Chapter 20: The Bloated Nix
The next day, in the bathroom, the Weasley brothers endured the stench in search of the Golden Galleons.
Filch on one side stared at the two with a wand in his hand.
The wand was purchased in the morning at the Ollivanders Wand Shop. Ollivander was surprised that the Squib from many years ago could actually cast spells.
In fact, Filch doesn't know any spells, not fluorescent flickers, he just holds a wand to show that he can cast spells.
George looked at Filch and whispered to Fred, "Try him tonight and see if he can actually cast spells." ”
Fred: "Then we're going to Hogsmeade once, and we're running out of ammo. ”
George: "With these gold gallons?" ”
Fred: "Tell the Knicks, these aren't ours yet. ”
George: "A third of that. ”
……
The two cleaned up the Golden Gallon and left. Filch searched around the bathroom again, and the Weasley brothers cleaned it up, leaving only the foul-smelling bag, not a single gold Galleon.
He cursed the Weasley brothers and went to Professor Flitwick to learn spells.
At lunchtime, George and Fred found Knicks.
George: "Knicks, does Filch really use spells?" ”
Fred: "Do you know which ones he will have?" ”
Nicks swallowed the beef and said, "I don't know what kind of spell he can do, but he can at least make himself lighter, have a deft step, and be good at dodging, and it will be difficult to hit him as before." ”
Just as he was about to continue eating, he saw George put a gold galleon in the soup bowl.
Nicks yelled, "George, what are you doing?" ”
As he turned his head to look at George, Fred placed a foul-smelling gold galleon on top of the beef.
This smell not only smoked Nix, but also smoked people nearby, especially Neville, who was sitting opposite, and directly covered his nose and ran.
The Nix, who wanted to get up, was held down by the twins.
George: "It's punishment for you. ”
Fred: "You actually made us look for Jin Galleon in the stench. ”
The Knicks were so moved to tears that he changed the subject: "You guys are going to deal with Pelch? ”
George Fred: "Shhh ”
The Knicks broke away from the two and said, "I'll observe if I can." Oh yes, and your pay, paid with prank props, taken from Filch's collection. ”
George: "I'd rather be Galleon. ”
Fred: "We can buy hoax props at Hogsmeade. ”
Knicks: "Given what you've just done, I'm not going to pay you Galleons." "I thought to myself, don't let me get a chance, or I'll empty all your gold gallons.
Seeing that the twins were about to take out the golden gallons, Nix hurriedly said: "You don't need to give it to me, it's all in your place, and you can give me the medicinal materials later." ”
Ditching lunch, the Knicks and the twins head back to the Gryffindor common room to get what they had scavenged from Filch.
The time has come to divide the spoils.
The total value of all items is about 1000 gold Galleons, and the gold coins and prank items are small heads, and brooms and other magic items are the big heads.
The two of them weren't interested in a broom inlaid with gems, which was an antique model, but it was full of gems so it was valuable.
The Nicks don't recognize magic items, and the twins are identified one by one.
They took a few of them, the most precious of which was a magic book, which contained not only normal spells, but also evil spells and black magic.
If you have a problem, you can write it on it, and you can get the answer as long as you don't ask some questions of "who am I, where am I, what am I going to do".
The Knicks suspected that it had something to do with Voldemort's Horcruxes.
In the evening, the Knicks and the trio arrive at Professor McGonagall's office, where he is a regular visitor.
Before I came, I went to the kitchen to find Professor McGonagall's favorite black tea, and the four of them had to do different things. Hermione was sent to prepare the items for the class, Ron and Nicks were constantly practicing Transfiguration, Harry was given preferential treatment, and Professor McGonagall was personally instructed.
Nix asked, "Professor McGonagall, if I come to confinement every day, when will I be able to learn Animagus?" ”
Hermione looked back at the Knicks in shock, would she be so confident that she would be locked up forever?
Professor McGonagall: "That's dangerous, I don't recommend you study, and besides, at your level, it's hard at Hogwarts. ”
Nix:...... Despised "Is there any way to speed it up?"
Professor McGonagall arranged for Harry and said to Nix solemnly, "Don't experiment randomly!! ”
Knicks: "I know, it's dangerous. ”
Ron interrupted, "You actually want to be an animal? ”
The Knicks glanced at Ron and didn't explain.
He didn't want to tell Ron that Animagus could do a lot of things, such as not getting caught in Filch for his pranks, whether he could avoid Snape and Professor McGonagall to see his luck, and as for Old Deng, don't overestimate yourself, no one can escape him at Hogwarts.
Nicks believed that Old Deng knew everything about Hogwarts, and that Moon Face, Wormtail, Big Foot, and Pointed Fork could complete the Living Point Map at school, and that Old Deng was so powerful that he couldn't just make an enhanced version.
Moreover, Peter Pettigrew was able to learn Animagus, which means that although this magic is dangerous, it is not difficult.
After thinking about it, Nick turned to Professor McGonagall and asked, "Professor, what if I want to learn this magic?" Do you pay for tuition? ”
Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Learning Animagus depends on talent. ”
Just as Nix was about to say something, Professor McGonagall interrupted, "I'll give you a list of books, you can read it first, and then we'll talk about it when you understand." ”
Nicks nodded, he had a backup plan, if Professor McGonagall refused, he would pry Hermione, and with her ingenuity, he would soon learn Animagus. If not, give Hermione a generalist potion, and as long as she can, Nyx can follow along.
Leave Professor McGonagall's office.
George and Fred stopped them around the corner and asked, "Knicks, did you follow us when we started?" ”
Knicks: "When it's time to do it, if it's not curfew time, I want to follow Filch and watch carefully." ”
Harry: "What are you going to do?" ”
Nix: "Go back obediently, kids, don't get involved in the adults' business." ”
Hermione: "I'd advise you not to do anything bad you're going to do, I don't want to stay in lockdown for longer." ”
Ron turned to George and Fred and asked, "Can I follow you?" ”
"No, you're so stupid." The brothers ruthlessly refused. Turning to the Knicks, he said, "Wait for the curfew time." ”
Nix thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll follow you, otherwise I will be found out, and I will have to extend the confinement time." ”
