Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

Wright took the book and did not open it in a hurry. He just looked at Professor Kettleburn quietly.

"This book was found on some ancient battlefields of the Alchemy War when I was young. I have been trying to sign contracts with magical creatures through the methods in this book throughout my life, but so far I have not been able to I just successfully made a contract with a fire-ash snake," Professor Kettleburn said with some regret as he looked at the "How to Contract Magical Creatures" in Wright's hand.

"Now that the book has been given to you, I have nothing to give you in terms of experience. You can go!" Professor Kettleburn turned his back and waved his hand.

Wright stood up from his seat and saluted Professor Kettleburn's back.

"By the way, remember to tell Dumbledore for me." Just when Wright turned around and was about to leave, Professor Kettleburn seemed to have remembered something and suddenly stopped Wright, "Just treat this matter as a The repayment of the Ash Snake incident back then, I believe he can understand."

"One more thing, remember to tell Dumbledore that I will stop working for another two years at most. While I still have my hands and feet, I want to enjoy the rest of my life alone."

"Okay! It's okay this time! Let's go!" Professor Kettleburn said.

…

In the principal's office on the eighth floor of the castle.

"Did Professor Kettleburn tell you this?" Dumbledore, who was sitting behind his desk, said calmly. The book "How to Contract Magical Creatures" was placed on the table in front of him.

"Yes, the professor said that this is his reward for that year, and he also said that he no longer wants to continue serving here." Wright nodded first, and then asked with some confusion, "What on earth was the Fire Ash Snake back then?" What do you mean?”

"That happened decades ago, when Professor Armando Dippet was still the principal of Hogwarts." Dumbledore raised his head and looked at the picture hanging on the wall in the principal's room. There was a painting hanging by the former principal. Principal Dippet, who had closed his eyes and meditated on the hanging painting, seemed to feel Dumbledore's gaze, opened his eyes and nodded slightly towards him.

"At that time, we at Hogwarts also held many entertainment activities in our spare time, such as pantomime performances." Dumbledore lowered his head and looked at Wright. "When we were rehearsing "The Fountain of Good Luck", The bloated, blind 'earthworm' in the script provided by Professor Kettleburn is actually a fire-ash snake that he secretly cast a fatness spell on."

"But no one noticed this during the rehearsal. It was not until the day of the official performance that all the teachers and students of the school gathered in the auditorium. When "The Fountain of Good Luck" was being performed, the ash snake suddenly happened. explode."

"I still remember the scene at that time." Dumbledore took off his glasses and pinched the corners of his eyes. "The ash snake exploded directly, a ball of blazing sparks rose into the sky, and the wooden floor exploded with it. , the misty dust filled the entire auditorium.”

"And because the ash snake laid many eggs under the 'foot of the mountain' on the set, when the ash snake exploded, those snake eggs were also ignited together. The floor that was originally exploded was ignited. A strong fire swept through the entire stage in an instant, and most of the teachers and students present were injured."

"It took several months for the smell of burning wood to slowly dissipate from the auditorium where the performance was held."

"Then what?" Wright, who had never experienced that incident personally, listened with interest.

"Then, Hogwarts completely banned pantomime performances. Professor Kettleburn, the initiator, was placed on probation and has been on probation for 62 years." Dumbledore put on his trousers again. Those half-moon glasses.

"62 years?" Wright was a little unbelievable.

"The relationship between Professor Kettleburn and President Dippet has always been tense. Professor Dippet always feels that he is a little too reckless and hasty. Perhaps President Dippet wants to take this opportunity to let Professor Kettleburn reflect carefully. Just a moment." Dumbledore explained.

Wright nodded reluctantly.

"Okay, if there's nothing else, you can leave now, Wright." Dumbledore handed the book on the table to Wright. In fact, Wright handed him the book "How to Contract Magical Creatures" After that, Dumbledore didn't even open the book. "You still need to pay more attention to Lu Wei's matters."

"Okay, then I'll leave first." Wright stood up from his chair and walked out of the principal's office.

After taking the rotating magic elevator from the eighth floor to the third floor, and then walking out behind the huge stone monster, Wright walked directly to the room where Lu Wei was placed on the fourth floor. He now needed to check Lu Wei's current condition.

Originally, both Dumbledore and Wright thought that the original room was more than enough for Lu Wei. You know, the floor height of Hogwarts Castle is enough to accommodate a giant monster walking upright. Although the height of the rooms on the fourth floor is not as high as that of the auditorium on the first floor, it is still a very high height. From this, we can infer how amazing Lu Wei’s height is now!

When Wright stepped onto the fourth floor, Lu Wei was lying on the floor of the room where it was placed, looking depressed.

Wright pushed open the door, and the door bolt clanged against the door panel. Lu Wei in the room raised his head alertly, but when his six eyes reflected Wright's figure, he immediately laid his head down again, whimpering from his mouth.

silly dog! Don’t you know that after the founding of the People’s Republic of China, people were not allowed to become spirits? Wright stepped forward with some annoyance, a materialized shadow stick appeared in his hand, and was about to give Lu Wei a hard blow on the head. Anyway, it was rough and thick, so it didn't feel anything.

But before Wright could raise the stick to the height of Lu Wei's head, Lu Wei had already opened his mouth wide open, as if he was waiting for Wright to feed him.

"I..." Wright was so angry that his liver ached. Who was he doing this whole day? This stupid, bloated dog really only knows how to eat!

The short shadow stick in Wright's hand expanded instantly, and the next second it turned into a long board, and slapped Lu Wei's front leg.

"You silly dog, don't you know how to eat less? You've caused so much trouble for me!" Wright patted Lu Wei's front leg again.

Lu Wei shook his feet and looked at Wright innocently. It didn't understand why Wright didn't feed it food today, and were there any flying insects on its legs?

"I...forget it..." Wright directly divided the long board in his hand into three parts and randomly stuffed it into Lu Wei's three mouths.

Wright reached out and patted Lu Wei on the head: "I'm leaving, remember to keep an eye on this place."

After saying that, Wright left the house directly, and Lu Wei once again returned to his original depressed appearance.
