The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

"It's a great harvest!" Tom's Fat Sniff was very self-conscious. Before Tom could lift his hind legs, he took out his belly pocket and took out three rings, a necklace and two pairs of earrings.

Tom picked up these golden jewelry and found that there was just a layer of gold foil on the surface. He scratched it a little with his fingernails and found that the material inside was either silver or copper, neither of which was a particularly precious metal. No wonder Newt was willing to stuff them all into the ground without even counting them.

Tom stroked Sniff's fleshy head and was satisfied with its performance.

"It's time, let me see how you are doing, let me count your jewelry." Newt glanced at the time and found that it was almost the end of get out of class, so he walked up to the students and began to count them harvest.

"Currently, Tom Yoder of Ravenclaw and Justin of Hufflepuff are tied for first place, with six pieces of jewelry." Tom met the most humane Niffler here, and took the initiative After turning in his harvest, Justin Finch-Fletchie took out his watch to bribe Xiu Xiu, and traded his watch for six pieces of jewelry. After all, it was just an old watch that was inaccurate, and Justin didn't really care.

The Fat Sniff in front of Tom tilted his head and watched all this. After thinking for a moment, he took out a small ring from his pocket.

"Seven! Mr. Yoder's sniffing set a new record." Seeing this, Newt immediately set the latest record to the little wizards. After double-checking that no one had more than seven achievements, he declared Tom and his Fat Sniff to be the winner.

Although I was very religious about winning and losing at the beginning, winning is not a bad thing. Tom rubbed his little head of Xiu Xiu to show his favor, and then stuffed the trinkets on the ground back into Fat Xiu Xiu's arms.

Now, both people and Xiu Xiu were very happy, which made Xiu Xiu next to them extremely jealous.

However, when he touched the last ring that Xiu Xiu handed over on his own initiative, Tom noticed something was wrong - the ring was too heavy. He took a closer look and realized that the ring might not have just been buried by Professor Scamander.

A small ring was actually two to three times as heavy as the rings just now. Combined with the traces of time left on the surface of the ring, Tom judged that this ring might be the real treasure that Fat Sniff had dug up!

He calmly held the ring in his hand, then took out a gold galleons from his arms and gave it to Fat Sniff. Fat Sniff was a little confused, but with Jin Gallon gagging him, he accepted it.

Almost no one noticed this small detail.

"Ten points to Ravenclaw, Yodel, this is your prize." Newt gave Tom a bag of "All Beast Candies" as a reward. This candy will make various animal sounds after being eaten.

"Kids, give back all the Sniffs," Newt said, feeling a little nervous as he opened the cage door. He was a little worried that Xiu Xiu might get lost along the way. Twenty-four. This is the number of sniffs he gives out.

The little wizards swarmed forward and handed Newt the Sniffs in their hands and those of their friends.

"Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four...twenty-five???" After the last little wizard handed Newt his Niffler, Newt was dumbfounded: I borrowed twenty-four. Twenty-five came back?

There’s one more!

Xiu Xiu is not a loan. You can earn interest when you lend it out. There's a wild Sniff mixed in here!

But the scene was too chaotic, and all the Sniffs were covered in mud. For a while, Newt couldn't tell which one was the Sniff that had snuck in. He could only put the sniffers in a cage first, and then carefully screen them after returning to the office.

"Okay, get out of class is over!" Newt waved his hand and hurried away carrying the box.

Tom looked at the bag of colorful candies in his hand and was speechless: Give me candy? This is inconsistent with your status as Newt Scamander as a magizoologist! Tom originally thought that Newt would come up with something related to magical animals as prizes - such as unicorn tail feathers, thunderbird tail feathers and the like.

"Come on, eat some candy!" The joy of being alone is not as good as the joy of everyone. Tom opened the candy bag and let everyone around him have a piece of candy to try. All of a sudden, all the animals outside the forbidden forest screamed, including ducks, puppies, elephants... all kinds of sounds came and went.

Tom himself ate a piece of candy, and the next moment he let out a roar, covering up Hermione's meow.

After the lively distribution of sweets, the little wizards gradually dispersed, leaving only Hermione and Tom behind.

"There's still some time before the next class, would you like to find a place to practice the Patronus Charm?" Hermione made a good suggestion.

"Ji-ji-"

"Hey you--"

"Cuckoo!"

"Hmph, hum——"

Tom ate several candies at once, and various animal sounds came out of his mouth one after another.

Hermione now understood what "chicken-and-duck talk" meant. In desperation, she dragged Tom directly towards the greenhouse outside the castle. The next class is Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, and the greenhouse area is always quiet, so the class will not be delayed, and no one will disturb them from practicing the Patronus Charm.

"I, Hermione Granger, swear to God, I will teach you the Patronus Charm!" Something seemed to stimulate Hermione, and she suddenly swore while walking.

Tom:?

"The Patronus Charm needs to be based on happy memories to be successfully released." Hermione looked at Tom seriously, "I don't quite understand... I recalled our past and summoned the Patronus at once. Yes. But when it comes to you...how could it be..."

She did not continue.

But the meaning is already obvious: isn’t my experience with you happy enough?

Tom:!

He wanted to explain something, but in the face of the facts, his words were too weak and pale.

Tom trembled, "I will definitely summon the patron saint!" he promised, patting his chest.

[Random mission trigger: Successfully summon the patron saint

Mission reward: Hermione skin (cat) unlocked]

Another unexpected ecstasy! Tom's already very determined thoughts became even stronger.

Outside the greenhouse, Tom took out his wand and carefully recalled the happy scenes in his mind.

"Calling God to protect you!" He felt a heat rippling in his chest, and the sweet taste was sweeter than honey.

At the moment when the magic was released, Tom felt that this time the Patronus Charm was absolutely certain, but what he didn't expect was that this time, what sprayed out from the tip of the wand was still a ball of silver mist.

Hermione: ...

Tom:?

Shouldn't it? I was obviously very confident just now?

Tom looked at the silver mist that gradually dissipated, confused.
