Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Sainz asked Lockhart for comprehensive advice on the spell to restore werewolves to human form. Lockhart had already boasted before, so facing Sainz's "sincere request" he had to rack his brains to respond.

In the end, Sainz's questions were so intense that he was at a loss for words and began to make excuses, saying that it had been too long and he could not remember clearly.

Sai asked to borrow his research notes, but he declined and did not bring them to school.

Finally, Sainz's tone began to reveal toughness and disappointment, and Lockhart had to promise him that he would copy a research note for him in his spare time.

Sai regained his respect and said, "Professor, keeping one's own research notes is a necessary quality for every qualified wizard. I believe that you were unwilling to lend it to me just now because you were afraid that I would be too ambitious and not to deceive me.

I am very glad that you finally agreed to make a copy for me. It is such a touching thing that a great wizard passes on his excellence."

Without waiting for Lockhart to speak, Sainz continued, "I know you are very busy at work, but please consider what you have promised me... I am looking forward to seeing your masterpiece before next Sunday. A wizard as good as you will definitely not go back on his word. I firmly believe this."

Lockhart, who was forced by Sainz to assign an assignment, was already having trouble maintaining his professional smile.

"Oh, it's already so late. I'm sorry to have bothered you for so long. I'll take my leave now. I'll come back to listen to your teachings when I have time. Goodbye, professor!"

"Ah?...Ah...Goodbye, Autumn!"

As soon as he stepped out of the office door, Sainz turned back to give Lockhart a grateful look and told him to finish his homework quickly. "I look forward to your masterpiece, professor!"

After going out, Saiens sneered in his heart. It would be better if the spell to restore human form was real. Otherwise, Saiens' worship would not be so easy to bear.

On Saturday morning, Sainz checked on the Whomping Willow's recovery and expressed relief that he had handled it well at the time and believed that it would be back to health in another week.

After that, he went to visit Hagrid's hut as usual. The two were discussing the adjustment of materials for making rock cakes when Lockhart unexpectedly showed up, wearing a flashy lavender robe.

Sainz showed a surprised expression on his face, "Ah, Professor, I didn't expect you to come to visit Hagrid. Have you finished your research notes so quickly?"

Lockhart didn't respond to the note. "Ah, Autumn, you're here too! What a coincidence. I mean, that's great."

"Really? Professor, are you here to see Hagrid for something important? If you are ready to demonstrate your superb magic, can I watch?"

"Aha, you're still so eager to learn, Autumn." Lockhart said a little uncomfortably: "I'm here today to teach Hagrid how to prevent water monsters from getting into the well. I think he will need this skill as a gamekeeper."

Hagrid had not been friendly to Lockhart since he came in. He obviously knew what kind of person he was. Hearing what he said, he said sarcastically, "Oh, that's a pity. I think any wizard would know how to expel the water monster in the well. There's no need for a famous figure to come and teach us."

Lockhart was not embarrassed at all. "Obviously the methods that ordinary wizards know are unsystematic. I have ten methods for identifying water nymphs, but I never show them off. I have written them in my book. Hagrid, you can take a look and ask me if you don't understand."

Hagrid immediately poked Lockhart's lungs with blunt words, "Really? But I don't have any of your "works" in my cabin. In fact, I haven't read any of your books!"

Lockhart's expression froze for a moment, then returned to normal. "Wow... this is such a shame. This is my fault. My book is so popular that even the gamekeeper at Hogwarts couldn't get a copy. So, I decided to give you a copy for free. Don't worry, although it's free, it will also have my autograph on it."

Sai expressed his admiration, saying that this kind of shameless spirit is something that not everyone can do!

After saying that, Lockhart started to walk out. "Thank you for your hospitality, Hagrid. I'll sign it and send it to you tonight. Okay, goodbye!" After saying that, he strode towards the castle.

Sainz did not forget to remind him from behind, "Goodbye, professor, don't forget the research notes you promised me!" Lockhart took bigger steps.

"He's a liar, Sainz, don't be fooled by his appearance!" Hagrid did not hide his dissatisfaction with Lockhart on his face.

Sainz smiled but said nothing. He thought about it and decided not to tell him the truth. He didn't think highly of Hagrid's ability to keep secrets.

Hagrid's hut was particularly lively today. As soon as the wooden door was closed, there was an urgent knock on the door.

Hagrid's anger suddenly rose, he stood up angrily, rushed over and opened the door, then his anger seemed to have disappeared, and he said softly, "Oh, it's you, come in quickly, I have been wondering when you will come, I was not angry with you just now, I thought Lockhart was back again. Come in quickly."

Following Hagrid came in three people, they were the three saviors, but their looks were a bit unique. Ron was supported by two people.

"Hello!"

"Ah...hi, Sainz." Harry seemed to have not expected Sainz to be here, and looked at Ron a little awkwardly.

"What's wrong with Ron?" Sainz knew what happened to him the next moment after he asked. Before the other two could answer, Ron, who was being supported, vomited a huge slug with a "vomit" sound! "Okay, no need to say, I saw it!"

When Ron was seen in such a miserable state by Sainz, he shrank back and his face turned the same red as his hair.

Cow batch!

This is much more powerful than when Cyence was experimenting on mice!

Harry and Hermione helped him sit down in a chair while telling them about how he was hit by his own spell.

Hagrid said cheerfully and heartlessly, "It's better to spit it out than to swallow it." He found a large copper basin and placed it in front of Ron. "Spit it out, all of it, Ron."

Sainz was speechless for a moment when watching this farce.

He thought to himself, is it really reliable to rely on these people to save the world?

We can see some clues from this incident that Hermione's "cleverness" has certain limits. Maybe it's because she is still young, or maybe it's for other reasons. At least now she lacks the "quick wit" when encountering problems.

When Ron was cursed, the first person the Saviors thought of was not Madam Pomfrey or other professors who could solve the problem, but Hagrid.

Among all the faculty and staff of Hogwarts, there are only two people who cannot solve his problem, one is his enemy Filch, and the other is the gamekeeper Hagrid. Especially Hagrid, he once clearly told Harry that he could not use magic.

Of course, when something like this happens, we can’t just blame the little wizard; the professors are also responsible.

Think about it, is there a rule in Muggle schools that teaches students to tell their teachers when they encounter problems they can't solve themselves? !

However, these students did not form such an idea. They did not think of asking the professor for help at the first time. This was undoubtedly a mistake of the professors. In fact, it was a subconscious distrust of the professors by the students, so they first thought of Hagrid, who was closer to them.

Of course, there may be another objective reason. Compared to going to the castle, Hagrid's hut is indeed closer to the Quidditch field.
