The Alchemist of Harry Potter

"Harry Potter The Alchemist ()"

"I hate rain!"

"You've said that more than once."

"Why do we have to go outdoors for a class on the protection of magical animals on a rainy day?"

"Who knows?"

Although I often encountered a similar situation last year, Albert felt particularly irritable every time it rained. Going out to class on a rainy day was purely a matter of suffering.

The students were miserable, and every time they came back, they were all covered in mud, and many would rather go to a Defense Against the Dark Arts class than go outdoors for a Fantastic Beasts class in this spooky weather.

The heavy rain has continued for nearly half a month, the lake water has risen sharply, and the ground outside the castle is muddy. On the way to the edge of the forbidden forest, it is easy to fall if you are not careful.

As he passed the hunting lodge, Albert saw Hagrid draining the pumpkin fields in his mink coat.

"These pumpkins are so big, Hagrid must have used the Expansion Charm," Fred muttered softly.

Ordinary pumpkins can't grow so big at all. Hagrid's pumpkins swelled up to the size of a flower shed. Can you not doubt it?

"That's what your little sister said." Hagrid put down the farm tools, glanced at the four people who were coming over and asked, "What are you doing here now?"

"We'll be taking a class on the conservation of magical animals on the edge of the Forbidden Forest later," Albert replied.

"By the way, Professor Kettleb seems to be retiring?" Hagrid said suddenly, "At the end of this year, when I passed by just now, I heard him complaining about his sore back and legs. You know, he has left A lot of dark wounds are easy to occur on rainy days."

"Who's taking the class?" Lee Jordan asked.

"Probably Professor Wilmina Grapland." Albert said without hesitation.

"How did you know?" The four of them turned their heads towards Albert and asked curiously.

"We met her before, remember?" Albert reminded helplessly, "It's in Professor Kettlebo's forest cabin."

"Will Wiomina be our new Conservation of Magical Creatures professor?" George continued.

"It's Wilmina." Albert corrected: "I don't know. But if she doesn't have time to come to Hogwarts as a professor of protection of magical creatures, you can try it, Hagrid, maybe Dumbledore will. I agree with you to take the vacant seat of Professor Keelber."

At this moment, Fred, George and Lee Jordan all turned their heads and looked at Albert with a strange look. They always felt that Hagrid was unreliable as a professor of protecting magical creatures.

But listening to Albert say this gave them the feeling that Hagrid is very likely to become a professor of protection of magical creatures.

"That...I'm thinking about it," Hagrid said. "I heard that Professor Kettlebo recommended Professor Grapland to Professor Dumbledore, but Professor Grapland is still thinking about it, and it seems that she can't expect to serve at Hogwarts for a long time. Protect the Fantastic Creatures Professor."

"If Professor Keitelbo retires and Professor Grapland doesn't want to stay at Hogwarts for a long time, I will submit an application to Professor Dumbledore." Hagrid said with a smile, "You know that I am also in the protection of magical creatures. Very good at."

"Honestly, I don't really want Hagrid to be a professor of Conservation of Magical Creatures."

After the four of them walked away, Fred whispered: "You should know what I mean, Hagrid may have some knowledge about protecting magical creatures, but he has no experience in teaching students at all, and Hagrid always gives me a very good feeling. Unreliable feeling."

"If he becomes a professor of the protection of magical creatures class, there may be a day when trolls will appear in the class." George agreed with Fred.

However, what Albert just said always gave them a bad hunch, maybe Hagrid would really become a professor of the protection of magical creatures.

"Even if you look at me like this, it's useless, I'm just telling the truth." Albert shrugged indifferently and said, "Professor Wilmina Grapland is really suitable to fill the vacancy,

But if she hadn't applied, Hagrid would have had a good chance of succeeding. "

The class was near Professor Kettlebo's cabin. As soon as they approached, they heard Lockhart's screams. The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor ran out of Professor Kettlebo's cabin, looking extremely embarrassed.

He also stumbled on George's foot, fell heavily to the ground, made it full of mud, and drank a few mouthfuls of muddy water.

"Are you okay, Professor Lockhart." Albert reached out and pulled Lockhart up from the ground.

"It's okay, it's okay, I just came to discuss the bird snake egg yolk shampoo with Professor Ketelber, and I was attacked by the bird snake."

After speaking, Lockhart took out a handkerchief to wipe the muddy water on his face, and when he was about to return to the castle, he put a clinker bottle in Albert's hand and whispered, "This is the bird snake egg yolk shampoo I developed. , you can take it back and try it, the effect is really good."

"what is this?"

Looking at the back of Lockhart leaving, George returned his gaze to the bottle that Lockhart gave him, picked it up and looked up and down.

"Bird Snake Egg Yolk Shampoo, maybe?" Albert said casually.

"You'd better throw that thing away. It's dangerous. I've never seen someone so extravagant as to use bird snake eggs to make shampoo. Professor Lockhart must be crazy." Professor Ketelber He came out on crutches, babbled in his mouth, and seemed very dissatisfied with Lockhart.

It can't be blamed on him either. Who made Professor Kettler treasure his nest of birds and snakes, and Lockhart was going to use the eggs of the treasure to make some kind of bird-snake egg yolk shampoo, which almost drove him crazy. In the end, they quietly released birds and snakes to drive away Lockhart, the nasty monster.

Professor Ketelber used magic to float a charcoal-burning iron barrel, and led Albert and the others to the woods on the side of the hut, where there were a few lush evergreen trees, and there was a large dry area below where a bonfire was stacked.

After the damp campfire was lit, a large amount of white smoke came out.

"What you will learn in this class is how to draw blood from salamanders. I introduced you to the amazing creatures of salamanders last year. At present, there is a flu in the school, and Madam Pomfrey needs a lot of fire. Lizard blood to make a refresher." Kettleb poured an iron bucket of salamanders into the bonfire and handed out glass test tubes to students, then showed them how to get blood from the salamanders.

"This is a good opportunity for you." Professor Kettleb said with a smile, "Whoever can get the most salamander blood before get out of class will get a special reward."

"What special reward?" a student asked curiously.

"This is it."

Having said that, Professor Ketelber took out a silver statue from his pocket and said with a smile, "This is a bird and snake statue I made from bird and snake eggshells."

"That thing should be sterling silver." Albert found that Professor Ketelber really liked bird snakes.

While everyone's attention is drawn to the so-called special reward, the Weasley twins have their sights set on the salamander in the campfire, which they seem to be trying to "save" from their Fantastic Beasts class.

"What do you want this thing to do?" Albert asked puzzled.

"We wanted to study the effects of giving fireworks to salamanders," Fred and George explained in a low voice.

"Are you devils?" Lee Jordan muttered, although he himself said so, he had a look of eagerness on his face.
