Chapter 76 Waaagh! ! ! (page 12)
Let’s see what you do, you bad old man!
Although his face was full of panic and horror, Quirrell was actually happy in his heart.
One giant monster can be dealt with by one professor.
Even if it is to be safer, it will not take at most three professors to take action.
But he brought back a bunch of trolls!
One for each professor!
There is plenty left.
Isn't there a certain old man who spends all his time walking birds? I, Qi Luo Bu Cai, want to ask you to get busy today!
And when everyone gets busy...
Hey hey!
Of course, when you want to think about it, when you want to do it, you have to perform it immersively.
Quirrell suddenly stood up from the bench, with an expression on his face as if he was sacrificing his life for righteousness. "Principal, please quickly ask the deans to evacuate the little wizards, I'll go -"
Quirrell had not only been preparing for this impassioned speech for a long time, he also stood up and straightened his chest and abdomen, in order to show his righteousness.
However, only halfway through his words, he felt that the little wizards and professors around him looked at him strangely.
"——Why is my belt buckle missing!" Quirrell exclaimed.
Then, the professor sat down again faster than when he stood up, covered his bare thighs with his robe, and lifted up his fallen trousers.
His heart seemed to be bleeding.
Not only because he had just died on the spot, but also because the belt buckle was his only valuable possession - the belt buckle was made of solid gold and was Quirrell's only personal property that had not been discovered and misappropriated by Voldemort so far.
"It was obviously fine when I returned to Hogwarts, but why did it disappear? What bastard stole my belt buckle?"
Bourne could answer the question in Quirrell's mind.
At the Gryffindor table, Khan, who usually looked carefree wherever he went, suddenly became wary.
It put its head on its belly and formed a fluffy ball.
Combined with Khan's dark golden hair, under the candlelight in the banquet hall, it looked like a large metal projectile.
With such an obvious target in front of them, some guys couldn't hold back their sinful little hands anymore and secretly reached out to Khan.
However, someone had faster hands than that guy. In the blink of an eye, Byrne arrests criminals who dare to commit "the present".
"Whose sniff is this?"
Holding the nape of the mole-like neck with black fur and sniffing, Bourne gently shook his wrist. The eyes of this criminal who wanted to put Khan in his pocket immediately turned into mosquito coils.
After punishing it a little, Bourne immediately gave it an easy-to-understand admonishment: "That's my pet, and its name is Khan. If you dare to bully it, I will throw it to Ryan... Uh. , Ryan is a bit picky... I will throw you to Ruth as a snack."
When he heard his name, and more importantly, when he heard the word "small snacks," a dog's head emerged from under the long table.
Because he was impatient to wait for the table to start, Ruth had been hiding under the long table, grinding his teeth with a rock cake.
Ruth's teeth were ground very white. When she saw the sniffer in Bourne's hand, the mixed-breed swallow-tailed dog immediately showed a "kind" smile. The focus is on its sharp fangs that reflect the candlelight, and its long scarlet tongue with horny barbs.
The sniffer was so frightened that its fur stood up, and it immediately hugged Bourne's finger with its two little paws, fearing that the little wizard would throw him out.
The small noises coming from the Gryffindor table could not be hidden from anyone who was interested. Dumbledore saw what Bourne was carrying at a glance.
The old principal, who had just been a little anxious and angry because of the troll, suddenly saw that today's banquet could go on.
Because, that man has now returned to his loyal Hogwarts.
For him, it takes only a matter of minutes to deal with a few giant monsters.
"Don't panic, everyone. The troll incident is nothing to worry about. The Halloween dinner will continue." Dumbledore's tone became much more soothing. He used a loud voice to reassure everyone to sit down in their seats, and then continued He gave Quirrell a special look.
"However, we now want to collectively welcome a guest to Hogwarts." As he spoke, Dumbledore stretched his hand in the direction of the banquet hall door, as if to invite someone to walk in through that door.
"Your former senior, recipient of the Order of Merlin Level 2, author of the best-selling books "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" and "Monsters and Where to Find Them", developer of the "Staff Code Manual" for the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the British Ministry of Magic, and naturalist Scientist and expert on magical zoology—Newt Artemis Fido Scamander, has returned to Hogwarts!"
And just as he finished speaking this long list of titles, someone actually pushed open the door of the banquet hall again.
Newt Scamander, an old wizard with curly white hair and dressed more like a Muggle than a wizard, walked into the banquet hall carrying a large suitcase.
The little wizards immediately burst into applause, especially the little wizards from Hufflepuff House, who expressed their great welcome to the arrival of this legendary senior.
There were also two loyal fans of Scamander at the teacher's seat: Professor Sprout, the dean of Hufflepuff House, looked at the senior and stood up to applaud, with little stars popping out of his eyes; Ge was so excited that he knocked the chairs behind him to the ground when he stood up, like a fan of his idol.
"Sorry, Professor Dumbledore." Newt habitually called Dumbledore 'Professor' instead of 'Headmaster'.
Because when he was at school, Dumbledore was the transfiguration teacher at Hogwarts.
"Um, thank you all," Newt bowed slightly to everyone, thanking them for their applause.
In the end, Dumbledore reached out his hand and pressed down slightly, and this stopped the thunderous applause in the banquet hall.
"The reason why Mr. Scamander came to Hogwarts is because your Professor Kettleburn was injured and needs a period of rest. But the course of Care of Magical Creatures is very important, and I am worried about everyone's learning. progress, so Scamander was hired as a substitute professor.
In the next month or two, I hope you can learn some useful knowledge from Scamander, and also learn from him his attitude towards magical creatures. Of course, the most important thing is that I don't want anyone to 'forget' to hand in an assignment for this class again.
"My homework was burned by a salamander", this reason cannot fool you senior. I can tell you a secret. The salamanders taught by your Professor Scamander will never spit sparks at the little wizard's homework. "
The joke was met with laughter.
However, Dumbledore was actually telling the truth. He also believed that Scamander’s Care of Magical Creatures homework would definitely let these children who were spoiled by the talkative Kettleburn know what it meant to be invulnerable.
After handling the welcome and introduction, Dumbledore told Newt about the trolls, and he also asked Quirrell to tell where the trolls were caught.
