Chapter 198 Windfall
After the semester started, the professors also relaxed a lot in the inspection of the library and night tours, because they had to correct homework, so they naturally had no time to go to the library at night.
That night, Kyle, who had been honest for two weeks, took the Marauder's Map and couldn't wait to open the door of the library.
The new bookshelf in the box is ready, it can't be empty all the time, Kyle plans to fill it up for the rest of the semester.
Although this task is a bit difficult, as long as he sleeps less for an hour a day and works a little harder, he should still be able to complete it.
Kyle took his wand and came to the restricted area with ease.
It's just that this time he didn't go to the shelf to pick up the books in the order before, but carefully identified the name of each book, and only when he saw what he needed, he would pull it out and put it aside.
After more than half an hour, Kyle found three books in total, and all of them were related to basilisks.
"Deadly Sight"
"Medieval Exploration: Those Ancient Species That Are Gradually Disappearing"
How to Make a Rooster Lay Eggs
But there seems to be something strange mixed in here.
Kyle held the last book with a black cover, which was not much thicker than a notebook, and wondered for a while how this thing got mixed into the restricted area.
But Newt and Hagrid would probably like this book very much, so they could copy it now and give it to them as Christmas presents next year.
Because I haven't come here for a night tour for a long time, and I read a lot of books this time, Kyle stayed in the library until dawn before leaving.
In the next few days, he returned to the busy state before the holiday.
Quidditch practice started again.
Fortunately, Harris' requirements for them are not as strict as other teams. Even if the game is approaching, it is still only regular training three times a week.
In contrast, Gryffindor is different. In order to be able to play the next game, Wood has reached the point of frenzy, and he will train almost every afternoon.
Even in the continuous rainy days after the heavy snow, Kyle can see them on the Quidditch pitch.
Fred and George complained to them more than once, saying that Wood was becoming a training freak, regardless of their lives.
And Fred also said that if this continues, they will all be admitted to the school hospital before the game.
However, Kyle has reason to suspect that they are playing tricks, after all, the next game is the match between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.
In addition to Quidditch training, Kyle will also find time to go to Hagrid's hut on weekends.
Because he found that ever since Hagrid began to pay attention to the magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, there were always various surprises in his hut.
"Here you are, Kyle, the unicorn tail."
In the house, Hagrid poured a cup of tea for Kyle and gave him a small bag, "I remember you like these things, so I collected some for you, and they all fall off naturally."
Kyle took the bag, opened it and took a look... There were more than a dozen long silver hairs inside, and the appearance was perfect.
"So many..." Kyle said in surprise, "Is this what you picked up recently?"
Unicorns don't like to shed hair like swallowtail dogs, especially tail hair... If there is no wizard intervention, it will take about half a year to shed one hair.
I didn't expect Hagrid to pick up so many in a few weeks. Could it be that there is still a unicorn population in the Forbidden Forest?
"Most of them are left over from before." Hagrid put the copper pot on the stove, and said casually, "I originally wanted to weave them into mats, but the color of this kind of tail hair is too bright, and it doesn't look good when mixed together." Looks good, I picked them all out."
"Originally there were more, but I didn't find them. The rest are all here, and I just give them to you together."
"Okay..." Kyle twitched the corner of his mouth.
It can only be said that Hagrid is worthy of it, and it is fine to use unicorn hair to weave the cushions, but he still thinks the tail hair is too bright, and he has gained experience.
"By the way Kyle..."
At this time, Hagrid suddenly said with some coyness: "The spider tonic that I asked you before...how is it.
Of course, I don't mean to urge you, I'm just curious... yes, I'm curious to ask. "
"Almost." Kyle thought for a while and said, "I did a test on Lee Jordan's marsupial spider, and the effect was pretty good.
Next, you only need to add eight-leaf flowers, but this kind of plant is rare, and it will take two weeks to deliver it from Diagon Alley. "
Eight-leaf flower is a very fragile material, which is only useful when it is the freshest, and it also has strict requirements on the growth environment. Improper light and temperature may cause it to wither quickly.
Therefore, those potion shops usually don't prepare stocks in the store, they usually make reservations, when they are needed, and when they are picked.
Of course, its price is not cheap, one plant costs 29 galleons, and you have to pay first, and you don't accept any form of return.
Still, Kyle placed the order without hesitation.
Not to mention the dozen or so unicorn tail hairs now, even compared to the nearly two pints of acromander venom that Hagrid gave before, these are small money.
"Eight-leaved flowers..." Hagrid thought for a while and asked, "Is it the kind of plant with eight leaves, purple in the middle, and yellow or red outside.
"That's right, when they mature, the petals will turn from red to yellow." Kyle said, "Is there such a plant in the Forbidden Forest?"
"That's right." Hagrid nodded and said, "I only saw it yesterday when I was patrolling the Forbidden Forest, and it's near the place where the Unicorns live."
"Can you take me there?" Kyle asked expectantly, "I promise not to run around."
"No!" Hagrid refused without hesitation.
The unicorn lived deep in the Forbidden Forest, where it was too dangerous for him to allow Kyle to go there.
"I can bring it to you in a few days if you need it," said Hagrid.
"Yes, of course." Kyle nodded again and again: "But when you go to collect those eight-leaf flowers, you'd better dig them out together with the soil. The more soil the better, and remember to write me a letter in advance, I will Waiting for you here at the cabin."
Hagrid nodded, and took Kyle's words seriously.
"Dig together with the soil, no problem, by the way, eight...cough cough, do you still need spider venom?"
"What you gave before is enough." Kyle shook his head and said.
Although Hagrid himself may not mind, Kyle is also embarrassed to let him keep pulling the wool.
Moreover, the venom of the acromantia is not often used, a pint is enough for him to use until graduation.
After the semester started, the professors also relaxed a lot in the inspection of the library and night tours, because they had to correct homework, so they naturally had no time to go to the library at night.
