"I miscalculated, I didn't expect that he also has curse-breaking equipment!"
Rossi muttered something depressed, and turned his eyes to the black wand that Lucius had not picked up in time when he left.
A simple black wand with a silver snake head with an open mouth on the handle and emeralds inlaid in the eyes.
"Expensive Wizard's Wand: The core of the wand is made of dragon nerves. When using this wand, the magic attack power is +25%, quality is 115, levitation spell +2, flying spell +2, Oolong dispatch +2, and it is equipped with this wand. The wand needs an intelligence value of 100 or above. The wand will be recycled in 23 hours and 59 minutes."
Quality 115? The quality of Aberna's duel master's wand is only 95. Is it worthy of being said to be a wand used by wealthy people?
Groaning in his mind, Rossi threw the wand into the inventory.
Although it is only available for one day, it is unclear what else it can be used for.
"What are we going to do?" Grace, who had been silent, asked.
"First go to Hogsmeade and look for traces of Claire, and then go back to Hogwarts and find Percy to confirm Lucius's words."
…
The two returned to Hogsmeade and came to the Slow Cake Shop again, only to find Claire sitting bored in the shop, with a delicate box and a handbag beside her.
"Where have you two been?"
Seeing the two of them appear, Claire immediately ran forward with something in her hands and smiled, "I went to buy something, but when I came back you were gone."
"shopping?"
Glancing at what she was holding, Rosie felt speechless.
Do you go to the back of the house to buy something?
Don't you say hello to me when you're shopping?
"Then you won't even say hello to us."
She said helplessly, "It suddenly disappeared without a word, which made us very worried!"
"I'm sorry!" Claire lowered her head and apologized, "I wanted to give you a surprise."
surprise?
Rossi and Grace looked at each other and asked in confusion: "Surprise?"
"Um!"
Nodding her head, Claire raised her eyes and said, "Because I have always been taken care of by you, I want to buy you a gift this time."
With that said, she first handed the bag in her hand to Rosie, then held the delicate and sealed box in both hands and handed it to Grace.
He opened the handbag and took a look. Inside was a dark green women's slim-fitting suit with silver cuffs.
Fortunately it's not red.
The moment he saw it was a suit, Rossi couldn't help but feel lucky.
You can still wear a red dress, but you can only wear a red suit at the bottom of the box.
"Thank you, Claire."
He thanked you in a soft tone and asked casually, "Why did you think of giving me such a dress?"
Claire smiled "hehe": "Because you like green and you are a professor, you are suitable for wearing formal clothes."
As she finished speaking, she saw Grace preparing to open the sealed box, and she hurriedly stopped her:
"No, don't open it here, wait until you get back and look at it."
"So mysterious? I can't wait to see what's inside."
Rosie looked at Claire pretending to be suspicious, "Isn't it better than the gift you gave me?"
At this point, she continued: "Let's go back to school now!"
"Go back now? So early?" Claire glanced at the sun that had just passed overhead in confusion.
"I've visited this village many times before, but this is the first time I've seen your gift. Anyway, I can't hold back my curiosity."
Because Claire was just a student and didn't want her to be involved in dangerous things because of her, Rossi found a reason to return to the castle early.
When the three of them walked along the stone steps into the castle gate, it was exactly one o'clock in the afternoon.
According to Rossi's past observation experience, at this time of the day off, except for those students who go out, most of the other students are resting in the dormitory or common room, a small number of them are playing in the courtyard, and some, It's reading books in the library or practicing spells in the Charms classroom.
After crossing the courtyard and entering the entrance hall, they saw Harry carrying a broom walking down the marble stairs with Ron and Hermione.
Is Hermione reconciled with Ron? Hmm~ My hard work was not in vain.
Seeing this scene, Rosie suddenly felt a sense of relief in her heart.
"Good afternoon, Professor Rossi, Assistant Professor Grace, and Claire."
Harry and the three of them greeted at the same time.
"good afternoon!"
Rossi responded with a smile, Grace nodded, and Claire next to him looked at Harry and the three of them in a daze.
"Professor Rossi, I have finished my homework. Should I go back and get it now and give it to you?" Ron asked weakly.
"Just finish writing it, um... leave it to me during dinner tonight."
After smiling slightly, Rossi turned and asked, "Where are you going?"
"Let's go watch Harry's Quidditch practice."
Hermione took up the topic, "I wanted to give it a try by the way and see if there is any way to improve my ability to ride a broom."
Hearing this, Rosie nodded suddenly, looked at the Nimbus 2000 in Harry's hand, and made suggestions:
"Then don't try it with Harry's broom."
"Why?"
Hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but be startled, her brown eyes full of doubts, "Didn't I say that Nimbus 2000 is the best broom in the school right now?"
It seemed that she had originally planned to do that.
"Good, but not for beginners."
Rossi explained dumbfounded, "The speed of Nimbus 2000 is too fast for beginners to control. Hermione, not everyone has the talent to fly like Harry. For novices, the broomstick used in flying lessons is enough." soon!"
"Is that so..." Hearing what she said, the expression on Hermione's face immediately became tangled, "But the broom in the flying class felt a little unstable when I used it... Could it be that I really don't have flying talent?"
"You have to have confidence in yourself. My brothers said that when it comes to flying, you can master it by falling a few times!" Ron next to him took the broom from Harry, "Look!"
The next second, he actually got on the broom and flew up in the hall.
"Practice more. Isn't this quite simple?" As he said this, he held the broom handle with one hand and waved vigorously towards the people on the ground with the other hand.
"It's too dangerous! Come down quickly!" Rossi stopped immediately.
The moment her voice sounded, the broom under Ron seemed to lose control, and his speed instantly increased ten times.
"ah--"
Ron screamed, and immediately grasped the broomstick with both hands, and leaned on the out-of-control broom, banging around in the hall.
Just when Rossi pulled out his wand and was about to imprison him, his body was suddenly hit by the ceiling and bounced back. Then, riding a broom, he shot towards Grace like an arrow.
Without any time to think, Grace jumped up, grabbed him off the broom in an instant, and held him firmly in his arms.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The uncontrolled Nimbus 2000 hit the wall three times before falling to the ground.
clang! Snapped!
Grace hugged the box all the way, knocked it on the edge of the marble staircase, and then bounced to the ground, breaking into two pieces.
A bright red liquid like a red tide spurted out from the originally sealed box, and the strong smell of blood was immediately inhaled into everyone's nostrils.
blood?
While this thought flashed through Rosie's mind, Grace used her last sanity to throw Ron out of her arms.
"Hurry, run away...hisssssssssss!"
Grace's voice changed from human language to snake language, and his body turned into a huge gray-green snake in an instant.
