The latest chapter in the Harry Potter Bastard novel

Early the next morning.

Solim yawned with two dark circles under his eyes as he walked towards the auditorium. He only slept for three hours, not because he didn’t have energy potions, but because he knew that it was no good to drink too much of that kind of thing, and if he could not drink it, he would not drink it.

As soon as he returned from Dumbledore, he opened the Marauder’s map and looked at it for hours. Carefully distinguishing each name on it, Solim did not see unfamiliar names on the map, the Gryffindor common room was his focus on the place, he even saw Peter Pettigrew in Harry and Ron’s bedroom, but Neville was no one else except his three roommates.

However, for smart wizards, the Concealment Charm and the Anti-Tracking Charm are compulsory. Just because it’s not on the map doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. The best way to do that is to find the toad and see what it is.

The students entered the Great Hall one after another to prepare for breakfast, and Solim saw that Neville and several people happened to be there, and he walked straight to the Gryffindor table.

“My God, Solim, didn’t you sleep last night? You look terrible. Hermione found that Solim was in a bad mental state, and his whole body was languishing.

“Let’s not talk about this, Neville, you come with me.” Solim called Neville aside, he didn’t want anyone else to know about it.

Neville followed Solim to an unoccupied corridor outside the auditorium.

“Neville, let me ask you something.” Solim didn’t drag the mud and water, “That toad of yours, the toad named Leifu that your uncle gave you, where is it now?” ”

Neville was stunned for a moment, he didn’t think that Solim had called him over to ask about it. But he told Solim the truth.

Neville’s toad really didn’t behave very normally. Neville usually can’t find it, every time Neville tries to find it, but the toad will actively appear in Neville’s sight after a while. Whenever Neville woke up from sleep, he couldn’t see the toad, and according to Neville, every time the toad appeared, it was after returning to the lounge at night.

After listening to Neville’s description, Solim pondered for a while, and said to Neville: “In this way, don’t tell anyone about this first, you write down the pattern of the toad’s disappearance, whether it appears every time when you are about to rest.” ”

Then Solim added: “You don’t have to care about that toad, how you usually treat it and how you treat it, I have something to figure out first, okay, let’s go back.” ”

At breakfast, Solim had been thinking about the toad. Every time it disappears and appears is regular, it is basically not seen during the day, and when Neville is going to rest in the evening, it appears. So where did it go when it disappeared?

Solim began to comb through everything he knew about the toad in his mind. The toad, named Leif, was a gift from Uncle Aguil of Neville. What does this person Agil do? Solim knew that there were indeed several Longbottoms who worked in some subordinate institutions of the Council of Elders, but it was not clear what position Solim was, and this still needed to be asked by Elrond.

If it is true that the toad is a brilliant animagus, as Solim thought, then it is definitely not a good idea to contact him rashly. For the last wizard who knew Animagus, Solim could be sure that he would never have any chance.

A wizard who can transform Animagus must be a master of transformation. Such a wizard, as long as he is not in the form of Animagus, can turn Solim into an animal through malicious transformation in an instant. Once that happens, Solim stops.

Of course, whether that toad is an Animagus or not is not certain, maybe it just has the bloodline of some magical creatures. Solim may need to ask some professionals for their opinions, fortunately, Professor Kettleburn is still at Hogwarts, although he will retire next year and will be taken over by Hagrid in his third year, but when it comes to magical creatures, Professor Kettleburn is the absolute authority.

Sivanos Keitelborn, a name that, like Newt Scamander, is an authority on magical creatures. There was little he didn’t know and didn’t know about magical creatures, and Solim believed he knew more than Hagrid had to know about magical creatures, and if he went to Professor Kettleburn himself, he should be able to get a definite answer.

If that toad is just a special bloodline, then naturally nothing happens. But if it was really an Animagus who had infiltrated Hogwarts, Solim would have to think long-term. After all, Solim can be said to know nothing about this toad, this is not the characters and stories he is familiar with, he needs to be more cautious.

Solim would be nervous about this toad, naturally it makes sense.

Yes, Solim was safe at Hogwarts and under Dumbledore’s nose, but not completely. Hogwarts is just a school, and if someone outside really wants to come in, the school’s protective measures are not of much use. After all, everyone knows that this is Dumbledore’s territory, and the wizards who can break in and dare to break in under this premise are definitely not easy to match. The wizard who dared to illegally invade Hogwarts definitely had the confidence not to be discovered, or the confidence to escape from a great wizard like Dumbledore, otherwise what would he do? Give away heads?

There are very few wizards in the ordinary wizarding world who can meet this standard.

If that toad was really a wizard related to the Presbyterian Council, then what was his motivation for infiltrating Hogwarts? Spy on Dumbledore? Or is it just to see the Philosopher’s Stone not being stolen this year? Or maybe you want to do something at Hogwarts?

If this wizard is from the Presbytery, then which family is he? Will it be related to the Ritchie family? Will you attack yourself at the right time?

Solim felt that he was scaring himself, but Solim did not dare to rule out this possibility. This kind of thing is not afraid of guessing wrong, I am afraid of guessing correctly. If that toad was really a wizard, what should he do? Solim doesn’t know the Animagus spell, which is very, very biased. Its only function is to force an Animagus to be active, and nothing else. Studying now? Considering the difficulty of Animagus’ transformation, presumably the difficulty of mastering this spell will not be much lower, and Solim does not have the confidence to master it in a short time.

Then you can only find someone to help, and the first thing that comes to Solim’s mind is Snape. After all, Snape still had to ask for him, and Solim believed that Snape would be interested in a wizard who might illegally invade the school.

Now the key is how to catch that toad, if it is really a wizard, it is not easy to catch him. Maybe you can think of something on the food, that toad always has to eat.

After attending Professor Flevy’s Charms class and Professor Sprout’s herbal medicine class in the morning, Solim decisively dismissed Professor Binns’ History of Magic in the afternoon. If you have time to be in a daze in Professor Binns’ class, it is better to go to Kettleburn and ask about the toad.

After all, Professor Binns was an outstanding representative of scripted learning, and the students who could persevere in his classes from beginning to end without getting sleepy were cattle, and Solim only knew that Hermione could hear from beginning to end in Professor Binns’ class without deserting.

There are two classes in school that Solim does not attend. One is flying lessons, which are not examined, and Solim doesn’t like riding broomsticks either. There is also Professor Binns’ History of Magic, Professor Binns, a ghost, who taught History of Magic since the founding of Hogwarts, and has been teaching until now. But his way of teaching is to follow the book, and the students are doing something else in his classes. Few students in the history of magic would listen carefully at all, just like Solim used to take the political exam, and he only started the assault when the exam was almost over.

Solim went to find Kettleburn near the Forbidden Forest after lunch, Solim inquired, he was going to give a lesson to the fifth grade in the afternoon, this time should be preparing magical creatures, Solim decided to visit Kettleburn before the afternoon class.
