International students at Hogwarts

Chapter 313 The Calm Before the Storm

The restlessness in the headmaster's room could not affect the revelry in the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor common rooms.The Gryffindor cubs were excited because they found that the boiled duck flew back after flying, and Hufflepuff was purely happy because of picking up the leak.After all, when they learned that Lu Ren had successfully signed up, they had given up hope for Cedric.

As for why there is an extra warrior, that is something that the principals and the big figures in the ministry need to worry about, and it has nothing to do with ordinary students like them.Besides, why couldn't the cup be broken?
The little wizards of Gryffindor prepared a sumptuous supper. Everyone ate, drank, sang and danced, and did not rest until midnight.The immediate consequence of this was that at breakfast time the next day, only half of the Gryffindor tables were filled.

Although the celebration was late last night, Lu Ren still went to the auditorium for breakfast on time.

"I've been taking classes outside this morning, first herbal medicine class, and then protection of magical animals..." Lu Ren took out the timetable from his backpack, looked at the timetable, and complained.Hermione sat next to him, buttering her slice of bread.

"It's okay, I remember that there are two arithmetic and divination classes in the afternoon? Do you want jam?"

"No jam," Lu Ren stretched out his head, took a bite of the buttered bread in Hermione's hand, and was pushed away by Hermione in the next instant—I want to eat it myself—"I really don't understand, haha Why do Leigh and Ron still need to sign up for divination classes. Arithmetic and divination are the courses that can really gain knowledge..."

Hermione agreed with what Lu Ren said, and arithmetic and divination was one of her favorite courses.

"The two of them were afraid of doing mathematical calculations, and then the divination class made them discover loopholes, so they only signed up for the divination class."

"Loophole?" Lu Ren forked a sausage, put it on the plate, and looked at Hermione curiously.

"They figured out that they could get good grades just by making up a bunch of disasters in their homework..."

Lu Ren thought about it, divination seems to be such a virtue...

This year, their herbal class was held in Greenhouse No. [-]. Professor Sprout showed the class a kind of plant, a very ugly plant. The big shiny bulging slugs not only look like slugs, but also feel and behave alike - they are all wriggling slightly!
Professor Sprout told everyone in a cheerful tone that this is Barbo tuber.You need to squeeze it with your hands to collect its pus...

Seeing everyone's disgust, Professor Sprout had to come out and explain: "These pus are extremely valuable, and they are the best medicine for treating stubborn acne."

Lu Ren felt that if the pus spread to the Muggle world, it might be sold for the equivalent of gold.Moreover, these pus still need to be diluted to be effective, and undiluted pus will corrode the skin.

Since it has such a function, the little witches are more careful in their actions, and it seems that many people want to ask Professor Sprout for a bottle after class—even if they don’t need it, they can give it away The people are also wonderful.

The process of squeezing a tuber is disgusting, but also produces a strange sense of satisfaction.When the bulge ruptures, a thick, viscous, yellow-green liquid will be ejected. These liquids also have a pungent gasoline smell, which is disgusting, but it can also bring that kind of curiosity-like satisfaction.Finally, when the get out of class was about to end, they had collected several large bottles of pus.

Accompanied by a low and deep bell from the castle, the first herbal medicine class in the morning came to an end.The young wizards walked across the damp lawn towards Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

As usual, Hagrid stood outside the cabin door, holding the hound Fang Fang in his hand. On the ground beside his feet, there were several open wooden boxes, and there was a strange rattling sound coming from inside. There were also faint explosions.

Many people have an ominous premonition in their hearts.This hunch was confirmed when Hagrid greeted them.

As if they had discussed it, the two professors at Hogwarts both produced textbooks that were not so pleasing to the eye...

"Good morning! You don't want to miss this one - Blast-tailed snails!" Hagrid smiled at Harry and the others, pointing to the box under his feet.

Many people stepped up to take a look and then ran away. The word "disgusting" is the best adjective.

The box contained what appeared to be a large number of shucked lobsters, each about six inches long, all gray and slimy, and with many legs!

There were about a hundred of these in each box, and they crawled on top of each other, giving off a very strong fishy smell.They also shoot sparks from their tails, which allow them to leap forward a short distance.

Lu Ren could only try to hypnotize himself. This kind of reptile might be delicious. After all, lobsters, shrimps, scorpions, and centipedes that look like it all taste good...

"" Hagrid looked very proud: "It was just hatched yesterday! You can raise them yourself! Then you can use it to make a big project!"

"Why do we raise them?" Malfoy said coldly with a straight face.This time, many Gryffindor students were on his side. After all, the snails really couldn't make them feel the slightest favor.

Hagrid seemed stumped by the question.

"Maybe it's delicious?" Lu Ren gave an explanation, but most people didn't buy it.

Hagrid froze for a few seconds, then said that the use of snails would be the content of the next lesson, and today's task was to feed them.

Then the bad class begins.Because Hagrid hadn't raised snails before, he wasn't sure what they liked to eat, so the little wizards could only try strange ingredients like ant eggs, frog livers, and green snakes one by one...

The result: no progress at all, and the little wizards couldn't even find the mouth of the snail.

To make matters worse, from time to time, the tail of the snail would explode and burn the arms of the students.

Not even Hermione could accept such a creature.

"These things, once Hagrid figured out what they like to eat, they'll be six feet long!" said Hermione in an exasperated voice, and the men around him were in full agreement.After all, that was the magical animal that Hagrid was looking forward to!

Are there any animals that Hagrid likes that are less dangerous?

It seems that there is no...

Any animal that he would like to keep as a pet is extremely dangerous, such as dragons, three-headed dogs, hippogriffs, and snails.

"I think the smartest thing to do is to kill the snails before they attack us."

I really want to imagine that Hermione said this sentence.
