Felix and Newt exchanged addresses. He learned that after Newt retired, he and his wife lived in the Dorset countryside. They had a "huge" basement for some magical creatures in need.
"I don't always raise them, I'm more like a therapist. I will let the'patients' get back to nature when they are healthy." Newt said to him.
Despite guessing the answer, Felix asked, "Mr. Scamander, if you don't plan to get something from them, how have you kept your love for them for a long time?"
Newt smiled and said: "How to maintain love? Of course it is because of love itself."
...
At the next weekend, Felix showed the Ring of Ouroboros to the members at the Magic Club rally.
He flipped the dark green coin in his hand and let it dexterously shuttled between the tips of his fingers. His behavior quickly attracted the attention of these students. The next second, the coin turned into a small snake and condensed into a coin on the little finger of his right hand. Ouroboros ring.
He waved his magic wand and flew out dozens of coins from the table in the corner, and fell exactly in front of every little wizard.
"It counts as your late Christmas present."
"It can replace the copper nat given to you before. It has two forms-coin and ring. You can choose. If you want to become the latter, you just need to meditate silently: infinity, and then inject magic. You can try it now ——"
The members of the club stretched out their hands and let the coins fall into their palms, feeling heavy. Neville, who participated in the rally for the first time, rubbed the lines on the coin. Its surface was shiny with a unique thick luster, but it didn’t feel like metal. He looked up at Harry sitting next to him. Harry said to Neville. Mouth shape: Basilisk scales.
This was what Hermione told him, and he relayed it to Neville. In fact, when Harry learned about it, he was still very surprised. He thought that the basilisk had been thrown back into the secret room after the exhibition, but Hermione told him that the basilisk was a treasured magic material and had been taught. Parted with Snape...
Neville's heart was beating, as if to complete some kind of ritual, he read clearly and accurately: "Infinity." The coin in his hand changed, and in the blink of an eye it became a dark green slender snake.
Neville held it and asked tentatively, "Do you know how to do it?" The little snake swam onto his little finger of his right hand, wound it twice, twisting it into an Ouroboros ring.
The most exciting thing was the few Slytherins. Draco Malfoy liked the snake almost as soon as he saw the coin turned into a coin. He couldn't help but stretch out his index finger and touch its head lightly. He didn't imagine it. It is creamy, but a warm touch, like it was carved from a dark green gem.
The little snake raised his head, his black eyes staring at him.
Draco stretched out his fingers, and the little snake shook his body and wrapped it around his fingers, gently swaying the snake's body, connecting the head and tail to form a circle. He looked left and right with joy, Yu Guang caught a glimpse of Pansy Parkinson and Daphne Greengrass, their eyes widened, and all their attention was drawn away.
The reactions of other people were calmer. They neither rejected the snake shape, but also showed no particular liking. Cedric deliberately asked whether it could be changed to another form, but he thought that this "snake" was not the logo of Slytherin College, but the ouroboros logo in alchemy and magic symbols, representing the Magic Club and Haipu The professor himself admired a certain concept, and he gave up.
Then he heard Professor Haipu's voice--
"Its material comes from a thousand-year-old basilisk. You should have some impression of it. It was the one in the secret room last year. I found that the scales of the basilisk have strong magical inertia and it is difficult to channel the magic, but they are also excellent for isolation and storage Magic material."
"I use the scales of the basilisk as a container, and draw the magic text with the powder of African tree snake skin and bird snake egg shell, and I have the ring of ouroboros that you have seen."
When it came to the African tree snake skin, Hermione took a quick look at the professor. She knew that this material was one of the important ingredients for making compound decoctions, but she didn't know that it could be ground into powder and used to draw magic texts, but Thinking that the professor had a headache for a long time about the use of basilisk scales, she made many attempts, and she was relieved.
Felix began to demonstrate. He waved his hand to let the students see a string of practical magic symbols near his wrist. Then he brought the ring of the little finger of his right hand close to them. The ring of ouroboros suddenly swam, and the mouth of the snake loosened its tail. After ejecting and swallowing these magic texts one by one, they returned to Felix's hands and turned them into rings again.
"I found in practice that it can store magic texts for a long time, and try to delay the process of magical power. Although I haven't found any use for me, the benefits for you are very obvious—"
Under the gaze of everyone, he knocked on the head of the little snake. The little snake opened his mouth and spit out the string of magic texts he had just swallowed. Felix revealed the answer and said: "As long as you successfully outline a magic text, you can Keep and analyze it for a long time until you are fully familiar with the structure of this magic text."
Felix raised the corner of his mouth, "So, our theme today is-cooperation and exchange."
"In the previous few rallies, you have almost mastered at least one practical magic text. Now I need you to exchange it with others in exchange for at least twenty magic texts that others are good at."
He glanced at Hermione and added, "You can exchange up to three magic texts from the same person." Otherwise, these students only need to find Hermione alone.
Draco couldn't help complaining: "Professor, this is unfair. There are the fewest Slytherin students here."
"Well-it makes sense." Felix complied with kindness, "In this case, one additional condition is added. The exchange person cannot belong to the same college as you."
The other students looked at each other, Felix smiled and said: "You should see it. I want you to know each other. In the previous rallies, you were all sitting with the college. This is not conducive to future cooperation..."
"Now, let's start."
The members of the club began to take action. At this time, it was obvious who among the four colleges was the most popular. The students of Gryffindor, Ravenclaw, and Slytherin gathered around Hufflepuff School. By the wizard.
The sixth grade Hufflepuff girl Pete Selton couldn't help but say: "It's an unexpected development—oh, Warren, you have today." She giggled.
Warren Paldis of Ravenclaw said sternly, "Don't make trouble, I have helped you many times..."
Ever since being called by Professor Haipu last year to have an ancient magical literacy contest with this girl-there was no parchment answer at that time-she has confronted herself, but they occasionally went to the library to do homework and look up. The data can be regarded as establishing a unique fighting friendship.
At least that's what he thinks Harry was crowded out of the crowd. He was always bad at dealing with this kind of scene, especially if he took the initiative to make some friends. But when he noticed that Draco Malfoy’s face was not pretty, his mood suddenly became happy, as if he was returning to Diagon Alley and eating Florin in the summer sun. The feeling of ice cream.
Draco spotted Harry's sight, and he whispered tauntingly: "Potter—you are as annoying as McAdam, why not go back to your boxing room."
Harry looked at him in amazement, he didn't care about Malfoy's bad attitude—their relationship was never friendly, but the message that popped out of his mouth was surprising—
"Have you seen "Little Wizard Mickie's Adventure"?"
"No, no!" Draco denied immediately.
Harry said affirmatively: "You have definitely seen it. McAdam and the Boxing Room are both in the book," he said with a smile, "And you have seen at least the third volume."
Draco's face went dark all of a sudden, and he opened his mouth several times, but he couldn't think of a rebuttal.
