Chapter 229 Ethan to Bring the Painting of Light to Hogsmeade Village

Chapter 230 Ethan to Bring the Painting of Light to Hogsmeade Village

A beam of light shines through the window onto the canvas.

The reflection shows a small bird standing on thorns.

It has pale yellow feathers that shimmer with tiny lights, like the warm summer sun.

In this slightly dim bedroom, it appeared as a precious gem.

just.

Those dark eyes were always staring at something outside the canvas.

Without moving or blinking.

Name: The Shrike's Nest

[Type: Portrait]

[Rank: Tier 1 - Blue Rare]

[Description: Its feathers are like gold, its cry is like silver bells, its... oh, look, its beak is as red as blood]

[Effect: The first time you release the shrike, it will guide you to its treasure-filled nest; the second time you release the shrike, it will lead you deep into the wine-like forest; the third time you release the shrike... Hey buddy, what's with your head hanging up there?]

[Evaluation: A stronger, longer-lasting, and more convenient "Felix Felicis", but there are always trade-offs. You should know the shrike's other name, right?]

"So beautiful."

Ethan lovingly stroked the golden body of the shrike on the canvas.

I felt a warm, fuzzy texture on my fingertips.

Painted with golden pigment transformed from sun runes.

It was filled with an atmosphere of light and warmth!

Then, by incorporating Felix Felicis, such as fairy wing powder and scarab powder, the spell is meticulously depicted on the canvas.

finally.

These elements combine to create this incredibly sacred painting!

"Now, let's see who dares to call me wicked; they'll all have to call me a son of justice!"

Ethan gripped his paintbrush tightly, his gaze intense.

As the eye moves across the image, a crimson thorn is visible at the tip of the thorn.

"Although it can only be used twice, it is much more effective than a single dose of Felix Felicis."

It's also cheaper than Folic Acid.

Just thinking about how much Galleon was concentrated in that small bottle of Felix Felicis...

Ethan couldn't help but gasp.

Professor Snape, thank you for your hard work.

I'm sure you'd be very willing to contribute to this great cause.

Ethan thought deeply.

"There will be another opportunity to visit Hogwarts Village before the Christmas holidays."

"Perfect! I'll take advantage of this free time to release the shrike and let it guide me on my way!"

Let Hogsmeade be lit again!!

Amidst the faint chirping of birds, Ethan contentedly put away his painting.

I wonder what kind of treasure we'll find...:

Before the Christmas holidays.

Snowflakes are falling.

As far as the eye could see, everything was pure white.

The heavy snowfall blanketed the castle and the ground with a thick layer of snow, which crunched underfoot.

Hagrid dragged the enormous fir tree as he slowly walked toward the castle.

He waved and greeted the happy students one by one.

The snow-white Buckbeak strolled gracefully to the side, basking in the overflowing praise from humans.

Good morning, Hagrid.

Ethan laughed, waved his wand, and completed the snow sculpture "Contemplative Octopus Head".

I've really fallen from grace, actually using magic to take a shortcut.

He's no longer that innocent boy who made hand-crafted models.

Ethan inwardly berated himself.

Then, he carefully adjusted the angle of the tentacles.

The surrounding snowmen struggled to escape.

"Oh! Good morning, Ethan!"

Hagrid shouted quite enthusiastically.

Then, I saw the octopus head cosplaying as The Thinker.

He choked for a moment, and finally stammered out, "It's really beautiful."

I don't know if it was just his imagination.

He always felt that the octopus head was watching him.

It's as if it's beckoning him to the past.

"The professor has called for everyone to gather. Hagrid, see you later."

Ethan's words rang out.

This startled Hagrid awake.

"Ah, oh, okay, go ahead..."

He rubbed his eyes in confusion.

When you look at the octopus head again, the strange sculpture is still.

Maybe it was just an illusion.

Let's not delve into it further.

At this time.

Hagrid looked up and saw Harry leaning against a stone pillar.

Looking at the overjoyed students, his face was full of resentment.

It looks like a "waiting-for-husband stone".

Hagrid felt a pang of sympathy immediately.

"Oh, poor Harry, without his parents' signatures, he can't even go to Hogsmeade."

Your statement seems a bit too aggressive.

Ethan glanced at Harry and said meaningfully, "I think Harry will always find a way."

I remember, in the original work.

The Weasley twins gave Harry the Marauder's Map, which allowed him to successfully pass through a secret passage and arrive at Hogsmeade Village.

"Ethan is gone!"

Hermione called out from the front, waving her hands.

Ethan nodded to the puzzled Hagrid.

He turned to Luna and said, "Bye-bye, Luna. I'll bring you something delicious when I come back."

"Great! I've always wanted to try the new strawberry-flavored cockroach pile!"

Luna's eyes crinkled into crescents.

He took Ethan's hand and soothed the scorching sun rune mark.

"Ahem," Hagrid cleared his throat awkwardly, then said loudly, "I should get back to decorating the hall! See you later, Ethan!"

Before leaving.

Luna: "[Watch your step] - This is what the moon fairy whispered to me last night."

"Okay, I'll remember that."

Ethan smiled and waved.

Turn around.

A portal opened up in front of the "Guardian" Auror's face.

Auror: ? ! !

With a loud thud, the poor Auror was startled and fell flat on his backside, landing right on the Sleeping Bite Cabbage that the Weasley twins had randomly dropped.

"Bang!"

"Aaaaaah!"

Professor McGonagall exclaimed:

"—Ethan?!!"

Ethan: Hehe.

Ethan stood ramrod straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

It was that Auror who attacked the innocent biting cabbage with his rear end.

Ethan did nothing along the way.

Even the wind and snow couldn't dampen the students' joyful spirits.

Ron drooled, "I want to buy another chocolate ball, stuffed with the purest cream! It's not greasy at all!"

Oh, Pepper Sprite is good too, I can mix it into Fred and George's breakfast....

Hermione: "My parents want some more Honeydukes Hairy Tooth Peppermints! That's when you see the benefits of having a wizard in the house."

"Ethan, is there anything you want to buy?"

Hermione and Ron both looked at Ethan curiously.

Last time, Ethan bought some of all the Honey Duke candies!

This extravagant display of wealth stunned all the students in the store!

The Weasley twins said they had never seen the owner of Honeydukes smile as sweet as honey.

But Ethan did buy it.

But no one saw him eat.

On the contrary, Ravenclaw's "Lovergood" had candy piled up on the table the next day.

But Ethan bought way too much.

They piled up into a mountain.

then.

From the Beacon Society to Ravenclaw, and then to the Great Hall.

In the end, even the newly enrolled first-year wizards were happily munching on quill candies during class.

According to Ethan, he was "so curious about what they tasted like that I bought them all."

One can only say that Ravenclaw truly lives up to his reputation as someone with a thirst for knowledge.

"Hmm...."

Ethan thought for a moment and said:

"I want to go to the Wenrenju quill pen shop. I heard they just got a new batch of Thunderbird feathers."

Once the mind wanders, the pen stops for more than a certain period of time.

It will then shock you.

"!"

Hermione was immediately filled with awe and reverence, saying:

"As expected of Ethan! The number one in talent development programs!"

Always strive for improvement!

Ron: Pain.jpg

He quietly walked away.

He felt that a pitifully thick barrier had already separated him from Ethan and Hermione.
