Settle at Hogwarts

Chapter 38 Prosperity



Tabor could still vaguely hear the voice of Caractacus explaining to Zane.

"Perhaps Tabor really has a gift for prophecy. After all, he just said that Professor Kettleburn will play "The Fountain of Good Luck"..."

Tabor looked at the scene of the two holding hands and leaving, and felt a little strange. Zane, who clearly avoided Caractacus when school started, now seemed to be getting along extremely harmoniously.

But now he couldn’t control that much. After sending away the first-year Slytherin Zane and the other two, Tabor turned his attention to Sylvia.

Sylvia has been sitting next to her brother. Tabor thinks that the danger is not great. After all, the current Defense Against the Dark Arts professor has not been cursed by Voldemort. After Dumbledore went to teach Transfiguration, his successor was A very responsible old professor. Although the courses are a bit old-fashioned, he can really learn something systematically.

Tabor turned to look at the teacher's chair again. He was hesitant now whether to tell the professors what he had guessed.He was not worried that the professor would be injured, but if the professor knew in advance that the huge white earthworm was the transformation of the ash snake, would it be possible to avoid the fate of the auditorium being burned down.

Tabor stared at the huge white earthworm, still a little unsure whether it was a fire-ash snake.

Without hesitating for long, Tabor took advantage of everyone's attention, which was focused on Professor Kettleburn, who was performing the play, quietly stood up, and walked around behind the professor's chair.

"Professor, I..." Tabor hesitated for a moment but did not express his worries directly. Instead, he asked curiously: "Can you see what happened to that earthworm?"

Slughorn shook his head: "I can't tell. I have to say that Kettleburn's transformation seems to have improved a lot. This big guy does look like a living creature. However, Tubo, today is Halloween, so you should relax. Yes. Do you think so? Albus."

Dumbledore stared at the big earthworm for a long time, and shook his head solemnly: "His transformation was indeed very successful, but I can still feel that the earthworm is indeed a living thing. I just don't know that Keitel Bourne got another magical animal."

Slughorn was very convinced of Dumbledore's Transfiguration skills, and his expression suddenly became more solemn after hearing his judgment.They were all clearly aware of Kettleburn's penchant for dangerous magical animals.

However, neither Professor Dumbledore nor Professor Slughorn, nor even the principal next to them, had any intention of stopping the performance.

Dumbledore also took out a handful of candies from his pocket and stuffed them into Tubo's hand: "Okay Tubo, happy Halloween, go back and share it with your friends! Also, don't cause trouble at night."

Tabor nodded in confusion, then turned around and took a few steps.Only then did he remember that he seemed to be here to remind the professors of the trouble that the earthworm might cause.As a result, he was treated as a trick-or-treater?

So, is it too late for me to go back and explain now?

Tabor shook his head and walked back to his seat.Anyway, I have already reminded him, and the professors have also noticed that the earthworm was transformed from a magical animal. In this way, even if the fire dragon shows its power, it can be instantly knocked unconscious by the professors' sleeping spell.

A little more relieved, Tabor opened the candy given by Dumbledore, threw it into his mouth and chewed it a few times with some anticipation.It has to be said that although Dumbledore has been eating sweets for a long time, and his favorite sweets are relatively sweet, the candies that he likes are indeed quite delicious.

Without hesitation, Tabor stuffed the remaining candies into his small pocket, preparing to share some with Zane and Caractacus when he went back later.

But when Tabor wasn't paying attention, tiny sparks began to appear at the bottom of the long table in the auditorium and in the dark corners under the tapestry, and the corners of some students' robes were ignited by the flames.

At this time, everyone was immersed in Professor Kettleburn's performance. Even the two deans, who were alerted by Tabor and were cautious, were only paying attention to the unknown magical animal that was transformed.

As for a little spark, wouldn't that thing appear just by waving a magic wand?There must be another student playing a prank.

It wasn't until some students felt that their bodies were getting hot, and the flames were spreading freely from under the wooden tables and chairs, to the walls and the entire auditorium, that everyone was shocked to realize that this was not a Halloween joke, but that something was really wrong. .

Just as the fire began to spread rapidly, the huge earthworm also began to ignite a raging fire. The deformation technique on its body began to be gradually cracked. The huge body shrank and suddenly exploded, becoming fragmented and filled with blazing temperature. Scattered and flying.

Many students who were trying to avoid him were so burned that they screamed in agony.

Tabor, who was far away from the ground, watched the flames spread from different places to the entire auditorium at a speed unimaginable to ordinary people. He was suddenly annoyed. It was only then that he remembered that the ash snake would not set the house on fire, but would really set it on fire. What threatens the Great Hall of Hogwarts is actually the eggs laid by the Ash Snake.

Those eggs that are not discovered in time and are frozen can ignite people's homes in a few minutes. The lifespan of the ash snake is very short. During this short life, it will look for dark corners to lay its eggs. Several snake eggs.

If you are in an ordinary household, those ash snake eggs that emit bright, fiery red light are still easy to find.But today's Hogwarts auditorium is already brightly lit, coupled with delicious food and interesting dramas, naturally no one will pay attention to those dark corners.

The professors reacted quickly. They pulled out their wands one by one and chanted a spell. The tip of the wand suddenly burst out with water jets, rushing towards the place where the flames rose.

There were no flames bursting out around where Tabor was sitting, but he still took out his wand and followed the example of the professors and cast several water spells on the nearest cluster of flames.

When the surrounding Slytherin first-year students saw this scene, they quickly avoided the flames and walked to Tabor's side.The senior students who reacted faster also began to use magic spells on the flames, trying to put out the flames.

"A clear spring is like water."

"A clear spring is like water."

"A clear spring is like water."

In the noisy and chaotic environment, Tabor noticed that Professor Kettleburn, who was closest to the Ash Snake, was covering his arm in pain.

When the Fire Ash Snake exploded just now, he received the strongest impact, and that area was also the place where the flames burned most intensely.

"Students, students, please pay attention. Now, senior students, please lead the junior students and slowly walk out of the auditorium. Deans first go to protect the students in their own colleges." Principal Dippet said in a loud voice Arranged.
