Hogwarts Slytherin

Chapter 153 Who do you think is average?

London Zoo.

The way these animals made Snape and Anthony feel: just average.

They were standing in the parrot area, where several parrots had just scolded a group of tourists and were now standing on imitation wooden shelves to pluck their feathers and rest.

"Actually, I was really looking forward to it before I came here, but I just felt average here." Snape wrinkled his nose.

"Yes, this place is average." Anthony was quite interested in these parrots at first, but maybe he was tired of scolding. After the last group of tourists left with satisfaction, several parrots suddenly entered sage mode.

No matter how much Anthony teased them, they were indifferent.

"The animals here are average and the environment is average. Muggles are really easy to make a fuss about. What's so new about them? Just like these birds, they are not as good as the owls of Hogwarts."

Reggie couldn't help but nodded after hearing this: "Well, it does look ordinary."

When they were commenting on this place, they forgot that there are several parrots that can fight with tourists.

"Who the hell are you calling ordinary? Do you know how hard it is for me to work every day? You guys, you guys, should learn to respect the labor and sweat of parrots." A green-feathered parrot suddenly exploded.

"You bunch of M**F**s, what are you talking about? You've come here and you still don't like this or that. You'd better get out of here! F*!"

The blue parrot is obviously much more sincere.

"What's average? Who's average?" The red parrot was responsible for the main output of the previous batch of tourists, and it was still a little hard to recover at this moment.

.......

After dragging his two friends out of the parrot area, Reggie typed on the map with road signs for a long time, and suddenly his eyes lit up: "Severus, Anthony, let's go see the pandas!"

"What? Cat? What's so interesting about that."

"Yeah, Reggie, thank you for your kindness, but I think this place is terrible.

How could two arrogant little wizards remain indifferent to the friendly greetings of several parrots?

Snape's nose was so angry that he was about to pull out the wand from his waist.

In the end, it was Reggie who had quick eyes and quick hands to stop him.

Although they have never heard of pandas, judging from the name, they are just a type of cat.

Most of the pets kept by the girls at Hogwarts were cats, and they had no interest in them at all.

After Ruiji’s introduction, I still didn’t want to go. Even if the panda came from the East, it was still a cat!

Reggie went to buy some drinks. He also missed these little things from the Muggle world. He explained directly to the two of them: "This is a magic potion from the Muggle world."

Snape's eyes lit up, but he still forced himself to suppress it. Only the urgent hands betrayed his restless heart.

The panda pavilion is built very high, and there are many people coming to see the pandas. When they arrived, the front was almost packed.

Although Snape and Anthony didn't understand, they were still shocked.

It's not too hot in the UK now, but the temperature may still be too high for pandas. All the pandas are hiding under the leaves. Even if many children bring telescopes, they still can't see anything.

"Wow!!! Look, Mommy, the panda is climbing the tree!!!" A little girl screamed excitedly. She was very lucky, and she was standing just in time to see the panda hiding under the leaves.

Reggie also craned his neck to look forward.

"Honey, I can't see anything." A young girl next to her said coquettishly to her boyfriend.

"Oh!!!"

"So you can see."

The girl let out an exclamation.

I saw the boy lifting the girl up and letting her ride on his neck. At this moment, the children nearby saw this scene and imitated him one after another.

Everyone present started laughing happily.

Although they didn't know what they were laughing at, the three of them suddenly felt that the weather was no longer so muggy.

It feels like taking a bite of ice cream.

Something beautiful.

******

With the remaining month and a half of summer vacation, they spent most of their time getting to know Muggles.

Of course, all this is based on the premise of completing Reggie's original plan-the research and development of wolfsbane potion and finding the Albanian hollow tree.

After the Wolfsbane potion was successfully developed, they couldn't wait to write a letter and sent it to Professor Slughorn.

Always as they knew it would be.

Slughorn is indeed too kind to his favorite students.

So even though he has various objectionable behaviors, many people will still keep in touch with him after graduation.

When Professor Slughorn received their letter, he devoted a whole line of Merlin to express his surprise.

He also said that he would help Snape publish his pharmacy papers and still provide him with all the help he needs. He has many friends in the Pharmacists Association.

With Snape's strength, the pharmacist exam was no problem.

They also need to come up with the finished product to prove the true efficacy of the wolfsbane potion.

As for where to find test subjects?

Don't worry, Professor Slughorn said he was more than happy to help them.

Reggie became much more relaxed than before. Sometimes he was obsessed with practicing magic spells, and sometimes he was in a daze at the blue seed.

Snape often seemed a little absent-minded.

Although he says he doesn't care, blood relationship is indeed a very mysterious and elusive existence.

Just as he shouldn't have loved Ms. Prince, he shouldn't have had any compassion for Tobias.

Yes, he pitied his father.

That drunkard.

That loser.

The abuser.

"My mother is dead, I should not have anything to do with her anymore." Snape would emphasize to himself every time his mind began to wander and he thought about Tobias unconsciously.

Convince yourself over and over again.

In 1974, he lost his mother and was still forcing himself to lose his father.

Reggie knew that Snape needed time to laugh about this matter. He just discussed the final issues related to the Wolfsbane potion with Snape as usual, making small jokes or talking about interesting things in the Muggle world from time to time.

After a holiday of in-depth understanding, Snape discovered that not all Muggles were the smelly homeless people in Spider End Alley, scantily clad women, and gangsters who might pull out blades at any time.

He felt like he had seen a new world.

......

In early August, Reggie was flipping through "The Lost Ancient Rune", which was given to him by Nick Flamel!

The reason was because of the unpleasant experience in the principal's office last time.

To be honest, although the two exchanged letters several times, it was not enough to give him such a valuable thing. For wizards, knowledge is extremely precious.

One of the trump cards of many pure-bloods that can always dominate ordinary wizards is that they collect various ancient books. In the magical world, most of the truly profound books cannot be copied.

Their existence itself is a kind of magic. The older and more profound the books, the less likely they are to be copied.

The attitude of these purebloods towards collecting books is: I don’t have to learn it, but you can’t.

They spend huge sums of gold and galleons just to hinder the development of ordinary people.

One monk has water to drink, two monks are fighting for water to drink, and three monks have no water to drink.

The magic world is so big. If wizards with powerful magic mushroomed like mushrooms after a rain, their status would never be as difficult to replace as it is now.

What's more, a large number of hemp wizards poured into the magic world to compete with them for resources.

If you tell them to improve, they will scoff at it.

Rather than using their own advantages to explore higher realms, they still like to show off and put on a show.

This group of worms in the magic world firmly controls most of the upper-level resources in the magic world.

What's more, after the decline of many purebloods, these remaining purebloods are keenly aware of the danger. They have become smarter and learned to stick together.

So, even if I can’t stand it, I can’t do it.

"After waiting, we can set up an institution - the Magic Library, which is open to all wizards." As a Chinese in his last life, Reggie believed in the saying that it is really good to be good to everyone.

Is Reggie Duke a good, selfless man?

No.

Anthony asked: "Do you want to be another Dumbledore?"

Reggie shook his head, not sure how he could have such an outrageous idea.

Dumbledore is a wizard with mixed reputations, but his achievements are undeniable. Both those who support him and those who oppose him will only question his character and will not attack his strength.

To become another Dumbledore, the important thing has never been to learn his way of doing things, but to have the strength as powerful as him.

"Perhaps you don't know that in the Muggle world, almost every city has a government - an institution similar to the Ministry of Magic in the wizarding world. It has built a library that contains a variety of books. The point is, it has a It is open to everyone because Muggles believe that knowledge is the ladder of human progress."

"Looking at the wizarding world, for example, in the UK, apart from Hogwarts, I haven't found any place similar to a library. Not to mention, like Muggles, it is open to all wizards."

Snape nodded, fully agreeing with this: "This is a good idea, but it will be very difficult to implement it."

Difficulties are meant to be raised and then solved.

No matter the venue or labor, these are not problems in the magic world.

What Snape said was "very difficult" was actually the problem of collecting books.

In addition to books that can be bought in bookstores, libraries also need more advanced magic books.

"My mother - left me a part of the book collection, and the rest can be purchased by Nubis through various channels." He paused, thinking of something, and what he said was somewhat intriguing.

"In the future, if nothing else happens, there may be a large collection of books, so you don't have to worry about this problem."

When Regis and others began to discuss the possibility of establishing a library, Bibi Dong brought them a letter.

When Professor Slughorn began to pull the web, the shockingly inefficient wizards began to spin at high speed.

His wolfsbane potion experiment had passed.

Next, as long as Snape passes the apothecary exam, he can even apply for the Order of Merlin with the help of the Potions Association.

......

Gringotts' loans require too many procedures, and many fifty people don't like to deal with goblins, which makes this business very deserted.

Because the loan business is very deserted, the goblins are even less interested in it, making loans even more difficult.

Such a vicious cycle.

Regis has never understood the fact that there is only one financial institution in the UK, Gringotts. Only competition can improve the level of practitioners. Monopoly is not advisable anywhere.

He even thought that if possible in the future, he could open another financial institution to connect Muggles and wizards.

He threw away the letter from Gringotts, and in the corner of the letter he could faintly read "I regret to inform you..."

Sure enough, finance knows no national boundaries.

Oh, no, there is no distinction between the Muggle world and the wizarding world - they are always only interested in lending money to rich people.

******

Black House.

Once, following a fierce quarrel, Sirius even paid the price of breaking several ribs, and was eventually sent to St. Mungo's by Kreacher.

The remaining people continued their previous conversation with laughter and banquet.

No one was depressed because there was no one here, or their conversation was interrupted.

Except for Regulus, who looked at the broken railing next to the stairs from time to time.

"Rell, don't look at it. Sirius has indeed gone too far this time - just because he foolishly entered Gryffindor, Lord Dark Lord..." Bellatrix said again Start complaining endlessly.

Walburga also looked ugly, she was too fanatical.

Every time, when those damn guys deliberately mention the future heir of the Black family in front of the Dark Lord...

Rebel!

What does he think he is!

Even without the Dark Lord... Black would never have sided with Dumbledore.

Always pure.

During the long Middle Ages, wizards were pressed hard by the Vatican and Muggles step by step until they were beaten by everyone in the street. Their own safety could not be guaranteed at all, and they had to hide their identities as wizards.

Fortunately, the religious reform weakened the rule of the Holy See, and the great geographical discoveries also diverted the attention of Muggles.

Some shrewd wizards took the opportunity to join the burgeoning overseas colonial activities.

They took the opportunity to plunder wealth and information, which stimulated the crazy growth of the British Empire's economy and added luster to their own family's treasury. The ancestors of Black and Malfoy were the leaders.

However, after the two Boer Wars at the end of the [-]th century, Queen Visolia bore fruit in her anxiety, the Empire on which the Sun Never Sets turned from prosperity to decline, and the "eternally pure" Black family also began to go down the road of Xiapu.

In fact, the war between Muggles was not the main reason for the decline of the Black family, because at this beginning, almost all pure-blood families that were at their peak at the time inevitably began to decline...

Arrogant, arrogant, and talkative, their descendants have no ability to make money, but their ability to squander has only increased.

In the end, the Black family won over the vain, arrogant and notorious head of the family - Phineas Nigellus Black.

He was the last straw for the Black family.
