Chapter 42 The Academy Cup was plucked

Although Hagrid gave those unicorn hairs to Robert, he didn't stop there.

Hagrid really had a lot of good things here, but he didn't care about them. Robert had put some books about animals in the Muggle world in the cloth belt before, and he just happened to give them to Hagrid at this time, and he also gave a psychological set. Study works.

I just hope that this upright mixed-race giant can improve before he gets a job as a professor...

"This is the egg of a bird and snake." Hagrid introduced, "Isn't it very beautiful, but it's a pity that the little guy inside can't see the world." He sighed, seeming very sad.

He picked up another dark green feather and said, "This is the feather of the fortune teller. It's a pity that it can't be made into a quill, otherwise it will be a big seller."

Robert searched for a long time, and finally found a large piece of dark brown bark where he piled firewood.

"That's the bark of the guardian tree." Hagrid introduced. "Part of its trunk was struck to death by lightning. I dragged them back."

As he spoke, he also pulled out a dark charcoal-like tree trunk, the surface of which was carbonized. "I thought I could take this back and use it as firewood..."

Robert looked at the bark and then at the trunk, rolled up his sleeves, "Split into pieces."

As the incantation was uttered, the dry trunk on the outside of the guardian tree was peeled open, revealing the dark brown core inside.

"There is still... a piece of wood for burning fire." Robert looked at the piece of wood with some toothache. Although it was more than two meters long, it was only as thick as a palm, and it was not enough to make Hagrid's fire.

Hagrid scratched his head, "How about you take this away too? The Dharma Protector Tree also has the effect of exorcising evil spirits. Well, even though it was struck by lightning..."

"Okay, then thank you Hagrid." Robert suddenly remembered that there is something called lightning strike wood in the Flower Country, which is mainly made of jujube, peach, and willow. He didn't expect to see people being struck by lightning in the Rotten Country. The guardian tree, maybe you can trade this with someone for something to give to Hagrid.

"By the way, maybe this bark can be used." Robert looked at the bark curiously, "Why do you feel that this bark has not been affected?"

Hagrid glanced at the piece of bark and then said, "The carbonized part fell off on the road. This is the only piece left. I was going to throw it into the stove together."

Pulling at the bark, Robert felt that this thing could be used to make the shell of a nest...

After returning from Hagrid, the three of them began to transform these materials. When night fell, they finally came up with such a thing.

The dark brown cat nest looks like a double-eared wooden basin, and the golden embroidered cat pad is filled with a lot of unicorn lanugo hair, making it soft and fluffy.

"I think we may not be able to give it to Mr. Filch directly?" Robert suddenly thought with a toothache that Mr. Filch had an extraordinary love for his cat. If he just gave it to him, he might think it was a cat. What dangerous items were thrown out?

The twins patted him on the shoulder and said listlessly, "Man, this job is left to you, we are going to be starving."

With that said, the two quickly ran away and disappeared at the end of the corridor.

Robert looked confused. In the end, he could only put the things at the door of Mr. Filch's office, leave a note, and turned back to the dormitory.

The next day, on the way to the auditorium, he passed by the administrator's office. The cat's nest was gone, and he didn't know whether it had been taken away by Mr. Filch or thrown away by him.

Robert felt like he was free again. He was stirring the oatmeal with a spoon out of boredom when he heard the sound of flapping wings.

Subconsciously, he picked up the tableware in his arms. A brown owl threw a package to him, and then a newspaper was thrown down.

"Cornelly Fudge - the new Minister for Magic".

Robert looked up and saw the title and shrugged. He looked at the package in his hand with some confusion. What is this? The Evening Prophet's betting spree?

When I opened it, I saw a crumpled letter. It said thank you to Mr. Leslie for participating in the prize-winning guessing activity and receiving a mysterious gift.

Below is a golden quill and a small bottle of ink.

Robert took out the quill and looked at it carefully. He didn't find anything different about it, except for the strange patterns engraved on the quill.

"This is a copy quill." Cedric's eyes lit up when he saw the thing in his hand. "I have wanted to buy it for a long time. It is said that it can automatically copy the books you see for you."

Robert scratched his ears, a little puzzled, "Isn't there a replicating spell? Why do you need this thing?"

Cedric stared at him for a long time with a look that Robert couldn't understand at all. Until he felt uncomfortable, he said quietly, "Because I can't copy the spell..."

Just then the twins came running over, "Hey Robert, we got a quill."

"Mine is a shorthand pen, and Fred's is a graffiti pen." George said, holding up the quill in his hand, "I think you will like this."

As he spoke, he handed over the quill.

Robert looked at the purple shorthand pen in the box in surprise. This thing was not common. George was so lucky.

"Well, it seems I can't keep my copy pen." Robert looked sad and handed the pen in his hand to George, "If you like this pen, I'll give it to you. , I can’t use it anyway.”

When George saw the pen, his eyes suddenly changed, "With this pen, I won't have to write so many words myself the next time I have fun for Filch!"

Robert was stunned for a moment, and then said with a bit of laughter, "Hey, you can copy the information when the professor assigns homework!"

"That's it, let's exchange." With that said, George handed the shorthand pen to Robert and ran away with the carbon pen.

Robert looked at the motionless quill in his hand and felt a little sad. What was the use of this thing...

Robert spent the last time of the semester in the library. Although Mrs. Pince was very serious, she would not trouble him as long as he did not destroy the books.

After a school year of hard work, the House Cup was actually won by Ravenclaw at the year-end banquet. This confused the other three houses. What happened? How did Ravenclaw win?

Thinking back on this school year…

While Gryffindor and Slytherin were fighting, Ravenclaw was watching.

While Hufflepuff and Slytherin were fighting, Ravenclaw was watching.

While Gryffindor, Hufflepuff and Slytherin were fighting, Ravenclaw was still watching.

Ravenclaw: Eating melon makes me happy.

Of course, this does not mean that the Ravenclaw guys have always stayed out of the matter. They always secretly help find the professor when Gryffindor or Hufflepuff is defeated. However, the professor's lethality is a bit indistinguishable. So when the other three houses were losing points crazily, Ravenclaw, who didn't lose points, just won?

The little eagles said that this victory came really dull.
