Chapter 140 Summer vacation homework not completed

After getting off the train, the first-year wizards were taken away by Hagrid. Perhaps because he saw Harry Potter, Hagrid was very excited and walked much faster. Robert didn't even have time to ask him about the summer vacation. Wherever they went, they only had time to say hello to Hermione in the crowd, and the group of freshmen disappeared from their sight.

He turned around and left the station with the twins and got on the carriage parked nearby.

"These cars are really weird." Fred sighed, "They can actually move by themselves. What kind of magic was used?"

George also sighed, "If there is such a magic spell, maybe we can make some toys? For example... a car model that can move on its own?"

Lee Jordan was still playing with his piece of ore and didn't want to pay attention to them.

"Well... I don't want to disappoint you, but I think you may be disappointed." Robert interrupted the exchange between the two, "This carriage does not move because it is enchanted. If you want to peek at the enchantment, it is not possible." possible."

"Not a curse?" The twins looked at each other.

Fred looked at the carriage at his feet in shock, couldn't help but stretched out his hand to touch a few, and then said with admiration, "Hogwarts is really great, there are so many alchemy products, but why did we do it before?" Didn’t you realize that this is actually an alchemical product?”

Robert facepalmed, "Because it's not an alchemical product in the first place!"

The twins were both confused.

Pointing to the front of the carriage, Robert said helplessly, "It's the Thestral."

The twins gasped in unison.

Although I don’t know why, it seems that everyone in the magical world has an almost neurotic reaction to death, mystery, and words starting with black letters.

Or love to the point of madness.

Or be afraid to the point of collapse.

I don’t know if it’s a characteristic of magic.

Because they suddenly knew what was in front of the car, the twins instantly became quiet and seemed a little frightened.

"Actually, you don't have to be afraid of them." Robert took out his rune dictionary and flipped through it boredly, "These Thestrals were raised by Hagrid and they have pretty good personalities. Otherwise, they wouldn't be allowed to pull the carriage, right?" "

The twins thought about it and thought it made sense, so they moved closer to the front of the carriage, hoping to observe this legendary creature up close.

"I heard that the Thestral's tail hair can be used as a staff core." Fred stretched out his hand and touched the front of the carriage, and unexpectedly touched something, "Hey, Robert, you're right, I feel like I've been whipped. Something was drawn!"

"That's its tail." Robert felt that reading a dictionary on the carriage was not a wise choice. He was a little dizzy, so he changed to a book with pictures - "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and casually turned to the Thestral's book. That page.

Thestrals are XXXX level magical creatures and a type of Pegasus. The whole body is dark and skinny, with a pair of broad bat-like wings between the shoulder bones. The dragon-like face has a pair of white eyes without pupils, and when it opens its mouth, sharp fangs can be seen. Has a long black mane and a very long tail. It likes to live in dark places and usually appears deep in uninhabited forests. They have an extraordinary sense of smell and are attracted to the smell of blood, even from very far away.

Different from the plump body, golden body, silver mane, a pair of beautiful big fiery red eyes, elegant and noble temperament, the Thestral Horse has no flesh at all on its body, and the black fur is tightly attached to the frame. Every bone is clearly visible.

For centuries, the Thestral has been a symbol of ominousness, death, and disaster because of its terrifying appearance.

"It does look a bit scary." Fred said looking at the hand-drawn drawing, "But it's just a bit scary. After all, it takes us from Hogsmeade Station to Hogwarts Castle, doesn't it? ?”

"Who knows." Robert shrugged, "How is your order going? By the way, why don't you raise an owl? It will be more convenient to ship the goods."

The twins looked at each other and explained, "Orders outside the school can wait until the weekends and be delivered by the school's owl. Those inside the school can be delivered at any time. In fact, we don't need the owl."

"I think you just want to save money." Robert rolled his eyes, "I hope you can collect enough money to buy a store soon."

The twins smiled and said, "Of course."

Regarding their joke shop, despite Mrs. Weasley's verbal objections, it can be seen from the fact that she did not prevent the two of them from developing new products. Her twins may not go to the Ministry of Magic in the future, but will work as A businessman is mentally prepared.

At present, the two people's plan is to first collect the money for the rent of the store. If possible, it is best to rent a store in Hogsmeade, which is close and easy to manage. Diagon Alley will not be considered for the time being. They will not start developing their careers in Diagon Alley until they are about to graduate.

It’s just that the rent in Hogsmeade is a bit expensive.

The speed of the carriage was still very fast. Not long after, the lights of Hogwarts appeared at the end of the path. When the carriage stopped, the four of them saw a familiar figure.

Dika.

"Welcome back to school, students." Dika said with a smile, "Have you completed the homework I assigned?"

The four of them looked at each other.

They all came up with the results of their vacation.

It's actually a small bag of powder.

Dika opened it and checked it, and nodded with satisfaction, "Okay, even if you are qualified, but this one..."

He pointed at the homework that Li Jordan had just completed, seeming a little distressed, "Are these particles too big? It seems that it is still close to becoming a fan."

Li Jordan lowered his head and dared not speak.

After collecting the homework, Dika turned and left, leaving the four little wizards looking at each other.

"I thought the homework was due tomorrow." Robert sighed, "Why did you ask us for it tonight?"

Lee Jordan was about to cry, "My ore hasn't been ground into powder yet."

Fred patted him on the shoulder and said, "Okay, man, there is nothing we can do about this kind of thing, and you see, some people will do well in summer homework, but some People just write randomly. Just think that you have finished your summer homework."

Lee Jordan still looked gloomy and said, "But what if Professor Dicka doesn't want me to take the alchemy course because I didn't finish my summer homework well?"

The twins then realized that this seemed to be the case.

"How about we go to Professor Dika and ask him to give you another chance?" Fred said uncertainly, "I just don't know if he will agree?"
