After the start of the semester, the professors also had a much looser inspection of the library and night tours, because they had to correct their homework, so they naturally did not have time to make rounds in the evening.

That night, Kyle, who had been honest for two weeks, took the map and couldn't wait to open the door to the library.

The new shelves in the box are ready, they can't be left empty forever, and Kyle plans to fill them with the rest of the semester.

Although this task is a bit daunting, as long as he sleeps an hour less every day and is a little more diligent, he should still be able to complete it.

Kyle took his wand and drove to the forbidden book section.

Only this time he didn't go to the shelves to get the books in the previous order, but carefully identified the name of each one, and only when he saw what he needed, he would pull it out and put it aside.

After more than half an hour, Kyle found a total of three books, all of which were related to the basilisk.

Deadly Sight

Medieval Exploration: Ancient Species That Fade

How to Make a Rooster Lay Eggs

But there's something strange going on in there.

Kyle holds the last book with a black cover, which is not much thicker than a notebook, and wonders how this thing got into the forbidden section.

But Newt and Hagrid will probably enjoy the book, so they can copy it now and give it to them as a Christmas present next year.

Because he hadn't been here for a night trip for a long time, and because he had read a lot of books this time, Kyle stayed in the library until dawn.

In the days that followed, he was back to the hectic state he had before the holiday.

Quidditch training has started again.

Fortunately, Harris is not as strict with them as other teams, and even when the game is approaching, it is still only a regular training session three times a week.

Gryffindor, in contrast, is different, and Wood has reached the point of frenzy in order to play the next game, training almost every afternoon.

Even on rainy days after heavy snowfall, Kyle could see them at the Quidditch pitch.

Fred and George complained to them more than once that Wood was turning into a training freak who didn't care about their lives.

And Fred also said that if this continues, I'm afraid they will all be admitted to the school hospital before the game.

However, Kyle has reason to suspect that they are playing a bitter game, after all, the next game is Hufflepuff vs. Gryffindor.

In addition to Quidditch training, Kyle also finds time to visit Hagrid's hut on weekends.

Because he found that ever since Hagrid started keeping an eye out for the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, there were always all sorts of surprises in his hut.

"Here you go, Kyle, unicorn's tail."

In the room, Hagrid poured Kyle a cup of tea and gave him a small bag, "I remember you liked these things, so I collected some for you, and they all fell off naturally." ”

Kyle took the bag and opened it for a look...... There are more than a dozen long silver hairs inside, and they are in perfect condition.

"So many ......," Kyle was surprised, "These are all the ones you picked up recently?" ”

Unicorns don't like to shed as much as swallowtails, especially tails...... If there is no wizard intervention, it will take about half a year to fall off.

I didn't expect Hagrid to pick up so many in a few weeks, could it be that there is a unicorn group in the Forbidden Forest?

"Most of them were left behind." Hagrid put the copper kettle on the stove and said casually, "I was going to weave them into mats, but the tail hairs were too bright to look good together, so I picked them all out." ”

"Originally, there were more, but I didn't find them, and the rest are here, just for you."

"Okay......" Kyle tugged at the corners of his mouth.

It can only be said that it is worthy of Hagrid, and it is just a unicorn wool mat to weave, and he actually dislikes the tail hair The color is too bright, and he has a long experience.

"By the way, Kyle......"

At this time, Hagrid suddenly said with some twists: "Please ask your spider tonic before...... How's it going.

Of course, I didn't mean to rush you, just curiosity...... Yes, curious to ask. ”

"Almost." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I did a test on Lee Jordan's Sarsupial Spider, and it worked pretty well.

The next step is to add the eight-leaf clover, but this plant is rare, and it takes two weeks to get it from Diagon Alley. ”

The eight-leaf flower is a very fragile material, which is only useful when it is at its freshest, and it is also very demanding on the growing environment, and the wrong light and temperature can cause it to wilt quickly.

As a result, potions stores don't usually have inventory in the store, and it's usually pre-ordered, when it's needed, and when it's picked.

Of course, it is not cheap, it costs twenty-nine Galleons for one plant, and it has to be paid upfront, and no returns of any kind are accepted.

Despite this, Kyle placed the order without hesitation.

Not to mention the tail hairs of these dozen unicorns, even compared to the nearly two pints of eight-eyed spider venom that Hagrid gave before, these are small amounts.

"Eight-leaf ......," Hagrid thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the kind of plant that has eight leaves, purple in the middle, and yellow or red on the outside?"

"That's right, when they're ripe, the petals turn from red to yellow." Kyle said, "Is there this plant in the Forbidden Forest?" ”

"That's right." Hagrid nodded, "I only saw it yesterday when I was patrolling the Forbidden Forest, near where the Unicorn Habitat lives. ”

"Can you take me there?" Kyle asked expectantly, "I promise not to run around." ”

"No way!" Hagrid refused without hesitation.

The unicorn lives in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, which is too dangerous for him to agree to Kyle's pass.

"If you need it, I'll bring it to you in a few days." Hagrid said.

"Yes, of course it does." Kyle nodded again and again, "But when you go to collect those eight-leaf leaves, it's best to dig them out with the soil, the more soil the better, and remember to write me a letter in advance, I'll be waiting for you here in the cabin." ”

Hagrid nodded, jot down Kyle's words earnestly.

"Dig with the dirt, no problem, yes, eight...... Ahem, do you still need spider venom? ”

"You've got enough of what you gave before." Kyle shook his head.

While Hagrid himself may not have minded, Kyle is embarrassed to let him go.

Moreover, the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider is not used very often, and a pint is enough for him to graduate.
