Hogwarts Fantastic Beasts in the Stomach

"Squeak!"

An eight-eyed spider the size of Carlos's hand emerged from the cooking manual, and was caught nimbly by Carlos.

He brushed his slightly curly short hair, and then said in a grand voice: "This is our heavyweight guest today!"

"Miss Eight-Eyed Spider!"

"Ah!" Before Carlos could finish his words, he heard Ron's scream. He sat down on the ground and then took a few steps back.

"Spider!" he screamed. "Get it away."

"Oh, don't be afraid Ron." Carlos walked over holding the eight-eyed spider's calf and said, "Its fangs have been removed by me..."

"Ah!" Ron took a few steps back, then sat down on the ground. His wand was held tremblingly in his hand, waving it around like a troll wielding a giant stick.

"It looks like he's a little afraid of spiders..." Carlos had no choice but to take the spider away when he saw this. He turned to look at Harry, who also had a cold look on his face, and said, "You're not afraid of spiders too, are you?"

"Um..." Harry looked at the palm-sized spider and nodded hesitantly. He was indeed not afraid of spiders... For such a bold spider, he would be lying if he said he was not scared.

"It's okay, it will turn into a delicious dish in a while."

"What?" Ron was stunned, and even Harry couldn't believe it: "You want to give it to..."

"Uh-huh." Carlos nodded naturally: "I have been raising it for a while for this day." He stretched out his finger and flicked the eight-eyed spider's big butt in Ron's frightened eyes.

"Don't worry, according to my research, the taste of the eight-eyed spider won't be too bad."

"Research?" Harry muttered, "How did you do your research?"

"Of course through scientific research and theoretical analysis." Carlos said seriously: "I carefully studied the practices of other spiders."

Well, this is one of the things Carlos did these days. He went to the Hogwarts library and was surprised to find a wilderness survival guide.

Although it is a Muggle book, there are still many small edible insects written in it.

Among them are spiders.

"It tastes crunchy, and it should taste more like potato chips?" Carlos recalled, "Then it should taste spicy, but don't worry, I added a little more salt, so it shouldn't be too spicy. "

"..." Harry was silent. He looked at Ron who looked frightened. He had to say that for the first time, he felt that he should turn around and run away.

"Don't be afraid of Harry." Carlos saw the timidity in Harry's heart, and he quickly said: "According to some wizards' descriptions, eating eight-eyed spiders can enhance your immunity and ability to cast spells."

"Who, who said that?" Ron asked in a trembling tone. He didn't expect that someone had actually tried such a terrible thing... and even concluded its effects.

"Mr. Gerald Lockhart." Carlos nodded and said, "Grandma Tina likes his books very much, and there is one book about the eight-eyed spider."

"So don't worry..." Carlos said, flicking the flapping eight-eyed spider and saying, "The next scene might be a little bloody..." As he said that, he neatly took out a handful of small meals from his pocket. knife, then turned around and shook his arm slightly.

"Crack."

"squeak!"

After making a slightly disgusting sound, Carlos put the processed eight-eyed spider into the water and started cleaning it.

"I have studied the body structure of the eight-eyed spider. I have removed its poison glands. In addition, I have also disposed of the inedible things on its body..."

He turned his head and waved the cleaned eight-eyed spider in front of their eyes and said, "Now just put it in the crucible and cook it."

"Ahem..." Ron couldn't help but bend over and cough as he looked at the disgusting spider corpse. He felt a little nauseous.

Harry didn't seem to be feeling well either. He quickly turned his head and said, "Carlos...you can eat it yourself, just eat it...we'll just watch."

"Oh...it's okay." Carlos threw the spider into the crucible and stirred it gently with a spoon.

"It's a lot, there's enough for each of us..."

"Carlos, Harry, Ron?" A familiar call came, making the three of them stunned for a moment.

"Hermione?" Carlos waved to the girl in the distance.

"Oh my god..." Ron frowned when he looked at Hermione. He muttered and turned his head, but when he turned his head, he saw the disgusting cauldron again.

As a last resort, he chose to look at Hermione.

"What are you doing here?" Ron curled his lips as soon as Hermione opened her mouth. Her tone, which was like asking a question from a parent, made him quite unhappy.

Harry shook his head subconsciously. Hermione's tone reminded him of his aunt.

"We are cooking." Carlos looked indifferent. He pointed to the crucible under him and said, "Do you want to have a taste?"

"Cooking?" Hermione looked confused, and then caught sight of Carlos's cauldron: "Merlin, you actually use the cauldron to cook!"

"Of course." Carlos nodded: "It's a suitable size and easy to hold."

"Perfect kitchen utensil." He said and stirred it with a spoon.

"If Professor Snape knows..." Hermione was interrupted by a pale Ron before she could finish her words: "He won't know unless someone with good intentions informs her."

"Are you..." Hermione looked at the pale Ron and couldn't help but shook her head: "Are you hungry?"

"I didn't!" Ron shook his head and said, "I just..." He stopped talking. He didn't want the girl in front of him to know that he hated spiders.

"My lord, Merlin, it's unbelievable that you hate spiders." Just thinking about what Hermione might say, Ron didn't want to speak.

"Okay, the suspicion should be almost over..." Carlos muttered, scooping up a spoonful of soup with a spoon, and then took a sip.

"Hmm~" Carlos' eyes lit up: "It tastes good!"

"You actually ate it?!" Ron looked at Carlos in shock, and Harry also looked embarrassed.

"Do you want to try it?" Carlos said, taking out a few small bowls from the bag that contained the cauldron, and then filled each bowl with some soup.

On purpose, Carlos also put more spider meat in Hermione's bowl, because Grandma Tina and Grandpa Newt both told him that good things should be given to female classmates.

"I don't have to..." Ron waved his hand to reject Carlos's kindness, while Harry picked up the bowl with a grimace.

Fortunately, Carlos didn't give him any more spider meat... Harry stirred the soup casually and saw only a few fluttering vegetable leaves.

"What kind of meat is this?" Hermione muttered. "It doesn't look like beef."

"This is..." Before Carlos could speak, Ron coughed and said, "This meat can enhance a person's ability to cast spells... and..."

"Is this eight-eyed spider meat?" Hermione's eyes widened, and then she subconsciously moved the bowl further away.

"How come this guy doesn't read Lockhart's books..." Ron curled his lips, then shook his head helplessly.

"Of course." Carlos nodded, then took a mouthful of soup with a spoon and put it into his sleeve.

Luo Lizard wanted to taste these things.

"Does it taste good?" Carlos could feel that Luo Lizard was quite happy, and it seemed that it liked the taste...

Hermione and Harry had no time to pay attention to Carlos's affairs. They looked at each other in confusion at the bowl in front of them.

"Gudong." Harry swallowed, he couldn't keep his mouth shut.

Hermione was also a little bit reluctant to speak. The thought of this thing being a spider before... made her a little nauseous.

But when I think about what Mr. Lockhart said, it can enhance the ability of magic...

Forget it, fight!

Hermione gritted her teeth, lifted the bowl sharply, and drank the soup in one gulp.

The first thing she felt was an inexplicable viscosity, followed by a slightly spicy taste, but it was not unpleasant to drink. On the contrary, the strong aroma that came after the spiciness made Hermione feel a bit delicious.

She stared at the soup in front of her with wide eyes, and then took another sip in disbelief.

She tasted some kind of meat in this bite. She didn't dare to think about what kind of animal meat it was, but just chewing it, there seemed to be no other feeling except a texture similar to barbecue.

Carlos processed the eight-eyed spider's internal organs very clean, and he also put some pepper in the soup, which made the animal's unique fishy smell much lighter.

It also makes the flavor much richer.

"Oh my God!" Ron's eyes widened for a moment as he watched Hermione take a big gulp of soup.

Harry on the side was also stunned...

Is this stuff...really delicious?

He mustered up the courage to raise the soup in front of him. Even though his hands were shaking a little, he slowly poured the soup into his stomach...

"Ah! Oui...ahem, it tastes delicious!"
