Chapter 356 The boat of friendship capsizes at the drop of a hat

After hearing Salazar's idea, Helga thought he was a genius. She quickly took out the alchemy ingredients and started working with Salazar.

The task distribution between the two is very clear: give priority to the alchemy items that they are good at, and then solve the rest together.

This work lasted several hours.

As an accessory for mass-produced dolls, Les didn't need to spend too much energy on it. However, Helga was going to show this doll to the officials of the Ministry of Magic, so he could only take it seriously. .

It wasn't until the sun set that Les finished the first set of alchemy tools.

The functions of this set of tools are similar to the necklaces and bracelets that Les gave to Daphne and Astoria, but they are not comparable in quality. One of their props can match a set of components carried on the dolls.

After inserting three ugly cubes into the doll's body, the doll now has the ability to release a defensive spell and an offensive spell every day, and produce a strong explosion after suffering devastating damage.

Hufflepuff also did her part: she installed functions for the doll to clean the floor, cutlery, and make a simple breakfast.

"It can also peel potatoes." Helga said in an inexplicably proud tone.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

Les immediately concealed his figure. After Salazar disappeared, Helga cleared her throat and said to the people outside: "Come in."

The door opened and Cedric, wearing Hufflepuff robes and soaked in sweat, walked in.

"Teacher, the team training is over..." He rubbed his messy hair in embarrassment and told Helga that he was here to help.

Helga raised her eyebrows: Are you really going to train? She thought it was her students who didn't want to be asked to do chores.

In fact, Cedric really didn't want to do chores, and at that time he didn't want to interrupt the upcoming Quidditch practice. But as the training ended, the priorities changed, and he rushed to the teacher's office as soon as possible.

"It's okay. I've finished correcting my homework." Helga poured a cup of hot tea for Cedric. "Drink something. You must be exhausted from training."

Les in the corner curled his lips: I obviously made the changes!

"Ah, that's it! Sorry, I made an appointment with the team members before, so it's not very convenient to change the time." Cedric took the tea cup, still feeling guilty about what he had done: the teacher imparted such precious knowledge to him, But I can't worry about the teacher.

Cedric's performance actually made Helga, the "unscrupulous tutor" who was ready to exploit her students, feel a little guilty: What a good student, let's just have a hard time Salazar in the future!

"Prioritize Quidditch training, homework, etc., I can find other people to grade it for me," Helga's eyes were bright: "Try to defeat other teams and win the Academy Cup championship!"

In Helga's eyes, every honor belonging to Hufflepuff House is precious.

"Okay!" Cedric's fighting spirit was also burning. He felt that this year was the most promising year for Hufflepuff Academy. In the previous game, they defeated Gryffindor. As long as you maintain your form, it is not impossible to win against Ravenclaw and Slytherin.

"Professor, is this the puppet you want to provide for the Ministry of Magic?" After talking about training, Cedric noticed the puppets next to the office and the various materials and parts on the table.

"Yes." Helga introduced her doll with pride. At the end, he also said: "In the future, Hogwarts will definitely set up a special teaching position to repair and replace the parts of the dolls for the Ministry of Magic. If you are interested, I can teach you this knowledge in the future." . I’m sure the salary of this job will be extremely generous. Of course, it’s also great if you want to go out and experience it for two years.”

In order to keep talents like Cedric in Hogwarts, Helga also tried her best, and finally came up with this way: anyway, the maintenance of the Ministry of Magic dolls requires someone from Hogwarts, so this person Why can't it be a student of my own lineage? The funding from the Ministry of Magic every year is not a small amount.

Cedric was moved by the teacher's words. Although the Digory family is a wizarding family, it is by no means as wealthy as the pure-blood family. It can only be regarded as a well-off family. A stable and well-paid job is still very attractive to Cedric.

More importantly, he can stay at Hogwarts! Cedric felt that he could really seriously consider the teacher's proposal.

After that, he exchanged a few words with Hufflepuff and then prepared to leave.

Before Cedric left, Helga told him as usual not to mention his existence to the outside world. Outside this office, he was still Professor Smith White.

When the office door closed, Les appeared.

"It's surprising that you actually revealed your true identity to this student." Les glanced at Helga meaningfully.

Hufflepuff really didn't have anything to say to her student. He could even reveal his true identity. It could be said to be the ultimate level of trust.

"I'm not like you who hide everything from your students, especially some people who make students do hard work without revealing their true identity to the children."

Les looked at Helga calmly, he had his own ideas. When the time comes, he will have a showdown with the Greengrass sisters.

He didn't want to argue with Helga anymore about the education of his children, so he turned his attention to the half-finished doll.

"Keep working, we still have a lot of work to do."

In the next three days, except for attending more important classes, Rice spent the rest of his time in the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's office.

Thanks to his and Helga's efforts, a new automatic combat doll was released.

Although Les didn't know the level of the Aurors, he felt that there was a high probability that the Aurors were no match for this doll. As for how many Aurors you can fight, you have to practice.

"Okay, I've finished correcting your homework for you, and the doll has been made for you. Helga, it's time to make an equal exchange." Les stared at Helga, hinting that it was time for her to "deliver the goods." .

Helga also understood that if she continued to force Les to do it, it would be difficult for her to end it after he got the plan, so she simply handed over her teaching experience to Les.

Seeing that Helga did not continue to assign tasks, Les's face looked much better.

After Helga brought over the parchment filled with her thoughts and the crystal bottle containing her memories of that day, Les couldn't wait to read through it.

After reading Helga's experience, Les had only one thought: Helga Hufflepuff, the boat of my friendship with you has capsized!
