Hogwarts Poisoned Egg

After testing, Egger discovered that he had indeed discovered some problems with the snails.

For example, it smells really good

The meat is definitely edible. When Egg came to the magical world, he had never seen a magical animal that he couldn't eat. What's more, the snails were the offspring of Hagrid's cross between a manticore and a fire crab. In a sense, Said, this is more timeless than Mr. Yuan’s hybrid rice.

Although the Sphinx is a 5x level creature and extremely dangerous, its huge scorpion tail is a rare delicacy, not to mention fire crabs.

"Xia used vinegar and wine to eliminate the fishy smell, and removed the fishy tendons on the back, and then soft-fried, grilled and stewed the three fried snails respectively. Are you satisfied with Master Egger?" The elf Xia stood obediently. Behind Iger, Iger was chewing a soft fried-ended snail in his mouth and nodded.

"Except that the stewed soup is not very tasty, it is delicious whether fried or roasted. Maybe this thing is not suitable for making soup." Egg said softly.

He didn't let the elf try the poison, but chose to taste it himself. Firstly, he had enough potions on him, and secondly, if there were any problems, he could show up at the infirmary as soon as possible.

Egg looked at the blast-ended snail in front of him and nodded slightly. This can be considered a good thing Hagrid did unintentionally.

The newly cultivated snails are only about the size of a palm, and they don’t have a thick shell yet. The meat is very fresh, maybe because of the fire crab inheritance, and it also has a bit of muscle, maybe because of the manticore gene. .

All in all, from Egger’s point of view, it tastes pretty good.

To put it bluntly, it actually feels similar to lobster, but it is a little chewier and has more meat, although it looks disgusting before being cooked.

But the disgusting thing is actually just because of the scarred appearance. In Eger's opinion, as long as it tastes good, other things are not unacceptable.

So much so that Egg immediately caught a few more and took them to the Ministry of Magic to register this new magical creature.

However, in view of the dangers of this thing when it grows up, only pups were registered in the end, that is, only bomb-tailed snails under two months old are allowed to be legally cultured, and bomb-tailed snails older than two months must be destroyed manually.

There was no other reason. Officials from the Department of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic told Egger after research that this thing grew too fast and was dangerous between a manticore and a fire crab.

Egger conveyed these words to Hagrid unchanged. Although it was a pity, Hagrid still followed Egger's advice.

"How about Egg, have you banned those disgusting things?" During dinner, a group of students gathered around Egg. Malfoy hurried over from a distance and asked impatiently.

"No, the cubs were finally classified as legally bred." Egger shook his head.

A group of dogs suddenly sighed.

"But it's not without gain." Egg said, clapped his hands lightly, and a plate of charcoal-grilled fried-tailed snails suddenly appeared on the plate in front of him: "You may not know, but this thing tastes great, just like Eating lobster”

With that said, Ige started eating by himself, and a group of students around him suddenly swallowed.

Xia's craftsmanship is very good, and the smell of charcoal grilling spreads in an instant.

"Let me try it." Ron was always the one who couldn't help but be curious, so he immediately picked up one and tasted it.

"How does it taste?" Fred looked at Ron expectantly.

"It smells so good." Ron swallowed the snail in his hand in two or three mouthfuls.

"I think we can listen to Hagrid's lessons carefully, take care of this little thing for a week, and then send it to the kitchen and tell Hagrid that it was accidentally raised to death, so that Hagrid can't wait to breed the next batch. George rolled his eyes and suggested.

"Good idea, I agree." Iger clapped his hands.

"Oh, I don't think so. Hagrid would be heartbroken if he knew." Hermione shook her head.

"If we don't eat and have to take care of these ugly monsters, we will die of sadness." Harry immediately voted in favor.

You Mengyu said nothing, holding the fried-tailed snail in her hand and eating it deliciously.

Draco picked up a red-hot snail and stuffed it into his mouth after a moment's hesitation. Then his eyes lit up and he couldn't help but sniff: "Is this thing legally cultivated?"

"The cost is too high. Breeding is not recommended." Iger shook his head: "Hagrid used a manticore and sixty fire crabs to breed these one hundred, and you have also seen this thing. , has thorns on its body, its tail can explode, and it can also kill each other, just give it a try, don’t let your dad work hard."

"After finishing this batch, just tell Hagrid that those fried-tailed snails have died long ago." Egger shook his head: "With Hagrid's obsession with these magical animals, sooner or later there will be the next batch of ingredients."

People: ""

Wow, the devil is indeed a devil

The next two days were uneventful, with no particularly interesting stories or incidents, unless you count Neville's burning of the cauldron in potions class. Of course, Egger was already used to this kind of thing.

It's just that Neville was not very used to being imprisoned by Snape as usual.

Recently, Snape's confinement has turned into disemboweling a large bucket of horned toads, which Neville and Iger ate. Unfortunately, the dead toads were not owned by Neville, but were all thrown into a pile by Snape. jar

"In the first week of school every year, Severus will act as if he has been constipated for a week, with vitriol written all over his face and hatred in his eyes." During breakfast, Egger flipped through the newspaper leisurely and said with a chuckle. .

"Of course, it seems that he is very disappointed when Elsa becomes the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor." Harry nodded: "He has not been able to get this job for four consecutive years."

"More than four years" Iger sneered: "He has been teaching Potions class since I was eight years old."

"Fortunately, he doesn't seem too dissatisfied with Elsa." Hermione whispered.

"In fact, what if he is dissatisfied? His girlfriend lives in Aisha's house, and his daughter also lives in Aisha's house. How dare he be dissatisfied?" Iger gloated and smiled.

A group of students were all eagerly looking forward to Elsa's first class. Before the bell rang, the kids filed into the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.

Egger sat on the chair in the first row of the class as he should, with Hermione beside him.

"Dark Arts Self-Defense Guide" Hermione muttered and took out a magic book, while Egg on the side silently blew a kiss to Elsa on the stage.

Elsa looked like she wanted to laugh, but held it back

Still in class, be serious.

And the relationship between the two is only vaguely understood by a few people in a small circle. In this Europe, which is extremely resistant to teacher-student romance, if it is exposed, it will be very difficult for Iger.

It doesn't seem to be much of a problem

At most, he's just being called a scumbag.

But Aisha will inevitably be criticized by others, which is something Iger doesn't want to see.

"Put these things away." Aisha looked at the textbooks in front of the students and chuckled: "If you remember Egg's course, then you should know that these things are useless."
