267. Chocolate frog

Professor McGonagall was not surprised that McGoth wanted to know about the Animagus, although she had told them about the dangers and difficulties of the spell, but after all, she did not experience it firsthand, and most of the young wizards still thought that they could succeed, but in the end, most of them realized that they did not have the ability and perseverance and had to choose to give up.

Professor McGonagall had already explained the method of becoming an Animagus in class, and she had no intention of repeating it.

"First of all, the choice of mandrake, Professor Sprout should have already talked about this herb, this herb is male and female, although the medicinal properties are the same, but in the choice of Animagus, I tend to use it according to your gender."

As she spoke, she lifted her black-rimmed glasses,

"In addition, you have to be prepared, the leaves of the mandrake don't taste very good, you try it first."

McGoth took the oval leaf half the size of a palm, hesitated, and put it in his mouth.

When you put it in your mouth, it was no different from a normal leaf, and although it didn't taste very good, there was no need for Professor McGonagall to remind her otherwise. However, after a few seconds, a sudden bitterness burst out from his taste buds, and Magos's face wrinkled into a ball and subconsciously wanted to spit it out, and then he covered his mouth with his hand and held back.

Professor McGonagall watched his reaction with a blank expression.

"Don't think that you will get used to it after a long time, as its magic spreads in your mouth, you will find that it is just bitter or easy to accept, and all the tastes you hate will let you experience it within a month, and you can't spit it out yet, otherwise once it leaves your mouth, all your previous insistence will be nullified."

Magos spit out the mandrake and frowned, it seemed that in order to survive the first stage, he had to taste the things he hated eating one by one, if nothing else, at least he could hold back and not vomit.

"What about eating? Is there a problem with accidentally swallowing it? ”

Professor McGonagall furrowed.

"Eat it in your mouth, and it's better not to swallow it, or you'll regret why you didn't spit it out first."

"Secondly, you'd better predict what the weather will be in a month's time, and if there is no moon by then, I can't guess how you'll feel at that time."

"If you are really ready, after the first phase is completed, I recommend that you and a few friends or if you have not graduated, it is best to notify the professors in the school to accompany you, so that if there are any accidents, you can effectively avoid them."

"Professor, is there anything I need to pay attention to with that grimace moth's chrysalis?"

McGonagall shook her head,

"If you can, just try to find a better quality, and it's okay if it's almost. Spells must be memorized, and a misstep at any stage can lead to the failure of your final potion. ”

Professor McGonagall then explained the problems that might be encountered at each stage, and McGonagall quickly took out a pen and paper and quickly jotted it down.

"One last piece of advice, don't think you're a unique wizard, and try not to use magical creatures as your Animagus, that's dangerous."

"Thanks for the advice, I wouldn't do that."

With his notes in hand, McGoth decided to give it a try when he had time, and he was not sure about completing the first stage at the moment.

Time is busy and unconsciously goes to next week.

Hagrid's lesson in protecting magical creatures eventually caused dissatisfaction from the outside world, and Dumbledore couldn't continue to suppress it, so he had to talk to Hagrid again.

Harry received a letter from Hagrid asking them to come and accompany him.

Arriving at the cabin, Hagrid's mood was very low, and he couldn't understand why his carefully prepared lessons were hated by the students.

"Hagrid, it's not your fault." Harry comforted him against his will.

"Then why do they all hate my classes and let their parents protest to Dumbledore?" Hagrid's tone was extremely aggrieved.

"Maybe they're too timid." Ron thought for a moment and said.

"Hagrid, you should prepare some magical creatures that are not so dangerous." Hermione glared at Harry and Ron, who were blindly reassuring.

"But Buckbeak isn't dangerous at all."

"What about the water monster. It's very aggressive. ”

"It's wrapped in ropes, and you're not in danger."

"But after all, this is the first time we've seen such a creature, and we only know much from books, Hagrid, you can't think of us with your thoughts."

Hagrid bowed her head uncomfortably at Hermione's words.

"I see, you think I'm doing something wrong."

"Hagrid, I didn't mean that, I just... Suggestion, yes, suggestion. Hermione said hurriedly.

"Your words are the same as Dumbledore's." Hagrid was still depressed.

Harry and Ron tried to comfort him, and then Hagrid suddenly looked up at Ron.

"Are you also afraid of the magical creatures I introduced?"

Ron hesitated to deny it, but Hagrid still understood what he meant, as if he had lost his goal, and let them leave in a daze.

Magos felt a little uncomfortable looking at Hagrid's appearance, in fact, he thought Hagrid's teaching was still very useful, but he was too hasty and too taken for granted, after all, the little wizards had never really encountered danger, and it was understandable that the sudden powerful magical creatures made them turn into panic.

"You said that if we had known a lot about this amazing creature before learning about it, wouldn't we have those problems?"

Magos said as he dodged Hagrid's dispersal.

Hermione was driven to the door,

"But this is impossible, even if everyone memorizes the contents of the book, they will be shocked when they see the real thing for the first time."

Magos looked at Hagrid and asked,

"Is there a possibility that the class will be taught in the way of phantoms, as it is in the history of magic now."

Hagrid's eyes lit up when he heard this, and then dimmed again.

"They may still be afraid."

"Whether it's real or fake, it's impossible for them to ignore the psychological pressure they face for the first time."

"Then change it." McGoth's eyes are variable in vain.

"Let them reach out to the apparitions themselves."

Ron looked at him with a complicated expression,

"It's impossible, not to mention that there isn't that much time in school for us to go into apparitions, and I don't think there are many people who want to experience that kind of encounter."

McGoth smiled confidently.

"Of course not in general, but what if it was the other way?"

"In what way?" Harry asked curiously.

"Chocolate Frog."

"Chocolate Frog?" Ron Harry and Hermione looked puzzled. Hagrid had already been intrigued by Magos at this time, and hurriedly urged him to tell him what this had to do with the chocolate frog.
