HP's Foreign Land

The members of the study group sat on the back benches in the student square, the shadow of the spherical street lamp slid over their feet at an extremely slow speed, and another thick gray cloud floated in, and the shadow on the ground disappeared quickly like a sponge absorbing water.

"The weather is fine," said Heimdall.

Draco said calmly.

Both Todor and Jeanne looked up at the gradually gathering gray clouds, with question marks all over their faces.

The professor in charge of the protection of magical creatures class in the upper grades of Heidegger is a middle-aged lady with neat curly hair. The hair color is grayish and rusty. It is tied behind her head with invisible clips, a bit like Hollywood in the early twentieth century. The office secretary in the movie.

The professor likes to wear black wizard robes, and several students have whispered that she either never changes clothes, or has at least ten identical styles in her closet.In fact, the change of the robe is reflected in the subtleties, and it is difficult for careless people to notice it.For example, sometimes the sleeves are narrow, sometimes the collar is sometimes striped, sometimes there is embroidery on the placket... But it is the same color that comes and goes, as if there is an inextricable obsession with deep colors.

Everyone called her Madame Malka.

"Children, please come closer." Madam Makar waved her hand to call everyone.

The sixth graders who were scattered on the square walked quickly and surrounded Mrs. Malka.Although everyone is still kept in the dark until now, mysterious things are always good at provoking people's nerves. All the children seem eager to try, and their enthusiasm is much higher than usual in class.

"Are they all here? If there is no leave note, I will hold a grudge." Mrs. Malka looked around. "All here? Very good! Now, children, I have to ask a few questions before the official class. I remember that I assigned a few homework assignments before the class ended, but I didn't ask you to write them down with a pen. If you really I have reviewed the content according to what I said, and I believe these questions will not trouble you."

Many students wailed in low voices and made faces at each other, as if they thought the professor was trying to whet the appetite.

Madame Malka pretended not to hear anything.

"Listen well, the first question: How to disarm the thorn-tailed beavers and get close to their nests? The rush to answer begins!"

Most of the students were stunned, rushing to answer?

Todor raised his arms abruptly, and his thick arms were as straight as a flagpole.Almost at the same moment, Draco also raised his hand. It is not a thing for Master Malfoy to rush to answer. He used to do it in Hogwarts. Old sense of accomplishment.

Mrs. Malka nodded to the two of them, "Mr. Slivan."

Draco closed his hands, who made him not as high as Todor, and he was thick and strong.

"Prepare seabird feathers and rotting sea shrimp and small fish soaked in licorice juice, use small fish and small shrimp to lure them out of their nests, and replace their excrement with seabird feathers." Todor replied.

Mrs. Malka smiled slightly, "Okay, the exchange student group will add 5 points."

The other three members of the study group beamed with joy, and everyone flirted with Todor excitedly, and Draco was no exception.

The other students were in a commotion. It turned out that it was the collective bonus points. Hello, me, hello, everyone. The groups quickly prepared for the second round of answering questions, and the students who were originally absent-minded put all their energy into it.

"Question two," said Mrs. Malka, who was well aware of the change. "How to clean the back of a giant land peacock turtle without them hitting you or biting off your fingers."

At this moment, Todor raised his hand without even finishing listening to the topic. Mrs. Malka couldn't help but laugh, and the members of the study group were immediately surrounded by unfriendly eyes.

Todor was the first to raise his hand. Mrs. Malka hesitated, but decided to choose him. It turned out that someone was more shameless than them.

"Mash the fresh leeks, then grind the dried fire salamanders into powder, mix them with chopped leeks, and feed them to the giant land peacock tortoise."

Mrs. Malka looked towards the source of the sound, and saw a boy wearing a black wizard robe with a grass-green border, looking back with a smile. Several partners around him couldn't help laughing, as if they were sincerely delighted by his head start. , one by one excited.

Heimdall quickly whispered something in Todor's ear.

Mrs. Malka looked at Todor again, and the latter hurriedly put on a tolerant look.Mrs. Malka nodded approvingly, "In this case, 5 points will be added to each group. Participation is worth rewarding. In addition," the professor warned the head start team. "This is not an example.

The answering brother in black stared in surprise, and the little faces of several partners were bitter.

Todor turned around and exchanged glances with Heimdall, and gave him a thumbs up.

Heimdall bared her teeth, and Jeanne couldn't help pursing her lips into a smile.

"Who is that?" Master Malfoy squinted at the answering brother, always unhappy.

"I don't know, I haven't talked to them." So far, Jeanna has only developed friendships with girls, and it's too late to broaden her avenues.

"The person who answered the question just now is called Gaoke, from the Hiyoshim Spell Research School. The others are not very familiar. Among them, the one wearing a dark gray wizard robe seems to be the Netherland School of Magic in the Netherlands..." Todor's information Clients are always higher level than them.

"I know Hiyoshim," Heimdall said. "Several of my bosses graduated from this school."

There are three justices in the Rotating Chief's Office who graduated from Hiyoshim, including the Chief Gironde.This rumored magic school is neither as undiscriminatory as Hogwarts, nor as blood-supreme as Durmstrang.It is like a university in the Muggle world. If you want to enroll, you must pass the assessment, but it is not as rigid as the college entrance examination. In short, the admission requirements are quite complicated. It is said that recommendation letters and self-recommendations are required.

Afterwards, Mrs. Malka asked three more questions, about bagfish, blood starfish, sea spiders, and mermaids. Todor still performed enthusiastically, and the answering team still competed with them. The group answered once, and the rest of the time, due to the competition between snipe and clam, the local students took the lead.

Director Strulusson couldn't help but sighed deeply, they were both exchange students, why bother each other so anxiously, as if he forgot that he himself had made a fool of others just now.

Under the leadership of Mrs. Malka, everyone headed to the pier, preparing to go to Kirishima.

Heimdall, who was walking behind Draco, noticed that his cousin was touching the pocket of his robe again. This was the third time he had noticed. Chief Sturluson couldn't help thinking about whether there was something in his cousin's pocket. Contraband.As a result, this time Draco took out a glittering silver pocket watch from his pocket. It didn't look big, but the two shiny green blocks were particularly eye-catching.

Heimdall couldn't help leaning forward and said, "Have you changed your pocket watch? I haven't seen it before."

"It's not new." Draco pretended to be nonchalant as much as possible, deep in his heart he was proud of his success.

Master Malfoy might have been right, but the whole watch was impressively new.It is indeed very small, only slightly larger than the average ladies watch dial.The chain that fastened the pocket watch was a silver snake's head.The two green clusters that Heimdall saw just now are the two eyes of the snake. They may be emeralds or other precious jewels. In short, the green is so rich and gorgeous that it makes people shudder after looking at it for a long time.The triangular snake head is made lifelike, and the scales in the details are as deep as they are real.The unique feature of this chain is that the mouth is wide open, and the pocket watch is held in the mouth, rather than just hanging from the ring as an ornament.

"It's so pretty." Heimdall returned the pocket watch to his cousin. "It's so small, you have to keep it carefully."

"My father gave it to me. It's the same set as his snake-headed cane. I heard it was left by grandpa." Draco put the pocket watch away carefully. "He said he wanted to give it to me as a birthday present on my 17th birthday."

"You see he's changed his mind," said Heimdall.

It was obvious that Draco liked the watch, and he was very excited to talk about it.

"Don't envy me, your watch is also very good, my mother told me with certainty that it is definitely a custom-made product." Master Malfoy still knows how to treat his family with courtesy.

Heimdall didn't have the nerve to tell him that he wasn't envious.Heimdall's pocket watch was given by Victor, and they used a pair of couple watches, but he expressed his admiration for his aunt's pungent eyes, and it was indeed a custom-made product.

The students thought that their class was in Kirishima, that is, the original theory class was changed to a practical class. Later, the students found out that they were too naive. If it was just theory instead of practice, why did the seventh graders keep it up? !

Mrs. Malka led them to the north of the island. The students were surprised to find that there was a pier here. Even the local students knew it for the first time. They couldn't help but look at each other.

"I'm feeling worse and worse," Draco said.

"I was thinking," Todor said. "Why are the seventh graders so tight-lipped?"

The study group members fell silent.

Mrs. Malka stopped by the pier and turned to look at everyone. The students stared at her intently. Unfortunately, the professor still did not intend to announce the answer.

"Next, we will go to the next island by boat. Before that, we will divide the work in groups."

"Can you be more specific? We don't understand very well." A student from Heideggerach couldn't help asking. This question entered everyone's hearts, and the students' attention reached an unprecedented level.

"Honey, even if I spend a class, you still won't understand." Mrs. Malka said calmly. "When we arrive at the destination, the confusion in your hearts will be easily resolved."

Next, Mrs. Marka assigned work to each study group, and Heimdall and the others were assigned to the west facing the sea.Although they don't know where the west side of the sea is or what it looks like, since the professor knows the destination, Heimdall and the others have no choice but to keep this content in their minds.

The students lined up helplessly and prepared to board the boat.Fortunately, there were only one grade and there were not many people. Soon it was the turn of the four Heimdalls. They left the simple pier and let the boat take them to an unknown place.

This is a somewhat desolate island, with sporadic plants swaying in the cracks, and black reefs as far as the eye can see. The waves roar and beat the rock walls, and the surging waves are like glass falling on the ground, smashing and shattering.

"Children, come, come, don't be too busy traveling, you have an afternoon to watch slowly." Mrs. Malka called everyone again loudly.

After hearing her words, the children all sensed that something was wrong.

"Remember the assignment just now, okay, then you will go to your respective destinations to clean up the island according to the area you are assigned to."

The students were in an uproar. After a long time, they were asked to clean up.

"Why do we clean up this island?" It wasn't the students from Heideggerak who raised the question. Anyway, for local students, cleaning up the island is equivalent to cleaning up the school. Compared with this, the exchange students are naturally more rebellious.

Mrs Malka was not surprised by the backlash, "because the seventh graders are about to graduate and I don't want to disturb them, and they cleaned last school year."

"I didn't come to Hedgerac to experience the life of a house-elf, that's stupid!" the student raged.

"Thank you for your evaluation, Mr. Uzar, can I understand your words in this way, the house elf serving you is actually doing stupid things?" Mrs. Malka said in a flattering way.

The student stopped talking for a while, but he was still unwilling, and the anger in his eyes increased instead of diminishing.

"Is there anyone who doesn't want to do 'stupid things'? If you don't want to, I won't force you, but I will probably be recorded as absent from class on the list." Mrs. Malka said calmly. "Because today's cleaning work is part of the course, I will give you appropriate extra or deductive points based on your cleaning results."

The boy who didn't want to do anything stupid stared in disbelief, obviously he didn't expect that cleaning would count for points.

"What's there for him to bounce back?!" Jeanne whispered to her friends. "Mrs. Malka rarely gives students extra points. Generally speaking, leaving the classroom is a good opportunity to add points. These are extra-curricular points given away by the professor for free."

"Just because you understand it doesn't mean that all the students understand it. Maybe Mr. Yuzal doesn't need extra points." Heimdall shrugged.

Mrs. Malka sent each team a map, which clearly marked the subcontracted areas of each team. From the map, the island is very small, and as long as you hold the map, you will not be able to find the north.

"We are assigned to the west, which is here." Heimdall pointed to the circle drawn on the west side of the island.

"Oh, it doesn't look like a flat place." Draco frowned.

The group that was placed in the center of the island seemed to be quite happy. It was bare and there seemed to be nothing to clean up.

"Well, is there anyone who can't understand the map?" Madame Malka asked aloud.

"No, ma'am." The students said almost in unison.

"Very well, there is one more thing I want to tell everyone."

"Merlin, don't come again..." Draco was afraid that the professor would have a more tricky trump card.

"I forgot to say just now, everyone is welcome to Sea Monster Island!"

The students were silent for a moment, and then chattered.

The four of Heimdall were also surprised. It turned out that this is the legendary sea monster island.

"I believe everyone has heard of Sea Monster Island. Yes, it is here, a small bare island. Are you disappointed?" Mrs. Malka smiled. "When the Heideggerac School of Witchcraft and Magic was founded, it participated in a non-public protection activity of the Association for the Protection of Magical Creatures. In fact, it was not a protection, but a regular maintenance of the island environment. Don't think that this small island is ordinary, it is every year. To host thousands of animals from other parts of the world, it may be birds, it may be fish, it may be mermaids, and there may be new creatures that we have not discovered so far. It can be said that this island is the sea It is a very important transfer station for animal migration in the city. Many animals have to rest here. After they leave, they will leave a mess, which may cause the next wave of guests to be unhappy. I believe you have learned this lesson by now, and you have understood Many animals in nature are a hundred times more willful than us humans, and mermaids are a typical representative.”

Mermaid? !Everyone couldn't help but get excited.

"You mean mermaids will come here? This island?" asked a child.

"Yes, I have been notified by the Association of Magical Creatures that they have monitored that a group of deep-sea mermaids are likely to come to Sea Monster Island to lay eggs. All we have to do is clean up the island, and the mermaids are laying eggs During this period, the nerves will become several times more sensitive than usual, and maybe a mass of bird droppings or a dead grass will provoke them into a rage, thus abandoning this blessed and safe habitat. What we have to do is to try to avoid that from happening , if the mermaids abandon this island, they are very likely to miss the best spawning time, thereby indirectly reducing the number of the group. There is no way, they are so easy to be surprised."

Cleaning has suddenly risen to the level of animal protection, and the children feel the sacredness and importance of the task, as well as the pressure that comes with it.

"I'll stay at the pier all the time, and the cleaning team will meet me at the pier. If you have any questions, you can go there and ask, if I can answer."

The west side of Sea Monster Island is indeed as rugged as the map shows, and the relatively gentle terrain has become bumpy and bumpy.The seawater that came up from time to time made the road under their feet slippery and difficult to walk. Although the four of them were careful, each of them was splashed by the seawater.

"It's still clean so far." Todor twisted the hem of his robe and squeezed out a lot of water.

"It's hard to say what's next." Heimdall, who was in charge of looking at the map and leading the team, stopped suddenly.

Everyone followed his gaze and looked up, and all of them suddenly had bitter faces, and large and small caves appeared on the rock wall facing the sea.

Heimdall stared at the caves for a while, then turned to his companions and said, "Let's divide the work too."

The companions did not object.

"Remember the questions the professor asked us just now?" Heimdall asked.

Everyone nodded.

"I don't think the professor will ask those questions for no reason. There is a possibility that we may encounter animals that inhabit this island, or animals that have not left." Heimdall took out a quill and began to count the number of caves . "In the cleaning process, we will probably encounter those gentlemen and ladies who are unwilling to cooperate. What we usually learn in class should be useful. If we need some props, we will go to the professor and I believe she will arrange it. "After all, it's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice.

Heimdall looked down at the map, "Let's focus on the place where we are standing now. When encountering a situation that cannot be resolved, we should come here first and shout. I think other people should be able to hear it. These caves don't seem to be very deep. If If you can't hear it, go directly to the professor...let's talk about it later. What do you think?"

Friends have no opinion.

Heimdall simply drew the appearance of the cave, and then divided the respective areas of responsibility according to the number of people.Although Chief Sturlusson has no artistic talent, anyway, there is the real thing in front of him, and it is not difficult to understand the two comparisons.

After his friends left with stick figures, Heimdall carefully looked at the surrounding landscape. Two minutes later, he walked towards his contracted land.
