Chapter 308 Hagrid's Omission
Chapter 308 Hagrid's Omission
After finalizing the plan, the twins couldn't wait to return to school and immediately borrowed paper and pen from the bar's owner, Ms. Rose Rosmerta, to write down the ingredients and preparation steps for the potion.
The production of canary cookies is even simpler. You just need to mix the potion into the dough during production.
Many students saw Sainz turning into a canary just now. Several lower grade students came over curiously and asked where he bought it.
The twins took the opportunity to advertise their own magic tricks shop. "You can't buy it anywhere else because it's an exclusive product of our Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes!"
"Wow!" The little wizards exclaimed in surprise, "Where is your shop?"
George said happily to the little wizards who gathered around him, "We are still in school, so we don't have a fixed store yet, but we accept pre-orders. How about it? The price is seven Sickles a piece, and the deposit is one Sickle. We will deliver it in a week. I guarantee that you will win the prank with your friends!"
What's more, there was actually a young wizard who paid a deposit. In just a short while, he received orders for nearly thirty Sickles.
This caused dissatisfaction among Ms. Rosmerta, "Mr. Weasley, I don't think I have received your rent?"
"Don't be so stingy, dear lady," the bullied twins said with a grin, without any shame, "We are also trying to attract attention for you."
Ms. Rosmerta didn't buy his words. "But I don't see any popularity here. I just see that your place is in a mess and it affects the mood of the guests."
The boss did not wrongly accuse them. Indeed, many young couples who came here for dates on weekends cast dissatisfied glances at them.
"Uh... I'm sorry..." Shuangbi was not a shameless person. They smiled awkwardly and quickly led a group of customers away.
"Don't forget to find me in the office when you go back." Sainz said to their figures.
"Teacher Autumn," Ms. Rosmerta said, "I often hear other professors talk about you, but this is the first time I've spoken to you."
"Hello Ms. Rosmerta, I'm honored you've heard of me."
"I'm honored to have you in my business," she said. "I hope you enjoy your stay."
"Thank you, and have a nice day, too."
"Sorry, I have other things to do. You know, I can't leave the counter unattended. Goodbye."
"Goodbye."
The weather in December began to become extremely cold, with strong winds and sleet covering Hogwarts for many days.
The draft in the open space of the castle could take away the little heat from the students. Sainz noticed that the students had their own tricks. Many of them used magic to make small stoves to warm their hands, but they had to be careful to avoid Filch, who was always committed to catching a little wizard who violated school rules.
The big ship on the Black Lake was swaying unsteadily in the strong wind. With that frequency, Sainz felt that if he were put in the same situation in his previous life, he would be seasick and become a weakling in less than half an hour.
The Pegasus at Beauxbatons wanted to drink single malt whiskey, and Hagrid satisfied their request without compromise, so much so that the aroma of the alcohol in the trough in the stable made several junior students who came to class dizzy and almost drunk.
If Sainz had not discovered this situation during a class, who knows how long it would have lasted. There was no other way. The temporary stable was built very solidly and was not easy to move at once. He had to temporarily lead the students to move some distance to the side.
"Hagrid, I think you need to discuss this with Madam Maxime. The stable needs to be moved a little further inside...
What's the matter with you, Hagrid? You look quite distraught."
"Saenz," Hagrid whispered to him dejectedly, "those skrewts, they're killing each other."
"Hmm... didn't you raise them separately?"
"I already did that," Hagrid said, still in a sour mood, "but I was too late. There are only ten of them left now."
Sainz had also visited them when he was taking care of the other animals in the enclosure. Now the length of the screech blitzes has reached about five feet.
Its body was covered with a thick gray protective layer, its tail was constantly exploding and spewing fire, its legs were swinging around very powerfully, and it had thorns on its body and suction cups underneath. It was truly the ugliest and most disgusting creature he had ever seen.
"Well, I'm sorry there are only ten of them left..."
"That's not the worst of it, Sainz," Hagrid faltered.
"Hagrid, tell me whatever bad news you have."
"I ran into Skeeter, that annoying reporter, yesterday afternoon."
"Her? Okay, let's not discuss how she got into the school, let's talk about your problem first. You met her, and then what? What happened to her?"
Hagrid lowered his head and stammered, "Unfortunately, I was walking two blast-tailed skrewts at the time."
Sainz was somewhat speechless. "I remember I warned you, Hagrid, not to let them appear in public?"
"I'm sorry Sainz, but I really wonder if they will hibernate. It's too warm in the enclosure..."
"..."
Sainz had long been aware of Hagrid's willfulness. He actually had a premonition in his heart that sooner or later he would expose the fact that he illegally bred magical creatures, but he originally thought that it would be a little better if he had his persuasion, and maybe he would listen to his advice.
Now it seems that Hagrid is still the same Hagrid. He always does things according to his own ideas. He still doesn't care about the consequences of this matter.
"What did you say to him?"
"I didn't say I bred them," said Hagrid hastily. "I just said I stumbled upon them. You warned me before, and I remember."
“Not bad,” Sainz thought. “Not too stupid.”
But he did not hold out hope. If Hagrid could have outwitted Skeeter in terms of mind, he would not have been so helpless in the Buckbeak incident.
Fortunately, he did not personally admit that he had cultivated it, and there was still a transformation state, but he felt that Hagrid should have been tricked.
Well, forget it. I have already reminded him, but he was still discovered. I can only say that he deserves it. It seems that Sai deserves to be promoted to professor as soon as possible.
"Did she ask you anything else?"
"Sainth, I don't think that reporter is interested in the Blast-Ended Skrewt. She said she wanted to interview me," Hagrid said angrily, "but she actually just wants to hear bad things about Harry from me."
"It's understandable that her article about Harry had a good effect. She certainly wants to continue to dig into Harry's secrets. She knows what people want to hear," Sainz said lightly. "People don't want to see a perfect savior. They want to hear that the savior will make mistakes. That will make them feel that they are not so bad."
"Huh, she kept trying to get me to say that Harry was very naughty in class and his homework was very bad, but I refused. I said Harry behaved very well in class," Hagrid said proudly, "and she left in a huff."
