Chapter 293 Helga’s Feast and Les’s Alertness

For the unicorn in the Forbidden Forest, today was a very different day.

As a sacred and pure race, unicorns are often missed by wizards because they are full of treasures.

The female unicorn anchored by Hufflepuff is considered to be the most well-informed among the unicorns. It knew that some dark wizards coveted their blood, and it also knew that the horn on its forehead was valuable. It had even heard rumors that their tail hairs could be exchanged for money with wizards. But this is the first time it has seen a guy who covets the animal milk it produces!

It's so strange!

The unicorn shook his body uneasily, trying hard to shrink his belly, looking very reluctant.

Hufflepuff's actions were repeatedly frustrated due to the unicorn's lack of cooperation. She raised her hand and patted the unicorn's back gently to comfort it.

"Hey, I just want a little milk, just a little. I promise not to squeeze too much!" Hufflepuff's voice was soft, calming the unicorn down like magic.

It stared with a pair of big, watery eyes, as if judging whether what Hufflepuff said was true or false.

Seeing that his words had an effect, Hufflepuff immediately continued to comfort you: "I will not hurt you. What beautiful creatures you are. You are the most beautiful creatures in the Forbidden Forest——"

The unicorn blinked: The guy in front of him doesn't seem to be hostile at all?

Unicorns have extremely keen intuition about good and evil. After carefully observing Hufflepuff for a while, she gained the unicorn's trust.

"Good baby, good baby~" Although the unicorn in front of her had already given birth to a cub, Helga still gave birth to a baby on the left and cried "Baby" on the right, making it particularly happy.

"I really just want to taste some animal milk. I won't take it from you for nothing. I will definitely give you satisfactory compensation..." Hufflepuff stroked the unicorn's back and felt happy for it. The restraints on the limbs were released.

The unicorn was moved by Helga's sincerity. It relaxed completely and its bulging belly drooped, thus agreeing to Helga's request.

Helga was overjoyed to see the unicorn give in. She immediately took out a clean glass jar from her arms, and with a tap of the wand, the glass jar became more than ten times larger and turned into a small glass bucket.

Helga squatted in front of the unicorn's belly and squeezed the beast's milk with a very skilled technique.

However, Hufflepuff was not polite to the unicorn. He said it was just "a little", but actually squeezed a full can before he stopped.

Weighing the heavy jar in her hand, Helga's face showed the joy of a good harvest. When she turned her head, she saw the unicorn looking at her with pitiful eyes, obviously dissatisfied with Helga's "little": if she squeezed so much, what would her child eat?

The unicorn cub huddled next to its mother also had the courage to bark at Hufflepuff twice to convey her displeasure.

"I told you, I won't treat you badly." Hufflepuff took out a jar of honey from his sleeve, put it in front of the unicorn, and then took out a lot of carrots, pumpkins, etc. from the basket like magic. vegetable. It's a little compensation for the unicorn.

After putting down the "nutrition", Hufflepuff left the forest meadow, and she even waved goodbye to the unicorns before leaving.

Hufflepuff, who thinks she has a good relationship with unicorns, feels that she should be able to get a stable supply of unicorn milk in the future.

Hufflepuff walked towards the outside of the Forbidden Forest with the joy of harvest. She had already begun to figure out what to do with the animal milk - it would be too wasteful to use some of it to make cheese and make the rest into yogurt. It would be too wasteful to cook it and drink it directly.

Suddenly, there was a "click-click" sound in the surrounding woods.

Hufflepuff stopped, a little confused: this was the first time she heard such a sound. The second she stopped, a huge spider jumped down from the tree towards her.

This was a perfect hunt. The spider's timing was extremely precise and its attack was very decisive. The only problem was that it chose the wrong target.

Hufflepuff just turned sideways slightly to dodge the spider's inevitable blow, and then pointed his wand, and the spider was unable to move.

"It's a species I've never seen before." Hufflepuff took a few steps closer and carefully observed the Acromantula in front of him.

The appearance of the Acromantula was terrifying, and ordinary people would be frightened out of their wits just by seeing it. However, Hufflepuff did not waver at all, and instead poked the spider's body.

"I heard that some Muggles cook with spiders. Although the spider in front of me is a bit bigger, it is still a spider..." Hufflepuff looked at the big spider in front of him thoughtfully.

First, you need to confirm whether its meat is poisonous.

Hufflepuff quickly removed one of the spider legs and looked at the crystal white tender meat under the carapace. She thought that this thing was most likely non-toxic.

Helga, who had the antidote with her, decided to try it immediately.

She took out a silver knife, cut a piece of meat from the cross section and put it in her mouth to chew. After chewing it twice, Hufflepuff's eyes lit up: This thing tastes quite good, crisp, tender and sweet, somewhat similar to lobster, and more importantly, it is completely non-toxic!

The greatly encouraged Hufflepuff quickly dismantled the Acromantula in front of him into parts, and unfortunately found that only the meat on the legs was clean, and the other parts were not very suitable for ordinary people to eat.

Helga threw away all the inedible parts including the poison sac and left the scene with only a few spider legs.

On the way back, she picked some mushrooms and planned to make a delicious mushroom soup.

After returning to Hogwarts Castle, she didn't even bother to eat lunch and quickly packed up the ingredients she had just harvested today. After all the ingredients were properly stored, Hufflepuff also thought about their recipes.

So at breakfast the next day, Les received an invitation letter.

Daphne, who was sitting next to him, poked her head curiously, wanting to know what was written in the letter.

"Professor White invited me to her office for dinner tonight..." Rice stretched out a hand and rubbed his chin.

"Eh? This is great!" Daphne's eyes were full of envy: "Professor White is the best at food magic, and the dishes she cooks must be delicious."

Daphne was deeply impressed by the food that Ms. White treated her to in the desert. This also made her extremely envious of Les who was invited to dine there.

Les didn't answer. His experience told him that if you don't see the initial appearance of what Helga brings to your mouth, it's best to be vigilant.

He quickly found a good solution: "Daphne, Astoria, do you two want to attend Professor White's dinner party? I think I can take you with me."
