Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 552: persona non grata
Anything about saving salamanders is just a casual excuse. Fred, George, and Lee Jordan were uneasy from the start.
As for how to get the salamander away?
In the last semester, the three of them thought about it seriously.
It’s a pity that after Professor Kettlebo’s class on the protection of magical creatures, he stopped letting them touch the salamanders, and never found a chance to implement it.
Those original ideas have been preserved until today before they have the opportunity to be implemented.
The three of them would not miss this opportunity, and even without Albert’s help, they could still “save” the salamander.
Fred did a lot of work on this, using the Transfiguration Charm to turn a branch into a glass bottle, into which George unleashed blue portable magical flames he learned from Albert With magic, Lee Jordan shoved salamanders caught from the campfire into the twins’ prepared containers.
For the salamander, which is born and feeds on fire, as long as the magical flame in the glass bottle does not go out, it can continue to live.
To a certain extent, it’s not wrong to save, because as long as the salamanders are collected, they will basically die at the hands of the students.
No way, most of the students have not mastered the formal blood collection skills at all, and cannot save the salamander’s life after blood collection.
However, for salamanders that live only six hours after leaving the flame, death is not terrible, that is, the difference between dying early and dying a few hours later.
Professor Ketelber didn’t care about the little actions of Fred and the others in class. He probably thought that the three of them were going to catch a salamander to feed him, and he kindly reminded him, “Magic flames are only suitable for Because of the transfer of salamanders, you cannot provide food for the salamanders for a long time. If you want to feed the salamanders with magical flames, you will only cause the salamanders to die of malnutrition in the end.”
“We got it.”
All three were a little embarrassed, but nodded seriously to show that they understood.
“Everyone should focus on learning now, how to properly take blood from salamanders, because there are not many opportunities like this.” Professor Kettleb sat in a chair, looked around the crowd and said seriously, “I have seen too many people taking blood, so I just Killing the salamander directly. This is actually a shameful waste. If the salamander can still survive after blood collection, as long as it is raised in the bonfire for a while, it will still be able to continue to collect blood. After all, the fireplace in the winter is long-term It’s not a strange thing to burn firewood.”
Keeping a few salamanders in the fireplace is a common thing for a professor of protecting magical creatures. Hagrid has done the same thing. In Professor Kettleb’s fireplace, there is a salamander than the one here. The pets that are a few larger ones are said to have been raised since they were teaching at Hogwarts.
Before the end of the get out of class, Professor Kettleb brought it out to open the eyes of everyone. He was really big and could spit out sparks from his mouth.
“By the way, this time the prize belongs to Mr. Anderson.” Professor Kettleb held up Albert’s bottle of red fluorescent glass test tube and happily announced the result, “Except for the ones that were killed at first, Anderson The salamanders that Mr. bleed are basically still alive.”
The professor of protection of magical creatures continued: “The blood that has been collected is best stored in a magical flame, so as to best maintain the effect of salamander blood. If it is stored directly in a bottle, salamander blood will The healing and recovery functions will gradually weaken, so most salamander blood needs to be stored in a special way, or used immediately after taking it.”
“I remember a small bottle like… Ten xikes?” Fred was looking at the test tube in his hand, muttering something in his mouth.
“Don’t be silly, in Albert’s words, if it’s so profitable, it’s your turn to come.” Lee Jordan labelled the test tube and handed it to Professor Kettleb.
“Is this thing really made of silver, so is it very valuable?” George fiddled with the bird and snake statue in his hand and asked Albert.
“Don’t be stupid, even silver isn’t worth much.” Albert looked at George speechlessly. This thing is more about its commemorative value.
After class, everyone put out the bonfire and hurriedly returned to the lounge in the rain.
Then, I couldn’t wait to give myself a hot shower, carefully cleaned the dirt off my body, put on a clean suit, and ran to the fireplace in the lounge to warm up and chat.
When Fred and George came to the lounge with glass bottles, ready to try fireworks for the salamanders, Wood appeared without warning and pulled the two away for training.
“Wait, I remember we didn’t have Quidditch training today,” Fred shouted, struggling.
“Oh, not really.” Wood said with a smile, “However, Hufflepuff gave up training today and gave us the Quidditch pitch.”
“What a pity!” Albert looked out the window and sighed softly.
As soon as I came back from the outside, I was pulled out to get in the rain again. It’s not surprising that I would get sick and catch a cold.
The rain has picked up again, and the rain has crackled against the castle windows.
Albert picked up the teacup and sipped the milk tea. After sending a message to Isobel with the correspondence bookmark, he took out a book and began to read. He spent a lot of money on the broken task of “Reading Maniac”. It has not been completed for three years, and the current task progress is stuck at 76, which is very close to 100. “
“Or, let’s try it.” Lee Jordan felt a little itchy, and wanted to feed the salamander fireworks to see what it would do.
“Forget it.” Albert said casually, “Let’s try again when Fred and George come back, they’ve been waiting for it for a long time~IndoMTL.com~ Oh, okay!”
After Angelina and the others went to the Quidditch pitch for training, Lee Jordan couldn’t find someone to chat with, so he took his homework, sat next to Albert and started to do it silently, just in time for Ai Burt is free, you can ask him directly if you have any questions.
Just then, Percy took a notice and posted it on an old Gryffindor notice board for the first Hogsmeade weekend of the term, at the end of October.
For the Alberts who often run to Hogsmeade, this thing is no longer attractive to them.
However, it’s nice to be able to visit Hogsmeade, at least without sneaking into Hogsmeade.
The third graders were the happiest in this regard. This was their first trip to Hogsmeade, and many of them gathered together and whispered about the interesting aspects of Hogsmeade.
They talk about the joke props in Saeki’s joke shop and how to bring them into the school without Filch noticing.
This manager has almost become the biggest villain in the school. I heard that he has caught a cold recently. He has a very bad temper and always likes to trouble the students.
Several people seem to plan to find something for Filch to do, so that the other party has no time to trouble everyone.
Albert turned the book for a while, listening to their brilliant plan, and was immediately speechless.
These guys are going to “accidentally” smear the brains of the frogs on the ceiling of the fifth basement, and Filch has to spend a lot of time cleaning it up.
“I think it’s more fun to throw a few rotten eggs in Filch’s office than this,” Lee Jordan muttered.
In fact, many students like to take the former to get Filch in trouble. However, once Filch caught him on the spot, he would be ordered to clean it up.
