"Yeah~"
"Yaji~yajiji~"
Aini put down the handout helplessly, and clicked on the little heads of the newly added pendants one by one.
A dozen or so Cornish elves with sawdust still stuck to their bodies hugged him tightly, their small but delicate faces were full of happiness.
φ(>w<*) "Yeah yah yah~"
"Sorry, everyone remember the main points I said before, and start practicing after I come back."
After apologizing to the students, Aini repaired the damaged wooden door and walked to the opposite classroom.
When he appeared in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with a new look, there was a little silence inside, and then the little wizards burst into laughter uncontrollably.
It really is a "dangerous" magical creature!
Professor Scamander is almost out of action!
"Really, when I caught them, the resistance was very fierce. You can go and find out how many ways to catch Cornish elves..."
Lockhart babbled in front of the podium as if he was autistic, but was soon drowned in the children's laughter.
"Hahaha!"
The classroom is full of cheerful atmosphere.
"cough~"
Aini coughed lightly, raised his right hand and pressed it down.
The chaotic laughter stopped immediately.
Seeing that Aini easily controlled the scene that made him helpless, the flames of jealousy and unwillingness almost burned through his chest.
"Professor Lockhart, how many Galleons did these elves cost?"
After the classroom fell silent, Aini asked seemingly casually.
"7 Galleons and 11 Sickles, that guy Fletcher is really..."
Lockhart replied subconsciously, but then he came to his senses and quickly remedied: "Haha, I was just joking. I caught these elves from England myself, and it took a lot of effort."
There was a burst of boos from across the podium.
The timing is perfect, unfortunately
"Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it would be a crime to sell or hire people to capture magical animals."
There was still a gentle smile on the corner of Ernie's mouth, but what he said made Lockhart break out in a cold sweat.
In the UK, wizards are allowed to capture magical creatures that are not on the Ministry of Magic's dangerous list, which can be used for breeding, breeding, trafficking, etc.
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, the relevant authorization from the Ministry of Magic must be obtained.
Otherwise, it is an illegal act, ranging from a fine to Azkaban to travel in March, or from mid-Azkaban to losing contact...
The dignitaries among wizards will not allow anyone to touch their cakes.
However, with more and more Muggle-born wizards, the Ministry of Magic has been unable to cover the lid.
There are only two paths ahead, either wait for an inevitable riot, or let it go, allowing the lower-level wizards with a growing base to take a share of the pot.
Therefore, today, the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement is becoming more and more lenient, and it simply turns a blind eye to many things, and ignores them if they are not hitting the muzzle.
For example, this kind of hunting of magical animals on behalf of others is usually too lazy for the executive department to take care of it, but if someone reports it...
Those fines were nothing to Lockhart, but this incident was bound to become a stain on him.
With one arm around his chest, Aini took off the little guys who were attached to him one by one, and put them on the forearm lying horizontally, letting them rub against each other to form a row.
Gu advocated "Professor Lockhart bought them from poachers, is he trying to release them?"
Hearing that, Lockhart's eyes lit up. Although he had habitually quibbled just now, he also knew that there were so many insiders at the scene, and it was impossible to get away with it.
Then what Aini said is the only way out.
All of a sudden, he changed from the culprit who hired people to poach to a virtuous person who rescued the suffering creatures, Ness!
"That's right, that's what I thought. Can I ask Professor Scamander for help? Today's class is quite full, and I really can't get away."
After adjusting his mentality, Lockhart showed his iconic smile again, looked at the Smurfs sitting on Aini's arms, and came up with the best solution.
"No problem, happy to help."
Nodding to the little wizards, Ani returned to his classroom with the Cornish elf holding one arm.
He planned to send the little ones to Sylvie after class, hoping that these lively elves could adapt to the environment of the Forbidden Forest.
And for the professor to teach them a group of blue elves, the little wizards are no strangers to it.
Professor Scamander is always full of pendants, not to mention cats, phoenixes, bowtruckles, birds and snakes, and the pets brought to school by the children are often attached to Aini's side, making their owners very happy.
As for whose jealousy those little girls are eating, we need to analyze the specific situation...
Curled up in Aini's arms, the panic after being caught was washed away by the reassuring breath around him, and the exhaustion of many days came to his heart, and the elves fell asleep one by one.
Aini comforted them with magic power, and carefully sent them to the nest in the pocket, so that these elves who had left their homes could sleep peacefully.
"Okay, everyone put away the textbooks, let's practice it."
Aini shook her hands, and the buttons on the corner of the desk floated to the center, returning to their original appearance.
"what!"
Seeing the beetle showing its original shape, Patil exclaimed, subconsciously picked up the textbook and took a picture...
Beetle, pawn.
After reacting, the girl's cheeks were flushed, and she stood up awkwardly.
"Cough. It's okay, sit down. Here, there are many spares here."
Aini was a little embarrassed. Turning the beetle into a button first and then restoring it back was not to show off his level of transfiguration, but to strengthen the confidence of the little wizards——
After seeing this process with their own eyes, they subconsciously assume that the beetle can be transformed.
This is especially important for young Muggle wizards who are new to creature transformation, especially those who have been in the wizarding world for a year or so.
Having received a long-term materialistic education, they will instinctively doubt this.
It's not that they don't believe in magic yet, it's just that they have long-standing cognition.
The human subconscious is the most elusive.Even in some cases, it is contrary to people's subjective consciousness.
After observing the deformation of the beetle at close range, this suspicion will naturally disappear a lot.
Don't underestimate this psychological change. After all, magic is an extremely idealistic system, especially Transfiguration.
If the heart is not firm and unified when swinging the wand, it is obviously difficult to achieve the desired effect.
For example, Padma Patil's second "button" is trying to escape, and the six thin legs that are still alive after the transformation are swaying and pulling.
and also……
Aini frowned and looked at Malfoy's table. As a Slytherin Transfiguration assistant, the blond boy was the first to successfully transform the beetle.
However, the pair of small, dark eyes on the button showed a sense of lovelessness, and there was a pair of glasses on it...
It's the same style as Harry Potter.
