Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Not surprisingly, the plot was as he expected, with Gryffindor winning and Harry being hospitalized.

Dumbledore returned to the office humming a tune the whole time.Snape pursed his thin lips and left the audience without saying a word.Mag was in a very good mood and she had been smiling since the game ended.

The afternoon after the Quidditch match, word spread that Lockhart had broken Harry's bones.Madam Pomfrey's favor with him plummeted.As the little wizards walked on the road, they all chattered about the Quidditch game and the miracle doctor Professor Lockhart.

As usual, Gray would sit in the staff lounge every evening to listen to what everyone was talking about, and maybe he might encounter something interesting.

"Winter is about to begin." Sprout took off her muddy leather gloves. "The mandrakes are growing vigorously now, but to be on the safe side, I have to prepare some operational measures for them in advance..."

She has been busy taking care of the mandrake in the third greenhouse recently, for fear of any accident. You know, this is the key to bringing Mrs. Norris back to life.

"I thought I could help—" Lockhart tossed back his cloak and came forward.

"No, thank you for your kindness, Gilderoy. I can handle it myself." Sprout rejected him before he could finish his words. She had not forgotten that when school first started, Lockhart guided the restoration of the Whomping Willow. thing.

"Okay...but if you need help, please ask me. I'm available at any time." Lockhart nodded.

Snape rolled up his big black robe and pushed the door open. He looked around and saw Gray.

"Morris."

Remember in a second>

He walked up to Gray, who was sitting on a chair and drinking tea leisurely, and looked at Gray with his dark eyes along his big hooked nose.

"What is it? Professor Snape."

"I want to find a stone material from you, about the fragments of green copper ore. I was lucky enough to find that it plays a role in purifying and removing impurities in making potions. I think...as a professor of spar, you should know about it. Access to this stuff.”

Green copper mine. Before Gray joined the company, he happened to come across some good green copper mines when he was purchasing stones for teaching materials with a stone dealer.

"It just so happens that I have this in my office, Professor Snape. The purification ability of green copper ore is very strong, and only a small amount is needed each time. Moreover, it can be reused and the loss is very low. So I suggest you start with Take a piece and try it." Gray put down the tea cup, "After dinner, you can go to the office with me to pick a piece."

Snape nodded slightly, and Lockhart came closer again.

"Green Copper Ore, I know." Lockhart showed a row of white teeth. "There is also a piece on the table in my office. I bought it from a businessman before. I happen to have some magical effects on it. You must understand - placing green copper ore next to a photo that represents your goal will help you achieve your goal."

Snape glanced at him disdainfully and smiled contemptuously: "It seems to be very effective..."

Sprout sat next to her. She poured a cup of hot tea and was folding her gloves. She heard Snape's brief but well-placed sarcasm and agreed very much. However, considering Lockhart's face, she pretended that she was not laughing. .

In Gray's opinion, it is indeed very effective.Lockhart's loss of Harry's bones today became the talk of the school, which fit perfectly with his goal of being famous and known to everyone.

"In the village of Transylvania, there was a man who lost a duel with me. As a price, he told me something about the green copper mine..." Lockhart's speech did not stop because of Snape's ridicule. Down.

When Gray heard about the duel, he curled his lips. He never believed that Lockhart could win a duel in a Transylvanian village. People there respected dueling. This village has not yet signed the International Law Prohibiting Duels.

Time came in the evening. Since McGonagall had defeated Slytherin in the Quidditch match, McGonagall was smiling to everyone today. She was in such a good mood that she even offered to let Gray rest and she would be responsible for patrolling the corridors tonight.

Gray sat in his office doing nothing, with two polished oval stones in his hands.

Vesuvius Stone was first discovered in Mount Vesuvius in Italy. There are rumors that two pieces of this crystal need to be put together to work. The wizard takes one piece in each hand and puts it against the throat and heart respectively to obtain "the power of the gods". Perspective" and speak "God's instructions" to help the wizard solve the problem.

But this is just a rumor. According to research in recent decades, Vesuvius Stone does not have the magical power mentioned.Its crystals are very brittle, so they are often ground into powder and sprinkled on the crystal to be enchanted to act as a stabilizer.

Gray regarded it more as a kind of appreciation. He played with the two Vesuvius stones in his hand. They looked similar to jade, green and transparent, and looked very nice in his hands.

After playing with it for a while, he placed the Vesuvius Stone on the table. With a wave of his wand, a pile of thick parchment on the bookshelf next to him fell onto the desk with a clang.

"Alas..." He sighed. He didn't expect that grading papers would be so painful. The content written by the students sometimes even opened his eyes.

The title of the paper is: Please list the crystals that look similar to fluorite and how to identify them.

Harry's and Ron's papers were exactly the same. They both wrote about morganite in a paragraph, but the description of the appearance was all about mokai stone. It was obvious that they copied each other. The key was that neither of the two stones was the correct answer.

Hermione's handwriting is much smaller than others, because the big handwriting cannot fit into her huge paper. Her answer is very comprehensive, and she also writes about the common problems that are easily mistaken for fluorite in different geographical environments. spar.

Ginny's paper is also very good. Gray thinks she is very talented in spar science. She classified the spar she identified and wrote every identification point in detail.

……

Gray corrected the paper until late at night, and finally finished the last one.He threw away the quill and leaned back on the chair. If nothing else, Creevey might have been attacked. Gray fell into deep thought. He needed to find an opportunity to remind the basilisk...

However, the next morning, McGonagall did not notify any professor that a student had been attacked.

During class in the morning, Gray looked at Colin Creevey in surprise as he sat in the front row of the classroom waiting for class.He looked at Ginny again. Ginny was looking down at the crystal science textbook. There was nothing strange about her.

"What's going on..." Gray muttered quietly.

He's a bit of a mess, and Creevey should be lying like a statue in the school hospital right now.

He intends to try it out.

"Mr. Creevey, where were you last night?" Gray pretended to know everything.

"What...?" Creevey panicked, "Sir, I'm in the Gryffindor lounge..."

"Really? But I clearly saw you in the corridor." Gray squinted at him with a serious expression.

His face immediately turned pale, and he stammered: "I'm sorry! Sir! It was me running around... it's not Weasley's fault! Oh no - no! I'm the only one..."

Creevey knew that he had spilled the beans in a panic, and looked at Gray desperately.

So, Creevey did sneak out at night, but he was not the only one, Weasley was also involved, but none of them were petrified.

"Mr. Creevey, I am very curious, what is the interesting thing that makes my students run out in the middle of the night at the risk of being caught by the professor?" Gray stared at him without blinking. "If the reason is suitable, I Maybe I can let you and the Weasleys go."

"I'm sorry...sir! I just want to visit Harry in the school hospital! There are too many people during the day! Madam Pomfrey doesn't allow me in yet... I just want to...send him some grapes..."

Gray thought in his mind that the plot here was the same as in the original work.

"What about the Weasleys? I saw them with you."

"He...they..." Creevey stammered, "They..."
