"Ahji~"
"Ahjiji~ahjiji~"
Aini reluctantly put down the handout and tapped the little heads of the new pendants one by one.
A dozen Cornish elves with sawdust still stuck to their bodies hugged him tightly, with happiness written all over their small but delicate faces.
φ(&a;gt;&a;lt;*)「Ahjiahji~」
"Sorry, please remember the key points I mentioned before, and then start practicing when I come back."
After apologizing to the students, Aini repaired the broken wooden door and walked to the opposite classroom.
When he appeared in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom with his new look, there was a moment of silence, and then the little wizards burst into laughter uncontrollably.
It is indeed a "dangerous" magical creature!
Professor Scamander can barely move!
"Really, when I captured them, they resisted very fiercely. You can check out the several ways to capture Cornwall elves..."
Lockhart muttered in front of the podium as if he were autistic, but was soon drowned in the laughter of the children.
"Hahaha!"
The classroom is full of joy.
"Ahem~"
Aini coughed lightly, raised his right hand and pressed it down.
The cacophony of laughter suddenly stopped.
Seeing Ani easily controlling a situation that left him helpless, the flames of jealousy and unwillingness almost burned through his chest.
"Professor Lockhart, how many galleons did these elves cost?"
After the classroom fell silent, Aini asked seemingly casually.
"Seven Galleons and 11 Sickles, that guy Fletcher is really..."
Lockhart replied subconsciously, but then he reacted and quickly said, "Haha, just kidding. I personally caught these elves from England, and it took a lot of effort."
There was a burst of boos from across the podium.
The timing is perfect, but it's a pity
"Fortunately, this is the case, otherwise it would be a crime to sell magical animals privately or hire people to capture them."
Aine still had a gentle smile on her lips, but what she said made Lockhart break out in a cold sweat.
In the UK, wizards are allowed to capture magical creatures that are not on the Ministry of Magic's dangerous list and can use them to raise, breed, sell, etc.
However, there is a prerequisite, that is, relevant authorization from the Ministry of Magic must be obtained.
Otherwise, it is an illegal act, ranging from a fine or a trip to Azkaban for three months, to a serious trip from Azkaban to missing contact...
The rich and powerful among wizards would not allow anyone to touch their cake.
However, with the increasing number of Muggle-born wizards, the Ministry of Magic has been unable to keep the lid on.
There are only two roads in front of them, either to wait for a riot that is bound to come, or to let it go and allow the lower-level wizards, whose base is getting larger and larger, to take a piece of the pot.
Therefore, today, the Ministry of Magic's law enforcement is becoming more and more lax. It simply turns a blind eye to many things and ignores them if they are not directly on the muzzle.
For example, this kind of hunting of magical animals on behalf of others, usually the guys in the Executive Department are too lazy to take care of it, but if someone reports it...
Those fines were nothing to Lockhart, but this incident would definitely become a stain on him.
Ani crossed his chest with one arm, picked off the little guys who were eager to stick to him one by one, and placed them on his horizontal forearms, letting them rub against each other to form a row.
Gu Chang: "Professor Lockhart bought them from poachers, did he want to release them?"
Lockhart's eyes lit up when he heard this. Although he had made a habitual quibble just now, he also knew that with so many insiders present, it would be impossible to get away with it.
Then what Aini said is the only way out.
In one fell swoop, he changed from a culprit who hired people to poach to a virtuous man who rescued suffering creatures, Ness!
"Yes, that's what I think. Can you ask Professor Tuscamander for help? Today's classes are quite full and I really can't get away from it."
After adjusting his mentality, Lockhart showed his signature smile again, looked at the Smurfs sitting on Aini's arms, and made the optimal solution.
"No problem, I'm happy to do it for you."
Nodding to the little wizards, Aini returned to his classroom with the Cornish elf on his arm.
He planned to send the little ones to Sylvie after class, hoping that these lively elves could adapt to the environment of the Forbidden Forest.
The little wizards were already used to it when the professor led a group of blue elves to teach them.
There is always no shortage of accessories for Professor Scamander. Not to mention cats, phoenixes, bowtruckles, birds and snakes, the pets brought by children to school often hang around Aini, much to the detriment of their respective owners.
As for whose jealousy those little girls are eating, we need to analyze the specific situation...
Curling up in Aini's arms, the panic after being captured was washed away by the reassuring breath lingering around them. The fatigue of the past few days flooded into their hearts, and the elves fell asleep one by one.
Aini used magic power to comfort them and carefully put them into the nest in his pocket, so that these elves who had left their homes could sleep peacefully.
"Okay, everyone, put your textbooks away and let's do some practical exercises."
Aini shook his hands, and the buttons on the corners of the desk floated to the center and returned to their original appearance.
"ah!"
Seeing the beetle showing its original shape, Patil exclaimed and subconsciously picked up the textbook and took a picture...
Beetle, dead.
After coming to her senses, the girl's cheeks turned red and she stood up awkwardly.
"Ahem. It's okay. Sit down. Here, there are a lot of spares here."
Ani was a little embarrassed. He first turned the beetle into a button and then restored it. It was not to show off his level of transformation, but to strengthen the confidence of the little wizards——
After seeing this process with their own eyes, they subconsciously assume that beetles can be transformed.
This is very important for young Muggle wizards who are new to biological transformation, especially for young Muggle wizards who have just entered the wizarding world a little over a year ago.
Having received a long-term materialist education, they will instinctively doubt this.
It's not that they still don't believe in magic, it's just that they have a long-standing perception.
The human subconscious is the most elusive. Even sometimes, it is contrary to people's subjective consciousness.
After observing the transformation of the beetle at close range, this doubt will naturally disappear a lot.
Don't underestimate this psychological change. After all, magic is an extremely idealistic system, especially transformation.
If you are not firm and unified when you wave the magic wand, it will obviously be difficult to achieve the desired effect.
For example, Padma Patil's second "button" is trying to escape, and its six thin legs that are still alive after the transformation are pulling in a playful manner.
besides……
Ani frowned and looked at Malfoy's table. As Slytherin's assistant in transfiguration, the blond boy was the first to successfully transform the beetle.
However, the pair of small black eyes on the button convey a hint of lovelessness, and there is also a pair of glasses on it...
No matter how you look at it, they are all the same as Harry Potter.
