Chapter 80: The Badger's Brave
The next morning, when Rove arrived at the auditorium, Prefect Cedric was handing out the school year's schedule.
There are many more elective courses on the schedule, which means that their free time will be greatly reduced this year.
Let's try it soon, everyone. 】
Of course, compared to other colleges, the badgers are very sensible and do not choose too many courses...... If you are greedy and chew more, you may be tired of yourself.
As a result, while students from other houses took all the courses they could, Hufflepuff was unusually restrained, and many students took only one elective.
The deans of other houses talk to students and generally advise them to choose fewer subjects, such as Hermione.
Only in Hufflepuff College, Professor Sprout talked to the students and persuaded them to choose more courses.
The badgers also gave it a loud and elegant name, the Hufflepuff Health Study.
If there is health learning, there is wolf learning, the most typical is Ravenclaw, and if you choose too few courses, you will be regarded as an outlier...... The entire academy is desperately involuting.
In addition, there is the Gryffindor Passionate Learning Method:
Every morning I was enthusiastic for three minutes and made a detailed study plan, but after the shivering was over, I entered the weak stage, and then I was sluggish.
When I looked at it again in the evening, I didn't have a plan, and then I regretted it and swore it one last time, but the next day it was the same.
Anyway, every day is day 0, and there is never day 1.
Slytherin, on the other hand, is a pure-blooded method of selecting lessons, and it is necessary to investigate the ancestral bloodline of the teacher first...... If you are a Muggle-born wizard, you are naturally excluded.
A course like Muggle Studies is even more forbidden.
After breakfast, Rove walked out of the auditorium and toward Hagrid's cabin.
The first lesson of the day was Conservation of Fantastic Beasts, which they took with the Ravenclaw students.
However, the Ravenclaw students had left early, and most of the badgers had not yet gotten up.
The sky was grey and cold, and the torrential rain had passed, weakening into a long, continuous light rain.
Shirley held an umbrella and stood alone in the rain waiting for someone, she was idle, so she gently held the handle of the umbrella, twisted her fingers lightly, and the umbrella surface swirled and swayed in the rain.
From afar, it looks like a painting...... Extremely beautiful.
Rove couldn't help but stop and glance at it a few more times.
Seeing the boy come out, Shirley trotted over to the boy, put away her umbrella, and wiped the rain that had just splashed on the tips of her hair.
The two walked side by side, shuttling through the rain.
The ponytail girl wiped off the rain and couldn't help but ask curiously, "What were you looking at just now?" ”
Rove thought for a moment and said, "I'm watching...... Rain scene. ”
"Rain?" Shirley tilted her head slightly, tilted her head, and looked up, as if thinking about where the annoying rain was beautiful.
Rove also looked up at the sky with her, chuckling, "Shirley, you've missed a lot of beautiful views." ”
"Really?" The ponytailed girl turned her head to look at the young man, and said with a smile in her eyes: "But I remember yesterday on the train, you said that you hated the ghost weather in Britain the most." ”
"Did I say that?" Rove stretched out his hand and rubbed his chin and said, "Could it be that you are mistaken?" ”
Shirley smiled and said, "I haven't had a bad memory enough to remember the events of a day ago. ”
"I remembered...... I seem to have said that. Rove nodded slowly, reluctantly admitted, he paused, then blinked:
"It seems that my aesthetic has improved qualitatively overnight...... Shirley, do you think I'm a talented player, should I change my career to become an aesthetic expert? ”
Shirley endured and endured, but she couldn't help laughing, she stretched out a finger and scratched her cheek:
"Can you be thicker?"
Rove looked at the girl who was bent over with a smile, he stretched out his hand, gently held her slender ponytail, squinted his eyes and smiled softly:
"If you laugh again, your salary will be deducted."
Shirley really kept her face, but those autumn eyes were still bent into a pair of crescents, and she said pitifully: "Don't buckle it." ”
The ponytail girl is like a child who has been caught by the handle, and her poor face is full of pity for the infinite value of killing.
Rove, not to mention deducting her salary, almost gave her a salary increase.
The two discussed aesthetics all the way, and soon arrived at Hagrid's cabin.
Hagrid was standing in the doorway, dressed in a moleskin coat and looking excited, surrounded by a group of Ravenclaw students.
It was a few more moments before the Hufflepuff students hurried to the cabin as they had stepped on the point of class.
Rove came early.
"Come on, hurry up, hurry up!" Hagrid exclaimed, "There's something good to treat you today!" It's time for an exciting Fantastic Beasts lesson! Has everyone arrived? Okay, follow me! ”
Led by Hagrid, they walked along the edge of the forbidden area, and five minutes later, they found themselves in a paddock.
As a well-known school of witchcraft and wizardry, Hogwarts has its own enclosure and is home to many animals.
Many of the small animals that students eat on weekdays come from here, and the milk is also self-produced and sold, pure and natural, without any additives.
The most important thing is that the milk flavor is strong, unlike some milk thin and watery, and after drinking it, you will become a splatoon, almost thinking that you are lactose intolerant.
Of course, there are also a large number of magical creatures here.
Hagrid's daily task is to beware of some thieves in addition to feeding.
For example, the magic materials were used in excess, and the school's approval was also rejected, so they secretly came to the paddock to obtain magic materials...... A professor surnamed Si who is willing to disclose his name.
"Everybody come up to this fence!" Hagrid said, "Now, the first thing you have to do is open the book......
The students took out the Monster Book of the Monsters, the most ferocious textbook ever written at Hogwarts, and most of the young wizards had tamed it before class.
Seeing that those monster books were languishing, Hagrid couldn't help but ask, "What did you do to them?" ”
"Professor Hagrid, I fed it magic glue." Justin raised his hand and said, "It can't open its mouth to bite anymore." ”
Justin looked excited, and almost wrote "praise me" and "plus points" on his face.
Not to be outdone, McMillan said: "I used a stapler to bind the mouth of this book, but I just couldn't turn the pages." ”
The other students shared their successes, such as chili water, soapy water, and even a little sky lantern...... Anyway, all the ruthless work that can be done is put on the grumpy monster book, and the one who treats them is obedient.
All kinds of "ways of taming yokai books by early humans", Hagrid was stunned when he heard it.
This is not the style he expected.
Obviously, there is a sensitive area on the back of the book, and as long as you rub it with your fingers from the bottom to the top, the book will be excited, and then it will be soft and open......
Hearing this, some of the students suddenly realized, and a small group of students looked at Hagrid...... You'd better really be talking about the way the monster book opens.
As the students rubbed together, Hagrid pulled a chain from the woods, and tied twelve beasts behind the chains:
Their body, hind legs, and tail are the same as those of horses, but their front legs, wings, and head are similar to those of eagles.
Hagrid shook the chain and brought the beasts to the students, and the young wizards all backed back in fear.
"Don't be afraid." Hagrid hurriedly said, "I'm here!" ”
But Hagrid's words were clearly not reassuring to everyone, especially the beasts' steely beaks and claws on their front legs...... It's half a foot long.
If you do it casually, it is estimated that it can poke people out of 10,000 transparent holes.
"Does anyone know what this is?" Hagrid asked.
Seeing that he was about to be cold, Rove raised his hand and replied, "Professor Hagrid, this is a Hippogriff. ”
"Good, Hufflepuff Plus Twenty...... Ahem, add fifteen points. Hagrid happily announced.
Generally, professors add two or three points, and if they have more, they will only add five points...... Hagrid came up with fifteen points, and he obviously hadn't adapted to being a professor yet, and he was extremely unscrupulous in terms of extra points.
It can't be said that it is not rigorous, at least it is very similar to Professor Snape's deductions.
The Ravenclaw students are rushing forward, and the score is today...... For the Academy Cup, charge!
Hagrid was also infected by the enthusiasm of the eaglets, and he waved his big hand, "So, who wants to get up close and personal with these cuties?" ”
“……”
Just now just identifying the species, this will have fast-forwarded to physical contact...... Is the leap so big?
The students immediately stepped back again, humbling each other.
Rove, Shirley, and Neville stood motionless in the crowd, and a large clearing soon appeared around them.
Hagrid beckoned and smiled, "Very well, Neville Longbottom, you can try." ”
All the students applauded, who said Neville was cowardly, this is simply a badger brave.
Neville: "......"
……
……
(I'm much better today, my fever has subsided, but I've been coughing, sore throat, and runny nose, I hope it's really down this time, and don't have a fever again at night.) )
