329, fried tail snail
After a brief lunch, in the afternoon, the Hufflepuff badgers were still with the Ravenclaw eagles, and they left the castle together, down the gently downhill lawn, to Hagrid's cabin at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where they were going to take a lesson in the protection of magical creatures. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info
Hagrid stood outside the door of the cabin, looking a little tired, holding the collar of his great hound tooth in one hand and a large bag in the other.
On the ground at his feet, there were several open wooden boxes, from which a strange clatter came from, and from time to time there was a faint explosion.
The students' faces were a little ugly, and they knew that the box contained a disgusting creature with fried tail snails, thanks to the gossip spread by the Gryffindor students, led by Ron.
"Good afternoon, everyone. Hagrid cheered up and greeted everyone with a smile on his face, of course it was not easy to recognize his smile, Hagrid's beard was a little lush.
"That's what we're doing this semester – taking care of the snails. ”
As he spoke, Hagrid opened the box, revealing a pile of strange creatures stacked on top of each other. The whole body is gray and white, with eight legs, a bit like a lobster, but there is no head in sight.
There was a flurry of discussion from the students, and Field heard Susan Bones retching not far away.
However, Field didn't feel anything special, and although the shape of the fried tail snail was a bit 'curious', it was far from being as disgusting as Ron said. Of course, after Field smelled the stinky salted fish, he felt that there was some truth in Ron's words.
The badgers and eaglets had their first magical creature conservation lesson of the year was certainly unpleasant. From time to time, some sparks will shoot out from the tail of these fried tail snails that smell of salted fish, and then with a soft snap, the fried tail snails will advance a few inches. This made the work of the students extremely difficult, as their job was to feed the snails.
"Oh, I think that's stupid. We're going to look for its mouth, and I don't even see its head. Lisa Dupin, who had never had much business in Ravenclaw, threw the slippery frog liver on the snail and began to complain loudly.
"Bang-" An explosion rang out at the same time, and Lisa1 Dupin covered her face with a scream.
"What's wrong, what's wrong?" Hagrid ran over in a panic.
"It's alright, Professor Hagrid. "Field was not far away when the explosion was launched, so I could see what was going on at a glance.
When Lisa dropped the frog's liver, the tail of the fried snail happened to explode, and the liver was blown up and splashed everywhere, and Lisa was unfortunately confused by the splashed liver.
"Professor, I suggest that the next time you go to class, you should remind everyone to bring dragon skin gloves. Field had to remind Hagrid.
"Oh well, I think so, remember to bring dragon skin gloves next time, these little things are naughty. Hagrid was a little absent-minded.
"Naughty little thing?" said Hannah Abbott's voice with a long and strange expression.
The bell finally rang from the castle, and the students ran towards it, hurting Hagrid.
"Field, did you think I did something wrong?" Hagrid still thought everyone would like these 'fleshy' little things as much as he did.
Field and Rolf weren't leaving, they were still watching the snails, and to be honest, they were really interested in the little things.
Field didn't know how to answer Hagrid's question, and he didn't want to answer it, because he and Rolf now had a stomach full of questions to ask Hagrid.
"Hagrid, let's be honest, where did you get these 'fried tail snails', they're magical creatures you made with magic, right?"
"How is it possible, I just found some different eggs in the eggs under the fire crab. As a result, these fried tail snails are hatched. Hagrid's tone showed that he wasn't lying.
"Fire crab, this is a good thing, do you have a breeding license?" Rolf asked with interest, and Field looked at him as well.
The fire crab is a rare and magical creature that is native to Fiji, an island nation in the South Pacific Ocean. The fire crab looks like a sea turtle in appearance, and its back shell is studded with jewels. Muggles used to discover them from time to time and make a fortune doing so. In the last century, fire crabs have become protected magical creatures, as they are not only interested in Muggles, but wizards also hunt them. The reason is that the crucible made from the shell of the fire crab is the best quality of all the crucibles. Wizards have created a sanctuary on a coast in their native Fiji, and their population has now recovered, which is why fire crabs can now be exported as pets, but only with a special permit.
"The fire crab was left behind by Professor Kettleburn, and he should have a permit. Hagrid's words were very unreliable, he knew that the two teenagers would not believe him, because his predecessor was even more unreliable than him.
"When fire crabs are attacked, their butts do spew flames to propel them forward, a trait that is similar to that of fried snails. Field took the note and jot down something.
"Hagrid, was there anything special about you when you found them? I mean, could they be something that was crossed with a fire crab?" asked Field.
Hagrid scratched his head and began to think about it. "If I said that, I'd always suspected it was a sphinx, because I found the eggs in the scorpion's lair. ”
"Human-headed sphinx, manticore!!" Field and Rolf exclaimed almost simultaneously.
The two of them were not surprised, and according to Hagrid's intentions, there was a sphin-like manticore, and a nest had been built near the castle.
The Sphinx is also a rare magical creature, but unlike the Fire Crab, the Sphinx Manticore's rating in the Ministry of Magic is 5X.
This magical creature, native to Greece, is an extremely dangerous species that has a human head, a lion's torso and a scorpion's tail. And there are countless needles on the tail that can shoot out. Anyone who is stung by it will be killed instantly.
The Sphinx Manticore, as rare and dangerous as another magical creature, the Kemeramon, is at the top of their favorite recipe for human flesh, and since the 14th century, the Sphinx has made a name for itself in the wizarding world due to the spread of a horror story detailing the grunt of the Sphinx as it devours its prey. Almost every child in the European wizarding world has been frightened to tears by the story of the human-headed sphinx manticore.
