Chapter 118： Valentine's Day (available on the 31st)

Felix stared at the green snake skin in front of him, thinking about how to make it.

‘First, you need to deal with impurities. For this step, you can refer to the operation of the Binding Vine. However, the characteristics of the basilisk and the beating willow branches are completely different...’

……

Valentine's Day on February 14.

When the little wizards got up early to eat in the auditorium, they found that the four walls were covered with big dazzling pink flowers, and many heart-shaped confetti kept falling from the light blue ceiling. Come down.

Even the usual corridors are decorated with wreaths of holly and mistletoe.

Many young wizards and witches laughed foolishly while eating.

On this day, the professors will open one eye and close the other, and will not be nosy-but don't expect them to smile at you.

"I think Percy must have died of soreness seeing this." Ron said, pointing to a couple of lovers who were holding hands in the distance-he and Percy had reconciled, but habitual taunting was always inevitable.

But it has nothing to do with them. Harry, Ron, and Hermione had breakfast and hurried to class.

Time came to the evening.

They dragged their tired bodies to the auditorium, and the long table was already full of little wizards.

Unexpectedly, they saw dwarfs dressed as little goddess of love, but they stood on a temporary high platform properly, playing the harp with gloomy faces—not bad, at least they didn’t make people escape. Impulse.

The two seemingly shortest dwarfs didn’t seem to have mastered this skill. They stood two or three meters near the door in the auditorium, and took out a handful of colored crumbs from their back pockets, any two or more. When the little wizards passed by them in groups, they would all be smashed like that.

Harry and they saw Dean and Neville walking in front of them bathed in a rain of colored debris. Neville stood awkwardly, and Dean made an unexplained grunt and ran away quickly.

A burst of laughter broke out on the long table.

Nawei scratched his head, and then smiled, his round face was dyed ruddy.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione hurriedly avoided the pair of dwarfs around the wall.

Soon, a combination of unknown truths was recruited. If it is a young couple, smile generously, which is not embarrassing, but if they are pure friends, the expressions on their faces are enough to make the little wizards on the side laugh. The first half day.

On the teacher's bench.

Bellby looked at this lively scene and said somewhat unexpectedly: "I didn't expect that now Hogwarts also celebrate Valentine's Day? You know, I was hiding in hiding at that time."

Felix said: "Maybe to welcome you."

"Stop kidding, Felix," the middle-aged wizard said, and he turned to look around: "Why didn't you see Professor Snape?"

"He won't like this scene, he may arrive later."

"Yes, he looks pretty serious." Bellby said: "The last time we met was too short, we didn't talk much, some of his thoughts were very insightful..."

"Is it about wolf poison potion?"

"Yes, he seems to have the idea of ​​improving the wolf's poison potion. I hope we can cooperate and I am willing to provide initial research materials."

"Have you never thought of inviting others before?" Felix asked curiously.

"I thought about it, but...not much interest," Bellby said regretfully. "Professor Slughorn made some suggestions, but he refused to participate."

"Slaghorn?" Felix was not the first time he heard the name.

"Yes, he used to be my potions professor, but now he is retired, and his whereabouts are uncertain, it is difficult to contact him."

More than ten minutes later, the professors also arrived one after another.

Professor Flitwick sat in the empty seat beside Felix, and Professor McGonagall sat down next to Flitwick.

Snape picked a spot far away.

Just when Harry was so boring to hear the dwarf play the same song the seventh time, the dinner finally began.

Dumbledore knocked on the cup to silence the little wizard, and introduced their new professor to the crowd with a smile on his face.

"I am honored to introduce you, Damocles Bellby, who generously agreed to fill the vacancy in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class in the second half of this year."

The little wizards applauded sparsely, and the previous professors have consumed their enthusiasm.

Bellby stood up and saluted everyone, "It's an honor to return to Hogwarts again after many years. Although I will only stay here for the first half of the year, I will do my best to perform my duties... "

Bellby's words are very sincere. His looks and clothes are not as dazzling as Lockhart, and he can't wait to attract everyone's attention. This directly won the limited favor of the little wizards.

The most intuitive evidence is that when he sat down, the applause of the little wizards was neat and loud.

Snape, who was sitting on the edge, stared coldly at the goblet in front of him.

The other professors are all welcoming. Although it is said that Bellby won the Merlin Medal for inventing the wolf poison potion, but he came to teach the defense against the dark magic class, the truth is not clear, but at least he has real talents.

is better than Lockhart, who has been openly holding pajamas.

Various delicacies appeared on the long table, and the little wizards who had been tired all day began to feast on them.

Professor Flitwick, who was sitting next to Felix, talked to him in a low voice.

"Felix, I heard that you are using a new type of teaching aid in your class?"

"Yes, Felius, I call it answer parchment."

Professor McGonagall, who was a distance away, calmly slowed down the speed of chewing foodDon't mind if I say this-I saw it from a student, and I found that it is a theory of magic spells. Also very useful. "

"Do you want to use the answer parchment in the spell class?"

Flitwick said falteringly, “It’s not a few months before the wizard rank exam, but the theoretical results of some young wizards are still worrying.

He looked at Felix: "If you need my help..."

Felix smiled lightly: "Felius, I have no opinion on this. However, I did encounter some problems-if you want to add more disciplines, you must improve on the original basis. It’s not something I can solve alone. I want to invite you to study with me."

"I'm very happy." Flitwick said readily.

Professor McGonagall found the right time to answer the conversation and said: "I can help too."

Felix said: "Minerva, I once imagined adding all the subjects of Hogwarts, but this requires a prestigious professor to facilitate this."

Professor McGonagall thought for a while, "I will understand what other people think, which is a good thing. But how do you integrate so many disciplines on a piece of parchment?"

"Using synchronous magic," he explained: "The parchment in the hands of the little wizard is just a simple magic product to receive information. The magic text and alchemy methods on it are relatively simple. I also have a scroll made of dragon skin, which is stored in The wizard rank exam questions in recent years."

"But this also caused the little wizards to use the answer parchment at Hogwarts."

"Well, one-to-many..." Flitwick pondered, "I seem to have heard this kind of thinking."
