Chapter 574
Xiaobai couldn't turn into a girl, so she could only hide aside and sulk.
But the good news is that Black's face won't have two more claw marks.
Black collected the messy magical animals in the house again and temporarily hid them in a mimic suitcase. This suitcase was a gift from Newt, with a huge space and a beautiful environment.
Because he didn't plan to stuff these guys who finally came out to breathe into the Poké Ball again. Of course, Xiaobai didn't want to go back.
Then, the hardworking Dabao was assigned a new and difficult job, which was to deliver food to these magical animals every day...
Dabao said, whoever wants to do it dares, I can't do it! Because no matter how dexterous its hands are, it can't drag so much food!
Of course, Black felt that if Hagrid was there, he would be very willing to take over this job.
And Black is considering the feasibility of this matter.
However, fortunately, the magical animals that have awakened the transformation skill can completely make themselves smaller, and then take food from the food hut in the suitcase.
After tidying up the office, Black picked up the textbook and a small box and left the office.
Because today is the time for his first class.
There is no way. In order to prevent him from completely forgetting the time when doing research, Professor McGonagall sent three owls to bring him reminder letters last night, and also asked Cassandra and Hermione to pay attention to the reminder.
The students who came to the alchemy class today are fourth-year students.
In order to avoid the trouble of scheduling classes and not to delay Black's research time, Professor McGonagall simply put all the students of the same grade in all colleges who chose this subject into one class.
Anyway, the classroom in Black's tower was originally a large classroom for herbal medicine. After cleaning up the flower pots, it was enough to accommodate these people.
When Black walked down the tower and came to the classroom downstairs, the classroom was already full of people.
Given Black's fame and popularity, as well as his freshness to alchemy, almost everyone chose his course...
Black looked at the more than 100 people in the classroom and couldn't help but touch his nose.
Of course, such a small number of people is still a small matter compared to the grand occasion of the duel club at that time.
So, Black walked into the classroom very calmly.
When people saw Black, their eyes lit up instantly.
This is a person who can be called a legendary student of Hogwarts...
He is the youngest recipient of the Order of Merlin, First Class in history.
A few months ago, he was their classmate, and now, he is their professor.
"Good morning, guys." Black smiled and greeted everyone.
“I’m glad you chose my course, and I’m glad you’re interested in alchemy."
A girl suddenly shouted: "Professor Green! Actually, I am also interested in you!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
Then Blake felt several sharp eyes shooting at him.
"Ahem... Please pay attention to classroom discipline, Miss Delson."
Under those eyes, Blake was sweating a little.
"Of course, if you are interested, we can talk slowly after class..."
Blake immediately heard the sound of Cassandra clenching her fist in the front row...
After the episode, the class quickly returned to the track.
"Excuse me, who knows what is related to alchemy in our daily life?"
"The big clock in the Hogwarts clock tower!" Dean replied.
"Well, although the big clock is mostly mechanical structure, it also has a part of alchemy. So, is there anything else? ”
“The school’s college scorer.” A quiet girl whispered.
“Yes, the college scorer is indeed a very powerful alchemical item.” Blake said happily, “So, are there any more?”
Then everyone mentioned several more alchemical items in the castle.
Some people even said that the oil paintings in the castle were alchemical items.
“You all said a lot, some are, some are not, but there are some you overlooked.”
Blake pointed to the ceiling.
“In fact, the castle where you study and live all day is a huge alchemical product.”
When the students heard this point of view, their eyes widened suddenly.
“Yes! Which real castle has stairs that change at any time!”
“Yes! Yes! There are many small paths... that will appear at certain times...”
“I heard that there are still many secret rooms that have not been discovered. Only if you master the correct method can you enter. "
Everyone began to discuss the magic of this castle.
Blake smiled and said: "This castle has stood for a thousand years. Of course, it is protected by very powerful alchemy. However, we have just started to learn alchemy, so we will not discuss this castle for the time being."
"Let's start with the simplest..." Blake opened his small box and took out a brand new wizard chess.
After Blake set up the formation, the chess pieces on the chessboard began to sharpen their knives and look at the enemy on the opposite side.
"Wizard chess is actually made of alchemy. When you play, you can see that they are all like people, very realistic, can move and jump, and can even speak to give you advice... So... have you ever thought about how this is achieved? ”
Blake smiled and said, “Don’t think it’s boring to figure out the principle behind this, because… if you master the alchemy that can make puppets move in the future, you can create some puppets and let them helpYou do things you don't want to do or are too lazy to do?"
"For example... help me write a paper?" Fred's eyes widened.
"Although your motivation... professors will not agree, but your idea is really good." Black spread his hands and said: "If you can do it, then... why not?"
"Really? Can you really do it?" George asked excitedly: "If it's just a puppet..."
Black smiled and said: "Look at these chess pieces, if he is just a puppet with some simple movements, how can he talk to you and give you advice?"
"Yes! Why?"
Everyone's interest was immediately aroused.
"This is the secret of alchemy, and it is also what I will teach you next. ”
Blake also considered teaching everyone alchemy by starting with puppet making.
If he started with the ancient runes, these guys would definitely fall asleep...
There was no other way, he had just finished his student life, how could he not understand the nature of these guys?
Alchemical puppets can usually be linked to fun things, so that students will not lose interest.
Next, Blake did not start to explain the theory, but directly led the students to practice.
He distributed a ball of clay to each student and asked the students to mold a small doll according to their wishes. .
Then, Blake wrote two ancient runes on the blackboard, one meaning upward and the other meaning downward.
Then, Blake asked them to carve the ancient runes on the parts of the dolls they made that they wanted to move.
Then he taught them how to connect the two ancient runes in series to make them work...
Then, the students were surprised to find that the clay sculpture they had just made was actually moving!
Fred and George looked at the clay sculpture in their hands excitedly, the stiff arms that kept moving up and down.
"I didn't expect it... it's that simple! "Lee Jordan also said excitedly.
However, Fred and George ignored him. There is no doubt that they were inspired by Black's alchemy.
I believe that before long, a new batch of prank items will appear in the school.
When the get out of class was over, Black taught them the application of these two ancient runes in alchemy. (To read the exciting novels, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
As for theoretical knowledge, it was not taught at all.
However, this first class was a complete success. After all, the first class was supposed to arouse everyone's interest.
Only when they realize the magic of alchemy, have a real interest in alchemy, and are willing to learn alchemy.
They will have the patience to accept those boring theoretical knowledge...
After the class, it was already noon. []
Black, the professor of the elective course, was free again.
After patiently answering several people's questions, he rushed to the auditorium to have a meal.
On the way, Black met Hagrid who was hurriedly walking out of the castle.
"Hagrid, I think you must have encountered something good?"
This big guy always showed his mood on his face, and now he looked very happy.
It was as if a little fire dragon had just hatched.
"Well... it is indeed a good thing..." Hagrid tugged at the corner of his clothes a little shyly...
"Just now Professor Kettleburn told me that he wanted to work in the Magic Zoo, and then... he mentioned to the headmaster that he wanted to give up his teaching position at Hogwarts..." Hagrid's face flushed.
"Oh..." Black suddenly realized, "Let me guess, Professor Kettleburn must have recommended you to Professor Dumbledore to take over his position as the professor of Care of Magical Creatures?"
"Ah?" Hagrid looked at Black in shock, "You... did you guess this yourself?"
"That's an easy guess, Hagrid!" Black smiled, "Anyway, congratulations."
"You're really smart, Black... Yes, that's right, Professor Dumbledore just told me about this!" Hagrid said happily.
Black touched his chin. It seems that history was restored at some point, and Hagrid finally became a professor.
Professor Kettleburn was originally an old guy who was unwilling to be lonely.
If he didn't like excitement so much, he wouldn't have lost his arms and legs...
Now that his arms and legs have been healed, and Newt has such an exciting and magical zoo, he really can't stand the peaceful life of "raising children" here in Hogwarts.
"Thank you..." Hagrid's face flushed with excitement, as if he had just drunk two barrels of whiskey.
"Then...what about your position as gamekeeper?" Black suddenly asked.
Hagrid was slightly stunned, and then said: "Dumbledore asked me to do it. However, this doesn't hinder me."
"Well...but this will definitely have some impact on you...so...Hagrid, do you want help?" Black asked with a burning look.
"Helper? I don't need help, I can do it alone." Hagrid shook his head.
"But you don't want to disperse your energy, right? This is your first time as a professor, and it's very energy-consuming." Black continued to fool.
"Well... do you want to recommend someone to me?" Hagrid asked.
"Yes, if you want."
"Can you tell me who it is?"
Black smiled: "You know him too, and you are very familiar with him."
"Really? Who is it?" Hagrid's interest was aroused.
"Do you remember... Big Bear?"
"Your bear? Of course I remember!That's a cute little guy... Wait, you're recommending a bear to me?" Hagrid frowned, "Black... How can a bear be a gamekeeper..."
Of course, he didn't doubt Black's ability to tame magical animals, but no matter how obedient and docile Big Bear was, he was just a bear. He couldn't do the work that only humans could do.
"Big Bear is different now..." Black laughed, "He taught himself Transfiguration... After his transformation, except for a bear head, he is almost like a human... Maybe you can think of him as a... Animagus wizard bear..."
"Really? That little guy is so smart! "Hagrid looked at Black in surprise.
To be honest, if Black could convince Dumbledore, he wouldn't mind partnering with a guy with a bear's head and a human body!
It's better to have someone as a companion when patrolling the Forbidden Forest at night than to bring only Fang, the coward, because there is someone to talk to... Oh, right...
"Black, then... can the bear speak? You know, can he speak English..."
Black laughed, "In fact, he not only speaks fluent English, but he is even learning French now, because I don't know who he heard that there are many beautiful little female bears in France... He seems to have overlooked one point, that is, the little female bears in France don't speak French..."
"Haha, it's really time to find him a partner, Black... You should have told me earlier." Hagrid laughed, "I can find him a beautiful female bear!"
"In that case... I think he will recognize you as his big brother. Hagrid..." Black said with a smile.
Meeting Hagrid was a coincidence, but this incident was indeed an opportunity. As long as Big Bear was brought close to Hogwarts as a gamekeeper.
Then, he could help Black find a place in the Forbidden Forest to house his magical animals.
With these powerful guys watching, Hogwarts would be much safer.
Although Hagrid could help him, Hagrid was a bit careless, and he had too...no idea about these ferocious magical animals, so Black was not at ease.
So, Big Bear, who was his own man, was more reassuring.
There was no way. Black didn't know if his divination talent was returning. He always felt that something would happen in Hogwarts in the future...
So, he needed to try his best to make Hogwarts safe.
"I'll go back and find a female bear for Big Bear. Of course, you have to convince Professor Dumbledore... Oh, if you go and say it, Dumbledore will definitely agree! "Hagrid said excitedly.
After parting with Hagrid, Black did not enter the hall, but went to Dumbledore's office instead.
Because he did not intend to hide this from Dumbledore.
Keeping so many dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest requires Dumbledore's approval.
"I agree. Leave this to me." Dumbledore said straightforwardlyHe agreed.
Black looked at Dumbledore in surprise. He had prepared many arguments, but he hadn't had time to say them yet...
"Really? Big Bear is a bear..." Black asked in disbelief.
"Oh, isn't this what you suggested? Black? Besides, this is a magic school. Isn't it normal to have a gamekeeper with a bear's head and a human body?" Dumbledore said with a smile. "I personally think it's very cool..."
"Then the Ministry of Magic..."
"I will write to that old bastard Grindelwald. This is your suggestion, so he will make the Ministry of Magic shut up, right?" Dumbledore said calmly.
Black looked at Dumbledore in a daze.
Professor! You have changed! .
