Chapter 101: Horse-shaped water monsters

This time, Hagrid talks to them about the horse-shaped water monster.

The Horse-Shaped Monster is a type of water monster that can be shapeshifted, and they can transform into any shape.

However, they are most commonly in the shape of horses, always wearing broad-leaved cattails as a mane, hence the name "horse-shaped water monster".

They often induce unwary people to ride on their backs, and then burrow into the bottom of rivers or lakes to drown them.

They will gobble up people and float their internal organs on the water.

The way to defeat them is very simple, it has to do with their name, using the [Placement Charm] to place the horse-shaped hive's head on the head of the horse-shaped water monster can make them docile and obedient.

Hagrid also told them that the largest known horse-shaped monster is Scotland's Loch Ness Monster.

His favorite image was that of a sea serpent, and was often seen by Muggles, becoming one of the unsolved mysteries on their side.

Like the dragon's nerves and the phoenix's tail feathers, the horse-shaped monster's mane can also act as a wand heart, but not as effective as the first two.

After learning that the horse-shaped monster could change shape at will, Ralph glanced at them.

"Hagrid, are there any horse-shaped monsters in the school?"

William asked curiously.

"Nope. Not only are there no schools, but there are also no schools in the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid replied that it was a pity that he wanted to raise such a cute magical animal.

Several people nodded, continuing to listen to Hagrid tell his story of Fantastic Beasts.

As several people kept interrupting, Hagrid grew up in his storytelling.

In the beginning, when the few people talked about Fantastic Beasts with Hagrid, it was mainly Ralph and their inquiry.

Now, it's Hagrid himself telling the story, and there's no need for Ralph to ask questions to move the content forward.

Unless there was something that really needed to be understood, they wouldn't bother with Hagrid's story right now.

You know, since Ralph and the others often came to Hagrid to learn about magical beasts, Hagrid felt a lot of pressure.

So, he asked Professor Celtburn about all kinds of magical beasts, and like a student, he listened very carefully, and even took notes, but the words were not good.

While talking to Ralph about Fantastic Beasts, Hagrid is also learning about Fantastic Beasts with Professor Celtburn to increase his knowledge.

It was also the first time he realized that he still had so many shortcomings.

For example, the Golden Flyers, although they are golden, they are like the hummingbirds of the Muggle world, with discolored feathers on their necks and heads.

The color is brighter when you are happy, and the color changes faster; When you're unhappy, the color is darker, and the color changes between dark and dark colors.

It's amazing!

After increasing his knowledge, Hagrid still felt overwhelmed when he lectured Ralph and them.

"Lecturing", that's what he thinks.

After all, after living at Hogwarts for so many years, who hasn't dreamed of becoming a professor?

Doesn't Filch still have a wizarding dream?

During a routine Hogsmeade village meeting, Hagrid talked to Dumbledore about it through his drinking.

The professors covered their mouths and smiled softly, promising Hagrid to teach him how to teach his students and something.

Dumbledore was very pleased, touched his beard, smiled very brightly, and poured several bottles of wine, and Madam Pomfrey was stunned when she saw the other table.

He decided to give Hagrid some of the way he used to teach.

I still remember those years, he was very popular with students!

This time, they met at Lady Padiv's teahouse.

After disposing of all the garbage in the Responsive House, Hogwarts has a lot more money.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall graciously invited everyone to meet in the private room of Lady Padduff's teahouse.

There is no sweetness of the weekend, and the Lady Padiff teahouse at this time is a warm yellow light, and the air is filled with the smoky scent, which feels good.

With a goal and resources, Hagrid learns at a rapid pace.

Back to Ralph them.

Knowing the horse-shaped monster's abilities, Ralph and the others were excited.

Quickly found Severus and told him about the abilities of the horse-shaped water monster and their guesses.

Severus was naturally convinced of their choice.

So they talked to Professor Sgrahorn about it, and Professor Sgrahorn thought about it for a while, and then thought about activating his network to find a horse-shaped water monster.

His idea was to domesticate the horse-shaped monster in the school's black lake in the name of Hogwarts, so as to increase the knowledge of the students and increase the school's heritage.

However, Professor McGonagall needed a nod from him, and it would be difficult to achieve these goals without Professor McGonagall's consent.

Within a week, news of Hogwarts' introduction of a horse-shaped water monster for use in Magical Beasts protection classes spread throughout the United Kingdom.

Public opinion is on the side of Hogwarts, and there are some who have carefully criticized the good or bad of this matter from a neutral side.

Some do-gooders have also compared Hogwarts to other schools of witchcraft and wizardry in Europe, degrading other schools of witchcraft and wizardry to worthlessness and lifting Hogwarts to the sky.

Among them, there is no shortage of Death Eater forces.

The dissensibility outside the school didn't bother Ralph and them.

Since it was a sample of various parts of a whole fantastic beast, Professor Sgrahorn, the instructor, was involved in Ralph's experiment.

This time the raw material test was mainly conducted by Professor Sgrahorn and Severus, with Ralph acting as a support, or more accurately, watching from the sidelines.

Through testing, they found that the magic of the horse-shaped water monster's transformation mainly relies on the bodily fluids of various parts of the body.

The three most important parts are: skin, blood, and bones.

After several experiments, the mimic deformation effect of the skin extract was the best, followed by the bones, and finally the blood.

After finding the blank version of the main material, another question presented to them:

How do you get the horse-shaped monster skin extract to accurately recognize the flavor crystal and transform it into its form?

Are you adding some excipients?

Obviously not, in the addition of excipients, the cost of this potion is too high, it is difficult to achieve the purpose of civilianization.

They had a specialization in the arts, and they went to Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick was far less knowledgeable about potions than Professor Sgrahorn, so he simply looked for a solution to the potions themselves.

He had a couple of ideas.

One: Develop a special spell to determine the object of the mimicry of the horse-shaped water monster's skin extraction, and use it when adding flavor crystals.

2. Design a new magic drink container, and engrave the corresponding Runiwen or directly apply magic to achieve the goal.

Three......

I have to say that the Ravenclaw wizard's mind is really wild.

Initially, it took Professor Flitwick a lot of time to come up with a few ideas.

After that, it crackled like a downpour of lightning, and it continued to emerge one after another.

After thinking about it, several people still chose the first and second methods, because these two are the most normal and simple.

Although Professor Sgrahorn is tight-lipped, his recent behavior has given everyone a hint of something unusual.

Some of the professors were inexplicably nervous.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Professor Flitwick asked him.
