0190 Norris' Secret
Aini leaned over and grabbed the end of a stalk, and with a slight swipe of his finger, he cut off the whole stalk, and after another swipe, he took off a section from the top.
After skillfully peeling the skin, Aini squinted his eyes happily. It was still the familiar taste from childhood, so sweet.
Under Hagrid's puzzled eyes, Aini cut another piece and handed it to the big man, motioning him to follow suit.
"Kachi Kachi~"
Tentatively putting the white and tender stalks into his mouth, Hagrid's eyes lit up and he began to chew.
"It tastes really good, but it's a little hard to swallow..."
Halfway through the speech, the big man saw Aini spit out the chewed residue, and closed his mouth in embarrassment.
The two looked at each other for a while, and laughed at the same time.
"I counted the time. It seems that Hogwarts has been raining during the days when the corn bloomed. It may have affected the pollination of the plants. Of course, there may be other reasons. I will help you find some books on corn planting later."
Aini squeezed his chin and thought about it. It seems that the climate and soil in Britain are indeed not friendly to corn, but he should be careful not to lose crops. He can let Hagrid try again next year.
"After this thing bears a stick, the stalk will have no taste, but if there is no fruit, all the nutrients will accumulate in the stalk, and it will become very sweet."
Aini gave Hagrid a lesson, then put the white and tender stalk into his mouth and took a bite.
Hogwarts hadn't yet reached the point where it needed subsidies for its employees to grow their own food. Hagrid's farming was purely a hobby. He was sad because he couldn't bear the hard work he had expended.
And as long as his labor was worthwhile, it didn't make much difference to Hagrid whether he was eating corn kernels or chewing on a sweet stalk.
What he wants to reap most is never all kinds of fruits, but the sharing and appreciation among friends.
After solving Hagrid's troubles and harvesting some sweet stalks, the two walked to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Aini missed Nobeta and Lu Wei a little.
After Halloween, the most time-consuming and labor-intensive parts of Aini's plans were all successfully completed, and he felt much lighter.
In the next period of time, after re-mastering the Vanishing Curse, Lockhart worked hard as a drainage worker. There was too much water in that long tunnel.
After Peter returned to the Gryffindor lounge, he realized how weird his previous state was. He didn't plan to step out of the dormitory until he found out about it.
The two villains are practicing in retreat, and Hogwarts has ushered in a period of peace. The years in the castle are quiet and good, but Hermione is very busy.
Without him, Aini took advantage of this period of silence to concentrate on writing books. Not only has "Transfiguration for the Third Grade" been finalized, but even nearly half of the textbooks for the following year have been written.
After the editor lady likes to mention 600 yuan, she has to work overtime for the second 600 yuan.
As for the joy of watching the textbook in advance, hey, don’t say it, don’t say it, hee hee hee, hahahaha.
In short, as Christmas approached, Lavender and the others had gotten used to Hermione's inexplicable laughter from time to time.
But at this moment Filch couldn't laugh, he had never been so tired.
Ever since he found out that Tom and his cat often get tired of being together, a certain caretaker panicked. Whenever Mrs. Norris went out to play, Filch would use their spiritual connection to sneak around later.
Norris didn't say anything about it, but every time after confronting Tom, Argus would get a vivid [cat despise], and sometimes Tom's cat face appeared in his dreams.
But in order to avoid some inexplicable things from happening, Filch also worked hard. In the past few days, he always felt that his dark circles were going to develop toward his cheekbones.
As for giving Tom a tough meal, so that he doesn't dare to play in the castle again...
Ha ha.
Draco scratched his hair in embarrassment, and a shy smile hung on the corner of his mouth.
Since he was a child, he has received countless praises because of his family background, and the young master of the Malfoy family can portray what kind of face is hidden behind the false flattery without even opening his eyes.
For a long time, he has been more and more eager to gain the approval of others. It is not the hypocrisy that comes from his family background, but the sincere appreciation of his personal ability.
To be honest, Draco has a handsome appearance, with knife-sharpened face lines, exquisite and neat facial features, clean and bright blue eyes, and platinum-blonde hair that is as smooth as sunshine. Quite a plus.
Magic talent is also top-notch, and the mind is also very smart. As long as you don't show off your superiority and pedigree in various ways, it is hard not to be liked by the teacher.
After Ernie's teaching, Draco was still arrogant, but he really let go of his so-called "pure-blood body", and made a few Muggle-born friends. Among the younger Hogwarts students, especially the girls Very popular.
As Aini's little fan, Draco is particularly concerned about the work of the Transfiguration assistant, so naturally he is often praised and praised in various ways.
So the boy worked harder and started a good positive cycle.
Aini closed the page full of notes, and handed him back the hand-copied version of "Transfiguration for Grade Three: Volume [-]", feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
He has changed too many things in this life. The boy who was a promiscuous boy in the original trajectory now spends most of his time studying. His extraordinary talent and more time investment make his transfiguration almost catch up with him. Hermione's progress.
It feels good to make others better because of my own existence!
A win-win situation is the right way.
"Don't read Hermione's notes directly, study it yourself first, think about it, then compare it with other people's things, and finally read this detailed explanation with questions."
The boy's rapid progress was also due to Hermione. The little witch directly copied a copy of her notebook full of notes to Draco, so that he could learn more directly and clearly.
Although this saves time, the process of trial and error and thinking is missing. After all, the knowledge gained lacks some depth and is not reliable enough to grasp.
Therefore, Aini gave the students two more books, a brand new textbook, and a "Detailed Explanation of Transfiguration for Grade Three".
The second book was the product of Aini's flash of inspiration when Hermione complained that some materials and extended knowledge were not easy to find.
No wonder it always felt like something was missing. As a serious subject, how could "Transfiguration" not have tutorial books and test books?
"Thank you, thank you."
After taking the book, Draco didn't know how to express his gratitude. During the summer vacation, he asked his father to prepare a generous gift, but the professor refused without hesitation.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, there is still a lot of time."
Aini patted the boy on the shoulder. He knew what the student was thinking, but it was really unnecessary.Their best return to themselves has already flown over by themselves.
After Draco left, Aini turned to look at the armor by the wall.
"Argus, what's the matter?"
Filch stepped forward, stepping out of the shadow of the armor.
"Professor Scamander, I... I..."
The corners of his mouth opened and closed, and the man hesitated for a while and still didn't think about what to say.
Just tell him not to let Tom harass Mrs. Norris again?
Why?Besides, will this arouse the other party's curiosity, and instead make Ani interested in exploring Loris' secret?
