Hogwarts: From Squibs to Greatness

Chapter 87

Sure enough, news came out not long after that Malfoy was kicked out of Professor Snape's office with a pale face.

It is said that Gore and Crabbe, who were standing outside at that time, only eavesdropped on the conversation outside for a while, and they couldn't help shaking with fear, which shows how terrible the venom spewed by the Snake King was.

Time soon came to Saturday, and according to the note Ron asked Hedwig to send, John went to Hagrid's cabin.

"Oh! John, you're here!" Hagrid smiled and opened the door to welcome John in.

At the moment, Harry and the others in the room were discussing about Lockhart. Although he had a custom-made fixed magic generator, the arrogant Lockhart still made a lot of fools.

This made both Harry and Ron suspect that he was a flashy fellow, while Hermione remained adamant that Lockhart was a good wizard.

But soon the argument stopped because John sat down.

"Ron, you said your wand is broken, show it to me." John didn't say much, and said straight to the point.

Hearing John's words, Ron took out the wand that was simply repaired with magic tape from his arms in surprise.

John took the wand, tore off the tape wrapped around the break, and began to check the broken part of the wand.

The wood on the outside is completely broken, but the good news is that the core is still intact.

Ron poked his head up to see John inspecting the wand, and said immediately, "Aspenwood and unicorn hair, this is Charlie's old wand. It belongs to me after school."

"You don't even know John. I've made a fool of myself several times in class these days because of this damn wand, especially in front of Malfoy and the others. I've had enough!"

When Ron said this, his face flushed slightly, and he didn't know if it was because of the embarrassment of making a fool of himself, the anger of being laughed at by Malfoy and the others, or the inferiority of his brother's old wand because of the poor family's wand.

"Okay, I see, there is still a way to fix it, but I still suggest that you better buy a new wand when you are on vacation."

"Although the old wand of a loved one will indeed work with you, it is not the most suitable wand for you after all, which will affect your magic performance."

Ron didn't pay attention to John's next words, but smiled happily when he heard that it could be repaired.

"Great, I knew you could. Fortunately, it can be fixed. I don't want to receive the roaring letter anymore. Because of the previous roaring letter, Ginny ignored me for several days."

John took some material and retainers from the ring, and simply patched where the old wand had broken and fixed it.

"You can use this during this period of time. This is the wand I made through practice."

John took out a spare wand and handed it to Ron. This one was made at the same time as the one John used last time in Knockturn Alley.

This kind of spare wand basically has no personality, just like a product on the assembly line, anyone can use it.

Ron took the spare wand and waved it briefly twice, and found that this wand was easier to use than the old wand. He couldn't help feeling that John was really amazing.

"Okay, let's talk about the wand later, Ron, I just have something to ask you." John said after putting away the old wand, looking at Ron.

Ron heard John's words, put away the spare wand in his hand, and asked, "What's the matter?"

"It's like this. I wrote to ask your father, that is, Mr. Weasley, to ask him if he is willing to become a technical consultant for the Red Dragon Alchemy House, 100 Galleons a month, free working hours, and will not interfere with his work in the Ministry of Magic. work."

"But there has been no reply. I would like to ask you to ask your father for an answer to this matter."

When Ron heard that 100 Galleons a month, his eyes glistened with gold coins.

Mr. Weasley's monthly salary for working in the Ministry of Magic is only 120 Galleons. If you add the 100 Galleons for this job, then it will be 220 Galleons a month.

Then his family's life will improve a bit by then, just like his magic wand, can he afford it?
"No problem John, I'll write and ask my dad"

Ron was eager to fly back to the Burrow with his wings now, and persuade his father to take the extra job.

But Ron didn't notice that Hermione's face was a little shocked after hearing what John said.

Just when Ron was immersed in the fantasy of being rich, Hermione asked after deliberation: "John, the Red Dragon Alchemy House you mentioned just now is the one that sells magic alchemy props that allow Squibs to use?"

John nodded, and Hermione asked after seeing this, "Then... you are actually the master alchemist, right?"

Hearing Hermione's words, Harry and the others remembered that last semester, when John explained why Filch respected him so much, he said that related items had been made.

Hermione had actually noticed it when she saw the news, but she was immersed in Lockhart's books at that time, and temporarily forgot about it.

Ron and Harry looked at John in shock, while Hagrid smiled like a child eating candy,
"Hagrid, did you already know?" Harry asked Hagrid, who was smiling very happily.
Hagrid nodded: "When John was researching, I sent him a lot of materials, and I actually went there on the day the store opened."

Now the trio looked at Hagrid in shock. They didn't expect that Hagrid not only knew everything, but also participated in it. Most importantly, after such a long time, there was no news about John. This proves that Hagrid The news was not leaked because of the big mouth.

They realized again that people are different, and that John is simply amazing, having his own business at such a young age, which is not an ordinary career.

Now Ron was a little hesitant to tell his father about work.

John saw Ron's thoughts at a glance, and said directly: "Ron, I originally wanted to recruit a technical consultant. I asked your father because Uncle Weasley's alchemy skills are really good, not because I want to help you."

Hearing John's words, Ron nodded. He knew that when John said something seriously, he was telling the truth.

After chatting for a while, they bid farewell to Hagrid and went back to the dormitory.

On the night of September 1992, 9, there was a full moon.

On this day, the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest became active, and the forest became extraordinarily lively because of these werewolves.

Tonight, Hagrid is holding the alchemy gun given to him by John, wearing the night vision glasses also given to him by John, and leading Fang to patrol the Forbidden Forest to prevent werewolves from running out to attack the castle.

After being attacked before, the magic crossbow that John gave to Hai Ge was damaged. Later, on the opening day of John's shop, John gave him the alchemy fire gun specially made for Highgate.

The alchemy gun made by John was made quite large considering Hagrid's size and strength, so the caliber of the gun was also quite large, and it could knock down a stone wall with one shot.

The barrel is cast from magic metal, and the handle is made of guardian wood, with a large number of guardian circles engraved on it to increase strength and reduce recoil.

The bullet uses the same type of magic bullet as Black Star, which is condensed by the magic circle carved inside the barrel, and the bullet can be condensed in about a quarter of a second.

All the energy of the magic circle comes from a small piece of magic stone the size of a thumb belly hidden in the handle of the gun.

Don't underestimate this small piece, just such a small piece, enough for Hagrid to shoot non-stop for 100 years.

John made several at that time, and only this one succeeded.

When Hagrid first got this alchemy firecracker, he couldn't put it down. In order to make good use of this precious, perhaps the first alchemy firecracker in the wizarding world, Hagrid dedicated a month of shooting training and physical training.

Carefully observing his surroundings, Hagrid paid close attention to the movements around him.

At this moment, there was a shrill howl of wolves in the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid saw several werewolves rushing out from the depths of the Forbidden Forest, rushing towards him.

Immediately, Hagrid picked up the alchemy gun in his hand and pulled the trigger.

The magic power accelerated in the internal circuit, and under the action of the magic power, the magic bullet accelerated to a terrifying speed, flew out of the gun chamber, and hit a werewolf.

Immediately, the bullet exploded. Even though the werewolf skin had defensive power and magic resistance, it was not enough to face such a terrifying attack.

The werewolf who was hit was directly blown to pieces, and the thick blood spread.

It seemed that such a bloody scene and blood anger stimulated those werewolves, and they saw these guys howling up to the sky and rushing towards Hagrid.

Then there was a huge gunshot in the Forbidden Forest, and those werewolves were all blown to pieces.

Even the werewolf who lost his mind due to the full moon instinctively felt fear in the face of such a brutal scene.

So the surviving werewolves retreated slowly, staring at Hagrid, who was watching them with a firearm, and retreated into the Forbidden Forest.

What Hagrid didn't know was that the howling wolf he heard just now was actually caused by John.

In order to study the essence of werewolves, so as to relieve the curse of werewolves, which is a headache in the wizarding world, help those wizards who are distressed by this, and increase their chips in the future.

John will come to the Forbidden Forest to catch werewolves on the day of the full moon.

However, these werewolves in the Forbidden Forest are primitive werewolves and will not become humans, so John will go to Knockturn Alley during the holidays to catch two werewolf black wizards.

John naturally also heard the gunshots, and knew that it was Hagrid's shot, but John was not worried that Hagrid would be in danger.

Before there was no alchemy gun, Hagrid could deal with these werewolves, let alone now.

Stuffing the leader of the werewolf group with severed limbs and sealed mouth into the space, John was about to leave.

At this moment, an arrow shot out from a gap in the trees, heading straight towards John's shoulder.

But John didn't even intend to dodge, and saw that the arrow hit John's body, as if hitting some thick fur, and fell powerlessly to the ground.

John smiled at the direction the arrow came from, and Long Wei released it quietly.

"Forget it this time. If there is such a thing next time, I don't mind letting your ethnic group die."

Seeing the fearful and fleeing centaur in the darkness, John curled his lips. He looked down on this kind of creature who couldn't figure out his status.

Now is not the era when other races and wizards fought against each other. They can only hide in the Forbidden Forest and pretend to look down on wizards. I really don't know how to write the word dead.

What John didn't know was that after he left, a group of centaurs appeared at the place where he disappeared. The leading elderly centaurs sighed and led the centaurs back after realizing that John had left.

　Mr. Weasley's salary was speculated based on their half-year salary of 700 Galleons after they won the lottery.

　　Also, I really don't understand what the centaur thinks. You are not a murloc. They can hide in the water. The wizard can solve them in minutes once the coalition forces come together. I don't understand the attitude towards the wizard.
