I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 169

"Orlando, you can't do this, you are instigating Hagrid to commit a crime." Hermione put on her shoes and said reproachfully.

"I'm not saying these things for him to fight with force, but to explain a fact, the fact that the Ministry of Magic bullies the weak and fears the strong." Orlando took a sip of tea. To be honest, Hagrid's taste is a bit unique. The tea has a smell of tree roots, which made him Once you take one sip, you can't drink any more.

"What Hagrid has to do is to stay calm and don't get upset about this matter, because it's unnecessary."

"Is it just watching poor Buckbeak being killed like this?" Hagrid was angry. He didn't understand what Orlando meant by saying so much.

"Isn't there still me, Hagrid." Orlando took out a pill from his bosom, and put the bottle in Hagrid's hand, "This is Huafan Blood Congealing Pill, don't ask me what it is? I don’t understand, you just need to know that it can greatly increase Buckbeak’s strength. Of course, now is not a good time to take it, you have to wait for the Commissioner for Disposal of Dangerous Creatures to come and give it to Buckbeak when he is handed over Subdue it, so that if something goes wrong, it has nothing to do with you, does it?"

"Is it really so magical?" Hagrid couldn't believe it.

"When did I lie to you? If you are worried, you can call me then."

"And us," Ron said hastily, "we'll help you."

Hagrid was skeptical, but out of trust in Orlando, he still kept the pill close to him.

"Remember, don't open the bottle until then. This pill is very tempting to these magical creatures. Once opened, Buckby must overcome it immediately, otherwise the animals in the Forbidden Forest will swarm over if they smell the smell." Orlando was worried, and asked again and again.

With the reassurance of Orlando, Hagrid finally held back his tears, and after Harry and Ron made jokes, he finally felt relieved.

After all this work, Orlando took them back to the castle. At this time, the inside and outside of the castle were newly decorated, and the usual magnificent Christmas decorations were done, and the festive atmosphere was everywhere, although there were few students staying in school.

Although they are not planning to celebrate the holidays at school, good things always make people happy. Orlando took Hermione's hand and wandered around the campus. Harry and Ron bid farewell to them in the hall very tactfully.

The corridor walls were hung with thick friezes of holly and mistletoe, mysterious lights shone from within each suit of armor, and the great hall stood as usual with twelve Christmas trees shining with golden stars. .From a long distance, Orlando can smell full of strong and attractive cooking aroma.

"Why don't we go back after dinner." Orlando suggested.

"You can't walk when you smell the smell of vegetables. I'm really convinced." Hermione teased. She knew that Orlando had a lot of energy and blood. Energy is not really gluttonous.

"Hey, I have paid for food, which is six times that of ordinary students. I should eat more." Orlando retorted solemnly.

"Let's go, my foodie boyfriend." Hermione walked first with a smile.

After enjoying a sumptuous lunch, Orlando bid farewell to the others, and the two quietly returned to the dormitory through the light door through the portable suitcase to the hidden hut.

"Little master, you are back." Yuri had been waiting here early, and Orlando handed him the suitcase in his hand.

"Where's the teacher?"

"The old master is taking a lunch break, do you want me to call him?"

"No, you go and clean up the house, we will live here this holiday."

"This feeling is good. The old master has been talking about it for many days. If he knows it, he might be very happy."

"Go, Capri will be late with a suitcase, and you can arrange his accommodation later."

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot," Orlando took out a bag of candy from his pocket and stuffed it to Yuri, "Hey, your Christmas present."

Hermione gave him a pack too, "This is mine."

Yuri was holding two packs of candy, tears of excitement were about to come out.

"Okay, okay, there's no need to say thank you, hurry up and work on your work." Orlando said that he couldn't see the house elf lying on the ground and kissing his shoes, and hurriedly stopped him.

Seeing Yuri leave with two packs of candies in gratitude, Hermione thought thoughtfully, "Orlando, are all house-elves like this?"

"Yeah," Orlando knew that the kind-hearted woman was fighting for these house elves, but as far as he was concerned, he didn't want to change anything. After all, it was a thankless job, and he didn't want Hermione to get involved, so he persuaded Dao: "In ancient times, wizards and other intelligent creatures lived under the same sky. In order to compete for resources, space, and the right to survive, they fought with each other and launched wars again and again. The contest of slavery. The ancestors used their bravery and wisdom to conquer other intelligent life, let wizards dominate the magical world, and established a human-centered magical order and rules. And the house elves are only a part of this order. If you If you want to overthrow it, then you are negating the efforts of your ancestors, a betrayal, and a provocation to the existing order and rules."

Seeing that Hermione's expression was not very good, Orlando hurriedly added: "I am not sensationalizing this, but stating a fact."

"Did you use his heart to me?" Hermione's face was not very good, she felt offended, "otherwise how would you know what I was thinking?"

"No, how is it possible? I'm just guessing. You know that I won't use his telepathy on you without your consent." Orlando quickly explained that he didn't want to be misunderstood by Hermione.

"Really?" Hermione looked at him suspiciously.

"Really, more real than real gold."

"I believe it's your fault, hmph." Hermione actually believed it, but there were a lot of Orlando Barbara, which instantly extinguished the flame she had just ignited. This kind of disheartened feeling was unacceptable to her.

In order to confirm what Orlando said, Hermione stayed in the study for the whole afternoon and did not come out. She flipped through the historical books, looking for the answer.

Nicole Flamel took a nap for a while and then woke up. Orlando made a pot of kung fu tea, and the two chatted while drinking. After learning that Hermione had an issue with him because of the house elves, the old man laughed "haha" Apparently, he doesn't really agree with Orlando's point of view, but he is not prepared to intervene. After all, it is a good thing that young people have their own ideas, and there is no such thing as who is right and who is wrong.

"Teacher, I have to ask you to help me arrange the defense of the new house in a few days."

"Is that the manor you mentioned in Hogsmeade?" Nicole Flamel put down his teacup and asked in surprise, "It's only been a few days, and you've settled the deal?"

"It's settled. The magic contract and the defense blueprint are in my hands. Fuad is the contemporary spokesperson of the Shafiq family. He is a very shrewd businessman. After his strength and background, he took the initiative to contact me, poured me a bunch of confused soup, and asked me to accept his free gift. After I found out, he was going to sell it to me at half price. He said it was a favor, but I was not fooled. Paid in full."

Orlando briefly talked about the process of buying a house, and Nicole Flamel nodded frequently.

"You are right. There is no free lunch in the world. I am very pleased that you can not get carried away by money. Money is like floating clouds to us. We can have as much as we want. There is no need to owe a little money. Favors, you must know that money debts are easy to repay, and human debts are difficult, and you can realize this at this age, which is commendable." Nicole Flamel felt relieved, and became more and more satisfied with this disciple.

"Teacher, your reputation is too high. Fortunately, the dementors have been raging in Hogsmeade Village for a long time, causing the housing prices there to drop again and again. Otherwise, I would not be able to take this manor at an extremely low price. Take advantage of it."
