Chapter 883 Santa's Hometown

When Hermione finished reading the story, she closed the book and stretched.

William handed over his goji berry thermos, and after she took it, she moistened her throat.

Hermione put down the cup, put the book away again, then turned to look at William, puzzled and said:
"I read the story "The Snow Queen" when I was a child, but it is different from the current version in many places."

"This is normal," William said softly: "The story is prone to change during the process of being circulated.

I asked about twins.

They listened to the story of the three brothers told by Mrs. Weasley, which took place at midnight.

The "Tales of Beedle the Poet" given by Dumbledore took place at dusk.

Also, there are many different versions of the story of the three brothers alone.

There is no difference, which is strange. "

Hermione was thoughtful, and then whispered: "But Lapland is so large, which village should we go to?"

William reached out and rubbed her head, and smiled:
"If we're looking for reindeer, there's only one village in Lapland...that's our destination.

That place is famous, but you didn't remember it? "

Hermione looked at William in bewilderment, tilted her head and thought for a moment, but still didn't remember.

But William didn't mean to say it, and he was still playing tricks hatefully.

Hermione stared at his smug smile, rolled her eyes, and she, who was sitting sideways, suddenly leaned forward, squeezing one of his arms with her chest.

William didn't pay much attention to it at first, only that Hermione was sitting in his arms, a little uncomfortable, and wanted to change her position.

But when her arms became more and more clearly felt, her uneasy upright... William began to feel hot all over.

Oops, the heater must be turned on too high!

Of course, there is also friction to generate heat.

Seeing her success, Hermione blocked William's approaching claws as expected, then knelt on the carpet and hid to the other side.

After climbing a few steps, she turned her head and smiled triumphantly:
"Don't tell me where you are!!"

William grabbed Hermione's white ankle, and the girl screamed, wriggling on the blanket like a caterpillar.

But William just pulled her lightly and dragged her back into his arms, not allowing her to move.

Hermione leaned her head back, resting her head on William's arm, winking like silk, looked up at this bad guy, and asked coquettishly:

"Where is it, tell me quickly!"

William stretched out his hand, slid into her neckline, held a smooth and plump ball, and smiled contentedly:
"If you can beat me tonight, I'll tell you..."

He reached in with both hands, and Hermione breathed heavily and let out a soft nasal sound.

It's snowing heavily,

The reindeer pulled the carriage and ran smoothly in the snow.

The sound of creaking and creaking sounded continuously.

I don't know if it was caused by the wheels running over the snow...or something else.

The carriage ran over, and there were only two lines of clear car marks on the ground.

……

……

lapland,

It is an extremely vast area.

It is located in the northern part of Norway, Sweden, and Finland, and also includes the northwestern part of Russia near the Arctic Circle.

Three-quarters of it is within the Arctic Circle, with unique polar scenery and indigenous ethnic customs.

Due to its special geographical location, it is also one of the best places in the world to watch the aurora.

Of course, Lapland is most famous not only for the aurora, but also for Santa Claus.

The hometown of Santa Claus is Santa Claus Village in Lapland, northern Finland.

This is also the beginning of the legend of Santa Claus.

In fact, there have always been disputes in various countries about the hometown of Santa Claus.

Not to mention the five Nordic countries, they were really battling for orthodoxy.

In addition, there is a vote of countries such as Germany, the Netherlands, and Canada.

They all believe that Santa Claus is from their own country.

It doesn't matter if it's right or not, anyway, let's talk about it first!

This is a bit like the competition for the hometown of celebrities in the Great Heavenly Dynasty in the previous life.

The hometown of the Yellow Emperor, the hometown of Lao Tzu...even the hometown of Temo Ximenqing, they are all in contention!

Still, the Santa's Hometown debate is...almost closed.

Because it was just four months ago, on Christmas Eve in 1995.

United Nations Secretary-General Gurry wrote a letter to Santa Claus to send holiday greetings.

And this letter was sent to Santa Claus Village in Lapland.

This is the official seal of the United Nations, officially acknowledging that Finland is the hometown of Santa Claus.

Why almost?

Because in response to this official "immoral" behavior, this year's No.40th World Santa Claus Congress launched a vote.

The hometown of Santa Claus voted for is Greenland.

The reason why Greenland was elected is also very simple:
The organizer of the conference has always been Denmark, and the chairman of the conference is also... Danish.

Then you must choose your own country.

Of course, in order to maintain orthodoxy, Santa Claus in Finland refuses to participate in this kind of assembly.

They claimed that the other party was a copycat old man!

Regardless of the debate, it is undeniable that:

In the Lapland region, if you want to find reindeer and clues to the Palace of the Snow Queen, you must come to Santa Claus Village.

And Grindelwald's location is just in the Palace of the Snow Queen...that is, north of the North Sea!

……

……

early morning,

The black carriage that had been creaking all night finally stopped making noise and stopped in mid-air.

The carriage has already cast the Disillusionment Charm, so there is no need to worry about being seen by Muggles.

William, whose body seemed to have been hollowed out, opened the window, supported his old waist, and stood on the carriage watching, looking for traces of the wizard.

Of course he lost last night, so he had to honestly tell Hermione the address.

And they are now on the outskirts of Santa Claus Village.

Wizards generally like to mix with Muggles, and pure wizarding villages like Hogsmeade are rare.

So, there must be wizards or... magical creatures in this village.

For example, the Snowman and Olaf in the Snow Queen story.

Maybe, Grindelwald can be found here.

However, it was already daytime, but the sky was still dark and visibility was not high.

the reason is simple:
Lapland is located in the Arctic Circle, and it is still in the polar night month. From the end of March to the beginning of April, it will return to the polar day again.

The Easter holiday happens to be at this alternate node, so the polar night will not last for a few days before you can enjoy the polar day.

While William was searching, he suddenly heard singing from the village.

The voice was ethereal and graceful, as if it had magic power, attracting others.

William was stunned for a few seconds. He suddenly remembered something and took out a blue conch from the safety watch.

He put the conch in his ear, and a magical song rang out.

This conch was a Christmas present from Fleur, and it has Veela singing in it...helps with sleep.

Although the singing in the village is different from the melody in the conch, the magic... feels like it has the same root.

Hermione poked her head out of the carriage. She hadn't recovered from her exhaustion and wanted to sleep in. She said excitedly:
"William, this wand is hot. There are veela in the village!"

William turned to look at Hermione, who was holding a wand.

This wand was Fleur's Christmas gift to William earlier.

The core of the wand is Furong's hair... As a mixed-race Veela, her hair also has magical powers and can be used to make wands.

But it was too sensitive, and William had trouble using it.

Hermione unexpectedly fit perfectly, so she kept holding it and used it as a second wand.

Apparently, the wand also felt the magic of the Veela singing.

It's entirely possible.

In Ollivander's words:
"Wands choose wizards, and they learn from wizards."

Grigovich also believes:

"Wands are almost sentient, and although they can't think or communicate like humans, they can still exhibit certain behaviors according to their own wishes."

At this moment, this veela core wand is autonomously perceiving veela.

"Come on, let's go to the village."

William swung the rein, sending the reindeer to the ground.

He suddenly thought of Professor Babling... This mixed-race Veela is from Northern Europe.
