#20 - New game from BengBeng

While Moon and Hermione were still discussing the feasibility of planting wand-plants, a different scene of jubilation was unfolding in the Gryffindor common room.

The Weasley twins were shouting something, with Harry and Ron joining in the yelling, and almost everyone was happy about something.

Moon was stunned by this scene as soon as he walked in. Although he already knew that Gryffindor was the most cheerful house, it was rare to see so many people cheering in the common room.

"Moon's back!"

Seeing Moon come in through the doorway, Harry quickly walked up to him.

"Look, the owner of the five-time champion is back."

"That's right, and it's about to win its sixth!"

Moon had no idea what the Weasley twins were talking about, and Hermione next to him was also curious about this scene.

"Come on! Bouncy has already won five matches and earned five silver Sickles," Harry said, pulling Moon into the crowd.

In the center of the crowd was a small table, and Bouncy was happily jumping up and down on the table, holding the silver Sickles.

Seeing Moon's figure, Bouncy quickly stuffed the silver Sickles into its small pocket and jumped into Moon's arms.

"It's too amazing. It helped me find Trevor again, and then George saw it, so we had this competition."

From Neville's explanation, Moon finally understood what was going on.

It turned out that Bouncy had once again helped find Trevor, and then George and Fred took the opportunity to organize a pet hide-and-seek competition.

And Bouncy lived up to expectations by winning five games and earning the five silver Sickles collected by everyone.

"Moon, let it try again. There's one last silver Sickle, and a six-time champion might be born tonight."

Fred walked over, put his arm around Moon's shoulder, and smiled happily.

Moon looked at Bouncy and found it eager to try, so he put it back on the small table.

Participating in the competition were not only Bouncy but also Ron's Scabbers and pets of many older students.

And the target they had to find was Trevor in Neville's hand.

The game began with a circle of people surrounding the small table in the center, with all the participating pets placed on it.

Rat, cat, toad, Pygmy Puff... and Bouncy in the very center.

Seeing the crowd completely block the table, Fred and George accompanied Neville to hide Trevor.

"Toot toot ~"

A few minutes later, Fred, having hidden Trevor and returned, blew the whistle, and all the pets jumped off the small table one after another.

Each student was chasing after their own pet, cheering them on, but Moon remained standing next to the small table.

"Aren't you going to watch Bouncy?" Hermione asked, looking at Moon, who was standing still.

"No need, that's a being destined to become a six-time champion."

Moon had great confidence in Bouncy's ability to find things, but Hermione followed curiously, wanting to know why this pet was so magical.

However, her tracking was not successful, because many people, after discovering that their pets could not find Trevor, began to urge their pets to follow Bouncy as well.

Now a crowded long line had formed behind Bouncy.

But there were exceptions, such as Ron's rat, which actually fell asleep on the way to find Trevor.

Bouncy was not in a hurry to find Trevor. It first came to the fireplace and climbed into the fireplace duct that had not yet been lit.

The toad and cat following it were all left behind.

After it came out from the other end of the duct, it came to the entrance of the boys' dormitory. It had already smelled Trevor's scent.

Finally, Bouncy found Trevor in the pocket of an older student's robe, and successfully obtained the last silver Sickle.

"George, why did you put the toad in my pocket?"

Seeing the robe, Percy immediately stood up from his chair and looked at George and Fred angrily.

Hearing that the Weasley brothers were about to argue again, Moon quickly hugged Bouncy back to his side.

The victorious Bouncy did not put the money into its pocket. It jumped onto the table in front of Moon and handed over the last silver Sickle it had won.

"Chirp!"

"For me?"

Moon looked at Bouncy in surprise.

[Give the money to others]

In Moon's opinion, this should not have happened to Bouncy.

"Chirp chirp!" (Of course, you are the six-time champion's friend!)

......

Friday, the last day of classes for the first years this week.

Today's classes were relatively easy. After finishing the two consecutive potions classes, the afternoon would be a real rest.

The classes were held in the castle dungeon, which was so cold that it was almost the same as the bridge hole where Moon lived.

The classroom was filled with glass jars of various sizes, filled with various animal specimens, which quieted down the little wizards who were originally excited and looking forward to the weekend.

Moon noticed that Neville, who was walking next to him, froze for a moment because he saw a glass jar containing a toad.

Professor Snape, who came to teach the class, was the fastest-moving wizard Moon had ever seen.

Especially his walking speed was very fast, and the cloak behind him could flutter along with it.

Moon thought that Snape's lecturing speed would also be very fast, but that was not the case.

After class, Snape first took out the roll book and called out the names on it one by one, but when he read Harry's name, he stopped and said a few more words.

Harry and Ron were sitting behind Moon, and he could feel that this gentle boy was now very embarrassed.

Snape's opening remarks were also very intense. He was also the only professor who called the little wizards fools and idiots.

"Potter!"

After the opening remarks, Professor Snape suddenly focused his gaze on Harry.

"What would I get if I added powdered root of asphodel to an infusion of wormwood?"

Moon noticed Harry's panic. Last night, everyone was participating in Bouncy's six-time champion competition, and Harry definitely hadn't previewed 《One Thousand Magical Herbs and Fungi》.

And Hermione, at the table in front, had already raised her hand high, but Professor Snape had already skipped her and walked back.

After Harry replied that he didn't know, Snape asked two more questions in succession, about bezoars and monkshood.

Harry was eventually deducted one point for suggesting that Snape should ask Hermione.

The reason was for talking back to the teacher.

But just when everyone thought that Professor Snape's questioning session was over, he suddenly came to Moon.

"Mr. Scarlett, I heard that you have been allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest to find magical plants, then please tell me what herbs are needed to repair plant damage!"

Snape's question completely exceeded the textbook content, and even Hermione, who was sitting in front, put down her hand.

Malfoy in the distance also showed a smug smile.

"If it's a small epidermal injury, aloe vera and dandelion juice are needed. If there is a branch fracture, elderberry leaves and bark need to be crushed, applied to the fracture, and then fixed with a bandage."

This was content from 《Wand Making and Maintenance》, which Moon had just read yesterday.

Hearing Moon's answer, Snape's eyes locked on him, his cold eyes as if he could see through Moon.

"Not bad, it seems that I can't refuse Sprout's request."

Snape said something that only Moon could hear and turned to walk to the podium.

Hermione turned her head and glanced at Moon. Although she already knew that Moon had a good memory, being able to answer this question still made her feel a little frustrated.

And Malfoy in the distance also showed a disappointed expression at this time. The scene of Moon being deducted points that he had expected did not happen.

"Alright, next, in groups of two, take out your cauldrons..."
