Chapter 380 Scamander's Family Origins
library,
Sitting at a table in the corner, Shirley was describing to Hermione what had happened in Defense Against the Dark Arts.
After Hermione listened, she raised her eyebrows and repeated with a half-smile:
"Brave, smart, and kind?!"
Professor Black so Quarrov?
Leaving aside bravery and cleverness, he often deliberately bullies himself by means of betting... Where does Rove have anything to do with kindness? !
He is obviously a bad guy who does all kinds of evil!
As the saying goes, embarrassing black is equal to washing, embarrassing blowing is equal to black.
Therefore, although those words of Sirius were all good words, they were too loud, which made Rove feel a little bit overwhelmed.
However, he still had a cheeky smile and said:
"What, Hermione, do you have a different opinion? Everyone thinks so, the minority obeys the majority, and your personal opinion is invalid."
"Everyone thinks so?" Hermione raised her voice and snorted, "Aside from Sirius, who else thinks so?"
Rove glanced at the girl with ponytails. She didn't speak, but smiled softly and nodded slightly.
"Shirley, you can't tell lies just because Rove is your boss." Hermione put her arms around the ponytailed girl's shoulders and said with a smile:
"We're on the same side!"
Shirley smiled, and said seriously, "I really think so."
Hermione sighed.
Rove smiled without saying a word.
The three of them quarreled for a while. The librarian, Mrs. Pince, came twice with a feather duster, and finally left with a strange expression on her face.
Rove cast a silence spell around him, and his voice could not be heard at all, nor would he disturb other people.
Mrs. Pince could only see the three people in that mouth, as if they were performing pantomime, but could not hear their voices.
On the table, there was also a piece of parchment, which was a map with long and thin lines drawn in ink.
Those lines meet and cross each other, extending to every corner of the parchment.
With the help of Sirius, Rolf, Shirley and Hermione are currently working on a new Marauder's map.
This new map includes Hogwarts Castle, various secret passages, and the Quidditch field. In addition, there are Room of Requirement and Chamber of Secrets that were not in the original map.
Rove's original plan wanted to include Black Lake, the Forbidden Forest, and Hogsmeade, but the amount of work was too large, and it was simply not something that three people could complete in a short time.
"It's about to start."
Rove raised his wand, and Shirley and Hermione also raised their wands at the same time. The tips of the three wands met together, and they said at the same time:
"Human traces appear!"
The three magic wands attracted each other, splashing a string of dazzling sparks, and then spewing out a large cloud of water smoke, which diffused towards the surroundings.
Soon, the entire library was shrouded in smoke, and many students raised their heads, looking strangely at the sudden thick fog.
Not long after, the dense smoke gradually dissipated, and ink dots began to appear on the parchment map that had only lines, and each ink dot marked a name with tiny letters.
"Success." Shirley said happily.
What the three of them released was the Human Tracking Charm. This remote magic is also the core of making the Marauder's Map. It can display the names of everyone within the area covered by the smoke on the map.
Hermione looked at the map in amazement, and saw that in the library, there were many small black dots moving on the map.
A black dot in the upper left corner shows Mrs. Pince, who is walking around in a hurry, as if looking for who just cast the spell.
A group of Ravenclaw students, gathered at a distant table, are studying.
Of course, these names only show this area of the library, and there are still no names in other places.
There is no way, the area covered by the human trace spell is very small.
To show the entire castle on the map, the three of them have to move a little bit, which is also a huge workload.
But in any case, the library area has been reproduced on the map, which is a good start.
The three of them continued to discuss the issue of the human presence spell, when they suddenly heard the sound of tapping footsteps from a distance.
Rove looked up and saw Hagrid striding over in a moleskin coat.
Hagrid rarely came to the library, apparently looking for them.
Rove waved his wand to cancel the Silencing Curse, and asked in a low voice, "Is something wrong, Hagrid?"
Hagrid handed over a letter, and said nervously, "Rove, the Hippogriff has been dealt with... I think you might need to take a look."
Rove took the letter and unfolded the paper. Shirley and Hermione also came over and looked at the letter together.
Dear Mr. Hagrid:
We have received a report from Hogwarts about a hippogriff attacking a student.
On April 20th we will hold a hearing in our London office to discuss what has happened to you and the hippogriff.
You and your hippogriff are present that day. Hippogriffs should be tethered and isolated during this period.
Ministry of Magic Education Authority,
Supervisor: Greselda Marchban.
"Good news." Rove smiled and said, "The Education Bureau has taken over this matter, and the Hippogriff will not fall into the hands of the Dangerous Creatures Disposal Committee."
"But I don't know what to do." Hagrid scratched his hair and said, "Do I have to prepare anything?"
"You need to collect students' evaluations of your teaching." Rove confessed, "Prove that you are a good teacher and qualified for this position."
This is not a problem, Hagrid has been strictly controlling his teaching content recently, and only teaches beautiful and interesting magical creatures such as unicorns in class.
Under Rove's reminder, he will also take the tail feathers of animals as rewards in every class... There is absolutely no problem with student evaluation.
"You still have to prepare your defense, Hagrid." Rove said with ease, "Write down the whole incident to prove that Buckbeak has nothing to do with it, and it won't hurt anyone again."
"We can be witnesses." Shirley said softly.
"That's right, I must have read about a Hippogriff wounding case." Hermione thought for a while and said:
"In that case, the Hippogriff was released. We'll look for it for you later, Hagrid, and if we do find it, we'll look into it."
"Thank you three." Hagrid was so moved that he almost shed tears, and he hurried back to collect comments.
After Hagrid left, Hermione stretched her waist and said, "Let's go, let's find those cases and prepare a defense for Buckbeak."
"You don't need to look for it." Rove shook his head and said with a smile, "I have nearly two thousand years of detailed records of magical creatures wounding people here."
"..."
Shirley took out the black box, and after Rove opened it, he took out a half-person tall parchment.
Hermione froze for a moment, and flipped through it in disbelief.
"In 1766...a sphinx bit a wizard...it was sentenced to death by the Ministry of Magic...Carl Scamander pleaded not guilty? Carl Scamander? !"
"My grandpa's uncle...that is, my second great-grandfather." Luo Fu explained.
"June 5th, 1872 . . . a hippogriff was convicted of - well, Joestar Scamander defended . . . "
"My great-grandfather."
"..."
Hermione flipped through it and frowned, "Why are most of them Scamander?"
"I have a family background." Rove shrugged and said, "I'm actually not a magizoologist, nor a veterinarian... but a professional defender."
"..."
