Holy Light Professor at Hogwarts

Hogwarts is a school, a place where knowledge is taught, but rumors and gossip spread far faster than knowledge.

On the first weekend of the new semester, two pieces of news circulated in the school:

Article [-]: Professor Kirk from the school hospital brought Professor Snape into conflict; some said that the two had a draw in the Potions classroom, and some said that Professor Kirk had done something to Professor Snape. A unilateral crushing.

Most students in the school believe the latter statement, not only because of their resistance to Professor Snape, but also because the latter statement is often accompanied by the sentence: "According to a student in the school hospital...".

It is said to be a certain student, but everyone assumes that he is Harry Potter. With the golden name of Potter, the news becomes more real.

Article [-]: On Friday night, there were unicorns visiting the courtyard west of the school hospital; the news also came from the Gryffindor common room, and the news also included: those unicorns are Professor Kirk's pet, Hagrid often helped raise unicorns, and a pair of Gryffindor twins who cannot be named even petted unicorns up close.

The unnamed twins mentioned in this message were helping to work in Hagrid's pumpkin patch at this time. Kirk had already said to let them go, but these two actually tried their best to stun Hagrid. There is no way to spare them.

Kirk was busy in the school hospital at this time. Early this morning, a large group of students gathered to the west of the church, first the Gryffindor students, then the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students, and finally the Slytherin students. .

The little wizards even gave up the opportunity to go to Hogsmeade Village and made the church the second holy place during the holidays; however, the little wizards returned disappointed because there were only a few half-full water tanks in the west courtyard of the church. There are no unicorns at all.

Therefore, most of the little witches just came to take a look and then left. Only some rather persistent little witches simply found a place to sit near the church, reading while waiting for the unicorn to appear.

Kirk was currently studying the Book of Holy Light in the school hospital. He wanted to find a way to free himself from the work of making holy water; after all, if the cute unicorns had to drink half a tank of holy water every day, , then you have to prepare it once a day, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

However, there is no method in this regard in the Book of Holy Light. It is rarely necessary to continuously prepare holy water. After all, the shelf life of holy water is very long.

But Kirk is not completely without ideas. The exploded glass ball last night can store the Holy Light and then release it, but it will be released more violently. If it can be released slowly, then Kirk can have a For a machine that automatically prepares holy water, you only need to add holy light to the machine every once in a while, which greatly reduces the workload.

But there is obviously no knowledge of alchemy in the Book of Holy Light, so...

"Mrs. Pomfrey, I'm going to find Hagrid." Kirk stood up from his desk and left the school hospital.

The sun was still shining brightly on Saturday. Kirk stretched out and the little wizards who were waiting for the unicorn near the church greeted him one after another. The little wizards obviously showed more respect to Kirk. I don’t know if they were “taught a lesson.” Snape Incident", or his identity as the "Unicorn Master", or both.

Having finally figured out the truth behind the theft of the holy water, Kirk felt relieved, but he still had one thing he had doubts about:

Why didn't the amount of holy water decrease on the first day, but simply failed?Obviously the way unicorns treat holy water is to drink it directly... Could it be that this is really the first time for me to prepare holy water, and I am not good at it?

"who cares!"

Kirk shrugged and let bygones be bygones.

After walking for about two or three minutes, Kirk arrived at Hagrid's hut. There was no one inside, so he walked around to the back of the hut. Sure enough, Hagrid was working in the pumpkin patch with the Weasley twins.

Hagrid held a pair of large scissors and trimmed the branches and leaves of the little pumpkins that had begun to turn yellow, while the Weasley brothers followed Hagrid and uprooted the weeds growing in the ground.

The two brothers worked pretty hard, probably because they felt guilty about knocking down Hagrid last night. Seeing Kirk approaching, they greeted in unison: "Professor Kirk!"

Hagrid also turned his head when he heard this: "Good morning, Dean Kirk!"

If Hagrid's respect for Kirk before was because of Dumbledore and Kirk's strength; then today he feels more close to him.

When he returned to the cabin early this morning, he did not go to sleep directly. Instead, he rummaged through the boxes and found the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" that he bought a long time ago. From this book, he learned that even Newt, whom he respected very much, Mr. Scamander only observed unicorns from a close distance and did not even get to touch them.

But Mr. Kirk was so close to those unicorns last night. Hagrid, who likes magical animals very much, naturally regarded Kirk as someone who likes magical animals as much as he does.

Kirk went straight to the point: "Hagrid, I would like to borrow the two Mr. Weasleys. There are some things in the school hospital that need help."

"Oh, yes!" Hagrid agreed decisively. After all, he can do the pumpkin patch work by himself: "Do you need me to come over too?"

Kirk waved his hand: "No, no! It's not too much trouble. Let's go, our little inventors."

The Weasley brothers didn't know whether Professor Kirk's words were hurting them or praising them, but it didn't matter, they just wanted to listen to them at the time.

Following Kirk to the school hospital, they enjoyed everyone's gazes without puffing up their chests and feeling proud.

But instead of taking them to the school hospital, Kirk took them to the prayer room, which was the common room of the school hospital; Kirk took snacks from the closet, put them on the table, and asked them to sit down.

"Little inventors." Kirk pushed the snack in front of the twins: "Can you still make the glass balls like yesterday?"

The twin brothers looked at each other and Fred said, "Yes, Professor, do you still need it?"

The power of yesterday's golden "explosive bomb" was still fresh in their minds. How could they be unhappy if something they invented could produce such powerful power?So when Kirk asked them if they still had any "flash-bang grenades," they risked confiscation and answered in the affirmative.

"Professor, how many do you want?" George stood up excitedly and half-lyed on the table: "One week, no! Five days, when we sell the trick props on hand, we can buy materials to make flash blast bombs! "

Fred also looked at Kirk expectantly.

Kirk stretched out his hand to calm them down a little: "Don't worry, kids; what I need is different from what you brought out yesterday."

Then, Kirk told them his needs.

After hearing the request, the two brothers discussed it quietly, and then replied to Kirk: "It's a bit difficult to tell the truth if you want the...um...holy light stored in the explosive bomb to slowly escape."

"But it's not impossible!"

"We need to experiment, Professor Kirk!"

"Maybe it can be done in a month."

"Maybe two months!"

"The main reason is that we don't have enough materials."

"But don't worry, Professor, we will definitely try our best to get it!"

The two of them said something to each other, and finally agreed to the matter. Kirk didn't expect to get the finished product right away. After all, inventions and creations are full of chance.

"You don't need to help me do research at your own expense." As he said that, Kirk took out five gold galleons from his pocket: "This is your research fund. If there is any extra, it is yours. If it is not enough, you can ask me for it." .”

The twin brothers were extremely surprised when they heard this. Ever since they were young, no elder had ever supported their weird gadgets, let alone provided financial support. This made them even more determined to successfully transform flash bombs. .

After sending away the Weasley brothers, Kirk returned to the monotonous life of a working man. He prepared holy water every morning and helped in the school hospital during the day. Only when the unicorn came at night could he add some color to the monotonous life.

In the next few days, the number of people violating school rules at Hogwarts increased rapidly, causing great difficulties for Mr. Filch. The reason why students violated school rules was unexpectedly the same: night outing.

That's right, when some unwilling Gryffindor girls saw a unicorn on Saturday night, the students in the school went crazy and contacted their classmates who usually like to go out at night, asking them to take them with them.

Among them, the Weasley brothers have become the most popular and busiest people at Hogwarts during this time.

During the day, they had to attend classes and conduct invention experiments, and at night they had to sneak out of the castle with their classmates who wanted to go on a night trip; however, their lives had been greatly improved.

Of course, it's not that they didn't use the scientific research funds given by Kirk for personal use, but they pioneered the "Unicorn Tour". Each time they join the group to see unicorns, they charge ten kats, which is not high. , but small profits but quick turnover.

The reputation of the "Unicorn Tour" is also rising, because under the leadership of the Weasley twins, they can skillfully avoid Mr. Filch and the professors walking around the castle in the middle of the night. Never missed a beat.

Professors almost always choose to turn a blind eye to this situation. If Mr. Filch catches them, they will punish them, but the well-known "culprits" Weasley brothers, because they were not caught However, the professors did not even talk to them.

However, the phenomenon of students coming to see the unicorns every day also made Kirk a little distressed. After all, not every student could resist just looking at the unicorns from a distance. There were always people approaching and scaring the unicorns away.

So Kirk had to build a fence in the west courtyard of the church with the help of Hagrid.
