A day at Hogwarts

At Hogwarts, a storm of owls swept through the dining hall at breakfast, and students and professors took down letters and the Daily Prophet.

After a while, the cafeteria seemed to turn into a beehive, and various discussions intertwined into a buzzing sound. The news from Africa made everyone unbelievable.

Rita Skeeter interviewed Charles and then interviewed Bell, Fleur and some of the parties. After showing Charles and Moody, she rushed back to England overnight, and finally caught up with today's "Daily Prophet" printing.

"Boom!"

The sound of the water glass falling on the table was ignored in the noisy cafeteria. Professor McGonagall's hand holding the newspaper and the other free hand were shaking so badly that he didn't even notice that his robe was wet with pumpkin juice.

Skeeter’s carefully written front-page headline used 20% of the first part to describe how the leopard slaughtered several wizards after the appearance of the leopard, and how Miss Delacour from Beauxbatons made a move for her companions and villagers. Chance attracts hatred with Chinese cabbage sent by a Chinese friend, and then leads the man-eating beast away by himself.

After hanging the reader's concerns about Delacour's situation, Skeeter began to write how Charles, Bell and Ruby came to the camp, and used 3% of the space to describe how Ruby used her tears to detoxify the poisoned people.

The next 50% is how Charles saves Delacour in the nick of time, how he outsmarts the leopard, and finally uses an immature paralyzing spell within two feet when the leopard pounces on him kill it.

Then 25% of the content tells how Bell dealt with Edie, the notorious black wizard "butcher" in Africa, and blew up Edie to death with a large bottle of poison horn beast explosive liquid. Mo Finnigan singled out two poison horned beasts.

The last 1.5% of the news is "Mad-Eye" Moody's positive comments on the matter.

In the second entry on the front page, Skeeter told the life of Edie "The Butcher", this time she improvised, and even Voldemort was silent.

This week's Defense Against the Dark Arts class is all self-study, and everyone writes a fingertip-to-elbow long post-reading report on the news.

Professor McGonagall was terrified. Three Gryffindor names suddenly appeared on the news. Although one had graduated for a few years, the other two were first-year students.

Draco Malfoy was also frightened, holding a letter from the old horse to himself in his trembling hands, asking him to be good to Charles Smith.

This made Malfoy very embarrassed. The two sides had formed a deep hatred because of throwing bugs into the second greenhouse before. This matter was difficult to handle, but it had to be done.

While the pony was thinking about how to resolve the conflict and think about losing his hair, the Gryffindor students began to discuss how to celebrate tonight.

"Charles actually has a phoenix?"

Hermione looked even more unbelievable than Charles killing the leopard, after all, he had just killed the kidnappers just a year ago, before he could use magic.

Harry smirked and said, "Haha, it looks like I will have another job feeding phoenixes this summer, and I have to ask Charles to pay more. But I wonder if the Ministry of Magic will allow him to raise phoenixes in Privet Drive."

Ron muttered in a low voice: "Actually, my family can."

Charles wanted to sneeze at the moment, but held back.

A few of them were not so much hospitalized as they were protected in the name of hospitalization, and they were more likely to be used as bait.

Now that the Free Hunting Contest has resumed, Charles has been designated as a special prize by default, and Seamus's first prize has not been lost. The organizers had to temporarily increase the prize money and the number of winners, which stabilized the students from other schools.

So Charles and the others had nothing to do. After recovering a bit, Fu Rong took the snacks made by her grandmother in the nearby rented house this morning to the ward opposite.

Moody pointed his wand at the pastry on the table and said, "Oh, it's a flipped banana tart! I had a flipped apple tart in France many years ago, and the first time I saw it, I thought the chef was playing tricks on me."

Now everything Charles eats has to be checked by Moody, and he can only eat it after being checked by spells such as the Scarpin Appearance Charm and other spells.

Fu Rong didn't care, and the same was true for her side.

After checking that the snacks were all right, Moody put on a scary grin on his ugly face and said to Fleur, "They're not free right now."

Now Charles is sitting on the sofa drawing with a drawing board, and Ruby is watching curiously.

Fleur was also curious, and sat lightly on the other side of Charles to see what was being drawn.

Charles felt that being idle was also idle, so he picked up a brush to practice sketching, and the animal he was drawing now could be seen as a ruby ​​from its size.

After he finished drawing, he took out his wand and cast a spell. The tail of the phoenix on the drawing paper fluttered in a small area, looking decent.

Only then did Fu Rong ask him in surprise, "You know how to draw?"

Charles replied modestly: "If you know a little bit, you can at least see what the painting is about."

Then he asked Fu Rong: "How does your body feel now?"

Fu Rong replied: "I feel much better after the rest, and I will fully recover after a day or two of rest."

After finishing speaking, she brought over the flipped banana tart, cut it and distributed it to Charles, Ruby and Moody, then sat beside Charles and asked him curiously: "Do you know what this is?"

Charles took a sip with a spoon and said, "Of course I know, I ate apples when I was traveling in France."

"Ordinary fruit tarts are filled with a crispy crust like a shallow dish. I have heard that the flipped tart was born by accident. It is said that the inventor made a mistake when making an apple tart, cooking apples in sugar and butter. It took too long to cook the sugar into caramel. If there was not enough time, just put the tart skin on top and put it in the oven to bake. After baking, flip it out of the plate. The final dessert filling is outside the tart skin , I didn’t expect it to be praised by guests.”

He took another bite, nodded in praise and said, "There are quite a lot of bananas here. They can be used instead of apples, and they taste delicious."

Fu Rong sighed, "I really can't trouble you."

Charles smiled, and subconsciously leaned towards Fleur, because this guy Ruby wanted to eat his after eating his share.

Seeing this, Fu Rong reached out and touched Ruby's head, and said, "Can I bring you some more tomorrow?"

Ruby nodded.

Then Fleur said to Charles: "I heard that the International Federation of Wizards and the Ministry of Magic of several countries are going to give us awards."

That's when Moody said, "Wear sturdy clothes for awards."

Charles asked suspiciously, "Why?"

Fu Rong's blue eyes were also full of question marks.

Moody was still very friendly to the young people, joked with them, just laughed without saying a word.
