Master Druid at Hogwarts

Chapter 199 "Shock Me" Chocolate (Frog)

After returning from the Forbidden Forest, Harry seemed a little... no, very preoccupied.

I am actually a Parseltongue...

He remembered again what the Sorting Hat had said during the Sorting Ceremony.

"Ugh……"

Harry couldn't remember how many times he had sighed.

Since he first came into contact with the wizarding world, he has been indoctrinated with the concept that there are not many good things in Slytherin, and the two people he dislikes most in school-Malfoy and Snape, are also from Slytherin.

Now he actually found out that he might be the descendant of the founder of Slytherin, which made Harry feel very complicated.

"Okay buddy, it's no big deal."

Ron came over and patted Harry on the shoulder, and said in relief, "And isn't it cool? You can talk to snakes! Before this, only Fish among us could do it."

Didn't you warn me before, don't casually reveal that you are a Parseltongue?

Harry rolled his eyes and muttered to himself, but he didn't really refute Ron like that.

Because he also knew that Ron said this to make himself feel better, and if he really wanted to care about these things, he would be too ignorant.

"Don't think about it too much, so what if you are really a descendant of Slytherin? Now you are a Gryffindor! I bet if other Slytherins, especially Malfoy, found out, they would Will be mad and jealous of you."

Ron's words, especially the last one, really made Harry feel better. He imagined Malfoy's distraught expression after he knew he was Parseltongue, and couldn't help grinning .

"That's right." Seeing that his friend's mood improved, Ron also smiled and passed a chocolate frog over, "Come on, eat a piece of chocolate, we have Quidditch training tonight."

The training yesterday morning was not only disturbed by the Slytherin group, but most of the team members complained about getting up so early, and few of them listened to the tactics they had been talking about for a long time, so Wood put the training The time was changed to night.

After handing the chocolate frog to Harry, Ron himself took a chocolate frog from the bedside snack pile, stuffed it into his mouth and started chewing.

Because of Fish, there was never a lack of snacks in their dormitory, and it was the first time for Ron to know what it was like to eat snacks until he got tired of eating... This is really a blessing!

Harry opened the box of the chocolate frog, and skillfully grabbed it before the chocolate frog jumped out, and then gnawed off its head. The struggling chocolate frog immediately stopped moving up.

"Whose picture did you open?"

Ron stretched his neck and asked, he shook the picture in his hand in disgust, "Mine is Arborrick Glennion again, the guy who invented the dung."

He didn't have much money to eat snacks before, and he didn't have the financial strength to collect all the pictures.

Before entering Hogwarts, most of the pictures Ron collected were duplicated by his brothers, so they were thrown to him, so what he had were basically bad pictures...

For example, Dumbledore, and Arborrick in his hands now.

Now they have too many snacks in the dormitory, and Ron finally sees the hope of collecting all the chocolate frog pictures. In the last year alone, the number of new pictures he collected is more than twice that of the previous years combined.

The desire to collect is a desire that most humans, even animals, have. Even Fish is collecting chocolate frog pictures... Although he quickly lost interest, he has collected them anyway, and he is full of magic In the corner, there are still many pictures that I collected at the beginning.

And Harry is naturally no exception, and he is relatively new to the wizarding world, and he can learn more about the wizarding world from the pictures, so last year he joined the team collecting chocolate pictures, and the pictures in his hand now The number is no less than that of Ron.

Stuffing the chocolate frog in his hand into his mouth three or two times, Harry puffed his cheeks and took out a picture from the packing box...

"Let me take a look...it seems to be a picture I have never seen before!"

Harry was overjoyed.

In the picture is an old man with a sinister appearance, wearing a grass ring on his head, and holding a walking stick carved in the shape of a snake in his hand...

The corners of Harry's eyes twitched slightly when he saw the crutch, and the joy that had just risen disappeared in an instant. He is now a little allergic to snakes.

Moving his eyes down, Harry looked at the name at the bottom of the picture...

"Called... the despicable Hai Erbo? Who is this?"

"Oh! Haierbo! This is a super rare picture!" Ron had never seen this picture before, but that didn't stop him from being familiar with these pictures. He shouted excitedly: "He's even bigger than Ag Liba is even rarer!"

Harry remembered the name Agrippa. When he first met Ron on the Hogwarts Express last year, he said that he wanted a picture of Agrippa... Unfortunately, he has not been able to collect it until now. arrive.

"Look at what it says, despicable Haierbo...you don't sound like a good wizard."

Ron urged enthusiastically. Although he knew the names of all the characters in the chocolate frog pictures, he didn't know the specific introduction.

Moreover, the candidates on the chocolate frog picture are very willful, including famous wizards like Dumbledore, singers like members of the Weird Sisters band, and even Chauncey Aldridge, besides being the first patient with dragon pox There is no other ordinary wizard to speak of.

But a master alchemist and owner of the Philosopher's Stone, like Nicole Flamel, was not included.

I don't know what the selection criteria for the pictures are.

Harry, who was also very curious, turned the picture over, and on the back of the picture was written the introduction of the despicable Helbo.

"Helbo the Despicable was a dark wizard in ancient Greece. He was one of the earliest known dark wizards. Much of his research continues to influence black magic. In addition, he invented many evil curses..."

Harry read the introduction on the back without hesitation. Haierbo was really not a good person. He curled his lips and continued to read: "And he is also considered to be the first wizard to breed a basilisk. The early Parseltongue one……"

"Snapped!"

Harry subconsciously slammed the picture card in his hand to the ground.

This is it!
I just had a hard time with Parseltongue today, didn't I? !

"..."

"..."

After shaking the pictures, Harry and Ron fell silent at the same time.

"Ahem, it's really nothing." Ron was the first to break the silence, "Maybe Harry is not a descendant of Slytherin, but a descendant of Haier Bo."

Harry looked down at the picture card he had thrown on the ground, and then at Ron who was actually kindly comforting him...

This old man is worse than Slytherin!

At any rate, Slytherin could barely be regarded as a wizard of the justice camp before he broke up with the other three giants.

Ron scratched his head, and he also realized at this time that there seemed to be something wrong with what he just said.

"That... Anyway, at least you got a rare picture, didn't you?"

After thinking for a long time, he really couldn't think of any words of comfort, so Ron could only say so dryly.

Harry rolled his eyes again. Although he was very disgusted with the picture, he bent down honestly, picked it up and put it away.

Recommended monthly ticket

　In the original book, Ron said that he had collected almost [-] pictures, only Agrippa and Portolemi were two.

　　Not to mention whether the Weasley family can afford such a large number of snacks, Ron on the train has been staring at the chocolate frog greedily, it doesn't seem like he has eaten it many times.

　　Although it is also possible that I collected cigarette cards like I used to, and asked adults everywhere to ask for them, but according to the official setting, there are only 104 chocolate frogs including the Harry trio who joined later.

　　Ron collected [-] copies, which means that at least [-] copies are duplicates. Why does he need so many duplicates?

　　Of course, there may be more than 104, but Ron also said at the time that he already had six Morgana, so there must be many duplicates among the five hundred.

　　Moreover, during the Goblet of Fire period, Hannah and McMillan were still exchanging pictures. If even Ron could collect almost all the sets before entering school, it would be unreasonable for McMillan, who is also pure-blooded and from a better family. Not yet collected.

　　Of course, there is another possibility that some new pictures will be added every period of time, and I personally prefer this situation.

　　But again, I don't think the Weasleys have the financial resources to afford Ron five hundred servings of chocolate frogs... unless he's basically been eating this kind of snack since he was born.

　　So I made a slight modification here to make Ron's picture collection progress more in line with his personality.

　　In addition, regarding Nicole Flamel's picture, I guess he didn't want to be targeted by those who coveted the Philosopher's Stone, so he didn't give permission or something.
