Chapter 18: Times Have Changed, Your Excellency! (Thanks to the "no miserable financier" boss for his 10,000 yuan reward)

Without Peeves' hindrance, the whole team set off again, and walked extremely smoothly.

Rove, a young and handsome little badger, is like an outlier in Gryffindor's lion team, attracting countless eyes for a while, and everyone wants to have a chat with him.

"Rov, what kind of magic did you just use against Peeves?" Seamus Finigan asked hurriedly.

"I learned from them to imitate the calls of the wicked birds, but I advise you not to try it lightly." Rove's 'kind reminder':

"Its cry has magical powers, and it will lose its mind if you listen to it for a long time."

The famous eccentric Eurek, who tried to prove that the cries of the wicked birds were good for the health of wizards, listened to them for three months until he finally got so confused that he wore a dead badger as a hat on his head.

Therefore, in order to protect the wizard, the sale of the evil woman bird generally needs to be cast a silent spell.

But Rove knew that his reminder was useless, and the more he didn't allow it, the more the little lions would try the taboo.

Gryffindor students seem to be particularly rebellious when it comes to it, and if you tell them they can't go to the toilet and drink a 'hot drink', they're likely to try it, with a straw along the way.

Luckily, Rove's veterinary clinic can treat the wizard, and he is ready to greet the first patients 'with tears', and by the way, recycle a wave of evil women birds at a low price.

"It's my turn to ask!"

"No, it's my turn, you've already asked several!"

Parvati Petyer, of Indian descent, quarreled with Lavender Brown of Scotland.

The two of them are in a place that has historically had a strong obsession with independence from Britain, and they were originally very close to each other...... But because of Scamander, they are about to become enemies.

Rove is really sinful!

Hermione found herself standing next to Rove, who was about to be pushed to the edge.

The little girl stood on tiptoe and glanced at Rove, who was laughing and talking in the crowd, and she wanted to remind everyone not to be deceived by his innocent appearance...... Stay away from this scoundrel.

It's a pity that no one paid attention to her.

Of course, no one cares, whether a wizard is excellent or not is a comparison.

If it's just good-looking, at most it's a silver-like pewter head, and it's useless.

Rove is just good-looking, and he also shows great strength when dealing with Peeves.

For comparison, the Gryffindor boys tonight were too crotch-pulling, like the boy who never died, and everyone wanted to see him show his hands, but they ended up in a mess.

On the way to the eighth floor, Rove was asked countless questions, all of which he answered, smiling, and showing the good temper of Hufflepuff to the fullest.

When everyone thinks that you are a good-natured and honest person, then no one will suspect you if there is an accident at school.

Honest people are Rove's best protective color.

Once on the eighth floor, there is a fork in the road, which leads to the Gryffindor Tower on the left and ends at the entrance to the Headmaster's Office on the right.

"It's all here, let's go to the Gryffindor common room." A witch advised, "No, just sleep there at night." ”

"yes, yes, don't go back to Hufflepuff at all!"

Rove broke out in a cold sweat, if he did stay in the Gryffindor common room, he would have to be expelled from Hogwarts tomorrow.

Leprechaun, Bah...... Female donor, you are trying to harm me and destroy my Dao heart!

"Professor Dumbledore is still waiting for me." Rove firmly refused: "I'm leaving...... Hermione, goodbye! ”

He waved his hand towards the corner of the crowd, turned around and left a dashing back, Hermione was stunned, and waved her hand, and said weakly:

"Goodbye."

When she looked up again, she saw that many witches were staring at her...... This bastard deliberately tricked me again!

Hermione snorted coldly, raised her chin slightly, and proudly like a big white goose, she walked alone through the crowd towards the common room.

Rove turned a corner and stopped in front of a huge, ugly stone monster.

"Jelly slugs!" The boy spoke the password Professor McGonagall had told him.

This password may be too childish for a young wizard, but it is just right for Dumbledore.

"Jelly slugs are hard to eat, and I don't know why Dumbledore likes them." Rove muttered quietly.

"I think so too!" The dripping beak stone beast guarding the gate said in a rough voice, "The headmaster's taste is too bad. ”

After complaining, the dripping stone beast jumped to the side, and the wall behind it cracked in half.

Rove walked in slowly, took the magic staircase, and came to an oak door, and was about to push it in, but was attracted by the brass knocker in the shape of a sphin-headed beast on the door.

It looks like a knocker, but it's actually ...... It's a knocker, indeed.

It's just that this knocker is still a powerful magic item, and if a wizard tries to force a break through the wooden door of the headmaster's office, it will turn into a brass sphinx and attack.

The Griffin, a magical creature living in Greece, has the forelimbs, wings, and head of a giant eagle, and the body, hind legs, and tail of a lion.

Like the Sphinx, the Griffin is also used by wizards to guard treasures and secrets.

However, the number of phinxes was scarce and powerful, and it was impossible for everyone to get a protective treasure, so the ancient Greek wizards invented this kind of knocker.

Later, with Alexander's crusade, the magical world of the Middle East also entered the Hellenistic era, and this magical object was spread.

Why is Rove so clear?

His small black leather case also contained such a magic item, which could ward off intruders, but compared to the brass knocker in the principal's office, it was much more powerful and exquisite.

If this is a masterpiece, he is at best a defective product of modern magic!

Rove couldn't put it down, touched and touched and touched, eighteen touches, and touched himself, and he was about to find the pulp...... Alas, forget it, sooner or later go to Greece and capture a real sphinx to come home!

Rove pushed open the oak door, squinted his eyes, and looked around the office, feeling like he was a little bit of a child.

The griffin's door knocker is used to protect treasures, so the things it guards are naturally much more precious than the door knocker.

The principal's office is one such hiding place:

A spacious, beautiful circular room is greeted by a sparkling crystal and aquamarine cat's eye lit not by candles at night.

The room is as bright as day, and the key is that the light is soft, and it will not make people feel glaring and tired for a long time.

On the mahogany bookshelf that occupies one wall, there are many magic books, many of which look very old, made of parchment and papyrus.

On the windowsill, dozens of thin golden bells hang with a pleasant sound, which can be used to predict weather changes in the coming year, and are extremely precious magical objects.

In the corner, there is also a mirror-like object, which reaches up to the ceiling, but the mirror is obscured by a red curtain.

On one side of the mirror, there was a table with slender legs, on which were placed a number of strange silverware, swirling and puffing out small puffs of smoke.

Rove reached out and gently patted the smoke, which swirled around his palm, and with his shallow knowledge, he could not recognize the name or purpose of the silver instrument.

But I also know that it can't be ...... Humidifiers, right?

The walls are covered with portraits of the old headmasters, all of whom are snoring softly in their frames...... Occasionally, he half-opened his eyes and secretly looked at Rove.

There is also a huge table in the room with claw-shaped legs. On a shelf behind the desk, sat the Sorting Hat.

"Hey, meet again, Sorting Hat." Rove smiled and walked over: "Have you thought of an answer?" ”

Before the boy could get closer, the Sorting Hat grinned, "Don't come here!" ”

“……”

"Hey, boy, what did you do to do so much damage to the Sorting Hat?" An old man with a goatee and a silver and green Slytherin costume asked curiously.

Rove glanced at the nameplate under the portrait, which read:

Phineas Nigelles Black (1847-1925).

"Mr. Blackmaster, potions can be drunk but not talked, and the Sorting Hat and I are good friends, and I didn't hurt it."

"Hah! Good friend, will it be so afraid of you? Phineas scoffed, "You wouldn't have given it a big bidou when you were sorted, would you?" ”

Rove rolled his eyes.

"Hey, boy, what's your name, which house?"

"Rove Scamander, Hufflepuff, of course!" Rove said.

Several Hufflepuff-born principals opened their eyes, looked at the juniors of their own houses, and then nodded with satisfaction.

It seems that Hufflepuff's appearance level is still as good as ever.

But more of the headmasters got together and muttered, and they seemed to have heard Rove's name not so long ago.

"You're the one who was recorded in the Book of Admission, but almost went to Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry?" Phineas was surprised:

"Or did Dumbledore write to your grandfather to invite you to Hogwarts?"

"I don't understand!" A big fat wizard with a red nose waved his fist and shouted:

"Why would any student want to abandon the thousand-year-old Hogwarts and go to a backward school in the New World?"

Rove glanced at the red-nosed old headmaster and explained:

"Sir, in last year's magical education evaluation, eleven well-known schools of witchcraft and wizardry were evaluated, but Hogwarts only ranked seventh, and they are all about to count down."

Rove sighed and said, "No matter what the rankings are, Ilvermorny is firmly in the top two, and it is no longer a school of the same level. ”

"Mr. Headmaster, times have changed!"

"The Fall...... Shameful depravity......"

The red-nosed old principal didn't come up in one breath, and fainted directly.

Rove was stunned.

Merlin's beard is too direct to speak and won't be expelled, right?
