Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

More importantly, what do you think this is?Is this just a drink?

No, this is the common room partytime [party time] that Hufflepuff badgers love most!

Invariably, almost every little wizard rushed back to his dormitory and took out bags after bags of snacks from their luggage, such as dried fruits, candied fruits, meat snacks, candies, snacks...

Never question the food content in a Hufflepuff suitcase. Although not everyone is a foodie, at least if you find ten little wizards in Hufflepuff, there will be at least four little wizards in it who can give you food. You find a wide variety of snacks in his suitcase. There are also three bags of candies and small cakes that can be dug out no matter how hard it is.

The average "food content" can reach at least 70.00%.

So, just like that, Moon, who had already guessed that everyone would come back with doubts, successfully "bribed" everyone with five boxes of drinks, and single-handedly led a fight that kept him up until two o'clock in the morning on the first day of the holiday collection. Carnival party.

Chapter 70 Sniff!

The carnival has an end after all—and not just an end, but a price.

The next day, which was the first Charms class on Monday morning, almost all the little wizards of Hufflepuff stomped into the classroom listlessly, and asked Professor Flitwick who was standing on the podium. I looked at it for a while and was stunned.

Swollen eye bags, dark circles, empty eyes, stiff movements...

Is this Hogwarts or Azkaban?

Professor Flitwick began to wonder if he had not woken up this morning, so he had dreamed something out of a horror story.

So he secretly stood behind a pile of books and kicked his right calf with the tip of his left toe.

It hurts a little, but I'm not dreaming.

"Ahem - okay, everyone, please wake up." Professor Flitwick sighed helplessly, "It's time for class, come on, starting from this week, we will start learning the Banishing Curse..."

The whole class time passed by in a hurry under Professor Flitwick's teaching. From the beginning to the end, the classroom was filled with the continuous output of knowledge by Professor Flitwick alone.It was very rare that Professor Flitwick didn't even come down and move around during the whole class.

Therefore, the only difference in the classroom from class to get out of class is: during class, the little wizards at least remained seated, but by the time class ended, two-thirds of the little wizards in the classroom had fallen down. .

"Oh my God, if I hadn't been in charge of patrolling the castle last night, I would have almost wondered if you all sneaked into the Forbidden Forest together last night." The professor put away his wand and looked at the 'splendid scene' in the classroom with a mixture of laughter and tears. , said helplessly: "Let's go quickly, don't sleep like this next class."

While packing up his books, Moon secretly turned his face away to avoid making eye contact with Professor Flitwick, who would see the embarrassment in his eyes.

There is no way, who makes him have to take full responsibility for everyone's appearance today...

Fortunately, after catching up on sleep in the Charms class, the fourth-year Hufflepuff wizards seemed to have finally regained some of the energy they had exhausted last night. Everyone called each other up one by one, and then They all bowed and apologized to Professor Flitwick, fled the Charms classroom in despair, stood in the corridor, looked at each other, and then snickered absurdly.

"So, what's the next class?" Gal, who was groggy from sleep, fiddled with his messy hair twice and said confusedly: "Potions? Transfiguration?"

"It's Muggle Studies." Moon patted Gal on the shoulder. "Professor Caredi Bubaji's class, hurry up, we have to part ways here, I have to go to the ancient runes class."

"Oh right... you didn't choose Muggle Studies." Arlin's mind seemed to be in a mess. He grabbed Gal's arm and walked straight in the opposite direction to the Muggle Studies classroom. Cedric He curled his lips and grabbed the two people's collars. "It's okay, Moon, you can go. I will take them to the Muggle Studies classroom."

"Okay, then... keep going." Munn responded, turned around and set off towards his destination, the ancient rune class classroom.

…………

As it turned out, Professor Flitwick became the only victim of the little carnival led by Moon.

It wasn't until he finished his Divination class in the afternoon and returned to the dormitory that Moon learned from Cedric that after arriving in the Muggle Studies classroom (there are many Hufflepuff wizards taking this class), almost all The little wizards of Hufflepuff became very energetic and did not even doze off during the whole lesson.

After thinking about it, this can probably only be attributed to the fact that the little wizards are still young, so even if they stay up late, they can recover quickly with a little sleep.

Of course, on Monday night, everyone went to bed early to rest.On the one hand, this can "recharge" the spirit more, but on the other hand, the two classes tomorrow morning are not suitable for sleeping.

Well... the first period is the Potions class. Anyone who dares to sleep under Professor Snape's nose may lose his life. The second period is the Care of Magical Creatures class. It is held outdoors. Even if you want to sleep, It’s not a big place, and it’s unlikely that many young wizards will want to sleep during this Care of Magical Creatures class.

After all, Professor Kettleburn said that after returning from the Christmas vacation, they should start learning and getting in touch with sniffers.

…………

"Come on, little guys, it's something you're interested in again."

Professor Kettleburn opened his arms widely - this action was obviously a bit difficult for him. There was no way, both of his hands were not intact.Therefore, several of the Nifflers who were embraced by him had to try hard to hug his wooden prosthetic hand to prevent themselves from accidentally falling and being kicked away by Professor Kettleburn.

"Hey, I really don't understand why that old stubborn Dumbledore just won't let me show you the fire dragon in class. Also, what's so obsessed with these gadgets that are all about stealing things? "

The old professor was mumbling and cursing there as always, complaining about Professor Dumbledore's ban on him - but after all, it was just words. In terms of actions, he still naturally sniffed out the sniffers. One after another, he gently placed them in the prepared pen. It seemed that he didn't hate these "little gadgets full of stealing" as much as he said.

Maybe he just loves fire dragons too much.

Seeing each of the weird-looking Sniffs with a strange and cute aura falling into the fence, the little wizards in the class immediately exclaimed in low voices, and many of them even started to get ready to come up. Started sniffing right away.

What surprised everyone even more was that the sniffers all stared at one of the little Gryffindor wizards standing behind Fred and George.

"They seem to like me very much?"

The little Gryffindor lion immediately showed a surprised smile on his face, but just a second later, Professor Kettleburn broke his false illusion with a scold.

"Damn! You idiot! I just said in the last class that these little things are very interested in shiny things! So don't bring your money bags here! Don't bring jewelry and jewelry! Hurry up and put your fingers Take off that ring from your head!"

The little lion's face immediately turned red under the roar of laughter from other students. He pulled off the ring on his left hand and put it into his pocket.

"Change to a more secluded place - forget it, huh... just give that thing to me. I'll give it to you after class." Professor Kettleburn opened the prosthetic leg and strode to the Gryffin Beside Duo, he received his ring into his hand, then returned to the fence, turned around and officially started teaching.

"Now - before these thieves and sniffers find out, if any of you have brought these things that I said you can't bring, hurry up and hide them all. Otherwise, if they dig them out later, then think about it again. It will be a big problem to get it back.”

"So, has anyone previewed them before class? Can anyone tell me what you know about them?"

Cedric was the first to raise his hand.

"Very well, Cedric, just say it." Professor Kettleburn looked at Cedric with interest, "Let's hear it."

After receiving the professor's approval, Cedric cleared his throat, took a step forward, and said loudly: "The Niffler is a magical animal that is very interested in all shiny objects, so some wizards will take advantage of it. They come to search for treasures. But raising Nifflers is not an easy task, because if they are not given enough space to move, they may rummage around in the place where they stay, causing greater damage. Even sneaking away.”

"You're right, that's it." Professor Kettleburn nodded and agreed with Cedric's statement, and then motioned for him to return to the team of young wizards. "There are always some wizards who will capture Sniffs for their own greed." , and then let Xiu Xiu help him find those precious treasures, and even help him steal things. But don’t underestimate these little ghosts. If you don’t become its owner, but just force it to stay with you, If they get the chance, they can cause unimaginable damage."

"Of course, even if you are its owner, it will only be merciful to you - yes, these sniffers are magical animals that recognize their masters very much, and they will always be very docile to their masters. However, very Obviously, Xiu Xiu will be merciful to you, but it does not mean that he will be merciful to your house, your friends, and your family. Therefore, Xiu Xiu is essentially a little guy that is completely unsuitable for raising. If you are unfortunate enough to raise it, If you get one, I can only hope that you have enough gold galleons to repair the house."

Professor Kettleburn took two steps around the fence, and then said loudly: "That's about it. Does anyone else have anything to share with us?"

Lee Jordan also raised his hand. After Professor Kettleburn nodded, he immediately said hurriedly: "I heard from senior friends that although sniffers seem harmless, they are still somewhat aggressive. ...Um, they seem to bite?"

"Ha! Mr. Jordan, right? Unfortunately, there is no definite statement about this matter yet." Professor Kettleburn waved his wooden prosthetic hand. "At least I have never seen anyone bite." Sniffing. However, the courage to share is still good. Where are the others? Are they gone?"

Kelly, who had unknowingly grown her hair into short braids, took a step forward and said proactively: "It seems like fairies use sniffers to dig for treasures?"

"That's right! Very good!" Professor Kettleburn's eyes lit up and he began to denounce the goblins. "Ha, those greedy guys, just like Miss Woodman said, the goblins will feed and use sniffers. Niffler comes to help them find treasures. However, the goblins' methods of controlling Niffler are never gentle. To be precise, they are not gentle to all creatures except wizards."

"And, believe me, if given the chance, they will never be gentle to wizards."

As he spoke, Professor Kettleburn grabbed a Niffler from the enclosure, held the smaller little guy in his hands, and let it sniff around, "Spell! Whip! Imprisonment! Even It's using cubs as a threat! Gentlemen! Ladies! This is the method most goblins use to control Sniff, and they do whatever they can! For them, Sniff is not a 'pet', but a tool. !”

Next, for nearly three minutes, Professor Kettleburn almost talked about how goblins used various magical animals to make profits for themselves, and how they illegally harmed these magical animals, even causing harm to them. Damage to various magical animal populations…

It wasn't until he was finally satisfied that Professor Kettleburn finally brought the topic back to the classroom.

"Anyway, very good, Miss Woodman. Ten points for Hufflepuff, for Mr. Diggory and Miss Woodman, and as for Gryffindor... well, although Mr. Jordan gave out a piece of information that was probably wrong. But this is indeed a message, so five points for Gryffindor!"

"Now, please come to the fence and try to contact the sniffers through the fence. But! You are not allowed to catch the sniffers out of the fence, and you are not allowed to grab, pinch, pinch, etc. in any way that may harm the sniffers. Sniff our actions that cause harm!”

The professor returned the sniffer in his hand to the fence, and then called all the little wizards over. "In addition, I will warn you one last time, if you have any jewelry or jewelry visible to the naked eye, , as for coins, put them all away now, immediately!"

"Remember what I said - you can start touching and sniffing now."

Following Professor Kettleburn's order, the little wizards immediately surrounded the fence with gleaming eyes.However, these Nifflers were not afraid of people at all. After the little wizards put their hands into the fence, they actually came over and started sniffing Nifflers around everyone's hands, and then started to rub against them.It made many little witches giggle, and even the boys immediately became happy.

Moon also encountered a Sniff that was quite curious about him. The little guy first sniffed Munn's fingertips twice, then rubbed the edge of Munn's palm, and finally hugged Muen directly. En's palm, he began to look at Mun's nails curiously.

This kind of style made Snowball appear in Moon's mind - the two little guys expressed their closeness in exactly the same way, very similar.It's just that when Snowball hugs his hand, he will nibble on it twice, but this Sniff will just keep staring at his fingers.

For most of the next class, they were almost trying to establish initial contact with the Sniffers and let them accept them.It wasn't until there were about 10 minutes left before the end of get out of class that Professor Kettleburn called them away from the fence, then dug out a bag of gold coins from somewhere and distributed two to everyone.

"Hey, come to class and get a gold gallona?" Yaerlin was so happy that he took the gold coin and looked at it twice, and then suddenly he was startled, "Huh? Is there something wrong with the pattern on it?"

While recalling the wonderful touch brought by sniffing the soft down on his body, Munn smiled and said to Yaerlin: "You are overthinking, this is not a gold galleon, but a leprechaun's gold coin, with magic on it." There is magic, and it will disappear on its own after a while."

"Ah... okay..." Yaerlin's expression immediately changed from excitement to disappointment. Not only him, but also several young wizards around him seemed to have similar emotional changes.

Cedric said, dumbfounded: "Even if these are real gold galleons, they will definitely have to be returned to Professor Kettleburn when they are used up. Besides, it's not like there hasn't been a school newspaper in the past few years. With dividends, you won’t be short of money to spend.”

"It's okay if you can touch it in your hand for a while." Yaerlin muttered, "Who doesn't like gold coins that can be obtained for free."

While the little wizards were talking about the gold coins handed out, Professor Kettleburn finally finished distributing them and said loudly: "Collect your messy thoughts. These are the gold coins of the little leprechauns. They will be distributed soon." Disappear and send it to you for other purposes - now, take your gold coins and listen to me."

"In order for you to better establish some basic relationships with the Sniffs, I need you to take these leprechaun gold coins, go to the fence, and give the gold coins to the Sniffs. But remember, no matter which one it is, Xiu Xiu came and took away your gold coins. You can't fight with them. You want to leave the gold coins to Xiu Xiu who touched you before. Do you understand? As long as a Xiu Xiu comes to take it, you must hand it over."

The little wizards responded loudly, "Got it." Then, when Professor Kettleburn gave the order again, everyone rushed to the fence again, scrambling to hand over their gold coins.

It seemed that Professor Kettleburn was simply overthinking it. The little wizards had almost no idea of ​​"which sniffer should give the gold coins to?". Instead, they seemed to be afraid that their gold coins would not be given away, and one of them stretched his arms. longer than one.

Moon twirled the gold coins, finally found an empty spot, and stretched out his hand as well.In the end, in less than two seconds, the Xiu Xiu who had rubbed his hand earlier used his paw to push away two of his kin who were aiming at the gold coin in Munn's hand. He jumped up to Munn with his head held high and probed with both claws. , took away the gold coin belonging to Munn.

"Good guy, you are still a little bully." Munn couldn't help but laugh, and he didn't know if Xiuxiu understood what Munn meant. He raised his paw and patted Munn's finger that had not been withdrawn. Then he thrust hard at the other sniffer pouting next to him, and then turned the other sniffer over.

The innocent Sniff was rolled on the ground. When he sat down again, his little eyes were filled with confusion.

Chapter 71 is now part of the Duel Club package

During the herbalism class on Wednesday morning, Professor Sprout walked into the greenhouse with a smile on his face and a picture book with a beautiful cover.Behind her, there was a stack of identical albums floating.

"Good morning, classmates." After arriving at the podium, the professor waved his wand lightly, controlling the pile of picture albums to fall to his feet temporarily, and then said happily: "Tomorrow morning, Violet and I will finish the work together. The book "Pomona Sprout and Her Herbal Journey: Volume [-]" will be officially sold in bookstores."

Most of the little wizards in the class had already heard about this incident, so everyone was not too surprised by this. Instead, they all gave Professor Sprout a blessing and applause.Milton even shouted loudly in the audience: "Which bookstore will it be sold in? Professor! I will write a letter to reserve it later!"

Professor Pomona smiled and waved her hand, "No, I'm very happy that you have this intention - actually, I originally wanted to announce this with Violet, but she asked for leave. The publishing house really can’t delay it, so I have to tell the students about it today.”

As he spoke, the professor tapped the picture albums stacked next to him with his wand, and then the picture albums automatically floated up one after another and flew to each little wizard's desk.

"During the creation process, Violet helped me draw every illustration in the album. We discussed it and decided to have a little wizard figure demonstrate all the operation examples. Therefore, Violet When Lite was creating, she used classmates from our grade as blueprints to complete her creation."

At this time, some of the little wizards began to exclaim, because many of them could not help but open the picture album and discovered the pictures in it.

"Gall! Look! This should be you!"

"I found Milton!"

"And Moon!" Alma pointed to one of the pages, then glanced down, paused, and then said: "Uh, and Violet!"

Kelly, who was standing not far behind her, smiled and patted the table, "We can talk about it together next time, Alma."

Seeing many classmates looking over, with narrow smiles on their faces, Moon had no choice but to lift up her picture album to cover her face, "Look carefully at your picture album! Look at what I'm doing!"

Compared to other little wizards, Demi is obviously more keen on this matter.After discovering that the images of Moon and Violet were always next to each other, she quickly turned back the page.Therefore, as soon as Munn finished speaking, she immediately shouted loudly in fear of chaos in the world: "Look at the last article in the album! The page about the mistletoe!"

"..." Munn sensed that something was wrong, and quickly planned to lean down and pretend to tie his shoelaces - at least hide for 2 minutes first.

But what he didn't expect was that before he could make any move, Professor Sprout had already walked up behind him and patted him on the shoulder.

Due to such a delay, Moon had obviously missed the best time to escape.The next moment, all the little wizards in the greenhouse turned around, looked at Munn and said "Oh~~~~".

But in the blink of an eye, Moon's face turned as red as a monkey's butt.

He picked up the picture album he had just put down and held it in front of him again. Then he turned around and looked at Professor Sprout who was still standing behind him.Unexpectedly, Professor Sprout was looking at him and winked at him.

"You must know how to grasp beautiful things. Beautiful flowers may not always remain in full bloom."

Before Moon could react to this deliberately lowered voice, Professor Sprout turned around and walked back to the podium as if nothing was wrong.

"It seems that everyone has already looked through the album. As I said before, many of the example pictures in the album are based on you. Therefore, before the official sale starts tomorrow, I would like to ask the publisher for I bought a batch of printed picture albums and gave them to everyone, as a thank you to everyone, and at the same time, I am very happy to complete your Herbology class at Hogwarts with you."

Just like that, when the Herbology class was over, the fourth-year Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw wizards each had a picture album in hand and continued to discuss the contents in the album.Of course, it is a bit of a pity for the little wizards in Ravenclaw, because the little wizards drawn in the album are mainly Hufflepuffs, and there are very few little wizards from the other three houses.

However, as a Ravenclaw who takes Herbology class with Hufflepuff, compared to the remaining Gryffindors and Slytherins, the probability of people in their class appearing in the picture album is still slightly better.

After lunch, it was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class in the afternoon - after a whole lunch of teasing, the friends finally gave up and continued teasing Moon.Although they are still very enthusiastic about the picture book, this enthusiasm has transferred to recommending the picture book to young wizards in other houses and other grades.

It is conceivable that in less than two days, Moon will once again become the object of ridicule among the little wizards in the school.

After all, Munn didn’t think that his friends would give up talking about Munn and Violet’s “Mistletoe Appointment” when recommending the album to others - this was what Cedric chose for the last picture. name.

In the Transfiguration class, Professor McGonagall began to teach them about cross-species transformation, which is to transform one living creature into another completely different living creature.According to Professor McGonagall, after they understand a little bit about this, they will enter the next stage, which is the practical application of cross-species conversion: turning guinea fowl into guinea pigs.

"Okay, let me see, there is another Transfiguration class tomorrow...but the homework can be assigned today. Everyone, before the Transfiguration class next Wednesday, please each hand in a half-foot-long The title of the paper is 'On the difficulties and constraints of cross-species conversion'. If anyone fails to turn in the assignment on time, you should know the consequences."

Professor McGonagall pursed her lips and waved her hand, "Okay, get out of class is over."

The little wizards left the classroom dejectedly. They thought there would be no homework in the first week of school, and they wanted to take advantage of the weekend to relax.Unexpectedly, Professor McGonagall still gave them a piece of homework. Although it was not much, I was afraid that this was just the beginning.

After all the other students left the classroom, Moon, who stayed at the end, approached Professor McGonagall who was still sorting out teaching aids. "Ahem, Professor, I have something to ask you for."

"Huh?" Professor McGonagall did not look back, but was still quietly handling her books. "What's the matter?"

"It's about the Duel Club." Moon cleared his throat. "Excluding the half-month of the Christmas holiday, the Duel Club has been officially running for more than three months. So far, there have been no accidents or incidents. Someone was seriously injured in the duel - what do you think?"

Professor McGonagall stacked the books, then leaned against the podium and turned to look at Moon. "Frankly speaking, it exceeded my expectations, Mr. Fox. Although you were quite well restrained in the duel club system before, But in my opinion, it may be difficult for noisy students to strictly abide by those rules. But the fact is, all this does surprise me."

"But." Professor McGonagall raised her eyebrows, "This does not mean that I will allow you to make some excessive requests."

"I think my request is not too much, Professor." Moon breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Professor McGonagall would not relent at all. "I just hope that you can agree to slightly relax the dueling club's spellcasting range." Due to the restrictions, I hope students can use transformation in duels."
