coven could not know what was going on inside because the door was blocked.
Finally, Coven set his eyes on a milky white spiral staircase. Obviously, this house had a second floor.
Dumbledore saw this and finally opened his mouth. He chuckled softly, “There is a master bedroom, platform garden, three guest rooms, and a bathroom on the second floor.”
“Are there more floors?” Coven asked expectantly.
“Of course.” Dumbledore continued to introduce with a smile, “Magic Spell Practice Room, Alchemy Lab, Herbology’s storage and configuring of Potion’s studio, and the same garden platform. When you are tired of work, you can rest there and look at the scenery.”
“This is really…” The smile on Coven’s face almost could not be piled up, and his tone was very excited. “Thank you so much! I like it here so much!”
“Then you have to thank your Professor Flitwick.” Dumbledore smiled and said, “Including the ‘door key’ in your hand and this house. All the household goods inside are all arranged by your Professor Flitwick.”
Coven nodded to show that he understood.
Next, Dumbledore first took Coven to the underground warehouse to have a look and then went up to the second and third floors.
Finally, on the garden platform on the third floor, Coven raised his hand to support the railing on the edge of the platform. Looking forward, he looked at the continuous mountains and lakes in front of him. He could not help but feel that they were so familiar?
After carefully observing for a long time, Coven suddenly froze.
Dumbledore might have been waiting here for a long time, so he immediately smiled and said, “Haha, that’s right! This is the edge of ‘Hogsmeade Village’. Look over there.”
Coven looked in the direction of Dumbledore’s finger and heard him laugh. “Behind that mountain is the black lake. Standing at the top of the mountain, you can clearly see Hogwarts.”
Coven was even more surprised when he heard this. This position was too convenient.
Not to mention that this place was so close to Hogwarts. The other direction was not far away from Hogsmeade, which was almost equivalent to the center of all the British magic towns.
It was the only gathering place that was completely composed of wizards. There were no ordinary people there, and whether it was traffic or wizard’s life, it was very convenient.
“Thank you!” Coven was so happy that he could not help but thank him again. “Thank you and the professors!”
“No, I should be the one thanking you.” Dumbledore patted Coven on the shoulder kindly, “Compared to what you have done, the things we prepared are insignificant.”
Coven did not want to continue to be polite with Dumbledore, so he put the gratitude in his heart and did not mention it again.
Next, Coven continued to look at the entire house with fresh and expectant feelings.
While observing, Coven made plans in his heart about how to decorate this house that completely belonged to him in the future.
…
…
More than a month later, Coven communicated with Nicholas Flamel through the letters during this period, finally making his alchemy knowledge more abundant and professional.
In the end, Coven successfully refined and enchanted a scale that tested the medicinal properties of Herbology.
He handed over the three alchemy devices, the scale, the cauldron, and the stirring rod, to Dumbledore. He spent a few more days perfecting the thesis, and the rest of the matters could only be handled by the professors.
Among them, besides Professor Snape, Dumbledore and the other three deans needed to do a lot of work to publish the thesis.
Snape’s task was the most important. He needed to organize and write a book. He also needed to standardize the standard amount of herbs required to make the Potion.
It was far more difficult for Coven to successfully publish the thesis this time than dealing with the last ‘Dementors’ because there were too many things to deal with and prevent in advance.
Until the end of this semester, Coven still couldn’t hear any news from Dumbledore…
…
Another year-end farewell dinner, and it was Slytherin who won the House Cup.
There was no other way. This year, because of the ban on the forest, Coven and the twins were deducted 150 points.
In addition to the usual deduction of the twins, the loss of Quidditch, and even during the time when Coven constantly harassed Snape, many points were deducted by the other party.
In the end, Gryffindor’s House was only ranked third, and Ravenclaw won second place.
However, Coven did not care about House’s cup. After all, the four deans treated him so well, so he did not have a special sense of belonging to Gryffindor.
Of course, if Professor McGonagall directly asked him to fight for House’s cup, Coven would also go all out and give Gryffindor as many points as possible.
However, Professor McGonagall did not say so in the past three years, so Coven went with the flow and let nature take its course.
After all, next year, the ‘star’ of this world would come to Hogwarts. In Coven’s memory, House’s cup in the next few years would be Gryffindor.
Therefore, Coven did not worry about anything else.
The students of all grades left the school early the next morning. When they arrived at Hogsmeade Village, they either used the floo powder or took the train. They said goodbye to Hogwarts and began to enjoy their vacation life.
Coven used the floo powder to directly teleport into the Diagon Alley through the public fireplace. He greeted the store manager and employees he knew along the way and finally returned to the door of ‘Ollivander Wand Shop’.
He reached out and pushed open the door. With the pleasant sound of the doorbell, Coven entered the store.
However, after seeing the situation inside the store, he could not help but be stunned because Ollivander was talking to someone.
