The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

After the Christmas break, Hogwarts resumed its normal class schedule. To make matters worse, the Scottish Highlands have recently experienced a cold snap, and the weather suddenly turned cold - not dry cold, but wet cold. This wet cold air seemed to be enchanted, easily penetrating the defenses of the little wizards.

The spot by the fireplace suddenly became popular. Senior students from various colleges also gave full play to their subjective initiative and created various "jar fires" to help everyone ward off the cold.

Once this miraculous application of magic was invented, it quickly became popular. During this time, wherever the young wizards at Hogwarts went, they would carry a small jar with a burning flame in their robes.

Tom also has a "jar fire" that Hermione helped him make. This little magic spell Hermione knew how to use when she first went to school, and now she is even more proficient in it. The fire ball she conjured lasted the longest, and it was not a problem for a ball of fire to burn for an entire morning.

However, in this weather, even with the blessing of "jar fire", going to class outside the castle is extremely painful. The Herbology class was okay, the temperature in the greenhouse was not much different from indoors, but the Care of Magical Creatures class was quite painful.

Fortunately, Newt noticed this and changed the teaching plan to arrange the lessons on salamanders and ash snakes in the days after Christmas.

These two magical animals have one thing in common: a connection with fire.

Salamanders are small lizards that live in fire and feed on fire. All Newt had to do was light a bonfire and move his salamanders into it. He didn't have to do anything next, he just had to happily watch the little wizards collecting firewood and fallen leaves, and watch them add these things to the campfire. He also had to pick out those branches that were too wet to avoid creating too much smoke.

The little wizards were very interested in these little creatures and spent the whole class watching them jumping around in the burning firewood. After they burn the fire, the color of the salamander will change with the temperature of the flame. It will be dazzling white at first, and then turn to blue or bright red.

The Ash Snake course is much more dangerous, which is why Newt has the confidence to offer this course. The Ash Snake was born from "demon fire". The so-called "magic fire" is a flame with magic substances such as floo powder added to it.

It is not difficult to give birth to the Fire Ash Snake. As long as this pile of magic fire is allowed to burn unchecked, the Fire Ash Snake will be created. This process is quite tiring. Before the Ash Snake class started, Newt stayed up all night to get ready.

Among the various magical substances for breeding fire-ash snakes, Floo powder is the cheapest, so Newt also chose Floo powder. He first found a big fire pit, and then he spent the whole night adding firewood and floo powder to the fire pit. By the time class started, the Ash Snake was almost born.

Newt wanted every young wizard to witness the birth of the Ash Serpent, but he overestimated his own energy: he was too old, and his energy and physical strength could not support the early preparations, and he was worried about letting the students Let's do these things. Magic fire is very dangerous, and it is also very important to control the timing of the appearance of the ash snake. Only an experienced master of magical animals like him can do it. He didn't feel comfortable letting the students do it.

So in the end, only the third-year students in Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff got the chance to watch the birth of the Ash Serpent. As for other students, Newt said that everyone was welcome to come and observe, but only a few responded. Those students either have classes or are too lazy to come down. Between watching the birth of the Ash Snake and getting an extra hour of sleep in the morning, they chose to sleep in a little longer.

Don’t blame them for being lazy – there are still light snowflakes floating in the sky today! When Tom saw this kind of weather when he woke up in the morning, he subconsciously wanted to skip school. Because it means standing outside in the snow for two hours. The danger of the ash snake made Newt refuse to teach indoors. Even if it was snowing, he insisted on giving lectures on the lawn outside the castle.

Tom and Hermione followed their classmates to the lawn outside the castle. All were wrapped in thick cloaks and gloves, and carried a jar of fire in their arms. In order to keep warm, the girls gave up their usual sports shoes and square-top leather shoes and put on the boots they had prepared long ago to prevent the cold air from eroding their pink feet.

When they arrived, Newt was already standing in the snow.

When everyone saw Newt, they were shocked by the professor's state: he looked very haggard. His hair became disheveled, with a lot of charcoal ash and burnt hair hanging on it. His eyes were bloodshot, his cheeks were sunken, and his skin had a smoky feeling.

"It takes a lot of energy to artificially breed fire-ash snakes. You are lucky, because I probably won't try to breed this magical animal again. It's too tiring..." Newt smiled bitterly and shook his head. His gray hair swayed in the wind as he explained to the students why he was so haggard.

At this time, Hufflepuff students also came over one after another, but in the crowd, Tom saw a familiar figure who should not be here.

"Luna? Why are you here? Don't you have classes in the morning?" Tom was a little shocked, but thinking of Luna's love for magical animals, he felt that it was normal to see Luna here.

"There are two Potions classes in the morning." Luna looked a little dazed, as if she hadn't slept well.

Tom:!

Students nearby who heard the conversation between the two: Σ(っ°Д°;)っ

Everyone was shocked by Luna: Is this school girl so brave? Dare to skip Snape's class?

Many people looked at Luna with awe in their eyes. Dare to skip Snape's class, warrior!

"The appearance of the Ash Snake and the process of laying eggs are very rare. I don't want to miss it." Luna explained a little. For her, some things are trade-offs. And she felt that even if she skipped Potions class today, there would be no serious consequences.

At this time, the students were almost here. Professor Scamander clapped his hands and asked everyone to quiet down. "Children, I took you to observe salamanders in the last class, and I left you with homework to preview the ash snake." …I believe many of you have guessed that the magical animal we are going to learn today is the ash snake. The lesson about the ash snake is very dangerous, so I hope you can cheer up during the class.”

"We have a special guest in Care of Magical Creatures today, let's welcome Professor Snape!"

Everyone drew 0, ah no, Ayato? I fired 80 rounds before shipping, but the breakthrough materials were not enough, so I only raised them to level 80 - Inazuma's samurai are too poor!

I hope everyone can withdraw money ten times in a row.
