After the Christmas vacation, Hogwarts has resumed its normal course schedule. To make matters worse, the Scottish Highlands have recently experienced a cold wave, and the weather has suddenly turned cold - not dry and cold, but wet and cold. This wet air is almost like a
It was as if it was possessed by magic, and it easily penetrated the defenses of the little wizards.
The seats next to the fireplace suddenly became popular. Senior students from various colleges also gave full play to their subjective initiative and created various "jar fires" to help everyone ward off the cold.
Once this magical application of magic was invented, it quickly became popular. During this period, wherever the little wizards of Hogwarts went, they would carry a small jar with a burning flame in their robes.
Tom also has a "jar fire" that Hermione helped him make. This little magic spell Hermione used when she first went to school, and now she is even more proficient in it. The fire ball she conjured lasts the longest, and a ball of fire burns the entire body.
Morning is not a problem.
However, in this weather, even with the blessing of "jar fire", it is extremely painful to go to class outside the castle. The herbal medicine class is okay, the temperature in the greenhouse is not much different from that indoors, but the Care of Magical Creatures class is quite painful.
Fortunately, Newt noticed this and changed the teaching plan, scheduling the lessons on salamanders and ash snakes in the days after Christmas.
These two magical animals have one thing in common: a connection with fire.
Salamanders are small lizards that live in flames and use flames as food. Newt only needs to light a bonfire and move his own salamanders into it. Then he doesn't have to do anything but have fun.
Hehehe watched the little wizards collecting firewood and fallen leaves everywhere, watching them add these things to the campfire. He also had to pick out those branches that were too wet to avoid causing too much smoke.
The little wizards were very interested in these little creatures and spent the whole class watching them jumping around in the burning firewood. After they heated up the fire, the color of the salamanders would change with the temperature of the flames.
It starts out dazzling white, then turns blue or bright red.
The Ash Snake's course is much more dangerous, which is why Newt has the confidence to offer this course. The Ash Snake was born from "magic fire". The so-called "magic fire" is the flame added with magic substances such as floo powder.
.
It is not difficult to give birth to the Ash Snake. As long as the magic fire is allowed to burn unchecked, the Ash Snake will be created. This process is quite tiring. Before the start of the Ash Snake course, Newt endured a
Stayed all night to get ready.
Among the various magical substances for breeding fire-ash snakes, Floo powder is the cheapest, so Newt also chose Floo powder. He first found a large fire pit, and then he spent the whole night adding firewood and
Floo fans, by the time class begins, the Ash Snake is about to be born.
Newt wanted every young wizard to witness the birth of the Ash Serpent, but he overestimated his own energy: he was too old, and his energy and physical strength could not support the early preparations, and he was worried about letting the students
We have to do these things. Demonic fire is very dangerous, and it is also very important to control the timing of the appearance of the ash snake. Only an experienced master of magical animals like him can do it. He doesn't trust students to do it.
So in the end, only the third-year students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff got the opportunity to watch the birth of the Ash Serpent. As for the other students, although Newt said that everyone was welcome to come and observe, there were very few responders. Those students
Either they have classes, or they are too lazy to come down. Between watching the birth of the Ash Snake and sleeping an extra hour in the morning, they choose to sleep a little longer.
Don't blame them for being lazy - there are still light snowflakes in the sky today! When Tom saw this kind of weather when he woke up in the morning, he subconsciously wanted to skip class because it meant standing outside in the snow for two hours. Fire Ash Snake
The danger caused Newt to refuse to teach indoors. Even if it was snowing lightly, he insisted on giving lectures on the lawn outside the castle.
Tom and Hermione followed their classmates to the lawn outside the castle. Everyone was wrapped in thick cloaks, wearing gloves, and holding a jar of fire in their arms. In order to keep warm, the girls gave up their usual sneakers and
They put on their square-top leather shoes and put on the boots that they had prepared a long time ago to prevent the cold air from the ground from eroding their pink and tender feet.
When they arrived, Newt was already standing in the snow.
When everyone saw Newt, they were shocked by the professor's state: he looked very haggard. His hair became disheveled, with a lot of charcoal ash and burnt hair hanging on it. His eyes were bloodshot,
The cheeks are sunken and there is a smoky feeling on the skin.
"It takes a lot of energy to artificially breed fire ash snakes. You are lucky, because I probably won't try to breed this magical animal again. It's too tiring..." Newt smiled bitterly and shook his head.
His gray hair was swaying in the wind, and he explained to the students why he was so haggard.
At this time, Hufflepuff students also came over one after another, but in the crowd, Tom saw a familiar figure who should not be here.
"Luna? Why are you here? Don't you have classes in the morning?" Tom was a little surprised, but thinking of Luna's love for magical animals, he felt that it was normal to see Luna here.
"There are two Potions classes in the morning." Luna looked a little dazed, as if she hadn't slept well.
Tom:!
Students around who heard the conversation between the two: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ
Everyone was shocked by Luna: Is this school girl so brave? Dare to skip Snape's class?
Many people looked at Luna with awe in their eyes. Dare to skip Snape's class, warrior!
"The appearance of the ash snake and the process of laying eggs are very rare. I don't want to miss it." Luna explained a little. For her, some things can be made. And she felt that even if she lost her eggs today,
Potions class will not have any serious consequences.
At this time, the students were almost here. Professor Scamander clapped his hands and asked everyone to calm down. "Children, I took you to observe salamanders in the last class, and I left you with homework to preview the ash snake."
…I believe many of you have guessed that the magical animal we are going to learn today is the Fire Ash Snake. The lesson about the Fire Ash Snake is very dangerous, so I hope you can cheer up during the class.”
"Today's Care of Magical Creatures class has a special guest, let's welcome Professor Snape!"
