Chapter 134 Fried Tail Lobster
The days passed like this.
In addition to attending classes and studying knowledge every day, Xie Lin also regularly participates in the activities of the Sleeping Dragon Club.
He already has a preliminary grasp of the contents of the "Book of Ancient Dragon Language". Of course, he doesn't have the ancient "power of the dragon" in his blood, so he doesn't think he can cast spells in ancient dragon language.
He also knew the truth of being greedy, so he gave up studying black magic, and instead focused his research on transfiguration. After all, he had the blood power of Transfiguration Magus, plus the secret spells of the Black family, "Forbidden Transfiguration", and "Various Changes", which gave him a unique advantage in the field of transfiguration.
Well, by the way, he still needs to take care of Zhang Qiu more. He hasn't forgotten that Zhang He promised his Zhang family's secret transfiguration technique.
In addition, he does not intend to give up the study of space magic and ancient runic spellcasting, but the learning resources for these two aspects are very scarce, and they are hard to come by, so there is not much progress.
As for the Sleeping Dragon Society, at least 4 exchange activities have been held.Under his guidance, the members of the organization gradually showed significant improvement in their academic performance and practical ability.Sisters Astoria and Carlo became the existence that crushed everyone in the second grade, and they both added a lot of points to Slytherin House.
Soon, October 10 came in a blink of an eye.
Hagrid's Cottage, Care of Fantastic Beasts class.
Hagrid stood outside the cabin door, one hand on the collar of his huge hound Fang.There were several open wooden boxes on the ground at his feet, and a strange rattling sound came from the boxes, occasionally accompanied by faint explosions.
This is the magical animal that Hagrid mainly teaches this semester—the fried-tailed snail. This is a new species artificially bred by him by crossbreeding manticores and fire crabs.
They looked like deformed and shelled lobsters. They were gray and slimy, and they looked terrible, with many legs sticking out in all directions, and it was impossible to see where the heads were.They also had a very strong smell of rotten fish and shrimp.Every now and then, a few sparks would shoot off their tails, and with a soft snap, they'd be propelled forward a few inches.
It has been almost two months since school started, and the students still haven't figured out what they like to eat.
Hagrid was so delighted that, as part of his "project," he suggested that they come to his cabin every other day to observe the snails and record their unusual behaviour.
"I'm not coming," Draco said unequivocally, "I've seen enough of this nasty stuff in class, thanks."
The smile faded from Hagrid's face.
"Do as I say," he growled. "It's homework! Everyone has to participate, what qualifications do you think you have to make an exception?"
Blaise Zabini let out a disdainful sneer.
Hagrid still remembered how much trouble he had caused to his most respected Headmaster, Dumbledore, because of Blaise last semester, and suddenly anger ignited in his heart, and he glared at Blaise angrily, "What do you mean?"
"What's the point? Draco asked you before—why do we raise them? What can they do? What's their use?" Blaise sneered, "You, as a professor, didn't choose to answer, which is considered dereliction of duty, but it doesn't matter, you said at that time, that's the content of the next class..."
"It's been almost two months since we started school, and even this group of monsters has grown up so much, you still haven't figured out the answer? How did you become a professor? Are you embarrassed?" Blaise said.
"They don't look very good, but it doesn't mean they are useless." At this time, Hermione couldn't stand it anymore, she stood up and retorted, "Dragon blood has magical effects, but are you willing to keep a fire dragon as a pet?"
Draco said coldly: "Granger, because of my younger brother, I chose to let you go last time. Are you still going to make trouble? You can call Potter and Wesley two useless people. Let's find a time. I will beat you three alone!"
Again!
This damned, familiar scene!
Schelling had a headache.He wasn't sure what Draco meant when he said these words. It had been so long since last semester, and he had brought up the old things so deliberately. If it wasn't to hurt his prestige, Schelling wouldn't believe it.
Schelling hadn't reacted yet, and Harry and the others on the opposite side couldn't sit still.
Ron, who had the worst sense of inferiority complex, felt insulted. He blushed all over his face and showed fierce eyes. He immediately drew out his wand and said angrily, "If you want to fight, hit him! Whoever is afraid of you! You don't have to choose another day to fight again. Now you can draw out your wand!"
"It's just you?" Draco's eyes showed coldness, he slowly pulled out his wand, and said with a sneer, "Let Potter come with me, I'm afraid people will say that I bully the weak..."
Hermione's eyes flashed flustered, and her rationality told her that she had to stand by Ron and Harry. Draco and Blaise were obviously deliberately provoking trouble, but she remembered what happened last semester, which made her still unable to make up her mind to make a decision.
She bit her lower lip, looking at Harry and Ron who were looking at her expectantly, feeling very bitter in her heart.
What Xie Lin said in Defense Against the Dark Arts class resounded clearly in her heart. The familiar and deep voice seemed as if Xie Lin really spoke in her heart: "In order to protect the people around me, I have to give up a friendship..."
"I really... have to be an enemy of Slytherin all the time, is it really... irreparable with him?"
"Forget it, this incident started because of me. It was because of my talk that caused all this. I will bear the consequences!"
Thinking of this, Hermione felt a pain in her heart, stood in front of Harry and Ron, and drew out her wand.
"Malfoy! This matter has nothing to do with Harry and Ron. If you want to duel, I will accompany you alone!" Hermione said domineeringly, but her hand holding the wand kept shaking, and she did not look like a duelist at all.
Draco showed a contemptuous expression, staring fixedly at Hermione's wand, but the wand in his hand was raised slowly, as if in slow motion.
Xie Lin frowned, he clearly felt Draco peeping at him!
Draco's eyes were on the Harry trio ahead of him, but he was actually looking at himself!
If in the past, it would be no wonder that Draco didn't sneak attack first, what's going on with Draco now, he is so arrogant that he would fight three against one as soon as he opened his mouth, and now it seems that he still has to wait for the other party to attack first.
Looking at Hermione's virtue again, even if Draco let Hermione take the lead, I'm afraid she will only be crushed.
Hagrid roared loudly, "What's the matter with you, do you think that I, the professor, don't exist?" He strode forward, wanting to stop the dispute, but was blocked by a figure.
Blaise played with the wand in his hand, and said softly: "Professor Hagrid, although we call you a professor, in our opinion, your knowledge and teaching ability seem to be greatly questioned, or else——" Blaise's eyes showed an inexplicable light, and the corner of his mouth raised a playful smile, "I want to challenge you to see if the professor's strength is really enough to be a professor?"
Whispers and sneers echoed among the young Slytherin wizards.
Since the establishment of the Faculty Hiring Committee, the majesty of the professor in the original book has disappeared.Most interestingly, most of the power to veto professors rests with Slytherin parents.This makes Slytherin wizards a lot less in awe of the professors.
In addition, the deeds of the two Malfoy brothers fighting against the prestigious Professor Moody in public made them understand that the professor is not invincible.
"Bastard!" Hagrid became impatient, blurting out even swear words. Being questioned about his professorship was the last thing he could face, and he was also worried that Harry and the others would suffer. The Malfoy brothers were not easy to mess with. He was angry and impatient at the same time, but he couldn't think of any solution.
"Stop arguing, no matter what Professor Hagrid says, he is still a professor, a professor who was hired in a legitimate way—" Schelling said, "Brother, Blaise, I don't think we should speak to a professor in this tone, which is against the nobility of our family."
Sherring paused for a moment, then continued: "As far as the facts are concerned, what Miss Granger said actually makes some sense. I've actually learned some inside information from Professor Dumbledore. The cultivation of snails has a license issued by the Department of Magical Creatures Control of the Ministry of Magic. It will be used in the Triwizard Tournament, so it is not useless. I think we should follow Professor Hagrid's instructions and raise them well!"
Sure enough, as soon as the inside story of the Triwizard Tournament was mentioned, the focus of the little wizards was immediately shifted. Several people began to show interested expressions at the snails, and started whispering among themselves.They all want to know the role played by snails in the Triwizard Tournament, and what events in the Triwizard Tournament may use snails.
A complex look flashed in Draco's eyes, he pretended to be dissatisfied with a cold snort, and turned to leave.
Blaise showed a playful smile and said with a smile: "Of course, we all listen to you, Schelling."
The other little wizards in Slytherin looked at Draco and then at Sherin, not knowing what happened to the two brothers, and fell silent for a while.
Schelling shook his head, and directed the rest of the young wizards in Slytherin to use the Levitation Charm to separate half of the number of snails into separate boxes, so that they could only feed one snail each time, greatly reducing the chance of injury.
Schelling still remembered that in the original book, although they didn't find out what the fried-tailed snails liked to eat in the end, they still grew to ten feet long.
The little wizards of Gryffindor saw Slytherin's method and started to do the same, but they obviously didn't master the Levitation Charm well enough. Dean Thomas was stung with a few pustules, and Seamus Finney almost detonated a snail. Fortunately, Hagrid's reaction was fast enough. He quickly grabbed the snail and threw it far away.
Hermione hesitated for a long time, and finally plucked up the courage to walk to Xie Lin's side, and said softly, "Mr. Malfoy, thank you."
Schelling looked at Hermione, sighed, and said, "You're welcome, you're not to blame for this incident... I want to apologize to you instead, my brother... Forget it, let's not talk about it..." Schelling knew well that this incident was clearly initiated by Draco, and it was aimed at Hagrid on the surface, but in fact he was not trying to lure the Potter trio to their end. After all, the final target was probably himself.
"If there is nothing else," Xie Lin said immediately after hearing Daphne's call, "My companions are calling me, so I'll go get busy first."
Hermione pursed her lips as she watched the back of Schelling leaving.Hermione was not stupid, although she didn't know what happened, but she had a feeling - she must have caused trouble for Schelling just now.
Why do I always make trouble for you?
Hermione suddenly became irritable.
She remembered that the last time when Schelling had a falling out with her, she was the same, and couldn't control her emotions, so she almost got into a fight with Slytherin. Although Schelling said the words very heartlessly, he didn't mean to protect her.
She bit her lower lip tightly, and repeated to herself in her heart, there would be no next time!absolute!
"You've done so much for me. Every time I'm in danger or hurt, you're helping me and comforting me—" Hermione made up her mind, "I've had enough. Next time, I'll do it for you!"
After Care of Fantastic Beasts class, the little wizards returned to the castle, and the hall was full of little wizards.
At the foot of the marble staircase, a large notice was erected.
"What are they looking at?" Daphne asked curiously.
Schelling's god-sighted Amaterasu could see the contents of the notice clearly from a distance, so he said, "It's about the Triwizard Tournament. I'll read it to you. Representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will arrive at 10:30 p.m. on Friday, October [-]. The afternoon class will end half an hour earlier. At that time, please send your schoolbags and textbooks back to the dormitory and gather in front of the castle to welcome our guests and then attend the welcome banquet."
"Only a week away!" Daphne's eyes sparkled. "Sherin, are you going to participate in this competition?"
Xie Lin couldn't deny it, "Let's see it first, then we will have to see what method Dumbledore uses to screen out adult wizards. To be honest, I don't have the confidence to break through the magic restrictions set by the strongest wizards of our time."
The collection suddenly soared, and the author suddenly had tears in his eyes.To be honest, although the author does not rely on writing to make a living, the grades of this book are quite shocking. The sudden improvement in grades really surprises the author!
