Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

After entering mid-February, it is Quidditch season again.

The first match is between Ravenclaw and Slytherin, which will be held at the end of the third week.

As expected, Slytherin played their usual style and won the battle.

Half a month later, Hufflepuff was overtaken by Gryffindor and lost the game despite having a slight advantage in the score.

This time, Ben's emotions were obviously not as excited as last semester. Perhaps the Hufflepuff in his blood had finally awakened.

There is always not enough time when you need it.

Sainz has been to Professor Gratton's office many more times this semester.

We have to hurry up. Once the savior comes, it will be difficult to find such a reliable professor for this course.

"Professor, no offense, but I remember you said in the first class that your leg was injured by a Chimera beast?"

"Don't be sorry, Autumn, that's what I said. Would you like a cup of willow bud tea?" Professor Gratton blinked a little mysteriously.

"Great, thank you for your help."

Sainz didn't refuse. He took a cup from the tray naturally and picked up the teapot to refill Gratton's cup.

"Professor, if I'm not mistaken, this looks like the tip of the Whomping Willow. You must have put a lot of effort into it!"

"Haha, you recognized him?" Gratton raised his eyebrows mischievously. "Don't let anyone know, especially Dumbledore."

"Hehe, I'm not sure if I need to tell the secret. It should be easy for the principal to find out something..."

"Oh...you think so."

Gratton smiled slightly and without hesitation slapped Dumbledore on the head in front of the students, "He is the greatest wizard of this century. People give him too many honors and always think he can do anything. But they don't know that he is just an old and confused man."

It can be seen that, just as Old Deng said at the entrance banquet, the two old men have a very good relationship in private.

Sainz suddenly felt a sense of evil interest in his heart. "I don't know what the principal would think if he knew about this, but I guess it would be very interesting for the vice principal's wife to know that you plucked the Whomping Willow and turned into a bald man!"

"Don't do that!! This little girl Mag is a little too dull sometimes. If she knew, she would nag about me for a whole week until the bald tree grows lush again."

I just said it casually, and you really became bald because of it?!

"Ahem, you haven't mentioned the Chimera yet. The book says it's an animal that looks a bit like a lion." Saiens abruptly changed the subject.

"Indeed, from what I know about you, you must have read Scamander's book carefully!"

“Yes, I benefited a lot.”

“Yes, it is exactly as described in Fantastic Beasts, with a lion’s head, a goat’s body, and a dragon’s tail. It is extremely dangerous.

Believe me, when you see this thing in real life, you will find that it is much more dangerous than what is said in the book. "

"The book says that it is evil and bloodthirsty by nature. Is that true?"

"Well, it is indeed hostile to all creatures that appear before it, but I haven't investigated whether it enjoys killing or not, so it's hard to judge."

Professor Gratton wiped the tea stuck to his beard, frowned and thought for a minute, as if he was recalling the scene.

"I don't know through what channels Scamander got the information, but I do know that he is evil by nature. When I first met him, I was almost fooled by his pretend appearance."

"And how did you see through it?"

"I do not have."

"No? How could it be hidden from you? How could it be so clever?"

Sainz was not exaggerating, the old professor's level was indeed extraordinary, and he must have been no ordinary talent when he was young. If even he could fail, wouldn't other wizards be in great danger if they met him?

"Haha... Don't be surprised. Everyone makes mistakes sometimes. I really lacked some experience at that time.

The truth is, since then, I have paid more attention to the study of Defense Against the Dark Arts."

"So how did you fight it off?"

"Repel? Few wizards can defeat a level 5x monster head-on by themselves.

It was thanks to my Pegasus that I was traveling around the world with Carlos when we met that thing in Greece. Carlos is a Graling, a loyal companion. "

Sainz nodded, "No wonder, Graling is so quick!"

"Yes, thanks to him. He tried his best to stop me from getting close to that thing. However, I had already achieved some small success at that time and was very confident in myself. You saw the result."

"Is there nothing St. Mungo's can do?"

“Not only St. Mungo’s, I’ve also visited some wizards in foreign countries who are good at healing, but they can’t help.

It was my fault that I was delayed. At first I thought I could handle it myself, but it turned out that I couldn’t.”

The old professor laughed at himself nonchalantly, "People always overestimate themselves, don't they?

I can see that you will be a great wizard in the future. I hope you don’t make the same mistake as me… Sorry, I just can’t help but say something when I get old.”

"Professor, I can sense a person's kindness. I am not a child anymore."

Gratton blinked and said nothing.

Then Sainz asked a few questions about his Defense Against the Dark Arts and shared some of his immature ideas with the old gentleman.

The old man directly pointed out some obvious design flaws caused by lack of knowledge. He was also very open-minded and encouraged him to continue researching some ideas that were theoretically sound.

After disturbing Professor Gratton for an hour, Sainz quickly said goodbye with full of apologies.

Spring time seems to pass very quickly, and Easter is approaching in the blink of an eye.

On March 27th, Hogwarts had another holiday. This time the holiday lasted for two weeks, but most of the students did not go home.

Even for the students who went home, it was impossible for them to have fun, as the professors assigned a huge amount of homework before the holiday, which was enough to consume all the energy of the little wizards.

It was rare to see lower grade students in the library before, but now it is not uncommon.

"Hello, Sainz, long time no see!"

"Hello, Angelina, hello, Aaliyah, where are you going?"

"Where to go? To the library, of course. I guess the professors must be crazy to assign so much homework!

It was a nice holiday but I didn’t feel like a holiday at all!

What about you? Why are you leaving so early? "

"Oh, I came to return the book.

Hehe, I didn’t want to tell you, but now that you asked, I have finished all my homework.

But Ben is still writing furiously inside, you can see it once you go in."

Angelina and Alia rolled their eyes, “I guessed it a long time ago!

Goodbye, Ravenclaw!"

"..."

Was he going to tell them that they didn't have to hand in homework for several classes? !

Judging from the way they turned and left, maybe they didn’t want to know the good news!

In this respect, they are not as good as their roommates. After they knew about it, they were so happy that they didn't eat for the whole day!
