Professor of Gemology at Hogwarts

Chapter 78 Simple Complexity

"So... your final decision is to only bring a Hippogriff?" Gray asked, "Is this your final decision?"

"Gray, I was so stupid -" Hagrid hugged Gray tightly, almost breaking his bones, "I should have listened to you, I should have done exactly what you said!"

"Don't be sad...I will also think of a solution." Gray was so squeezed that he couldn't breathe. Hagrid's tears fell on his own beard, rolling down and soaking Gray's shoulders. He cried. Such a fuss made Gray relent, "I will also help, Hagrid... okay, now... let go of me first."

"This is probably a record. There has probably never been a teacher who taught for only one day before." Hagrid said, letting go of Gray. Gray rubbed his ribs and almost lost his balance.

"That's great, Professor, with your help, Hagrid and Buckbeak will be fine," Hermione said.

"You see, Professor Morris is a sensible man," Ron said to Hermione.

"Yes, Gray is so wise -" Hagrid lamented again, "I should have listened to you...Gray."

"Hagrid, I think you've had too much to drink." Hermione said seriously.She took the tankard off the table, carried it outside and emptied it.

"Ah, maybe she's right." Hagrid said, struggling to stand up from the chair and following Hermione outside the room with unsteady steps.

They heard a loud splash of water.

"What is he doing?" Harry asked nervously, just as Hermione came in with an empty wine glass. "Put your head in the bucket," Hermione said, putting the glass away.

There was no sound of Hagrid crying, and the hut suddenly became quiet.

"Squeak, squeak—"

It came from Ron's chest pocket, and Gray discovered that there was a rat tail sticking out of Ron's pocket.

"Scabbers has been barking more these days, and its color has been a bit off since I brought it back from Egypt." Ron held a mouse in his hand.

"He looks a bit anxious," Harry said. "Scabbers looks thinner than before and his beard is noticeably droopier."

"Huh... anxiety is inevitable." Ron stroked and glanced at Hermione, "It needs to rest and relax, but how can it relax? There is a cat chasing it around every day."

"It doesn't matter at all. Crookshanks sleeps in my dormitory, and Scabbers sleeps in your dormitory. How can Scabbers be anxious because of it?"

"Have you forgotten? That cat has been chasing Banban since the first time he saw it in the pet store. This scared him."

"Can you let me see it?" Gray held out his hand.

Ron was stunned for a moment, but then handed the mouse in his hand to Gray: "Okay, Professor."

Gray held the fat, gray-furred rat in his hand (although the touch of the rat made him nauseous), and his eyes moved from Scabbers' mangled left ear to its front paw, where a toe was missing.

"Ron, I have a good way to get rid of its anxiety." Gray looked at the fat mouse, "But he needs to be taken away."

"Ah, that's great..." Ron, who was about to be happy, suddenly stopped and stopped his cheers, "Uh... But, Scabbers has always been like this, and I'm afraid it will be even more anxious if it doesn't see me..."

The door opened with a bang, and Hagrid came back. His long hair and beard were soaked, and he wiped the water from his eyes.

"It's much better now." He said, shaking his head like a dog, splashing water on the people around him. Banban was also splashed with water, and he twisted his flesh to shake off the water. "I said, It’s so nice of you to come and see me, I’m just—”

Hagrid stopped suddenly and looked at Harry blankly, as if he had just realized that he was here.

"What are you doing, huh?" He yelled suddenly, making them jump in fright. Scabbers struggled away from Gray's hand, jumped onto Hagrid's table, and ran out of the door.

"He ran away!" Gray said.

Hermione was about to take a step forward, but when she heard Gray's words, she gave him a confused look.

"Scabbers! It's gone!" Ron wanted to grab the door and chase him, but Hagrid was blocking the door with his huge body.

"You can't run around after dark, Harry! And you two! Let him do this! Gray! You can't allow them out like this -" Hagrid was still shouting.

Hagrid strode up to Harry, grabbed his arm, and pulled him to the door, just as Ron rushed out.

"Quick!" Hagrid said angrily, "I'll send you back to school, and don't let me see you coming here to see me after dark again. I don't deserve this! Gray, you too - wait, Wei Where’s that boy Sly?”

In the past few days, Ron's chest pockets have been bulging. In order to stop Bansana from being anxious, he kept carrying Bansara with him, saying that he wanted to create a warm and familiar environment for her.Gray has emphasized many times that if you give the mouse to him, he can help it restore its "original appearance"...

"I'm sorry, Professor." Ron was a little embarrassed, "I know you mean well, but I'm also afraid that it will be chased by a cat... So do you want to use some magical crystals to treat Scabbers? Just like that time with the slug. (He felt sick), I can come to you in the office, Professor."

Malfoy has never come to class. The crystal class is held by Gryffindor and Slytherin at the same time. Without one of them, Potter or Malfoy, the tit-for-tat atmosphere in the classroom can be reduced by more than half.

"The drawing is very correct, Mr. Longbottom." When Gray passed Neville's position, he saw the crystal arrangement structure in his notebook.

Many classmates were looking here. Neville's face turned slightly red. He buried his head, but couldn't help showing happiness on his face.

Another day, in second grade class.

"What are you drawing? Miss Lovegood." Gray bent down a little.

There were some things scrawled on the notebook with black ink, but Gray could see that it was in the shape of a horse, with wings.

"Is this the Thestral?" Gray asked.

Luna turned her light eyes on him.

"Yes, sir, you have seen them, haven't you?"

"We've seen each other before." Gray straightened up, "But it's class time now, Miss Lovegood."

"Actually, it can be done without much research." Luna gently opened the previous page, which had already drawn a crystal system arrangement diagram. Her tone of voice was a little erratic, "It has other uses, otherwise It doesn’t stop at superficial complexity.”

Gray's heart twitched, but Luna's words reminded him.Indeed, crystals have other uses... It can be said that there has been no progress in the matter of the crystal wand.
