Chapter 207: Happy New Year
Ron and Hermione froze.
On Friday night, the Knicks saw Hermione doing her homework, and the books in her hand were almost burying her.
"Can I sit down?" Nicks asked.
"Sit down." Hermione placed the books in her chair on the table.
Nicks looked at Hermione's just-finished book "Why Muggles Need Electricity".
"Actually, you can give up some subjects."
"I can't."
"I don't understand the difference between arithmetic divination and divination? Why do you want to study separately? β
"They are completely different, arithmetic divination is wonderful......"
Nicks didn't listen to what Hermione was saying, and he saw that there were a lot of files on the table, all of which were famous cases of Hippogriffs.
He interrupted Hermione. "You're still helping Hagrid with the lawsuit?"
"Yes, I've studied a lot of cases that might have helped Hagrid."
Harry had just finished Quidditch training and was covered in mud and sat across from the two of them and complained, "It's just that Ron mobilized everyone to look for Spotted in order to prove that it was Crookshan, and he pulled me to find it before I could take off my clothes." β
"Does all your have mean him and you?" Nicks asked.
"Not only that, but he also asked Seamus and Neville to help, but they don't know when they ran away."
Hermione didn't look up and said, "He had no evidence that Crookshank had eaten the spots, and those few cat hairs were there before Christmas." Ever since he smashed his head in the Crook Hill at the Fantastic Beasts Store, he has been prejudiced against Crook Hill. β
Nix changed the subject: "Harry, how's the firebolt?" β
Harry didn't understand what the Knicks meant. "No problem, the fire bolt is very useful."
"I mean, the one you received at Christmas."
"The professor is still testing, I don't know. Even if the professor pays me back, I don't plan to use it. β
Hermione buried herself in her homework and continued to do her homework. "If you want to talk, go somewhere else, don't disturb me."
Nick got up and left, and since Hermione didn't need to accompany him, he went to see how his experiments went.
Harry followed the Knicks to the Room of Requirement, not to see the Knicks' experiments, but to avoid Ron.
There were more rats in the house, and in the process of catching them one by one, Harry was tricked by one of them, who escaped Harry's capture several times and provoked Harry.
"Nix, this mouse is so smart, I think it's smarter than the one you used to experiment."
Nicks turned his head to look at the mouse that was playing Harry, observed for a while, and was pleasantly surprised in his heart, this mouse has extraordinary attributes, it should have given birth.
Harry was panting tiredly, and finally caught the mouse.
Nicks observed the whole process, the rat was playing Harry and provoking Harry, it should be the Red Sacrifice Sequence, Sequence 8 Provocateur, it instinctively used the ability to anger Harry, and finally overturned.
Harry handed the mouse to Nyx and said, "It always feels like it's provoking me." β
Nicks didn't hesitate to kill the rat and put away the wreckage.
"That's how you killed it." Harry was surprised.
"Questions?"
"Nope." Harry sat down to rest. "Knicks, I think it's Crookshank."
"There is no conclusive evidence." Nicks added water and food and planned to leave.
"You see, cats eat mice naturally will not have corpses, you and Tifa's cat is too small to eat spots, even if you eat them, they will leave remains, only Crookshan eats them, and they will not leave traces." Harry speculated.
"You can think so, but don't talk to Hermione."
Back in the common room, Harry went to find Neville, who had recently planted a special kind of tree with a drink in the fruit, and he had to water whatever he wanted, each with a different fruit. They had just recently doused the book with honey water.
Tifa finds Nicks with her Potions assignment. "Brother, how do you do this?"
"I'll see, this potion is supposed to do that......" Nicks patiently taught Tifa how to make potions.
"Brother, did you say that it was really Crook Hill that ate the spots?" Tifa asked.
"I don't know, why do you ask this?" Nicks asked rhetorically.
Tifa was silent for a while, looked left and right, leaned into Nicks' ear and whispered, "I also think that Crookshank Mountain ate Spotted, it always circles Spotted, you see our cat doesn't look for Spotted." β
Nicks was suppressed by her sister, and although she had been helping Hermione, she actually agreed with Ron in her heart.
"Hermione helped you so much, you don't believe her?"
"Believe, but everything in front of her is not good for her." Tifa looked up: "So, brother, can you admit that Spotted was you who took it for experiments, not Sister Hermione's cat." β
Nicks looked at his sister speechlessly, waiting for him here.
What's the point? Is it okay to reconcile Hermione and Ron? β
Tifa pondered, and finally replied, "No, it doesn't matter how Ron is, I don't pity that mouse, I just don't want to see Sister Hermione crush herself because of this, you see she buries herself in a book every day now, which makes people worry." β
"Then you're not worried that I'll become like her?" Nicks asked.
"Don't make a fuss, I experienced the isolation treatment of Lestrange as a freak when I entered school, brother, you are still rumored to be the Dark Lord, isn't it normal for the Dark Lord to kill his roommate's pet when he was in school?"
"No, I'm going to tell you, why do they say I'm the Dark Lord, I'm going to be the Dark Lord!" Nix was serious: "It's our business what we want to be, not what they say we are, we are who we are." β
Tifa looked down, not knowing what he was thinking. "Then brother, please admit it for me, is it okay?"
Nix froze, looked at Tifa for a long time, and sighed: "Okay, since it's my sister's request." β
He got up and walked over to Ron's side. Harry and Ron were sipping a drink, both from Neville, and Harry had some to make Ron happy.
"Your spotted is missing, not eaten, I don't know where he went." Nix said bluntly.
Ron looked at the Knicks in bewilderment, and the break room fell silent.
Nicks continued: "I have a potion that allows people to control animals, like this. β
After saying that, he controlled Luo Xiaocheng to climb up to his body quickly, and pounced on Ron, facing Ron's face with a claw.
Ron dodged in time and didn't get scratched. He yelled, "What do you do? β
Nicks didn't answer, took control of Luo Xiaotang, dodged a few times, and pounced on Ron again, but this time he was caught by Harry in mid-air.
He took advantage of Harry's lack of grip and took a bite on his hand. Harry let go of his hand in pain, and Luo Xiaotang grabbed Harry's clothes, moved quickly, and pounced on Ron again.
At this time, Ron was stupid, looking at Luo Xiaocheng who rushed over and was at a loss.
Fortunately, Ginny was by his side and pulled him, and Luo Xiaotang's claws did not fall on Ron's face, but only cut his shoulder.
"What if you could control the animals?" Ron shouted.
The Knicks stopped controlling Luo Xiaotang. "I can control trained animals, and Crook Hill is among them."
Harry thought of something. "You meanβ"
"Why are you doing this?" Ron also understood that the Knicks meant that he controlled Crook Hill and ate Spotted.
The Knicks grimaced.
"You can speak ill of me everywhere, why can't I?"
"I-" Ron was speechless.
The Knicks turned and went upstairs, and the people in the break room were talking.
