As Dumbledore said, this trophy belongs to everyone, not just Harry, the so-called 'hero'.
As for the complaints that the school refused to add points to these award-winning students, there were only a few words from Gryffindor.
The Lion Academy and the Badger Academy are basically tied for the bottom of the academy, but these lions are not as low-key as the Little Badgers, and naturally no one cares about them.
And speaking of the Eagle Academy... the students of the Eagle Academy don't care at all whether the three of Hahelu get extra points, anyway, they are already far ahead now.
Harry didn't make trouble at school this year, so he didn't deduct points from Ravenclaw in various ways like last year, so Hermione's point-grabbing firepower was revealed almost immediately.
Now that there is only half a school year left before the summer vacation, the gap between Eagle Academy and the other three schools will only become wider and wider, and there is no suspense about the Academy Cup.
"Finally, I want to announce two more things." After the awards were presented, Dumbledore continued, "The first thing is... Although many courses have been suspended for a long time, this year's exams will continue as usual. Please don't worry about it. What a fluke~"
When Lao Deng said this, he paused for a moment, looking at the complaints below, a trace of wickedness and cunning suddenly appeared on his old face.
"Also, given that Professor Lockhart is no longer able to continue teaching Defense Against the Dark Arts, the school has decided to make some adjustments to this course."
"First of all, for students in grades five to seven who need to prepare for large-scale exams, your courses will be taught by Professor Snape; Before joining, I hope that you will like this teaching mode."
Dumbledore roughly talked about the method of substituting for the black defense course, and then began to read the names of the students one by one, obviously with a well-thought-out plan.
Harry didn't expect that Lao Deng would actually use students to teach students, but the way of analogy, such that the fifth grade teaches the fourth grade, and the fourth grade teaches the third grade, is actually quite scientific.
After all, if there is only one grade difference, you can copy what you learned last year.
In addition, Harry found that some people were particularly honored to be called by name, such as Cedric, who was about to take on the third year class, straightened his back at this moment.
And the others, mainly the senior who is about to be in charge of the second-year class, he is wearing a bitter face at the moment.
After all, the second-year Granger siblings had the experience of double-killing black defense professors in the ring and in the secret room. The seniors who were selected probably didn't feel any honor at all, but a sense of fear.
"Finally, the classmate in charge of the first-year Defense Against the Dark Arts course is Mr. Harry Granger!"
"what?"
Hearing his name, Harry was stunned.
What about playing, Lao Deng actually asked himself to teach the first grade? !
Chapter 190 A Smart Girl's Interests Are Unique
"Tch, Lao Deng is definitely hiring child labor, and he actually ordered me to teach the first grade~"
In Harry's mobile suitcase, while arranging the workbench in the style of a slaughterhouse, someone kept accusing Mr. Principal of his black-hearted capitalist behavior.
Beside him, all kinds of items that need to be used later have been lined up at the same time.
Knives, buckets, iron basins, alcohol stoves, soup pots, Chinese prickly ash, star anise, cinnamon, dried peppers, and so on~
This was one of the few times Harry hadn't been by Hermione's side since Valentine's Day, and the reason was obvious - he had finally found time to dissect the basilisk's corpse.
"Do you hate giving us lessons?"
It's just that, although Hermione is not here, there is another girl here at this time, and she is also excitedly preparing to watch Harry's dissection process.
"It's just a little bit of complaint, Mr. Principal, I don't dislike teaching you guys." Worried that his casual complaints would cause Luna's misunderstanding, Harry hurriedly explained.
He does not reject teaching black defense courses at all, and even has an inexplicable expectation in his heart, thinking that this course has to be taught by himself, and other teachers are all scumbags.
Besides, if the student is Luna, it should be quite interesting~
"Well, I'm actually curious about what you'll teach." Luna's voice was still ethereal, "Of course I'm even more curious about what you're going to do with the corpse of the basilisk."
"Uh... I think I should be curious~" Harry asked speechlessly when taking the basilisk's body out of the interspatial ring, "You are obviously a girl, why are you so interested in anatomy? "
To be honest, sometimes Harry didn't know whether Luna was brave or just stupid, as if she wanted to try everything.
When Harry dealt with the Mandrake last time, Luna stayed in the disposal room, and she didn't fall behind at all during the whole process from the knife to the knife and the knife to the corpse...
He thought it was the pinnacle of Luna's courage, but this time the girl wanted to stay and watch Harry dismember the basilisk!
"I'm not interested in what you said...anatomy at all, but I just want to stay and take a look."
Unexpectedly, Luna shook her head at Harry, expressing that she actually has no love for bloody scenes.
"I'm not interested and I have to stay and watch... Please, what kind of logic are you doing~" Harry scratched his head inexplicably, feeling that he had no idea what Luna was thinking, "Anyway, if you watch If you don't go down, go and stay outside the suitcase for a while, Crookshanks and Mrs Norris are here."
After a brief instruction, Harry stopped paying attention to the girl who couldn't guess or understand. He turned the corpse of the basilisk over to the abdomen, and began to look for the most suitable position for the knife.
During this period, Harry couldn't help but sigh that his ring was indeed extremely magical.
Unlike ordinary items made by the Untraceable Stretching Curse, Harry's interspatial ring cannot be used to store living things, but things with a shelf life, such as food and corpses, will not deteriorate if placed in the ring.
The thousand-year-old basilisk was killed by Harry at the end of January, and now it has been more than [-] days, but it is still as fresh as when it just died, without any signs of decay.
puff~
There was a soft sound as the sharp weapon entered the body, and Harry easily cut open the basilisk's abdomen with the sharp blade, his hands were steady without even a slight tremor.
By the way, because the basilisk's corpse was too huge, the tool Harry used to dissect it was... the sword of Gryffindor.
Godric, one of the four founders, doesn't know how he would feel if he knew that his saber was actually used as a scalpel~
With a single stroke of the sword, Harry completely sliced open the basilisk's body, and the internal organs inside were also clearly displayed.
"Huh?" Luna behind her groaned curiously. She had barely prepared herself mentally, but the expected blood splatter did not appear.
"The ability of the water element is surprisingly useful in this respect~"
While taking out the basilisk's heart, liver, intestines, and other internal organs in sequence, Harry was also talking to himself in satisfaction.
Mastering the water element means that Harry can freely manipulate the flow of many kinds of liquids, and blood is of course no exception.
Under the control of Harry's magic power, the blood of the basilisk was obediently gathering into one stream at this moment, and flew into the bucket Harry had prepared in an orderly manner, with almost no drop being wasted.
This kind of convenience is undoubtedly the best support for Harry's major.
After the internal organs were emptied, Harry also completed the subsequent steps of dividing the flesh, removing the bones, and removing the skin. Although the body of the basilisk was huge, its overall structure was not complicated...at least it was much simpler than that of humans~
In Harry's opinion, the only two difficulties in the whole dissection process were the basilisk's venom glands and eyes.
The venom gland was relatively easier to do. Harry replaced it with a smaller scalpel, carefully separated the gland connected to the basilisk fangs, wrapped it properly with basilisk meat, and tied it tightly into a ball.
It was recorded in Scamander's book that the basilisk's venom is extremely dangerous and can corrode almost most utensils. Therefore, until Harry finds a container that can be properly contained, he can only temporarily use the basilisk's own flesh. to save.
As for the other difficulty, the only remaining eye of the basilisk, what Harry struggled with was whether it would be fatal or not.
If they still couldn't look directly at each other, Harry would have to close his eyes during the eye extraction process, which would probably damage the Basilisk's eyeballs.
"There should be no problem, you can look directly at each other." Suddenly, Luna's voice came from behind.
"Luna...you?"
Harry looked back, only to find that Luna was holding a small mirror in her hand, reflecting the basilisk's already slitted eyeballs.
She even used herself as a test quietly!
"Why did you do such a dangerous thing?" Harry frowned worriedly, "If the basilisk's eyes still have abilities..."
"That's just being petrified~" Luna didn't think it was dangerous at all, and said indifferently, "Anyway, you can make a mandrake resurrection potion, even if it is petrified, you can recover quickly, it doesn't matter. "
"This..." Harry didn't know how to refute for a moment.
"I think that since I'm here, I should do something. I can't just keep looking at it, and you should really want to take out that eye completely." Luna didn't seem to understand why Harry was in a hurry, and tilted his head He asked puzzledly, "So...is there anything wrong with me doing this?"
"I'm not saying you have a problem! I'm just saying..." Harry frowned again and again, and finally he could only sigh helplessly, "Forget it, anyway, the next time you want to make your own decisions, you'd better do it in advance. tell me..."
It's just that when he said this, Harry hesitated again.
It is true that there are some inexplicable connections between himself and Luna, but they have no special relationship now, so why does he let him report everything to him?
"Okay." But to his surprise, Luna did not refuse.
After staring at Harry for a moment, she nodded seriously in response.
"If that's what you want, you can~"
Chapter 190 The Second Snake Banquet Is Not For Humans
"Phew... it's finally done~"
After dismantling the whole basilisk into parts and sealing a good eye of the basilisk in formalin, Harry stretched comfortably.
But after that, the blond girl couldn't understand Harry's operation.
I saw that he first lit a big fire in the open space, and then put the soup pot enlarged by the expansion spell on the fire, and then he heated the pot and put various unnamed seasonings in it. The internal organs of the basilisk, more than a dozen bones with meat, and more than half of the meat were all thrown into the pot!
"What are you doing...?"
Looking at Harry who was stirring vigorously with a special shovel-shaped 'stirrer', Luna really suspected for a moment that he was cooking.
But he shouldn't, maybe he's just 'boiling' some kind of special potion, you see, he has already mixed snake blood and white wine into the pot...
Come on, this is cooking, right?
Until now, Luna was completely convinced that Harry actually stewed the basilisk!
"Cooking~" Harry responded naturally, "It's a good thing we don't have to cook all the cooked ones, otherwise the basilisk is so big, it really wouldn't be able to cook in this pot."
"Uh... are you sure this thing is edible?" Luna covered her mouth with a tangled expression.
From her point of view, the color of the pot of things that Harry made is so complicated that it is comparable to the Black Lake~
"You misunderstood, this pot is not for people to eat~" Harry explained with a smile, "The stewed snake pot is Norberta's extra meal, it prefers cooked meat, and the leftover flesh and blood will be shared with other Fantastic Beasts."
There are many carnivorous guys in Harry's suitcase, such as the poison leopard that has never been shown because it is too dangerous, or the horse-shaped water monster that has been released into the black lake, all of which are meatless Displeased Lord.
However, limited by the digestive system and eating habits, their recipes are all raw food.
Among all the magical animals that Harry kept, Norbeta was probably the exception.
Due to the high temperature in the body, even if Norberta eats raw food, it will basically be boiled in the body in the end, so it only ate dead chickens and dead mice for a period of time when it was a child, and then directly replaced them with mature ones. prepared food.
In particular, Harry would have a Chinese meal every now and then, which made the stomach of Norbeta, a loli and fire dragon... a bit closer to Harry's shape.
And this is also one of Harry's domestication strategies. As long as a creature like a female charmander eats well enough, its temperament will always be relatively docile, which can be regarded as a proper way to eat salt.
"Everyone, dinner is ready!"
After stewing for about 10 minutes, when Harry felt that the aroma wafting from the pot had begun to move his index finger, he used a loud curse to notify the residents who were waiting for the meal.
"Wait a minute, don't be afraid. Although some guys look scary, they are actually safe..."
Tsk tsk, even Harry himself can't believe it~
"Okay." But judging from Luna's serious expression, she obviously believed it.
"Roar!"
A dragon's roar first came from the distant sky, and after Nobeta spread out her huge dragon wings and circled in the air, she landed excitedly next to the soup pot, obviously impatient to be stimulated by the fragrance.
After getting Harry's approval, the guy even plunged his head into the pot in excitement.
"I said, can you slow down~" Harry couldn't help complaining helplessly when he saw this, "This pot is all yours, and no one will grab it from you."
"Woo~" Nobeta flicked her tail nonchalantly, and the action of feasting didn't slow down at all.
It has been artificially bred for more than a year, and it has become very skinny with Harry~
Zouwu and Unicorn are obviously much calmer than the anxious Lolita Fire Dragon. After all, one of them only eats natural dead bodies, and the other is simply a vegetarian. The whole snake feast is completely unattractive to them.
After a while, creatures such as the poison horned beast, the horned camel, the rune snake and the venomous leopard also gathered in turn, and began to enjoy their pile of delicacies under Harry's distribution.
During this period, the bird and snake even brought the acromantula egg from the Forbidden Forest. Seeing the denser and denser lines on the outside of the egg, Harry thought for a while and put it into a holding snake. In the big bucket of blame blood.
"Sure enough, you have raised other creatures, which is really amazing!"
And these dangerous creatures did not scare Luna at all, on the contrary, they stimulated her eyes to shine.
"I think your reaction is really amazing~" Harry covered his face dumbfounded.
Even a notorious dark wizard would be terrified to see these creatures, but Luna's face was full of excitement.
This girl's hobby is novelty hunting, most people probably can't understand it at all.
But that's good, at least Harry doesn't have to worry about how to coax her if it makes her cry.
"I'm going to deliver some meat to Mrs. Norris and Crookshanks. You can help me watch them here for a while." Seeing that Luna was completely ignorant of the dangerous creatures in the suitcase, Harry felt more at ease letting her stay in the suitcase. here.
"Yeah, you go." Luna waved her hands with her back to Harry, but her eyes were always wandering around, from the horned llama to the rune snake. It was a joy to watch.
