Chapter 46 Fox?lighter?
Ed returned to school soon, and the students were having breakfast.Just when Ed was walking towards the position of the first-year Slytherin, Draco Malfoy seemed to sense Ed, sucking the pasta in his mouth, and looking up at the door.

"Suck! Ed! Come here!" Draco bit off his face, put down the fork, and waved at Ed: "Here! Here!"

Ed sat next to Draco, and a plate of macaroni similar to Draco's appeared in front of the table, as well as prepared knives and forks and a pair of chopsticks.

"Ed, where have you been these few days? Many people say that you have been cast with the Unforgivable Curse, but I don't believe it. Because of your absence, Hermione of Gryffindor got a lot of points! Seniors and sisters A little angry."

Ed frowned at the plate of macaroni and tomato sauce, who eats this early in the morning?
"I want to drink thinner pumpkin porridge." The next second, the macaroni turned into a small bowl of pumpkin porridge.

"Hermione got five points from Professor Binns in History of Magic class yesterday! Ed, everyone is counting on you now!"

"Besides the credits, what else happened?"

"There are also many students and seniors who are complaining that in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Flamel really only teaches everyone the stop spell. Ed, you have to know that the fifth grade seniors and sisters all already learned.

Everyone is scared that we literally learn one spell all year.This, this, this is too uncool! "

Not to mention, Dad may only teach everyone this one spell for a whole year.

However, Le May knew what his father thought, the stop spell, as long as he learned it well, when facing a dark wizard, he could use the stop spell skillfully in one hand, and he would be unable to release the spell.Under such circumstances, the next step is to see whose fist is bigger.

One point of Dad's fighting skills, for these students, will benefit them for a lifetime.Actual combat skills are more expensive than expensive, so it is not good to be greedy.

This is really a lesson and skill summed up from life and death.

Therefore, Ed should persuade Draco well: "You are right, we should report Professor Flamel's matter to the principal, and we will learn more spells!"

"Great idea! I think we should bring the Gryffindors in, they will love it, it's so exciting! The heroic boy rebelled against the powerful teacher, and we will write a strong stroke in the history of Hogwarts school .”

Draco ate a few mouthfuls of the macaroni on the plate, and then, without wiping his mouth, he dragged Goyle and Braque to the long table in Gryffindor.

If they really did it, there is a high probability that they will be beaten up by the old man, right?Well, the fixing spell, plus one person and one brain collapse are indispensable.

I remembered that Ed used to climb trees all the time, that's how Papa Flamel taught Ed.

In this way, time passed quickly, and the students and most teachers in the school did not know that Ed was attacked.

Except for a few friends who had a good relationship with Ed asking why Ed took leave, no one asked Ed about what happened outside the principal's office that day.

Not even the Ministry of Magic came to ask.

Ed was very happy on Thursday of the first week, because there was only one class in the afternoon, so Ed had time to study the Whomping Willow in the school.Ed was very curious why the willow tree that hit anyone would stop when he touched the knot on the Whomping Willow.

Ed speculates that this is most likely because there are nerve-like tissues in the trunk of the Whomping Willow, which will paralyze the Whomping Willow's body when touched there.It's like a person is numb after being touched.

Of course, this is just a guess, and more experiments are needed to prove whether Ed's guess is correct.

Excited to go, dejected to come back.

Ed didn't have more equipment to study the Whomping Willow, so he could only record the physical characteristics of the Whomping Willow in detail, as well as the stress response of the Whomping Willow:

On September 1991, 9, the Whomping Willow's reaction to the flames was first recorded:
The measured distance of the Whomping Willow to the flame is 12 meters. At 12 meters, the Whomping Willow has a sense of the flame. The shaking of the branches: slight.

Nine meters: The branches of Whomping Willow vibrate visibly, they will wrap around the soil on the ground, try to throw them in the direction of the flame.

Six meters: The branches of Whomping Willow shake violently, throwing mud towards the flames frantically.

Three meters: because it is too dangerous, there is no experiment. (Note: try throwing the torch at the Whomping Willow, it uses the branches to extinguish it directly.)
Whether the flame size has an effect on the reaction remains to be determined.

Better talk than nothing, Ed does a little experiment.Where does the flame come from, you ask?Of course it was obtained from the phoenix Fawkes that Dumbledore let Ed temporarily raise.

The phoenix can make its feathers hot, and Ed uses this to light the torch.

In this regard, Fox said that he was very angry, it is a proud phoenix!
Not tinder, or rather a turkey!
Not turkey!
At night, Ed was sorting out his notebook.Suddenly thought of something, stopped writing, and looked at Fox who was pecking at Draco's hand.

Fox sensed Ed's gaze, quickly flew up and hid behind Draco.

"I'm either asking you to light the fire for me this time, or I want to borrow your feathers and study it."

"Which! (Impossible! I have condescended to be a lighter, and you still want to pluck my hair.)"

"Don't be so stingy, anyway, it will grow back in the future. I heard that Dumbledore made a lot of money selling the feathers you dropped."

Just do it, Ed rushed to Fox, ready to be strong.

Ten minutes later, Draco looked at Fox, who was nestled by the window, unloved, and asked Ed: "Is it not good for us to do this, after all, this is the principal's pet after all."

"Do you know how many legs you have?"

"Two?"

"How many holes?"

"One, two...six? No, I..." Draco shook his head.

"How many hairs are there?"

"Aren't you embarrassing me?"

Ed put Fox's feather in his notebook, put the notebook in a drawer, and finally jumped on his bed, crossed his legs and said to Draco: "That's it, I'm not going to cut off the head and tail and cut the wings , Dumbledore wouldn't know if there were a few less feathers."

"Yes, isn't it..." Draco's mouth twitched, and what Ed said seemed to make sense.

"Shhhhhh!"

Hearing Ed's words, Fox wailed, why Dumbledore handed himself over to such a wizard, it's terrible!It's scared.

"Okay, isn't it just a few feathers? Doesn't the phoenix represent courage? Why are you a soft bone?"

Ed looked at Fox in disbelief, and seemed to add a description to his notebook: "The bravery of the phoenix was actually invented by wizards."
