Settle at Hogwarts

"professor!"

"us!"

"I'm going to—"

"Forbidden forest?"*2

Tabor suddenly stopped and turned around to see two faces with the same funny expression.

"It seems that you are looking forward to tonight's labor service."

George and Fred looked at each other, always feeling that tonight's style was extremely cold.The figure half hidden in the darkness and the other half illuminated by the light of the castle is also a bit scary.

"Of course!"

"no!"

"Professor Prince."*2

Listening to the twins' harmonious way of speaking, Tabor found it quite interesting.

"With or without it, we have to stay in the Forbidden Forest tonight anyway."

George and Fred looked at Tabor's figure continuing to move forward, and quickly followed him.

"Professor, are there werewolves in the Forbidden Forest?"

Tabor suddenly discovered that the little wizards had a curiosity about werewolves that surpassed other magical animals.

"Yes, but our target today is not werewolves, so we won't encounter them."

The three of them walked into the Forbidden Forest, and the bright moonlight was suddenly blocked by the trees.

"Oh, there is a trap here. George, please pull me out."

Seeing Fred falling into the pit with most of his body, Tabor pulled him out with a random floating spell.

"Thank you Professor Prince."

Although Tabor himself did not need light, he could clearly see the path in the Forbidden Forest.However, considering that there were two students behind him, he waved his wand to make a white ball of light float around him.

"Cool, Professor, what kind of magic is this?"

George couldn't help but stretched out his hand, wanting to touch the ball of light.

"Just another use of the lighting spell."

Tabor replied nonchalantly, and then continued to move forward in the direction he sensed.

"Professor, what are we doing?"

"Yeah, where are you going? Hey Fred, do you feel that the Forbidden Forest is particularly quiet today."

"Say it as if you've been in."

Fred said angrily, and forcefully tugged on his brother's sleeve behind Tabor's back.

"Ah, of course I've never been here, but this place is indeed different from what I imagined!"

Tabor didn't pay attention to their words. Now that he was not the principal, the disobedient little lion should be left to Minerva to teach.

In order to keep the speed of the two students, the three of them walked for nearly two hours before truly entering the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

The trees here are tall and dense. Without that small ball of light, the surroundings would be completely dark.

"Professor, how long do we have to go?"

"This is really the furthest we have ever left the castle during our school days."

"Yeah, do you want to keep a souvenir? Fred?"

"Whatever you want to do, George, I can cooperate with you."

"Then let's..."

Tubo looked at the huge cave in front of him and ruthlessly interrupted the two Mr. Weasleys before they could discuss a plan.

"Gentlemen, we are here. Your labor service today is to help me collect some potion materials."

As if they suddenly had some bad premonition, both the Weasley brothers shuddered.

"Professor, can I ask a question?"

Tabor nodded: "Ask, Mr. George Weasley."

"Why can't we come and pick it up during the day?"

"Well, that's a good question. Maybe it's because you have classes during the day."

Tabor casually made up a reason.

Fred and George were a little helpless. At this time, they had reached this point and could only walk into the cave resignedly.

Tabor walked slowly beside the two of them, and he could feel a nervous emotion spreading.

"George, do you think it's a little scary here?"

"Fred, I feel exactly the same way you do."

"Maybe we should sing a song to liven up the atmosphere."

"That's a really good idea."

"How about the school song, just like the one we sang at the opening dinner."

"good idea."

Tabor listened as the entire cave echoed with the school song sung to the tune of a funeral march.

I couldn't help but take a deep breath of the smelly air, and suppressed my hand that wanted to take a big pussy.

"The material provider has arrived."

As soon as Tabor finished speaking, there was a 'click-click' sound.From the depths of the cave, gradually move towards this side.

The Weasley brothers stopped singing, nervously holding their wands and staring in the direction of the sound.

Neither of you were talking when you got serious, which made the cave even quieter, and the approaching movement became more and more obvious.

"George, if I'm not mistaken, it seems to be an Acromantula?"

"Brother, I saw it too!"

The two looked at each other, and then ran behind Tabor.

It seemed that only then did they remember that there was a professor who could ensure their safety.

"Professor Prince, you probably don't want to use us as food for these spiders."

Tabor touched his smooth chin and suddenly felt that it would be good to give the little spiders an extra meal.

"This is a good proposal. You can enter the spider's belly now, and I will take your undigested parts back to Hogwarts during the day tomorrow."

The Weasley twins both showed extremely exaggerated expressions of horror.

"Professor, what you said is not true!"*2

Just in case, Tabor bound all the Acromantulas with magic.

Then he pushed the two brothers in front of the largest one.

"The venom of the Acromantula is a very good potion material. You need to collect as much venom as possible tonight. If I find that the quantity is not enough tomorrow morning, you should prepare to experience the world inside the spider's belly."

After Tabor finished speaking, he left behind two large glass bottles and disappeared instantly.

Fred looked at the big guys around him and lowered his voice and called, "Professor Prince?"

The cave was quiet and no one responded.

"Fred, it seems the professor has really left."

"Are we really going to open these guys' big mouths?"

"perhaps......."

After waiting for a while, the Weasley twins saw that the Acromantulas were motionless, and then they cautiously walked over.

Tabor leaned on the back of the armchair, but his consciousness still stayed in the cave, observing every move of the two people.

"Hey, George, why don't these big guys move?"

George patted the spider's legs beside him: "It's probably a binding spell or something."

"I don't know how long this spell can last. If it suddenly doesn't work, we may really turn into Acromantula excrement."

The Weasley brothers seemed to have thought of that terrible scene and shook their bodies together.

"Fred, we are all so miserable, how about we say we are happy?"

"Of course, do you think we can sneak an Acromantula back to the castle and give it to our little brother Ron?"

"This is a really good idea, but if we do this, Principal McGonagall will definitely tell our mother!"

"Then our butts will be spread open~!"

"Maybe a little more symmetry."

Feeling that although the Weasley brothers kept talking, their hands moved very quickly, Tubo stopped paying attention to them.

In fact, if Tubo had done the matter of collecting Acromantula venom himself, he would probably be back by now.

What happened today was entirely to find something for the Weasley brothers to do, and to scare them so that they would give up the idea of ​​sneaking into the Forbidden Forest in the future.

By the time Tubbo reappeared in the cave two hours later, the Weasley brothers had collected most of the Acromantula's venom.

It is inevitable that some of the Acromantula's filth would be stained on his body.

"Looks like you're doing well boys."

George yawned greatly. Although they often took night walks in the castle, they had never been so tired.

"Ah~ha~~! Professor Prince, we are not lazy."

Tubo put away the two glass bottles containing venom, then apparated into the Gryffindor common room with the Weasley brothers.

Unexpectedly, he met three pairs of confused eyes.

"Professor Prince."

Tabor had no intention of pursuing the three of them for sneaking out again.

"Children will not grow taller if they go to bed too late. Now go back to your beds."

The little lions all breathed a sigh of relief, and then quickly ran back to their dormitories, as if a three-headed dog was chasing them.

"You should also go take a bath and have a good rest."

After Tubo said something to the Weasley brothers, he returned to the Forbidden Forest.

Fred and George looked at each other and hurried into the bathroom.

Returning to the cave just now, Tabor took away the venom from the remaining Acromantulas, and then untied them.

After carefully putting away all the venom, Tabor lay peacefully on the soft bed in the secret room.

In fact, he is not short of money now. The reason why he wants to collect the venom of Acromantula is more to protect other magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, including centaurs.

The next day, Severus brought the Philosopher's Stone to Hogwarts.

"Uncle, Lily and I don't want to use the Philosopher's Stone. Although you said that you should just put it in Spider End Alley as a decoration, I think it would be more appropriate to give it to you."

Tub stared at Severus for a moment before understanding what they were thinking.

Compared with death, aging is also something that some people are unwilling to experience.

"Decided? You won't regret it in the future?"

Severus nodded slightly: "Yes, uncle."

Tabor looked at the Philosopher's Stone and wanted to destroy it directly but was reluctant to do so.Although it is of no use, it is not bad to keep it as an ordinary gem.

After Tubo put the Sorcerer's Stone away, Severus invited his uncle to spend Christmas together in Cokeworth.

Tabor agreed with little hesitation.

Although Christmas at Hogwarts is fun, it’s nice to experience the warmth of family once in a while.

After sending Severus away, Tabor took the Philosopher's Stone and played with it.

An idea suddenly appeared in his mind, since Xiao Can was once a stone, and then became an artifact after being baptized by divine power.So, can the magic stone be transformed into something similar?

After carefully deducing the feasibility of this idea in his mind, Taber finally shelved the plan for the time being.

Compared to mature gods, his own divine power is still too little.As the saying goes, good steel is used on the blade. It is still a bit too extravagant to invest divine power now to get an artifact with no known effect.

However, in Tabor's heart, the magic stone has been upgraded from a beautiful stone to a material for future artifacts.

After a period of time, Tubo found that the Weasley twins were obviously more at ease.Just in private, but making some preparations.

The other students, except for the occasional night out, are mostly well-behaved.

The stern Principal McGonagall obviously has quite a deterrent effect, especially for lower grade students.

Tubber had no intention of getting involved in the management of Hogwarts, so except for classes, he basically spent all his time collecting faith.

When the students were on holiday, Tubb boarded the Hogwarts Express with Harry.

After the two of them sat down in a private room, no third person came in until the list started.

"Uncle, do you want some snacks?"

Tabor glanced at the food Harry took out from the bag, picked out a box of chocolate frogs, opened it casually, and then took out the card inside.

"Hey! It's me."

Tabor looked at the middle-aged version of himself on the card, ignored the screams of the characters in it, and turned to the back.

"The missing headmaster of Hogwarts, the recipient of the first-class Order of Merlin... He suddenly disappeared more than ten years ago, and now he has returned and become a few younger people. Maybe we should re-write the character introduced."

"Harry, do you want to collect cards?"

Tabor said and put the card in his hand on the table.

Harry picked up the card and realized that it was his uncle who was actually in the picture of the chocolate frog.

"I just don't have this one."

After Harry answered, he put away Tabor's card.

"Crack!"

Taber devoured the head of the chocolate frog in one bite. The rich cocoa aroma and the faint milky aroma instantly stimulated his taste buds.at last.It's not unpleasantly sour, everything is perfect and just right.

"It's really good. I think the recipe of this chocolate frog should be improved. It seems to be sweeter and smoother than the ones I had in previous years."

When Harry saw this, he took out a few more chocolate frogs from his bag.

"If you like, just put these away."

Tabor waved his hand in rejection.

Regardless of any food, if you eat too much, you won’t feel the deliciousness.

Hogwarts was very slow as in the original plot, driving until dusk before entering King's Cross Station.

Carrying one of Harry's boxes, Tabor easily found Lily and Severus in the crowd who came to take the baby home.

"Uncle, I asked Duoduo to clean your bedroom again, and also replaced some old furniture."

"I see."

Tubo gave Severus an encouraging look, then looked at the Hogwarts Express before disapparating and leaving the station.
