Chapter Twenty-Five: Black Appears

"Cousin, cousin, your secret has been learned!" In the common room, Draco trotted all the way to Daphany's side, and said in a frenzy.

"Oh?" Daphany was lying on her desk writing her transfiguration homework, without her head lifted.

"Lupin, that Lupin!" Draco continued to argue, "He's taught you your tricks to the students in the sixth grade enhancement class, and I heard from the senior students in our branch. ”

"Oh, that's right, Professor Lupin and I'm talking about it." Daphany said disapprovingly. Indeed, Lupin approached her after the end of the dueling club that day, wanting to spread the know-how. Daphany has already been taught in public, and of course she will not object. So there was no particular reaction to Lupin's use in class. Or maybe I've thought about it a long time ago.

Draco was speechless for a long time. Lupin now has a good reputation in the academy. Even Draco didn't really hate the new professor. At this time, Daphany already knew about it, so he didn't want to say anything more. I had to sit down wilted.

The first month of the new semester was uneventful, and the biggest conversation among the students was that most of the students from the fourth grade onwards had learned the Patronus Charm. While the vast majority of people are only capable of emitting silver light, and it is questionable whether they can resist the Dementors or even successfully summon them in front of them, everyone still believes that this is impossible in the other schools.

Three dueling club events were held in September. For the second and third times, both Professor Lupin and Professor Flitwick went to give guidance. Professor Flitwick was a dueling champion when he was younger, while Lupin was a veteran of the night. The students benefited a lot from their guidance. However, neither Lupin nor Flitwick had the idea of being the host. In Lupin's words, Daphany is already very competent as a host. This model of student organization is fantastic!

In the middle of the month, Daphine gave Lupin two wolf elixirs and ten wolf poison potions. The Wolf Poison Flask is the latest product from the Potions Factory. Of course, the quality is not as good as Snape's own hand-blending, but it is slightly better than the ones on the market. As for the wolf elixir, Daphne can't be put into production for the time being. In fact, she couldn't dispense this high-grade potion herself. Both potions were purchased from the Hilliax family through an owl. As a partner, Daphany gets the best price.

Of the twelve potions, Daphine only took Lupin's 50 gold gallons. It can be called a jumping price. You must know that a pair of wolf poison elixirs on the market costs at least 5 gold galleons, and wolf elixirs cost 10 gold galleons, and there is no market! Daphine's price is basically equivalent to the cost of two wolf elixirs. But even so, Lupin had to be a professor at the academy to get the money. Well...... The money has not been given for the time being, because he has not yet received his first month's salary.

The salary of a Hogwarts professor is very high. The salary of an average professor is more than 30 gold galleons per week, and senior professors can reach 50 gold gallons. The four deans, with the exception of Professor McGonagall, have reached 60 gold gallons. Professor McGonagall, who is also the Associate Dean, earns a weekly salary of 80 gold Galleons. As for Dumbledore, he has no salary, he eats board dividends.

Such an income, even if placed in the Ministry of Magic, is rare. Departmental leaders, or even the salaries of ordinary Hogwarts professors. But Lupin was a little worse, his first month was on probation, and he was only half paid. However, he is very well received by the students at the moment, and it seems that there will be no problems in turning into a regular in the second month.

Lupin said that the potions were sold to some of his friends in need, but Daphany knew on her toes that one of them must have been reserved for him. Seeing that his face has obviously improved a lot this month, and he is not as tired as before, Daphany estimates that he still has a wolf elixir left.

Although the price given by Daphany is low, the potion profit itself is high. So in fact, she still has to earn, and Le's at this time makes Lupin owe herself a favor.

Quidditch training for the new school year starts early. This time, Daphany insisted on attending almost every training session, and it was at a high intensity. However, it was not her who had the highest training intensity in the team, and she couldn't even get into the top three.

Graham Monty, the team's most intense new chaser. His skills are good, but he is still far from the Slytherin chasers. Therefore, at the request of Terrance, the intensity of his training was greatly increased.

In second place is Terrance himself, and as the acting captain of Daphany in his absence, Terrance is very concerned about the results of this competition. Therefore, try to improve your own level as much as possible. However, this also makes it difficult for Dafanie and Graham, who are both Seekers, and they need to train hard to keep up with Terence's rhythm during the game.

The third most intense training was Draco. With his own firebolt, Draco's enthusiasm for training increased considerably. In his words, he was going to use the full power of the firebolt, but Daphany felt that this was unlikely, at least until the sixth year.

As the acting captain, Terrance is very important for this year's game. He joined the team the year before, just in time for Daphany to join the team, and Slytherin won the championship. Won again last year. His name has appeared twice in a row in the Quidditch House Cup. If it continues to win this year, it will be a third consecutive championship! Such an honor is rare even in Hogwarts, which has a history of thousands of years.

However, compared to Terance, Gryffindor's captain Wood has a stronger desire to win. The feeling of almost winning the championship for two years in a row made him very annoyed. But he couldn't get out of the fire, because against Slytherin, most of the time he lost was a Quaffle score. Although the chaser can't fight others, he, the goalkeeper, can't keep the goal, which has to be said to be a problem. 315 Chinese Network

Because of Daphany's presence, the Quidditch teams of the four Branches are highly competitive, but the relationship between the team members is still very good. Slytherin goalkeeper Michael Blech, for example, has been pursuing a Hufflepuff chaser named Severina. And it looks promising.

Because the relationship is quite harmonious, and the space is really limited. The teams of the various branches often train together. The madness with which Wood trains can be felt in his hunger for this year's title.

Because there are all the colleges during the training, the audience who is extremely bored to watch is naturally also from any college. As a result, Daphne could occasionally see Hermione in the arena audience.

Daphany spoke to Hermione about the time-turner very cautiously, and the little girl was stunned. In the end, although the use of it was not completely abandoned, the frequency of use was greatly reduced. At Daphne's suggestion, Hermione gave up Muggle protection, plus her own divination lesson. The time for repetition of lessons is greatly reduced. You only need to use half the number of times per week, and the time changer is no more than two hours at a time. This made her form a lot better. As a super student, she can still bear this level of pressure.

Daphany had wanted to persuade her to give up arithmetic divination as well. But Hermione thought it was funny. Now that Hermione uses a time turner, she has to use it more often to complete the extra homework she has to do. Seeing that the dissuasion was ineffective, Daphany didn't force it, saying that she might use it again in the end. If Hermione doesn't need it at all, maybe Professor McGonagall will return it back to the Ministry of Magic.

Although Dafanie feels that with her own existence, there may not be the need for the original plot to reverse three hours to save Blake and Buckbeak. In fact, there is no need to be rescued at all now, and this thing and another Hippogriff named Mbaru, who is often used as a teacher, have been corrupted by the little wizards who are constantly feeding them. There is no pride of the eagle-headed horse winged beast at all, and it is all for food to be touched, and then to be ridden......

Hermione, who had less pressure on the course, had time to watch Harry train in Quidditch. Although there are not many, they are occasionally bumped into by Daphany who trains together. Usually Hermione would bring her big cat, Krusamba, like a little leopard.

The big cat is now the boss of the college's pet circle. No way, the feline is already fierce, plus its size. Pansy's newly-bought little black dog, named Briquette, was like a rat in front of Krushanba.

Of all the student pets, or the animals left behind by the graduating students who have almost become wild, the only one who can hold Krushamba is one of Daphne's little black cats, Niko. Naturally, it's incredibly cute.

In first grade, Neeko was able to conquer Lady Loris with her cuteness, so that Filch's cat didn't care about Daphine, who often went out in the middle of the night. Now that he can conquer the monster-like Krushanba in Ron's mouth, everyone can't help but be amazed.

Except for Hermione, there was hardly anyone in the house who liked Krushamba, and if you count the animals, there would probably only be one more Nicola and Lady Loris—these three cats can play well together. Because Krushanpa's appearance is really not pleasing enough, it looks too fierce. Of all the people who hated Krushanba the most, there was no doubt Ron.

Ron's pet, Mouse Spotted, or should be called Peter Pettigrew. There are not many rat pets in the academy, at least Ron is definitely not the only one. But Krushanba never provokes other student pets such as rats or birds. Of course, the premise is that the student's pet, the wild mouse bat, has been torn up in front of many people without knowing how much. A lot of people don't like it, and it's inseparable from this.

There is a difference between a wizard's pet and an ordinary animal. They all have some magical biological ancestry or spirituality to a greater or lesser extent. They can feel this spirituality with each other, so they can live in harmony. For this reason, Krushanba never attacks rats, bats, ravens or the like that are pets of the students. Neville's toad, Lever, even slept at his feet several times, and he knew to be careful not to step on it.

But only for Banban, Krushanba has always been strongly hostile. The conflict between the pets even affected the relationship between Ron and Hermione for a while! Everyone else only said that Ron's might really be the most ordinary mouse, with no spirit and no special bloodline. So Krushanba does not consider it a companion. Only Daphany knew that Krusanba could see that something was unusual.

The raccoon bloodline seems to account for a lot. Daphne pondered. The raccoon has an uncanny ability to detect who is corrupt or suspected. If its owner gets lost, it can lead him safely back home. Krushanba clearly has some degree of ability.

The black cats of the Neeko and Daphany families actually have a certain amount of raccoon blood, but they are much thinner than those of Krushanba.

Daphany didn't care much about these things until one day. After a magical beast lesson, Daphne finds Krushamba on the edge of the hunting ground with an exceptionally large black dog. I don't know which one noticed Daphany's gaze, and the cat and dog all burrowed into the woods.

It's kind of interesting. Daphany looked over there with interest. She knew that the big black dog was Sirius Black!
