Chapter 383: Poisonous
After October, when the weather cleared, Albert left Fred, George and Lee Jordan, who were immersed in homework, and went out for a walk alone with his own Tom.
Some people say that walking a cat is not a good choice, but Albert has slipped past the cat several times, and Tom will follow him closely when he goes out with him, and if he runs around, he will be summoned back by the flying charm.
After a few experiences of being recalled by the Flying Curse, Tom knew that he couldn't run around after him.
As a man and a cat pass through the fourth floor, they encounter Professor Quirrell.
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor's face was far less beautiful than when he first came to Hogwarts, perhaps because he was possessed by Voldemort, or because he was unable to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and was tortured by Voldemort.
"Good morning, sir. ”
"Good morning. ”
The Defense Against the Dark Arts professor responded dryly.
"That's the professor, I have a question about female ghosts. Albert didn't wait for Professor Quirrell to refuse, and quickly talked about the female ghost choir at the Halloween banquet in the first year.
Professor Quirrell opened his mouth, he really didn't want to meet Albert now, every time he met halfway, as long as he wasn't in a hurry, the other party would pull out that kind of strange-looking question, but you had to admit that it was a very good question.
"The female ghosts' voices are deadly because of the curse in their screams, and I think the choir should start from that, and for other reasons, I don't have a clue for the time being. Quirrell said slowly, "I'll tell you when I find the reason!"
With that, Professor Quirrell slipped away, fearing that Albert would come up with some strange question.
Looking at Professor Quirrell's back in the distance, Albert picked up Tom and scratched his chin, muttering, "Tom, you're really not good!"
Perhaps, Headmaster Dumbledore had the professors set up a mechanism to protect the Philosopher's Stone, or perhaps Quirrell himself was still waiting for the best time to avoid being discovered by the professors at the school when he took the Philosopher's Stone.
In short, Quirrell is still lurking, and the efficiency is really outrageous.
Of course, it can also be thought that the students who come out of Ravenclaw College are more cautious!
If Quirrell was a student of Gryffindor House, he would have been reckless a long time ago, so how could he have so much spare time to slowly inquire about the information and figure out what the mechanisms arranged by the professors were one by one.
Although the efficiency was very low, it was undeniable that Quirrell did a good job, and finally passed the mechanism arranged by the professors smoothly, but he didn't ask how to crack the mechanism arranged by Dumbledore.
Had it not been for Harry's coincidental appearance, Albert even suspected that Quirrell would never have been able to remove the Philosopher's Stone from the Magic Mirror.
Well, that's right, Albert felt that there was a possibility that Harry Potter would face Voldemort head-on, and it was very likely that it was the game set up by Headmaster Dumbledore.
Halfway through, Albert encountered a little twist and turn.
Tom and Lady Loris faced each other, one very fat and the other very thin, a stark contrast.
The two cats looked at each other as soon as they met, and bared their teeth to demonstrate, Albert thought that they would fight, and when they were about to take away their cats, they saw their own Tom raise his paw and wave at Mrs. Loris, and after being dodged by Mrs. Loris, Tom ran to Albert's feet, looking like I had a backer.
"Alright, stop making a fuss. ”
Seeing this scene, Albert wanted to laugh, he took out the small dried fish from his pocket, put it in front of Mrs. Loris, and left with his own Tom.
I don't know if it's because of the recent exercise, Tom's physical fitness has become much better than before, at least when he went downstairs, he didn't get tired and went straight to the ground.
On the way, there are still many girls who want to touch Tom, but they all refuse, and this guy is still complaining that Albert gave his little dried fish to other cats.
Albert led Tom out of the castle and towards Hagrid's cabin.
He didn't let Tom wander around in the grass, it had just rained yesterday, and the dirt on the ground was dirty, and if Tom made himself dirty, Albert would need to take the time to bathe him, bathing a cat is a physical task, even if it is a cat who bathes a lot.
Tom was trapped in mid-air by Albert's levitation spell, and he was used to the feeling of floating in mid-air, not as flustered as the first time, and kept paddling his feet off the ground, as if he was on a spacewalk.
Albert raised his hand to knock on Hagrid's wooden door, and in a moment there was a scratching sound from inside the door, and Fangya was scratching the door inside.
In a moment, the door opened, and Hagrid wrapped his apron and hummed a ditty, as if preparing lunch.
Tom was startled by Hagrid and meowed.
"Your cat?" Hagrid glanced at Tom, getting out of the way for Albert to enter.
"It's fat. ”
"yes, Tom is a bit fat, and I've been trying to figure out how to lose weight on him lately. Albert put Tom on the table, and Toothtooth leaned over curiously, put his paw on the table, and put his head out to Tom for a sharp sniff, but Tom was startled, and ran to Albert and squatted beside him.
"Hagrid, what are you doing?" Albert asked, looking at Hagrid, who was stirring the spoon.
"Mushroom soup, do you want to have it, the fresh mushrooms are delicious. Hagrid said excitedly.
"Fresh mushrooms?" Albert fed Yaya some dog food, then went over to Hagrid's side, looked at the mushroom soup in the pot, and looked around again, his eyes falling on a basket in the corner.
"Where did you get the mushrooms, did you buy them?" asked Albert casually, as he walked towards the basket.
"No, no, on rainy days, there are always a lot of delicious mushrooms in the Forbidden Forest, so I went into the forest in the morning and got some back. ”
"Can you eat it?"
"Of course you can eat it. Hagrid raised his hand and pointed to the strange-looking mushroom, which resembled the brains of animals, and said, "It grows when it rains, do you want to stay and taste my craft later?"
Albert raised an eyebrow, looking a bit like a deer flower fungus?
If it is a deer flower fungus, it must be cooked and eaten, and raw food can cause poisoning.
However, Albert quickly expressed doubts about Hagrid's ability to eat.
"Hagrid, I have to warn you that, according to common sense, most brightly colored mushrooms are highly poisonous. Albert saw a bright red mushroom with distinctive white spots on it, which looked like a cute red mushroom from a fairy tale or cartoon.
Well, toxic ...... Mushroom.
"You say this, I call it a drunken mushroom, this thing is good, it will feel a little drunk when eaten in small amounts, just like drinking too much wine. Hagrid said casually, apparently having already eaten.
Albert thought about it carefully, as if he had seen a similar account.
Well, a poisonous mushroom that can be used in small amounts to make potions, and if used directly, there is a good chance that it will cause hallucinations and make you insane.
Albert looked into the basket again, and felt that most of the mushrooms that Hagrid had brought back from the Forbidden Forest were poisonous, perhaps Hagrid himself was more resistant to toxicity, but if Albert had eaten a little poisonous mushroom soup, he might need to be carried sideways to the school hospital later.
"Hagrid, I have to warn you......" Albert was about to speak when he was interrupted by a knock on the door.
He walked over and opened the door, it was Harry and Ron.
The two looked at Albert in amazement.
"Harry, Ron, would you like to eat at my place at noon, try the mushroom soup I just made. Hagrid turned his head to look at the visitor and greeted with a smile.
"Mushroom soup?"
The two of them were attracted by the cat on the table and the dog lying on the table, and they were stunned for a moment when they heard Hagrid's words.
"Albert, you really don't have to have some, these mushrooms are really delicious. Hagrid scooped himself a large spoonful into a bowl, and the thick aroma of mushrooms filled the room.
"It smells so good. Ron said.
"Give me some. ”
Harry walked over and looked at the good-looking mushroom soup.
The corners of Albert's mouth twitched, if the famous Harry Potter ate poisonous mushrooms and died, it would really become a joke.
"What about you?"
Hagrid filled Harry with another bowl.
Before Harry could eat, a hand was placed on his shoulder, stopping him.
"Weasley, if you don't want to be poisoned, you'd better not touch that thing. Albert reminded.
Ron shuddered, and the wooden spoon in his hand almost fell to the ground.
"Don't talk nonsense, why am I okay after eating?" Hagrid was stunned, scooped a spoonful into his mouth, smashed it twice, and looked at Albert in confusion.
"Just because you're okay doesn't mean someone else is okay. Albert shook his head, "Of course, if you don't believe me, you can go and see the mushrooms Hagrid picked from the Forbidden Forest, which are eighty percent poisonous mushrooms." ”
Harry looked at Albert suspiciously, he felt that the other party should not talk nonsense, and there was no need for that.
"Really?"
Ron looked at Harry in confusion, then at Albert, and walked towards the basket. Of course, he couldn't tell which mushroom was poisonous.
"As long as it's a brightly colored mushroom, it's usually poisonous. Albert reminded.
Ron's expression was not pretty. ”
"Really?" Hagrid asked, suspiciously, "the mushrooms taste delicious, and he's already eaten half a bowl of them, and he's not in trouble." ”
"If you don't believe it, eat it. Albert shrugged his shoulders and said that he had said what he had to say, and if he didn't believe it, he couldn't help it.
