"I was merely imagining it," Grindelwald sighed, then smiled helplessly.
He suddenly had the feeling that he was like a child who, whenever something fun happened at school, would go home and share that joy with his parent.
And that parent, Dumbledore, had used this amusing matter as an excuse to lecture him.
Honestly, was that necessary?
Grindelwald looked at Dumbledore with an expression that suggested he wanted to hit someone.
Dumbledore, however, showed not the slightest self-awareness.
No, actually, he did show a little.
For example, Dumbledore had already put on his nightcap and was heading towards the bedroom.
"It's getting late, so I'll be going to sleep first... You should rest early too."
Grindelwald chuckled.
"I'll go on another patrol in a while."
"Then rest early afterwards."
...
The next day, Kasenhis swayed his way down from his bedroom and saw his empty office...
"Bloody hell? Did thieves break into my office?"
He instinctively roared, then quickly realised what had happened.
"Oh. Right. I did this myself. Scared me for a moment..."
He took a deep breath and used the powers of Creative Mode and End magic to move all the relocated machinery back to their original positions.
However, Kasenhis specifically moved one crystal cultivation module somewhere else.
As for its original spot, he enclosed it with glass. Inside was only a single grass block, and a little yellow flower growing on top of it.
Meanwhile, his Book of Minecraft lay quietly on his desk. Beside it was a freshly delivered timetable.
Kasenhis picked up the timetable and looked it over, instinctively feeling a little confused.
Logically speaking, his elective classes shouldn't have started this early, because the schedules for all five years of electives were supposed to be arranged based on the N.E.W.T. classes first. Only after the number of advanced students and their class times had been finalised would the other years' lessons be scheduled.
Fortunately, there was a small note from Professor McGonagall attached to the back of the timetable.
Kasenhis slumped weakly into his chair and read it for a while before finally sighing helplessly.
Professor McGonagall's meaning was very clear.
For some reason, this year, the students applying for Kasenhis' N.E.W.T. class were extremely decisive. Those who wanted to sign up had done so immediately, while those who didn't want to sign up would rather die than apply.
So...
Kasenhis was fortunate enough to gain an entire extra week of classes.
"Isn't this just screwing me over?"
Kasenhis held the little note in trembling hands. Only after a flash of pixelated flame burned the note to nothing, leaving not even ash behind, did he helplessly pick up the timetable.
First class: N.E.W.T. class...
"Sigh."
The pitiful Alchemy professor swayed his way downstairs towards the classroom.
As soon as he entered, he saw the young wizards already sitting inside, waiting.
However, looking at their sparkling eyes, Kasenhis suddenly realised that perhaps he could still coast through one lesson...
No, not just one.
He could coast through five whole lessons.
"Alright, everyone stand up and come with me outside the castle. Looking at those shining eyes of yours, even using my knees, I can guess what you want to do."
Kasenhis raised an eyebrow and directly used an Ender field to teleport everyone in the classroom to the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
The open space in front of the castle was where the students of Hogwarts often wandered. The Quidditch pitch was currently being used for training. Athletes, after all, would more or less occupy some class time, though at least in Kasenhis' lessons, none of them skipped class to train.
That left only the edge of the Forbidden Forest as a place spacious enough to use the Book of Minecraft, even if it was close to Hagrid's hut...
Fortunately, although Grawp's intelligence was not high, his memory was decent. By now, Grawp had already learned to avoid young wizards.
At that moment, Hagrid had just returned from fishing. He casually placed his fishing rod and empty bucket against the wall, then walked over towards Kasenhis.
"Seeing so many students in your advanced class makes me jealous," Hagrid said, casting a resentful look at Harry and the other three within the crowd. Although the four of them immediately hid among the students, Hagrid's height was right there. No matter how much they tried to hide, they really couldn't.
"Actually, I didn't want to start classes this early either. An extra week of lessons came out of nowhere. I think I finally understand compulsory subject professors."
After replying to Hagrid, Kasenhis turned back to the students.
"Does anyone know what I'm going to let you play with?"
A series of students immediately raised their hands. Almost every young wizard instantly seemed to grow taller by a notch.
Kasenhis looked around and casually patted one student on the shoulder.
"You then. Tell me, what am I going to let you play with?"
"Professor, it's that book, right?" the student said excitedly.
"That's right!"
Kasenhis nodded and casually snapped his fingers. The Book of Minecraft appeared in his hand. As for the principle behind it...
The Book of Minecraft could also produce Ender Pearls.
That was the principle.
As the Book of Minecraft appeared, half the class instantly became excited. Ron and Neville also rushed to the very front of the crowd at once, so thrilled they were almost ready to charge forward and put their hands all over the book in Kasenhis' hand.
Fortunately, Harry and Hermione managed to drag the two of them from the very front to the very back in time.
"Let go of me! We helped Professor Kasenhis organise his materials! We witnessed the birth of Professor Kasenhis' book! We want to see Professor Kasenhis!" Ron and Neville shouted while kicking their legs wildly.
"What is so magical about Professor Kasenhis' book that it's making the two of you act possessed?" Hermione frowned, somewhat displeased as she questioned the two restless boys.
Neville and Ron exchanged a glance, then decisively dragged Harry and Hermione to the very front of the crowd.
"You'll know very soon!" the two said, full of mystery.
