Chapter 152: I Have a Friend

Hagrid held the bottle above his head, looked at the ruby-like liquid inside in confusion, and muttered, "A special rat tonic?" ”

He also learned today that now even pet rats have tonics, and they are also idiosyncratic.

Hagrid looked at the bottle in his hand again.

He didn't doubt Kyle's words, because it took more than half an hour from the beginning to the end, and it took so long to produce a bottle, and the quality must not be bad.

He just didn't understand it a little.

After all, rats are the most common and cheapest pets, and in Diagon Alley, they cost less than half the price of a toad, and they are not even as expensive as a pack of better owl food.

In addition, pet rats also have the shortest lifespan, generally only seven years...... It is worth mentioning that the young wizard also attended Hogwarts for seven years.

And other pets ...... For example, a toad or a cat can live for more than ten years, and an owl is even longer.

As a result, few young wizards would value those rats, let alone pay them custom tonics.

"Yes." Kyle put the stove and cauldron back into the bag, got up and said, "This is for the Weasleys' pet mouse, it's been a few years, and Percy used to come to me every year when school started." ”

"I also just remembered that the rat had become Ron's pet this year, and Percy seemed to have forgotten to tell him about it."

"Weasley's rats?"

Hagrid didn't know much about Percy, but he knew Ron, the youngest boy in the Weasley family, who had come with Harry yesterday.

Does he have a pet rat though?

Hagrid thought about it carefully, vaguely remembering that Ron did have a bulging pocket when he came, but the next second, he wasn't very sure.

Mainly, his attention was almost all on Harry at the time, and he didn't pay much attention to Ron, and it was normal that he couldn't remember clearly.

Hagrid returned the bottle to Kyle and asked, "Do you make tonic for other pets besides rats?" ”

"Of course, all four Hogwarts pets are fine."

"What about the others, like Fantastic Beasts or something." Hagrid asked again.

"Fantastic Beasts can do the same." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But it depends on which one, a large magical beast like Lou Wei can't do it...... Of course, they don't need to drink any tonics. ”

"What about spiders." Hagrid blurted out.

Kyle looked at him and asked thoughtfully, "What breed?" ”

"It's the Eight-Eyed Giant...... Uh," Hagrid paused, then suddenly became vague, and said hesitantly, "No, I mean, just a normal spider, but a little bigger." ”

"Big ...... A little? Kyle raised an eyebrow.

Hagrid nodded firmly, "Well, bigger!" ”

Kyle looked at Hagrid steadfastly, until he began to feel weak, and then said in a long voice, "No......"

Hagrid's face was barely showing a hint of disappointment when Kyle continued, "But...... I can try to look into it. ”

"What?" Hagrid, who hadn't reacted yet, asked subconsciously.

"Just try a few more times and see if you can concoct a tonic that works for them." Kyle said, "I've done this a few times before, I can try it if you need to." ”

Hagrid, who reacted, was pleasantly surprised: "Great...... I mean, if not to bother. ”

"It's not a hassle, but I can't guarantee how long it will take to give it to you." Kyle spread his hands and said, "It's a month as fast, a year as slow, it's possible." ”

"That's okay," Hagrid said nonchalantly, "do you need my help?" If you want any herb, tell me, and I'll go to the depths of the Forbidden Forest to find it when the time comes. ”

Although most of the rare herbs had been moved into the greenhouse by Professor Sprout, the Forbidden Forest was so large that he could still find them if he ran a little farther.

"I have a lot of herbs here, so there's no need to look for them, but ......"

Kyle frowned and said, "You'll have to get me a sample, I'll have to try the effect." ”

Hagrid's eyes flickered, "Uh...... With the general ... Can't you try a normal spider? ”

"No way!"

Kyle shook his head and said, "Different types naturally have different effects on them, and sometimes even if you make a little mistake, the tonic will turn into poison."

It's like belladonna roots...... Motra rats eat it is a great tonic, but ordinary rats will definitely die if they eat it. ”

"This ......"

Hagrid hesitated suddenly.

He asked for a spider tonic because he wanted to give an eight-eyed giant spider named Aragog.

It was Hagrid's pet fifty years ago, and now that he's old, he's been wondering how he can keep it alive for a few more years.

Spider tonic is a good way to do it.

But the problem is that the eight-eyed giant spider is not an ordinary magical animal, but a dangerous creature of the XXXXX level, which is forbidden to be raised.

Hagrid certainly wouldn't give it to Kyle.

He might be able to convince Aragog, or his descendants, not to hurt Kyle, but what if someone else finds out.

Kyle will definitely be fired then, just like he did back then. At the same time, Aragog and his people in the Forbidden Forest will not escape the fate of being cleared.

Not knowing what came to mind, Hagrid's expression became more and more determined.

But just as he was about to give up the spider tonic, he heard Kyle say thoughtfully:

"Wait...... If it's a venomous spider, then you can actually use their venom. ”

It's been several times since Hagrid's mood has just fallen and risen like a roller coaster.

He looked at Kyle and said angrily, "You can finish it all at once next time." ”

"I don't want to." Kyle explains, "The main thing is that I don't like spiders very much, and my knowledge of them is limited to a book I read a few years ago, which is so long that a lot of things need to be thought about to remember." ”

Hagrid was starting to get nervous again.

"Then the Venom you just said ......"

"It's true." Kyle stared at Hagrid and suddenly smiled and said, "Looks like you've got a poisonous spider." ”

"It's not me, I don't." Hagrid's voice suddenly raised a lot, and he shook his head again and again, "I have a friend, right...... My friend likes poisonous spiders, and I always ask for him. ”

"Oh~~" Kyle suddenly said, "It turned out to be your friend." ”

"I didn't ...... That's right. ”

Hagrid's ears were red, he twisted his head to the side, and quickly changed the subject: "How much spider venom do you need, I'll go ...... Well, I mean let him prepare it for you. ”

"It's not good to say, it depends on the efficiency." Kyle thought for a moment, then said seriously, "But to be on the safe side, the more the merrier." ”
