This is what Ravenclaw looks like..

Chapter 270 Goblin
"Just don't revise it, it's better not to do it before I graduate..."

Percy said jokingly, "If there is a question like the Tyler Armor Charm in the graduation exam, I am afraid I will be too shocked to complete the question properly."

"cut!"

Andrew gestured in response, then pushed the beetle aside—even if it was a poor imitation, this was not the one to use.

Although it’s hard to find this kind of bug in the Forbidden Forest, pre-orders are still easy to get, and the laboratory channel supports it—and, just to make a degraded version?
Let’s not talk about whether the dean would approve it or not. Even if he did, he wouldn’t have the nerve to do it - the dean spent so much effort analyzing and guiding you, and you come up with this?
He can't afford to lose that person...

"Let's not talk about that. The pond - is it running water?"

"Over there, there's running water, but my dad put some messed up magic in it, so there are no fish, only some frogs. In the summer," Percy shook his head, "it's very annoying..."

"Yeah, what about mosquitoes?"

"No, any little magic can destroy it."

Why haven't I learned it?
Wait, there aren’t mosquitoes in Hogwarts either…

"The school attached?"

"Yes, it's a spell that fourth graders can learn, but it doesn't work in very rare cases - after all, that's the Black Lake... and there are sometimes students who make trouble and think it's a prank."

Percy looked at the tadpoles in the pond. "Not only pranks, but also random curses. Some people even use potions... which can bring out mosquitoes."

???

What kind of Death Eater reserve is this!
Cultivating mosquitoes is simply being a dark wizard!

"After all, it's not difficult and it's easy to prevent..."

Percy spread his hands. "But it's really too early for us to talk about magic here in the morning..."

"There's no need to think about it."

Andrew spread his hands, "What's that over there?"

He saw a potato appear in the ground.

"Gnomes, with potato-like heads, Mom hates them, and Dad doesn't want to kill them."

Percy sighed, "Because goblins can talk, they are considered intelligent creatures. Although there is no obviously powerful tribe, they can't use magic, and they will even leave in disgrace if they are thrown out..."

"Can you talk?"

"It can speak human language, and it's not just mimicking, it's communicating."

"incredible…"

It was the first time Andrew had heard of it - he really couldn't imagine how such a potato-head could accomplish this.

This isn't some server joke, but the fact is that this thing's head is so small that, in theory, it will never be able to learn something as complex as human language.

“Is it aggressive?”

"They are very tall, they bully the weak and fear the strong... and they are also shameless. If you see them walk away in shame during the day, they will come back in a few days... Even this mother makes us have to drive them away from time to time."

Percy spread his hands, "Actually, it's these guys every time."

"Isn't there a wizard village nearby?"

"No, we don't even have much communication with the outside world," Percy shook his head. "The various protections on the wall directly block their prying eyes. They will ignore this area."

"So where did they live after they left? How did they avoid being discovered? Also, what did they eat? How were they discovered and even moved here?"

The day's train journey was already worth the money - there were no such creatures at Hogwarts, and they could not enter due to the strong defenses near the castle.

As for the Forbidden Forest.

Forehead…

All we can say is that the centaurs and spiders will find a new, less threatening food.

"Interesting idea, I guess there's a hidden secret base nearby, but the rest, Andrew" Percy said seriously, "I don't know."

It was a surprising experience to have the top student in the grade say that he didn't know.

But if you don’t know, you don’t know. “Dad didn’t feed them, and the garden at home was half abandoned. Mom occasionally planted vegetables, but it was basically not stolen.”

"The chickens at home have never been lost. Maybe their diet consists of small insects from underground. Maybe they are carnivorous. After all, they are not much bigger than mice..."

"But there is no doubt that it was not fed, and there was nothing exposed that violated the confidentiality law."

Percy began to analyze it and finally came up with a fairly feasible research method.

"Let's go ask Dad, he's sure to know!"

You are really reliable.

But there is no doubt that this is the best way to study.

"Ah, Percy's question?"

Mr. Weasley was visibly nervous—Andrew could see that.

There is no father who is unwilling to show his strength.

Whether in front of his son or daughter - but some villains choose force.

But Mr. Weasley is kind and knowledgeable.

It’s just that—the person asking the question made him feel a little uncomfortable.

Because Percy, like Charlie and Bill, matured too early, so he lost the opportunity to show his prowess long ago - the child was too talented, he couldn't be suppressed, and he couldn't be deceived...

"Goblin?"

"Ah, I can tell you about that."

Mr. Weasley glanced at the kitchen and motioned for Andrew and the others to follow him secretly to the garden - the house was really not suitable for telling such a story.

Mrs. Weasley didn't like it after all.

"That's right. Just as you guessed, they are a group. Although they are not strong enough, they are tough enough."

Mr. Weasley pointed to the garden. "They even have a few working spells."

"Ah? But I've never seen them use it?"

Percy's mouth dropped open.

"Because I'm just teasing you guys."

Mr. Weasley tilted his head. "Using magic to hurt people is another matter. At most, they can bite you once - this is their wisdom for survival."

"what?"

"It's more than that, Percy," Mr. Weasley nodded, "In fact, their magic even includes hiding themselves. I've learned a lot from that."

"But textbooks?"

"The textbooks don't record them, or even give them a grade?"

Mr. Weasley smiled. "Because they only take one bite and are less damaging to wizards than a Flobberworm?"

"Yes…"

Flobberworms destroy large amounts of vegetation, which is much more threatening than a bite. A broken leg is only a minor injury to the wizard.

"They can't even be used as potion ingredients. How smart! My car actually imitates their hidden magic, but it's just not enough and not stable enough."

"All in all, it's very interesting, very entertaining guy."

"They can even find suitable wizarding families living nearby, and can even judge attitudes... Amazing..."

...

'Bio-mimicry? One of the original sources of the spell?'

Andrew thought back to what the professor had said the first time—wait, was he getting too involved?
