International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 8 Hogwarts Beaters
"28...I didn't expect it to be so small..." Lu Ren sighed. After all, 28 seems like a lot, but on average, there is only one in 3 people on the entire earth. It's truly one in ten thousand.And Lu Ren also understands why the magic world is so afraid of communicating with the non-magic world: If one day the location of the Quidditch World Cup is revealed to the Muggle government, a few nuclear bombs can evaporate nearly one-third of the magic world's population !
Although the Muggle Repelling Curse was cast on the venue, the nuclear bomb will not turn, and previous experience has shown that physical damage is also effective against wizards-otherwise, how could Dumbledore's nose be crooked by Aberforth?So once the magic world is exposed to the eyes of the non-magic world, there is no way to fight back against the magic world.

The only point of victory in the magic world is sneak attack, secretly controlling the high-level people in the non-magic world.Or choose to cooperate with Muggles for a win-win situation.

"The population of the wizarding world has always been sparse, and there are only more than 3000 people in the British wizarding world." Professor McGonagall pursed his lips, "Okay, kid, let's go back to Hogwarts."

"3000 people... Voldemort is a village tyrant..." Lu Ren complained wildly. In his heart, the first Dark Lord Grindelwald had no nose to blame Voldemort for not knowing how tall he was.

Now that he got the wand and spent Dumbledore's advance salary, he must work hard.However, the initial work was somewhat beyond Lu Ren's expectations: he would work with the castle administrator Filch to clean up and maintain the Hogwarts castle.

Argus Filch is a Squib and an administrator at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.He has an eccentric personality, and his greatest hobby should be somewhere between petting cats and catching students who violate school rules.He often wanders the corridors of the school with Mrs. Norris, trying to catch students who violate the school rules while complaining about the pranks of the elf Peeves.Overall, an unlikable faculty member.

For the next whole week, Lu Ren and Filch cleaned all kinds of dusty classrooms, dirty bathrooms, some dirty floors and all kinds of large glass windows.

One of the two is a squib, and the other is a fledgling young man. Neither of them can use magic, so their cleaning work is completely manual, purely manual, without any magic addition.

Lu Ren often wakes up at eight o'clock in the morning and works until six o'clock in the evening.Every night when he returned to the Gryffindor lounge, Lu Ren would take the time to preview the textbooks for the new semester.As for where the textbooks come from?Do people who know the location of the Room of Requirement still need to pay for textbooks?
On the new Monday, Lu Ren was brought to Dumbledore's office early in the morning by the house elf.

"You did a good job this week," said Dumbledore, wearing a star nightgown, sitting relaxedly on an armchair in the office, picking up a finger biscuit from the plate in front of him, and sipping the biscuit with a cup of freshly brewed black tea. After eating, "Mr. Filch admires you very much. He said that such hardworking young people are rare."

"You get what you pay for, and I'll take care of the work when I get the money." Lu Ren glanced at the biscuits on the table calmly, "Is there something you called me here today?"

"If you want to eat, please feel free. I have enough biscuits here. The main reason I called you here today is because Severus needs a helper, so I recommended you." Dumbledore said with a smile. "Severus may have different opinions, but I believe you will get along very well."

Lu Ren was a little speechless. He didn't even know how to spell a spell. It was good enough not to cause trouble for the professor, but now he had to help Snape. Was this to train Snape's ability to take care of children in advance?

Lu Ren originally thought that he would play the role of cleaner as a cameo in the past two months, but he didn't expect that he would still have the opportunity to work with the project!And it can be said that it is almost the best place to go. After all, Potions class has some similarities with the chemistry class in the previous life, and I can't be regarded as a zero foundation.

During this week, Lu Ren also roughly read the three books "Thousands of Miraculous Herbs and Fungi", "Magic Potions and Potions" and "Where are Fantastic Beasts". It can also relieve boredom.

Soon, Lu Ren arrived at the Potions classroom, where Snape would prepare some not-so-precious potions when he was not in class.

The Potions classroom is a huge dungeon located in the dungeons of Hogwarts Castle.Lu Ren estimated that at least twenty students could be accommodated here.Lu Ren walked through the classroom and couldn't resist looking at the various glass jars filled with stuffed animals on the wall, while Professor Snape was already waiting quietly beside the podium.

When Lu Ren walked into the classroom, Snape glanced at the hourglass on the lectern. The time was just right, this little devil didn't hesitate, and came directly from Dumbledore after receiving the task.

He looked at Lu Ren again: he has a handsome face, and his black hair is a little long, but not greasy. At first glance, he looks like a person who washes his hair every day. He is well-proportioned and has slender limbs. A white coat and a pair of jeans.

'Well dressed, clean, and looking like a neat guy,' thought Snape. "Remember to wear wizard robes after school starts. It's not yet school, so you can wear it for the time being."

"Before I start work, I have a few disciplines to emphasize—although I can't understand the point of Dumbledore sending you such a brat, but you can indeed make a small contribution to today's experiment— —If you're smart enough." Snape said slowly, his voice was really slow and sounded a bit greasy, it was difficult to make a good first impression.

Lu Ren listened quietly, he didn't want to make any surprising remarks to impress the professor in front of him.

"Mr. Lu Ren, please remember carefully. I will not repeat it a second time. Once you violate it, leave here immediately. I don't want to see you again."

"First of all, if you want to speak, you need to raise your hand first, and you can only ask questions after I agree. But you have to ask questions, don't try to use your little brain to solve it alone, this is impossible."

"Second point, don't try to use the tricks you learned elsewhere to be lazy, and don't foolishly try any spells that can assist the formation of potions. The only spells you need are cleaning spells and healing spells. curse."

Potion science is an extremely precise and strict subject, a slight change will cause huge changes in the potion and interfere with the experimental results.

"The third point is also the most important point. Potions is the most rigorous and dangerous subject in Hogwarts. Please strictly follow the steps I explained, and don't use your naive little mind to omit or add Or modify my steps. I will arrange the easiest work for you."

After finishing speaking, Snape saw the young man in front of him raised his hand. He took a deep breath, "What's the matter? Do you have any dissatisfaction or doubts about the discipline I just mentioned? Mr. Lu Ren."

Lu Ren also took a deep breath, "Yes, professor, I don't know how to use cleansing spells and healing spells."

Snape suddenly felt a little dark in front of his eyes, and a little stuffy in his chest.
