374 The king sees the king?
Since he has served as a professor in the Fantastic Animal Protection Class, Xin Sheng has not planned to survive this year, so he still has to show some real skills.
After leaving Black's old house, Xin Sheng made a special trip to Dorset and borrowed some magical animals in Newt's breeding park.
Cute creatures like sniffing that are not much threat are prepared for lower grade students.
As for the senior students who took the Fantastic Beast Protection Class, Xin Sheng prepared some beasts for them, and they lived in an ancient suitcase that they also borrowed from Newt.
This suitcase is a portable zoo used by Newt when he was young. It has been expanded many times through the traceless stretching spell, and there are multiple isolated living areas specially designed for magical animals with various habits.
Natiya, who is very curious, wants to go into the box to visit, but in order to avoid Natiya, who does not understand the habits of magical animals, disturb them, Xin Sheng temporarily rejected her request.
"You might as well read the textbooks first. After all, you are a teaching assistant in the Magical Animal Protection Class. Don't be embarrassed in the classroom."
Xin Sheng's suggestions made Natiya feel indifferent, but in order to avoid making a fool of herself in front of the students, she reluctantly picked up the textbook, intending to force herself to memorize it by rote, at least keeping the taboos of various magical animals in mind.
I don’t know if it’s because I have been learning hunting skills from Xin Sheng since I was a child, Natiya also has a certain degree of animal affinity.
Although it is not as good as Xin Sheng, it is at least easier to get close to animals than ordinary people.
However, magical animals cannot be played by animal affinity alone. If they violate their taboos without knowing it, they may be in danger of life.
A typical negative example is Professor Celtic Bourne with severe disability.
In order to get along with the magical animals in the portable zoo, Xin Sheng, Natiya and Hager spent a lot of time slowly communicating with them during the summer vacation.
The furious Hagrid accidentally annoyed a huge poisonous beast and almost stabbed it into the body with its horns.
Once the poisonous horned beast is injected with explosive venom, it is basically impossible for Hagrid to survive.
Fortunately, Xin Sheng used brute force to hold the poisonous beast at the critical moment, and the terrified Hagrid finally escaped.
With Natiya's careful comfort, the rhino-shaped poisonous horned beast took a long time to calm down again.
"I understand why Professor Kettleborn said you are not mature enough."
After leaving the suitcase, Xin Sheng was angry and kicked Haeger on the butt.
"Loving magical animals is a good thing, but can you resist your urge? Didn't you see a cub next to the poisonous horned beast?"
Haeger scratched his head embarrassedly: "Sorry, I will pay attention in the future."
Xin Sheng rolled his eyes: "I hope you can remember this sentence."
...
Preparing lessons before the semester starts is very troublesome. Fortunately, the magic animal protection class is just an elective course, which is much easier than the defense of black magic.
In late August, Dumbledore finally convinced Nicole Lemay to borrow the Philosopher's Stone from him.
Before Dumbledore's return, there was an old man with a hunchback in the Hogwarts faculty.
Vice-President Dumbledore and McGonagall are not on campus, and the new staff member is brought in by Snape.
‘This person…’
Xin Sheng looked at the old man with muddy eyes and wrinkles on his face, and always felt something was wrong in his heart.
Judging from his appearance, he is just an ordinary sloppy old man, at least 90 years old, so he should have retired and enjoyed his old age.
Snape introduced to Xin Sheng and others with a standard facial paralysis expression: "This is the new kitchen administrator, Hyde Green, who joined Hogwarts through the introduction of President Dumbledore. It is said that he had served as the chef of a royal family in a certain country before."
“Kitchen administrator?”
All professors, including Xin Sheng, looked at each other.
I have never heard of this position. Hogwarts' kitchen is left to the house elves, and they have never made any mistakes before.
‘Wait, Green?’
While the others were confused, Xin Sheng, who had preconceived ideas, suddenly had a flash of inspiration and turned his eyes to Nagini beside Mrs. Huo Qi without a trace.
'really.'
Although Nagini also showed a surprised expression like others on the surface, there was no emotional fluctuation in her eyes, and she seemed to have known that this person would appear long ago.
‘Hyde, Hide…homophonic?’
Xin Sheng knew Old Green's identity, but he didn't understand how Dumbledore brought him out.
‘Is it…that night operation before?’
Old Green was a little distracted and was always drowsy when Snape introduced himself.
‘Can this person work?’
This is the true thoughts of most professors, but due to Dumbledore's introduction and guarantees, they don't have to say much.
"Ahem!"
A sudden burst of coughing came from outside the auditorium gate. Qiluo, who had not seen him for two months, pushed open the door and walked in.
At this time, Kilow's appearance changed strangely. As a native of the British, he was like an Alabo, wrapping his head around with a dirty purple turban.
"Hello everyone, long time... no see you."
In the past, Quirrell was a handsome young man full of intellectual atmosphere, with a confident and generous temperament.
After two months of separation, Kiro suddenly became a habit of stuttering and his expression became timid, as if he was not the same person as Kiro before.
Flivi looked at Kiro in shock and screamed, "Professor Quirou, what's wrong with you?"
"Oh……"
A embarrassed smile appeared on Qilu's face: "I...I met vampires in Albania, and had some conflicts with them."
School doctor Pomfrey asked with concern: "Are you injured? Do you want to go to St. Mungo Hospital for a check-up?"
"No, no, no...no!"
Kilow waved his hand in panic and said, "I was not injured, but... I was frightened and I will be able to adjust it soon."
"Suck~"
Natiya and Xin Sheng, who had a keen sense of smell, could smell the strange smell of Qiluo from afar.
"Vomit~"
Natiya was a little nauseated, turned her back to Qiluo and whispered to Xin Sheng in a low voice.
"What does this taste like? It's so sniffy!"
Xin Sheng pinched his nose to cover up the smell: "The high concentration of garlic juice is mixed with some other odor."
‘The stench of body rotten? Kiro, you did not disappoint me.’
After Quirre entered the table, the professors around him also smelled the monster on his body, and their faces became a little unfair.
"Hug, sorry, this is a special special garlic essence I made to drive away vampires."
Qilu said apologetically: "Because the concentration is too high, it may still be difficult to eliminate it for a while."
Kilow's return interrupted Snape's introduction to Old Green. The old man with a low presence seemed to have entered a state of sleep. He closed his eyes and stood there with his head slightly.
Xin Sheng, who had been paying attention to Green, suddenly noticed a detail. The moment when Kiro sat down, Old Green's eyes opened like lightning, and a ray of spurt flashed in his turbid eyes.
‘Haha~ it’s interesting.’
Xin Sheng pretended that nothing happened on the surface, but he was ready to watch the show.
Chapter completed!
