When Harry, Ron, and Hermione arrived at Ethan's office, they happened to meet Snape, who was sharing the spoils with Ethan.
Early this morning, Ethan couldn't wait to go to Gringotts to exchange the check given by Mundungus for 8,000 gold Galleons.
Ethan returned to Hogwarts excitedly carrying a somewhat heavy bag containing 8,000 Galleons.
Ethan could have put Galleon in his Traceless Expansion bag, but he didn't. He wanted to enjoy the whole feeling of carrying a heavy money bag.
As a witcher, he was highly envious of the scene where the dwarf bank in Novigrad transported gold coins.
At this time, Ethan is always squatting on the street corner, watching the heavily armed dwarf warriors load and unload gold coins with hard crossbows.
Ethan, with his greedy eyes glowing green, always aroused the dwarves' extreme vigilance. They were strictly guarded for fear that Ethan would lose his mind and **** the car that transported the gold coins.
But this situation was completely different after Ethan came to this world. A mission to hunt giant spiders made him a lot of money.
After receiving the notice that Ethan came to his office to share the money, Snape arrived at Ethan's office as quickly as possible.
Even Snape made his throat dry and swallowed when he saw Ethan pour a massive bag of golden Galleons on the table into a small mountain of gold coins—two mouthfuls of saliva.
Happy times are always short-lived. While Snape and Ethan happily shared the spoils, someone knocked on the office door.
Through the witcher's keen hearing, Ethan had already heard that three little wizards were standing at the door.
"Come in," Ethan said.
Snape glared at Ethan angrily. He didn't want anyone to interfere with this pleasant process of dividing the spoils.
The displeasure on Snape's face became even more evident when he saw that Ron and Harry had entered the door.
When they entered the door, Ron, Harry, and Hermione were blinded by the galleons, which were piled up on the table.
The most shocking thing was Ron. Ron's mouth widened in surprise. He had never seen so many Galleons before. Time found Snape sitting beside him.
"Mr. Potter, Mr. Weasley, it was a surprise to see the two of you in the professor's office. I didn't see that you were such an educated person." Snape mocked Harry and Harry in a cold voice, as always.
Only then did the three little wizards discover Snape's existence. Harry and Ron were frightened by Snape and hurriedly lowered their heads, not daring to look directly at him.
According to Harry and Ron, they were "inhumanly abused" by Snape every night.
Snape always forces the two of them to deal with the most disgusting biological materials, causing Harry and Ron to stink every day and making it impossible for other students to approach.
In the end, Ron had to beg Percy to lend them the prefect's washroom every night to bathe, and the nasty problem is solved.
At that time, Harry and Ron were very envious of Hermione. Hermione's confinement, arranged by Professor Ethan, is compared with the extremely painful confinement of Ron and Harry.
Ethan didn't even care about Hermione; he just let Hermione stay in the office to do homework or study, and even Hermione could eat all kinds of snacks in Ethan's office.
Hermione tactfully used this period to consult questions about the signs constantly. With the accumulation of rich theoretical knowledge, Hermione could finally cast her first sign.
Snape still didn't intend to let poor Potter and Ron go, "I think if you two spent half as much on Potions as Professor Ethan did, your grades wouldn't be so bad. Is it right?"
Snape's mouth splattered with venom, making Ron and Harry ashamed.
Harry's appearance spoiled Snape's pleasant interest in counting gold coins. Snape took out a small bag as quickly as possible after counting out his share.
Snape shoved the piles of Galleons into the little bag.
After taking his share, Snape stood up, and after saying goodbye to Ethan, he was about to leave Ethan's office.
Seeing that Snape was about to leave, Harry and Ron finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Snape walked to the door and opened it as if he had thought of something, turned his head, and said to Harry and Ron,
"It seems that you still love studying very much, so there is no need to eat dinner in the future. Come directly to my office." After speaking, he turned his head, shook his robes, and left Ethan's office.
I am leaving Ron and Harry, wailing in despair.
Hermione looked at Harry and Ron sympathetically and was secretly glad Professor Ethan managed her confinement. She couldn't imagine what would happen if she fell into Snape's hands.
Finally, Hermione remembered her purpose for coming here and became cheerful again.
"Professor Ethan, I can successfully cast the sign." Hermione's voice was a little excited. Since Penelope first cast the seal, Hermione has been anxious and is now free from it.
"That's good! Hermione! Can you show it?" Ethan had long expected that Hermione would be able to cast a spell shortly.
Hermione's talent is good, and with a solid theoretical foundation, it is easy to cast a sign. Ethan still encouraged Hermione in time. After all, he has always seen Hermione's efforts.
"Okay." Hermione took a deep breath, slightly nervous, "Ron, come here." Hermione waved to Ron and made Ron stand opposite her.
"Who? Me? Stop joking!" Ron was startled and decisively refusing Hermione's request.
He could understand it now; no wonder Hermione kindly invited him and Harry to come to Professor Ethan's office. It turned out that she had decided to use him as a guinea pig from the beginning.
"Ron! Come here quickly!" Hermione put on a threatening look and stared at Ron fiercely. She didn't want to make a fool of herself in front of Professor Ethan.
Under Hermione's fierce eyes, Ron still moved to Hermione step by step.
Ron kept reminiscing about the tragic state of Neville's hair being burned to half of his hair, and his face was bitter. He felt that his hair could no longer be kept.
"Can I ask Professor Ethan to cast a Protego spell on me?" Ron prayed pitifully.
"Protego? What do you need Protego for?" Hermione looked at Ron with some doubts, but she quickly reacted.
"Oh my God! Ron! Should I use Igni on you? I was going to try the Axii seal!"
"Oh, that's all right." Ron quickly relaxed after knowing that his life was not in danger.
After everything was arranged, Hermione swallowed nervously. She stroked her left hand a few times, and a pale white rune appeared on her fingertips.
"Axii," Hermione said softly.
Ron's eyes lit up briefly and then quickly lost focus.
"Ron, how are you feeling?" Hermione asked nervously.
"I feel...I feel...great..." Ron said in a dream-like tone.
"Hey, how are you, Hermione!" Ron greeted Hermione as if he had just discovered Hermione.
"You look... uh, so pretty." Ron, who was under hypnosis, still complimented Hermione.
Hermione blushed, "Ah! It looks like the sign has succeeded!"
Hermione waved her hand hurriedly, releasing the sign's control over Ron.
