Chapter 134: For the World's Most Handsome Thunderbird!
There were almost half as many new students coming to Hogwarts this year as there were Harry's years, but it's normal to think about it, when Voldemort was raging, people certainly didn't think much about making babies, and when the darkest days passed, people couldn't help but do something they liked.
There will definitely be more new students next year, but there is a high probability that it will not exceed two hundred, and the students of Hogwarts are not only from one country, but also cover many places in the surrounding vicinity, otherwise England, which has a resident population of only more than 3,000, will not be able to gather at least a hundred fewer freshmen every year.
Luna, who had been chatting happily with Harry on the train, went to Ravenclaw, Ginny went to Gryffindor as usual, and the somewhat lengthy sorting ceremony lasted nearly an hour and a half, and when Professor McGonagall put away her sorting hat and returned to the teacher's seat, Dumbledore, who had returned to Hogwarts as the host, had no extra nonsense, and after he smiled and said a strange riddle that no one understood, the sound of knives and forks colliding against plates rang out in the lively hall of the Great Hall.
Although the staple food has not changed much, the elves have launched a number of new products for dessert, including an unnamed custard tartlet with a very unique taste, which is a great companion to vodka, and Harry is already planning to visit the kitchen after the banquet to ask the elves for the recipe.
During the happy meal, Harry glanced at the Slytherin table, after all, the words 'big bully' kept flashing back and forth in his head, although bizarre things happen every year, but when they happen around him, people can't help but think about them a few times.
Kassandra, who doesn't have a B number in her heart, jumped directly from last year's mediocre A to the C position that has begun to take shape, and after thinking about it, she can only use a miracle to describe this unreasonable phenomenon, of course, this must first rule out the possibility of a big bully.
Could it be that Dobby was cursed because he accidentally broke the scene where Kassandra used Draco as a toolman? β
Harry's brain-filled brain made up some strange things, "Hiss~ It's worthy of being a veteran pureblood, and it's really fun to play."
The word nobility is often accompanied by absurdity, especially in Europe, and pure-blood deepens the absurdity, such as the critic of the close relative Balabala, I don't know how many pure-blood wizarding families have completely disappeared because of this thing, but they still enjoy it today.
"Hey, Harry! A holiday is gone, how can you change so much? Could it be that you drank some strange potion? β
Someone patted Harry's thick arm and asked curiously, and as he turned his head, Rove was looking at him in amazement.
"I almost didn't dare to recognize you just now, Neville and I pondered for a long time before we confirmed that you should be good."
"I worked out too hard during the holidays." Harry smiled helplessly at Rove, "It's puffy now, and I don't like this stupid state, in two months, I'll settle down and polish it, and you can come back with all your roommates at Hogwarts." β
"That's not good news." Rove rolled his eyes, "The girls are all looking at you, what are we going to do then." β
"Don't worry, rest assured, I'll only hook up with my senior sister, I only know Lori when I'm young, I don't understand that my sister is a treasure, I always like seventeen-year-olds, you think"
Even though the little wizards in Hogwarts are generally precocious, how can a twelve-year-old boy be Harry's opponent in the car, Rove, who was flushed with words, waved his hand again and again, and after glancing at the senior sister with some weakness, he quickly changed the topic while sitting upright.
"By the way, Harry, do you still like that birthday present I gave you?"
"Thunderbird's quill? Of course, it's awesome, you can write without ink, and it comes with lightning effects, which is handsome. β
Although Harry's birthday was on the island, the owl, the birthday present of his best friend, was delivered on time, the most special of which was Rove's gift, a quill made of Thunderbird feathers, a faint lightning bolt that could leave a black slightly carbonized handwriting directly on the parchment paper as he wrote, which was a little numb, but indeed cool.
"So you've already used it?" There was a slight hint of excitement on Rove's face, "The lightning on there didn't bother you, did it?" β
"Uh-huh, the massage effect is pretty good, why did you ask about this?"
"Great! I mean, can you teach me? Rove stood up slightly, and then whispered in Harry's ear, "The lightning in the house hatched four eggs, and I begged Grandpa to give me one, but this little guy has electricity on his body, and I have to wear gloves to touch it." β
"The juvenile period of the Thunderbird is five years, if I want to ride it in the future, I must cultivate a tacit understanding in these five years, my grandfather's rank is too high, I can't accept an adult Thunderbird, but now I can't touch it. I'll just have to give this little guy back. β
"You're very good at exercising, aren't you, can I learn?"
Rove looked at Harry expectantly, "The danger of mana enhancement is too high, I can get the magic potion, but I can't find anyone to teach me, the right person to teach me." β
"Are you sure?"
Harry's face showed a hint of amusement, he was not surprised that Rove knew that he was refining his magical power, even if he didn't say it in his dorm, but this method is not a secret in the wizarding world, but because the cost is extremely high, plus the process is extremely painful, few people will do it, in peacetime, people's pursuit of power is much, much lower than in wartime.
"I know it's hard, I've looked up a lot of information, but there are so few people who can do it now, and I can't find a second person in England besides you."
After a slight hesitation, Rove whispered into Harry's ear, "I know of the news that the wizarding world has secretly formed an army of empty knight wizards, although I don't know what they are up to, but it must be interesting, and I plan to join them after graduation." β
"You mean the Dragon Knight?"
"You know that, too?"
There was a look of astonishment on Rove's face, but it didn't last long before it turned into an excited look.
"Yes, it's the Dragon Knight! My grandfather also participated in the directional cultivation of their fire dragons, but to be exact, the dragon knight's mount is not a purebred fire dragon, but a subspecies of dragons, four-legged subdragons, fully adult, only less than fifteen meters long, can only be regarded as a small and medium-sized dragon species, but it is better than relatively tame, and more intelligent, the fire dragon has a stupid person who is brainless, and the existence of the lowest IQ in magical creatures. β
"The Thunderbird is the real overlord of the sky, I dream of riding my own Thunderbird to fly in the sky, although the lightning allows me to ride him, but after all, he is my grandfather's partner, if I am not protected by him, I can't bear the terrible speed, and if I am protected by him, I have to be electrocuted to the point of delirium"
A touch of helplessness appeared on Rove's face, he really liked Thunderbird, but he couldn't control this sky overlord.
"I'm serious! I can do it myself, if you need materials, I can also provide it, although Grandpa is a magical creature conservationist, but he is also involved in the research of magical creature domestication, England has almost no action in this regard, but as far as I know, in other places, large-scale domestication and cultivation have been very effective, and even meat dragons have been domesticated, and the world's largest dragon training farm has raised 300,000 purebred fire dragons. β
"Although the quality of the fire dragon used for meat is a little worse, but it is better than the quantity, I asked my father to help me get some materials back, a hundred kilograms of dragon heart tendon cords, although it is not good to use it to make a magic wand, but if you boil potions, it is suitable!"
Hearing this, Harry's eyes lit up, the core of the fire dragon's magic power is the heart, and the most abundant magic is a small tendinal cord located inside the heart, this thing has never been calculated in kilograms, even if a hundred kilograms is a non-processed dry product, then at least one or two hundred fire dragons must be slaughtered to produce it.
"Sure enough, the guys who deal with potions and medicinal herbs are never poor."
Harry was stained twice in his heart, whether it was Hagrid, or Professor Sprout, or Father Snape, one of them was an invisible rich, and transfiguration and magic spells couldn't make money, but they either could collect (cut) money, or they could grow money, or they could manually add zeros to the number, Rove's Scamander family really couldn't be underestimated.
"It's not too much more than you, as long as you can stand it, then you're welcome."
Although Harry is not short of money, he will not refuse a financier who brings money into the group, it is unrealistic to rely on blood transfusion in the Forbidden Forest all the time, if he has Rove's resources to help, even if he pays for it, it will be very profitable.
βYesοΌβ
Rove, who clenched his fists and cheered, smiled brightly, but Harry didn't forget to give him a vaccination.
"If you're sure to come in, don't even think about running, even if you cry badly, you'll have to grit your teeth and hold on."
The smile made Rove's scalp tingle, but in the end, he gritted his teeth and nodded, he knew how torturous it was, and he wouldn't mention it if he hadn't made up his mind in advance.
The noisy Great Hall fell silent, the plates on the table disappeared in an instant, and after eating and drinking, Dumbledore stood up, he needed to tell the students about the slight changes in Hogwarts this year.
