The Pacifist Necromancer of Hogwarts

Dumbledore's proposal not only relieved Hagrid and Anthony, but Harry, Ron and Hermione also seemed very happy. Professor Kettleburn had just moved the boxes of Chimeras away when they emerged from under the invisibility cloak.

My parents always say that Dumbledore can solve all problems. Ron said with a smile, That's great, Hagrid! Now you just need to, uh... pass some exams. His voice weakened, There was a less obvious look of suspicion on his face.

Harry nudged Ron lightly with his elbow: You can rest assured now, Hagrid, can't you?

Chimera Breeding Qualification Certificate... Hermione muttered as she recalled, I must have seen something related somewhere, maybe it was an employment consultation flyer...

Career advice? Ron turned to Harry, Hey, Harry, we're still in second year, right?

Hermione said, a little offended, Even if some people pass by the bulletin board and act as if they can't read, there are always some people in the world who do know how to read.

Even though Hermione and Ron seemed to have maintained a temporary peace, there was still an undercurrent of tit-for-tat between them. Most obviously, they all preferred to talk to Harry or Hagrid when possible. But anyway, they appeared in Hagrid's cabin at the same time.

Hagrid said gratefully: That's very kind of you, Hermione.

Anthony also said: Indeed, Miss Granger, I think I have seen a similar brochure. However, without your reminder, I doubt whether I would have remembered it.

Hermione looked a little happier. She waved her hand: It's nothing, Hagrid. I seemed to have seen related books when I was relaxing in the library before... She stopped and frowned maturely, You need me Can you help you make a review plan, Hagrid? I haven’t learned how to raise Chimera beasts either.”

Um, um, well... Hagrid said a little at a loss.

Oh, okay, Hermione said, I'll make a review plan. Let me see, we need to get the license before the end of the term... The first review must be completed in May...March All notes should be sorted out by then... We need to find all relevant knowledge points before December. Do you think they will have textbooks and exam scope, Professor Anthony?

Anthony thought for a moment: I don't know, but Professor Kettleburn will probably know what's going on.

Hagrid was staring in confusion at the timeline that Hermione had drawn in the corner of the Daily Prophet as she spoke. He cheered up a little when he heard these words: Yes, I can go find him. Oops, I should have asked him just now.

However, even if he does remember the assessment process and methods, Anthony reminded, after so many years, no one can say whether its standards have changed.

It doesn't matter, Hagrid. Hermione said, continuing to fill in various subdivided learning stages on the timeline, I believe you can do it.

Hagrid's expression showed that he was even a little doubtful.

Anthony saw Harry move closer to Ron and whisper something. Ron rolled his eyes and smiled a little.

…

After seeing Hermione's somewhat crowded revision schedule (Professor Dumbledore said it would be difficult! Hermione argued), Anthony thought he was beginning to understand why all the professors were so uninterested in the junior Gryffindor. Very impressed.

Apart from preparing to help Hagrid search for Chimera beasts in various areas of the library (including the restricted area), Anthony couldn't think of anything else he could do. So he safely handed over Hagrid to the three friends who also cared about Hagrid, and put most of his energy into studying flesh and blood magic.

Just as Dumbledore said, Voldemort is waiting for an opportunity to come back. The Ministry of Magic has a bad attitude towards Hogwarts. Wizards who support pure blood theory are trying to interfere in the internal affairs of Hogwarts through the Ministry of Magic and the school board. Senior Investigator Wu Mrich is about to enter Hogwarts... Considering his status, Anthony is not sure whether he will have the opportunity to study dark magic in the library in a fair manner in the future.

He spent so much time in the library that he even missed the discussion between Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall, and instead learned from Professor Flitwick that Ron and Hermione had had another fight. However, they all seemed to think the reason this time was a bit silly, so they quickly reconciled. The three of them now began to walk inseparably on campus again.

What's the topic of the quarrel this time? Anthony asked, watching the teapot fly up and pour him a cup of tea.

Professor Flitwick said with a smile: You know the test Hagrid is facing, right?

I know. Anthony said, What's wrong?

Miss Granger was leaving school at Christmas, so she asked Mr. Potter to remind Hagrid to look at those files when she left. Professor Flitwick said, taking a sip of tea. Cases of improper care or breeding of the Chimeras, and what kind of punishment he and his Chimeras would receive if such a thing happened.”

What does this have to do with Mr. Weasley? Anthony asked strangely, stood up, took a biscuit, and soaked it in the tea. Neither he nor Professor Flitwick touched the giant carnivorous grasses, so they all huddled quietly in the corner, looking much healthier than before.

Professor Flitwick said: Everyone in the Weasley family has signed their name on the Christmas stay list this week.

Everyone? Anthony said in surprise. Oh, yes, Arthur and Molly are not in England this year.

A long time ago, his pen pal Arthur Weasley had written to him excitedly to tell him that they were going to visit Bill at Christmas - he was a Gringotts Cursebreaker working in Egypt - and Ask Anthony to say hello to Charlie on their behalf.

Yes, yes. Professor Flitwick nodded, Mr. Weasley signed, but Mr. Potter did not. He had already promised Sirius Black in advance that he would go to the Black family for Christmas.

So when Miss Granger asked Mr. Potter to remind Hagrid to read during his detention, Mr. Weasley accused her of only thinking about her own affairs, and that if she really wanted to help Hagrid, she should stay; and Miss Granger said there was no need for him to be so angry with her because Mr. Potter didn't stay with him at school.

Oh... Anthony said.

Professor Flitwick also took a biscuit, took a bite, and leaned back comfortably: Mr. Weasley said that this is not about whether he is staying alone in school, but about Miss Granger's always being domineering. , the habit of wanting to arrange life for others; Miss Granger said that this was really great and that she would never plan Mr. Weasley’s exam review for him again; Mr. Weasley said that he wished it was like this, and he had heard Without a nagging voice urging him to study, he will have a great time at school and will never forget to send Miss Granger a Christmas present.

Um……

Then Mr. Potter interrupted them and said that he could spend Christmas at Hogwarts with Mr. Black. Mr. Black would definitely agree. Professor Flitwick said, Whether it is Miss Granger or Weiss, Mr. Lay rejected the offer out of hand. Mr. Porter said, well, now you're all on the same page... and everyone laughed.

Miss Granger said she was sorry Mr. Weasley had to stay at school for Christmas, and that he had just lost his pet and was in a bad mood. Mr. Weasley said he probably did need it at the end of term. Miss Granger's arrangements - it would be better if he had a little more free time - and he would remember to remind Hagrid to read and send gifts to Miss Granger.

Anthony couldn't help but say: It sounds like you're right next to me, Professor Flitwick?

Oh, it wasn't me, said Professor Flitwick. Minerva was obviously taking a walk.

…

The days are getting shorter every day, and the ice on Black Lake is getting thicker. No more snow fell, and the remaining snow dissipated reluctantly day by day in the cold wind and the few precious sunshine. The woods outside the castle had lost all their leaves, leaving only bare branches pointing at the gray sky.

Compared with the cold and bleak winter outside, Hogwarts is much warmer inside. Ornaments of holly and mistletoe were already hanging from the roof. Hagrid selected several beautiful trees from the Forbidden Forest and nearby forests to be dragged to the school to serve as Christmas trees at Christmas.

Lockhart, true to his word, turned the silver trappings of his Lockhart's Lock Your Heart Club into gold and left them floating in mid-air. Anthony saw several balloons staggering into the suspended candles and exploding with a bang, startling the students sitting below eating.

A piece of rubber from one of the balloons fluttered onto Neville Longbottom's head. Neville choked on a mouthful of oatmeal and coughed violently. His round face turned red, and he knocked over many things on the table with his hands: milk, pumpkin juice, a plate of egg tarts and a plate of bacon. His toad Leif took advantage of the chaos and jumped away.

As the holidays approach, students become increasingly distracted. Almost everyone is talking about their Christmas plans.

Professor Sprout changed all his recent lectures to a climbing plant that climbs the fir trees like ribbons. The entire greenhouse looks like a very busy Christmas ribbon workshop; Professor Flitwick The third graders were taught the Happy Spell, and the fifth and seventh graders were asked to review the Happy Spell, so students were everywhere walking around with grins on their faces.

Anthony spent two classes introducing Muggle British Christmas customs and Christmas stories to the students, and spent some time showing them the images of Santa Claus from around the world collected by Professor Bubaji.

Even Professor McGonagall has made it a lesson for the younger students to practice turning needles into fir tree leaves, while the middle and upper grades learn to make bells out of oranges, and the first student to make it jingle will get extra points. Once, Anthony saw the fourth-year Hufflepuffs and Ravenclaws coming out of the Transfiguration classroom. People kept throwing weird bells to Cedric, and applauded after he easily caught the bell.

On the other hand, Snape was still guiding students step by step in brewing potions such as forgetting potions, hair erecting potions, and demulcent potions, and he kept opening the door to the school hospital because of careless mistakes made by students. If Anthony had not seen Snape's face after seeing Sirius with his own eyes, he would never have imagined that that face could become even more gloomy.

It snowed at Hogwarts when the holidays were just two days away. Everyone was delighted, including the students who would have to lug their luggage through the snow a few days later.

Hermione finally seemed to remember that Hagrid wouldn't be staying at school for Christmas, so she made a list of books for Hagrid to put in his luggage. When Anthony walked through the snow to Hagrid's hut, he saw Hagrid staring at a bed full of books.

Henry! Hagrid said with relief, Have you packed your luggage?

Anthony waved his magic wand to make all the books smaller for Hagrid, so that they fell neatly and tightly into Hagrid's donkey skin bag.

Yes, I don't have much to pack. Only a cat, a chicken and a mouse are the necessities, but I'm here for another thing. My application for a portkey was rejected by the Ministry of Magic Now, do you know anyone who has opened a cross-country floo network in a fireplace?

Because of Hagrid's striking figure and lack of Muggle identification documents, they were unable to choose most Muggle transportation methods that required identity verification. At the same time, Anthony doesn’t think too many people would choose to take the bus from the UK to Romania (when they have other options).

On the other hand, even if he chooses magical travel, Hagrid still faces some restrictions. He told Anthony that he was completely incapable of apparating, and that even apparating with a follower was very difficult. He was also unable to take on the appearance of someone else via Polyjuice Potion, making him fish in troubled waters when using Muggle transportation.

After the portkey request was rejected, Floo was the best solution Anthony could think of.

Oh, this. It doesn't matter, I know how to get there. Hagrid said nonchalantly, No need for portkeys or floo network. We can use Sirius' motorcycle to fly to Romania.

Anthony paused.

Hagrid, he said, would you like to read a few more volumes - did you know that the Skybike is almost as illegal as the Chimera?

Oh, really? Hagrid said loudly, But Sirius never mentioned it! How weird. Where did he get the Flying Motorcycle Breeding License?
