A day at Hogwarts

"You mean, this phoenix is ​​the owner of the core of your wand, and it flew over to look for you by itself last night?"

"You let it stay in the mountains first, and you want to talk to me today before deciding whether to take it in or not?"

Dumbledore was dubious about Charles' explanation, but without delay he fed Ruby the same treats as the others.

Then the cockroach pile was despised.

Lao Deng and Fox had known each other for many years, and thought they knew Fenghuang's habits very well, but this was the first time he had seen Fenghuang who was so fat and came to the door with a rice bowl in his mouth.

This is not to blame for Dumbledore. Phoenixes are rare and difficult to tame. Except for this fat guy, the only phoenixes that have been tamed so far are his Fox and Sparks, the mascot of the New Zealand Quidditch team Mottola Macaws. Research samples too little.

Newt had already taken out his pen and notebook, and sat aside to record.

The others didn't think too much about it. They knew that Ruby was hungry after seeing the rice bowl in her mouth, so they took out the snacks they brought and fed it.

At this time, Charles was busy in the cafeteria of the community. After a brief explanation with the principal, he came here with a rice bowl to prepare food.

The cafeteria staff didn't stop him, and even helped him out for the sake of tips.

Charles took them to find chicken legs, washed them, cut them and spread them out, then patted them with the back of a knife to loosen and cut off the tendons, then marinated them with white pepper, starch, eggs, and the soy sauce and cooking wine sent by Dean Huang last night. Fry over high heat for a few minutes until golden on both sides and about six times done. Then they heat the oil in the pan, put black pepper, onion, ginger, sugar, salt and some spices recommended by the chef to replace the onion and garlic, and fry until fragrant. Put the chicken legs in and cook. Finally, take out the chicken legs and put them on a plate, and put the chopped bell peppers in the soup and cook them on top.

From this day on, there is an extra "Charles Chicken Drumstick" on Waggadu's dining table.

Everyone in Hogwarts began to study the matter of free hunting amidst the smell of chicken legs and the sound of Ruby eating chicken legs.

Dumbledore said to everyone: "Wagadu's actions are related to the internal situation of the International Federation of Wizards. The Ministry of Magic of African countries has contributed to the latter, intending to use the opportunity to let Babajid Akinbad seek higher reputation."

"There is not much conspiracy behind Free Hunting. It is just to find something for us to do, to increase the difficulty, and to create some conflicts between us magic schools."

Charles frowned slightly when he heard it. Although Old Deng said it lightly, he quickly understood the meaning.

The education system of wizards is doomed that behind the magic schools under the system of the International Federation of Wizards are the Ministry of Magic of the country where the students are recruited. Now that Africa wants to increase the right to speak, it is natural to prevent other countries from uniting against themselves and making schools 1. Contradictions among students are the easiest way to deepen conflicts among the Ministry of Magic of various countries.

Although this method seems unreliable, if it works, even if it doesn't work, there will be no loss anyway.

Dumbledore continued: "Now Beauxbaton and Durmstrang have agreed to help us. Similarly, the Magic Institute has received help from Ilvermorny, and Kodos Torrez has received help from Castrobusher and others. .”

"I have communicated with Takao Takao, the principal of the Magic Institute, and Nikita, the principal of Kodos Torrez. Everyone should be polite when they meet students from other schools in Moon Mountain, and don't cause unnecessary conflicts."

A group of students expressed their understanding, and Charles shook his head in his heart. In his previous life, when he was playing online games, there were many disputes caused by robbing monsters. The fact that the principals were harmonious did not mean that the students were also harmonious when they were fighting monsters.

Next, Olivia took out two lists of materials, which were the medicinal materials she listed last night.

"We need the eight herbs on this list." Olivia pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose, "They are irreplaceable, and there are alternatives for everything else."

"Although these herbs on the other table can be substituted, it's best to prepare them too, which can save a lot of trouble."

At this time, the role of Seamo and others came into play.

Dumbledore didn't let the five members of the team go to collect materials. Seamus and his ten members plus Charles went into the mountain to hunt monsters. They were in a team of two, Charles and Ruby in a team.

At this time, Newt took out a map to Dumbledore, and said, "I promised the owner of the map would not show it to you, but I accidentally dropped it on the ground. If you find it, return it to me quickly."

This is a resource distribution map of Moon Mountain and the nearby Congo tropical rainforest. It belongs to an old professor of Ouagadou. I don’t know why I lent it to Newt.

Everyone in the room laughed under their breath. No one thought that the old professor had decided that Newt would not show Dumbledore the map from the very beginning.

Everyone got busy very quickly. Charles took two packs of A4 paper, first put together to copy the whole map, and then the small map of the required materials.

Instead of going to the cafeteria at lunch, Charles brought it back in his bag.

At two o'clock in the afternoon, Dumbledore began to cast spells, and the walls around the hall on the first floor receded to the distance. The space suddenly became much larger, and many chairs appeared, one of which was particularly large.

At about ten minutes and three o'clock, Beauxbaton's principal Maxim and Durmstrang's principal Karkaroff came with their students, they were the allies Dumbledore had found.

The meeting, which was supposed to start at three o'clock, was delayed by fifteen minutes because the guests were watching Ruby.

Dumbledore kept smiling from the sidelines. The tears of the phoenix can heal serious injuries and detoxify poison in a short time. Fox didn't bring it to protect Harry. Now that he has Charles' ruby, he believes that allies can cooperate with him with more confidence.

A boy from Beauxbatons asked Charles, "May I pet it?"

Seeing that he was the one who said bad things about Fleur before lunch yesterday and owed him and Fleur gold coins, Charles shook his head and refused.

After watching the rubies for a while, the meeting began. Dumbledore first thanked the two brother schools for their help, then took out the map prepared in the morning, and began to discuss how to achieve good results in this free hunting competition.

Dumbledore gave up Hogwarts to win the Free Hunt to focus on the all-important Potions Tournament. Now that the three parties have reached an agreement, Hogwarts will go to the Potions Tournament if they need it, and the other two will go to the other two if they don't.

Although Dumbledore said all of these things, Charles saw Karkaroff's proud expression and thought that he should have proposed it. Working in this small competition made his school shine.

Karkaroff noticed Charles looking at him and turned to look at him.

Charles just smiled politely and ignored the former Death Eater.

The matter of cooperation was quickly finished. After all, the most important thing in this matter is the attitude of the bosses. If they are fine, the students will naturally be fine.

Next, Newt Scamander told the students about the magical animals in Moon Mountain, such as the rune snake, Tebo warthog, color-changing giant snail, African tree snake, etc., and described their living environment, ability and coping Measures come together.

"You have to pay special attention to the cheetah." Newt has the transformation technique to change the glass into the shape of the cheetah. "The cheetah is extremely dangerous. The gas they emit when they are frightened and hunting is very poisonous. Enough to easily poison a village."

Everyone listened carefully, because there were fewer venomous leopards than phoenixes, and the only person who had domesticated venomous leopards was Newt.

Charles suddenly trembled in his heart, feeling that something was going to happen.

Newt continued: "But everyone, don't worry, leopards generally live in East Africa, and rarely come to Moon Mountain."

Charles felt that the chances of an accident were greater.

After the meeting, Charles took the ruby ​​back to his dormitory, closed the doors and windows and asked it pleasantly: "Can you give me a little tear?"

Since he had a premonition that something was going to happen, he had to make preparations first. Naturally, the Phoenix Tears, which were useful in both healing and detoxification, had to be prepared.

Ruby yelped and nodded.

Charles smiled and took out a washbasin from his bag.

Ruby jumped up and gave him a righteous kick.
