Harry Potter: The Path of Destiny

Hagrid's interest in Blast-Ended Skrewts has never been higher. Since the beginning of the school year, all their Care of Magical Creatures lessons have focused on taking care of Blast-tailed Skrewts, and Nydia feels that they will not be able to see other creatures for a long time. of.

The snails grow very fast, but no one can figure out what they like to eat, but Hagrid no longer cares about this. The growth of the snails makes him very happy.

"Dumbledore asking him to be a professor is simply asking him to raise monsters openly." Looking at the Explosive-tailed Skrewt, which was nearly three inches in size, Draco said with disgust, "Look at how fast they are growing. Who knows how long they will grow?" What will it look like in two months?”

"I guess they are at most the size of a manticore." Michelle showed a worried expression towards the Explosive-Tailed Skrewt for the first time.

"Manticore" Nidia didn't understand where Michelle's conclusion came from, because even Hagrid didn't seem to be sure what size they could grow to.

"Hagrid told me yesterday afternoon that these blast-tailed snails were actually cultivated by him using manticores and fire crabs. So, I guess they can only grow to the size of manticores at most."

"Seriously? Doesn't Hagrid know how dangerous manticores are? These snails are actually their descendants." Nydia looked at the snails in horror, suddenly feeling that they were extremely dangerous.

"I think he chose to breed the Manticore because he knew how dangerous it was," Draco said.

"Actually, it would be pretty good if he only bred one, but this number is too much," Michelle said.

Nidia was speechless. It turned out that Michelle was only worried about the large number of people. "Shouldn't we be worried about the danger of bomb-tailed snails?"

"I believe Hagrid can control them." Michelle said very firmly. Nidia didn't know where she got her confidence. If she knew that the eight-eyed spider Hagrid had tried to kill Can Harry and Ron still trust Hagrid as much as they do now?

At the end of the course, Nydia, after obtaining Hagrid's permission, packed some frog livers originally used to feed the snails and put them in her schoolbag.

Draco looked at Nydia's behavior with some disgust, "Why are you bringing those disgusting things with you?"

Nidia smiled mysteriously, "I brought this to Yiwan."

"Is Yiwan actually eating these?" Draco remembered that during the summer vacation at Malfoy Manor, Yiwan ate the same food as them. He had never seen Yiwan eat raw food.

"Maybe she likes it better if you change the taste occasionally." Nydia smiled proudly at Draco.

Back in the dormitory, Nidia divided the frog liver she brought back into two parts, and then invited Yi Wan and Crookshanks. Crookshanks happily ate the frog liver after sniffing it, while Yi Wan After Wan saw the frog liver, she immediately showed a look of disgust and had no intention of getting close.

"Hagrid told me that kittens and puppies cannot always eat human food, as it is not good for their hair, and animal offal is rich in vitamins, which is good for the animal's body, so I decided to give it to them from now on. You feed the offal, do you think it's okay, Iwan?" Nitya looked at Yiwan with a smile, "Come and eat, look at how happy Crookshanks is eating."

Yiwan looked at Nidia motionless. If she were in human form at this time, her face would definitely be livid.

"You may be a little uncomfortable with changing the food at the beginning, but it doesn't matter. Eat a few more times and you will gradually get used to it," Nidia said. "Yiwan needs to eat more, otherwise she will be hungry at night."

At this time, Michelle suddenly opened the door and walked in. As soon as he saw Nitya, he said excitedly, "Did you see the announcement? They are coming soon?"

"Is the announcement made in the foyer?" Nidia remembered that there was indeed a large group of people surrounding her when she walked into the foyer, but she was in a hurry to go back to the dormitory and did not check what was going on.

"The announcement of the Triwizard Tournament, the student representatives from Beauxbatons and Durmstrang will be here soon, on the evening of the 30th." Michelle said, "All students need to go to the front of the castle by then Gather to greet them.”

"Isn't it only a week?" Nidia suddenly remembered that she had promised Fred and George to brew an age-enhancing potion for them. "It's too bad I completely forgot about it."

"Forgot something?" Michelle asked doubtfully.

Nydia hurriedly dug out the ingredients for making her own potion and walked towards the door of the dormitory, "Tell Draco that I won't go to the library tonight. I'd better tell him myself." Bar"

Before Michelle could figure out what was going on, Nidia had already left the dormitory.

Nidia found an abandoned classroom next to the potions classroom in the basement that was not usually used, and set up two cauldrons in it. She decided to brew Lupin's potion together.

The brewing time of the Wolfsbane potion will be longer, so Nidia decided to prepare the ingredients for the Wolfsbane potion first, and then prepare the ingredients for the age-increasing potion when the potion starts to be brewed.

"Nitya, where are you?" Not long after, Draco's voice came from the double-sided mirror. "Michelle said you won't be coming to the library tonight."

"Oh yes, I'm sorry, I actually forgot about it as soon as I turned around." Nidia patted her head in annoyance, "I'm in the basement now. I need to brew a few potions."

"Which classroom is it in?"

"It's right next to the Potions classroom." Before Nidia could finish her words, the door to the classroom was pushed open. Nidia looked up unexpectedly and saw that the person who came was actually Snape. Nidia quickly interrupted. Opened the link to Draco's double-sided mirror.

"What are you doing here?" Snape glanced at the materials placed in front of Nydia, and then snorted coldly, "It seems that Lupine has been drinking all the crappy potions you brewed in the past few months."

"How do you know?" Nydia looked at Snape in surprise.

"Do you know that you are brewing Wolfsbane potion?" Snape pointed at the materials in front of Nydia and said contemptuously, "Isn't this very obvious?"

"No, no, I'm not talking about that, I'm talking about how do you know that the potion I brewed is defective?" Nydia lowered her head and looked carefully at the materials she prepared. It was indeed the same amount as Snape had prepared before. They're all the same

"Huh, potions can't be brewed just by imitation. When looking at the real thing, you always like to only look at the surface without a deeper understanding." Snape said disdainfully.

Nydia seemed to understand Snape's words, "What is wrong with me?"

"I have no obligation to answer your question." After saying this, Snape turned and left.

Nydia lowered her head and pondered. She only dared to prepare the ingredients before Snape saw that there was a problem with her potion. The mistake must be in the ingredients. Nitya once again compared the materials with the number of materials recorded in her notes, but still found no problem.

Snape said that he only looked at the surface of the problem and lacked thinking. Judging from the feedback given by Lupine, the problem with his potion is that the potency is not strong enough. This is usually caused by a lack of material quantity, but the quantity he prepared is obviously the same as what Snape prepared. Why did he brew it just right, but the one he brewed himself would be less effective? What details did he miss?

Nydia once again tried to brew the wolfsbane potion. This time she lengthened the brewing time, hoping that this would allow the ingredients to be more effective. However, the final potion was not much different from the usual brewed potion. s difference. She wanted to ask Snape immediately for the reason, but she knew that Snape would definitely not tell her if she asked at this time.

Helplessly, it was almost time to turn off the lights, so Nitya had no choice but to drag her tired body back to the dormitory. She found that the food in Yiwan's food bowl must not have decreased, and Yiwan had curled up on the bed and fell asleep. Nidia smiled and said, "It doesn't matter, we have plenty of time, take your time."
