The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

"Zhizhi~"

During dinner, a furry creature suddenly emerges from Ash's chest.

"Is this...Xiu Xiu?"

Penello looked over curiously and recognized it almost immediately, his eyes a little surprised.

"Where did you get it?"

Ash put Sniff on his lap, picked up a piece of sausage, put it in front of it, and said seriously:

"Senior, you might not believe it, but I picked it up."

"Who would believe it!" Penello rolled his eyes at him. There are a thousand students in Hogwarts, why can you be the only one to pick it up?

Complaints are complaints, but Penello did not ask further questions and just assumed that someone else had given them to Ash.

At this time, she couldn't help but look at this strange creature curiously. She had only learned about Niffler in textbooks before, and this was the first time she had actually seen a living Niffler.

"How is this pet?"

Ash asked with a smile as he gently stroked Sniff's fur.

Penello also reached out his hand curiously, touching it while commenting ruthlessly:

"Well, it doesn't feel very good to the touch. It doesn't feel as good as Elsa's cat."

Ash agreed in his heart, saying that Sniff was indeed not that good.

Compared with other magical animals, the Niffler is neither as beautiful as the Silent Bird, nor as cute as the Puffy or Cats, nor can it fly like the Thestrals and Hippogriffs, and is not as valuable as the Unicorn or the Phoenix. Compared to elegant creatures, they are worthless.

But only when it comes to stealing things, Sniff has a talent that other creatures cannot match, and this is exactly what Ash needs.

But speaking of cuteness, I can give Penello-senpai a cat nugget.

She seems to like cats.

Penello warned with some worry:

"Xiu Xiu often can't help but steal things around him. He is not suitable to keep as a pet. You have to be careful of him getting into trouble."

As soon as she finished speaking, she saw Xiu Xiu stand up from Ash's lap, put a golden plate on the table into her stomach and disappear!

The plate was almost as big as Xiu Xiu, and even wider than Xiu Xiu, but it was still easily hidden by Xiu Xiu's belly. This reminded Penello of the description in the textbook - there was a bag on Xiu Xiu's belly, which could hold far more things than it looked like, as if a traceless stretching spell had been cast on it.

Ash patted Xiu Xiu's head and taught him a lesson:

"Hand it over quickly, it's not yours."

Xiu Xiu felt aggrieved, but still obediently took out the gold plate from his pocket and put it back on the table.

In other words, it is a female Niffler, so it listens to Ash's orders.

If it were a male, I'm afraid it would have disappeared long ago.

As time passed, students from various colleges also left the auditorium one after another.

Ash also returned to the Ravenclaw lounge. He had to take a good rest now to go out at night.

But not long after he returned to the dormitory and lay down, a knock on the door woke him up.

When he opened the door, the familiar girl with long black hair and straight hair was standing at the door.

But unlike her confident and beautiful posture during the day, she now looks a little haggard.

"Senior." Ash greeted politely, "What can I do at this late hour?"

Qiu Zhang could clearly feel the alienation in his attitude, her body trembled slightly, and she whispered:

"Ash, can we talk?"

Her tone was a little pleading: "Just for a moment."

"Come in." Ash stepped aside and waited for Qiu Zhang to come in before closing the door.

Ash still maintained a polite but distant attitude and asked softly:

"Senior, can you do it as soon as possible? I want to go to bed early today."

"I……"

Qiu Zhang pursed her lips and whispered: "I'm sorry, I..."

Ash interrupted her and said without hesitation:

"No, senior sister, you didn't do anything wrong. It's my fault."

"What's more, we have already discussed this issue, haven't we?"

"I know."

Qiu Zhang nodded slightly and begged:

"Then can I stay and rest? Just like during the day."

Ash did not refuse and nodded gently.

Just when the girl showed a happy expression, he pointed to the empty bed on the other side and said:

"There are spare beds there. If you don't worry about other people misunderstanding, you can sleep there."

After he finished speaking, he didn't look at the girl's sad expression. He went back to his bed and fell asleep on his side.

Now that you have decided to PUA, you must get the results you want. Otherwise, it would be difficult for Qiu Zhang to learn her lesson, and she is a very emotional girl. If it cannot be resolved once and for all, she will still ask questions out of emotion that will embarrass both parties if the same thing happens next time.

So, I still have to let her go for a while.

As Ash thought about it, there was a rustling sound in his ears. It was the girl taking off her robe.

Then, he heard someone climbing onto the bed, a soft body hugging him tightly from behind, and the girl's voice was trembling:

"It doesn't matter if you don't just like me, okay?"

Ash didn't feel soft when he heard the girl's slightly crying voice, but was just a little surprised. Because he thought that this kind of PUA would last for a while, but he didn't expect that Qiu Zhang couldn't last even a day.

From this point of view, his purity is actually pretty good.

He turned around and hugged the girl, with a gentle smile on his face and whispered:

"Of course, senior."

——

In an open space outside the Forbidden Forest, a dozen giant wolves were feasting on their breakfast.

The house elves were busy preparing delicacies for them, such as grilled steaks, grilled lamb chops, grilled pork chops, grilled venison steaks, and various large pieces of barbecue. They used magic to carry piles of them to the open space for the wolves. Enjoy.

Although preparing these foods was exhausting for them, the house elves were happy with it and even extremely proud of it - not all house elves were qualified to receive orders to prepare food for these werewolves.

Hagrid was standing not far away, holding his little pink umbrella tightly and looking extremely alert.

Even though he had promised to keep Ash's secret from anyone else about the werewolves. But as the inspector of the Forbidden Forest, his duty is to ensure that the creatures in the Forbidden Forest do not harm Hogwarts.

And when dangerous creatures like werewolves appeared on the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid couldn't help but feel nervous.

Even though Ash assured him that these werewolves were no threat, and he had confirmed this himself, he still wasn't reassured. Who knows if these werewolves are just faking it? What if they rush straight to Hogwarts in the next second?

Because of this worry, whenever these werewolves came here to eat, Hagrid had to keep an eye on them until they returned to the Forbidden Forest after they had eaten and drank enough.

But it was okay for a day or two, but if he had to stare like this every day, even a half-giant like Hagrid would inevitably be exhausted both physically and mentally.

"I'm really crazy!" Hagrid scratched his head and muttered.

His current mood is regret, very regret.

If he had known better, he shouldn't have promised Ash to keep it a secret for him, but it wouldn't have been okay not to.

What if Ash doesn't agree and the Thunderbird Egg thing is exposed?

The professors at Hogwarts would not allow him to keep the Thunderbird egg, let alone hatch it.

Hagrid was a little tangled in his heart, but his eyes soon became extremely determined.

In order to successfully hatch the thunderbird egg, what does this sacrifice mean?

What's more, doesn't Ash have to keep his secret?

I just need to watch these werewolves and prevent them from breaking into Hogwarts.

But Ash has to face the test of all the students and teachers of Hogwarts, and he must not let them have the slightest doubt. Ash may even be facing cross-examination by others now, which is much harder than him.

When he thought of this, Hagrid's mood instantly improved a lot.
