Chapter 349 Big Project? Planetary Movement
In the dark dormitory, Aaron suddenly opened his eyes, and a purple light flashed in his black pupils.
"So that's it!"
Aaron covered his face and tried his best to suppress his laughter, but he couldn't help it.
He always thought that this kind of magic was related to charm, but after learning it, he realized that the principle of this magic was quite similar to hypnosis.
However, he used magic to affect consciousness and subconsciousness, without the help of any props, and just glanced over and it was done.
Although it didn't have much effect on people who were stronger and more determined than him, it was already a magical skill for ordinary people.
It cost 500 magic points to add a top hypnotist to the secondary job, which was a good deal!
Aaron woke up Abe who was lying in the basket, with purple light flashing in his pupils, "Take out the snacks you stockpiled."
Abe was stunned for a moment, subconsciously covered his pockets tightly, and then shook his head.
Aaron blinked blankly, thinking that the effect of charm magic on magical animals was limited, but he didn't know if it would work on ordinary animals.
......
The next day, Hogwarts started classes as normal.
In the Care of Magical Creatures class, Hagrid took out several open wooden boxes, which contained the animals that Gryffindor and Slytherin needed to know about in this class.
Aaron looked at the slimy creatures in the box that looked like lobsters that had just been peeled off their shells, and did not hide his disgust in his eyes.
He had to admit that the creatures in the magical world could always refresh his cognition.
These creatures were only a dozen centimeters long and had no heads, but they had the characteristics of scorpions and crabs, and exuded a strong odor.
"Hagrid... Professor, excuse me, what is this disgusting thing?"
"This is a newly hatched blasting-tailed skrewt, Aaron." Hagrid explained with a smile, "It is a cross between a human-headed sphinx and a fire crab."
Bang!
A spark flashed, followed by a faint explosion.
"Sparks will shoot out of the tail of the blasting-tailed skrewts, which will push them forward." Hagrid said with a flash of pride in his eyes, "You can raise them yourself, and they will come in handy for a big project."
"Why should we raise them?" Draco asked puzzledly, "What are they used for?"
"Ah this..."
Hagrid was a little embarrassed for a moment, and seemed to not know what to say.
"Draco." Aaron winked at him, "This question is not important."
"At least you have to know why you raise this thing?"
Aaron rolled his eyes, then looked at him and his lips moved slightly, without making any sound.
But Draco's pupils were slightly dilated, because he barely understood Aaron's lip language: big project.
So far, the only big project related to Hogwarts is the Triwizard Tournament, which means that the blasting-tailed skrewts will appear in the project of the Triwizard Tournament.
After figuring this out, Draco immediately shut up and stopped asking.
Knowing the test questions in advance, the blasting-tailed skrewt became adorable in his eyes, and even Hagrid, the comrade who leaked the test questions, became more pleasing to the eye.
"Hagrid, how do we raise it?" Harry stepped forward to smooth things over, giving Hagrid a way out.
"I haven't raised them much before." Hagrid smiled honestly, "But these creatures generally like to eat the same things, ant eggs, frog liver, green snakes, just try them out and you'll know."
"Are there any precautions?" Draco asked seriously.
Hearing this, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all in disbelief, and even Crabbe and Goyle were a little dumbfounded.
Is this still Malfoy? When did he become so polite?
Hagrid was also stunned for a moment before reacting. He was also surprised why Malfoy changed his personality, but as a professor, he still had to answer students' questions seriously.
"Of course there are some precautions. First, their tails will explode. Secondly, the male skrewts have thorns on their bodies, and the females have suction cups on their bellies, which may be used to suck blood.
So be careful when feeding them, and try not to touch them."
Draco's mouth twitched slightly. He just wanted to understand the test questions, but it can burn people, sting people, and bite people... It's normal for this creature to appear in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class!
"Hagrid, you still like these dangerous creatures as before." Aaron smiled far-fetchedly.
"They are not dangerous now." Hagrid said seriously, "A few inches long, a slap can kill them."
"How big can they grow?" Hermione asked.
"Not that exaggerated." Hagrid waved his hand calmly, "At most about ten feet."
"Ten..."
Hermione's eyes widened in shock. She looked at the densely packed skrewts in the box, and her scalp tingled.
Now they are only the size of a finger, but later their size will increase dozens of times, and they will be monsters!
After class, the students of the two colleges left Hagrid's hut and returned to Hogwarts Castle.
"It's disgusting. I can't believe I would feed even more disgusting creatures with such disgusting things." Draco walked into the bathroom and said with disgust while washing his hands.
"I hope there will be some reward, otherwise I will have nightmares."
"Can there be any reward?" Crabbe asked doubtfully.
"Stupid, these blasting-tailed skrewts are prepared for big projects, which means they can be seen at the Triwizard Tournament."
"Really?" Goyle asked.
"It's almost certain. Hagrid is simple-minded, strong-limbed, and has no control over his mouth." Draco smiled confidently, "But we may be the only ones who can notice this. Don't tell anyone."
Crabbe and Goyle looked at each other and nodded solemnly, "We promise not to tell anyone."
"You are not really planning to participate in the Triwizard Tournament, are you?" Aaron asked playfully.
"I didn't want to participate originally, but the Ministry of Magic guaranteed that there would be no danger to life, and there was no limit on the number of participants, so this opportunity could not be missed." Draco said proudly, "I don't expect to win the championship. Although I don't want to admit it, I am not a match for those senior wizards.
But Harry Potter will probably participate, as well as Granger and Weasley. I don't want them to be in the spotlight."
Hearing this, Aaron smiled and shook his head, "Good luck."
"Wait, you won't decide not to participate after all?" Draco was a little puzzled, "With your strength, even those senior wizards can compete."
"It's a lie to say that I'm not interested, but I really don't think it's necessary." Aaron said very bluntly, "Also, don't be too happy too early. We only have the right to register, and we don't know if we can be selected!"
Draco scratched his head, "Forget it, there's still a month before the Triwizard Tournament, you can think about it slowly."
Aaron shrugged, it was impossible to consider it, he always stayed away from the show that was in the spotlight.
After lunch, it was Professor Trelawney's divination class.
The crystal ball was the content of last semester, and this time she would teach some new content.
"Dear, we should study the stars.
The movement of the planets and the mysterious signs they show can only be understood by those who understand the rules of the dance steps of the sky. The fate of mankind can be deciphered through the radiation light of the planets, which blend with each other..."
Aaron listened very seriously. Although he didn't understand these mysterious words, it didn't mean that they were worthless.
Observing the sky at night is just four simple words, but if you can involve the movement of constellations and seasonal changes, you will have some confidence to fool people in the future.
Professor Trelawney gave everyone a complex circular chart to fill in the position of the planets when they were born.
This task made everyone look sad, which meant that they had to spend a lot of time calculating the angles of the planets.
"I have two Neptunes here." Harry said with a bitter face, "But it seems not right. Professor Trelawney said that when I was born, I was affected by the ominous influence of Saturn, and that star dominated."
"Don't listen to the nonsense of that old bat. She even predicted your birthday wrong." Ron said impatiently.
"There is only one Neptune." Aaron put down the quill and said indifferently, "Your birth can actually give birth to a star in the universe. Merlin will probably cry when he sees you."
Puff!
Ron patted Harry's shoulder with a smile, "The appearance of two Neptunes in the sky indicates that a little man wearing glasses is about to be born, hahaha..."
Ron just laughed for a few seconds, and a thin face appeared in front of him, startling him and falling off the chair.
"Mr. Weasley." Professor Trelawney blinked, "I just heard you say that a little man with glasses was born. You are not referring to me, are you?"
"No, Professor."
"Have you finished the drawing?"
"Not yet, Professor." Ron said guiltily, there was not a single planet on his chart.
"Mr. Weasley." Professor Trelawney looked at him with a look of disappointment, and said sadly: "Your talent is not bad, but why don't you study hard?"
"That depends on who teaches you." Ron thought secretly, he just had no interest in divination class.
"Learn from your deskmate." Professor Trelawney picked up Aaron's chart and put it in front of Ron, on which the positions of the eight planets were clearly arranged.
"Mr. Gaius, tell them how you drew it in such a short time?"
"This... There is this picture in my family tree.
Not only the eight planets, but also the sun, moon, and tides are recorded in detail."
Trelawney:......
Okay! I am short-sighted.
After the bell rang, Professor Trelawney stood up and said, "Refer to your respective charts and analyze in detail the movement of the planets that will affect you next month.
Submit it next Monday, and do not make any excuses for not doing so."
"Hateful old bat." Ron cursed angrily while eating dinner in the hall, "Our weekend is over."
"A pile of homework?" Hermione said gloatingly, "You really should have signed up for Arithmancy with me. Professor Victor didn't give any homework."
"It's just that there is no homework now." Aaron said disapprovingly.
"That's better than what you have now, isn't it?
Aren't you worried about the homework assigned by Trelawney?"
"Don't worry." Aaron said meaningfully, "I'm sure I can finish it."
