200 Pets and prosthetic legs

200 Pets and prosthetic legs

Although this result had been expected for a long time, when the unmistakable facts were before his eyes, Karan's heart was still unavoidable.

Myrtle Warren is not dead, which means that even though Tom Riddle exposed Hagrid's behavior of secretly raising Acromantulas, he did not receive the Special Contribution Award.

Because before this, Hogwarts had only had a few vicious incidents that harmed students, which was not enough to meet the requirements for the Special Contribution Award.

Even these vicious incidents were only done secretly by Slytherin's snake descendants under Riddle's instructions.It's just that their actions have always been very secretive, and there is no conclusive evidence linking them to these vicious events. (From the original work, Part 17, Chapter No. [-])

What about the secret room?

Myrtle is not dead, does it mean that Riddle never found the secret room at all?Or did he simply not release the basilisk?

Karan stood in the center of the prize display room. He stared at the list of past student union presidents and thought silently.

But he didn't spend as much time alone as he thought.

"Isn't it a little late for you to start craving honor now?"

A thick voice suddenly sounded, and Karan subconsciously looked towards the door.

Professor Kettleburn was leaning against the door frame. He was holding a wooden prosthetic leg and standing on one foot with difficulty, as if he was resting.

"Oh? President of the student union?"

At this time, Professor Kettleburn noticed the list in front of Callan.

"It's not too late, after all, this will only be selected from seventh grade students. In fact, it's even a little too early for you."

"Okay, Sangster, come and give me a hand quickly and help me take these old arms and legs to the school hospital. It will be on the second floor of the castle. It won't take you much time."

Callan walked over quickly, and Professor Kettleburn put his other free arm on his shoulder and jumped forward on one leg.

"Professor, what's wrong with you?" Only then did Karan have time to ask the question. He noticed that the joint of the wooden prosthetic leg seemed to be contaminated with something else.

If I read it correctly, it looked like blood stains.

"No need to make such a fuss."

Professor Kettleburn showed the prosthetic leg in front of Karan without hesitation. He said in a rough voice: "It's just a minor injury. Before Armando (former principal) retired, this happened from time to time. thing."

"As for the reason for my injury this time... you will see it with your own eyes, just this weekend, at the first gathering of the Fire Crab Club, which will definitely be an eye-opener for you little guys. "

When he said these words, he had a rather proud expression on his face.It seemed that he did not fully obey Dumbledore's advice.

"I thought there would only be fire crabs." Karan asked cautiously, wondering what Professor Kettleburn had prepared.

"That's just ordinary teaching content."

Professor Kettleburn's tone changed to disdain.

"If there are only sickly little guys like Fire Crab, we won't be able to attract too many students to join the club."

[That will only encourage the students who finally joined to leave. 】

Karan silently cursed in his heart, hoping that Professor Kettleburn would not go too far and bring out a large group of dark creatures.

When the two finally got down to the third floor, Karan felt that his shoulders were getting sore, and the wooden prosthetic leg fell off once from Professor Kettleburn's hand. His condition didn't look very good.

"By the way, I seem to have forgotten one thing."

When Karan picked up the prosthetic leg again, Professor Kettleburn stared at him with burning eyes and suddenly said: "You accepted Hagrid's invitation. This is a good start and gives him enough confidence."

Before Karan could say anything, he continued: "Many times, I feel that the school's curriculum arrangement is a bit unreasonable, and the Care of Magical Creatures course is listed as an elective course that can only be taken in the third grade. Let me say, this course Classes should start from the first year, after all, freshmen can bring pets from the beginning, doesn’t this prove the importance of Care of Magical Creatures class?”

"Otherwise, how are students supposed to know how to care for their pets?"

Callan listened silently to Professor Kettleburn's ramblings. He seemed to have a lot of resentment about such a course arrangement. It was just like other professors. They always believed that their courses were the most outstanding and outstanding. important.

Karan could only nod helplessly in response, and he quietly moved his increasingly sore shoulders.

As Professor Kettleburn became more and more excited, he seemed to have forgotten that Callan was only a second-year student and was not strong enough to support the weight of his size.

"By the way, what kind of pets do you have?" Professor Kettleburn asked Karan after venting his dissatisfaction.

"I don't have any pets, sir." Karan replied lightly, as he never shied away from this question.

But Professor Kettleburn was simply astonished.

"Not even an owl?" he asked.

Karan shook his head.

"The school has an owl wigwam, and there's an owl post office in Hogsmeade, so I don't have to buy one."

Professor Kettleburn knew that he also lived in Hogsmeade. Although they were not very familiar with each other, they would meet occasionally.

"I thought you liked magical animals."

I don't know if it's because magical beast experts are a little nervous, but Professor Kettleburn has never been surprised that Callan can actually live in Hogsmeade.

Even the focus now is only on magical animals.

"Uh, of course!"

Karan blinked and said, "Of course I like Fantastic Beasts, it's just..."

"Just find it troublesome?"

Professor Kettleburn interrupted Karan's words rudely. He seemed to be extremely dissatisfied with the fact that Karan had no pets.

"Or do you think those ordinary pets are not good enough for you? You need a little one who can better show your own characteristics?"

Karan was stunned, but Professor Kettleburn suddenly muttered to himself with doubt on his face.

"You don't want to catch an Acromantula as a pet, do you?"

Apparently, he had attributed the reason why Karan secretly went to the Forbidden Forest last year to the fact that Karan never had a pet.

"of course not!"

Karan shook his head like a rattle.He wouldn't admit it, and he never thought about it.

Professor Kettleburn stared at him suspiciously for a while, and Callan suddenly became speechless.Not all students are like Hagrid and would do such irrational things.

After all, it was an Acromantula, even a dark creature.

"Better so."

Professor Kettleburn snorted inexplicably. He did not use Callan to help him with the last few steps. Instead, he was greeted by Madam Pomfrey who hurried out and walked into the campus hospital with difficulty.

At the same time, the thin Remus Lupin just walked out of the school hospital.

Even though it's not a full moon yet, he still needs to come here to check in occasionally, especially when school first starts.

The painful transformation process tortured him terribly.

When he found someone standing at the door, Remus subconsciously lowered his head.He would always feel guilty about it.

Feeling guilty for being a hateful werewolf.

But when he saw out of the corner of his eye that this person was Callan Sangster, he couldn't help but slow down a little.

The Defense Against the Dark Arts class had just ended, and James and Sirius's unusual reactions prompted him to look at Karan curiously.

However, when he quietly raised his head, he found Karan staring at him intently.

Remus immediately lowered his head again.

For some reason, under Karan's gaze, he suddenly felt guilty.

That was not the normal way to stare at a student.

It's more like being wary of a werewolf.

Remus walked quickly, even breaking into a panicked trot at the end.

Karan looked at his back silently.

At the same time, Madam Pomfrey walked out of the school hospital again and looked back and forth.

"Did you see that little boy, Sangster?"

She still remembers the child who was injured by Meadows.

"Yes, ma'am."

Karan pointed in the direction of the corridor.

"Just now, he suddenly ran away for some reason, still wearing hospital uniform."

"I remember that wasn't allowed, right?"

"Oh, it's okay, he has recovered, it's just..." Madam Pomfrey hesitated for a long time, and finally said: "It's just a small mistake, he will get his uniform back."

Madam Pomfrey's tone was obviously abnormal, but Karan did not continue to ask.

"Of course, ma'am."

he said with a smile.

"I'm sure he will come back."
