210 Tendency and Discrimination
After entering the Forbidden Forest, although the group did not walk for a long time, they did not deviate from the safe path.However, the increasingly dense woods and the gradually darkening scene still couldn't help but keep the students silent.
"Where are we going?"
Gaspard frowned and asked Hagrid, "Did the professor say anything about taking us to do something?"
Hagrid said with joy: "You will know in a moment, these are all the professor's [treasure]."
At the same time, after listening to their conversation, Professor Kettleburn, who was walking in front, said in a low voice without looking back: "But don't forget to be careful, these [treasures] are very destructive. Not only my house, but my prosthetic limbs were damaged several times by them.”
"The most recent one happened just a few days ago, and it made me admitted to the campus hospital again."
When he said this, he looked back at Karan.
Obviously, he was referring to the incident where Karan helped him to the campus hospital when he was at the door of the trophy display room.
At this time, there was no longer any loud noise among the students, and everything turned into quiet murmurs.
After walking on this safe path for a while, Professor Kettleburn deviated from the original direction and led them into a lush elm forest.
The three of Karan looked at each other silently. They had never been in this direction before, which was not something to be thankful for.
Coupled with Professor Kettleburn's description, the students became increasingly uneasy.
Fortunately, not long after walking, Professor Kettleburn suddenly stopped.
It's not quite the depths of the Forbidden Forest, but it's still very quiet.
Professor Kettleburn placed the iron bucket on the grass, causing the students around him to quietly take a few steps back.
But the raw beef in the iron bucket didn't seem to be prepared here, because Professor Kettleburn quickly took out his wand, waved it in his hand, and a golden line of light appeared inexplicably on the tip of his wand. gold chain with diamonds.
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound in the thick grass, and then several black figures jumped out in succession, trying to grab the gold chain.
Greta and her roommates couldn't help but scream. Everyone looked over curiously, only to realize that they were several furry black guys with long noses and flat front paws, like Like a shovel, very strange.
"These are Nifflers."
Professor Kettleburn waved his wand with great effort, gathering all the sniffers.It can be seen that he is very experienced and has not let a Niffler succeed.
But soon other sniffers targeted the professor's prosthetic limbs. Hagrid quickly ran over and easily lifted Professor Kettleburn up.
"Well done, Hagrid. Otherwise they would have stolen my prosthetic leg again. That's how I was injured last time."
Professor Kettleburn simply maintained this posture and shouted to the students who were gradually relieved: "Take off all the valuable things on your body, don't become the target of these little cuties."
The students immediately complied, and each of them was assigned a Niffler. Steve even asked for the remaining two. A total of three Nifflers were spinning around him, energetically. He sniffed his face.
Then Professor Kettleburn took out a bag of things and handed it to Prewett, and then patted Hagrid hard on the shoulder.
"I'll leave the rest to you. I'll feed the other guys first."
"Don't let me down, Hagrid."
He carried the iron bucket and limped away.
Hagrid became inexplicably nervous. He looked at the confused students, coughed loudly twice and said: "Today's task is very simple. We can have fun with these sniffers. Look at the open space nearby. , rely on the sniffing in your hands to find the gold coins buried inside. Whoever's sniffing digs out the most gold coins, I will give a prize to whoever."
Prewett had already buried all the gold coins in the grass quickly. He also shook his finger at Steve: "Only one can participate, otherwise it will be unfair to the others."
The originally tense atmosphere was finally broken at this moment. Karan rubbed the sniffing head in his hand, then let it go, and walked happily while lowering his head and sniffing.
"I thought it was some more dangerous magical animal."
Callan curiously asked Hagrid who was passing by: "Is Professor Kettleburn's teaching style usually like this?"
"Not exactly the same." Hagrid shook his big head.
"The professor's usual style is much more exciting than this. But don't underestimate these Sniffs, they have all damaged the school's wooden boats."
Fortunately, nothing like this happened at the entire party. James tried his best to win over Karan, but in the end everyone lost to the same person.
Steve chuckled and took the reward from Hagrid's hand - a large bucket of Bibi's All-Flavour Beans.
"I only used one Niffler, and these are all within the rules."
He reluctantly put down the other two Sniffs on his shoulders, and Gesper whispered without anyone noticing: "Don't you already have a lot of Sniffs at home?"
"Who would think that he has too much money?" Steve said matter-of-factly.
After that, Professor Kettleburn came back with the empty iron bucket. He looked at the students who were particularly interested in playing, patted Hagrid twice on the shoulder, and gave him a satisfied look.
"Well done, Hagrid."
"Okay, it's time for us to leave here. I will inform you of the next party time in advance."
He put all the Nifflers back into the Forbidden Forest, and then led them towards the castle.
"What? You asked Dorcas?"
Hagrid, who was delighted by Professor Kettleburn's praise, was stunned for a moment. He shook his head at Karan who asked the question and said: "I don't know much about her experience in school because she never took Care of Magical Creatures as an elective. class."
Callan blinked, and he silently looked at Steve, who was holding a large bucket of Bibi's multi-flavor beans in his arms. This was completely different from Meadows' later tendency.
She had been to Steve's basement at least once, and even found many dangerous magical animals there.
Although the way of communicating with each other is not so "friendly", it is a real battle.
"Would you be interested in Dorcas?"
Prewett looked at Karan suspiciously. Apparently he had also read the report about the talented little wizard.
"It's just pure curiosity, Professor Gideon."
Karan then discovered that there was no gold watch on his wrist and recognized him.
Prewett smacked his lips twice and said, "As long as you can forgive her."
"To be honest, when we learned about this incident, we were all shocked."
He said, waving his empty wrist.
"Also, don't admit it to the wrong person next time, although it's never that easy."
"I'm Fabian, Gideon won't come until next time."
Karan pursed his lips.
Then he nodded calmly and said.
"Of course, Professor Fabian."
