Aini reluctantly put down the handout and clicked on the little heads of the new pendants one by one.
A dozen Cornish elves with sawdust still stuck to their bodies hugged him tightly, with happiness written all over their small but delicate faces.
φ(\u0026gt;w\u0026lt;*)"Yajiaji~"
"Sorry, please remember the key points I talked about before, and then start practicing when I come back."
After apologizing to the students, Aini repaired the broken wooden door and walked to the opposite classroom.
When he appeared in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with his new look, there was a moment of silence, and then the little wizards burst into laughter uncontrollably.
It is indeed a "dangerous" magical creature!
Professor Scamander can hardly move!
"Really, when I caught them, they resisted very fiercely. You can check out the several ways to capture Cornish elves..."
Lockhart was mumbling in front of the podium as if he were autistic, but he was soon drowned in the laughter of the children.
"Hahaha!"
The classroom is full of joy.
"Cough~"
Aini coughed lightly, raised his right hand and pressed it down.
The chaotic laughter suddenly stopped.
Seeing Ani easily controlling the situation that left him helpless, the flames of jealousy and unwillingness almost burned through his chest.
"Professor Lockhart, how many galleons did these elves cost?"
After the classroom quieted down, Aini asked seemingly casually.
"Seven Galleons and 11 Sickles, that guy Fletcher is really..."
Lockhart replied subconsciously, but then he reacted and quickly made up for it: "Haha, just kidding, I personally caught these elves from England, and it took a lot of effort."
There was a burst of boos from across the podium.
The timing is perfect, but it’s a pity
"Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it would be a crime to sell magical animals privately or hire people to capture them."
Aine still had a gentle smile on her lips, but what she said made Lockhart break out in a cold sweat.
In the UK, wizards are allowed to capture magical creatures that are not on the Ministry of Magic's dangerous list and can use them to raise, breed, sell, etc.
However, there is a prerequisite, which is that it must obtain relevant authorization from the Ministry of Magic.
Otherwise, it is an illegal act, ranging from a fine or a trip to Azkaban for three months, to a serious trip from Azkaban to missing contact...
The rich and powerful among wizards will not allow anyone to touch their cake.
However, with the increasing number of Muggle-born wizards, the Ministry of Magic can no longer keep the lid closed.
There are only two roads in front of us, either to wait for the inevitable riot, or to let it go and allow the growing base of lower-level wizards to take a piece of the pot.
Therefore, today, the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement is becoming more and more lax. It simply turns a blind eye to many things and ignores them unless they are directly hit by the gun.
For example, this kind of hunting of magical animals on behalf of others, usually the guys in the execution department are too lazy to take care of it, but if someone reports it...
Those fines are nothing to Lockhart, but this incident will definitely become a stain on him.
Ani crossed his chest with one arm, and picked off the little guys who were eager to stick to him one by one, and placed them on his horizontal forearms, letting them rub against each other to form a row.
"Professor Lockhart bought them from poachers, did he want to release them?"
Lockhart's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he had made a habitual quibble just now, he also knew that with so many insiders present, it was impossible to get away with it.
Then what Aini said is the only way out.
In one fell swoop, he changed from a culprit who hired people to poach to a virtuous man who rescued suffering creatures, Ness!
"That's right, that's what I think. Can I ask Professor Tuscamander for help? Today's class is quite full, and I really can't get away from it."
After adjusting his mentality, Lockhart showed his iconic smile again, looked at the Smurfs sitting on Aini's arms, and made the optimal solution.
"No problem, I'm happy to do it for you."
Nodding to the little wizards, Aini returned to his classroom holding the Cornish elf on his arm.
He plans to send the little ones to Sylvie after class, hoping that these lively elves can adapt to the environment of the Forbidden Forest.
The little wizards are already used to it when the professor takes a group of blue elves to teach them.
There is always no shortage of accessories for Professor Scamander, not to mention cats, phoenixes, bowtruckles, birds and snakes, the pets brought by children to school often stay around Aini, much to the detriment of their respective owners.<
/p>
As for whose jealousy those little girls are eating, we need to analyze the specific situation...
Curling up in Aini's arms, the panic after being caught was washed away by the reassuring breath lingering around them. The fatigue of the past few days flooded into my heart, and the elves fell asleep one by one.
Aini comforted them with magic power and carefully put them into the nest in his pocket, so that these elves who had left their homes could sleep peacefully.
"Okay, everyone put away the textbooks and let's do some practical exercises."
Aini shook his hands, and the buttons on the corners of the desk floated to the center, returning to their original appearance.
"Ah!"
Seeing the beetle showing its original shape, Patil exclaimed and subconsciously picked up the textbook and took a picture...
Beetle, dead.
After coming to her senses, the girl's cheeks turned red and she stood up awkwardly.
"Ahem. It's okay. Sit down. Here, there are a lot of spares here."
Ani was a little embarrassed. He first turned the beetle into a button and then restored it, not to show off his level of transformation, but to strengthen the confidence of the little wizards——
After seeing this process with their own eyes, they will subconsciously assume that beetles can be transformed.
This is very important for those who are new to biological transformation, especially for young Muggle wizards who have just entered the wizarding world a year ago.
Having received a long-term materialist education, they will instinctively doubt this.
It's not that they still don't believe in magic, it's just that they have a long-standing perception.
The human subconscious is the most elusive. In some cases, it is even contrary to people's subjective consciousness.
After observing the transformation of the beetle at close range, this doubt will naturally disappear a lot.
Don't underestimate this psychological change. After all, magic is an extremely idealistic system, especially transformation.
If you are not firm and unified when you wave the magic wand, it will obviously be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
For example, Padma Patil's second "button" is trying to escape, and its six thin legs that are still alive after the transformation are pulling and pulling like a charm.
And...
Ani frowned and looked at Malfoy's table. As Slytherin's assistant in transfiguration, the blond boy was the first to successfully transform the beetle.
However, the pair of small black eyes on the button convey a hint of lovelessness, and there is also a pair of glasses on it...
No matter how you look at it, they are all the same as Harry Potter.
