"It's a great harvest!" Tom's fat Sniff was very conscious. Before Tom could lift it up, he took out his belly pocket and took out three rings, a necklace and two pairs of earrings.
Tom picked up these golden jewelry and found that there was just a layer of gold foil on the surface. He scratched it a little with his fingernails and found that the material inside was either silver or copper, which was not a particularly precious metal. No wonder New Zealand
I was so willing to stuff them all into the ground that I couldn't even count them.
Tom stroked Xiu Xiu's meaty head and was very satisfied with its performance.
"It's time, let me see how you are doing. Let me count your jewelry." Newt glanced at the time and found that it was almost the end of get out of class, so he walked up to the students and began to count them. of harvest.
"Currently, Tom Yoder of Ravenclaw and Justin of Hufflepuff are tied for first place, with six pieces of jewelry each." Tom met the most humane Niffler here, and took the initiative
After handing over his harvest, Justin Finch-Fletchley took out his watch to bribe Xiuxiu, and traded the watch for six pieces of jewelry. After all, it was just an old watch that was inaccurate.
Justin didn't really care either.
The Fat Sniff in front of Tom tilted his head and watched all this. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small ring from his pocket.
"Seven! Mr. Yoder's sniff has set a new record." Seeing this, Newt immediately refreshed the latest record to the little wizards. After repeatedly confirming that no one's results were greater than seven, he announced that Tom and his fat
Xiu Xiu won the first prize in one fell swoop.
Although he was very Buddhist about winning and losing at first, it is not a bad thing to win. Tom rubbed his little head of Xiu Xiu to show his pampering, and then stuffed the trinkets on the ground back into Fat Xiu Xiu's arms.
.
Now, both people and Xiu Xiu were very happy, which made Xiu Xiu next to him look extremely jealous.
However, when he touched the last ring that Niffler handed over on his own initiative, Tom noticed something was wrong - the ring was too heavy. He took a closer look and realized that the ring might not have just been buried by Professor Scamander.
of.
A small ring was actually two to three times as heavy as those rings just now. Combined with the traces of time left on the surface of the ring, Tom judged that this ring might be the real treasure that Fat Sniff had dug up!
He calmly held the ring in his hand, then took out a gold galleon from his arms and gave it to Fat Sniff. Fat Sniffing was a little confused, but with the gold galleons in his mouth, he accepted it.
.
Almost no one noticed this small detail.
"Ten points to Ravenclaw, Yodel, this is your prize." Newt gave Tom a bag of "All Beast Candy" as a reward. This candy will make various animal sounds after being eaten.
"Children, please return all the Sniffs," Newt opened the door of the cage, feeling a little nervous. He was a little worried that some of the Sniffs might have escaped and got lost. Twenty-four of them. These were the ones he gave out.
Sniff the number.
The little wizards swarmed forward and handed Newt the Sniffs in their hands and those of their friends.
"Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four...twenty-five???" After the last little wizard handed Newt his Niffler, Newt was dumbfounded: Lend out twenty-four.
Twenty-five came back?
There’s one more!
Xiu Xiu is not a loan, you can earn interest when you lend it out. There is a wild Sniff mixed in here!
It's just that the scene was too chaotic, and all the Sniffers were covered in mud. For a while, Newt couldn't tell which ones were the Sniffers that had sneaked in. He could only put the Sniffers in a cage first, and wait until they came back.
Then check carefully after going to the office.
"Okay, get out of class is over!" Newt waved his hand and hurried away carrying the box.
Tom looked at the bag of colorful candies in his hand and was speechless: Give me candy? This is inconsistent with your status as Newt Scamander, a magizoologist! Tom originally thought that Newt would come up with something related to magical animals.
Things to give as prizes—such as unicorn tail feathers, thunderbird tail feathers, and the like.
"Come on, eat some candy!" The joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of everyone. Tom directly opened the candy bag and let everyone around him have a piece of candy to try. All the animals outside the forbidden forest chirped for a while, ducks, puppies,
Elephants... all kinds of sounds come and go.
Tom himself also ate a piece of candy, and the next moment he let out a roar from his mouth, covering up Hermione's meow.
After the lively distribution of sweets, the little wizards gradually dispersed, leaving only Hermione and Tom behind.
"There's still some time before the next class, would you like to find a place to practice the Patronus Charm?" Hermione made a good suggestion.
"Ji-ji-"
"Hey, you-"
"Cuckoo!"
"Hmph, hum——"
Tom ate several candies at once, and various animal sounds came out of his mouth one after another.
Hermione now understood what "chicken talk" meant, so she had no choice but to drag Tom directly towards the greenhouse outside the castle. The next class was Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, and the greenhouse area was always quiet, so
Classes will not be delayed, and no one will disturb them from practicing the Patronus Charm.
"I, Hermione Granger, swear to God, I will teach you the Patronus Charm!" Something seemed to stimulate Hermione, and she suddenly swore as she walked.
Tom:?
"The Patronus Charm needs to be based on happy memories to be successfully released." Hermione looked at Tom seriously, "I don't quite understand... I recalled our past and summoned the Patronus at once.
Yes. But when it comes to you...how could it be..."
She did not continue.
But the meaning is already obvious: isn’t my experience with you happy enough?
Tom:!
He wanted to explain something, but in the face of the facts, his words were too weak and pale.
Tom trembled, "I will definitely summon the patron saint!" he promised, patting his chest.
[Random mission trigger: Successfully summon the patron saint
Mission reward: Hermione skin (cat) unlocked]
Another unexpected ecstasy! Tom's already very determined idea became even stronger.
Outside the greenhouse, Tom took out his wand and carefully recalled the happy scenes in his mind.
"Calling God to protect you!" He felt a heat rippling in his chest, and the sweet taste was sweeter than honey.
At the moment when the magic was released, Tom felt that this time the Patronus Charm was absolutely certain, but what he didn't expect was that this time, what came out of the tip of the wand was still a ball of silver mist.
Hermione:......
Tom:?
Shouldn’t it? I was very confident just now?
Tom looked at the silver mist that gradually dissipated and was confused.
