A day at Hogwarts

The weather is getting warmer, all the ice floes in the big lakes have melted, and the spring breeze has brought a little greenery to the earth.

The heir of Slytherin hadn't appeared for a long time, and no one had seen the giant jellyfish in the girls' bathroom again. Everyone thought it was eaten by the giant squid in the lake, and the campus was filled with laughter again.

The weather was rarely sunny on Saturday, and the Quidditch pitch was packed with people. Charles also took out his broomstick, installed the rocket nest, loaded up the ammunition, and it was time for cleaning.

Acromantulas had just ended their hibernation and were crawling out of the ground one after another. The soil stuck to their bodies had not yet fallen off. They gathered in a place with few trees and lay down in the sun, as if to dispel the cold remaining in their bodies in winter.

When the weather gets warmer, it will be their mating season.

A bolide streaked across the treetops and sprinkled light rain. Wherever the light fell, a green "X" appeared on the body of the Acromantula.

Then a rainbow fell from the sky and jumped from one Acromantula to another.

Charles did not dare to practice the combination of Avada Kedavra and Confusion Curse in the castle, but the Forbidden Forest was full of ready-made targets.

Now that the Acromantulas haven't started building nests and laying eggs, we can save the rockets from licking the ground and gather them more while they are basking in the sun for practice.

Before leaving, Charles cast a marking spell next to the spider corpse. After a while, four working elves came. They were wearing fitted gray work clothes, steel helmets, yellow and blue vests, and a pair of elves pinned to their waists. A kitchen knife and a backpack on his back.

Some of the working elves removed the legs from the Acromantula corpses and put them into backpacks to take away, while others took the venom and fangs, not sparing any useful materials.

The order for fifty thousand galleons was signed, and Charles asked Dumbledore to keep his eyes open, so Dobby rented a corner of the Hogwarts kitchen. Tonight, he would serve spider leg meatballs in clear soup, fried spider legs with black pepper, Grilled original spider legs will appear in the Gryffindor common room before a group of brave mice.

There was no way, the market within Hogwarts was too small to support eight working elves and one capitalist, so they had to find ways to develop business.

One of the wandering elves Dobby found from Sherwood Forest was a good cook, and some had the magic to preserve food, so Charles came up with the idea of ​​running a prepared dish business.

Now Dobby looks very energetic, directing his seven employees to be busy and talking much louder than before. Yesterday, he even took the initiative to negotiate for his first business: the cleaning and repair service of the Pig's Head Bar.

But Dobby seemed to have forgotten a lot of things. Charles made many insinuations. His memory of Harry was limited to hearing the name "Harry Potter", and his words were as unfamiliar as Hagrid's dog.

Charles couldn't do anything about it. Dumbledore couldn't do anything to him, let alone himself.

The lake near the centaurs tribe was very lively today, with a group of half-year-old children competing to throw stones there.

Everyone recognized the two-legged brother. Charles had just landed on his broomstick and Twilight was the first to run over.

"Well, you've grown taller!" she said, stretching out her hand in front of her and making gestures.

Charles smiled and said, "I haven't seen you for a whole winter, and you've grown taller too."

Twilight said proudly: "My strength is stronger than before!"

She bent her hands and showed off her biceps, which were more developed than other girls.

Then the centaur girl said very depressedly: "But I still couldn't beat Uncle Ronan when I threw stones. He kept giving way to me, but he was always just a little farther than me."

Charles smiled and took out the candy candles, gave one to her, distributed it to other centaurs and taught them how to eat it.

While he was talking, the great elder of the centaurs came over with a large group of adult centaurs, and they all greeted Charles.

When the elder saw Charles, he patted him on the shoulder and said, "Not bad, he has grown taller again."

"It's great to see you in such good spirits," said Charles.

After a while of greetings, the great elder pointed to the withered grass under his feet that had been frozen all winter and said, "It's time to start."

Today, the lakeside is different from the past. Last year, Charles dug a trench more than one meter wide in the grass to draw water from the lake, dividing the ground into pieces like petals. Pumpkins will grow on these plots in turn.

What we have to do today is to burn all the grass on the land under our feet, and then the centaurs will step on the plant ash and grass roots into the moist soil. On the spring equinox, a pumpkin seed throwing competition will be held here. In the fall, there will be pumpkins to eat. .

Charles stood upwind and prepared to light the fire. The centaurs were ready to stamp out any sparks that flew out of range.

The dry grass quickly burned, and the rising smoke distracted the Seekers above the Quidditch pitch and allowed the Golden Snitch to escape.

Hogwarts had already received the report from the Grand Elder, so it didn't cause much commotion.

By the lake, Charles chatted with the great elder.

"Here," the Great Elder handed a roll of parchment to Charles, "your reward."

Charles curled his lips, and it was the curse left by the old man again.

He opened it and read it again, then fell silent.

This is the magic spell that allows people to fly without relying on tools. It looks good, but the visual effect is not good. There is a black smoke trailing behind it, or the whole person turns into black smoke. You can tell at a glance that it is the villain.

If it were a similar magic spell from the East, the smoke would be white and full of fairy spirit. No special effects would be needed in the filming of "Journey to the West".

But Charles was glad that the old man didn't change it into a rainbow cat for him, otherwise he would have become a rainbow cat.

I have put aside this curse for the time being. Now I have a flying broomstick. One flying car and motorcycle are in the garage and the other is in production. I can also apparate. The door keys I made can also be used. This curse can be used in emergencies. time to use.

Then he asked the great elder: "Are you familiar with the Forbidden Forest and the mountainous area north of the castle?"

The upcoming extracurricular teaching of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class is to go north, through a forbidden forest, to the mountains, and then circle back.

The great elder shook his head and said: "We rarely go there. There are many caves in that place, which were used by wizards many years ago, and there are also residences of mountain trolls. Now there are spiny-back spiders living there. We can only collect herbs. Let the strongest warrior pass.”

Charles nodded slightly after hearing this. There were many mines and tombs there, and they were full of mechanisms. The old man had already explored them once when he was in school, and they were basically abandoned. The residents of Hogsmeade would not go to that place.

The great elder continued: "When you go to the mountains, be careful of giant monsters. They are very powerful. They will hide and hit rocks from a distance. If they are hit, they will run over with thick wooden sticks. We all just hit them when we see them." Stay away."

"Don't turn over the rocks in the mountains, there may be snakes hidden underneath..."

Charles listened very carefully, these were life-saving details.
