The Interested Weasley Twins, Little Frog's Big Adventure
"Hey, Lucien, is this a letter from your family?"
Harry was the one who asked the question. He looked up at Lucien and asked curiously.
Most of the other students received letters from home, but Harry never did.
On rare occasions, Hagrid would have an owl deliver a letter to him, inviting him to his cabin.
Lucien shook his head.
"No, Newt Scamander sent it to me."
Quiet--
Lucien immediately fell silent.
The only sounds were the flapping of bat wings and the burning of candles.
"Um, Lucien, you're still quite humorous."
Ron was the first to break the silence, putting down the mechanical frog and laughing heartily.
"Isn't Newt Scamander the world-famous expert on Magical Creatures? Lucien, you must be talking about the same name."
Hermione habitually started explaining things:
Newt Scamander, author of * Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them *, was awarded the rank of Second Class Wizard of the Order of Merlin in 1979...
Ron couldn't help but purse his lips; he still couldn't stand Hermione's "know-it-all" nature.
Even if Hermione doesn't mention it, everyone is already very familiar with Newt.
His book, * Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them *, is an introductory text for many young wizards, introducing them to many wondrous Magical Creatures.
It's like a magical version of Animal World.
Newt has a huge fan base and is extremely popular among young wizards.
Hearing them laughing and passing by, Lucien didn't pay any attention.
Sometimes, when you tell the truth and go straight to the point, people don't believe you.
Unable to bear listening to Hermione's nagging any longer, Ron chuckled.
"Lucien, if you could write to Newt, could you get me a signed copy of * Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them *? Um, if I get a 90 on my next monthly test..."
However, before Ron could finish speaking, Harry nudged him.
Actually, I haven't told anyone about the tutoring yet.
For example, Hermione still doesn't know.
The group was chatting.
Malfoy, accompanied by his two henchmen Crabbe and Goyle, passed by them.
Upon seeing Harry, Malfoy merely snorted coldly.
But when Malfoy looked at Lucien's back, his eyes suddenly turned icy cold.
After being rejected by Lucien's attempts to make friends, Malfoy became increasingly upset, harboring a deep resentment.
She's just from a Muggle family, yet she dares to refuse his kindness!
What also annoyed Malfoy was that he hadn't had a chance during this time, otherwise he would have definitely taught Lucien a lesson!
Malfoy angrily walked to the long table next door.
Noticing Malfoy passing by, Harry frowned and muttered to himself:
"Tch, what kind of look is that? It's so annoying."
"Malfoy is even more annoying than Dudley!"
Hearing Harry's whisper, Ron asked, puzzled:
"Malfoy's snobbishness is indeed annoying, but who is Dudley? Does our school even have such a person?"
Harry shook his head.
"No, Dudley is my aunt's son. Ha, he's a bully; his conscience is smaller than his stomach..."
However, before Harry could finish speaking, he saw two almost identical boys sneak up behind Ron.
"Little Ronnie, what are you playing with?"
"Why are you playing with that little frog? Are you planning to replace Scabbers with a toad?"
Startled by this sudden "friendly" greeting, Ron choked on his soup, his face turning red.
After he finally caught his breath...
Ron turned to look at the two "uninvited guests".
"Fred! George! Don't call me that!"
After saying that, Ron quickly turned to look at Lucien and the others.
Harry had buried his head in his arms, and Hermione had turned her head away as well.
Although he couldn't see their expressions, Ron could see their bodies trembling!
He was shaking with laughter!
As for Lucien, his expression was serious, but the corners of his mouth were barely taut.
Ronnie, my little darling, tsk tsk, the Weasley Twins are quite "doting" on their youngest brother, Ron.
Ron blushed even more at his friends' reactions.
He then looked at his twin brother, his eyes filled with grief and indignation.
"What exactly are you here for?"
The Weasley Twins exchanged a glance, then said in unison:
"Percy asked us to check on you, to see how your studies are going."
"After all, he's the Prefect, he's always so busy!"
Whether it was Fred or George, they picked up the mechanical frog on the table, grinned, and said:
"Not bad, at least it looks decent. The little toad is quite cute."
The other looked at Lucien and winked.
"Lucien, did Ron really make this little toad? By the way, how did you teach that kid Ron? Can you teach me?"
Upon hearing this, Hermione couldn't help but look at Lucien.
Does this mean Lucien taught them?
Ron was able to make this, well, frog, all thanks to Lucien's teaching?
Then, does that mean Ron's Transfiguration is also...?
Hermione looked at Harry again, and she suddenly realized that Harry was always with Ron, randomly appearing behind Lucien.
Could it be that Harry's potions also...?
Lucien was thinking about how to answer. Hmm, first, learn mechanical theory, engineering drawing, assignments, exams, and then Transfiguration...
However, Ron had already snatched the small machine from his brother's hand and said sullenly:
"That's not a toad, that's a frog!"
As he spoke, Ron, presumably intending to prove himself, pulled out his wand and pointed it at the little frog.
"Watch closely!"
After a few seconds, the little frog still didn't move.
This made Ron quite embarrassed, and he looked to Lucien for help.
Lucien didn't hesitate much and casually said:
"Just pat it."
Upon hearing this, Ron slapped the little frog on the back.
"Quack!"
The mechanical frog croaked, surprising even the Weasley Twins.
They had only come to see what Ron was up to after hearing Percy's casual conversation, but little did they expect that Ron would actually create a mechanical animal.
Although it was just a simple call.
The Weasley Twins looked at Ron with amazement, never expecting that their most ordinary-looking brother at home would actually learn alchemical machinery.
They all looked at Lucien at the same time, suddenly becoming very interested in him, finding this junior even more intriguing, as he could actually teach Ron.
"Croak~"
The sound of frogs croaking rang out again, but this time it was softer.
It's not that it's particularly small, but rather that its calls only sounded small because it had already hopped and run far away.
Lucien looked in the direction of the sound and saw that the mechanical frog had already jumped onto the long table next door.
"Thump--"
A splash, and the bright yellow little frog was already taking a bath in a bowl of creamy mushroom soup.
"Quack."
The little frog leaped again and landed on a neatly combed, light golden slick of hair, where it squatted down.
The mushrooms and milk broth flowed down its body and onto its beautiful hair.
Ron had already stood up and quickly ran to the man's side.
He suppressed a laugh, and said with a hint of apology:
"Ah, um, no, I'm sorry, Malfoy."
As he spoke, Ron reached out to take the mechanical frog down.
But Malfoy had already come to his senses, jumped up, and grabbed whatever was on his head.
"Weasley!"
