The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 450 The Birth of the Ash Snake

When Newt's voice fell, the whole place became silent. Everyone could even hear the sound of snowflakes falling on their shoulders, and the sound of robes dragging on the ground.

Everyone froze in place.

Luna's body trembled, and she pulled down the hood of her robe to cover her silver hair. At the same time, with a tap of her wand, she tore off a strip of fabric lining the robe and turned it into a mask.

She tried hard to restrain her body from shaking and quickly put the mask on her face.

In just a few seconds, Luna had put on a disguise. If you didn't look carefully at this moment, you wouldn't be able to see her original appearance - she looked like an ordinary witch who was inconspicuous and afraid of the cold.

She took small steps and moved behind Tom and Hermione, allowing them to cover her figure. Although Hermione had some objections to Luna's behavior of skipping school, after spending the past few years with Tom, she had become a little more mellow and no longer had the same personality as when she first started school, so she silently accepted Luna and took the initiative. Keep her behind you.

At this time, Snape had already walked to Newt's side.

"Professor Snape, I don't think I need to introduce you." Newt smiled and made room for Snape. "Perhaps some of you know that in addition to teaching at Hogwarts, Professor Snape is also well-known. The master of potions in the wizarding world. The eggs of the Ash Snake happen to be a precious potion material, so I successfully invited Professor Snape here. He will introduce to you the medicine of the Egg of the Ash Snake for me. Use value.”

Newt actually said it very tactfully. The reason why he invited Snape over was definitely not to introduce him to the snake eggs. Newt Scamander also knew the purpose of the Ash Snake eggs. The purpose of inviting Snape over was to watch over the situation for him so as not to cause any accidents.

He knew that Snape also had profound knowledge in Charms and could become a very reliable helper, so he successfully invited Snape over on the condition of the eggs of the Ash Snake.

After Snape heard that he could receive a batch of fire-ash snake eggs, he was also a little excited: This kind of rare potion material is not easy to obtain, especially this extremely fresh one. If handled properly, the effect will be much better. So he asked the students to study by themselves in the first class, and then rushed over by himself.

"Everyone applaud and welcome Professor Snape!"

Little wizards:...

After these words were spoken, no one moved and they immediately fell silent. Snape's face twitched.

Newt was embarrassed. He didn't expect that Snape was so unpopular that no one even supported him. Fortunately, there was a sound in the brazier at the right time, which relieved Newt's embarrassment: the Ash Snake was born!

"Quick, everyone, come here!" Newt shouted, pretending that nothing happened just now, he pointed to a place in the brazier and said: "Look, this is the Ash Snake."

Tom leaned over and stretched his head to look into the brazier. He had never seen an ash snake before. This magical animal, born from magic fire and with a lifespan of only one hour, aroused his curiosity.

The ash snake in the brazier has a thin body, its eyes are flashing with red light, and its body is gray-white, like burned charcoal.

After the Fire Ash Snake was born, it did not stay calmly in the flames like a salamander, but tried to crawl out of the brazier.

"After the Ash Snake is born, it will emerge from the unattended flames and swim into the shadow of the house to find its own shelter." Newt spoke quickly to introduce the habits of the Ash Snake to the little wizards. , and at the same time, he quickly took out pieces of wood and built a simple cabin with extremely quick hands and feet. ,

Only a wizard can build a house so quickly.

As if they sensed something, the fire ash snakes quickly crawled towards the wooden house, leaving a trail of ash behind them. Newt breathed a sigh of relief when the last ash snake crawled into the wooden house that Newt had built. He looked at Snape and saw that Snape nodded slightly, and Newt felt relieved.

At this point, the lesson is half done.

"Does anyone know why I have to take classes outdoors? Even if it's snowing today." After the hanging stone fell to the ground, Newt was in the mood to ask questions.

Hermione raised her hand. When she raised her hand, she secretly glanced at Tom and found that Tom seemed to have no intention of answering Newt's question, so she felt a secret joy in her heart. It feels like I'm secretly studying while my roommates are playing games.

It seemed that he was finally a little ahead of Tom.

"Miss Granger." Newt nodded Hermione's name with a smile.

"Because the life span of the fire ash snake is only one hour. During this hour, it will find a dark and hidden place to lay its eggs. After that, its body will be broken into pieces and turned into dust. And they lay eggs The eggs will emit blazing light. If people fail to discover these eggs in time and freeze them with appropriate spells, they will ignite the house in a few minutes." Hermione said seriously: "No matter which Any wizard who realizes that there is one or more ash snakes wandering around the house must immediately track them down and find out the location of the snake eggs, otherwise the house will be burned down."

"You choose to take classes outside the castle because you are afraid that the fire ash snakes will escape and go to a corner of Hogwarts to lay their eggs. Outside the castle, the fire ash snakes will give priority to crawling into the wooden house you built. That way you have everything under control.”

"That's right, ten points for Ravenclaw." Newt applauded Hermione after hearing her answer. "If we really burn down Hogwarts, I can't afford to pay for it. It's still snowing today." What a good thing!”

Many young wizards shrank their necks when they heard this. Is snowing a good thing? It's very cold! They stood in the snow, almost freezing.

"If there really is a fire, it's easier to put out the fire in the snow." Newt said quietly.

Little wizards:...

Next, Newt asked the little wizards to come to the wooden house he had built and wait quietly for the Ash Snake to lay its eggs.

An hour flies by. The last ash snake was also broken into pieces and turned into a pool of charcoal ash, leaving only a dazzling red snake egg in place.

"Hurry and freeze!" Newt no longer hesitated, flying up the house and quickly using the freezing spell to freeze all the snake eggs exposed in the air. Snape next to him also moved very quickly. Newt froze a snake egg, and he put the egg into a small box. It can be seen that the box also contains the magic cast by Snape, which can maintain the frozen state of the ash snake eggs.

In less than three minutes, all the eggs laid by the fire ash snakes were put into the box by the two of them.
