Chapter 209: Sniffing Competition
Although this interesting scene during breakfast time attracted the attention of many people, the little wizards were not very enthusiastic about discussing this scene.
The main topic of discussion between Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw still revolves around the Triwizard Tournament. The four warriors all used very creative ways to enter the water in the second event, which made them look forward to what surprises the warriors would bring them in the third event.
At the Slytherin table, Draco looked at Harry's back as he covered his hands and left, smacking his mouth in disdain. He suddenly realized -
I used to be really naive, and I actually regarded a person like Harry as my number one imaginary enemy...
Just because of his failed attempt to make friends on the train, he actually developed a desire to take revenge on Harry...
And when he spent a lot of time and energy on Harry, he completely ignored that his brother had grown up to this point quietly...
The people who are most familiar with Xie Lin's strength are actually Draco and Eleanor. Others may still be immersed in appreciation and admiration for Xie Lin's performance in the Triwizard Tournament, but Draco knows very well that possessing him What kind of state did that ancestor reach? The same is true for Eleanor. She has personally fought against Barbarossa, and she also knows very well what level of strength Barbarossa is at.
No one else knew it, but these two people knew it very well - Xie Lin had defeated the Quasi-Magister!
This is the thought that has been lingering in the minds of these two people in recent days.
Draco clenched his fists under the table. He knew that it was time for him to grow up - it might be unrealistic to catch up with Sherrin, but he would never let himself stay in a petty fight with Potter. For the first time, the desire to truly become stronger took root in his heart, waiting for it to sprout in the future.
The afternoon class is Care of Magical Creatures.
When the little wizards of Slytherin walked to Hagrid's hut together, they found that one person was missing from Gryffindor. Harry seemed not to have arrived yet, probably because the injury on his hand was quite serious.
Last Monday, Hagrid had returned to his teaching position and took over Professor Guerra-Plan's progress.
Perhaps because he wanted to prove that what Professor Grubblan could do, he, Hagrid, could also do it, so he did not continue his teaching on Blast-Ended Skrewts, but continued Professor Grubblan's lesson on unicorns. Go down. It turned out that Hagrid knew as much about unicorns as he did about trolls, and even Draco and Pansy, who had always disliked Hagrid, couldn't find any fault with his teachings.
At the end of the last class, Hagrid told them that they had finished teaching about unicorns. Now he was standing outside the hut waiting for the students, with some open cardboard boxes at his feet that they had never seen before.
Draco frowned, pointed at the cardboard boxes with dissatisfaction and said, "Tsk, tsk, look what that is? Could it be a newly hatched nest of fire-breathing lobster monsters?"
Xie Lin smiled faintly and said: "Brother, don't rush to a conclusion. Don't each of us learn from our mistakes? Even if Professor Hagrid doesn't look very smart, with Gulla-Plan In contrast to the professor's performance, Hagrid is not so stupid that he is completely unaware of the fact that he has lost his heart in front of the students, right?"
"Besides, as Dumbledore's valued right-hand man, I dare say that Dumbledore must have had a good talk with him -" Sherrin curled his lips, "Hagrid must also have known about his previous teachings. What’s wrong with the teaching methods and content chosen?”
"That's better," Draco snorted.
"Don't worry, if Professor Hagrid still refuses to repent, I will use the power of the Faculty Appointment Committee to replace him!" Xie Lin's eyes flashed with a cold light, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly. As his strength has improved day by day, he has become much less afraid of Dumbledore, and he no longer needs to be as timid and hesitant as before when doing things.
Voldemort and Dumbledore, to put it bluntly, are simply terrifying in their own strength.
What are Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix all about - down-and-out werewolves, lame retired Aurors, clumsy new Aurors, sneaky and abducted hoodlums? Except for Professor McGonagall and his close friend Effias Dorje, there are really few people who are worthy of the spotlight.
As for the Death Eaters, not to mention, they are all a group of extras with the mentality of "I am here to work." Antonin Dolohov and Bellatrix are not the only ones who are truly loyal and worthy of the stage. Lestrange?
Xie Lin clearly understood the situation. As long as he showed enough strength to compete with Deng Fu and Deng Fu, it didn't matter even if he was slightly inferior. As long as he could hold them off for a few minutes, it was enough - Xie Lin's camp had strong soldiers and food. The Aurors, Strikers, and Reconnaissance Teams who are indirectly affected by him are already difficult to deal with, plus the Vampire Royal Family, the Six Dominatrix Clans, the Silver Spear Duelists, Snape, and Ka Karloff's strength is enough to crush the other two sides, not to mention that he also has intelligence advantages such as the Auror Intelligence Department, Trace Detection, and Divination Master.
A real war is never a matter of time. Winning or losing a battle actually doesn't matter to the overall situation.
The real outcome actually depends on the adequacy of resources and the foresight of intelligence.
Voldemort didn't talk about it first, but he talked about Dumbledore.
In the original book, after Dumbledore's death, the leaderless Order of the Phoenix was simply not what it looked like. In "The Battle of the Seven Potters", it was just a matter of moving Harry from Little Whinging in Surrey to the Burrow in Devon. , it actually took a lot of trouble to use 6 people as bait to distract attention, and in the end, because of the lack of intelligence capabilities, he was ambushed by more than 30 Death Eaters, thus saving Moody's life. And don’t forget, one of the members of the Order of the Phoenix is dying, and there is almost no replacement.
If the Order of the Phoenix were to be led by Schelling, they could have obtained a recycled door key from the Ministry of Magic, or even used a vanishing cabinet for a completely safe transfer. This is a crushing of resources. It can be said that the logistics of the Order of the Phoenix are not strong enough!
The reason that really made Schelling reluctant to break up with Dumbledore was because Schelling owed Dumbledore a favor. He did accept the fragment of Abatail that was given by Dumbledore. And he also got his guidance on the secrets of the Chidan Loyalty Curse and bloodline fusion. Repaying kindness with hatred was not Schelling's style.
Forget it, let’s find an opportunity to return the favor first.
Everyone got closer to the box and took a look, only to find that there were many furry black guys inside. A long nose and mouth protruded forward from the black face. It looked a bit like a duck's bill, but the nostrils were at the end of the nose and mouth. . Its front paws are flat, like shovels, which is very strange. They looked up and blinked at the class, seemingly confused by the attention of so many people.
"These are Nifflers," Hagrid and other students gathered together and said, "You can usually see them in mines. They like shiny things...here, look."
A Niffler suddenly jumped up and tried to bite the watch off Pansy Parkinson's wrist. Pansy screamed and backed away.
"Very useful little treasure detectors," Hagrid said happily, "We can have fun with them today. Do you see that there?" He pointed to a large piece of newly opened land, "I buried it there. A few gold coins. I will give a prize to whoever picks the Sniff and digs out the most gold coins. You take off all the valuable things on your body, then pick a Sniff and let them go."
The little wizards all took turns to step forward and pick out Sniff. In fact, the Sniffs all looked similar, and most of the little wizards picked them at random.
I don't know why, but since Schelling mastered the snake-like Animagus, he has found that he seems to have some indescribable temperament. If he is willing, he can even tell the gender of magical animals from the breath they exude. , emotions and aggression, as if he suddenly had some kind of beast-like intuition that only magical animals have.
Xie Lin blinked, and his pupils suddenly stood up in the blink of an eye, turning into a pair of snake eyes, and then returned to their original shape in the blink of an eye. No one among the little wizards present noticed the changes in Xie Lin's body.
Xie Lin stretched out his hand, picked out a short sniffer, handed it to Daphne, and then picked another sniffer at will.
