Chapter 429 Big Dog (Please Vote for Me! Please Subscribe!)
This afternoon's Defense Against the Dark Arts was not as easy as expected for Elena.
The advantage of foresight did not help her gain any extra bonus in memorizing the content of the book. Faced with the double attack of Hermione and Luna, Elena's plan to get higher grades in Professor Quirrell's class was hindered. serious obstacles.
As a second-generation Jinchuuriki who is determined to be the tool of "Mode Emotion", Professor Quirinazhiro fully demonstrated in the classroom what it means to be an absolutely fair and impartial teaching machine - whether it is Elena , Hermione, and Luna did not receive any special care. The roll call and bonus points were all based on the time of raising hands and the completeness of the answer content.
Of course, under such circumstances, Hermione Granger, who was relatively older, relied on her arm length advantage and the [Hand Raising Speed] bonus in her talent to finally win with an extremely slim lead before the end of get out of class. He defeated Elena and Luna and won the day's bet.
"Elena, I'm willing to admit defeat. You can't default this time."
As the bell rang, Hermione's face turned red, and her bright brown eyes sparkled with excitement.
After finally defeating Elena and Luna head-on, she also had the right to "punish" this white-haired dumpling, as well as Luna, who relied on intuition to "succeed" no matter what magic she learned - this was very important to Hermione. It's hard to tell which thing would be more pleasurable for her.
"Okay, okay...if it weren't for your long hands..." Elena muttered rather unwillingly.
When she starts to grow taller, she will definitely be able to hang up this little girl Hermione and do it however she wants.
There is no practical course for Defense Against the Dark Arts in the first-year class at Hogwarts, so in the competition based on pure book content, Hermione, as a humanoid calculator, undoubtedly has a considerable advantage.
Perhaps Elena has certain advantages in adapting to changes, but according to Professor Quirrell's one-shot teaching plan, there are really too few opportunities for her to exert herself.
More often than not, before Elena and Luna could understand the question clearly, a hand was raised beside them.
Similar thoughts also appeared in the mind of Luna Lovegood, who was ranked last.
After getting along with Elena and others day and night these days, some of the views of Luna, who was originally purely a stream of consciousness, began to change - although she had insisted on her own way in learning spells, but in the Luna's emphasis on the content of books has gradually caught up with Hermione's reading intensity.
"Hmph, it's obviously because you didn't remember some knowledge."
Hermione glanced at a certain white-haired dumpling who was still arrogant, snorted softly, and raised her chin proudly.
"Professor Quirrell mentioned several ways to identify zombies in class just now. It was clearly written in "Dark Force: Self-Defense Guide", but even so, you missed a sentence and did not give a complete answer."
"That sentence is just a repetitive rhetoric from Professor Quentin (the author of the textbook)..."
Elena's expression froze, she tilted her head unnaturally, and defended weakly.
"So what about the common regional distribution of zombies in the world? The book does not say that there are a large number of zombies in the East. Professor Quirrell also said that he has never heard of any classification of zombie levels."
"That's because he is ignorant! I'm obviously right!" Elena kicked the gravel under her feet unconvinced.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts class has ended. The girls left the castle and walked through the open forest towards Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, ready to see the cute "little guy" Elena called him. .
However, Elena was still a little worried about some things that happened in the previous class.
Magic exchanges around the world are too lagging behind. Elena may be a little unsure about other things, but there is no way she can be wrong about an iconic Eastern dark creature like Big Zongzi.
The most important thing is that if this question is answered correctly, she will at least have a 50-50 draw with Hermione in the final settlement, and will not be reduced to a situation where she has to accept punishment.
"Maybe, but you can't even name which book you've seen it in. It's really hard to believe."
Hermione shrugged and looked at Elena with a half-smile.
"When I saw you arguing in class just now, I almost thought you were a professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts - don't forget, Professor Quirrell is the official professor of Hogwarts. Whether it is strength or knowledge, he is definitely Much better than us.”
"Professor Quirrell, haha..."
Elena rolled her eyes weakly.
As an unlucky professor who failed to gain practical experience in Defense Against the Dark Arts for the first time, she was really not sure how much experience Professor Quirrell had in resisting dark creatures apart from the content in the book.
To a certain extent, Lockhart, who has gone out to collect materials dozens of times and has never made a mistake, may be more than one level better than Quirrell at this point.
You know, although Lockhart seems to be just a timid and despicable wizarding writer in the original work, and most of his wonderful experiences are plagiarized from the deeds of others, many people have ignored two very important things.
First of all, Lockhart is definitely a master of magic against people. Otherwise, he would not have been able to quietly get rid of so many wizard adventurers who have experienced dangerous magical deeds.
On the other hand, the difficulty of a magical creature like the Basilisk is really too high.
The more you know about the basilisk, the more you understand the danger of this terrible magical creature. Only second-year iron-headed boys like Harry and Ron dare to go directly to the basilisk. .
This is also the reason why the Ministry of Magic finally chose to continue sealing it instead of directly encircling and suppressing the basilisk.
Faced with this terrifying creature that sends out a range of Avada Kedavra all the time, no one is willing to bet their own statement unless they have to - there is really too little information about the basilisk in the magical world, and so far no one has The special knowledge that the basilisk's gaze is not fatal in reflection.
"Speaking of which, maybe you can consider asking the grandfathers to contact Mr. Lockhart to see if he is willing to sign a contract with "The New Quibbler" and become a full-time outstanding magical novelist..."
Elena raised her eyebrows thoughtfully and thought to herself.
As for secretly, he is one of the exclusive magic consultants affiliated with the future "Hogwarts Foundation".
Although memory magic is the kind of magic she hates the most, she has to admit that if there is such a master who is good at forgetting spells and modifying memories, there will indeed be more room for error and solutions in many situations.
However, one must be extremely cautious when using this double-edged sword.
If she remembered correctly, she had vaguely seen an H-HP fanfic with Lockhart as the protagonist in her previous life. In it, Lockhart, as the master of memory, brought disaster to almost all the beautiful little witches. Read it again.
(PS: The book title reply "A good man has a safe life" can be seen)
Perhaps, before recruiting, Mr. Lockhart should be sent to Bulgaria to practice for a while and then come back? Elena looked at the little wings surrounding her, and a strange thought suddenly came to her mind.
…
The distance from the castle to the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is not too far. Before Elena could figure out how to deal with the troublesome Mr. Lockhart, the girls had already arrived at Hagrid's cabin.
Unfortunately, judging from the closed wooden door of the hut and the giant crossbow that was taken away from the door, Hagrid should have just gone out to patrol the Forbidden Forest and did not stay in the house as usual.
Not far from the cabin is the exclusive vegetable garden belonging to the Hogwarts faculty and staff.
At this time, a giant three-headed dog that looked like a hill was lying quietly on the open space beside the vegetable garden. Except for the left head that was looking around energetically, the other two big heads were lying on their crossed paws, sleeping soundly. .
In fact, this is why three-headed dogs have long been one of wizards' favorite choices for guarding treasure houses. Compared with fire dragons or sphinxes that occasionally sleep, three-headed dogs with three heads can take turns. Dogs rarely get taken advantage of by thieves like in novels.
Anyone who wants to pass the level guarded by the three-headed dog of hell has no chance of trying his luck except for confronting him head-on - whether you use music to crack the level, or you use damage magic to pass the level violently.
"Um...Elena, the 'little guy' you are talking about, don't you mean it?!"
Hermione glanced at the three-headed beast in front of her, whose breath was filled with burning sparks. She swallowed lightly, turned her head to look at Elena, and subconsciously lowered her voice and asked in a low voice, for fear of accidentally attracting the beast. Monster's attention.
Although Professor Dumbledore has introduced it before, this three-headed dog named Luwei belongs to the campus guards of Hogwarts. Just like those moving armors and house elves, they are all to protect the school. Safety.
But in any case, compared to those normal-sized stone statues and armors, the sense of oppression and danger brought by this living giant beast is not of the same level no matter how you look at it - this is why The most important reason why for so long, no little wizard has had the courage to covet the faculty vegetable patch.
"Yes, that's not right either. To be precise, it will be soon."
As Elena spoke, she took out the bottle of "Shrinking Potion (D)" from her pocket and shook it towards Hermione, then turned around and waved to the big dog, the blue flame in her palm flashed by .
"Lu Wei, come here."
"Woof? Woof woof woof!"
Hearing Elena's voice, the left head that was awake turned around first. A cheerful look appeared in its two big dog eyes. It immediately turned its head and barked a few times at the other two sleeping heads. .
"Woof~?"
"Woof——"
The other two dogs shook their heads from side to side, and after letting out a few low growls, they slowly opened their eyes.
Immediately afterwards, the three-headed dog body like a hill quickly stood up, and a ball of blue flames suddenly enveloped the entire beast, turning into hair and floating around Lu Wei's three necks, looking particularly special. of majesty.
"Woof! Woof! Woof!"
After finally seeing Elena appear, the three-headed Lu Wei shouted happily and ran towards Elena like a merry-go-round - guarding the vegetable garden is really boring. He only sleeps every day. , I can only stare at the birds in the Forbidden Forest in a daze, unable to go anywhere.
"Eh? Ahhhh!"
"Ahhh! Don't come here! Ahhh!"
"Ahhhhhh! Elena, run!"
Looking at the terrifying giant beast that was approaching so fast in front of them, Hermione, Hannah, and Luna's pupils quickly dilated, and their heartbeats accelerated to the extreme. No one knew who started to raise their heads, and they all let out bursts of sounds. A piercing scream.
After all, they are still just a group of eleven-year-old kids.
The three-headed vicious dog with a ferocious face and its body covered in flames in front of them was so scary that everyone had immediately forgotten what Elena and Professor Dumbledore had said before.
"Ahem, don't be afraid, don't be afraid. Lu Wei is actually very obedient."
After taking a look at the frightened little wings around her, Elena, who had originally planned to give everyone a surprise, coughed awkwardly, quickly raised her palms towards Lu Wei, who was rushing towards her, and said softly.
"Lu Wei, sit down!"
Elena's voice was very soft, almost completely covered up by the screams of Hermione and others.
However, for the three-headed Lu Wei, this sound was enough.
In fact, thanks to the magic contract established by Grindelwald, at such a close distance, even if Elena didn't speak, Lu Wei could vaguely know what the little master's order was with the help of magic induction.
"Woof!" X3
The next moment, the three-headed big dog that was still running towards the crowd obediently responded three times, clawed the ground hard with its four paws, and instantly squatted on the spot obediently, its thick dog tail swaying happily behind it. It swayed back and forth, stirring up a large cloud of flying dust on the ground.
"Look, Lu Wei is just a little bigger, but he is actually very spiritual."
Elena gently patted the frightened little Hermione next to her, and gestured towards Lu Wei.
"Lu Wei, raise your hands."
"Lu Wei, roll around."
"Lu Wei, stick out your tongue."
"Lu Wei, spit fire..."
Following the three-headed big dog's obedient and wonderful talent show, Hermione and the others, who were suddenly startled, finally calmed down, and their eyes looking at Lu Wei slowly changed from fear to curiosity.
After all, Professor Dumbledore had already introduced the existence of Lu Wei once before, so for girls, this big three-headed dog is not that difficult to accept - after looking at it for a long time, Even a little cute.
Being big does not necessarily mean being fierce, just like a husky or a bulldog, the latter is obviously more scary.
Seeing the fear on the faces of Hermione, Luna, and Hannah gradually dissipate, Elena's eyes wandered between Lu Wei's three big heads and her own three small wings - well, one head and one Man, just right.
Elena thought about it and was not in a hurry to use [Shrinking Potion (D)]. It was still early and she was not in a hurry.
In the eyes of Hermione and others, Elena walked to Lu Wei unhurriedly, patted the big dog's body gently, turned around and said with a smile.
"or……"
