Chapter 421: The Generous Eight-Eyed Giant Spider
With a full harvest, Kyle left the Forbidden Forest satisfied.
A total of nineteen pints of eight-eyed giant spider venom was converted to nineteen hundred Galleons, and the little Tebo wart leg he gave to Lou Wei came back in a blink of an eye, and it had multiplied hundreds of times.
Of course, there weren't so many, but the old spider realized that his backsliding behavior was shameless, so he took the initiative to ask for more money.
It's not that it doesn't want to give more, it's mainly that the production capacity of the eight-eyed giant spider is so high, and the entire nest, up to Aragog himself, down to the small spider with the size of his finger, has all been squeezed dry, and only then can he barely make up nineteen pints of venom.
When Kyle left, the spiders couldn't even stand up, and were lying on the ground as if they had drunk fake wine.
The image touched Kyle a bit, and he decided to wait until he returned, so he could make a batch of spider tonic and send it to Hagrid in the shortest possible time, and ask him to send it to the eight-eyed giant spider.
Let's hope those tonics will help them recover sooner...... After all, under normal circumstances, the process of recovering the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider is quite slow.
Kyle walked into the castle in a happy mood, unaware that a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark.
"Aha!"
Filch jumped out of one of the corners and said gloomily, "I have caught you in the night!" ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Filch, I don't understand what you're saying."
Although he was taken aback, Kyle said with an unchanged face, "I just got up early and went outside for a walk." ”
"Do you think I'm going to believe your nonsense?" Filch sneered: "It's only five o'clock, how can a little wizard get up so early." ”
"Maybe I went to bed early last night." Kyle said, "If you don't believe me, you can go to the Hufflepuff common room and ask, everyone knows that I went back to my dorm at ten o'clock and didn't come out all night."
"Or you can ask for the portrait hanging in the hallway."
Looking at Kyle, who had a calm face, Filch, who was originally very determined, was also a little shaken at this time.
"I will, come with me."
He leads Kyle to a portrait in the kitchen hallway and says, "You still have a chance to admit it, or ......"
"No, Mr. Filch."
Kyle took the initiative to look at the portrait and asked, "Hello, did you see any Hufflepuffs out on a night tour after curfew last night?" ”
"Night tour? No! The wizard in the portrait said categorically.
"Are you sure?" Filch asked with a grim face.
"Of course." The wizard said, "Last night I had a glaring contest with the lady opposite, and it started at nine o'clock, and if a young wizard passed by, I could see it at a glance." ”
Filch's face was a little ugly.
"The truth is out, Mr. Filch." Kyle laughed, "I'll go back first if it's okay......
By the way, I found out that Lady Loris has lost a bit of weight lately, could it be that Hogwarts hasn't been paid recently? You're withholding its food. ”
Filch's face became even more ugly, as if he had heard that the school was going to hand over the janitor's position to a Dementor.
"I didn't deduct Mrs. Loris's food!" He roared, "Never! ”
"yes......" Kyle shrugged, noncommittal, "but he's lost weight lately, so maybe you should buy him some good dried fish to improve his diet." ”
"Don't bother with ......"
In the past few days, Filch has not caught a person who violated the school rules, which is annoying, but I didn't expect to be deducted the hat of "Mrs. Loris food" early this morning, and Filch was so angry that he was about to burst into flames.
"Of course...... You're right. ”
Kyle didn't look at him, just took out his wand and tapped the barrel.
"Then Mr. Filch, I'll go back first, and I'll see you next time......"
Kyle waved his hand and turned and walked into the hallway.
As the passage door closed again, Filch's voice died out.
There was no one in the common room...... But also, it's only five o'clock, and no one in Hufflepuff gets up so early, and usually this kind of student only shows up in Ravenclaw......
There was no need to sleep anymore, so Kyle simply poured himself a bottle of pick-me-up potion and sat down in an armchair near the fireplace and read a book.
It wasn't until seven o'clock that people began to enter the common room one after another.
……
The first session is a divination lesson.
While most students, including professors, thought of Professor Trelawney as a hogwarts liar, there were also those who thought she was a powerful prophet.
"I thought she was a liar until all the prophecies she made about me came true......"
In the dim and stuffy penthouse room, Mikel said excitedly: "She said I would be away from everyone for a while, but I ended up in the school hospital on the weekend...... That's kind of leaving everyone, right? ”
Mikel was talking about what happened after the Quidditch match, and Madam Pomfrey forced him to spend two days in the school hospital after he was hit on the head by a Bludger.
"She said the same thing to me." Kyle said, "It's just a coincidence. ”
In fact, it's not just them, even Cedric has had bad news about her.
Consciously, Professor Trelawney is indeed an out-and-out liar, but she has a wealth of experience and knows what to do to ensure that the "prophecy" she casually pulls out finally comes true.
A Quidditch player is a good choice.
Quidditch, whether it's training or competition, injuries are inevitable.
So in the first divination class after the start of the school year, almost all Quidditch players were on her list of prophecies.
Professor Trelawney didn't have to do anything, just wait, and when the time came, the prophecy would come true as soon as the player was injured.
Through this method, she has really gained a lot of admirers, such as Mikel.
He joined the team relatively late, and when Professor Trelawney got the news, he temporarily added his name to the list of prophecies.
Coincidentally, this prophecy was said on Friday, and it came true after the game on Saturday.
So Mikel was convinced of this and directly became her big admirer.
Today, Professor Trelawney is still doing her usual thing, presumably because of the drawn-up of a Quidditch match, and her goals are once again on the team.
As she passed Kyle, she walked straight to Kyle, not stopping at all.
Through her previous experience watching matches, she knew that Kyle had never been injured in a match, and the success rate of prophesying about him was too low to be worth considering...... Or is it more appropriate for another person.
She walked over and casually stopped at Mikel's desk and watched as he tossed the planetarium.
"There's something here...... "Professor Trelawney whispered, leaning his face over, "there's something moving...... What is it...... Oh! ”
She suddenly shook her head and sighed, "Honey, if I were you, I would be careful of a person with messy hair...... That's right, it's the first person you think of, and you'd better stay away from him before Easter. ”
Mikel immediately became nervous, and began to look around, carefully looking for the person Professor Trelawney was talking about.
