Hogwarts Staff Maker

Malfoy finally stopped vomiting, but he was so weak that he couldn't walk back to the castle without someone to support him.

But everyone had a lot to talk to Hagrid about, and no one was willing to go and see him off, so everyone left Malfoy aside and started chatting among themselves.

Hagrid suddenly seemed to remember something and said, "I haven't settled accounts with you yet. I heard that Harry is giving out autographed photos. Why hasn't anyone sent me one?"

Everyone couldn't help laughing, realizing that Hagrid was joking.

Harry explained helplessly: "Who told you that? How could I possibly post a photo like that?"

Hagrid patted Harry on the back affectionately, causing him to fall backwards.

"Of course I know you didn't. Lockhart came here earlier and told me that. Of course I didn't believe it. I told him that Harry wasn't that kind of kid. He didn't need to put in any effort to be more famous than some people!"

Liu Sen smiled and said, "I'm afraid he won't be too happy if you say that. By the way, why did he come to see you?"

Hagrid took a sip of his tea. "Looking for a reason! He wanted to teach me how to keep water monsters from getting into the well. As if I didn't know that! He even boasted to me about how he could exorcise female ghosts and all that! Well, if any of what he said is true, I'll eat the teapot!"

Liu Sen knew that Hagrid was not such a person. He never commented on Hogwarts professors - unless that person was not worthy of respect and really made him angry, like Filch.

Hagrid's words made Hermione frown. "I think it's a bit unfair for you to say that. Professor Lockhart was chosen by Dumbledore. He is the most suitable candidate for Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Hagrid served them a plate of homemade fudge and said, "Not the 'best' candidate, but the 'only' candidate. I mean, it's hard to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher these days! People don't want to do it. They think it's unlucky and no one can do it for a long time."

Liu Sen nodded, it was true. Because no matter it was Professor Quirrell last year, Lockhart this year, or Lupin, Mad-Eye Moody and others in the future, no one could stay in this position for two consecutive years!

Legend has it that when Voldemort was young, he wanted to teach this course, but was rejected by Dumbledore, so he placed a severe curse on this subject. From then on, any teacher who taught the Defense Against the Dark Arts class would encounter unexpected events.

Liu Sen picked up a piece of fudge made by Hagrid, put it in his mouth and chewed it. He found that although it was sweet and mellow, it was very sticky. He didn't like this kind of dessert very much.

Ginny, on the other hand, was enjoying the food. Liu Sen had teased Ginny many times about the toothache caused by eating too much sugar, but she just gave her a look and Ginny glared back knowingly. Then, when no one was paying attention, she twisted Liu Sen's waist.

Hagrid seemed to notice their little action. He winked at Liu Sen and then said to Ginny, "Another Weasley. I hope you won't be as naughty as your brothers - I mean the Weasley twins."

He said with great interest, "I don't know what 'good things' the twins did a few days ago. Peeves controlled a big net to chase them all over the castle! They were really smart. When they were about to be caught, they hid behind a cabinet and shouted, 'Liu Sen is here!' Peeves was scared to death!"

Everyone looked at Liu Sen with a smile, and Hagrid was laughing so hard that he fell backwards. "When Peeves realized what was happening, he was so angry that he covered both the man and the cabinet with a net, but he didn't catch the man and broke the cabinet! Haha!"

When Hagrid was happy, he smiled and slapped Liu Sen's back with his big hand, making a "bang bang" sound.

……

Before we knew it, it was lunch time and Hagrid warmly invited everyone to have lunch at his place.

When Harry and the others saw Hagrid finishing a half-eaten pheasant, they suddenly lost their appetite.

Liu Sen happily helped him. He planned to go to the vegetable garden to dig some potatoes and make a pot of chicken and potato stew for everyone.

Hagrid took this opportunity to show everyone his achievements. Everyone came to the backyard vegetable garden and found that in addition to the common vegetables, there were also many super huge pumpkins.

Hagrid proudly told everyone that these were for Halloween and would be made into giant pumpkin lanterns! After viewing them, they could be sent to the kitchen as ingredients.

Ron asked in surprise, "Hagrid, what kind of fertilizer did you use? The crops in the greenhouse don't grow as well as dragon dung!"

Hagrid looked around (mainly at Malfoy in the distance), then blinked and whispered back: "Hey, I gave them a little...how should I put it? A little 'help'!"

Liu Sen found that Hagrid's little pink umbrella was sticking out from his robe. He knew that it was not an umbrella, but Hagrid's magic wand.

In principle, Hagrid was not allowed to use magic. When he was in the third grade, he was wrongly accused and took the blame, so he was expelled from school and his wand was broken.

Liu Sen had wanted to make him a wand for a long time, but Hagrid was afraid of implicating him and had never agreed - if he was discovered by the Ministry of Magic, he would be convicted.

Hermione stared at the pumpkin and found some clues. She said excitedly, "I guess it's the expansion spell? The effect is really good!"

Liu Sen picked some fresh vegetables and found some ingredients in the kitchen, and made a few side dishes for everyone.

In addition to stewed chicken with potatoes, I also made scrambled eggs with tomatoes and three fresh vegetables. I also found a pumpkin that was "underweight" and made a dish of roasted pumpkin with butter.

At first Malfoy was reluctant to say that he was not hungry, but after smelling the fragrance, everyone heard the sound of him swallowing.

Liu Sen saw his arrogant character and pulled him over. Malfoy sat at the table reluctantly, and he ate the most among the little wizards present.

After Malfoy had eaten and drunk his fill and regained his strength, he returned to the castle alone. When he left, he had a complicated expression on his face and no longer had the arrogance he had had before.

Because of their conflict in the morning, Ginny did not experience the feeling of speeding on the field, so they returned to the Quidditch field.

It is lunch time for the little wizards and the court is empty.

Harry went to the broom shed and got out the Weasley twins' brooms and his own Nimbus 2000.

Then he and Ron played happily with Ginny on the Quidditch field, while Liu Sen and Hermione stayed in the stands.

Hermione took out a book called "Wandering with Werewolves" and started reading it, but when she thought about Lockhart's performance in class and what she had seen in the past few days, she couldn't help but waver and her interest in reading was greatly reduced.

She turned around and saw Liu Sen concentrating on writing and drawing in a notebook.

There were words and some simple diagrams on the book. It didn't look like the guns or props that Liu Sen usually studied, but more like a kind of... card.

Liu Sen felt the other person's gaze and said without raising his head: "I am designing a wizard card, but I need to arrange a lot of characters in the setting."

His eyes lit up as he spread out the notebook to Hermione and introduced it to her.

"The cards I want to design require the organization and adaptation of many historical figures. If you are free, can you help me research them? If this game is released, I will give you a commission. Just like the props that the Weasley twins helped me make, what do you think?"

Hermione's parents are both dentists, which is a high-income profession in the UK, so her family is quite well off. In terms of living conditions, they are even more comfortable than most wizard families.

But in the wizarding world, Hermione is alone. Her parents do have some savings, but it is impossible for her to exchange all of her parents' savings into gold Galleons in order to increase her own wealth.

So if there was an opportunity to make money, Hermione would certainly not refuse it, so Liu Sen explained in detail the rules of the card game and what she needed to do.

"So, this involves a lot of wizards from history, and also some of the wizards who are still alive?"

"Yes, such as Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody, etc. You need to write down their famous achievements, introductions, catchphrases, etc. You also need to adapt some resounding 'skills' according to each person's characteristics! Then you need to evaluate their combat effectiveness, health points, attributes, etc."

Hermione listened very carefully, took out a notebook and took careful notes, and soon she had some clues.

Liu Sen thought happily, why didn't I think of Hermione before? She is very good at flipping through books and sorting out information! In this way, the magic version of "Gwent" is just around the corner!
