060. Salamanders, the "savior" who stands in the way

The topic of this conservation magical beast class is salamanders.

On the teaching grounds next to the Forbidden Forest, bonfires made of piles of firewood and leaves are burning, and small bright red lizards are crawling around in the fire.

Professor Kettleburn had each group gather around a campfire and gave them a few small glass bottles.

"The salamander is a small lizard that lives in flames, and they usually feed on flames. As long as the flame is not extinguished, it will continue to live. ”

Professor Kettleburn introduces you to the amazing animal salamander.

"However, if you feed peppers to salamanders that leave the flames regularly, they can live up to six hours."

Scott: They crouched by the fire.

"Is it sick?" Fred held a wooden stick and gently poked a salamander lying motionless in the fire.

At this time, Professor Kettleburn clapped his hands to attract everyone's attention.

"Salamander blood has a strong healing and healing properties, and can also be used to craft a variety of potions, the most famous of which is the Enhancer." He said loudly.

He picked up a glass bottle, "Today's lesson, we're going to learn how to take blood from the bodies of these little guys. This will be the material you're going to use in your Potions class! ”

"Why do we have to do things for old bats in the Magical Beasts Conservation class!" George complained to Scott very unhappily.

"Everybody's here." Professor Kettleburn crouched next to a bonfire, "Look closely at my demonstrations!" I have to guarantee that I won't cause serious harm to it. ”

Although Professor Kettleburn only had one arm left, it didn't seem to affect his movements. He was clearly skilled in taking blood.

After watching the professor's demonstration, Scott and the others also took action, following his movements to extract the blood from the salamander's body and put it in a glass bottle.

Scott noticed that George and Fred exchanged a few glances, and then pretended to sigh.

"Oh, these little ones are so pathetic."

"We have to save them."

At the end of class, they secretly hid a salamander in their pockets while Professor Kettleburn wasn't looking.

On the way back to the castle, Scott asked the twins, "Where are you two going to keep this poor salamander?" It can only live for a maximum of six hours after leaving the fire. ”

Fred patted his pocket lightly and said proudly, "Of course we will take good care of this little one!" ”

George went on to say, "We'll keep it in the fireplace in the common room and feed it with good hard-pulled fireworks!" ”

"Fireworks?" Roger laughed and said, "I hope you don't burn down the Gryffindor common room." ”

"Of course! We're experienced tricksters! Fred held his head proudly.

George also raised his head at the same time, "We will not stop making mistakes, but we will never make big mistakes!" ”

After lunch, Scott went to the empty classroom on the third floor alone.

He sat at his old desk in front of the window, his head propped up in his hands and looked out the window.

It wasn't long before the sound of wings flapping sounded, and a darkened raven flew in through the window.

It flew to the old desk and dropped the film it was clutching in its paws.

As the morning passed, there were plenty of negatives for him to review.

Scott checked the film and pulled out a few new rolls for Raven to send over.

Then he closed the curtains, picked up the film and walked to the side, and began to develop the film with the tools he had prepared.

In order to make it easier for him to do it himself, he prepared the most convenient black and white film.

Soaking in the developer, Scott began to make out the image as it slowly emerged.

An hour later, he walked out of the empty classroom.

The film taken in the morning didn't have the image he wanted, but he was unexpectedly able to shoot an interesting image.

Dumbledore paused briefly in that hallway.

Only one film accurately captured him standing in the hallway looking at the back of the "shocked body".

There is only one.

When Scott saw the film, it suddenly occurred to him that the three-minute interval seemed a little too long.

If Ginny, manipulated by Tom Riddle, could quickly destroy the message, the camera would most likely miss it.

Thinking of this, he came to the corridor again.

He had just seen from the footage on the film, Filch had been sitting in a chair almost all morning, staring suspiciously at the passing students.

He doesn't seem to have given up on finding the killer on his own.

Scott walked past him with a steady footstep, making sure that the message was in good shape, ignoring Filch's staring gaze.

He didn't stop at this place, but climbed straight up the stairs to the fourth floor.

He quickly came to the window in the same position on the fourth floor, quickly reached out of the window with his wand in his hand, and changed the command of the two puppets in the air, changing the frequency of the shutter to once a minute.

Although the consumption of film in this way is a bit large, but fortunately, he has prepared enough for the release of the film.

He felt that he could estimate the time and let the ravens replenish on time.

On the way back to Ravenclawta, Scott was stopped by a "savior" who had come up to him as he passed through the central courtyard.

"Hello, Trollope."

This "boy who never dies" still has the shyness of facing strangers in front of Scott.

"Can I talk to you?" He pleaded.

"Yes, Potter."

Scott nodded.

"This way."

The boy led Scott to the flower bed in the corner of the courtyard, where his two little friends were waiting.

Scott took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, Weasley, Granger." ”

"Hello, Trollope."

Granger didn't wait for Weasley to speak, he couldn't wait to start talking.

"Do you remember last time? You say that the voice Harry hears is an eight-eyed spider, but according to the book Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, the eight-eyed spider does not petrify Filch's cat. ”

Scott was about to speak, but the girl continued to speak very quickly.

"Did you see it last night, the cat looked like it was dead. Dumbledore examined the cat, saying that it was the result of a profound form of dark magic. ”

Scott confirmed that the girl had finished before answering slowly, "I'm sorry, the eight-eyed spider was just my guess, Miss Granger. Because there aren't many fantastic beasts that can speak English. Now it seems, did I guess wrong? ”

He turned to look at Potter.

"Potter, so the reason you got there first yesterday was because you heard that strange sound again?"

"Yes." Potter's expression was very helpless, "I came out of the basement where Nick was holding a dinner party and ran to the third floor after that voice. ”

"But Hermione and I didn't hear anything!" Weasley said with an exaggerated expression.

Scott nodded, and then asked, "So have you dealt with Dumbledore about this?" ”

Potter shook his head, a little embarrassed, and said, "I didn't tell him." ”

He glanced at Weasley again and explained, "Ron told me that it's often not a good thing to hear voices in the wizarding world that others can't. ”

Scott smiled, he didn't expect the three little wizards to come to him.

Was it because he had seen Potter hear strange noises, so it didn't matter?
