Harry Potter and the Great Old Ones

Chapter 287 Research on the Transformation of Blast-Ended Snails

On the morning of the second day of school, the storm subsided, but there was still a gloomy mist on the ceiling of the auditorium.

When Tiera, Harry, Ron and Hermione were having breakfast and studying their course schedule for this semester, large blue-gray thick clouds were rolling above their heads.

At the same table, a few seats away from them, Fred, George and Lee Jordan were discussing how to use magic spells to make themselves older, and then get through and participate in the Triwizard Tournament.

"It's not a bad day... we've been outdoors all morning," Ron said, sliding his finger across the column for Monday on the course schedule, "Herbology class, with Hufflepuff students, Care of Magical Creatures class...

...Unlucky, being with Slytherin again..."

"There are two Divination classes this afternoon." Harry lowered his head and sighed.

Divination is his least favorite subject after Potions.

Professor Trelawney always predicted that Harry was going to die, which particularly bothered him——

Fortunately, Tiera did not give up on this course, which allowed Harry to at least hear some less depressing prophecies.

"Can't you just give up on this class like me?" Hermione said briskly as she spread butter on her slices of bread. "Then you can take a more learned class, such as Arithmancy."

"I don't want to give up." Tiera said after taking a bite of baguette. "This is the only class where I only need to sleep to get full marks."

Although Sybill Trelawney is a rookie most of the time, she is a responsible rookie——

Because Tiera "suffered a heavy blow" at the end of last semester, Professor Sybill Trelawney believed that this was the responsibility for her unfavorable prophecy——

Sybill Trelawney believed that she should have predicted this terrible accident, but she received no revelation from her third eye.

So out of guilt and a little hint from Dumbledore, although Tiera did not take any exams, he became the only little wizard in the school who got perfect marks in the divination class——

Anyway, Tiera deserves the title. He has completed two prophecies. Regardless of whether they are true or false, at least Tiera did it with great style.

The first two classes of this semester——

Although the Herbal Medicine and Care of Magical Creatures classes are outdoors, they are not particularly enjoyable classes.

Because the Herbology class required them to handle babbo tubers, they had to wear dragonhide gloves to squeeze out the pus from the babbo tubers.

It is a precious material that can be used to brew medicine for treating acne.

The afternoon Care of Magical Creatures class was equally disgusting.

Hagrid took them to the door of his hut and showed them his newly cultivated blast-ended snail——

They were a group of giant lobsters that looked like they had been deformed and had their shells removed. They were white, gray, slimy, and very scary-looking creatures.

Their many legs are stretched out in various directions, and their heads are nowhere to be seen.

These squids were placed in several wooden boxes at Hagrid's door. There were about a hundred of them in each wooden box, each about six inches long. They were stacked on top of each other, crawling around, and bumping into each other in a daze.

On the wall of the box.

They also emit a very strong smell of rotting fish and shrimp. Every now and then, a few sparks will shoot out from the tail of a snail, and then with a soft popping sound, the snail will advance a few inches.

Everyone, every student felt disgusted, except for one——

"Oh my God, Hagrid!" Tiera said excitedly, and directly picked one up from the wooden box, looking left and right.

"You actually succeeded!" Tiera said extremely excitedly, pinching the tentacles of the snails for a while, and then pinching their shells. "You are simply a genius!"

Tiera admired sincerely.

Tiera is now also starting to conduct species hybridization experiments. Before the end of last semester, Tiera moved the mice and the mouse-Peter Pettigrew hybrid descendants in the underground secret room of Hogwarts to her own uninhabited planet and designated them specially

An area is dedicated to breeding and genetic experiments.

Before the start of school, Tiera had just started the second round of backcross breeding of mice, and was still far from creating a truly magical creature.

"Hehe..." Hagrid scratched his head in embarrassment, as if he was not used to Tiera's compliments, and smiled honestly, "No...I...I haven't...yet successfully cultivated...

...It's just...it's just that I don't know what they should eat yet."

"Let me take a look." Tiera said, carefully observing the blast-ended snail——

"Molluscs, um... gastropods... let me take a look at its mouthparts..." Tiera made a judgment based on the zoology she had learned in her previous life, and then pulled out her wand -

"Crazy Walker" transformed into a wand, inserted it into the mouthparts of the Explosive-Ended Skrewt, and then forcefully pushed them open——

"Hey! Be careful!" Hagrid shouted nervously, "It's just a baby!"

Hearing Hagrid shout this, the other students couldn't help but shudder.

It seems extremely blasphemous to associate such a group of creatures with babies.

"Aha." Tiera yelled, "Chewing mouthparts, judging from the shape of the mouthparts... they should be carnivorous... but they are not fully developed... they will bite after they are fully grown.

It should be no problem to break the bones of ordinary people, but now I should only be able to eat some soft meat... Huh?"

Tiera turned the Blast-Ended Skrewt over again and looked at the tops of the tentacles on their abdomens——

There is a suction cup on the top of each tentacle.

Tiera reached out and touched the inside of those suction cups——

The snail shrank nervously, and Tiera felt a ring of sharp teeth-like things adsorbed on her skin, as if it wanted to bite through her skin to suck something.

"It's sucking my blood! Hagrid!" Tiera said excitedly.

"What? Really?" Hagrid also ran over with excitement on his face.

Tiera pulled out her finger from the suction cup under the tentacles of the Blast-Ended Skrewt, and then showed it to Hagrid——

On Tiera's hand, there was a circle of shallow, discontinuous tooth marks, and blood was oozing out.

"And there should be an anticoagulant in its mucus...well...ahem...a substance that prevents blood coagulation..." Tiera suddenly realized that everyone present probably didn't know what anticoagulant is.

Enzyme, so I had to change my explanation, "This will make it difficult for the wound to heal itself... I just don't know the specific effect, but if they are bigger, once they are bitten, the person being attacked is likely to bleed."

And died."

Hearing Tiera's words, the other students took a step back.

"No! It won't!" Hagrid said nervously, "My little cuties won't hurt anyone."

It would be nice if their mucus could be a little more toxic...

Holding the Blast-Ended Skrewt in her hand, Tiera suddenly thought of a guess——

"Hey, Hagrid, can you give me this Blast-Ended Skrewt?" Tiera asked, "Can you give me another one...one of another gender?"

Tiera's mouse-Peter Pettigrew hybrid experiment was only for the genetic accumulation of magical traits.

In the words of Tom Riddle, purely academic research.

But science is not just academic research, but also considers practical applications.

Tiera planned to brew two more cans of Hydra potion, feed them to the two Blast-tailed Skrewts, transform them into Blast-tailed Basilisk snails, and then use the powerful reproductive ability of the Blast-tailed Skrewts to see if she could build one herself.

An army of basilisk snails.
