The Lonely Dragon of Hogwarts

It all happened so fast.

It was so fast that Draco and the centaur almost didn't realize what was happening. The originally ferocious Acromantula was completely defeated and lost its fighting ability.

After a while, Draco finally reacted.

He excitedly rushed towards John and said:

"John! The two of us are so powerful! We can even defeat this kind of monster!"

John glared at Draco and said:

"What do you mean we two are so awesome? Does this matter have anything to do with you?"

"How can you say that? Didn't I participate in the war?" Draco said with a serious face, "I risked my life to save you. You must remember this kindness!"

"Ah, yes, yes! Even if you cast a few prank spells that are not enough to tickle people from such a distance, you are joining the war. Do you have a brother named Kakuzu?"

While John was talking, he stepped forward and hit the Acromantula on the head one after another with cutting spells for follow-up.

Hearing this, Draco didn't understand what 'Kakuzu' meant, but he still said without blushing:

"So what? After all, I still participated in the war, but it was you. What magic did you use to defeat this monster?"

John's spell-casting movement stagnated, and he remained silent and did not answer.

Because what he just used was actually a prank curse - the Upside Down Golden Bell.

This may seem bizarre, but it actually makes sense.

After all, even an adult can hang an upside-down golden clock directly, and its sheer strength can weigh several hundred kilograms at least.

Although this kind of strength cannot lift a huge creature like the Acromantula completely, it is still easy to break a leg by turning the joint.

Shaking his head, John pretended not to hear the question and continued his attack. After completely killing the Acromantula, he began to dissect the opponent's remains.

In a short time, John drained the Acromantula's venom sac and collected about 4 ounces of venom.

This Acromantula venom is very valuable, selling for up to 5 galleons per ounce in Diagon Alley!

In other words, this Acromantula alone provided John with 20 galleons, which was almost one-third of his sales with the centaurs this afternoon.

To be honest, this harvest is already very good, but John is a little dissatisfied.

After all, this is an Acromantula the size of an adult horse. Based on its size, it must have at least a pint (20 ounces) of venom in its body.

The current amount is really too little.

"It's pretty good that a hibernating Acromantula can have so much venom."

The centaur on the side seemed to be aware of John's thoughts, and said with a chuckle, "But boy, I advise you not to be so arrogant that you underestimate the Acromantula just because of this victory. Such a dangerous creature. If they are in their prime, or in a non-winter environment, their speed will be so fast that you can't even react. The most important thing is that these monsters live in groups!"

"You mean, there are a lot of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest?" John said thoughtfully.

"Far more than you think," the centaur nodded. "Their lairs, large and small, are almost densely packed throughout the deep forbidden forest, and there are also some in the shallow forbidden forest. I think you should be aware of this." ?”

John nodded, his expression a little complicated.

He just estimated the areas of the Deep Forbidden Forest and the Shallow Forbidden Forest. He could find a place to set up a stall at the junction of the two and he would be right above the Acromantula's nest.

This is enough to show how dense the Acromantula nests are in the Forbidden Forest.

I have to say, this is indeed dangerous.

But danger also represents gain.

You must know that an Acromantula, no matter how weak it is, can still have three to four ounces of venom.

What if we kill a few more?

That's a lot of galleons!

"You don't have to worry too much. Those who can be squeezed out of the deep forbidden forest to build nests are basically old, weak and sick Acromantulas." The centaur continued, "The lethality of these Acromantulas is not that strong. , and our centaurs tribe will clean them up regularly."

"Yeah, then I understand." John said, "My name is John Shafiq, who is you?"

"Firenz, you can call me Firenze."

"Nice to meet you, Mr. Firenze."

"Me too, Mr. Shafiq."

After saying that, the two shook hands.

Seeing Draco picking up the limbs of the Acromantula next to him, he curled his lips and said:

"Okay, John, you don't have to be so respectful to the horseman. He is just an arrogant maniac! You didn't see how confident and arrogant he was before, and you said that he has been fighting giant monsters for decades. How can he deal with this? It's easy to grow monsters.

The results of it?Before it could take action, the monster was eliminated by us! "

As soon as he said this, Firenze's expression instantly became extremely embarrassed.

He stretched out his hand to scratch his cheek and said with some shame:

"The main reason is that Mr. Shafik is too strong. You are definitely the most talented little wizard I have ever seen."

"You don't need to repeat this. Everyone in Hogwarts knows that John is a genius!"

Draco raised his head and said proudly.

Then he picked up a leg of the Acromantula and said excitedly:

"John, let's take this back as a trophy! Ha! Those people in the school will definitely be scared to death!"

John nodded indifferently and walked out of the cave.

He still had a good impression of this centaur.

After all, the other person's appearance is indeed very good, and he is almost as handsome as him.

If given the chance, John wouldn't mind chatting with him for a while and sharing his experiences as a handsome guy.

Unfortunately, the sun has already set now.

Moreover, John currently does not have any alchemy or magic props that can preserve potion materials for a long time. In order to prevent active materials such as Acromantula venom from deteriorating, he must return to the castle quickly.

Firenze was not surprised by John's departure. He waved at John and said:

"Farewell, mighty Mr. Shafiq, I will divine for you, and the stars will light your way forward!"

John also waved his hand and said goodbye.

Then he took Draco towards the brightly lit castle.

Draco remained highly excited along the way, and even the heavy Acromantula's long legs could not suppress his excitement.

He kept talking for a while about how to show everyone the trophies this time and where to hang this long leg to maximize their power.

While talking, he hummed a song intermittently, as if he was preparing to compose another "Song of the Acromantula Killer".

This left John speechless.

He wasn't afraid that Draco would reveal their secret trip to the Forbidden Forest if he came back with a spider leg.

After all, as long as he wasn't caught in the Forbidden Forest, he would have plenty of excuses to excuse himself.

He simply didn't understand Draco's behavior.

What's the point of pretending to be a beta with others over something like this?

I can't make half a gold galleon.

The right thing to do is to make a fortune silently.

Just like him, just from a trip to the Forbidden Forest, together with the centaur trade and Acromantula venom, he almost made more than 90 Galleons.

Will he go and publicize this matter everywhere?

of course not!

At most, he would just give Michelle another dozen or twenty galleons as pocket money.

Of course, the rest should be replaced with potions and drank to increase magic talents!

Thinking of this, the corners of John's mouth slowly rose.

Facing the moonlight, the two teenagers returned to Hogwarts Castle noisily.

Draco couldn't wait to carry the Acromantula's long legs and ran to brag, while John went to Snape's office, planning to borrow the tools there to deal with the Acromantula venom.

However, as soon as he opened the stone door of the office, he suddenly smelled the smell of blood.
