352 Back to school
"Well done, Hugo." After finishing his speech and announcing the start of the dinner, Hugo returned to the edge of the table. As soon as he sat down, his sister patted his shoulder and praised him.
"It seems that you have grown up now. At least you performed very well in the speech just now. At least I think everyone at the scene listened to your speech."
"Actually, my speech is not the main reason for everyone's excitement." Hugo shrugged. "I think what really makes everyone so excited is because we did it."
"You have to know that words are powerless compared to facts. No matter how good the speech is, it can only make everyone excited for a moment. Only facts can be deeply rooted in people's hearts."
"And the reason why everyone is so excited now is because the ship girls have done a really good job in the past, allowing everyone to see a bright future."
So in an exciting atmosphere, the whole banquet ended successfully. Early the next morning, Hugo and Hermione returned to London through the subdimensional connection, and then boarded the Hogwarts Express.
"What's wrong with you? You seem a little lack of energy." In the car, Hugo noticed that his sister seemed to be a little depressed, so he asked curiously.
"It's nothing, I just suddenly lost my energy." Hermione pushed the hair that fell in front of her ears behind her ears, then raised her head and said. “I always feel like everything in school seems extremely small compared to what I saw before.”
"You know, my biggest goal before was to become the Minister of Magic. But I feel that compared with the stars, the Ministry of Magic and even the entire wizarding world are really insignificant."
"Okay, I understand what you are thinking." Hugo immediately understood the reason why his sister seemed depressed now. This is the same reason that ignorance sometimes makes people appear happier.
"But there is no need for you to worry like this. You know, we have a long time now, so you don't have to worry too much about this kind of thing."
"You can target the Minister of Magic here first, and then consider other things. After all, we also need a large number of managers in our future plans, and the Minister of Magic is a very good transitional position."
"What you said, I think other wizards would be furious if they heard this." After hearing what Hugo said, Hermione burst into laughter.
Because after what Hugo said, she also realized at this time that her worries were completely unnecessary. For those ship girls who have a long life, it is also a good option to choose when faced with a choice.
After calming down, Hermione's spirit suddenly lifted up from the depression just now. Unlike ordinary ship girls, as a converted ship girl, she retains a more human side, so she always has some special ideas.
Some of these special thoughts will indeed bring new, positive thinking or new ideas to the ship girls, but others may bring some negative things.
Fortunately, Admiral Network can sense this type of information at any time and make timely judgments. prevent the situation from getting significantly worse.
Soon, everything in the school got on track. However, although it is already January, spring is obviously not coming so soon.
On the first day of class, the ground was still covered with thick snow, and there were fine drops of water condensing on the windows of the greenhouse. They could not see anything outside the window while they were taking herbal medicine class.
Taking an outdoor class in this weather is not a good idea, especially if you have to deal with snails. Fortunately, when they came to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid changed the teaching content.
This may be related to his recent success in love, so when everyone gathered to prepare for the start of class, they found that Hagrid did not bring those disgusting snails, but instead pulled a rune horse from the stable.
"Madame Maxime graciously allows me to introduce these big guys from the south of France to everyone." Hegra introduced everyone while holding the reins on the horse's bridle.
Everyone unabashedly expressed their love for this kind of horse, especially Quidditch enthusiasts. Because the history of magic once said that the flying runes on the earliest flying broomsticks came from the natural patterns on the wings of this magical creature.
. Yes, most of the flying power of these horses comes from the magical structures on their wings. Otherwise, with their not-so-large wings and tons of weight, they would definitely not be able to fly with their physical bodies alone.
Hagrid does have a way of dealing with magical creatures. When he was first led out of the stable, the horse shook his head because of the temperature outside. However, after Hagrid gave him a barrel, he immediately calmed down and started drinking. with whiskey in barrel.
The rune horse overall looks like a palomino horse with wings, and the muscles on its body are full of power. The light golden fur and silver mane give this horse an extra elegance in addition to its strength.
"Oh, it's so beautiful!" Lisa Dupin sighed softly, "I heard that this kind of horse only has wild populations in the central United States, and only Beauxbatons and the Ministry of Magic of several major countries can breed it. Most people are very... It’s hard to see them.”
"Miss Dupin, you are right." Hagrid nodded at this time and said. "This is mainly because the cost of raising this kind of horse is too expensive. On average, a horse may consume hundreds of galleons a month."
"The reason why so much money is spent is that on the one hand, apart from some precious herbs, the only food these horses can eat is hand-brewed high-grade whiskey, and on the other hand, their adaptability is relatively poor -"
Apparently, Hagrid's knowledge of magical beasts isn't limited to the ferocious monsters. His understanding of such noble creatures is not low at all.
But from Hagrid's tone, Hugo felt that he should have thought that such a strong horse would be better if it was equipped with claws and teeth, and liked to eat raw meat.
"I thought this kind of horse was a purely artificially bred creature." Hermione whispered while taking notes. “Because almost all the books only say that this kind of horse drinks high-end whiskey.
"This is actually part of the wizards' propaganda. "Hugo also whispered. "There was a time in history when wizards hunted this kind of animal on a large scale because their diet contained a large number of valuable herbs. "
"However, as the number of this animal decreased significantly, wizards realized the need to protect this magical animal. So there is this new propaganda to reduce wizards' disgust towards this magical creature."
"This is really -" After hearing Hugo's explanation, Hermione shook her head. Obviously, this kind of purely utilitarian protection always makes people have the urge to complain.
Obviously, this beautiful magical creature attracted everyone's attention more. When the bell rang, the students realized that the class time passed so quickly.
When leaving the playground, every student expressed satisfaction with the class. In particular, many girls hope that Hagrid can maintain his current state, because those slimy snails are really disgusting.
