Chapter 444
(First of all, Lily will be resurrected, but not with Snape.)
Wayne was startled. He didn't expect Snape to still be thinking about the Resurrection Stone.
"You still have time now?" Wayne asked in surprise.
Snape is now a double agent. Voldemort is alive. He not only has to take on the task of passing on Dumbledore's information, but also has to pass on Voldemort's information as much as possible.
In total, he is busier than Dumbledore. Not only does he have to worry about the crap outside, but he also has to teach a group of pure students. After working for a semester, he will at least lose a few years of his life.
"Don't worry about my affairs." Snape said stiffly, put the potion on the table, and looked straight at the boy.
Wayne thought about it.
He first put away the potion, then spread his hands: "Sorry, I can't lend you the Resurrection Stone."
Snape's face changed wildly, and he lowered his voice and growled: "Lawrence, do you want to rob me?"
Finley noticed their movements and cast a curious look, then was frightened by Snape's murderous eyes, picked up the crucible and ran away.
"I am a reputable businessman."
Being suspected, Wayne was not angry, and patiently comforted him, "It's just that I still need the Resurrection Stone recently, let's talk about it when I have time."
Snape took a deep breath: "Then you return the Felixir to me first."
"Heh." Wayne glanced at him: "It went into my Lawrence's pocket, and you want to take it out again?"
"When can I use the Resurrection Stone?"
"Wait for my notice."
This is still robbing me!
Snape's cheeks twitched wildly, and he stared at Wayne for a long time before turning away.
Soon, the sound of him spraying venom rang out in the class.
"Abbott, the ground is full of potions you spread, five points deducted from Hufflepuff!"
"McMillan, can't you tell the difference between light blue and indigo? You can't put hellebore if the flame color is wrong! Five points deducted from Hufflepuff!"
"Sisbill, do you think your wand is an egg beater? I told you to stir, not to stir like a mad dog! Points deducted from Hufflepuff!"
Wayne turned a deaf ear to what was happening outside and turned a blind eye to Snape's revenge.
The Resurrection Stone cannot be borrowed. First of all, Snape's small body is not enough to absorb it. He can be sucked dry in one or two seconds.
Secondly, the price of a bottle of blessing potion is the previous price.
Now the Resurrection Stone is a genuine pseudo-artifact that can really pull souls to the world. With the chips in Snape's hand, there is nothing that can make him excited.
Providing a chance to trade is already his greatest kindness.
Wayne looked up at Snape, who had already vented his anger and was standing on the podium staring at him coldly, and smiled politely.
The first potion class at the beginning of the school year ended with Hufflepuff being deducted 50 points.
The Ravenclaw students were stunned, but the badgers didn't feel anything. They were used to it..
It is estimated that Wayne said something to offend Snape. This kind of thing happens several times every year, but it happened earlier this year.
While eating, Wayne found Cedric and asked him to find a reason to add these points back.
It is a waste not to use the power, and Cedric did not object.
It is only 50 points. It will take two weeks to make up for it without leaving any trace.
"By the way, have you heard about it?" Cedric suddenly remembered something and a smirk appeared on his face.
"Last night, the bed in the infirmary collapsed. Professor Umbridge moved out overnight and is no longer in Hogwarts."
Wayne was stunned. He really didn't know about this.
"Where did she go?"
"How would I know?" Cedric shook his head: "She probably thought Hogwarts was too unsafe, so she ran away."
Wayne: "..."
Don't mention it, he now has some doubts, whether there is really a problem with the castle.
Even if she was cursed, she wouldn't be so unlucky, right?
Of course, Umbridge didn't run away because of fear, she could still bear this little setback.
But Dumbledore's words last night and her own experience still made her feel scared, so she returned to the Ministry of Magic early in the morning to ask Fudge for help.
"What did you say, let me give you money?"
Fudge looked at Umbridge standing respectfully in front of him in disbelief, and felt that there was something wrong with his hearing.
"Minister." Umbridge smiled cautiously: "I'm not asking you to give me money, I need the Ministry of Magic to issue funds for the renovation of Hogwarts Castle and the replacement of some equipment."
Fudge: "........"
Good news, his ears are not broken.
Bad news, Umbridge really came to him to ask for money.
"Dolores, I asked you to go to Hogwarts to weaken Dumbledore's power." Fudge couldn't help it, and slapped the table: "It's only been a day, and you're already speaking for Dumbledore?"
Umbridge shuddered, and seeing Fudge's angry look, she quickly defended herself:
"Minister, I'm not helping Dumbledore, I'm helping you."
Fudge was so angry that he laughed, "You're asking me for money, or are you helping me? I really want to thank your whole family."
"Principal, the castle of Hogwarts does need repairs."
Umbridge pointed at her head aggrievedly, the disgusting velvet bow was gone, replaced by a big bag and bandages.
"I was hit by a stone in my first class yesterday, and the bed in the school infirmary collapsed last night."
"If you approve this fund, and cooperate with the newspaper and my vigorous publicity, the students will definitely be grateful to the Ministry of Magic, and my work will be better carried out."
"This will also be good for fighting Dumbledore."
After listening to this, Fudge felt his scalp itchy.
He felt that what Umbridge said made some sense, but he always felt that something was wrong.
Seeing that he was still hesitating, Umbridge thought of another perfect reason: "Minister, with this opportunity, maybe we can find evidence of Dumbledore's corruption."
"With so much money coming into the school every year, it's impossible for him not to be tempted."
"I agree."
Fudge finally gave in.
Although he felt that Dumbledore could not have embezzled that little money, he still had to check it out. Maybe there would be some surprises?
Holding the approval slip, Umbridge covered his head and happily went to Gringotts to get the money.
Hogwarts.
After a short lunch break, the fifth-year students came to the playground with excitement and anticipation. Today was their first Care of Magical Creatures class of the semester, and it was taught by the famous Newt Scamander.
Almost all the badgers in Hufflepuff signed up for this elective course, and there were also many students from other colleges.
Many of the students who did not take the elective course regretted that they would have taken it if they had known that Scamander would come.
Newt came earlier than anyone else. When Wayne brought Hermione to the meeting point, he was standing alone in the sun.
"You won't be too nervous to speak in a while, will you?" (To read the novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Seeing that Newt was a little embarrassed, Wayne deliberately teased him, hoping to help him relieve his nervousness.
Newt smiled, shook his head and whispered, "No, I have already attended two classes yesterday, and the situation is much better than I thought."
"Maybe, because they are all children, it is still easy to get along with each other."
"That's fine." Wayne nodded and conjured up a parasol. The sun was very strong today, and he was afraid that Hermione would be tanned like a black man.
Looking at the young couple, Newt couldn't help but smile.
Thinking back then, he and his sister-in-law were like this...
Fifteen minutes before class, all the students were already there.
Newt simply introduced himself. In fact, this step was a bit redundant, but everyone still cooperated and applauded.
"I have communicated with Hagrid, and he introduced your progress to me."
Getting to the point, Newt's expression became serious: "Professor Hagrid has a very high opinion of you. You have come into contact with fire crabs, vixens, fire ash snakes, and even hippogriffs."
"He did a very good job. Even I can't do better."
The little wizards didn't respond. Just listen to it. Don't take it seriously. Even Harry, who has the best relationship with Hagrid, won't believe it.
"This year is your OWL year, but the exams on Care of Magical Creatures have never been very difficult, and I don't have a step-by-step plan, so we will go straight into the Forbidden Forest today."
All the students were excited, and someone asked loudly: "Professor, is this true?"
"You are going to bringLet's go to the Forbidden Forest, or go around the edge. "[]
Newt took out his wand and whispered: "Magical animals are closely related to the environment they live in. Only understanding animals is one-sided."
"I hope to take you to a field trip to get in touch with the world of magical animals. Don't worry, I will protect your safety."
Hufflepuff's promise is reassuring, and everyone's face is not afraid at all.
Half of the people here have actually been to the Forbidden Forest secretly, but they have never followed the teacher in openly. In the past, Hagrid only took them to the edge and then brought the magical animals out of the Forbidden Forest.
Following Newt, the group went deep into the Forbidden Forest along the path.
When it comes to magical animals, Newt's social phobia has improved a lot, and he started to talk to the students.
"Although our class is about protecting magical animals, the first thing we should learn is how to protect ourselves in front of magical creatures. "
Malfoy nodded frantically, this was so true.
He often got injured in the big guy's class, and Hagrid said he was too delicate and made a fuss over a small injury.
Coming to a huge tree, Newt stopped and motioned for everyone to be quiet.
Then he stretched out his arm and placed it on the trunk.
After a while, several Bowtruckles came out from all corners and climbed up Newt's shoulders along his arms.
"I believe everyone is familiar with the characteristics of Bowtruckles. They like trees with 827 magic. So, if a group of Bowtruckles appear here, what does it mean?"
Newt asked the first question, and the students looked at each other, a little hesitant.
Hermione raised her arm high, and Newt called her name.
"Miss Granger, you can tell me. ”
Hermione said loudly: "Usually magical trees will grow fruits that are beneficial to magical animals, so there are likely to be other omnivorous animals nearby."
"Five points for Gryffindor." Newt smiled: "Very smart answer, I hope everyone can keep it in mind."
"The only thing to add is that it will not only attract omnivorous creatures, but also more predators."
"In the Muggle society, they also have a similar research system, which is called the food chain."
"The predator will follow the footsteps of the prey, and the prey will find a living environment suitable for itself, forming a stable chain. ”
As he spoke, Newt observed the surroundings and soon found a clue.
The bushes to the west showed signs of being pressed, so he led the students through them and encountered a group of earthworms not far away.
Further away, there was a group of deformed lizards.
Newt’s teaching style was free-spirited, and he would talk about whatever he encountered. He did not require students to memorize by heart, but to guide everyone to develop an interest in magical animals.
Interestis the best teacher.
If you are interested, you can easily remember the knowledge points, and maybe you will take the initiative to review after returning.
Studying just for the exam is unnecessary in Newt's opinion.
At worst, you will be expelled from school like him.
The two classes passed quickly, and when it was almost time, Newt led everyone to the outside of the Forbidden Forest.
He also assigned homework on the way.
"Then write a travel note, the length is not limited, focus on describing a magical animal you are interested in, and talk about your views and understanding of it, that's enough."
The little wizards smiled, and their good impression of Newt increased a lot.
When they arrived at the grassland, the class was disbanded on the spot, and Wayne took out a magic camera.
"Senior, being a professor is such a meaningful thing, let's take some photos."
Grindelwald needed photos of Dumbledore, but Wayne thought about it and felt that it was hard for Grindelwald to split his soul, so he should be paid more.
Grindelwald and Newt are also old acquaintances.
He must be very happy to see his old friend come to Hogwarts as a professor? .
