Chapter 243: The manticore with postpartum depression
The blood of magical creatures mostly has magical effects.
For example, the blood of the fire dragon was developed by Dumbledore for twelve uses, and it was almost impossible for him to play with it.
Unicorn blood is also magical. After taking it, you can extend your life. Even if you are on the verge of death, you can linger and continue to live.
Four years ago, Voldemort asked Quirrell to help him hunt unicorns in order to survive and regain his strength.
Even the Dark Lord comes to suck the blood of unicorns to survive, and the effect is evident.
Of course, unicorn blood is powerful, but the side effects are also extremely obvious:
After taking it, you will be cursed and become a half-dead existence, tormented by pain forever.
Therefore, Rolf would not give Nymeria unicorn blood unless absolutely necessary, but if she really couldn't wake up, he could only give it a try.
After all, it is better to live than die.
After Luo Fu and Shirley finished the surgery on Nymeria, it was already late at night. Instead of going back to school, they had some midnight snacks, then enjoyed the night view in the Forbidden Forest for a while, and finally went back to the box to sleep.
.
Today was Saturday and there was no school. The two of them slept until almost noon, then slowly got up and went to the Acromantula's lair.
After Rolf took away the magical materials they were looking for, he returned to Hogwarts with Shirley.
…
…
Standing at the door of the cabin, Harry and Ron banged on the door.
"Hagrid!" Harry shouted, "We know you're in there! Open the door quickly!"
But the door didn't open. They knocked hard for more than ten minutes and then knocked on the window, but there was still no response.
"How about we use magic to force the door open?" Ron suggested.
Harry hesitated for a moment, then raised his wand, pointed it at the door lock, and whispered: "Open the Alaho hole!"
The lock clicked and the door suddenly opened. They rushed in, only to find that no one was in the room, not even Yaya.
The two of them had just been shouting at the door for more than ten minutes, and their voices were hoarse. They were all working in vain!
Just when the two were about to leave, a roar suddenly came from the door.
"Where did the thief come from!"
Then, a low barking sound sounded, and Yaya rushed into the room, jumped towards Ron, and threw him to the ground.
"It's me, Yaya, don't bite me." Ron shouted.
Seeing that he was an acquaintance, Yaya stopped biting, then stuck out his tongue and licked Ron's cheek passionately.
Ron felt Yaya's hot breath spraying on his face, and at the same time, there was an indescribable odor rushing towards his nose.
Hagrid rushed into the room and found Harry and Ron. He was stunned and said: "Why are you two here?"
"We're here to find you, Hagrid." Harry said, "Why have you been avoiding us lately?"
Hagrid's eyes evaded and said: I'm not hiding from you, I'm just... not feeling well, and I've been living in the Forbidden Forest recently."
"Are you feeling uncomfortable, or have you been affected by Skeeter's report?" Harry stared at Hagrid and asked:
"You don't think we mind that you're a half-giant, do you? Who cares about that!"
"Harry, not everyone is as kind-hearted as you." Hagrid said hoarsely, "That's all the people in Malfoy care about, and they said so many unpleasant things in the newspapers."
"Oh, don't care about what these people think, they are nasty Slytherins." Harry comforted:
"No matter if you are a half-giant or not, they will not like you, you know?"
"That's right, come back to class soon." Ron stood up, wiped the saliva on his face, and asked again:
"Hagrid, why does Fangya's mouth smell so bad? Did he eat something dirty?"
"Oh, Fang ate Lista's feces for breakfast." Hagrid praised: "That's a beautiful manticore and the mother of those Explosive-tailed Skrewts."
"Manticore feces?" Ron's face suddenly turned sallow, and he immediately pushed away the fang that was still licking his palm.
"Don't worry, Ron." Hagrid comforted, "Lista has been losing weight recently, and most of what she poops out is water, so it's not that disgusting."
"..."
Ron felt even more nauseous and quickly bent over and retched.
Hagrid patted Ron on the shoulder with a heavy hand, causing him to fall to the ground.
Hagrid helped Ron up apologetically and asked again:
"Did you see Rolf and Shirley when you two came from the castle?"
"No." Harry shook his head and frowned: "Do you have anything to do with them?"
"I'm worried about their safety." Hagrid sighed:
"When I rushed to Brown Cave Mountain last night, the centaurs said they had taken Nymeria away. I searched for most of the night but couldn't find them in the Forbidden Forest.
I just want to come to Hogwarts today to see if they are in school. If I can't find them, I will have to find you, Dumbledore."
"Rolf and Shirley went to the Forbidden Forest last night?" Harry asked in surprise.
"Yes, they came to the Forbidden Forest on business and wanted to see me." Hagrid quickly talked about what happened last night.
After Harry and Ron heard this, they looked at each other and saw shock in each other's eyes.
They thought that the twins' night trip was already a big deal, but they didn't expect that Rolf and Shirley would have even more exciting adventures... It was really enviable.
Just then, a deafening roar came from the distance. Hagrid's expression changed and he quickly ran out.
Harry and Ron followed closely behind, following Hagrid as they ran quickly toward the Forbidden Forest. However, before going too deep, they saw a huge magical creature tied to a big tree:
It has a hideous human face, a huge body like a lion, the brown hair on its neck is bright red, it has strong limbs and sharp claws, and it also has a scorpion tail with deadly venom at the end.
prick.
The magical creature let out a deafening roar, and its targets were Rolf and Shirley.
They ride broomsticks, float in mid-air, and confront it.
Rolf was about to go back to school, but suddenly he heard a roar and came over to take a look. Unexpectedly, he encountered a manticore.
He looked at the magical creature, and there was a "ding" sound in his brain.
