Chapter 422: Generous Acromantula
Chapter 422 The Generous Acromantula
With full harvest, Kyle left the Forbidden Forest with satisfaction.
A total of nineteen pints of Acromantula venom, which converted to one thousand nine hundred galleons. The bit of Tebbo warthog leg he gave Lu Wei came back in an instant, and it was multiplied hundreds of times.
Of course, there was not so much originally, but the old spider realized that his behavior of going back on his word was very shameless, so he took the initiative to ask for more money.
It's not that it doesn't want to give more, it's mainly because the Acromantula's production capacity is so high. The entire nest, from Aragog himself to the little spiders with bigger fingers, were all squeezed dry, and then it could barely make up nineteen Pints of venom.
When Kyle left, the spiders couldn't even stand up and were lying on the ground as if they had drunk fake wine.
Thinking about that scene, Kyle was quite moved. He decided that after returning, he would use the shortest possible time to prepare a batch of spider tonics and send them to Hagrid, asking him to deliver them to the Acromantula.
I hope those tonics can help them recover as soon as possible... After all, under normal circumstances, the process of recovering venom from Acromantulas is quite slow.
Kyle walked into the castle in a happy mood, not noticing a pair of eyes staring at him in the dark.
“Aha!”
Filch jumped out from a corner and said sullenly: "You stayed up all night, I must have caught you!"
“I’m sorry, Mr. Filch, I don’t understand what you’re talking about.”
Even though he was taken aback, Kyle said calmly: "I just got up early and went for a walk outside."
"Do you think I will believe your lies?" Filch sneered: "It's only five o'clock, how could any little wizard get up so early."
"Maybe I went to bed early last night." Kyle said, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Hufflepuff common room and ask. Everyone knows that I went back to the dormitory at ten o'clock, and stayed there all day. He didn't come out again at night.
“Or you can ask the portrait hanging in the corridor.”
Looking at Kyle who looked calm, Filch, who was still very determined at first, was a little shaken at this time.
“I will, follow me.”
He took Kyle to a portrait in the kitchen corridor and said: "Now you still have a chance to admit it, otherwise..."
“No, that’s not necessary, Mr. Filch.”
Kyle took the initiative to look at the portrait and asked, "Hello, did you see any Hufflepuffs out for a night out after the curfew last night?"
“Night travel? No!” the wizard in the portrait said firmly.
“Are you sure?” Filch asked gloomily.
"Of course." said the wizard, "I was having a staring contest with the lady opposite last night. It started at nine o'clock. If there is a little wizard passing by here, I can see it at a glance."
Filch looked a little ugly.
"The truth is out, Mr. Filch." Kyle smiled: "If nothing happens, I will go back first...
By the way, I noticed that Mrs. Norris has lost a little weight recently. Could it be that Hogwarts has not paid salaries recently? You actually deprived it of food. "
Filch's face turned even darker, as if he heard that the school was going to hand over the position of janitor to a dementor.
"I didn't deprive Mrs. Norris of food!" he roared. "Never!"
"Yeah..." Kyle shrugged, noncommittal, "But it has really lost weight recently. Maybe you should buy it some good dried fish and improve its food."
“No need to worry about it…”
In the past few days, Filch had not caught anyone who violated the school rules. He was already annoyed. Unexpectedly, he was accused of "stealing Mrs. Norris' food" early this morning. Filch was so angry that he could Breathing out fire.
“Of course... you are right.”
Kyle didn't look at him, just took out his wand and tapped the barrel. "Then Mr. Filch, I will go back first. See you next time..."
Kyle waved his hand, turned and walked into the passage.
As the passage door closed again, Filch's voice disappeared.
There is no one in the common room... But again, it is only five o'clock, and no one in Hufflepuff will get up so early. Usually, this kind of students only appear in Ravenclaw...
There was no need to sleep anymore. Kyle simply poured himself a bottle of refreshing potion, sat on the armchair closest to the fireplace and read a book.
It wasn’t until seven o’clock that people began to enter the common room one after another.
…
The first session is a divination class.
Although in the eyes of most students, including professors, Professor Trelawney is a liar who eats and drinks in Hogwarts, some people also think that she is a very powerful prophet.
"I thought she was a liar, until all the predictions she made about me came true..."
In the dark and stuffy room on the top floor, Mikel said excitedly: "She said before that I would leave everyone for a while, but I ended up being admitted to the campus hospital during the weekend... This can be considered leaving everyone, right!"
Mikel was talking about what happened after the Quidditch match. Because he was hit on the head by a Bludger, Madam Pomfrey forced him to stay in the school hospital for two days.
"She said the same thing to me," Kyle said. "It's just a coincidence."
In fact, not only them, but also Cedric had received bad news about her.
While she is conscious, Professor Trelawney is indeed an out-and-out liar, but she has rich experience and knows what to do to make the "prophecy" she casually pulls out finally come true.
Quidditch players are a good choice.
In Quidditch, whether it is training or playing, injuries are inevitable.
So in the first divination class after the school started, almost all the Quidditch players were on her prophecy list.
Professor Trelawney doesn’t need to do anything, she just needs to wait. Once the player is injured, the prophecy will naturally come true.
Through this method, she really gained a lot of admirers, such as Mikel.
He joined the team relatively late. After Professor Trelawney got the news, he temporarily added his name to the prophecy list.
What a coincidence that this prophecy was made on Friday, and it came true after the game on Saturday.
So Mikel was convinced of this and directly became her loyal admirer.
Today, Professor Trelawney still maintains her usual demeanor, probably because the Quidditch match is approaching, and her goal is once again focused on the team members.
When passing by Kyle, she walked straight over without stopping at all.
Through previous experience of watching games, she knew very well that Kyle had never been injured in a game, and the success rate of predicting him was too low to be worth considering... Or another person would be more suitable.
She walked over and stopped in front of Mikel's desk inadvertently, watching him turn the astrology device.
"There's something here..." Professor Trelawney said softly, leaning her face closer, "There's something moving... What is it... Oh!"
She suddenly shook her head and sighed: "Dear, if I were you, I would be careful about a person with messy hair... Yes, that's the first person you think of. You'd better stay away from him before Easter. a little."
Mikel immediately became nervous and began to look around, carefully searching for who the person Professor Trelawney was talking about was.
