Chapter 69 Rove, why are you so proficient?
The unicorn's injury has generally stabilized, but it needs to continue to rest for a while, so Rove specially designated an area for it in the box, and other magical creatures are not allowed to disturb it.
The trouble was the female dazzler. When Rove found her, she took over the nest of a group of auroras, so that after seeing Rove, the group of auroras kept whining around him, as if they were mourning.
This is the disadvantage of a nest built too gracefully, which is easy to be spotted by other birds.
The birds like to decorate their nests when they are free. The material should be Vitex, the shape should be teardrop-shaped, there should be sweet-scented osmanthus around, and the temperature should be suitable.
Therefore, most birds prefer nests built by snatchers.
Rove worked so hard that he didn't fall asleep until midnight, and he was definitely late in the morning for History of Magic.
"Skadi, you're late, two points for Slytherin." Professor Binns said in a tone without the slightest emotion.
"Sorry, Professor Binns, I am ashamed of my lateness! As a reminder and spur, I think it is more reasonable to deduct ten points..."
Rove stood at the door and argued hard, as if I wouldn't go in without deducting ten points from me.
All the Gryffindor students in the classroom laughed. History of Magic used to be the time to supplement sleep, but now everyone is listening to the class carefully and then asking questions so that Professor Binns can deduct points for Slytherin.
From a certain point of view, Rove has done a good thing, at least it has stimulated the enthusiasm of the little wizard to learn the history of magic, although... only the world where Slytherin was injured was completed.
It's not that Snape hasn't negotiated with Professor Binns. You can mistake a student, but you can't always be a Slytherin student, right?
We can't change wool, such as... Gryffindor?
What left Snape speechless was that Professor Binns also mistook his name...the two of them are colleagues who have worked together for nearly ten years!
Snape had no choice but to report this matter to Dumbledore, after all, it was about whether Slytherin could win the Academy Cup seven consecutive times.
The principal's reply was also very simple. Professor Binns has been a model worker at Hogwarts for many years. What happened to the wrong students?
At Rove's insistence, Professor Binns backed down and deducted five points from Slytherin. Then the boy walked into the classroom and sat down next to Hermione and Neville.
Neville had already fallen asleep, and Hannah on the left was sitting beside her, holding a quill and drawing a honey badger on his face... Hey, don't say that the painter is not bad.
Rove glanced at Hermione on the right again. The girl was writing furiously. He asked, "What did Professor Binns say?"
"I've finished talking about the Trojan War." Hermione didn't stop writing, she tapped her notes with her finger, and said in a low voice, "The wizarding coalition of ancient Greece broke through Troy and ransacked the city of wizards."
Hermione moved the notebook towards Rove so that he could copy it down. On the name of the despicable Haierbo, the girl carefully drew it with a colored pen... Obviously it was the key point of the final exam.
"Laocoon, the priest of Troy, saw through the Trojan horse trick of the Greek wizard, but was killed by two giant snakes summoned by the Greek wizard Herbo. He was a Parseltongue..."
Rove took out the quill and copied it. He suddenly remembered that Haierbo was the first black wizard to breed a basilisk and the first to successfully create a Horcrux.
Rove is very interested in the cultivation of basilisks. This kind of animal that he cultivated since he was a child can easily complete 100% domestication.
"After Troy was destroyed, the brothers Romulus and Remus, the descendants of the Trojans, were raised by werewolves. They established a city after they grew up."
Professor Binns continued to read in an emotionless tone:
"Later, in order to compete for the right to name and rule the city, the elder brother Romulus killed his younger brother Remus, and the city was named after his elder brother.
That is the famous... Rome! "
The Gryffindor students raised their hands one after another, quickly annoyed Professor Binns, and deducted two more points from Slytherin.
"Why does Professor Binns hate Slytherin House so much?" Rove was very surprised, not only him, this is something that all young wizards want to know.
"I checked "Hogwarts, A School History", and Professor Binns became the teacher of the history of magic just after Hogwarts was established." Hermione guessed:
"Professor Binns should have worked with Slytherin, and may have had unpleasant experiences..."
Rove thinks it makes sense, after all, there is no gratuitous hatred, but the real reason, probably only Professor Binns knows, after all, Slytherin died a long time ago.
Rove continued to lower his head to copy notes, Hermione stared at him, and said with a faint gaze: "Is there nothing you want to tell me?"
The young man froze for a moment, then raised his head in doubt.
"You've never been late, you must have done something bad last night...don't tell me!" Hermione raised her hand to stop Rove. She stared into the boy's eyes and said mysteriously:
"Believe it or not, I can almost guess what you did last night just by observing the details of your clothes and facial expressions.
Dare you bet? ! "
"Why didn't I know there was a Miss Holmes in Hogwarts?" Rove immediately became interested, and asked with a smile, "What bet, or a Galleon?"
"Too little, bet big if you want, dare you?!" Hermione excitedly said.
Rove raised his eyebrows, he leaned back slightly, stared at the reddened girl, thought carefully, and smiled, "Forget it, I won't bet with you anymore."
"..."
"Why? Come on, come on, I'm not sure I'll win!" Hermione tugged on Rove's sleeve, with a look of "I'm easy to cheat, come and cheat me".
Rove was unmoved, he raised his head and looked out the window with a leisurely and lazy expression.
"Hermione, let me teach you to be a good boy. Next time you want to lie to someone to bet with you, don't be so eager. Be patient. If you are too anxious, any fool will know there is a problem."
"..."
Hermione glared at Rove fiercely, such a good opportunity was wasted, her eyes were full of annoyance, and seeing the boy talking about how to deceive people, the girl wrinkled her small nose and said:
"How are you so skilled?
Say, besides cheating my Galleon, how many ignorant children have you cheated? "
"Just one Gallon and you have remembered me for one semester." Rove was a little speechless.
"I will remember you forever!" Hermione said with wide eyes, "Sooner or later I will win twice, otherwise my surname would not be Granger!"
"Even if you have my surname, you can't win back... Hey, why do you hit someone? Come back? Hermione, I was wrong!"
Seeing the two fighting in class, Professor Binns was furious and deducted five points from Slytherin.
Rove sat on the stool obediently, copying his notes. He thought about it seriously and said, "I see, no wonder you are so confident that you want to bet with me. Was it you who waved by the window last night?"
Hermione looked confused.
"Stop pretending, do you want me to ride a broomstick tonight and look for that window to see if it's your bedroom?"
"Peeping in the girls' dormitory, be careful that Professor McGonagall breaks your leg!" Hermione reminded: "By the way, what were you doing in the Forbidden Forest last night?"
Rove briefly described what happened, without mentioning the identity of the black-robed wizard, only that he might be a wizard hunter.
"Is the Forbidden Forest so dangerous?" Hermione glared at Rove and said, "Then you still go?"
"How would I know, I was just going to release that giant monster." Rove shrugged.
"Where's the injured unicorn?" Hermione asked curiously.
"It's not life-threatening, but it's still being treated." Rove said, "When the unicorn recovers from its injuries, you can go and have a look."
"Great, that's a unicorn!" Hermione was a little excited, she was taking notes, she suddenly looked out of the window, and said in surprise: "It's snowing!"
Rove also turned his head to look, and there were indeed snowflakes in the foggy sky.
Hermione stretched out her hand out of the window, waiting for a snowflake to fall on her palm. She kept this posture, raised her head, and murmured happily:
"winter is here."
