A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 400: Hourglass

Felix looked around, but Moody was not in sight.

Indeed, in this environment, it is not suitable for him to appear, maybe because a firecracker suddenly exploded beside him, he would turn all the little wizards within sight into animals of the corresponding academy.

Hmm... Felix imagined this kind of scene. Little lions, little snakes, little badgers, and little eagles were flopping about in the auditorium. Put them away one by one...

"Ha, interesting!"

"Are you talking about that dog? It's really interesting..."

There was a malicious gleam in Snape's eyes, Felix followed his gaze and saw a **** dog sneaking in at some point, and took a piece of steak from the dining table, Lying in the corner, staring at Harry.

When he noticed their gazes, the **** dog waved its paws in a humane manner, gravy dripping from the corners of its mouth.

"He's really good at being a dog. I didn't know Azkaban had this kind of training..." Snape said slowly.

…

The festivities continued well into the evening, even supper was skipped, and the house-elves in the kitchen were exhausted by the coming and going of the Great Hall.

The entrance to the Gryffindor lounge.

Harry came back yawning, and Violet, the fat lady's friend in the portrait, asked very interestedly: "I heard you snatched the dragon's egg?"

As she spoke, she stared at Harry without blinking, who held a shiny golden egg under his arm.

"Yeah... gibberish." Harry said the password.

"That's not it!" said Violet angrily.

"He said the password...the password is gibberish," said the fat lady, pushing her friend out of the frame and turning her body forward to reveal the entrance to the lounge.

There were not many people inside, so Harry walked around the dormitory, but there was no one there. He casually put the golden egg on the bed, lying on the pillow in a daze. What happened in the afternoon seemed to be still in front of his eyes, and he was still very worried tomorrow, but he didn't let himself show it. But after it was over, he felt that the fire dragon was no big deal.

Recalling what Hagrid said, he took out the magic lamp of the Hungarian Horntail from the pocket of his robe, and pressed it lightly. The Charmander began to flap its wings with its fangs and claws, and spit out a soft light.

It's really kind of cute... What Hagrid said makes sense...

He casually picked up the hourglass on the bedside cabinet, which was exchanged by Professor Haipu's pet Sniffing Warren and him, and he placed it on the cabinet casually, along with a stack of rune cards. Crookshanks sneaked in before and scattered the card and the hourglass. He only gathered the cards at that time, and stepped on it when he was sleeping at night, only to find that the hourglass also fell on the ground.

When he pulled the hourglass out of the crack in the floor, he was worried that it would be trampled, but unexpectedly, the hourglass was very strong and intact.

At this time, Hermione stuck her head out from the door, "Harry, are you there?"

"In——"

"We study laying golden eggs."

Harry jumped out of bed and went into the common room.

"Where's Ron?" Hermione asked casually, staring intently at the golden egg.

"He hasn't come back yet, he should be with those lower grade students... You know, he's been under a lot of pressure recently." Harry said.

They leaned together, hesitant to open it.

In the auditorium, Roger Davis opened the golden egg in public to see what it looked like, but found that the heavy golden egg was empty inside, and then there was a terrifying, shrill scream from inside Worse than the jigsaws of the ghost band and the hysterical screams of Myrtle that Harry had ever heard, his heart nearly stopped.

After that, Li Jordan and the twins who were very interested in the golden egg never wanted to touch it again. Harry handed it over to a **** dog for safekeeping, and secretly gave him two sausages.

"Is this what you raised?" an ethereal voice asked.

Harry turned his head and saw that it was Luna. There was a string of magic lamps floating around her, flying around her continuously, and there was a fire dragon lying on her head.

"Oh, uh... yes," he faltered.

Sirius stretched out a paw in cooperation and handed it to Harry. Harry bit the bullet and shook it twice, "Look...he can shake hands, oh, I mean...it."

"Many people think that black dogs are a harbinger of disaster, and some people have written a book dedicated to them..." Luna said softly, and the others in her sight avoided here, "But I don't think so .He was a loyal friend."

"Oh, uh, thanks," said Harry.

He wasn't sure if Luna had noticed something, but she just said hello and left, as if she had suddenly appeared.

…

Finally, Hermione stretched out her hand, and pressed her nails along a very inconspicuous groove in the middle of the golden egg, prying it open.

The shrill screams immediately echoed in the lounge, startling Ron who had just entered, and sat on the steps of the door, causing the fat lady to urge him outside.

Hermione closed the golden egg hard, "No..." she said disappointedly, "It seems that everyone's golden egg is the same."

"What do you think?" Ron heard the second half of the sentence and sat next to them.

"I read from the book that in previous competitions, sometimes warriors with different rankings got different clues." Hermione explained dryly, her face was pale, and she was quite frightened by the voice.

It's really terrible...

Ron shrugged and knocked on the golden egg with his hand, "If we cast a spell on it...for example, Scacchi, Scar..."

"Scaping current spell."

"That's right, that's it." Ron said with certainty.

"That's for analyzing the ingredients of the potion," Hermione said angrily, and she thought about it carefully, "It's not impossible, this kind of thinking... we can try the analysis method in alchemy."

"Any of us know this stuff?" Ron asked, and then he and Harry looked at Hermione with burning eyes.

"Me neither," Hermione spread her hands, "but I know that Professor Haipu will, well, I can learn."

"So troublesome?"

"No trouble, we have three months, if we can get in touch with the puzzles within one month, we will have enough time to prepare." Hermione said confidently: "And I can learn one more skill, alchemy and magic The text is inseparable, and you can use it too."

The corner of Harry's mouth was a bit bitter. Just keeping up with the increasingly difficult activities of the Rune Club was a test for him. The only good news was that the Rune Club never left homework. He looked at Ron, their expressions unsurprisingly unified.

"The golden egg is for you, Hermione." Ron said righteously.

Hermione's stern eyes stared over, he quickly changed the subject, looked around, and suddenly said in surprise: "Oh, Harry, why did you take it out?"

Harry was stunned, only to realize that Ron was referring to the hourglass. It turned out that he just took it out in a hurry.

"What's this?" Hermione asked, feeling familiar to her.

"Varren and I exchanged hourglasses, I told you about it," Harry explained.

Hermione snatched the hourglass from Ron and stared at it thoughtfully, "I must have seen something like that somewhere..."

"Is it an antique?" Ron asked with great interest: "Have you read this kind of book?" His last question revealed his true thoughts, and he asked expectantly: "How much do you think it is worth?"

Hermione played with the hourglass for a long time ~IndoMTL.com~ From time to time, she waved it towards the magic lamp above the lounge, and made a strange sound from her mouth.

Harry and Ron looked at each other, but they knew it was best not to interrupt her at this time, because she had already entered a state of frantic research.

"I remember!" said Hermione, her eyes seemed to be shining, "I know where I've seen this hourglass, it's not a book, I've entered a misunderstanding...it's Egypt!"

"Egypt?" the two asked in unison.

"That's right, Egypt," she suddenly smiled like a greedy fox, overjoyed: "No wonder Professor Haipu wants to teach Warren, it turns out it has a criminal record."

"What the **** is it, Hermione, don't be fooled," said Ron eagerly.

"This hourglass comes from a greedy Gringotts goblin," Hermione said in a low voice, holding her breath, "No, it should be said to come from an evil ancient Greek dark wizard, the despicable Herpo!"
