Chapter 274 The Twins' Warning
Hagrid has been teaching the Care of Magical Creatures class for a year and a half. If there is any class that satisfies all the students, it is undoubtedly today's class.
It's not that he teaches well, but the golden coins are so attractive.
As a "treasure hunter", the Niffler instantly replaced the Phoenix and became everyone's favorite!
Justin was not even willing to give Sniff back to Hagrid. He couldn't help but ask:
"Professor Hagrid, can I buy this Niffler as a pet?"
"No." Hagrid shook his head and said with a smile, "Sniffing this animal will destroy your Hufflepuff College lounge. Professor Sprout will not agree to it."
Not just Justin, many students looked disappointed.
"Okay, it's time to count the gold coins and see who can win this game." Hagrid said loudly.
The students took out all the gold coins they had obtained. After Hagrid counted them, Neville won the first prize and became the champion.
As a reward, Hagrid gave Neville a set of exercises on theoretical knowledge of magical beasts, which made Neville cry with joy.
The other students laughed happily, but they were not happy for long when they heard Hagrid remind:
"It's okay to take these gold coins away. They are just the leprechaun's gold coins and will disappear in a few hours."
Everyone was speechless after hearing this, and they were busy working together in a class. Are you kidding the idiot? !
Although the gold coins are fake, Xiu Xiu’s treasure-detecting ability cannot be faked. With this thing, he can still find money even while walking on the road!
As a result, Niffler quickly became popular at Hogwarts, and many students were asking where they could buy it.
At dinner time, Rolf was sitting at the Hufflepuff table and saw Justin and MacMillan whispering together.
After a while, the two sneaked over.
Justin lowered his voice and asked: "Rolph, we just bought two sniffer cubs, but they won't eat. Please help us find out what's going on."
Rolf nodded in agreement, and was secretly surprised at the same time. Can Nifflers be still available at Hogwarts?
They really sell everything!
Justin raised his head and glanced at the faculty's seat to make sure that the professors were not looking this way, and then quietly put a black cub into Rolf's arms.
Luofu looked at the cub. He just glanced at it and almost stopped:
The body shape is streamlined, round, without any sharp corners or flat places, sharp eyes, long and thin abdomen... What the hell is this Xiu Xiu? !
Are you sure it's not a rogue? !
Luofu picked up the creature named Niffler and looked at it again and again, and suddenly there was a ding in his mind:
[A marten cub was detected, triggering a side mission:]
Help the marten treat skin diseases, and you will be rewarded:
【Listen attentively】
[Your hearing will be as amazing as that of a marten, able to hear very subtle sounds within three hundred meters. (Task not completed)]
"How is it?" Justin asked impatiently.
"It's sick." Rolf pointed at the marten's mouth and eyes and said:
"Look here... there are round protrusions and ring-shaped hair loss areas, and the surface is covered with gray-white scales. This is a typical skin disease infected with Microsporum."
"Sick Sniff?" Justin shouted: "Then if we buy one for ten galleons, wouldn't we make a loss?"
"If you want to buy a Niffler, you will indeed lose money." Luofu said with a smile, "A net loss of ten Galleons each."
Justin and McMillan looked at each other in confusion, and Rolf didn't show off, saying bluntly: "This is not a sniffer at all, it's a skunk."
"Impossible!" MacMillan said in astonishment: "I have seen a marten in my garden. Isn't it snow white?"
"That's right." Luofu pulled out a hair from the marten, sniffed it gently, and said in disgust: "It smells like cheap dye."
"..."
"Also... the marten in the Magical Creatures Store only costs five galleons a piece, but he actually sells it to you for ten galleons." Luofu said with a smile: "Who is so black-hearted as to sell it to you?"
"Gartrey from Slytherin House," Justin said.
McMillan gritted his teeth and said, "He is my cousin."
Rolf shrugged. "Scammers always start with relatives."
"I want to argue with him, this profiteer!"
Macmillan angrily ran towards the Slytherin table, Justin following closely behind.
After the two of them ran away, Gabrielle came over, looked at the marten curiously, and asked, "Is its illness serious?"
"It's not too serious." Luo Fu said thoughtfully: "Gabriel, do you still remember how I taught you how to treat microsporal mycosis?"
The little girl thought for a moment, then suddenly her eyes lit up and she said: "Iodine tincture and Lysol...mix it at a ratio of 1:1 and apply it on the affected area!"
"That's right." Rolf nodded with satisfaction, then opened the box, used the flying spell, summoned two bottles of magic potion, handed it to Gabrielle and said:
"Come and give it some medicine."
"Me?" Gabrielle took the bottle excitedly and began to apply medicine to the marten.
Luofu took this opportunity to whisper to Fleur about the Triwizard Tournament, and asked her to go out for a "night tour" at night.
Fleur agreed expectantly.
Looking at the girl's expression, Luofu secretly wondered.
He remembered that the first time he asked Furong to go out for a night outing, she was still a little resistant. Unexpectedly, in just six months, she had learned to taste the essence and became more and more aware of the benefits of night outings.
Gryffindor table,
Harry picked up a piece of Norwegian sausage and took a bite. While chewing, he whispered:
"Ron, I met Hagrid when I entered the hall just now. He asked us to come out tonight and take us to see the content of the third project."
Ron was happy at first, but soon frowned and said:
"Can we go out? It's very dangerous outside. There are Dementors everywhere, and we may encounter Crouch who escaped from prison."
"It's okay, Hagrid is here." Harry said, "He will definitely guarantee our safety..."
"Hagrid may be able to guarantee your safety outside the castle." A teasing voice suddenly sounded.
Another voice continued: "But he certainly can't guarantee your safety inside the castle."
Harry and Ron were startled and turned their heads to see that it was George and Fred.
Harry asked, "What do you mean?"
"You two must not have gone out for a night tour recently." George smiled and said, "I don't know that this great cause is facing a terrible contradiction."
"What contradiction?"
"The contradiction between the professors' increasingly frequent patrols and the students' increasing desire for freedom." Fred sat on the chair and whispered:
"The two of us went out for a night tour the day before yesterday, and we actually met four professors along the way. This has never happened before."
"It must be to guard against Crouch." Ron said thoughtfully.
"Maybe." George shrugged, "but it also brought a heavy blow to the night tour business."
"So, you must be careful, little brother." Fred patted Ron on the shoulder and said:
"It's not dangerous outside the castle, but it's difficult to leave the castle without being discovered by the professors."
"Yes, even the two of us have been discovered by Mad-Eye several times." George echoed, "His magic eye is really scary."
"It's okay, we both put on the invisibility cloak, he can't see it." Harry said confidently.
George and Fred looked at each other and finally said with a sly smile: "Then I wish you both good luck!"
