Chapter 250: Magic From Hufflepuff

Of course, things are different now, and Rice did not find a suitable excuse to stagger the exam time with Daphne.

Last year, the potion was poisoned, and this year, the potion is poisoned again? This is too deliberate and will arouse the suspicion of the professors, so Rice chose to directly borrow Daphne's written test answers.

After all, a thousand years have passed, and his theoretical knowledge is a little outdated. It is not cost-effective to take time to memorize it, so he simply let the students do it for him - Rice is not the kind of guy who squats in the library to memorize the principles.

The borrowing process does not even require Daphne's cooperation. The reason for making a "bet" is mainly because Rice decided to inform Daphne in advance.

If she really doesn't want to, Rice naturally has other means.

Of course, it is really interesting to tease this little girl and see her reaction!

Daphne was in a dilemma: although she lost the bet, she still wanted Rice to take the exam alone. This was not because she was a model student who followed the school rules, but simply because she wanted to know how many points Rice could get in the final exam - if, just hypothetically, she could surpass Rice in grades...

That would be a small victory for her, right?

Just as she was thinking about how to cleverly "shirk" this gambling debt, a figure rushed to their table like the wind, and Daphne knew it was Astoria without even looking.

"Rice?! Great, you're back!" Astoria's excited voice rang in their ears.

Rice smiled and nodded, and kept silent about last night's experience.

After sighing for a while, when the excitement passed, Astoria noticed something.

"Sister, you didn't tell me! You just sit here and chat!" The girl was quite dissatisfied that Daphne didn't tell her the news of Rice's return as soon as possible.

"We didn't talk much, you don't need these few minutes!" Daphne glanced at Astoria unhappily.

"What are you talking about? Let the elder sister forget about the younger sister?" Astoria pulled open a chair beside the table and sat down in it, looking at the two people with burning eyes.

Les told her about the bet between him and Daphne, and Astoria's eyes flashed with a thoughtful light.

"I think--" Daphne organized her words and was about to have a good debate with Les, but Astoria spoke.

"Why don't you let me try? We can study the exam time and see if I can take a few exams." Astoria looked eager to try: she wanted to try the difficulty of the exams in the higher school year! And it would be a pleasure to compete with her sister on the same stage, isn't it?

"What about your exams?!" Daphne couldn't sit still, "There are also courses like the history of magic, which have nothing to do with the level of spells!"

"I can review these rote subjects in advance, anyway, there is still a month!" Astoria responded confidently: "As for my exams..."

She looked at Les and blinked.

"Rice, I must drink the Polyjuice Potion to take the exam for you, so why don't you drink the Polyjuice Potion containing my hair and take my final exam for me?"

Rice rubbed his chin. He felt that half of Astoria's proposal was feasible, but there was one point that needed to be corrected.

"No need for Polyjuice Potion. I can use Transfiguration to create a fake person to take the exam for you. I guarantee that no one will recognize it. But I do think you can take the second-year exam to test the waters."

After listening to Rice's words, Daphne and Astoria both had a flash of confusion in their eyes: Is this all right? !

Rice's mouth curled up slightly: "Daphne, you should still remember the fake body before, right?"

Daphne instantly remembered a memory that was not too long ago. That fake body really didn't look like a fake at all.

"That's a very advanced magic." Les smiled and told them the origin of the spell. It was a spell developed by Hufflepuff. She named it very plainly, "Magic of Creating Dolls".

And the source of this spell happened after an exhausting adventure...

"Rest!" After Godric walked into the cave, he lay down on the ground without caring about his image, almost falling asleep.

His three best friends were no exception. The ground bound them firmly to the ground like a magnet attracting iron blocks. It seemed that there was nothing happier than lying down.

But they still had a lot to do, such as making fire and cooking, cleaning the cave, and guarding. But in this situation, who has the energy to do these things?

"Rowena..."

"You can treat me as dead."

"Godric?"

"My scabbard seems to have fallen in the forest outside. Good brother, help me bring it back."

Salazar: ...

Just as he was about to force himself to get up and clean up the cave, Helga, who had been silent, took action.

"Let me do it." Compared with the other three friends, Helga was in a relatively good condition, with only some skin injuries and excessive physical exhaustion. She took out the magic wand from her bosom and pointed it at the corner. The stones at the corner of the cave gathered together and combined with a pile of soil to form a three-foot-tall little man.

After the little man was formed, he staggered out of the cave, and after a while he returned to the cave with a bundle of firewood and a dirty scabbard - at this time, his movements were already quite agile.

"Helga, you can actually cast such a spell?!" Salazar was stunned. The previous Helga couldn't even turn wood into a wood sculpture, but now he can cast such a magical magic?

"Well, I studied the transformation magic you taught me before for a while and got some new insights. I just used it today. Also, the soil here is very suitable... Maybe I can't do it in another place." Helga's face turned pale and she stopped talking. Instead, she used most of her energy to control the little clay man she created.

The little mud man was busy in the cave. He started a fire, then cleared the dirt in the cave, and finally even set up a pot to cook a pot of soup for everyone.

Salazar also provided some herbs, which could be added to the soup to help everyone heal their wounds.

He keenly noticed that the little mud man could actually cast magic! The dust, dust, cobwebs, and feces on the ground were all removed by magic.

"Incredible, Helga, how did you do it?" The surprised look on Salazar's face almost turned into reality.

"I wanted to do it, and I did it." Hufflepuff confided his heart.

Salazar: ...

"Really, I just wanted to do it very much, and combined with the previous flash of inspiration, it turned out." As if afraid that her friends would misunderstand her, Helga added another sentence.

Salazar became even more silent.
