"Look, they are very useful little treasure hunters!" Hagrid said happily, seemingly very satisfied with the performance of this Sniffer.
In his opinion, cute magical animals should open their mouths and show their fangs to bite others.
The fiercer their momentum, the sharper their teeth and claws, the more they could get Hagrid's approval.
As for the appearance of cute, docile personality, and so on, it was never the focus of Hagrid's attention.
"Will these Sniffers bite?" Corin said worriedly, "Should we hide a little further away?"
"Don't be silly, they are only interested in shiny valuable things." Elwyn replied and followed them forward.
"Well, we can play with them to our heart's content today. Do you see that?" Hagrid pointed to a large piece of newly turned land and gathered the crowd again. "I buried a few gold coins there, and I will give a prize to whoever picks out the most gold coins from the Sniffers. You take off all the things on your body that you can pay for, and then pick a Sniffer, get ready, and let them go. "
Elwyn walked over and picked a Sniffer. It put its long nose into Elwyn's ear and sniffed vigorously.
To tell the truth, this little thing was quite affectionate with people.
It was actually very easy to control a Sniffer to find gold coins.
As long as Elwyn stood still, his chosen Sniffer would drill in and out of the ground, as if it was in the water.
After a while, it hurried back to Elwyn, spat the gold coins into his hand, and licked his hand as if asking for credit.
While cute, Sniffers were indeed very practical, especially when it came to finding treasures. Even Elwyn couldn't help but want to raise one.
As for the others, they had already gathered around Hagrid and asked this question.
This was probably the most fun class they had ever had on the protection of magical creatures, and everyone was very satisfied with Sniffers.
"Your family won't agree to raise a Sniffer." Hagrid said with a smile. "Sniffers are animals that can't stay still. They will destroy houses to find valuable things. Alright, you guys hurry up and find the gold coins. I only buried a hundred. "
Elwyn didn't follow. He stayed where he was and chatted with Hagrid, hoping to cheer him up.
"Don't worry, Elwyn. I've thought it through!" Hagrid said as he glanced at Bubbottom's carriage. He seemed to be in pain. "That woman is not worthy of my sorrow. She doesn't even dare to admit her own identity."
"Mrs. Maxim just has too many concerns. After all, she is the principal of Boothbottom. She needs to consider other people's opinions." Elwyn thought for a moment and continued, "If possible, you should try to talk to her and give her a chance."
"Harry and Hermione told me the same thing this morning. You're both good kids!" Hagrid said as he forced a smile. His eyes were wet again. "I'm very happy to be friends with you guys. As for … Oh right, you don't have classes on Friday afternoon. You can come with Harry and the others to be my guests. I've prepared a new pie. You'll like it. "
"Alright, I'll come!" Elwyn doubted that he would like Hagrid's cooking.
But looking at Hagrid's current state, it was not suitable to continue to provoke him.
"Elwyn, aren't you going to find the gold coins? There are rewards." Hagrid continued, "In the morning class, Ron got the most. The Sniffer that he controlled almost dug out half of the gold coins."
"Yes, he has always been good at this kind of thing. I'll talk to you for a while." Elwyn said.
He knew that these were the dwarf's gold coins. They would disappear after a few hours.
Even if they weren't, Elwyn was not interested in digging gold coins with others. He didn't care about these gold coins.
Elwyn watched Sniffer put an dwarf's gold coin in his hand. This gold coin was no different from a real gold coin. Even the weight was exactly the same. He could only tell whether it was real or fake from the magic reaction on it.
He had to say that magic was really amazing. A magical creature like the dwarf actually had this ability!
Then, Elwyn thought of Ron's depressed and upset expression during lunch. He whispered about the gold coins from time to time. He even said to a potato, "I hate the taste of poverty."
Harry and Hermione didn't say anything at that time. Elwyn was also a little puzzled. Now he knew what was going on.
Ron must have learned about the disappearance of the dwarf's gold coins from Hagrid in the morning class on the protection of magical creatures. He remembered when he replaced the panoramic telescope that Harry gave him with the gold coins he picked up in the Quidditch World Cup.
He told Harry that the panoramic telescope was a Christmas gift from Harry.
But on Christmas Day, Harry gave Ron a very expensive Chad's Artillery hat.
Because he had no money, Ron gave everyone a big bag of dung eggs.
Of course, it couldn't be compared to the Chad's hat, but at least it was interesting.
At least, Harry didn't care at all. He didn't even notice that the gold coins that Ron returned to him had disappeared.
Or he noticed it, but he didn't care at all. There was no need to be so clear between friends.
But after years of contact, Elwyn knew that Ron cared a lot about this kind of thing.
Unlike Fred and George, who worked hard to earn money and had a positive attitude, Ron was always very negative in this aspect.
He valued money, power, and strength too much. This was not a good thing, and it was something that worried Elwyn.
As long as one had these weaknesses, it was easy to be tempted by Lord Voldemort.
But until now, Ron was able to wake up at the critical moment, which meant that he was not a bad person at heart.
Immediately, Elwyn thought of Peter. He was not a bad person at heart, and the people he knew and came into contact with were all very decent people. But his subsequent life experiences led him further and further down the wrong path …
In the Sirius incident last year, Ron proved that he was different from Peter.
But there was one thing that could not be ignored. He had never faced Lord Voldemort …
Connecting Ron and Peter, Elwyn suddenly felt that this was not a good sign.
He hurriedly shook his head, but Peter's appearance became clearer in front of him.
Elwyn couldn't help but think that Peter was still in the Azkaban Sorcerer Prison. Without his help, who would Lord Voldemort choose to donate a part of his body to complete the magic?!
Also, would it be a wrong choice to let Lord Voldemort recover his strength?!
Elwyn watched Durmstrong's ship move up and down in the lake. He knew that he was too nervous.
Facing the Lord Voldemort who was about to return, facing the most dangerous Dark Sorcerer in history, no one would be completely unconcerned.
