Chapter 190 Hagrid and the Book of Monsters
"Ginny, this is yours."
Madam Malkin's Robe Shop,
Raven placed a small pile of gold Galleons in Ginny's hand, and then called Ron over,
"Come here Ron, this is yours."
Looking at the weird smile on Raven's face, George Fred's expression was very strange. Raven would not be so happy just because he gave such a small amount of Galleons.
There must be something weird about this golden galleon.
When Ms. Molly saw Raven handing out money to her brothers and sisters, she hurriedly walked to the front desk while she was dragging Percy to try on clothes.
"Raven, you don't have to pay for school at home. Do you remember that dad won the Daily Prophet's Gold Galleons award some time ago?
We only spent 500 gold galleons to go to Romania, and there are still 200 left, which is enough for your new semester. "
Mr. and Mrs. Weasley never let Raven spend money on tuition fees for his brothers and sisters.
So I rushed over to stop him,
"Remember? The book purchase certificate I opened at Flourish and Blotts Bookstore last year?"
Raven explained with a smile,
"Because Lockhart is a big liar, those books are worthless. Hogwarts will fully compensate the students for their losses. This is the compensation offered by the generous Mr. Dumbledore. Come on, come on, Everyone has a share.”
Raven said as she stuffed the gold Galleons into Percy's pocket.
You know, I bought 6 Lockhart books last semester! It cannot be reused like other subjects.
Therefore, the Weasley family actually paid for 30 books! (Raven owns it)
In terms of textbooks in the new school year, Percy will use Charlie's, Ron will use George Fred's, and Ginny will use Ron's, which saves three sets of supplies.
Calculating it this way, the compensation from a Defense Against the Dark Arts course alone is enough to cover the entire expenses of the Weasley family today.
This also includes a new set of robes for Percy who was promoted to Head Boy!
After hearing Raven's explanation, Ms. Molly once again praised Dumbledore's fairness.
The Wolong Phoenix chick, who discovered the blind spot, had to sneak close to Raven.
"I remember our family only bought 5 sets of Professor Lockhart's books last year, right?"
"Why do you still have gold Galleons on hand? We didn't buy the sixth set?"
"You shouldn't have reimbursed your set, right?"
"I remember you bought it a long time ago! Can this be reimbursed?"
Looking at the malicious smiles of the two,
Raven Tactics coughed and laughed.
However, he knew very well the character of his two brothers. If he didn't do something, he would definitely be coveted by them.
"Well, I'll use the extra gold Galleons to rename the new joke shop. If it's not called Weasley's Joke Shop, it'll be called Fangs Joke Shop."
"Fuck... no, no, no, just call it Weasley's Joke Shop. You can just keep the money and spend it."
"George is right, is it enough? If it's not enough, we'll give you the rest after we finish shopping."
In fact, there are not many things that need to be purchased this year.
Apart from the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor who changes every year, only the Care of Magical Creatures professor has changed.
The original Professor Kettleburn retired, and the person who took over this class was Hagrid, who was cleared of suspicion of murdering Myrtle in front of the Aurors last school year.
As an elective course, the little wizard can only choose it in the third grade.
George Fred did not take this course as an elective. They chose ancient magic texts that are closely related to alchemy. This course was of great help to them in developing new joke products.
Therefore, only Percy, Raven, and Ron need to buy additional books this year.
When the family arrived at the entrance of Flourishes and Blotts Bookstore, they could feel that the entire bookstore was in a mess before they even entered.
There is a little wizard holding a big book with short gray and black fur on the outside. The pages of the book open and close like fangs, and there are several pairs of eyes on the cover of the book.
The books struggled in the little wizard's arms, tightening the packing rope of the bookstore.
Ron had a phobia of arachnophobia after watching this.
"Damn it! Which professor changed this year's Care of Magical Creatures course! I already regret taking this course."
Hagrid did not tell anyone about his appointment as the new professor.
The reason why Ron chose this course was partly because of Raven's influence, and partly because of Professor Kettleburn's crazy behavior last year.
During class, some small and harmless magical animals would be used to fill the exam. In Raven's opinion, it was an insult to this subject.
Fortunately, it was replaced by Hagrid this year.
When a few people entered, the most eye-catching thing was a large iron cage. There were more than a hundred such books in the cage. In fact, not many young wizards took the Care of Magical Creatures course.
The reason why we have more than a hundred books in stock is simply because these books are so good at fighting, as can be seen from the torn pages on the ground.
So the clerk doesn't know how many books there are, and they are fighting every moment.
"There was a goblin who came to withdraw money just now. When he saw these books, he was so scared that he ran out."
The store manager complained,
emm...Maybe the goblin was so scared that he ran away, maybe because like Ron, he saw the shadow of the things he was extremely afraid of in these books.
"Hey! Ron! Raven! And Percy, you are here too. Have you all taken this year's Care of Magical Creatures course? Great, let's cheer for Hagrid together then!"
Harry's voice came, and he saw the busiest area of the entire bookstore at a glance.
"Wait!? Harry, you said... Hagrid? Could it be that Hagrid has become the professor of this course? Is it too late for me to learn ancient runes from George and the others?"
Ron couldn't help but put his head in his hands,
Don’t blame Ron for his reaction. What is known is that Hagrid was a ruthless man who dared to keep an Acromantula when he was a student, and also kept a three-headed dog and a Norwegian Ridgeback in the Forbidden Forest.
Ron felt that just raising and breeding these 4X-5X level magical animals could no longer meet Hagrid’s needs.
Now that he has become a professor, I am afraid there will be great horrors ahead.
Percy also swallowed,
"So these "The Monster Book of Monsters" were requested by Hagrid...the professor? How did you know, Harry?"
As expected of the President of the Boy's Student Council, his awareness is high. Even if Hagrid is not here, the honorific title has been arranged.
Harry nodded,
"Hagrid sent me this book as a birthday gift some time ago. I only guessed it when I opened this year's admission list."
Then Harry seemed to think of something,
"By the way, Hagrid also said that as long as you run your hand over the spine of the book, it will quiet down, just like this."
