Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 551: A group of devils

"I hate rain!"

"You've said that more than once."

“Why do we have to go outdoors for a class on conservation of magical creatures when it’s raining?”

"Who knows?"

Although I often encountered a similar situation last year, Albert felt particularly irritable every time it rained. Going out to class on a rainy day was simply suffering.

The students were so miserable that they came back all covered in mud, and many would rather go to a Defense Against the Dark Arts class than go outside for a Fantastic Beasts class in this spooky weather.

Heavy rain has been falling for nearly half a month. The lake water has risen sharply. The ground outside the castle is muddy. On the way to the edge of the forbidden forest, it is easy to fall if you are not careful.

While passing by the hunting lodge, Albert sees Hagrid draining the pumpkin field in his minnow.

"These pumpkins are so big, Hagrid must have used the Expansion Charm," Fred muttered under his breath.

Ordinary pumpkins can't grow to this size at all. Hagrid's pumpkins swell up to the size of a flower shed. Can you not doubt it?

"That's what your little sister said." Hagrid put down the farm tools, glanced at the four people who were coming over, and asked, "What are you doing here now?"

"We'll be taking a class on the conservation of magical animals on the edge of the Forbidden Forest later," Albert replied.

"By the way, Professor Kettleb seems to be retiring," Hagrid said suddenly. "At the end of this year, when I passed by just now, I heard him complaining about his sore back and legs. I have suffered a lot of dark wounds, which are easy to break out on rainy days.”

"Who's taking the class?" Lee Jordan asked.

"Probably Professor Wilmina Grapland." Albert said without hesitation.

"How do you know?" The four of them turned their heads towards Albert and asked curiously.

"We met her before, remember?" Albert reminded helplessly, "in the forest cabin of Professor Kettleb."

"Will Wiomina be our new Conservation of Magical Creatures professor?" George continued.

"It's Wilmina." Albert corrected: "I don't know. However, if she doesn't have time to come to Hogwarts as a professor of protection of magical creatures, Hagrid, you can try it, maybe Deng Bridor will allow you to take the place of Professor Ketelber."

At this moment, Fred, George, and Lee Jordan all turned their heads and looked at Albert with a strange look. They always felt that Hagrid was unreliable as a professor of protection of magical creatures.

But listening to Albert say this gave them the feeling that Hagrid might very well be a professor of protection of magical creatures.

"That...I'm thinking about it," Hagrid said. "I heard that Professor Kettlebo recommended Professor Grapland to Professor Dumbledore, but Professor Grapland is still thinking about it, and she doesn't seem to be able to stay at Hogg for long. Watts holds the position of Professor of Conservation of Magical Creatures."

"If Professor Kettleb retires and Professor Grapland is unwilling to stay at Hogwarts for a long time, I will submit an application to Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid said with a smile, "You know I'm protecting the magic He's also good at biology."

"Honestly, I don't really want Hagrid to be a professor of Conservation of Magical Creatures."

After the four of them walked away, Fred whispered: "You should know what I mean, Hagrid may have some knowledge about protecting magical creatures, but he has absolutely no experience in teaching students, and Hagrid always gives me A very unreliable feeling."

"If he becomes a professor of the protection of magical creatures class, there is no doubt that trolls will appear in the class that day." George agrees with Fred.

However, Albert's remarks always gave them a bad premonition, maybe Hagrid would really become a professor of the protection of magical creatures.

"It's useless if you look at me like that, I'm just telling the truth." Albert shrugged nonchalantly, "Professor Wilmina Grapland is indeed a good fit, but if she Without an application, Hagrid would have a great chance of success."

The class location is near Professor Kettlebo's cabin. As soon as they approached, they heard Lockhart's screams. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor ran out of Professor Kettlebo's cabin, looking extremely embarrassed. .

He also stumbled on George's foot and fell heavily to the ground, getting muddy and drinking a few mouthfuls of muddy water.

"Are you okay, Professor Lockhart." Albert reached out and pulled Lockhart up from the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just came to discuss the bird snake egg yolk shampoo with Professor Kettleb, and I was attacked by the bird snake."

After speaking, Lockhart took out a handkerchief to wipe the muddy water on his face. When he was about to return to the castle, he put a clinker bottle in Albert's hand and whispered, "This is the bird-snake egg yolk I developed. Shampoo, you can take it back and try it, it works really well."

"What is this?"

Looking at the back of Lockhart's departure, George returned his gaze to the bottle given by Lockhart, picked it up and looked up and down.

"Bird and snake egg yolk shampoo, probably," Albert said casually.

"You'd better throw that thing away, it's dangerous, I've never seen someone so extravagant as to make shampoo out of a bird snake's egg, Professor Lockhart must be crazy." Kate Professor Elber came out on crutches, babbling on and off, looking displeased with Lockhart.

I can't blame him. Who made Professor Kettler treasure his nest of birds and snakes. Lockhart was going to use the eggs of the treasure to make some kind of bird-snake egg yolk shampoo, which almost drove him crazy. . In the end, they quietly released birds and snakes to drive away Lockhart, the nasty monster.

Professor Ketelber used magic to float a charcoal-burning iron barrel~IndoMTL.com~ and took Albert and his group to the woods on the side of the hut, where there were several lush evergreen trees and a large area below In dry areas, build bonfires.

A large plume of white smoke erupted after the damp campfire was lit.

"What you're going to learn this lesson is how to get blood from salamanders. I introduced you to the amazing creatures of salamanders last year. There's a flu in the school right now, and Madam Pomfrey needs to use them. Lots of salamander blood to make a pick-me-up." Kettleb poured a steel bucket of salamanders into the campfire and handed out glass test tubes to students, then showed them how to get blood from the salamanders.

"This is a good opportunity for you." Professor Ketelber said with a smile. "Whoever can get the most salamander blood before the get out of class ends will get a special reward."

"What special reward?" a student asked curiously.

"That's it."

Speaking, Professor Ketelber took out a silver statue from his pocket and said with a smile, "This is a bird snake statue I made from bird snake eggshells."

"That thing should be sterling silver." Albert discovered that Professor Kettleb really liked bird snakes.

While everyone's attention is drawn to the so-called special rewards, the Weasley twins have their sights set on the salamanders in the campfire, which they appear to be trying to "save" from their Fantastic Beasts class. .

"What do you want this thing for?" Albert asked, puzzled.

"We want to study the effects of giving fireworks to salamanders," Fred and George explained in a low voice.

"Are you the devil?" muttered Lee Jordan, who said so himself, but had a look of eagerness on his face.
