The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts
v3 Chapter 75: I must learn the Patronus Spell!
"It's a good harvest!" Tom's fat sniffle was very conscious, and before Tom could lift its hind legs, he took out his apron and took out three rings, a necklace, and two pairs of earrings.
Tom picked up these golden jewelry and found that there was only a layer of gold foil on the surface. He scratched his fingernail a little 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 shove them all into the ground, not even counting the number.
Tom stroked Sniff's fleshy head, satisfied with its performance.
"It's time, I'll see how you guys are doing, and let me count your jewelry," Newt glanced at the time, seeing that it was almost time for get out of class, so he walked up to the students and began to count them harvest.
"At the moment, Ravenclaw's Tom Yodell and Hufflepuff's Justin are tied for first place, and there are six pieces of jewelry." Tom met the most humane sniff, and took the initiative. He turned in his harvest, and Justin Finchley took out his watch to bribe Sniff, and traded the watch for six accessories. After all, it's just an old watch that can't go well, and Justin doesn't care much.
The fat sniffle in front of Tom tilted his head and watched all this. After a little thought, he took out a small ring from his pocket.
"Seven! Mr. Yodel'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 chubby sniff the winner.
Although it is very Buddhist about winning and losing at the beginning, it is not a bad thing to be able to win. Tom rubbed his sniff's little head to show his affection, and then stuffed the trinkets on the ground back into Fat Sniff's arms.
This time, people and sniffers were very happy, making the next to sniffle very jealous.
But when he touched the last ring that Sniff had offered to hand over, 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 the weight of the rings just now, and combined with the traces left by the years on the surface of the ring, Tom judged that this ring might be the real treasure dug by Fat Sniff!
He calmly held the ring in his hand, then took a gold Galleon from his arms and stuffed it into Fat Sniff. Fat Sniffle was a little puzzled, but Jin Galleon gagged, so it recognized it.
Almost no one notices this little detail.
"Ten Ravenclaw, Yordle, this is your prize." Newt gave Tom a bag of "Beast Candy" as a reward. This candy will make various animal sounds when eaten.
"Kids, return all the sniffs," Newt opened the gate of the cage, feeling a little nervous. He was a little worried that Sniff would get lost in the middle. Twenty-four. This is the number of sniffs he gave out.
The little wizards swarmed forward and gave Newt the sniffles in their hands and those of their friends.
"Twenty-two, twenty-three, twenty-four... Twenty-five?" After the last little wizard handed his sniff to Newt, Newt was dumbfounded: he borrowed twenty-four, Twenty-five came back?
One more!
Sniffing is not a loan, you can still earn interest if you release it. There's a wild sniff in here!
It's just that the scene was too chaotic, all the sniffers were covered with dirt, and Newt couldn't tell which one was just the sniffers. He can only put the sniffers in the cage first, and then check carefully after returning to the office.
"Okay, get out of class!" Newt waved his hand and hurried away with the suitcase in his hand.
Tom looked at the bag of colorful candies in his hand and was speechless: Candy? This doesn't fit your status as a Newt Scamander magical zoologist! Tom had thought Newt would come up with something related to Fantastic Beasts as a prize—like unicorn tail feathers, ptarmigan tail feathers, etc.
"Come on, eat candy!" Lele alone is not as good as all Lele. Tom opened the candy bag and let all the students around him taste the piece of candy. For a while, all the animals outside the forbidden forest chirped in unison. Ducks, dogs, elephants... all kinds of sounds came one after another.
Tom ate a piece of candy himself, and the next moment he spit out a tiger roar, covering up Hermione's meowing.
After the lively parting of the candy, the little wizards gradually dispersed, leaving only Hermione and Tom behind.
"It's still a while before the next class, do you want to find a place to practice the Patronus Charm?" Hermione made a good suggestion.
"Gee-chae-"
"Hey you--"
"Cuckoo!"
"Hmph, hum-"
Tom ate several candies at once, and the sounds of various animals came out of his mouth one after another.
Hermione now understands what "chicken and duck talk", but in desperation, she dragged Tom directly to the greenhouse outside the castle. The next class was Professor Sprout's herbal medicine class, and the conservatory area was always secluded, so there would be no delays in class, and no one would disturb them to practice the Patronus Charm.
"I, Hermione Granger, swear to God, I must teach you the Patronus Charm!" It seemed that something stimulated Hermione, and she suddenly swore as she walked.
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 all at once. Yes. But when it comes to your side...how could it be..."
She did not go on.
But the meaning is already obvious: isn't my experience with you happy enough?
Tom:!
He wanted to explain something, but in front of the facts, his words were too weak and pale.
Tom shuddered, "I will definitely summon the Patronus!" he assured, patting his chest.
[Random Mission Trigger: Successfully Summons the Patronus
Mission reward: Hermione skin (cat) unlocked]
Another unexpected ecstasy! Tom's already very firm idea became stronger~lightnovelpub.net~ Outside the greenhouse, Tom took out his wand and seriously recalled the happy scene in his mind.
"God Guard!" He felt a heat wave rippling in his chest, and the sweet taste was sweeter than honey.
At the moment when the magic let go, Tom felt that the Patronus Charm was absolutely certain, but what was unexpected was that this time, a silver mist was sprayed from the tip of the staff.
Hermione: …
Tom: ?
Shouldn't it be? I was clearly sure of it just now?
Tom looked at the silver mist that was gradually dissipating, confused.
