Aini leaned over and grabbed the end of a stem. He cut the entire stem with a slight slide of his fingers, and then took off a section from it after sliding again.
Skillfully peeling the skin into the mouth, Aini narrowed his eyes happily, it was still the familiar taste from childhood, so sweet.
In Hagrid's confused eyes, Aini chopped off another piece and handed it to the big man, gesturing for him to follow suit.
"Kachi kachi~"
Tentatively, Hagrid put the white and tender stalk into his mouth. His eyes lit up and he started chewing.
"It tastes really good, but it's a bit hard to swallow..."
Halfway through the words, the big man saw Aini spit out the chewed residue and closed his mouth in embarrassment.
The two looked at each other for a while and laughed at the same time.
"I calculated the time. It seemed that it had been raining in Hogwarts during the few days when the corn was blooming, which may have affected the pollination of the plants. Of course, it may also be for other reasons. I will go back and find some books on corn cultivation for you."<
/p>
Ani held his chin and thought for a while. It seems that the climate, water and soil in the UK are indeed not very friendly to corn, but if you pay more attention, you won't lose your harvest. You can let Hagrid try again next year.
"After this thing grows into cobs, the stalks have no flavor, but if there are no fruits, all the nutrients are accumulated in the stalks, and they will become very sweet."
Aini learned some science from Hager, then put the white and tender stalk into his mouth and took a bite.
Hogwarts has not yet required subsidies for employees to grow their own food. Hagrid's farming is purely a hobby. The main reason why he was sad before was that he could not bear the hard work he expended.
And as long as his labor is valuable, it doesn't make much difference to Hagrid whether he eats corn kernels or chews sweet sticks.
What he wants to harvest most is never the various fruits, but the sharing and appreciation among friends.
After solving Hagrid's troubles and harvesting some sweet stalks, the two walked towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Aini missed Norbert and Lu Wei a little.
After Halloween, the most time-consuming and laborious parts of Aini's plans were all successfully completed, and he felt much lighter.
In the following period, after Lockhart regained control of the Disappearance Charm, he worked hard as a drainage worker. There was too much water in the long tunnel.
After Peter returned to the Gryffindor lounge, he was shocked to realize how strange his previous state was. He didn't plan to step out of the dormitory again until he figured out what happened.
The two villains are practicing in seclusion, and Hogwarts has ushered in a peaceful time. The years in the castle are quiet, but Hermione is extremely busy.
Without him, Aini took advantage of this quiet period to devote himself to editing a book. Not only has "Third Grade Transfiguration" been finalized, but he has also written nearly half of the textbook for the following year.
After the editor lady liked to withdraw 600 yuan, she had to work overtime for the second 600 yuan.
As for the joy of reading the teaching materials in advance, hehe, I can’t say it, I can’t say it, hee hee hee, hahahaha.
In short, as Christmas approaches, Lavender and others have become accustomed to Hermione's inexplicable laughter from time to time.
But at this moment, Filch couldn't help but laugh. He had never been so tired.
Ever since it was discovered that Tom and his own cat often got together, a certain administrator became panicked. Whenever Mrs. Norris went out to play, Filch would use their spiritual connection to sneak around.
Behind.
Loris didn't say anything about this, but every time she faced Tom, Argus would receive a vivid [Cat Contempt], and sometimes Tom's cat face would even appear in her dreams.
But in order to avoid some unspeakable things happening, Filch also tried his best. In recent days, he always felt that his dark circles were moving towards his cheekbones.
As for giving Tom a good beating so that he doesn't dare to play in the castle again...
Haha.
Draco scratched his hair in embarrassment, with a shy smile on his lips.
Growing up, he received countless praises because of his family background. The young master of the Malfoy family could describe the face behind false flattery without even opening his eyes.
For a long time, he has become more and more eager to gain recognition from others. It is not the usual false sentiment that comes from his family background, but sincere appreciation for his personal abilities.
To be honest, Draco's handsome appearance, knife-like facial lines, delicate and neat facial features, clean and translucent blue eyes, and platinum hair as smooth as the sun, can make the first impression.
Lots of bonus points.
His magic talent is also top-notch, and his mind is also very smart. As long as he stops showing off his superiority and blood without any brains, it will be hard not to be liked by the teacher.
After Ani's teachings, Draco was still arrogant, but he really let go of his so-called "pure-blood figure" and made several Muggle-born friends. Among the younger students at Hogwarts, especially the girls
Very popular.
As Ani's little fan, Draco is particularly dedicated to his work as a transfiguration assistant, so naturally he is often praised and praised in various ways.
So the boy worked harder and started a good positive cycle.
Aini closed the page full of notes and handed the handwritten version of "Third Grade Transfiguration, Volume 1" back to him, feeling a sense of accomplishment in his heart.
He has changed too many things in this life. In his original trajectory, he was a carefree and strong-willed boy, but now he spends most of his time studying. His extraordinary talent and more time investment have made him almost catch up with his transformation skills.
Hermione's progress.
It feels so good to make others become better because of your existence!
Win-win is the right way.
"Don't read Hermione's notes directly. Study it yourself first, think about it, then compare it with other people's notes, and finally read this detailed explanation with questions."
The boy's rapid progress was also due to Hermione. The little witch directly gave Draco a copy of her notebook full of notes, so that he could study more directly and clearly.
Although this saves time, it eliminates the process of trial and error and thinking. After all, the knowledge gained lacks some depth and the grasp is not reliable enough.
Therefore, Aini gave the students two more books, a brand new textbook and "Detailed Explanation of Transfiguration for Grade Three".
The second book was the product of Ani's inspiration when he heard Hermione complain about some information and extended knowledge that were not easy to find.
No wonder I always feel like something is missing. As a serious subject, "Transformation", how can it not have tutorial books and question books?
"Thank you, thank you."
After taking the book, Draco didn't know how to express his gratitude. During the summer vacation, he asked his father to prepare a generous gift, but the professor refused without hesitation.
"Don't put too much pressure on yourself, you still have a lot of time."
Ani patted the boy on the shoulder. He knew what the students were thinking, but it was really unnecessary. Their best reward for him had already flown over by himself.
After Draco left, Ani turned and looked at the armor on the wall.
"Argus, what's the matter?"
Filch took a step forward and stepped out of the shadow of the armor.
"Professor Scamander, I...I..."
The cracked corners of his mouth opened and closed. After hesitating for a while, the man still couldn't think of what to say.
Tell him directly not to let Tom harass Mrs. Norris again?
What's the reason? Besides, will this arouse the other party's curiosity and make Aini want to explore Loris's secret?
