Anna received a special gift.
Catherine struggled to carry a painting and rushed into Anna's Defense Against Black Magic class just as it was about to end.
The handsome Professor Jacob Kowalski almost hit Catherine out of reflex because he was introducing the Crouching Bat's ability to sneak into a wizard's house and kill him.
"This rare yet dangerous creature was thought to be a type of insect by Cockroach scholars a long time ago. In the Cockroach World, it has names such as Suffocating Bug and Facehugger. From afar, this creature looks like a black cloak, perhaps only half an inch thick. If it has recently digested a new victim, it may be thicker...
"Some researchers in the Magic World believe that the Crouching Bat is caused by the mutation of the Dementors' magic magic. Some scholars also believe that it is a magical creature created by a Black Wizard out of boredom...
"Fortunately, after the sorcerer, Flaiwe Bobby, successfully escaped from the crouching bat and found the crouching bat cubs in his home, we finally have a new understanding of this mysterious creature …"
The crazy blonde snake, Sambady Avery, raised his hand. "Professor Kowalski!
How does the Crouching Bat kill? "
Some of the snakes' eyes lit up. Anna propped up her face and observed them with interest.
Oh!
The office murder has a new twist.
"Good question." Jacob paused for a moment and took down a model from the jungle-style shelf behind him. It looked like a piece of black cloth and felt light as a feather. "This piece of black cloth, how does it kill?"
Jacob floated the model of the Crouching Bat in the air. "The Crouching Bat likes to secretly follow the murdered wizard, sneak into his house and wait until he falls asleep."
"When a sorcerer is asleep, it will suffocate the sorcerer by sticking it on his face. No matter how powerful the sorcerer is, he will not be able to do anything about it. The only thing he can do is wait for death," Jacob added. "By the way, the Subduing Bat will eat the victim on the spot … or rather, absorb it. It will not leave any trace of itself or its victim."
"So cool," Belinda muttered softly. Anna raised her eyebrows but did not comment.
'Why don't you use the Crouching Bat to deal with Voldemort?'
Anna suddenly had such an idea.
"Oh!
I heard a little wizard raise an interesting question in his mind. "Jacob smiled." Can we use the crouching bats to deal with some difficult enemies? "
The students took notes and leaned forward, trying to listen more carefully.
"The answer is … no."
"Crouching bats live in tropical regions and are extremely hard to find." Jacob put the specimen back on the shelf. "When you really find one, there's a high chance that you're about to suffocate, so you won't be able to control them at all."
"The chance of encountering a crouching bat is very small," Jacob said as he pulled out his wand. "But if you are lucky enough to encounter one, what kind of spell should you cast when you have the chance to do something?
This is what the Defense Against Black Magic class teaches — "
Jacob shook his wand gently. "Expecto Patronum!"
He chanted a spell, and some silver-blue light shot out from the tip of his wand, but it was not dazzling. It was much less effective than the spell cast by Dumbledore in Azkaban.
A very small animal that looked like a rhinoceros appeared beside Jacob.
"This is the only known spell that can expel crouching bats and Dementors." Jacob waved his wand and the silver-blue strange creature ran happily in the room. "Guardian Spell."
"As you can see, my guardian is a poisonous horned beast."
Belinda tried to grab the nimble guardian, but her hand just went through the silver-blue creature.
"Everyone, no matter if they're a wizard, a dumb cannon, or a chicken, has their own Guardian Deity. The only difference is that only wizards have the ability to summon their Guardian Deity," Jacob added. "But not all wizards can summon their Guardian Deity," Jacob added.
"A wizard's magic, imagination for beautiful things, and memories of the happy past are all necessary factors to successfully cast the Guardian Spell," Jacob emphasized. "This spell is very complicated. The specific introduction will be left until you're in the fifth grade. If I'm still teaching you at that time, maybe I can catch a wild Dementor from the United States and teach you."
But that was impossible. No one could stay in the position of Defense Against Black Magic for that long.
"The Guardian Spell is not a compulsory part of the exam, but the part about crouching bats is very important. If you want to get a good score in the Defense Against Black Magic and the Protection of Magical Animals in the N.E.W.T. Ultimate Wizard Examination, then you must study seriously..."
When it came to studying, the classroom instantly fell silent. It was impossible for a little wizard to cast the Guardian Spell now because they were not happy.
"Oh!
I heard some of the little wizards are thinking that we're only in the first grade. The Ultimate Wizard Examination is something that only the sixth grade needs to think about. "Jacob looked around.
"I just want to say that opportunities are always given to those who are prepared. If you want to become an Auror or a specialist in the protection of magical animals in the future, you should start preparing now..."
Jacob stopped talking.
A black shadow flashed in front of him. The image of a crouching bat filled his head, and he subconsciously waved his wand, trying to control the guardian to hit the shadow down.
"Everyone, get down!"
The little snakes moved quickly. At this time, their movements were as smooth as a snake's.
Anna widened her eyes and saw Catherine dodge Jacob's guardian and throw a huge painting at them.
"Bam!" It hit Belinda's head, who was lying on the ground.
"Ouch!" Belinda cried out in pain. "The crouching bat hit my head!"
That was not a crouching bat at all.
Anna felt a little guilty and quickly took the painting that looked expensive. Why would someone think of giving a painting to someone else?
Could it be that Catherine stole it from somewhere?!
At the thought of this, Anna looked at Catherine in disbelief. 'How could you do this?!'
Catherine flapped her wings innocently. "I didn't do anything!"
A piece of paper floated down from Catherine's feathers.
Anna grabbed it. "Please return this painting to the Earl Nicholas something. A ghost, you usually call him Headless Nick. I hope you know him..."
The crumpled piece of paper, no, it was not a piece of paper. It was obviously a flyer that one would pick up on the street. On the back, there were slogans like 'Black Raven Wine Barrel Drink'.
The wild handwriting was familiar to Anna, but it was definitely not written by Ron, Harry, or any of her friends. She might have seen it once or twice.
"Phew..." Jacob came back to his senses and realized that it was just a false alarm. "It's okay, little wizards. It's just an owl delivering a letter..."
Belinda hugged her head and complained to Anna. "How rude!
How could you let an owl deliver such a heavy thing? "
"Someone sent it to me," Anna said as she looked at the painting. The woman looked resentful as she stared at the world with her eyes wide open. The corners of her mouth seemed to be slightly raised, as if she was anticipating something that was about to happen.
Belinda frowned and looked at the painting. "Although it's rude to say this, she looks really scary."
"You're not allowed to hang it in the dorm!" Belinda added.
"I don't have the chance." Anna moved the painting slightly away. "This seems to belong to Headless Nick."
Meanwhile, in the forest parking lot of Highgate Cemetery in London.
"This is the only way." Ron stroked the old owl standing on his arm. His eyes were filled with determination. "Errol, old man, believe in yourself!
You can do it! "
"Errol, we're with you!" Harry cheered him on. Ginny took out a big bag of nuts. "Errol!
Whether you win or not, this is yours! "
The old owl, Errol, shrank back.
Perhaps he was very confident.
