Chapter 305: Rest Time (Ask for Subscriptions, Ask for Collections, Ask for Tickets)
"Orim told me that her students might want to sit in on Hogwarts' Magical Creatures Protection class. I don't think the French appreciate animals that are too strong, so I prepared some pretty little ones for them. Since there was no class in the future, Ryan and Hermione stayed in Hagrid's hut for tea at Hagrid's invitation. Of course, Ryan carefully checked the surroundings with his magic to make sure that the pesky beetle wouldn't come to eavesdrop.
"Thank you for your warning, I've heard from many people that Olim has been under a lot of pressure over the years. Some things are indeed right not to be said. Hagrid poured the black tea from the teapot into the cup in front of Ryan.
"Orim, have you and Madame Maxim started calling each other by their names, it seems that your relationship is going fast. Ryan said after taking a sip of tea.
"I think I need to change my lesson plan, Madame Maxime thinks my lessons are at least not very popular with girls, Hermione, what do you think?" Hagrid embarrassedly diverted the subject from Ryan's joke, if he hadn't had a full beard, his whole face would have been flushed by now.
"yes, I think you could add some animals that most people like in the middle of that, um, you're more popular, and it would be better to teach them. Hermione pondered her opinion, and the days of seeing fried snails in every class were terrible for most people.
"Well, I think, I think you're probably right. Hagrid was not as stubborn as he used to be, and in the following time he even discussed with Ryan which animals would be more suitable for the second half of the semester.
"I really hope Hagrid can keep this up. Hermione said on the way back to the castle.
"Then it depends on how long he can talk about this relationship?" Ryan also silently prayed that Hagrid's love path would go well. He is also not interested in the fried snails that look like molted lobsters but can't be wrapped in oil and fried until they are golden and crying, and the neighbors' children.
Classes continued as usual until Hogsmeade Day arrived in mid-January.
"I think it's time for you to take a break. Hermione watched Ryan wave the wand in his right hand in the Room of Requirement, knocking over the two wooden figures in front of him with an electric shock technique, and then turned around with a sword in his left hand, and the last wooden man who suddenly appeared from behind finished the practice and said. "Keeping your head down and practicing doesn't necessarily improve quickly. ”
"You're right. Ryan put away his sword and put it in the space bag. "Wait until I'm cleaned up and go to Hogsmeade. ”
Ten minutes later, Ryan and Hermione were on their way to Hogsmeade.
"What's that potion you've been brewing lately?" Ryan had been making some kind of potion in the toilet of the crying Myrtle, but even Hermione couldn't tell what it was even after reading so many books. Even she could only see that the potion was a silver-blue liquid, so she simply asked the question in her heart this time.
"It's a potion for centaurs, and the blood of a unicorn can be used as a quick life-saving potion. A while ago, Aunt Betty delivered a female unicorn with a difficult birth, and then she was lucky enough to get some of the unicorn's blood without a curse. She gave it to me in half, and I used it to experiment with the prescription I had just gotten from Lannie Witch Doctor. Because there were some other people on the way, Ryan leaned closer to Hermione and whispered in her ear.
"When will this medicine be ready, and how will it work?" asked Hermione with concern.
"It can definitely be done before the second game. Ryan counted the days and said, "This is actually a product that is very easy to absorb by the body, containing a lot of light and life force, and it has a miraculous effect on the power of expelling darkness in the body. Percy didn't tell us at the ball about the Triwizard Tournament that the law was being discussed in several countries, and I was worried that Durmstrand's players might use some dark magic. ”
"Aren't you going to know that kind of magic, and it stands to reason that you should have mastered enough anti-spells. Hermione asked, the magic that could manipulate the mummy was definitely not a light force, and she was convinced that Ryan also had the power of equals.
"Yes, the potion is just a backhand. Flasks are much faster in battle than when using counterspells. This will buy you a little more time, which may make or break the outcome of the battle. Ryan said with a shrug. "Of course, I'm just guessing what the next game will be based on the historical game records, and it's a question of whether this potion can be brought on the field or not. But it's always good to be prepared beforehand. ”
As he wandered the streets of Hogsmeade, Ryan kept observing everyone around him. Because Harry's participation and the Goblet of Fire were all directed at Voldemort's men infiltrating Hogwarts, and after making sure that Moody had not been transferred, Ryan had been observing everyone in the school, trying to find the spy who had infiltrated the school.
But it was still a fruitless day, and after walking the whole street, Hermione began to rub her hands from the cold. Ryan immediately suggested going to the Three Broomsticks Tavern for something to warm up.
The British are very fond of socializing in taverns, and wizards in England are no exception. The tavern was so crowded that it took Ryan a bit of effort to squeeze into the bar and ask for two heated butterbeers with ginger powder and maple syrup.
Through the mirror behind the bar, Ryan saw Ludo reflected in the mirror?? The figure of Bagman, who sits in a dimly lit corner with a gang of goblins. Bagman lowered his voice and said something to the elves quickly, who all crossed their arms in a menacing look. It seems that Ludo owed a lot of gambling debts at the last Quidditch World Cup.
After discovering Ryan, Bagman quickly left with the elves. However, when he was leaving, he happened to meet Harry, who was shopping with Ginny, and soon Harry was pulled aside to say something, and Ginny was the only one standing across the road looking a little angry. To make matters worse, Ryan saw Rita Skeeter go over there with her photographer—
"What are you looking at?" Hermione asked after taking a sip of Butterbeer?
"Nothing. After saying that, Ryan also took a sip of butterbeer, which feels good in winter.
The Three Broomsticks Bar is not only a great place to drink, but also a hub for gossip and rumours in the British wizarding world. For example, Ryan heard someone say that someone from the Ministry of Magic had circled the Black Lake several times in the past two days, and there were many parents here. For example, Ms. Rosmerta recruited a very capable young man, who I heard was a distant relative of hers. The lady said she would pass the tavern to him later. For example, Jokowi's magic joke shop has not had a good income in recent years, and he is also old and lacks energy, so he is ready to transfer, so many outsiders have come to the village to look at the store recently. Another example is a male witch in the village who is locked out of the door by his jealous wife because he occasionally comes home late from drinking with colleagues of the opposite sex.
The most popular news lately is related to the Triwizard Tournament, and the surrounding drinkers have been impressed with Fleur and Krum. Fortunately, as a small town at the foot of Hogwarts Castle, they still support mainly local students. For example, Ms. Rosmerta gave Ryan a plate of french fries with a thick cheese sauce for free.
On the way back to the castle from his Hogsmeade tour, Ryan felt his body and mind relaxed. It seems like it's nice to take a break and relax once in a while.
