The day before Valentine's Day, Hogwarts was filled with a restless youthful atmosphere, and the whole school became alive.

Among the group of little wizards, various tips for confession began to spread. From the way of confession and location - the most popular under mistletoe to what clothes to wear when confessing, they all sorted out a set of rhetoric.

A batch of inferior love potions suddenly appeared, and several professors locked up several students in a lockdown to stop the trend.

So the little wizards' focus was on the celebrity students of various academies. They began to discuss which male witch is more handsome and which witch is more beautiful...

Some of the most popular ones even have fixed admirers, such as Cedric Diggory of Hufflepuff, who was already very popular, and his talent showed in several duel classes quickly expanded his fame to other grades and colleges.

Harry has also been a little distressed recently. With the double bonus of the savior halo and the school's special contribution award, his fame has always remained high. Especially after the school showed the corpse of the Basilisk, everyone's fear of the Basilisk also turned into awe of Harry, Ron and Hermione.

But this awe is more obvious to Harry, because only he showed a strong fighting talent - his disarming curse even surpassed many senior students.

This allowed him to gain a group of admirers in the lower grades.

"Harry, there are a few girls over there who see you, can't you take care of me?" Hermione said irritably.

Harry looked at a group of first-grade girls in the corner of the library, feeling helpless. They were quite bold and stared at him straight. When he looked over, they hid their faces behind the book and made a "giggle" laugh.

Ginny was writing her homework not far away, and occasionally glanced at Harry while flipping through books.

Not long after, Harry's trouble was solved by himself, and the library administrator Mrs. Pins waved his wand to drive away all the noisy little girls.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

Ron was a little envious because everyone who loved to listen to his stories was boys, and the popularity of the story was gradually fading.

When the three walked out of the library, they began to discuss the new professor.

"I don't know how the new professor is, don't be like Lohart and Kilow again..." Ron said with lingering fear. These two left him with huge psychological shadows.

"I can learn something from duel class." Harry didn't care much. The course he was most satisfied with this year was duel class, but unfortunately he only had twice a month.

"Harry, duel class is different from the Black Magic Defense class. Black Magic Defense teaches you to resist danger, and combat is just a way to resist danger." Hermione said: "In fact, Snape's theory is very consistent with the requirements of the Black Magic Defense class."

Ron looked at her in shock, as if she had said something shocking.

"Oh ~ don't do this, I'm just an objective evaluation." Hermione said.

Harry didn't speak. What he opposed was not Snape's view on the duel, but him.

At this point, the two had a tacit understanding. He didn't like Snape, and Snape didn't like him either.

So he changed the topic and said, "Are there any rumors about the new professor? Don't talk about the dwarf..."

While they were talking, a dwarf passed by them with a gloomy face - after Dumbledore agreed to the Dwarf's Valentine's Day show, they brought the entire team, a total of twelve.

These short green-skinned men walked around the school and became a unique landscape in February this year.

Harry was very glad that they did not usually wear golden wings and carry harp.

The three of them watched the dwarf disappear into sight, and Hermione replied to his question just now: "The new professor is Damocles Belby, a potion master. He just received the Order of Sir Merlin for inventing the Wolf Poison."

"Master of Potions? Wolf Poison?" Harry asked in confusion.

"Merling's Order? What Lockhart's show-off?" Ron said disgusted.

The little witch first said to Harry: "Wolf Poison is a newly invented potion this year, which can keep the werewolf awake when the full moon transforms-" and then looked at Ron, "Professor Belby received a second-level medal, which is different from Lockhart's."

Harry nodded.

"How do you know so clearly?" Ron asked curiously.

"I asked Professor Hepp, he was good friends with the new professor, and he recommended the new professor to Dumbledore," said the little witch.

Ron stuttered: "Then why did he recommend his friends over? I mean...that curse?"

Hermione shook her head, she couldn't understand Professor Hepp's approach.

Privately, she actually thought Professor Heip was inadvertent. But she still refuted Ron: "The new professor is only a half-semester class. I think he may think it is not very dangerous." She said with no confidence.

Ron muttered, "That's dangerous, too."

Until evening, their questions were answered to some extent in the common room.

Ginny said unnaturally: "Luna's mother died unexpectedly because of a magical accident. She told me that if she wanted to study something new, she would inevitably encounter various dangers..."

“…unless you do nothing.”

Ancient Magical Text Office.

Felix sorted out his gains, and he used the weekend to divide up the basil monster materials with Snape.

Other professors were not very interested in this, except for Kettleborn and Hager who visited it several times.

Professor Keitelborne's attitude was the purest. He said with regret: "If you can raise it... I mean, be well prepared."

Felix is ​​deeply skeptical of this professor's exaggerated experience.

Hagrid's attitude was quite complicated. His big hand stroked the scales on the snake monster's body and said sadly: "I was fired because of it. Not long after my father passed away, he loved me so much... It was a dark day."

He wiped his tears with a dirty handkerchief and told Felix the sadness.

But soon, before Felix could come up with comfort, Hagrid adjusted himself. He looked at the fangs and hollow big eyes and said, "What a charming creature, right?"

...

What was placed in front of Felix was the green snake skin, the scales separated from its body, and more than a dozen poisonous fangs.

These are the results of treatment. Originally, the scales of the snake's skin are inalienable. Just like most snakes, the so-called scales are actually the product of the accumulation of the surface skin and keratin of the snake.

But under the influence of magic, everything is not a problem. He easily separates the scales and horny veins from the snake skin.

The basilisk has extremely strong magic resistance and is comparable to the fire dragon. Even if the spell hits thick scales, it may just cause a small pit.

He considered making a close-fitting soft armor, so that such a common spell would not work for him at all.

As for scales, Felix hasn't figured out how to deal with it yet - this thing is full of magic and laziness.
