Chapter 131: Ron and the Monkey
In the forbidden forest, the friends were half excited and half cautious sneaking. It's much more exciting than a night tour in a castle.
"Hey, Ron, don't be left behind in the line, be careful. There are eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest! β
Ted teased Ron when he saw that he looked sleepy with his head drooping.
"W-What? Eight-eyed spider?! Ron was in good spirits, and he scurried into the middle of the group.
Harley: They are also curious about what an eight-eyed spider is. Only Hermione knew something.
Hermione spoke, "I've seen eight-eyed spiders in books. It is said to be a large, ferocious spider monster. It is native to the island of Kalimantan and inhabits dense jungles. It is carnivorous and poisonous. Eight-eyed spiders have high IQs, and a few of them can even speak! β
"Talk? Is it like Ansu? Jerry asked.
Ted reached out and touched Ansu on his shoulder: "No, Ansu is much smarter. β
Ansu puffed up his chest and looked proud.
Ted: "In the Forbidden Forest, there's an eight-eyed spider's habitat, a large hunting ground, and even centaurs don't want to set foot on it. It is said that the amount is huge! β
"That's right! The venom of the eight-eyed spider is worth a lot, a small bottle is worth 100 Galleons. However, it is difficult to collect venom from a living eight-eyed spider, and soon after the eight-eyed spider dies, the venom in the venom glands will dry up, which is why it is worth so much. β
Ted looked at Ron to see if Kim Gallon was attractive or if spiders were more intimidating.
Ron's face turned white with fright! But the expression is still a little eager to try~
β¦β¦
After two days in a row, Harry's interest in the night tour of the Forbidden Forest was greatly reduced.
Although the adventure in the Forbidden Forest was indeed exciting, in two nights, they had seen more than a dozen magical beasts with their own eyes, killed five or six magical creatures with their own hands, and collected several herbs.
Honestly, it's exciting. It's much more interesting than going to class.
The problem is that it's too sleepy!
It is the age of growing body and snoozing.
Ted can quickly regain his energy through deep sleep, only need to sleep for an hour or two, but they can't.
After two days, the dark circles under my eyes were like being poisoned by corpses.
In broad daylight, he yawned and nodded in class.
Ted thinks it's about the same, and it is estimated that they will not be able to survive it.
For two days at most, they will have to give up the night tour of the Forbidden Forest and choose to return to the dormitory to sleep beautifully.
It is only after experiencing this devastation of drowsiness that they can learn the preciousness of adequate sleep.
Ted: You still have a lot of energy, don't you?! I can't stand the twins!
"Ted, why don't we go north. We haven't been there yet, have we? Jerry asked.
Ted looked north, "Do you know the professor at the school who teaches magical beast conservation?" β
Hallie, the courtesan, immediately said, "I know, I've heard of it, and I've seen it once." An old man, smiling, with only one arm and one leg made of wood. β
"That's right, Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn, he was in the school even before Professor Dumbledore. But to this day, he is still a temporary professor of magical beast protection. β
"Why?" Neville asked strangely.
"For he has been placed on probation for sixty-two times! Like Hagrid, he was most fond of dangerous magical creatures, and it was hard to tell if his lost hand and foot had anything to do with this hobby. β
When the friends heard this, they immediately remembered last year's young dragon Nober.
That's really a master of dismantling, even Hagrid can't control it.
Ron's hand was bitten and swollen for three days!
If this Professor Kettleburn is like Hagrid, then ...... No, if Hagrid is like this Professor Kettleburn, it is difficult to guarantee that Hagrid will still have a few hands and legs when he is old~
"Professor Kettleburn doesn't like to live in a castle, so he lives in a wooden house to the north with his magical animals nearby. That's why I've never gone over there~"
Ted explained why he didn't go over there.
The periphery of the Forbidden Forest was not a danger to him. But if you go over there, not necessarily.
Professor Kettleburn also cast an expansion charm on the Flame Serpent, which burned down the Great Hall of Hogwarts, so much so that there is no entertainment at Hogwarts until now.
In the books, he retired to Hogsmeade and lived in Hogsmeade, but was unable to participate in the final Battle of Hogwarts due to his physical inconvenience.
But the eccentric, obstinate, but extremely respectable wizard climbed up the attic and threw all his Flober caterpillars through the skylight onto the passing Death Eaters.
Also an interesting old man.
β¦β¦
While on a night tour, Ted found a patch of cool grass.
It's a less commonly used herb, but he recently had a small study that happened to use it.
So mobilize your friends and help him pick them together.
The friends scattered within a dozen steps away, squatting on the ground and mowing the grass.
Ron, on the other hand, sighed softly and looked at the small handful of unremarkable grass in his hand. This thing is cold in your hand.
He's not been in a good mood lately, and he's still a little short of wand money, so he can only watch others cast spells every time he goes to class, and he pretends to make gestures on the side.
I don't know if this cool grass is worth anything?
At that moment, a small, thin shadow hung silently from the branch above his head, and then reached out and pulled the wand from his waist.
"Huh? Feed! Give me back your wand! β
Hearing Ron's shout, everyone was startled and looked over to see that Ron was fighting with a monkey hanging upside down with his tail on a tree branch for his rebellious wand.
The monkey is about, more than 40 centimeters tall, with white hair and black tail, a very long tail, can be wrapped around a tree and swing, is naughty by nature, and has a natural ability to lead sheep.
It's called a long-tailed thief!
This thing is native to Southeast Asia, and it is certainly not native to the wizarding world of Great Britain. It should be the same as the eight-eyed spider, who brought it to the Forbidden Forest.
Ted suspects that Professor Kettleburn raised him.
However, while Ted was thinking about the origin of the monkey, the "battle" had already entered the white heat.
When the monkey saw that he couldn't grab it, he got annoyed and went up to give Ron a little pocketβafter all, monkeys aren't big!
But although it doesn't hurt, how much psychological damage is this little coercive pocket to a twelve-year-old child?
Ron's eyes were red, and he immediately raised his hand and slapped it back.
Then the monkey slapped back again, and Ron slapped it again......
In five seconds, the two sides exchanged three big pockets.
Friends are stupid, what's the situation?
Ted reacted quickly, and a freezing spell froze the long-tailed thief monkey, and Ron snatched back his wand.
At this time, Ron was already on his head, and he was slapped by the monkey several times, how could he see people?
"I'm back! This damn woods! He dropped a word and walked back.
Ted said to the others, "Yes, let's go back too." Don't come tomorrow, let's rest for a while. β
The friends looked at each other and had to go back.
Ted grabbed the frozen monkey: how dare he rob it? I think it's a toast and doesn't eat cooking wine.
It just so happens that Ted is going to experiment with a new product, isn't this the experimental material sent to the door?!
β¦β¦
Since the incident of Ron vs. the Long-tailed Monkey Thief, the friends have not mentioned that they will not be taken with Ted on the night tour of the Forbidden Forest.
Truth be told, it's Ted who asks them to go on a night trip, and they don't go.
The pain of lack of sleep is too painful~
It's like someone is stirring and stirring in your head with a stirring stick, and you want to fall down and pass out.
It took four or five days for the friends to recover. That's it, I still drank the vitality tonic.
Ron was even silent for several days because of the incident with the monkey calling for the pocket.
Neville and Jerry asked for a large plate of chicken drumsticks from the kitchen to make him laugh.
In comparison, Malfoy is proud.
Because he was chosen as a Slytherin Quidditch player, he was also a crucial Seeker.
His father, Lucius, generously donated seven expensive Light Wheel 2001 broomsticks to the Slytherin Quidditch team, sending his son directly to the academy team.
It fully embodies what it means to be "rich and can really do whatever you want".
provoked Ron to scold behind his back: Quidditch chooses people like this, I'm afraid I don't even want face!
You say that the broom is not good, the broom is not good, how many years have it been used for one session at a time, and it has not been spicy? Change the soup and not the medicine......
Just a few people, you Malfoy are doing everything as a Seeker, can he be? I can't do it, I don't have the ability to know!
The more I think about it, the more I hate Lockhart, if it weren't for him, I would definitely have my own broom this year, and maybe I would have been selected for the hospital team!
And the speedy cars, and the wands, damn wands......
