Chapter 98: Indulgence
Chapter 98: Indulgence
After the two of them entered the castle, they were led by Coven, the 'habitual criminal'.
After arriving in the kitchen with ease, Dumbledore moved the 'Acromantula' that he killed for no reason.
At this time, Coven finally understood why Dumbledore killed an Acromantula when they were in the Spiders 'Lair. It turned out to be for this.
Next, the house-elves skillfully made a spider meal for the two people, and all kinds of service were very thoughtful.
Dumbledore watched the whole process and looked at all the services that Coven enjoyed. He couldn't help but laugh and cry.
Obviously, Coven had violated the school rules of 'prohibit night wandering' countless times.
Imitating Coven, Dumbledore also enjoyed some spider-leg meat. After eating, he followed Coven all the way into the room of requirements.
Dumbledore felt that the surprise he received from Coven was simply too much.
If not for following Coven, Dumbledore would have forgotten that there was such a secret room.
Because Dumbledore was present, Coven did not use 'Three Fighting Skills' to digest the nutrition of the spider leg meat. He chose to use magic to create a treadmill carpet and then ran on it.
Although it was a waste of the nutrition in his body, after all, he could not explain the matter of 'Three Fighting Skills'. He could only bear the pain and waste the constantly dissipating nutrients and energy in his body.
After a while, the spider leg meat in Dumbledore's stomach began to digest.
Dumbledore carefully felt it for a moment and asked Coven doubtfully, "Is it this feeling? Does it feel a little warm in your stomach?"
"Yes, sir." As Coven ran at a constant speed, he replied, "After I ate it for the first time, I felt very energetic. I had nowhere to vent my energy, so I used intense exercise to offset that feeling."
"Two days later, I found that my strength had increased."
Dumbledore nodded slightly when he heard that. He thought for a moment and said, "Maybe it's because you ate more... Speaking of which, I realized that you actually ate so much. Did Hogwarts fail to make you full during the three meals?"
"Most of it." Coven replied, a little embarrassed. "Until I found the kitchen..."
"Hehehehe..."
Dumbledore let out a soft laugh and did not continue to pursue Coven's plan. He took out his pocket watch and looked at the time. Dumbledore said, "Alright, that's all for today. You should go back to your dorm and sleep."
"Uh.. that..." As Coven ran, he turned to look at Dumbledore and said awkwardly again, "Almost every day... I am resting here..."
Dumbledore was stunned. After a moment of silence, he raised his voice slightly and said in surprise, "Every day?"
Coven smiled and nodded. "Unless there is something else, I will come here every day to practice my magic spell after curfew. Then, I will ask the 'Room of Requirement' to arrange a bedroom for me..."
"Merlin's beard..." Dumbledore sighed and subconsciously raised his hand to stroke his snow-white beard. He stared at Coven and did not know what to say.
In the end, it was because Coven's performance was too good that Dumbledore could only choose to turn a blind eye to it. He simply treated the situation of Coven constantly violating Hogwart's 'curfew 'as an exception to take care of geniuses.
Then, when Dumbledore left, he turned to Coven, who came out to see him off, and said, "I remember that Ministry of Magic rewarded you a thousand gold coins, Galleon, right?"
Coven did not know why Dumbledore asked this, but he still nodded in response.
Dumbledore continued, "If you are willing to pay, I might be able to find some meat of other magical creatures for you."
Coven was in high spirits and immediately looked pleasantly surprised.
Dumbledore found Coven's expression and shook his head helplessly. Then he said, "It can be considered a kind of research. Perhaps in the future, you can also produce a book called 'Magic Recipe'."
After Dumbledore finished this sentence in a joking tone, he smiled and winked at Coven. "But then you have to be careful. Be careful that Newt runs over to fight you, haha..."
Being amused by his own joke, Dumbledore laughed and turned away, and soon his figure disappeared.
Coven was stunned by Dumbledore's 'old boy' action. Until he could no longer hear the footsteps of the other party, he shook his head helplessly and returned to the practice room.
He canceled the 'Magic Flight Machine' and began to practice 'Three Fighting Skills'.
He recalled his experience today as he played the routine.
In conclusion, the final result was to develop in a good direction.
However, when he suddenly thought of the three months of confinement after that, Coven's expression became bitter again.
...
...
Time flowed like water, continuously flowing forward, never stopping.
After three months of miserable confinement, Coven continued to improve himself.
As he diligently practiced the new spells he obtained from the library, he also increased his learning of 'Ancient Magic Literature' and 'Transfiguration Institute'.
At the same time, because he felt the love and indulgence of the Headmaster and the professors, Coven increased his harassment of Professor Snape.
Almost every day, he had to go to Snape's office and be thick-skinned to ask the other person about Potion's learning.
Snape was uncomfortable, but even if he often deducted points for Coven in the office, he could not successfully block Coven's playful smile.
Therefore, Snape had no choice but to accept the reality. Coven came to him almost every day and asked him all kinds of relevant or unrelated questions.
In the end, Professor Snape was used to facing Coven with a cold face every day.
On the other hand, Dumbledore did as he said. He spent Coven's one thousand Galleon's bonus and found many different types of magical creature meat for Coven.
Finally, Coven found that the larger the creature, the higher the nutrition in its meat.
After reporting this situation to Dumbledore, Dumbledore terminated Coven's 'recipe' experiment. However, he still spent Coven's bonus and let the kitchen continue to give Coven a small stove.
....
In a flash, the end of term approached.
Late at night, in the laboratory provided by the demand room, Coven held a crucible in both hands and cheered loudly, "YES! I finally succeeded!"
After the bungee jumping celebration, Coven immediately held the crucible and ran out of the laboratory.
After leaving the laboratory, Coven finally came back to his senses after seeing the dark surroundings. It was still the middle of the night.
Helplessly, he could only suppress the excitement in his heart and turn around to return to the emergency room.
Early the next morning, Coven, who had not slept all night, carefully picked up the crucible again and quickly left the bedroom provided by the 'Room Of Requirement'.
After determining the time for breakfast, Coven rushed into the auditorium...
