Rove caught a dozen carnivorous slugs and prepared to bring them back to the crates to multiply them in large numbers to serve as rations for the basilisk and the fire dragon.

With the slugs out of his way, Hagrid invited them to the cabin for a chat, and served steaming rock crust cakes and new pastries...... Sweet shortbread.

Speaking of sweet shortbread, Rove didn't see the sugar, but found that the shortbread was wrapped in a thick layer of salt.

"Hagrid, did you confuse sugar with salt?" Rove asked cautiously.

"No, the sugar is all under the salt!" Hagrid was a little embarrassed and said, "I put too much sugar in my throat, and I added a little salt, so that the taste is more comfortable and not too greasy."

Come, everyone, don't be polite, try it, don't be polite to me. ”

“……”

Rove, Shirley, and Hermione exchanged glances, all wisely picking up the perilla tea and not touching the shortbread.

Hagrid's manipulation silenced the sweet and salty party.

Hagrid's mouth was indeed good, and he picked up the crust cake and crapped it...... It was deliciously eaten.

"I heard Lockhart is hospitalized again?"

"Yes, he was injured by the elf." Rove took a sip of tea and said leisurely, "But I was discharged from the hospital again today." ”

Staying in the hospital three times a week, Rove was still worried about whether Lockhart would choose to resign in anger for the past two days, but he didn't expect him to leave.

I have to say...... Lockhart is still quite brave.

"He'll have to be hospitalized sooner or later!" Hagrid gloated a little:

"The last time he came to me, he wanted to teach me how to prevent water monsters from burrowing into wells, and he boasted about how he drove away female ghosts...... If one of the sentences was true, I ate the teapot. ”

Rove glanced at Hermione meaningfully, and the girl glared back at him without saying anything, but continued to drink her tea.

Hagrid rarely criticizes Hogwarts professors, even he says so......

Hermione was a little uncomfortable, why did she always lose when she made a bet with Rove?!

However, although she always loses, it also inspires Hermione's strong sense of victory and defeat, and she firmly believes that she can win against Rove one day.

Just then, there was a knock at the door, and Hagrid stood up and opened the wooden door, revealing Harry and Ron outside the door.

Harry walked in with Ron in his arms, and Ron's mouth and nose kept getting out of the slippery slugs, which looked disgusting.

Hagrid hurriedly pulled out a large vat and placed it in front of Ron, causing him to spit in the bucket, and he asked, "What happened?" ”

Harry sat down in his chair and said quickly, "Just now at the Quidditch pitch, our academy held a new player selection ......"

"Gryffindor is starting to draft new players now?" Rove was a little surprised.

The selection for the Quidditch team is usually in the second week after the start of school, but Gryffindor was expected to be a week earlier this year.

George and Fred said Captain Wood wanted to find a new Seeker as soon as possible and then put it into practice. Harry explained.

Because of Rove's butterfly effect, Harry didn't become a Gryffindor Seeker in his first year, so they lost to Slytherin last term.

In order to win the Quidditch Cup, Wood opted for an early selection so that he could get his new team in shape as soon as possible.

Well, Gryffindor is the first team to prepare for the '92-93 season.

Snape, who got the news, immediately signed a special order for the Slytherin team to train at Quidditch...... Being able to disgust Gryffindor is his greatest joy.

"Ron and I were tryout, and Draco Malfoy was here with a copy of the Daily Prophet." Harry continued:

"There's an interview with Malfoy's dad attacking Mr. Weasley and making him resign......"

"And then you got into a conflict?" Hagrid said in a gruff voice.

Harry nodded, "Ron's wand is broken, and the spell he cast has bounced off himself. ”

"Good thing you didn't hit Malfoy, Ron! You're too impulsive! Hagrid's rugged face showed a sense of responsibility: "If you really hit that kid, his father will definitely come to trouble you, Lucius Malfoy is the school director......"

Ron opened his mouth to speak, but instead of speaking, he burped, and several slugs fell from his mouth to his thighs.

"Is there a way to heal Ron?" Harry hurriedly asked.

"I guess I'll have to wait until he vomits clean." Hagrid turned his head and asked, "Rov, is there anything you can do?" ”

"I'll try." Rove drew his wand and pointed it at Ron and said, "Stop!" ”

Ron no longer had slugs in his stomach, and he lay weakly in his chair and said with a pale face, "Thank you, Rove!" ”

"Ron, you'd better hurry up and buy a new wand from Ollivander." Rove reminded. "A broken wand can't be used, and it's easy to backfire and hit yourself."

Ron smiled wryly, because of the Flying Cars, his father was not only suspended by the Ministry of Magic, but Ginny also told him that he might be fined.

The family didn't have the money to get him a new wand.

"It's okay, I'm in the second-hand market at school, and I fancy a second-hand magic wand, and the seller says that girls use it for themselves, and it's new...... The price is also very cheap. Ron said weakly.

“……”

After Rove heard this, he inexplicably remembered that he bought a graphics card in a salted fish in his previous life, which seemed to be the same set of rhetoric.

He immediately persuaded Ron...... The water in the second-hand market is deep, and it is not something that Ron can grasp.

But it's a pity that Ron has been brainwashed by the girl's own gimmick.

Soon it was noon, and Hagrid left them to eat in the cabin.

This time it wasn't rock crust cakes, but a smorgasbord of beef, and in Hagrid's words, the teeth drooled when they smelled it.

Rove thought about what else could there be in beef, and he could have some potato beef stew at random, which was the top ingredient for rice, and it was not difficult, so he agreed.

But he apparently underestimated the gold content of Britain's "gastronomic desert", and underestimated Hagrid's creativity in making such a dark dish as "rock crust cake".

After only a few moments in the kitchen, Rove saw Hagrid add half a bottle of tomato juice and a chunk of cheese to the pot.

Maybe it's a special trick...... Rove comforted himself, and then watched as he added the crumbled crust cake.

That wasn't enough, Hermione was on the doorway shelf, and found dried carnivorous slugs, and upon inquiry, she found out that it was only a small part of the smorgasbord.

It turns out that the essence of beef hodgepodge is not in beef, but in hodgepodge......

Hagrid had already served the table, and the three of them hurriedly found an excuse to leave in a hurry, and before leaving, Rove asked Harry and Ron to go together, but unfortunately the two of them didn't understand and had already picked up the fork.

When he came to the lawn, Rove looked back at the smoke-filled cabin, and said:

"Are slugs eaten by humans? I can't trust any of the food Hagrid makes again! ”

"Look at the technique, too, I've eaten French snails before." Hermione ran out of breath, held her waist with one hand and said:

"The taste is softer and more tender than oysters, and the elasticity is good, soft and juicy."

"Then why are you running so fast?" Rove tugged at the corners of his mouth and said, "Now when I go back, I can also taste the slugs of the English flavor." ”

"Forget it then." The girl shook her head vigorously like a rattle: "I'd rather starve to death!" ”

“……”

Inside the cabin,

Harry and Ron picked up their forks and each slipped a large piece of black stuff.

"Hurry up, you two lucky guys, you can't eat this kind of good stuff in the auditorium!" Hagrid urged.

Harry and Ron shoved the food into their mouths.

"Vomit!"
