Who let this Dementor into Hogwarts!

Chapter 63 Give it to me! (Freebie)
This book details how to fix the Traceless Stretching Charm on a physical container (building) for a long time. In addition to the spell, it also requires several ancient magic carvings that can provide magical support, as well as some materials with special functions - things such as the slime of the shapeshifting lizard can be found in the material cabinet in the Potions classroom, but there is one thing that is not available in the Potions classroom.

Bird snake feathers.

A bird snake is a two-legged, feathered, winged, snake-like creature that can expand or contract its size at will.

Their feathers also possess this magical power, making them ideal for creating areas of long-term, traceless stretching spells.

However, because its eggs are made of pure silver, bird snakes are often looted by hunters, which makes them extremely rare and the price of bird snake feathers remains high.

According to the requirements in the book, Cohen estimated that if he wanted to raise another fire dragon and ensure that he also had a house, he would have to stuff it with at least seventy-seven bird-snake feathers - enough to pluck the skin of a bird-snake.

Cohen had no intention of spending a huge amount of money to buy seventy-seven feathers himself. The market price of this thing was more expensive than the hair of a unicorn, which also belonged to the 4X classification of the Ministry of Magic.

Because unicorns are at least a little easier to approach. They will allow people with pure hearts to approach them, and even Ollivander can pluck a few of their butt hairs - although Ollivander was almost poked in the back by a unicorn once.

But bird snakes are different. Because humans steal their eggs on a daily basis, they are extremely wary of humans. As long as they find any trace of humans, they will run away at the speed of light. If they cannot escape, they will transform into extremely huge bodies and crush the other party to death.

"This industry chain is a bit too obvious!"

Cohen frowned at the contact information printed at the end of the chapter.

If you need to buy bird and snake feathers, please contact Nerva Rodrigues in Dorset. Prices are negotiable and shipping is fast. We can ship to any part of Europe.

But that was something Dumbledore needed to be concerned about.

"I saw in the book that the ancient magic carvings required birds, snakes and feathers."

On Saturday morning, Cohen went to the principal's office—this time with something actually positive to say.

"But it's too expensive. Can you give me some?"

"Have we reached the stage where we need to carve the ancient runes?"

Dumbledore sat behind the desk with a stack of letters in front of him. He raised his head and looked at Cohen gently, but did not directly agree to Cohen.

Cohen's progress was somewhat beyond Dumbledore's expectations. Newt had only started reinforcing the suitcase in this way after being expelled. The Traceless Extension Charm was almost impossible for a lower grade student.

But if it's Cohen, it makes sense.

If Cohen really behaved like an ordinary little wizard, Dumbledore might have suspected that he would become the second Tom Riddle.

It’s impossible that all the materials of magical creatures on Cohen’s body were turned into air, right?
"It doesn't seem to be that difficult—except for the difficulty with the materials. Bird and snake feathers are too expensive—why not? I might as well raise magical creatures full-time in the future. Just the feathers they shed during the changing seasons can buy me cakes every day..."

Cohen showed Dumbledore his half-finished box and appropriately expressed his ideals - which made Dumbledore very pleased.

"The salary as a principal is not very high—"

Dumbledore said slowly.

It depends on whether I believe it or not, old man with a white beard... Cohen just thought Dumbledore was joking. Poor? That's just that Dumbledore doesn't need the money at the moment.

In other words, Galleons were just a number to Dumbledore, and no one could stop him from getting what he wanted.

"But there's good news. Newt Scamander's bird snakes have spawned a large population—and he happens to be one of my closest students."

Dumbledore winked at Coin through his half-moon spectacles.

"It means you can help me get seventy-seven bird and snake feathers for free!" Cohen looked at Dumbledore with a gleam in his eyes.

"It means you can buy these interesting magical materials from him for less. We can buy these feathers from him for seven Galleons each - which is cheaper than unicorn tail hair."

Dumbledore still had a smiling face.

"Cohen, getting something for nothing certainly makes it easy for people to achieve their wishes, but remember, our life is not just about 'results', but also about the more important 'process'."

Obviously, Dumbledore most likely learned about Cohen's infiltration into the unicorn group through the centaurs, and Dumbledore did not intend to help Cohen buy those bird and snake feathers in full, because Cohen was also very rich now.

But it's a good thing to get some discounts. Cohen plans to sell some of the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider. Cohen doesn't need much of that stuff himself at the moment. If he really wants to poison someone, Cohen will choose to use a sealed container with his own blood or something.

After Cohen got Newt's address and a letter of introduction, Dumbledore reminded Cohen when he was about to leave.

"I'm glad you found something you like at Hogwarts. Once the box is ready, I can give you some extra help. Newt once complained that his box was prone to letting the little ones run out accidentally."

Dumbledore certainly didn't want the dragon to suddenly fly out of the box, otherwise Hogwarts might have to undergo a renovation plan costing millions of Galleons.

Cohen agreed to his request because he was planning to carry the box around with him. If the dragon suddenly escaped from the box and appeared at number five, Privet Drive during the summer vacation, he couldn't imagine how furious Rose would be.

Then the whole family will have to compete with the Ministry of Magic...

After leaving the principal's office, Cohen returned to the Room of Requirement and began writing a letter to the pharmacy selling Acromantula venom - Newt would most likely not accept this stuff. He was not a terrorist, and he was very old now, so he probably wouldn't raise any dangerous magical animals that needed venom to breed.

After filling the cans of Acromantula venom, Cohen stuffed them into a bag and asked the Count to fly to Diagon Alley with them.

"It won't spill out, will it?"

The Count looked at the bulging bag containing the canister of poison with extreme concern.

"I have children to raise—if I die on the way..."

"I'll help you send the egg to Hedwig - besides, how do you know if this egg is your cub..." Cohen comforted.

Cohen's consolation earned him a roll of the eyes from the count.

Once the money is in place and the bird and snake feathers are purchased, Cohen can decorate his "mobile base".
