Hogwarts Reading Days

As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, Albert saw a black figure running past his feet, which startled him. He thought that Tom was going to sneak out when the door opened, so he instinctively put his hand into his pocket Here, he was about to take out his wand to summon Tom back, but found a fluffy thing rubbing against his ankle.

"Okay, let's go get you lunch."

Albert bent down to pick up Tom, and raised his foot to close the door.

He opened the drawer, which was full of cat food and cat cans, reached out and pushed Tom's head away, took a can of cat food from it, opened it and mixed it with cat food and put it in a bowl.Then, with a flick of his wand, he emptied the other bowl and replaced it with a new one.

"It seems that I have to ask how other people keep cats in school." Albert waited for Tom to finish eating, then picked it up, turned the weight, and it was still as heavy as ever.

"It's time for you to lose weight. Let's go and take you to the common room, which will be your activity space for a long time."

After Tom is familiar with the dormitory, Albert will let him move around in the Gryffindor common room, and then slowly expand the space for activities, so that he can gradually get familiar with the environment of the castle, get in touch with more students, and distinguish others. Treat its good and evil, so as not to suffer later.

There were not many people in the Gryffindor common room at noon, Albert found an empty seat and sat down, took out his pocket watch from his pocket to check the time, and prepared to let Tom move around in the common room under his surveillance , but he soon discovered that his cat didn't seem to intend to wander around, but jumped onto the table next to Albert, and just lay down there and took a nap.

"Sleep when you're full, you're really good at it!"

Albert raised his hand and rubbed Tom's head, sighed softly, "If you don't exercise, you will be fat into a ball."

Someone next to him was covering his mouth and chuckling, looking at the fat cat curiously, and whispering in a low voice.Albert turned his head and looked, and it was two young girls who were talking, and he didn't know them.

Well, it should be a freshman in the first and second grades. The other party noticed that Albert turned his head and looked over. He was also a little embarrassed, and quickly turned and walked away.

Albert retracted his gaze, took out a cat teasing stick from his pocket, and tried to make his cat move.

After staying in the common room for nearly an hour, Albert sent Tom back to the dormitory again, and then used the time converter to go back to an hour ago.

He went directly to the school library, only to find that Fred, George, and Lee Jordan hadn't arrived yet, and now he took the place for the three of them instead.

Not long after, the three entered the library one after another, still surprised that Albert arrived at the library one step ahead of them.

On the first day of school, the school library was still full as always, and a bunch of people were rushing to do their holiday homework.

Fred was still a little gloating about this incident, and he completely forgot that he was once a member of it.

In the afternoon, the first class was the Protection of Magical Creatures class, which was held in an open space on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Professor Kettlebo's reputation in the school was very good, and there were quite a few students who applied for this class.

The elderly professor has been teaching at the school for many years, and he knows exactly how to arouse students' interest in the protection of magical animals.

With the help of Hagrid, Professor Kettleber prepared a bonfire for everyone, and told them about the salamanders inside, and knowing about salamanders is the content of today.

Everyone sat around the bonfire, observed the salamanders in the bonfire, and listened to Professor Ketelber's explanation of the amazing animal called the salamander.

The way of teaching is very interesting, and everyone's interest is immediately aroused.

Professor Kettlebo pointed to the salamanders in the bonfire with a branch and told everyone: Salamanders are born in flames and feed on flames.As long as the bonfire in front of them is not extinguished, they will continue to live.

"What if the flames go out?" asked a Ravenclaw girl, raising her hand.

"After leaving the flame, the salamander dies very quickly."

"Aren't they too pitiful?"

Sooner or later, the campfire will go out, which means that the salamanders in the campfire will die soon.

Professor Ketelber raised his hand and pressed down, motioning for everyone to be quiet.

"If you feed the salamanders who leave the flames with the right amount of chili powder regularly, you can delay their death, but they can only live for six hours at most." He said to everyone, "I will kill the salamanders here after the bonfire goes out. Take them back, and they usually require a wizard to create a special environment in order to survive forever."

This Albert knew, because salamanders represent the number 6 in the rune alphabet.

"Of course, when you feed the salamanders paprika, you can't feed too much." Professor Kettlebo demonstrated why you can't feed the salamanders too much paprika.

The skin of the salamanders that ate a lot of chili powder will become more colorful, and they will continue to spit out sparks from their mouths, setting Professor Kettlebo's white beard on fire.

"That's it, you need to feed chili powder every 10 minutes." Professor Kettlebo patted off the sparks on his beard and threw the salamander back into the campfire. "By the way, let the salamander live at room temperature." One hour is one of the exam questions at the end of each year."

In the following time, Professor Kettlebo asked everyone to go to the edge of the forest to collect firewood and leaves to make the fire burn more vigorously, so as to observe the color changes of the salamanders.

The color of the salamander will change with the heat of the flame. If the flame temperature is high, it will tend to blue. If the flame temperature is low, it will gradually appear bright red. At room temperature, it will be bright orange red. .

Watching the salamanders jumping around in the crackling firewood, everyone thought it was an interesting lesson.

Albert used his magic wand to fish out a salamander from the bonfire. After leaving the flame, its skin immediately turned bright orange red, and it was still a little hot in the palm of his hand.

Fred and the others immediately leaned over to observe the salamander's reaction, and felt that its body was burning with flames.

The salamander quickly broke free from Albert's grasp, fell to the ground and wanted to run into the bonfire, but Fred caught it by the tail.

The poor salamander escaped with its tail cut off, and soon disappeared into the campfire.

Fred looked at the writhing lizard tail in his hand, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Hey, did the scales of a salamander rot, and it lost its tail." Professor Kettlebo said in surprise when he saw the tail in Fred's hand.

The latter had a bit of embarrassment on his face. The salamander's tail loss obviously had nothing to do with the rotten scales.

"Salamanders, like dragons, may have rotten scales. Once the scales are rotten, they will lose their tails. If you raise salamanders and encounter this situation again, you only need to rub some chili powder on it for treatment That's enough." Professor Kettlebo said to the students who were talking and laughing: "Why don't you write it down?"

"Sir, is there anything special about salamanders?" Fred threw away the tail and changed the subject. "I mean why wizards keep them."

"Salamander blood has strong healing and healing functions, and can also be used to make a variety of potions. This is one of the reasons why wizards raise salamanders." Professor Ketelber explained.

"How do we get blood from salamanders?" Albert asked, "They don't look like they have a lot of blood on them."

"Very well, this is supposed to be something you will learn next year. Of course, if you want to know." Professor Kettlebur waved his wand, and a salamander flew out of the fire and landed on him hands.

"As we said earlier, salamanders will die soon after they leave the flame, so the speed of blood collection must be fast enough." Professor Kettlebo took out a knife and a test tube, and showed everyone how to get blood from the fire. Blood from lizards.

The method is very simple, that is, cut a knife at the position where the salamander's hind feet are close to the tail, and then lick it from head to tail like milking a cow.

That's right, it's that simple and rude.

As for hemostasis?

Well, salamander blood has strong healing powers, and it won't take long for wounds to heal on their own.

"The strength must be moderate, otherwise it will cause the salamander's internal organs to rupture. Although this will not kill them, it will make the salamander very uncomfortable." Professor Kettlebo threw the salamander back into the bonfire after taking the blood, and continued. , "It is best to wear gloves when taking blood, otherwise you may be burned."

"Of course, if you need salamander blood, you can buy it at the pharmacy. A small bottle costs ten Sikes."

"..." George didn't know what to mutter.

"Salamanders are easy to raise. The only problem is that the process of taking blood is complicated. Many wizards are not willing to do this job. However, the blood of salamanders is used in many places." Professor Kettlebo said. Worried, he motioned everyone to continue to observe the salamanders, preferably to observe how they eat.

Fred and George wanted to "rescue" the salamander from the protection of magical creatures class, Albert scoffed at this, how could he not know Fred's character, so he simply refused to help them make bottles and can Blue flame in a bottle.

In the end, the twins had no choice but to give up and take the salamander away. It wouldn't live long at all.

"We just want a salamander," Fred muttered. "You have cats, and Lee Jordan has spiders. We don't have our own pet yet."

"I don't think Snape would want you to bring that thing into the Potions classroom." Albert reminded, "Also, what do you want to feed it?"

"We just wanted to see what would happen if the salamanders were given Falbar fireworks." George blinked and said honestly.Fred's words can't fool Albert at all.

"That's a good idea." Li Qiaodan's eyes lit up, and he agreed, "We can try it with a salamander next time."
