Drink Black Tea Calmly at Hogwarts

Time goes back to the time when the basilisk was just eliminated.

The basilisk was killed, and the professors searched the castle again, and after finding that there was no longer any threat, declared the state of emergency lifted.

The unconscious Lockhart was sent to the school infirmary and tied up, while Snape watched over him.

After learning that the school was safe, the students flocked to the foyer to watch the dead body of the basilisk, causing congestion.

So everyone worked together to get the basilisk to the lawn outside the castle for everyone to watch.

The basilisk has a total length of about fifteen meters, a diameter of more than one meter, and a weight of more than ten tons. The huge size makes people feel creepy at first glance. Just now, many students used the floating spell together to transport it outside the castle.

Many students are terrified the first time they see a basilisk. Then a group of single dogs took the opportunity to show their brave and reliable side in front of the girls.

Suddenly, the basilisk's head moved, and more than half of a group of single dogs chatting and laughing in front of the basilisk collapsed on the ground in fright.

Then, a pair of red-haired twins were hung by a group on either side of the gates of Hogwarts Castle.

Zhang Xu's camera was borrowed by Zhang Qiu, and everyone was taking pictures around the basilisk.

After taking out all the film in the treasure bag and handing it over to Zhang Qiu who took pictures with the camera, Zhang Xu walked to a group of people beside him.

Among the "Guardians" who had just participated in the battle, the students who did not need to lie down in the school infirmary gathered together, discussing how to deal with the corpse of the basilisk.

The surrounding students cast admiring glances at them, satisfying some people's vanity, and the single dogs among them gave the girls around them a mature and charming smile.

The students who participated in the battle just now took photos with the basilisk in the foyer, both group photos and individual photos.

Even the two death squads who were petrified were brought out with a levitation spell to take pictures together.

Half a century later, an old wizard showed a photo of himself and the corpse of the basilisk on the lawn in an interview with a TV reporter, claiming that he was a member of the battle that year.

After the show was broadcast, a group of old men and old ladies including the recently retired headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Snape, and Minister of Magic Hermione Granger all posted on Weibo saying that you are nonsense, and that you participated in battles at that time The group photos of students, professors and the basilisk were all taken in the foyer of Hogwarts Castle. After everyone finished taking pictures, they saw that there were too many onlookers before they moved the basilisk to the lawn outside the castle and took pictures on the lawn. All are onlookers.

Basilisks, magical creatures that have lived for thousands of years, can be said to be full of treasures. Not to mention selling them for money, but many students of magic families want to get some good things for their families. Even Muggle-born students want to save themselves a little something in the bottom of the box.

Moreover, the thousand-year-old basilisk is still a non-renewable resource, and the materials on it will be less. After all, no one will make a bunch of basilisks to make a hoarded basilisk like wine making. except someone.

So everyone started to think about the basilisk, because the basilisk is their trophy, and they have the priority to deal with it.

"Is the meat of the basilisk edible?"

As soon as Zhang Xu's words came out, a group of students who had been discussing enthusiastically just now fell silent.

Then a group of people stared at the basilisk with bright eyes.

Such a big basilisk seems to eat a little by itself, so it should be fine.

The next question is whether the meat of the basilisk can be eaten.

After discussing for a while, and coming to the conclusion that the meat of the basilisk is theoretically non-toxic, several prefects of the Snake Academy gathered together and murmured for a while.

"Ahem." A seventh-grade prefect of the Snake House attracted everyone's attention, and then said, "The basilisk is a pet left by the founder of our Slytherin house."

The students from the nearby Snake Academy nodded.

"As a student of Slytherin House,

We killed it for the safety of Hogwarts as a whole. We have no objection to this point. After all, Slytherin House is an integral part of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and it is our duty to protect Hogwarts' safety. things. "

The students from the nearby Snake Academy nodded.

"However, if you want to eat the pet left by the founder of Slytherin House, such behavior is still very inappropriate for a Slytherin House student."

The students from the nearby Snake Academy nodded.

"Of course, if our Slytherin students eat some weird things without knowing it, no one would want this to happen."

The students in the nearby Snake Academy nodded frequently.

Then, under the blank eyes of the students of the other three colleges, the prefect of the Snake Academy took the students of the Snake Academy two steps aside, saying that we don't know anything.

The students from the other three colleges summed it up and decided that this matter could only be done secretly. If the whole school had 5,000 or so people eating together, each of them would get less than half a catty.

But how to get the basilisk meat required some planning.

In the afternoon, Zhang Xu brought a suggestion on how to deal with the corpse of the basilisk, and everyone agreed.

It is impossible for the specimen of the basilisk to soak the whole basilisk in formalin solution.

According to Zhang Xu's idea, the specimen of the basilisk will be combined with four statues representing the students of the four colleges to form a sculpture + specimen combination with the theme of students fighting the basilisk. Then surround it with a circle of fountains.

The address was chosen right in front of the gate of Hogwarts Castle. Anyone entering or leaving the castle through the gates must first pass by the specimen.

In the wizarding world, being an architect is very happy, because the transformation spell can produce the effect model of the work in a very short time.

After some discussions and designs, everyone finally chose the plan, with the gate of Hogwarts Castle as the center line, one side is a basilisk specimen in an attacking posture, and the other side is four wands raising their wands to attack the basilisk. The statue of the attacking student. Surrounded by a huge fountain pool, if you want to go straight to the main entrance of the castle, you need to walk across a bridge erected on the pool. When you walk to the middle of the bridge, there is a huge stuffed basilisk on one side and four statues of students fighting the basilisk on the other. When the fountain sprays water, a stream of water will be sprayed from the tops of the wands of the four statues towards the basilisk specimen, and multiple streams of water will be sprayed from the open mouth of the basilisk and fall on the side of the four student statues on the opposite side.

As for whether the basilisk specimen will be damaged if it is sprayed with water on the fountain, with the blessing of magic, it is not a problem even if it is sprayed with sulfuric acid for hundreds of years.

On the contrary, the characters of the four statues have been debated for a long time. In the end, the statue representing the students of the Lion Academy used the image of Harry Potter who gave the basilisk the final blow, and the statue representing the students of the Snake Academy used the image of the death squad who was the first to rush out of the cafeteria and was petrified. The statue representing the students of the Badger Academy uses the image of a girl who pushed her companion away from the basilisk when it was dying and was swept by the tail of the basilisk, while the image of the student of the Eagle Academy is Zhang Xu. classmate.

After this plan was reported to Dumbledore, Dumbledore immediately approved it.

Sylvanus Kettleburn, the professor of the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, began to process the corpse of the basilisk in the afternoon. He was responsible for making the corpse of the basilisk into a specimen.

Professor Sylvanus Kettleburn and several students worked together to peel off the skin of the basilisk.

Then put the muscles, bones and internal organs of the basilisk into enchanted boxes one by one. This kind of box can effectively preserve the freshness of magical creatures, and can also effectively reduce the loss of magic power.

In one afternoon, the body of the basilisk was disassembled. The skin of the basilisk needs to be embalmed first, and then filled and positioned according to the requirements of the specimen shape design.

The rest of the parts just need to be boxed and shipped back to the castle.

The taxidermy of the basilisk went well, except that several boxes of basilisk meat and bones showed up in the kitchen.
