Chapter 142: Gifts from Teachers
"No, you're wrong to think so, in fact, Mr. Arthur is still very relevant, and you will understand when you grow up, and Ron, I saw it last time, your duel against wizard chess is really exciting, all you lack is self-confidence!" Mo Shen said.
"I.... I know that sometimes I have low self-esteem. Ron said lonely.
"No, Ron, I know you are actually brave, otherwise you wouldn't have chosen to face death alone for the safety of Harry and Hermione, I know you think your family is poor, but Ron, let me ask you, is the Malfoy family rich?" Mo Shen asked.
"Of course, just look at Draco. Ron said.
"But, did Draco beat me?" Mo Shen asked with a smile.
"Naturally, you can't beat it, let alone Draco, even some of our senior Gryffindors say that your magic is already terrifying, and they are no match for you!" Ron said.
"That's right, what I want to tell you is that you may be able to buy a glamorous appearance this year, but it won't bring you strength! Ron, think about it, if you have enough strength, will you still worry about running out of money?
Whether it's the Malfoy family, or other pure-blood families, the reason why they are rich is because their parents are strong enough, so they have accumulated this family business, if you can be strong enough, why can't you lead the Weasley family to rise?" Mo Shen asked.
Ron was awakened by Mo Shen's words, yes! Why should he be jealous, what about those classmates with good family conditions? If his strength is strong enough, will it be difficult to earn gold gallons in the future? The answer is of course not difficult, he has this time to compete, it is better to improve his strength.
Ron, who figured it out, said gratefully: "Thank you, Mo Shen, I understand, but I don't think my talent is very bad? ”
"It's not your fault, Ron, I heard Harry say that the wand you are using now is not your own, but your brother Charlie's, you should know that it is not your own wand, not only will it not be able to exert its full strength, but it will also cause you to hinder, you should buy a wand of your own. Mo Shen said.
"This ...... I know, but ..... Hey!" Ron didn't continue, Ron was actually really dissatisfied that he couldn't buy a spell of his own, why did the other brothers in the family have their own wands, even his little sister Ginny, could buy his own wand, but he couldn't.
"Ron, I think you misunderstood Mr. Arthur, you don't think your family is real, you can't even afford to buy a wand, right? If I'm not mistaken, Mr. Arthur has high hopes for you, if you can use other people's wands now, and can still cast spells normally, when you have your own wand, your strength will be greatly improved. Mo Shen said.
Mo Shen's words made Ron's eyes light up again.
"Really? You didn't lie to me, did you?" asked Ron. He has always suspected that he was actually picked up, otherwise why would his family be so unfair to him, but if he did what Mo Shen told just now, then his parents probably really wanted to train him to do so.
"Of course it's true, do you have to lie to you?" Mo Shen asked.
"Nope. Ron replied.
"That's right, and you know what??The unicorn feather is very effective as a wand for the heart, so don't worry Ron, sooner or later you'll have your own wand, okay, don't make your parents wait, let's go back!" Mo Shen stood up after speaking.
"Thank you Mo Shen, it's good to be friends with you. Ron said sincerely.
The two returned to the bookstore, and at this time Ginny had finished buying the textbooks she needed, and the family walked out of the bookstore.
After a polite exchange with the Weasleys, Mo Shen noticed a dilapidated diary in Ginny's arms, and thought to himself: "This should be Voldemort's diary, I'm really looking forward to it." ”
"Then I won't bother you, it's not too early, I'm going back to school first, the professors are still waiting for me. Mo Shen said with a smile.
"Well, see you next time, you can come to our house to play when you have time. Mrs. Weasley said politely.
"Okay, goodbye then!" Mo Shen turned around and left.
Mo Shen returned to Ruth's potion shop and used Floo powder to return to Hogwarts.
At this time, the Weasleys, who had already returned home, Arthur returned to the couple's house and said with a smile: "Molly, our youngest son's luck is really good. ”
Molly Weasley laughed and said, "Yes, I pity Charlie, otherwise he should be in the England team." ”
"Molly, this is something that cannot be helped, as the eldest son sometimes needs to be sacrificed, but I think Ron will become the pride of our family in the future!" Arthur said with a smile.
At this time, Ron happened to walk outside his parents' door, and also heard the conversation just now, and he really completely believed what Mo Shen had told him before.
"Dad, is it true that Mo Shen said that you asked me to use my old wand to hone my spell-casting skills?"
"Oh, Mo Shen, that kid is amazing, he's right, Ron, I know you've always felt that your mother and I don't care about you at all, but now that you already know, I'll tell you,
We hope that you can surpass us and surpass all your brothers, so we have honed you since childhood, since you already know, then you must practice magic well in the future, and usually study more with Mo Shen, which is not harmful to you. Arthur said with a smile.
"I know my father, I'll do my best! I won't let you down!" Ron said happily.
At this time, Mo Shen, who returned to the school, was eating at the table with the professors, but the headmaster Dumbledore didn't say any more, and Mo Shen didn't feel strange, Dumbledore must have a lot of things to deal with, how could he have so much effort at school.
"Mo Shen, thirty light wheels 2000 have been delivered this morning, you are not here, I will receive it for you. Professor Flitwick said with a smile, but he didn't say he had received ten firebolts.........
"Thank you, professor, I went to Diagon Alley in the morning to buy some books and prepare for the new semester. Mo Shen said.
Professor McGonagall said with satisfaction: "Well, very good, I love to study so much, not bad, if you can't perform as well as last semester in the new semester, don't blame me for deducting your points!"
"Hehe, professor, don't worry, now everyone outside says that I am a scoring machine, in the new semester, I will definitely let them see what it means to score and strive to set another record!" Mo Shen said jokingly.
"Hmph, don't you think!" Professor Snape said with a cold snort.
"That..... Professor Snape, I have some questions about potions, can I ask them after dinner?" Mo Shen said with a smile.
Looking at Mo Shen's smile, Snape unconsciously felt a coldness......
"Ahem, I've been busy with work lately, wait until I have time, what's that, work hard next semester!" Snape finished speaking, bowing his head and eating his own food without speaking.
Professor Flitwick and the others smiled slightly.
Towards the end of dinner, Professor McGonagall said, "Mo Shen, you have been in the school almost all this semester, and the principal told me a few days ago that I hope that next semester, you can go out and walk more and see more, which will help you in your life experience." ”
"Thank you, professor, I will, I'll go out and see more next semester!" Mo Shen said sincerely.
Mo Shen could feel that these professors cared about him, which was from the heart, not superficial.
"Dean Sprint, when I went to Diagon Alley today, I found these seeds of gill sac grass in Ruth, and I remember you saying the other day that the academy is running out of reserves now, so I just bought them all and gave them to you. Mo Shen said.
"Oh, thank you, I do need these gill sac grass seeds, this plant is getting harder and harder to buy lately, thank you, I like it very much!" Dean Sprout said happily.
"Hey, you see, I'm the dean, and my own students don't say anything about giving me gifts. Professor Flitwick feigned sadness.
Mo Shen smiled and said, "Professor McGonagall, last week I remember that you said that the school needs to get some boggart, as teaching materials, I happened to buy some too, and put them in the storage room on the third floor of the school, remember to collect them if you have time." ”
"Haha, okay, I'll go after dinner in a while. Professor McGonagall said with a smile.
At this time, Professor Snape glanced at Mo Shen, intentionally or unintentionally.
Mo Shen smiled slightly: "Professor Snape, thank you for using your personal time to tutor me during the holidays, I heard Ruth say that you are looking for the heart of the fire dragon, it just so happens that he has it, I will buy it, can you see if you can use it?" After speaking, he took out a heart of the fire dragon.
Professor Snape quickly took the dragon's heart, which was exactly what he needed, and it was the centerpiece of the potion he was making.
"Very well, little one!" said Snape with a slight smile on his lips.
Professor Flitwick snapped his fork on the table and grunted.
Mo Shen smiled and didn't speak, but groped his way through his dragon skin pocket.
Soon Mo Shen took out a cloak.
"Professor, I know it's your birthday, and you like to wear cloaks, you know, I have some connections with some potions dealers, and this is an invisibility cloak that I received from Egypt at a high price, and I usually use it as a cloak. Mo Shen said with a smile.
At this time, Professor Flitwick didn't know whether to accept it or not, because the professors present in the invisibility cloak knew its value, and it would cost 10,000 gold galleons to buy this thing, and it wasn't something you wanted to buy..........
Seeing Professor Flitwick's appearance, Mo Shen smiled and said, "Professor, you just accept it, money is such a thing, if you don't have it, you can make it again, why bother!"
Professor Flitwick happily put it on the spot.
The other professors sent their congratulations with envy....... They know the value of this cloak of invisibility.......... At the same time, I really envy Professor Flitwick.
