Chapter Seventy-Six: The Eight-Eyed Giant Spider on Campus

This little bag was somewhat familiar to Albus, and he always felt that it was a shopping bag from Duke Honey's candy store.

Professor McGonagall spoke directly to him about the origin of the bags.

Her bag had been given to her by Professor Sprout not long ago, and she had just thought about what to put in it last night, and she didn't think she would be able to use it today.

And Pomona is the little bag, all sent by Fox.

Professor Sprout was a gentle and attentive person, and she never forgot Fox every holiday.

The gifts she gave to Fawkes were all white fresh branches, new leaves, beans, and so on, which she carefully selected.

These are all things that Fox likes to eat.

Ever since Fawkes learned the bird language of Sniff Space, he has returned the favor to Professor Sprout every holiday.

It happened to be the small bag that Albus had left behind when he ate sugar.

After hearing this, Albus's heart seemed to be hit hard, and the whole body was depressed, and even a little angry.

Upon returning to the principal's office, an argument broke out inside, but it ended up stopping again, and it was unknown who had made the concessions.

Time flies.

Both Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest have a few more changes.

What shocked the little wizard the most was that Professor Sgrahorn had raised three eight-eyed giant spiders and had obtained a breeding license from the Ministry of Magic.

It's unimaginable.

At first, they were only the size of the professor's palm, but under the professor's feeding, they were soon about the same size as Hagrid's palm.

At the same time, the professor did not forget to equip these giant spiders with potions, because of the feeding problem, he also designed a potion bottle for them.

Actually, it's not a bottle, it uses magic to shape the colloidal body extracted from a certain magic plant into a test-tube-like shape, and then fits the lid.

The eight-eyed giant spider only needs to insert its mouthparts into the soft and hard potion bottle and absorb it as usual.

However, he soon ran into another problem and had to turn to Ralph for help, so much so that Ralph and them became his little assistants.

At the same time, Ralph and the others also meet a third-year Slytherin senior, who is highly valued by Professor Slughorn.

Daniel and he have been in contact for a long time, and the two have also had some cooperation and exchanges, of course, it is usually Senior Snape who teaches Daniel.

Severus Snape, that's his full name.

Fair-skinned, a common Slytherin problem; Some taciturn and little tsundere, not very good at expressing themselves, but cold on the outside and hot on the inside, it's still pretty good after getting acquainted with it.

That's Ralph's impression of Snape's senior.

Severus also showed surprise at their arrival, especially after knowing that the main players were Ralph and Claude.

As for William, he is just a layman, and many times he takes the wrong herbs, which makes him speechless, but it feels good to have someone to help.

Their mission was to help Professor Sgrahorn change the recipe to improve the potion's taste without affecting its potency effects.

After all, Professor Sgrahorn was very fond of the three eight-eyed spiders, causing them to be a bit rebellious and often refused to take their medicine because of the bad taste.

The wizards in the school also watched the professor go from watching them run around in the nursery box with disgust to caring for them to keep them from falling off of themselves.

I don't know what medicine the professor gave them, these three giant spiders have a much higher IQ, and they look round and chubby, which is very compatible with the professor, and they are not scary at all.

And they were still very active, full of curiosity about many things, and they often watched from the sidelines while Ralph was brewing potions.

The two feet in front of him lifted up, swiping through the air, watching the changes in the crucible, and the sound of gagged gagged from time to time.

It is worth mentioning that William is afraid of spiders, the bigger he is, the more afraid he is, but interestingly, he is not afraid of crabs and other eight-legged things.

However, after experiencing the scene of being scared by three mischievous eight-eyed giant spiders for many days, he is already immune.

These active giant spider cubs have also lost a playful "toy".

With continuous familiarization and practice, William has a clear idea of where various potions are placed, and he can accurately use the [Levitation Charm] to retrieve any potions that Claude wants.

This amazing [Levitation Charm] made Severus Gao glance at him, and it could be regarded as an endorsement of his existence.

Needless to say, Daniel always grasped the timing of the fusion and transformation of potions.

Severus also discovered that in some potions, this was not something that could be achieved with long-term practice.

Claude, on the other hand, was an encyclopedia, and not as rigid as a book, and he always connected to Muggle myths, legends, and the functions of certain plants, and then added them to the recipe.

He's definitely a Ravenclaw, Severus thought.

As for Ralph, in addition to his superb magic, Severus admires his physique, and he has to taste the potion materials that seem delicious, and he also eats some strange things, and he has not had any problems.

He even suspected that the poison in general might not have any effect on Ralph.

It was a great experience working with them, and he was able to get a lot of magic tricks from Ralph that were hard to get in textbooks;

Knowing from Claude that some of the herbs had strange effects, and that they were taste-based, he had made a point of remembering a lot of potions that tasted so bad, some of which Ralph had provided;

Keep track of the timing of potion transformation from Daniel, and learn from William that perseverance is victory!

Of course, perhaps the biggest takeaway was friendship, or real friendship, which was a little different from the "friendship" he had in Slytherin.

They're really good, and if only they were far away from James' gang, how could they get together?

Could it be that Jaime and his friends, like winter birds, smuggled them to Hogsmeade? Really, Professor McGonagall doesn't punish her, it's so obvious.

When the time comes, ask Lily, what should she know?

"Severus, it's time to deal with the herbs."

Daniel whispered in his ear that he was still a little unaccustomed to calling him by his name, and if he hadn't insisted, he might have kept calling him senior.

"Oh, I'm sorry, Daniel. Right away. ”

Severus put away the smile on his face and immediately began to process the herbs, while Daniel studied his technique with a serious face.

After disposing of the herbs, he carefully observed the changes in the crucible, and Daniel gave an order, and he threw the herbs into it.

As the flames slowly turned to normal temperature, the potion was complete.

The three eight-eyed giant spiders on the side were already impatient, and the big claws that were beating on the ground were beating on the ground.

Ralph and the others hurriedly packed the potion and threw a few of them, and each of them got one, stuck their mouthparts in it, and began to suck it.

Ralph and the others put away the rest of the potions and put them away.
