Harry Potter and the Master of Magic Chapter 23: The Phoenix News

　　"A good wizard can know what to learn in five years in advance, and some fools don't even know what they are about to learn. I think this is the difference between a genius and a fool."

　　 Snape paced back and forth in the aisle. He paused as he passed Harry, then gritted his teeth and said, "Since you're an idiot, why don't you remember what you should remember?"

　　 There was a rustle of writing in the classroom.

　　 "Aha!" Snape felt like he had just remembered something, and said, touching his chin, "Gryffindor deducted five points for Potter's poor performance and Miss Granger's impoliteness. With that. On the contrary, Zhang Hao’s excellent performance earned Slytherin three points."

　　 Although Slytherin got extra points this time, no one cheered because they were working hard to copy notes.

　　 Although there were some innocuous accidents, Snape's retaliation was considered satisfactory, and his mood seemed to be much better because of this.

　　 At least there was a slight smile on that poker face, which made it less difficult to get close to.

　　 However, this situation did not last long.

　　 While practicing medicine in groups, Gryffindor’s Neville made a mistake and burned Seamus’s crucible into a crooked object.

　　 The potion in the cauldron was spilled on the slate floor, burning holes in the shoes of the students.

　　 Within a few seconds, all the students stood on the stools.

　　 And Neville, the initiator, was even more uncomfortable. He was splashed with potion when the cauldron was overturned. At this time, there were red and swollen boils all over his arms and legs, and the pain made him scream.

　　 Zhang Hao felt pain when looking at it, while Snape roared: "Idiot! I think you probably put the porcupine thorn in without removing the cauldron from the fire, did you?"

　　Navi cried even more sadly, and even many boils appeared on his nose.

　　 "Send him to the hospital above!" Snape snapped to Seamus.

　　 He probably felt that Neville was pitiful, so he gave up teaching this poor child.

　　 Then he turned around Harry and Ron, who happened to be operating next to Neville.

　　 Zhang Hao thought, they might be implicated by Neville.

　　 As expected, I listened to Snape in the next second: "Potter, why didn't you tell him not to add a porcupine thorn? Do you think he made a mistake and show yours? Gryffindor again Because you lost a point."

　　 Harry was about to plead, Ron kicked him behind the cauldron to stop him.

　　 An hour later, the potions class finally ended.

　　A group of freshmen can finally breathe relaxedly, but only a few of them are still unhappy.

　　……

　　 Around three in the afternoon, Zhang Hao met with the trio in the restaurant.

　　 Today is the day to meet Hagrid. According to Harry, Hagrid seems to have found a clue about the Lordless Phoenix.

　　 "Hi! Good afternoon!" Harry seemed to have walked out of the shadow of the morning, and he greeted Zhang Hao happily.

　　"Good afternoon! Three!" Zhang Hao also said hello politely.

　　 Ron seemed to have a bad feeling for Zhang Hao, the Slytherin, so he answered dryly and stopped speaking.

　　 Instead, Hermione and Zhang Hao get along very well. She asked suspiciously: "Hao! Which book did you read about the smell of thyme? Why don't I have any impression of it?"

　　 Zhang Hao smiled and said: "I forgot the title of the book. Maybe I can find it for you another day."

　　 "Really?" Hermione said happily, "Thank you so much!"

　　While chatting, several people left the castle and walked towards Hagrid's residence.

　　 Hagrid lives in a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest. There is a crossbow and a pair of rubber gloves in front of the gate.

　　 Hari first came forward and knocked on the door, and then they heard nervous struggles and a few low dog barks coming from the room.

　　 Then, I heard Hagrid say: "Go back, Fang, back."

　　 Hagrid opened the door a crack, revealing his big beard face.

　　 While calming the big dog called Yaya, he let Zhang Hao and others into the house.

　　 There is only one room in the cabin. Ham and pheasant are hung on the ceiling. The brazier is boiled with water in a copper pot. There is a large bed in the corner. The bed is made of rags.

　　 Zhang Hao shook his head secretly, this kind of living environment is too crude.

　　 Hagrid is the most loyal buddy to Dumbledore, but Dumbledore is like forgetting Hagrid, never wanting to make him live a better life.

　　 "Oh! Hao, I know you are very picky in life, don't dislike it since you are here," Hagrid said apologetically.

　　 "Nothing like that, Hagrid." Zhang Hao shook his head, and said with a sorrowful expression: "I have experienced a hard life, you are pretty good here."

　　 Hagrid smiled and said, "You can get used to it!"

　　After he finished speaking, he looked at Ron and Hermione, and asked with a smile, "Who are you again? Harry's friend?"

　　 Harry said quickly: "This is Ron, this is Hermione, they are all my good friends."

　　 Hagrid welcomed him, and then asked Harry about his life this week.

　　 Harry gnawed rock-crust pancakes with difficulty, while telling the scene of class these past few days.

　　 The trajectory of history has not changed the slightest. He and Ron still got on the bar with Filch~IndoMTL.com~ The two people talked about each other, and their dissatisfaction with Filch was almost exhausted.

　　 This resonated with Hagrid. He said unhappily: "Every time I enter the castle, I am stared at by the old trash like a thief. This feeling is terrible!"

　　 He also said that he would introduce Filch’s Mrs. Loris to Yaya, and it looked like he was going to let Yaya clean up Mrs. Loris.

　　 But Zhang Hao remembered that Yaya was a coward at all, and it was a question of whether it could beat Mrs. Loris.

　　 Then, the topic came to Snape again.

　　 Harry said distressedly: "Oh! Hagrid, you don’t know how much Snape hates me! I feel that if given the opportunity, he will kill me."

　　 "Nonsense!" Hagrid shook his head and said, "This is impossible! Why does he hate you?"

　　 He seems to have deliberately changed the subject, turning his head and saying to Zhang Hao: "I heard a message in Knockdown Alley. It is said that a wizard found a phoenix about to nirvana in the Lomiti Mountains in Italy."

　　As soon as he said this, everyone's attention was attracted.

　　 Zhang Hao frowned and asked, "I’m about to Nirvana?"

　　 "Yes!" Hagrid's face was a bit ugly, but he nodded and said: "This may be an opportunity, but it is very difficult to grasp."

　　 "What do you mean?" Harry asked strangely: "Since it is an opportunity, I should seize it. I think it will be difficult to find the next Ownerless Phoenix if I miss it."

　　 "Phoenix? Are you going to catch a phoenix and raise it?" Hermione still didn't know Zhang Hao's plan, but at the moment she inferred the matter with just a few words.

　　 Harry spread his hands and said: "It's not us, it's Hao. He planned to raise a phoenix before school started, and after waiting for so long, he finally got some eyebrows."

　　 Ron said in surprise: "Phoenix? Will it be more difficult to raise than dragon?"
