A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 406 You Smell Like a Thunderbird

Lockhart was arguably the unluckiest professor.

He was a recipient of the Order of Merlin, a bestselling author, and had female fans all over England, making him a veritable witch killer among middle-aged and elderly women.

He even has fans in the United States, truly achieving both fame and fortune, a true winner in life.

But he was too greedy. He thought he could spend a year or two at Hogwarts, get some experience, make a quick buck, and then leave gracefully.

There's no way things are going to be that easy. Dumbledore has set a trap for him; do you think he'll leave unscathed?

So his greed backfired, his life was ruined by the diary, and now he's possessed by Tom, following Quirrell's path and going to America.

I wonder if they're still alive.

If he were still alive, he'd probably be possessed by Tang Bohu, kneeling on the ground, wand in hand, tapping a broken porcelain bowl, and singing:

I live on the outskirts of London.

They have a house and money.

Life is full of joy.

Who knew that there was Del,

He was ruthless and merciless.

Colluding with the principal, showing utter disregard for the law,

"They took my body and stole my money!"

Lockhart's miserable state did not prevent William from exploiting his remaining value.

For example, those best-selling books.

Everyone knows Lockhart is a fraud, so his books are worthless.

Each Hogwarts student had seven copies. William bought them back at the price of waste paper and then sold them to the centaurs at the price of genuine copies.

If even witches can be captured, how could these centaurs who have never seen the outside world be immune to temptation?

The girl in front of me, named Fire Kiss, looks silly and is clearly a naive young girl.

No, this isn't a lie... it's William letting her experience the harsh realities of society beforehand, so she'll learn her lesson.

Fire Kiss was also taken aback when he saw William promoting his books.

William not only sells alchemical items and Muggle products, but also surprisingly, he sells rare magic books.

"Did you become stronger because of these books?" Fire Kiss asked excitedly.

"Yeah, let me tell you, you don't learn much at Hogwarts. I'm all self-taught, thanks to the guidance of these books," William said, trying to fool me.

Fire Kiss's eyes sparkled as she asked, "What kinds of books are there?"

"Please take a look at this book. It explains how to deal with trolls. There is more than one troll tribe in the Forbidden Forest."

William pulled out the book "Walking with Trolls".

Firekiss shook his head: "The troll is too weak. It hit two targets at once, aiming for both eyes. I was eight hundred miles away... and I hit the bullseye every time."

Then he drew his heavy sword, swung it down, and *crack*, their heads were smashed to pieces.

Fire Kiss mimed swinging a sword, looking quite experienced.

"Then this one—'The Twilight Wolf of Wall Street'."

"There are wolf cubs deep in the Forbidden Forest. They were born to a werewolf couple. They're so cute, and we're friends."

"This book is called 'Teach You How to Get Rid of Pests Step by Step'."

"Ah! How did you know I'm best at dealing with bugs!" Fire Kiss shook its head happily.

"Once, a Billyville bug tried to bite me, but I grabbed its wing."

Huowen mimed catching an insect and putting it in his mouth, a satisfied expression on his face.

She recalled the taste: "It was delicious... crunchy, and every bite was bursting with juice..."

Hermione and Anne stared in shock at the centaur woman. This was incredibly fierce!

"What else?" Fire Kiss asked again. "What other powerful spellbooks are there!"

"...What do you want to deal with?" William rephrased.

"Hmm, that Thunderbird!"

"We don't have this one... let's try another one."

"To deal with the Chimera Beast."

"No……"

"Deal with the five-legged monster."

"without!"

"Deal with the Phoenix."

"Fine... I won't sell it anymore, you can go." William put away the book, feeling somewhat hurt in his pride.

If the other party were to ask again to deal with Dumbledore, William would be unable to help but become suspicious:

She had just finished reading the chapter in "Water Margin" where Lu Zhishen went to Zheng Tu to buy meat sauce, and she came here specifically to tease him.

The plan is cancelled!

It seems the little centaur girl isn't so easily fooled.

"Wait a minute, you can sell me this book, 'A Farewell Kiss with the Dementors.' The Dementors recently searched the Forbidden Forest, and I don't know how to deal with them."

Did the Dementors search the Forbidden Forest?

It seems they've intensified their efforts to capture Sirius, even starting to search the Forbidden Forest.

I wonder how Big Black and Lou Williams are doing.

Fire Kiss bought a book and a ring, and then she spent all her gold.

That's so expensive!

Centaurs don't use money, so Firekiss usually didn't feel anything, but now that she's suddenly trading with William, she realizes how poor she is.

She glanced at the huge pile of Gallon, all of which belonged to Ronan and his friends, but not a single one to her.

I'm so annoyed.

What simple and quick way could she earn a lot of Galleons overnight?

I wonder if this little wizard in front of me even knows that!

"By the way, could you sell me that wind chime? I've never seen the sea before." Fire Kiss hesitated for a moment, then said awkwardly, "But I'm out of money, I'd like to buy it on credit..."

"This?" Annie took down the wind chime and handed it to Huowen, saying generously, "It's yours!"

"You're so kind; it's rare to find a good person among wizards."

Firebeard glanced at William, then stepped forward and hugged Anne. His enormous chest almost suffocated Anne.

"Hey, you smell like a Thunderbird." Firekiss sniffed hard at Annie's neck.

"It might be my wand; the core is a thunderbird's tail feather," Anne hurriedly replied.

"Really?" Fire Kiss didn't seem to care much.

Her eyes darted around, glancing at the eight-eyed giant spider pulling the carriage, and she asked, "Where are you going? Can I come along?"

"No," William refused outright. "We're going to the territory of the Octopus Spider."

"Ah, the territory of the Octopods?" Firekiss exclaimed. "We centaurs never go near there. Didn't they attack Hogwarts a few months ago?"

"I understand. You're definitely going to wipe them out. Can I come along and help?"

William ignored the impetuous young centaur and got back into the carriage.

"Take me there." Fire Kiss stood in front of the carriage.

"Answer me one question, and if you answer correctly, I'll take you there." William stood on the carriage, looking down at Firekiss.

"you say!"

"Which star is the brightest tonight?" William asked with a smile.

He felt a little out of sorts when he didn't hear the centaur say, "Tonight's xx was oo".

"It's daytime now," Fire Kiss rolled her eyes.

"Then wait until tonight. Once you know the answer, come and tell me, and I'll take you to the territory of the eight-eyed giant spider."

William flicked the reins, spurring the horse sideways and bypassing her.

Fire Kiss was trying to sneak behind the carriage when she stepped on a trap.

Several strands of silk from the eight-eyed giant spider hung down, suspending her upside down from the tree.

Firebeam glanced out of the corner of her eye and saw the water droplet beast that she had accidentally broken off hanging to her side.

A line of words was carved on the tree trunk:

It's yours.

go home quickly!

Firebeard drew his short sword, slashed the spider silk fiercely, and fell from the tree.

She looked up, but the carriage was no longer in sight.

Fire Kiss wrapped the string of wind chimes around its fiery red tail, then stomped its hooves angrily.

Wind chimes,

Ding-dong

Ding Dong,

It made a crisp sound.
