The Days of Sneaking at Hogwarts

Buckbeak still had the iron chain on him, and Arnold was still sitting cross-legged in front of Buckbeak as before. Draco told Arnold that Lucius was unwilling to withdraw the execution.

"My mother also raised a hippogriff before." Newt often appeared on the Hogwarts campus these days, and he and Arnold often met. Newt sat in Arnold's Beside, "It is because of that hippogriff that I have a strong interest in magical animals. Buckbeak often reminds me of my mother's hippogriff. By the way, Arnold, today Didn't forget to go to class."

Arnold froze for a moment, thought carefully for a while, and shook his head firmly, "No, I'm sure, something like last time will never happen again. Speaking of which, Mr. Scamander, Do you know anything about Boggarts?"

"Understood, not too much." Newt remembered that when he was in school, his Boggart was working in an office, and it was a stuffy and boring job. "The things I'm afraid of don't seem to be Scary and kind of funny, Arnold, what's your Boggart?"

Arnold shook his head, "I'm not sure, that day in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Professor Lupine showed us the Boggart, and when it was my turn, the Boggart was weird, I only saw one A black mist and nothing else, but it doesn't scare me, it's just a little depressing and a little breathless. Everyone else has a very specific image, and they all say that Boggarts show their hearts The thing I'm most afraid of, but I don't know what I'm afraid of, could it be because of this reason that my Boggart has no shape, just a cloud of black mist?"

To be honest, Newt doesn't know much more about Boggarts than Arnold, and he only came into contact with Boggarts during school, and if he asked him about Boggarts, it would be better to ask him about Gellerts. "Well, I think, it's probably like this, why don't you ask your Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, maybe, he will tell you the answer, maybe, you can also ask Principal Dumbledore. However, maybe it is an advantage to not know what you are afraid of. This can be called fearlessness. You will be an excellent Gryffindor, Arnold. Oh, no, you are a Hedge Here comes Patch, sorry."

Arnold shrugged and said it doesn't matter, "Probably because I have many Gryffindor friends, so I often act like a Gryffindor, and sometimes they forget that I'm a Hufflepuff, Thought I belonged to Gryffindor and dragged me to the Gryffindor common room."

"Oh, by the way, Arnold, this is your third year of school. If I remember correctly, you should be able to join clubs, right? Have you decided which clubs to join?" Newt was in his fifth grade. He was expelled at the time, and he has not been able to participate in the activities of the club he loves, so he is a little sad when he thinks about it.

"Society?" Arnold has discussed with her dear roommates about joining the club. Jesmine is going to join the Quidditch club. After all, Senior Cedric is there. As for Evie Special, she wants to join the Divination Club, and Heather also wants to join the Quidditch Club, after all, she is a good Quidditch player herself, Arnold wants to borrow Heather, Jasmine and Yvette Who knows, these three people only gave two options in total, and she is not very interested, so how can people choose, "I didn't think about it. I wanted to see what my roommates chose. I Just pick one of those three, who would have thought that the three of them gave me two options in total, and I'm not interested in them, so I can only think about it myself, but I really don't know What I want to choose, I haven't figured it out yet, do you have any good suggestions, Mr. Scamander?"

"I joined the Fantastic Beasts Club at the time. I thought it was fun. You can refer to it." Newt smiled. He remembered the Poison Horn Courtship Dance he learned in the club at the time. When he was studying, strange Shame, and the uncomfortable experience of being quarreled by the Wicked Bird, and the school robe and hair that were set on fire by the fire crab. Of course, he would not tell Arnold that if she joined the Fantastic Beasts Society, she would encounter these things.

"The Fantastic Beasts Society, that sounds good, that's all. Thank you, Mr. Scamander." Arnold took out the club application form that he kept with him all the time.

Newt picked up the box he was carrying with him, and took out a Bowtruckle from the box, "Arnold, I think, we may rarely see each other again in the future, and I rarely meet people like this So I want to give you a gift, a little Bowtruckle just born."

Arnold put away his club application form, and took the Bowtruckle with joy, "Thank you, Mr. Scamander."

"It's nothing, it doesn't have a name yet, give it a name."

"Then call him Bretta." After thinking for a while, Arnold said the name he wanted, and then looked at Newt, wanting to hear his suggestion.

"Breta, in Albanian, Breta means green, natural life, it is very suitable, a good name."

The little Bowtruckle also seemed to like his name very much, hugged Arnold's fingers, and rubbed his face to show his liking.

Arno, who got Bretta, wanted to tell the whole Hogwarts that she had a Bowtruckle.

Arnold was walking on the road, introducing Bretta to everyone he met.

"Look, Yvette, here's Bretta, the Bowtruckle."

"Hey, Hermione, Ron, Harry, look, it's Bretta."

"Fred, George, what's the matter, you haven't seen it before, don't touch it, we won't touch it."

"Jessmine, look at me, look here, it's cute."

"Heather, Heather, da da, Bretta, just say you're not cute."

"Draco, Goyle, Crabbe, wait a moment, come and see." Arnold stopped Draco, Goyle, Crabbe in front of him.

Goyle and Crabbe looked at each other, they couldn't take it anymore, Arnold had shown the little tree branch in front of them more than ten times, the two exchanged glances, and at the same time pushed Draco, pushing Draco Arrived on Arnold's body, and then the two fled away.

Draco was caught off guard and was pushed onto Arnold. For balance, he subconsciously hugged Arnold. Suddenly, Draco felt surrounded by an indescribable fragrance. It was the smell of Arnold. It is a kind of woody fragrance, which will make people feel warm and comfortable in the sofa near the fireplace, and reminds people of romantic sunsets and soft sunsets.

Draco's body is a mixture of delicate perfume and fresh green apple, revealing a mature and childish feeling, "Draco, you smell so good." Arnold likes the smell of Draco very much , that always reassures her.

Draco, who was made a little shy by Arnold, released Arnold, "You smell good too, uh, no, I mean, uh, what did you want me to see just now?"

"Oh, by the way, Bretta, it has a new leaf growing on its head, look, isn't it cute?" Arnold held Bretta in front of Draco.

Draco looked at Bretta and didn't know what to say. Since Arnold had Bretta, he became Arnold's first sharing partner, which made him very happy, but he was always facing a No matter how you look at it, he can't bear to look at the tree branch that looks the same. If Gore and Crabbe hadn't pushed him just now, he would have avoided it a long time ago.

Draco looked carefully at Bretta, the little tree branch was stretching wantonly in front of him, and from time to time proudly touched its new leaf, Draco remembered that in the book I have seen descriptions of Bowtruckles, peaceful and extremely shy animals. He looked at the branch in front of him, and it had nothing to do with being peaceful and extremely shy. "Cute, lovely, but, oh Nuo, why are you so concerned about this thing, it's also a magical animal, Fugui didn't see you so concerned about it, and you've been putting it at Hagrid's place recently."

"Oh, Fugui is already a mature Nixie. He needs to learn to grow up on his own. There are more magical animals in Hagrid's place, so he can make more friends. Besides, you didn't have good hands a few days ago, so while taking care of you, At the same time, you have to pay attention to wealth, it’s very tiring." Arnold will not admit it, except for the above reasons, the most important point is to facilitate the transfer of the pile of Galleons that wealth has piled up.

Hearing Arnold talk about taking care of himself, Draco inevitably felt a little guilty. After all, he was pretending to be sick, but Arnold really took care of himself wholeheartedly. Draco coughed lightly A few times, "Arnold, those few days were actually..."

"Hush." ​​Arnold looked serious, as if he was listening carefully.

This made Draco a little nervous, he looked around, there was nothing strange, the students were walking in groups of three and one as usual, Draco lowered his voice, "What's the matter? Is there something wrong ?”

"It's nothing, it's just boring, just to tease you." After the prank succeeded, seeing Draco with a nervous face, Arnold couldn't help laughing.

The apology that Draco was still surging in his heart just now calmed down in an instant, looking at Arnold who was still smiling, his face suddenly changed, "Arnold, stop laughing, behind, Professor Snape, take it easy A bit."

"Ah?" Arnold couldn't laugh all of a sudden, he restrained his smile, turned around, and planned to call the professor, but when he turned around, there was nothing, only Draco's laughter came from behind, "ha Haha, no professor, just teasing you."

Arnold looked at Draco, and was just about to say something, but thinking that he had lied to Draco just now, he swallowed the words as soon as they came to his mouth.

"Hi Professor Snape." Draco said suddenly.

"I won't believe you, think I'll be fooled again, don't even think about it, it's no fun to scare people with Snape all the time, and I don't change my tricks, I've grown up, little Sif, I don't care anymore Remember to change it next time." Arnold looked at Draco who was still serious, "Why are you so serious and pretend?"

Draco shook his head, with an indescribable look on his face, "No, Arnold, it's true, it's true."

"Really? What really? There is really Snape standing behind me? Don't be kidding, who will believe it." Arnold waved his hand back, feeling as if he had bumped into something, and glanced back, It seemed to see a smear of darkness.

Snape had been standing behind Arnold for a long time, listening to Arnold's words, his face became darker and darker, especially when he heard Arnold call him little Sif, his face was particularly dark.

The moment Arno saw Snape, his eyes almost went dark, "Teacher, professor."

"I don't think Miss Picos's head is full of troll's snot. If you are so free, you must have done your Potions homework very well." Snape looked at Arnold with a dark face.

Arnold swallowed, "No, no, no, professor, listen to me, I didn't mean that."

"One week in confinement, plus twelve potions papers due on Wednesday." Snape walked away after finishing speaking.

Arnold was stunned, Draco straightened her clothes for her, and sighed, "I told you, it's true, it's true, if you don't believe it, it's all right now, I have to write more in confinement." paper."

"Draco, I just saw you smile." Arnold gritted his teeth.

Draco suppressed the corners of his upturned mouth, "Cough, don't be sad, then, I'll help you write those twelve papers."

"Really?" Arnold's eyes lit up all of a sudden.

"The beginning." Draco followed what he said just now, and added a little bit.

"That's the same as not writing, thank you very much." Arnold's eyes were filled with tears of regret, "It seems that tomorrow's Hogsmeade Village will not be able to go."

Hogsmeade is a pure wizarding village near Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry stipulates that only students in the third grade and above can go there on specific Saturdays, and must have the guardian's signature permission.

Arnold had been looking forward to it for a long time, thinking about going there.

Explore the Screaming Shack, which is recognized as the scariest haunted house in the UK, and also want to go to the Pig's Head Pub, which serves butter beer and fire whiskey. She has been craving it for a long time and has always wanted to taste it. Honeydukes Candy Shop, which sells the most mouth-watering confectionary treats, such as mastic-filled nougat, hundreds of chocolates, etc., as well as some "special effects" candy, such as can make the whole The room is filled with blue bellflower-colored bubbles of "Blowing Super" bubblegum, weird and easily broken hairy mints, black pepper urchins who can help people breathe fire, and creamy mints that seem to be jumping in the stomach Wait, there's also the unusually flavored Blood Lollipop, and Zonko's Joke Shop, where she thinks she'll find something new to tease Fred and George, and of course the Three Broomsticks, where there must be Interesting.

But now, she can't go anywhere, and can only stay in the Potions classroom at Hogwarts to write her twelve papers in solitary confinement.
