fall at hogwarts

Chapter 205

Across the gravel road from the school, Ed came to Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid was now chopping up a pig's bone on a stump with a large axe.

Whenever the ax in Hagrid's hand fell, pieces of meat or bones would splash out, and Fang, who had been waiting for a long time, would run out and eat the pieces of meat that flew out.

"Wang Wang Wang!!"

Seeing Ed coming, Yaya dropped the meat around his mouth, and rushed towards Ed, wagging his tail, stretched out his long tongue and began to crawl and lick, saliva sticking to Ed's face.

"It seems that you are welcomed by Yaya as always, so I have to think about whether it's time to change his owner."

Seeing Ed coming, Hagrid hastily chopped up the pork bones like chopping vegetables.The bones are then thrown into a large bucket.

Pushing away his enthusiastic teeth, Ed wiped his face with a towel and asked Hagrid, "What are you doing?"

"This?" Hagrid took out another slaughtered pig from the dirty cloth bag next to it, threw it on the stake, and split the pig in the middle with an axe:

"Recently, the offspring of Aragog eat more, and if there is not enough food, they will expand their territory.

You know, that would have serious consequences for other creatures. "

While speaking, Hagrid was like a skilled cook, dividing a pig into dozens of pieces and throwing them into the bucket.

"Aww - woof!"

Yaya, who was originally circling around Ed, suddenly fell forward to the ground, exposing his fangs, posing in an attacking posture, and uttered warning calls to the woods not far away.

"Oh? Are you here so early?"

Hagrid just took out another pig, and then looked in the direction of Fang's roar with Ed.

"what is that?"

Ed had the feeling that there was a creepy creature there, something he had once: "Spider?"

"That's right." Hagrid threw the ax aside, "Ed, take it easy, don't provoke them, they're sensitive."

Oh, I'm still sensitive.Just because I am easy to talk, so I have to give in!

When Fang saw the spider coming, he tucked his tail between his legs and ran away, hiding in Hagrid's hut.

"It's a real little dork, isn't it?"

Hagrid knew Fang Fang's character, he was a coward, but he had a good nose.

"ok, I get it."

Ed stood aside, watching a few spiders the size of a car crawl over, spit out spider silk, entangled the bucket, and finally dragged the bucket away.

After the big spider took the meat away, Ed found that there were still a few smaller ones following.

Among them, a spider looked at the pork in Hagrid's hand and said, "Okay, I'll give it all to you." Hagrid threw the pork to the spider.

Several smaller spiders shared the piece of meat on the spot.

Looking at their eating patterns, Ed once wondered whether these creatures that looked like spiders were spiders?
The spider's stomach is a sucking stomach, in other words, it needs to use powerful stomach muscles to suck in food. Spiders have not yet evolved chewing mouthparts.

Therefore, it can only rely on the lytic enzymes in the venom to dissolve insects and use straw-like mouthparts to suck insect body fluids
That is to say, the digestive system of the dog determines that it can only eat liquid food.

Usually it will inject digestive juice venom into the prey after it captures the prey, and then suck it back.

And these spiders in front of them actually started to bite the meat, is it because they are big and can be swallowed raw?

Ed glanced at Hagrid, thinking about whether he would grab a few spiders and study them when Hagrid couldn't see them.

"They're so cute, like little urchins."

Hagrid looked at the spiders and smiled with a maternal brilliance.

When Ed heard Hagrid's words, he turned his head to look at the spiders. One of them bit off the other's leg with its pincers because it was fighting for food.

cute?
Perhaps from the perspective of a pure biologist, there may be some joy in seeing animals with vigorous vitality.

But... the Eight-eyed Demon Spider is considered an invasive species, right?

Therefore, Ed hates these spiders more than he likes them.

After the spider left completely, Hagrid wiped his hands clean with the cloth bag of meat: "I heard that you are sick? Why do you still look very energetic?"

"I just don't want to go to Lockhart's class." Ed moved his position calmly, so that Hagrid couldn't pat himself on the shoulder: "Don't say it."

"Hahaha, I knew it!" Hagrid's laughter almost pierced through the clouds, and he replied to Ed: "Don't worry, I will definitely keep it a secret.

To be honest, if I was still a student, I wouldn't go to his class.He is just so annoying. "

"Well, it's really annoying." Ed nodded, "I'll go to the Forbidden Forest later, do you want to go with me?"

Hearing that Ed was about to enter the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid looked around vigilantly, and after finding no one around, he whispered, "The Forbidden Forest? It's not safe in there recently, and the people and horses are considering whether to relocate recently."

"what happened?"

"Because the Ministry of Magic wants to establish a sanctuary for magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, many magical animals from other places have been driven here.

The unicorns and a few and the Hebrides black dragons have destroyed a good chunk of the forest.However, because many Narius tree demons came, there was no need to worry about the complete destruction of the Forbidden Forest.

Although you have the protection of the phoenix, I still suggest you to be careful. "

The dryad is a magical creature, known as the healer of the forest, who can consume magic power to make the trees grow quickly.However, fast-growing trees will not bear fruit for three years.

"understood."

Ed waved and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

As Hagrid said, there are many strange magical animals in the Forbidden Forest.For example, the few ball-flying birds that are now gathering at Ed's feet looking for grains of wheat.

The ball escape bird is native to Mauritius, and is called "the dodo bird" by Muggles.It is known for its extraordinary means of escaping danger.It disappears without a trace and emerges from another place without any effort.

One of the small ball birds jumped and tried to get close, but Ed's feet were already crowded.There was only a flash, appeared in midair, fluttered its wings in the air, and almost squeezed Nan Wan on Ed's shoulder when it fell.

Ed quickly caught it. The little guy was flustered at first, but when he realized that he hadn't landed on the ground, he opened his eyes and called Ed, "Do~Do~".

Scratching this little guy's neck, he would comfortably close his eyes.After putting the little ball bird on the ground, it screamed endlessly.

The other birds that had not been scratched by Ed also jumped excitedly, probably wanting Ed to tickle them too.

"I still have something to do, I will play with you in the future."

Ed took a handful of barley kernels from his pocket and sprinkled them on the ground, then left.

……

"Nan Wan, why can't I understand the bird language spoken by Qiu Dunniao?"

Nan Wan rolled her eyes at Ed: "Can Mandarin and Cantonese be the same?"
