Vol 7 Chapter 571: Trivia before Easter
The news that Professor McGonagall had ended her vacation quickly spread throughout the school like wings, which made the entire castle look different.
Taking advantage of so many loopholes in the confinement process, the Gryffindors who were making trouble suddenly became good babies, and the rest of the students who watched the play became obedient one by one.
The fifth grade students even started to cheer - Dumbledore, the students of other grades, spoke very vividly and interestingly, but only the fifth grade students, all papers!
The professors in the staff lounge were also very happy, and began to sort out the various applications that had been put on hold during this period, preparing to arrange everything before the Easter holiday.
Even Peeves was a little restrained, and it was happily mocking Myrtle after learning the news of Professor McGonagall's return to school and gave up the plan to chase after Myrtle and bully.
But sadly, the transition stopped at lunchtime.
"What, you mean, Professor McGonagall didn't end her vacation, she just came back to see?"
William opened his mouth wide and looked at Adams, who was very well informed.
"Are you kidding me, Adams, is Professor McGonagall really planning to take a full month's vacation?"
"Of course it's true, that's what Professor Sprout found out himself - you know, the new greenhouse is about to be built, so Professor Sprout knows that Professor McGonagall is going to apply for a lot of dragon dung when she comes back. come over."
"Ah, yes, that's what happened."
William knows this. The new greenhouse has been built intermittently for a long time. Seeing that it is about to be put into use, the official use will definitely be after Easter, but the soil must be processed ahead of time.
Dragon dung is an excellent fertilizer because it contains weak magic power, but it is a little difficult to mobilize so much at one time - one is the purchase channel, and the other is the transportation capacity, both of which are a big problem.
Dumbledore's face will definitely be good for the first one, but it's hard to say if the second one is properly arranged. After all, the castle has to transport food every day. Go, it's really not just a matter of being hungry...
Another problem is that there is a professor named Hagrid in the school. According to Dumbledore's current mode of reviewing reports, Professor Sprout is very worried that Hagrid will take the opportunity to suggest that Dumbledore should buy it instead of producing it himself, and simply transport it. A dragon comes in...
Although this is outrageous, according to Dumbledore's censorship method, Professor Sprout is very worried that this thing will really happen - this is what Adams said as a joke, but for some reason, William feels Professor Sprout's concern She does have a point...

"So, when exactly does Professor McGonagall end her sabbatical?"
William finished the week's papers and left Dumbledore's office, thinking about the question while eating the brand new snack in his hand.
Dumbledore has worked hard, but dealing with government affairs requires not only talent, but also accumulated experience, and because of Professor McGonagall over the years, Dumbledore has not accumulated anything on it.
"However, it will only be five days no matter what, the paper doesn't need to be prepared. It's rare to take a break from the busy schedule. Go and train Animagus to transform."
He took a look at the weather and finally chose the latter between the training flight and the Animagus.
'Speaking of which, the flying magic that Dumbledore promised me has not yet arrived. I hope that after Professor McGonagall ends his vacation, Dumbledore can complete the relevant magic as soon as possible...'
He is still somewhat self-aware of himself, and if he doesn't make a breakthrough in any field, it would be a dream to expect him to develop flight.
'So Professor Snape's flying is definitely not something he made himself - considering he is a Death Eater, this thing is almost certainly researched by the Dark Lord... So the Dark Lord must be able to fly? ’
After confirming this matter, William couldn't help shaking his head - this matter has to be said to Dumbledore as a necessary reminder.
Although Dumbledore probably guessed this, it did not affect William reminding him so that Dumbledore could develop the flying spell faster and better.
"William!"
Just when William was thinking about how to make it clear that Dumbledore should put flying magic on the agenda, he suddenly heard Hagrid shouting.
"Hey, Hagrid, good morning!"
William looked at Hagrid and found that Hagrid's current image was a little embarrassed. Although he tried to make himself normal, the wound on his face was still very conspicuous.
"Hagrid, who bullied you?"
William was a little angry after confirming again that the wound on Hagrid's face had been punched out.
It's at Hogwarts!
Although Professor McGonagall has gone on vacation, Dumbledore is still there! Hagrid is the door key keeper at Hogwarts. Who is so bold and shot at Hagrid?
Neither can the Aurors!
"No no."
Hagrid shook his head desperately, as if denying something.
"Don't be afraid, even if officials from the Ministry of Magic come over, we have nothing to worry about."
On the eve of when the Dark Lord broke out, the school had already cooperated with the Ministry of Magic through Qi, and it was Fudge who did it himself, and he had to give an explanation - although Fudge would definitely not be able to beat Hagrid...
"No no!"
Hagrid shook his head harder, giving William a very familiar feeling—that's how Gryffindor students feel when they get into trouble and aren't caught on the spot.
Wait a minute - Hagrid is Gryffindor too, that's fine.
"Are you bitten by a dragon?"
"Where is the dragon?"
Hagrid's eyes widened, his face full of anticipation.
…
No help - sure enough, Professor Sprout was right.
For some reason, William remembered the joke Adams said, and then stared at Hagrid, "Okay, then I suspect that you were attacked by some creature in the Forbidden Forest, and your memory was erased, go back immediately to apply for the Forbidden Forest. search."
"don't want!"
Hagrid shouted, then turned his head vigilantly to look around, and finally explained with a face of unwillingness.
"What, you brought your brother over?"
William's eyes widened and he looked at Hagrid, "Are you on the road in the Forbidden Forest?"
"Ok…"
Hagrid was a little embarrassed, "It's mainly because you checked too much..."
The Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts is very large, and there are many kinds of magical creatures in it. There is Hagrid guarding the edge of the Forbidden Forest on the inside of the school, so there is no police there at all.
But if Hagrid leads the way, that's another story.
William shook his head helplessly, he knew what Hagrid thought-according to Hagrid, his younger brother was always bullied in the clan because he was a little short, so he brought his younger brother back.
But in the eyes of most wizards, giants are very aggressive. Although Hagrid is very willing to introduce his younger brother to friends, William and the others are still responsible for a considerable part of the castle's security...
'It can only be said that Hagrid thinks too much...'
William sighed. He is not very discriminatory about giants. To be honest, giants are really nothing compared to other dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest. William has found traces of eight-eyed giant spiders in the Forbidden Forest many times. Just a mere giant, what is it?
In this regard, he is quite mediocre. Giants have the possibility to communicate and lack the ability to cast spells. Compared with the eight-eyed giant spider, which is a xxxxx-level magical creature that likes to live in groups, it is nothing at all.
Just as long as Hagrid doesn't bring his younger brother to class - although William is sure Hagrid wouldn't do such a thing.
"I won't expel him, just, does the principal know?"
"I don't know yet..."
Hagrid was a little ashamed, he had introduced his brother to Harry and the others, but Dumbledore didn't know it yet.
That is already known... William helped his forehead, "You have to report to Dumbledore, I will help you speak, will not expel him,"
Although Dumbledore must know that, William thought to himself, "Also, you have to keep him out of the Forbidden Forest. The students have been very naughty lately..."
"I promise."
Hagrid responded with some seriousness in shame.
"Well, then, let's go to the forbidden forest first. I have to evaluate his dangerous state to determine whether he lives in the deepest part or can expand the area for active hunting a little."
Before talking to the headmaster, William must judge the danger of Hagrid's younger brother, that is, the Grapp - although Hagrid now has a clear division of magical creatures, but now that it involves family, that's another story.
—
On the way into the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid, William confirms that Hagrid is not lying.
For the sake of safety, he placed his younger brother in a deeper part of the forbidden forest. They had been going straight for about ten minutes, but they still did not reach their destination.
This was not an ordinary ten minutes. Unlike ordinary students, Hagrid was so familiar with the Forbidden Forest that he would not take any detours at all. Moreover, he was eager to prove to William that his younger brother was harmless, and his pace was much faster than usual.
"This is it, William."
Hagrid subconsciously slowed down. "He's over there, but we need to be a little quieter."
'I knew it…'
William shook his head slightly—he just said, it's certainly not because his brother is very obedient that Hagrid can put his brother in such a deep place.
But it's not a big problem, it's within the scope of consideration.
He began to wonder around the observer and began to look for clues.
'It's a bit irritable...'
William looked at the surrounding trees and found that their condition was not very good. These large trees, which were already thick enough, were being ruthlessly destroyed like small saplings.
Occasionally, very large footprints would appear on the ground—even if they were remnants, William could still easily infer the fact that the owner of the footprints was much taller than Hagrid.
The depth and size of footprints can sometimes reveal a lot - knowledge that William had heard from a dragon hunter.
The other party is a good hand, but he was caught by the striker while helping the Ministry of Magic to clean up the dragon, and found that he had no documents - now I think he should be out of prison.
"Go some more, Hagrid, I have to talk to him."
—
"It's about to give birth, little guy..."
Dumbledore smiled and stroked the unicorn, and the other party snorted - he was one of the few people who wouldn't be rejected by a kind and magical creature, and the unicorn was no exception.
"This is a good growing herb in the greenhouse. Professor Sprout just collected it today. Enjoy it..."
The herbs he had managed to deceive over were being eaten by unicorns at the moment, and Dumbledore was extremely happy to see them.
Minerva is finally back to handle government affairs, and the unicorn is about to be produced, and can make the Philosopher's Stone.
Next, it's just a matter of perfectly erasing the effect of the Horcrux of the ring, and then studying how to make the most of the Deathly Hallows.
"Everything is getting better, really, really good."
"Boy, I don't have time to see you today, I'll have to go back and review the report—if Minerva comes back and finds I've left her with too much work, that's really going to be a bad thing."
"what sound?
Dumbledore suddenly pricked up his ears and stared into the distance.
It was already deep in the Forbidden Forest, and nothing happened, except for Hagrid's younger brother who occasionally made a fuss—as for the Grapp, he was almost harmless, except for hunting and damaging trees.
But the unicorn doesn't appear in any creature's food list, and there aren't even a few magical creatures that can harm it. The reason is very simple. Under normal conditions, the blood of unicorns has a strong curse that even dementors cannot resist.
"who is it?"
—
"Oh, Hagrid..."
William looked at what Hagrid called the somewhat short giant, and his heart was full of Azkaban's characteristic language.
Even Hagrid was considered a child in front of him, and he couldn't help but remember the famous line, 'This is eight years old? ’
"Maybe I'm a little over my head... Hagrid."
He looked at Hagrid, who was trying to say hello with the huge branch, and shook his head.
"William, don't…"
"I have to know exactly what damage he can cause, and I have to convince him before we can talk about it..."
As William spoke, his body swelled extremely.
It's a pity, it's one end, or more than one end - but it's not a big problem now, William waved his left hand and directly smashed the giant's arm that was trying to pull the pine tree.
This is a more effective provocation than what you are looking at.
Grapp began to growl, but was flexibly avoided by William. After UU read www.uukanshu.com around halfway, he slapped him on the waist - unfortunately, the height difference is too much.
Then, William stepped down and tried to knock Grapp off balance.
Hagrid watched anxiously from the side, but didn't know who to help. He definitely couldn't beat William, and he felt bad for his brother...
…
"boom!"
Under Hagrid's astonished gaze, William dodged and disappeared, then appeared behind Grap, slapped Grap on the ground with a slap, and sat up to make sure he didn't intend to stand up. Nod.
"Perfect…"
William stood up and looked at Glop, who was a little unable to get up, and returned to his previous appearance. Now he looked at William with a very 'kind' look.
"Don't hit Hagrid..." William said while assisting with a gesture.
The giant nodded.
"It is forbidden to leave this side," William gestured, "Five hundred paces away!"
Grapp nodded while lying on his stomach. His understanding was limited, but what William said was acceptable to him.
"Very good, that's all!"
William shouted loudly - sure enough, the smuggling experience of the teammates is still very effective.
Giants occasionally have skins of some magical creatures. After winning them and then cooperating with them, they can make a lot of money by trading once... It's just that few people can beat it...
"William, can you communicate with him?"
"A little commonly used, not a lot..."
William was a little embarrassed. In fact, he was using magic to call normally, but he was a little happy to see the hunter... But Animagus was transformed and brought down...
'Wait...what's over there? ’
William pricked up his ears, joking with Hagrid on his face, his right hand was in front of him, but his left hand was secretly making quick gestures.
