An afternoon slipped quietly away just like that.
Su Er had not only figured out what that monster was, but also learned from another book what Bowtruckles liked best. If he was going to thank one, he had to cater to its tastes.
Incidentally, the book Su Er had read was written by Mr. Scamander.
As the wizard who knew Bowtruckles best in the world, if Newt Scamander claimed second place, absolutely no one would claim first.
Doxy eggs were a Bowtruckle's favorite food... Hagrid should be able to get some, right?
That settled it. He would ask Hagrid to help buy some during their next Care of Magical Creatures lesson.
While he was thinking, Hermione had already packed her books and a thick stack of parchment into her shoulder bag, along with several books borrowed from the Library.
Su Er eyed Hermione's shoulder bag suspiciously. How much could an ordinary shoulder bag hold? That thick stack of homework alone would have filled it, so how could so many books fit too? Not to mention, Hermione definitely had other books in there.
Hermione noticed Su Er's gaze and guiltily reached over to cover it, shifting her body slightly.
All right, he had only suspected it before, but now it was confirmed. Hermione had definitely used magic on her shoulder bag in secret.
Well, the Undetectable Extension Charm certainly would not stump Hermione, known as Gryffindor's little genius.
Su Er did not expose her. After putting all the books back on the shelves, he walked out of the Library beside Hermione and headed to the Great Hall. Dinner should already be ready.
The entire Great Hall buzzed with conversation. After a day of building excitement, the approaching Hogsmeade weekend was an even hotter topic, with young witches and wizards discussing it
