Chapter 266 Some Functions of Fried Snails
Hagrid's hut came to a lot of students.
A chest is opened, and the creatures inside look disgusting.
The Knicks suspect that the professors have made an appointment, and the morning is all disgusting stuff, and he doesn't know if he can eat at noon?
After communicating with the others, I knew that it was called a fried tail snail.
Very figuratively, their tails will explode, and the force of the explosion will propel them forward for a certain distance. All the snails are stacked on top of each other and crawl around, even if they hit the box, they won't turn around. Nicks suspected that these creatures had no brains.
The air was filled with the smell of stinky fish and rotten shrimp, which made people feel unusually disgusting.
"Hermione, have you seen an introduction to this creature in the library?" Nicks asked.
"Nope."
Hagrid heard Knicks's confusion, was a little nervous, and said loudly, "Okay, one for each person, we're going to have a big project this year." Raise them."
"Why raise it?" Draco Malfoy asked from the crowd.
Hagrid was asked.
"What can they do?" Draco continued, "What's the use of being raised?"
Hagrid thought for a moment and then said angrily, "That's for the next lesson, all you have to do today is feed them. I haven't raised them either, so you need to test what they like to eat?"
Nicks shook his head, as a teacher, Hagrid was unqualified, he could say to the crowd, "Let's do an experiment to explore a magical creature that hasn't been recorded yet, maybe your name will be in the textbook in the future."
That way other people will be interested, not like now, everyone is disgusted and doesn't want to touch the snail.
There are exceptions, of course, like Seamus, who seems to have found something to be fun with.
The snail will explode, and Seamus discovers that the explosion is a flame, and he removes the flame so that the snail can't move in this way.
Nick asked curiously beside him, "Do you know why they can explode?"
"Don't know? What's wrong?" Seamus asked.
"I wondered, how they exploded, was it a spell or something? If it's some kind of substance, George and Fred should be interested, collect some and sell it to them."
Ron's eyes lit up, and he grabbed one and looked closely.
Dean grabbed one as well, but he was wounded, and Lavender Brown was stung.
Instead of letting them go to the school doctor's office, Hagrid excitedly said, "I think the thorny ones are males, and the females have something like a sucker on their stomachs that might suck blood."
This frightened the little wizard and threw away the snail from afar.
The Knicks miss Lupin, at least Lupin will warn everyone to be careful, wear protection, and explain some principles so that everyone can understand why the thorny is male, and there are suckers that may suck blood.
Thinking of protection, Nix carefully observed the fried tail snails, and he found that these little things were not afraid of flames, and their immature shells were fireproof and explosion-proof.
Nicks asked, "Hagrid, can I unravel one?"
"You want to kill it? Why do you think so, isn't it good to be raised?" Hagrid wondered.
"Their tails are fireproof, and I want to compare them to dragon skin, maybe in the future they can replace dragon skin gloves."
Hagrid was reluctant, but in order to stop Draco's mouth, he agreed, "There are many more, you can unravel one."
Using Transfiguration, Nicks conjured a knife and used his magic to secure a snail from moving.
Everyone around him stared at Knicks, but he gestured a few times and couldn't find the head of the snail.
"Hagrid, what's the point?"
"I don't know, I'd suggest trying the abdomen."
Nicks cut down into the abdomen. The snail struggled a few times and then remained motionless. It seems that Hagrid guessed correctly, and he was killed in one fell swoop.
Next, the Knicks dismantled it into eight pieces, and found that the whole fried tail snail was like a mollusk, and under the soft shell was a whole, and the internal organs inside were difficult to distinguish. The medicine man's inspiration told him,
The current fried tail snail is in the juvenile stage and has little medicinal value.
The cut part was thrown away, and when it fell to the ground, it suddenly exploded.
Hermione was taken aback.
Nicks reassured, "It's fine. At least we can confirm that it was by secreting something to produce an explosion, not by magic."
I walked over to check the rest of the part, and most of it was blown up by the high temperature, and the remaining minced meat was also cooked because of the high temperature, and it tasted quite fragrant.
"It's useless, maybe we can let the house-elves see if they can make food."
"I wouldn't eat something so disgusting." Several young wizards said together.
Nicks pointed to the soft shell of the fried snail and said, "Seamo, let's burn it."
Seamus threw a ball of flame at it, and after a while, nothing changed in the soft shell.
"What's the use of such a small piece?" Draco Malfoy was unconvinced.
Nicks nodded. "A small piece really doesn't work. Once this box is slaughtered, it will be made into a fire cloak."
Hagrid nervously said, "That's not going to work, Knicks, you can't kill them all."
Ignoring Hagrid, Nix took out the Babo tuber pus he had just gotten and poured a little.
The pungent smell made the Gryffindor wizards who had just taken the class realize what was in the hands of the Nix.
Hermione said, "Nix, you steal again."
It's no wonder that Hermione thinks the Knicks stole it, he stole the mandrake in the second grade.
"The professor gave it." Nicks explained, "Neville can testify."
Hermione looked at Neville, "Honestly, he dared to threaten you, and I would help you."
Neville opened his mouth, only nodding in acknowledgement. "The professor gave it." Didn't say that the Knicks wanted to steal, but he exposed it.
After soaking for a while, the soft shell is still intact and has not broken out.
Nicks drew his wand.
"Clean up"
He tried to clean the soft shell, but unexpectedly, the spell rebounded.
Ron was shocked and muttered, "Bounce! If you use this to make a dress, you won't be afraid of spells. How much is that worth?"
When everyone heard Ron's words, their eyes changed when they looked at the snail.
Someone wondered, "Hagrid, how can you let them reproduce more?"
"If you want more, you must at least raise them." Hagrid Road.
"Can we take it after breeding?" Someone asked again.
Hagrid frowned, "You don't want to kill the shell, do you?"
"Why, we just want to raise them."
"What do you want to feed? Is it frog liver?"
The class was divided, some were positive, some were dismissive.
After class, I had lunch in the auditorium, lamb chops and potatoes, it smelled good, but the Knicks couldn't eat it, the two things in the morning were too disgusting, and I hadn't had such a disgusting class in the previous three years.
He couldn't help but speculate that maybe the professors had taken into account the feelings of the little wizards in the past and didn't put disgusting content into the teaching, and the little wizards would have to face all kinds of things this year.
