Chapter 429: Big Dog (Ask for a Monthly Pass!Ask for a Subscription!)
This afternoon's Defence Against the Dark Arts was not as easy for Elena as she imagined.
The advantage of foresight did not help her to memorize the contents of the books, and with the double attack of Hermione and Luna, Elena's plans to brush up on Professor Quirrell's class were severely hampered.
As a second-generation eye pillar who has made up his mind to be a "Mo De Feeling" tool man, Quirinas ?? Professor Quirrell fully demonstrated what it means to be an absolutely fair and fair teaching machine in class - Elena, Hermione, and Luna have not received any special care, and the roll call and extra points are all based on the order of the time of raising hands and the completeness of the answers.
Of course, Hermione, who is relatively older in such a situation?? Granger, with his advantage in arm length and the [Raise Hand Speed] bonus in his talent, finally won the day's bet by an extremely narrow lead before the end of class, successfully defeating Elena and Luna.
"Elena, you are willing to lose, you can't afford to lose this time. β
As the bell rang for the end of class, Hermione's little face flushed, and her bright brown eyes flashed with excitement.
Finally defeated Elena and Luna head-on, and by the way, she still has the right to "punish" this white-haired ball, and Luna, who relies on her instincts to "succeed" no matter what magic she learns - it will be more pleasant for Hermione to tell which one is the other.
"Okay, okay...... If it weren't for your long hands......" Elena muttered rather reluctantly.
When she starts to grow taller, she will definitely be able to hang Hermione, a little girl, and fiddle with it as much as she wants.
The first year of Hogwarts has no practical lesson in Defence Against the Dark Arts for the time being, so Hermione, as a humanoid calculator, undoubtedly has a considerable advantage in the competition of pure book content.
Elena may have an advantage in improvisation, but according to Professor Quirrell's one-glance lesson plan, there are too few opportunities for her to play.
More often than not, before Elena and Luna could hear the question clearly, a hand was raised next to them.
And a similar idea also appeared in the last place Luna?? Lovegood in his head.
After a few days of getting along with Elena and others, some of the views of Luna's little Lori, who was originally pure stream of consciousness, have also begun to change - although she has adhered to her own way in the study of charms, but in terms of the importance of the content of the book, Luna has gradually caught up with Hermione's reading intensity.
"Hmph, it's obviously because you haven't memorized some knowledge. β
Hermione glanced at a white-haired ball, which was still stiff-mouthed, snorted, and raised her chin proudly.
"Professor Quirrell mentioned several ways to identify zombies in class, which are clearly written in The Dark Forces: A Guide to Self-Defense, but even then you missed a sentence and didn't answer it in full. β
"That sentence is nothing more than a repetitive rhetorical ...... from Professor Quentin (author of the textbook)"
Elena's expression froze, and she tilted her head a little unnaturally, and weakly argued.
"What about the common regional distribution of zombies in the world? The book doesn't say that there are a large number of zombies in the East, and Professor Quirrell said that he has never heard of any zombie hierarchy. β
"That's because he's so unheard!I'm right!" Elena kicked the gravel ground beneath her feet, unconvinced.
The Defence Against the Dark Arts lesson was over, and the girls left the castle and walked through the empty woods towards Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, ready to see the cute "little one" that Elena called "little one".
It's just that some of the things that happened in the previous class still made Elena a little worried.
The exchange of magic around the world is too lagging behind, and Elena may be a little uncertain if it says anything else, but there is nothing wrong with an iconic dark creature of the East like Da Zongzi.
The most important thing is that if this question is answered correctly, she will at least have a five-to-five fight with Hermione in the final settlement, so as not to fall into the situation of being punished.
"Perhaps, but it's hard to believe that you can't even name any book you've seen it in. β
Hermione shrugged her shoulders and looked at Elena with a smirk.
"I almost thought you were a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor just now when you were arguing in classβdon't forget, Professor Quirrell is the official professor at Hogwarts, and he must be much better than us in terms of strength and knowledge. β
"Professor Quirrell, hehe......"
Elena rolled her eyes feebly.
As an unlucky professor who had flipped out on her first trip to gain experience with Defence Against the Dark Arts, she wasn't sure how much more experience Professor Quirrell had with fending off dark creatures beyond the contents of the books.
To a certain extent, Lockhart, who has been out for material dozens of times and has never missed a rollover, may be more than a grade stronger than Quirrell at this point.
You know, although in the original book Lockhart seems to be just a timid and despicable writer in the wizarding world, and most of his wonderful experiences are plagiarized from other people's deeds, many people overlook two very important things.
First of all, Lockhart is definitely a master-level old silver coin in magic against people, otherwise it would be impossible to quietly solve so many wizard adventurers who have experienced dangerous magical deeds.
On the other hand, the difficulty of a magical creature like a basilisk is a bit too extreme.
The more you know about the basilisk, the more you can understand the danger of this terrifying magical creature, and only second-year iron-headed babies like Harry and Ron dare to go directly to the basilisk desperately.
This is also the reason why the Ministry of Magic finally chose to continue the seal, rather than directly encircle the basilisk.
No one is willing to gamble their claims against this terrifying creature that sends out a range of Avada's lives all the time - there is so little information about the basilisk in the wizarding world, and no one knows the special knowledge that the basilisk's gaze is not lethal when reflexed.
"Speaking of which, maybe you can consider asking the old grandfathers to contact Mr. Lockhart to see if he is willing to sign a contract with "New Singers and Singers" and become a good magician on the surface full-time......"
Elena raised her eyebrows thoughtfully, thinking to herself.
As for secretly, one of the exclusive magical advisors affiliated with the future "Hogwarts Foundation".
Although memory magic is the kind of magic she hates the most, she has to admit that if there is such a master who is good at forgetting spells and modifying memories by her side, there will indeed be more room for error and solutions in many cases.
It's just that the use of this double-edged sword must be extremely cautious.
If she remembers correctly, in her previous life, she vaguely saw an H-HP fandom with Lockhart as the protagonist, in which Lockhart, as a master of memory, almost caused disaster to all the good-looking little witches.
(PS: The title of the book replies to "A good man has a safe life" can be seen)
Perhaps, before recruiting An, we should first send Mr. Lockhart to Bulgaria for some training and then come back?" Elena looked at the little wings around her, and such a strange thought suddenly appeared in her mind.
......
The distance from the castle to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts was not too far, and before Elena could figure out what to do with the tricky Mr. Lockhart, the girls were already at Hagrid's cabin.
Unfortunately, judging by the wooden door of the hut and the giant bow and crossbow that had been taken from the door, Hagrid must have been out patrolling the Forbidden Forest and was not staying inside the house as usual.
Not far from the cabin is the exclusive vegetable garden for the Hogwarts staff.
At this moment, a huge three-headed dog like a hill was lying quietly in the open space at the edge of the vegetable garden, except for the left head, which was looking to the left and right mentally, and the other two heads were lying on their crossed paws and sleeping soundly.
In fact, this is why the three-headed dog has long been one of the favorite choices for wizards to guard the treasure house, compared to the occasional sleeping dragon or sphinx, the three-headed dog with three heads can be rotated, and it is rare for a thief to take advantage of it.
Anyone who wants to make it through the three-headed level of Hell has no chance of trying their luck other than to go head-on - whether you're cracking it through musical tricks or magical violence.
"Uh...... Elena, you don't mean the 'little one' you mean, do you?!"
Hermione glanced at the three-headed beast in front of her, whose breath was filled with scorching sparks, swallowed lightly, turned her head to look at Elena, and subconsciously lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, for fear of accidentally attracting the attention of the monster.
Although Professor Dumbledore had previously introduced it, the three-headed dog named Lowe belonged to the Hogwarts campus guards, just like the moving armor and house-elves, all for the safety of the school.
But in any case, compared to those normally-sized stone statues and armor, the sense of oppression and danger brought by this living beast to people is not the same level no matter how you look at it - this is the most important reason why for so long, no young wizard has had the audacity to covet the faculty and staff's vegetable plots.
"Yes, it's not right. Soon after, to be exact. β
As she spoke, Elena took out the bottle of "Body Shrinking Potion (D)" from her coat pocket and shook it towards Hermione, then turned around and beckoned to the big dog, and the blue flames in her palm flashed.
"Lou Wei, come over here. β
"Wang, Wang, Wang!"
Hearing Elena's voice, the awake left head turned around first, and a cheerful look appeared in the eyes of the two big dogs, and they immediately turned their heads and barked at the other two heads who were sleeping.
"Wang~?"
"Wangβ"
The other two dogs' heads shook from side to side, and after a few low growls, they slowly opened their eyes.
Immediately after, the three-headed dog's body like a small mountain quickly stood up, and a blue flame enveloped the entire giant beast at once, turning into sideburns and floating around Lu Wei's three necks, looking particularly majestic.
"Wow, Wow, Wow!"
Finally seeing Elena appear, the three-headed Lou Wei shouted happily and ran in the direction of Elena like a joy - it was so boring to guard the vegetable garden, it could only watch the birds in the Forbidden Forest in a daze every day except sleep, and could not go anywhere.
"Huh
"Ahhhh
"Ahh
Looking at the terrifying beast that was approaching in front of him, the pupils of Hermione, Hannah, and Luna quickly dilated, and their heartbeats accelerated to the extreme in an instant, and they didn't know who started to raise their heads, and they let out bursts of piercing screams.
At the end of the day, they're just a bunch of eleven-year-olds.
The hideous-looking three-headed dog in front of him was so terrifying that everyone had forgotten what Elena and Professor Dumbledore had said before.
"Ahem, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Lu Wei is actually very obedient. β
Glancing at the frightened little wings around her, Elena, who had planned to surprise everyone, coughed a little embarrassedly, and hurriedly raised her palm towards Lu Wei, who was rushing towards her, and said softly.
"Lou Wei, sit down!"
Elena's voice was soft, almost completely muffled by the screams of Hermione and the others.
However, for the three-headed Lou Wei, this sound was completely sufficient.
In fact, thanks to the magic contract established by Grindelwald, at such a close distance, even if Elena did not speak, with the help of magic sense, Lu Wei could vaguely know what the little master's orders were.
"Wang!" X3
The next moment, the three big dogs, who were still running towards everyone, answered obediently three times, grabbed the ground with their four paws, and instantly squatted in place very well-behaved, and the thick dog tail dangled happily behind him, stirring up a large cloud of flying dust on the ground.
"Look, Lou Wei is just a little bigger, but he's actually very spiritual. β
Elena gently patted the frightened Hermione Lori next to her and gestured to Lowe.
"Luwe, raise your hand. β
"Love, get rolled. β
"Lou Wei, stick out your tongue. β
"Love, Spitfire......"
With the obedient and wonderful talent display of the three big dogs, Hermione and the others, who were startled, finally calmed down, and the eyes that looked at Lu Wei slowly changed from fear to curiosity.
After all, Professor Dumbledore had already introduced the existence of Lewe once before this, so for the girls, this three-headed big dog was not so unacceptable - after watching it for a long time, it was even a little cute.
Being big doesn't necessarily mean being fierce, as in the case of huskies and bulldogs, the latter being noticeably more fearful.
Seeing the fear on Hermione, Luna, and Hannah's faces gradually dissipate, Elena's gaze wandered between Louwe's three big heads, and her own three small wingsβwell, one head and one person, just right.
Elena thought about it, and didn't rush to use the [Body Shrinking Potion (D)], and she wasn't in a hurry for a while when it was still early.
In the eyes of Hermione and the others, I saw Elena walking to Lu Wei without hurry, patted the big dog's body gently, turned around and said with a smile.
"Or ......"
