Hogwarts: Storm Chaser

This time, Hagrid talked to them about the horse-shaped water monster.

Equestrians are shape-shifting water monsters that can change into any shape.

But the most common thing about them is the shape of a horse, always covered with broad-leaf cattail grass as a mane, so they are called "horse-shaped water monsters".

They often induce unwary people to ride on their backs, then plunge into the bottom of rivers or lakes, drowning them.

They would devour people and leave their entrails floating on the water.

The method to defeat them is very simple, related to their names. Use the [Placement Spell] to place the bridle on the head of the horse-shaped water monster to make them docile and obedient.

Hagrid also told them that the largest known horse-shaped water monster is the Loch Ness Monster in Scotland.

His favorite image is that of a sea serpent, and he is often seen by Muggles, becoming one of their unsolved mysteries.

Like the dragon's nerves and the phoenix's tail feathers, the horse's mane can also serve as the core of a wand, but the effect is not as good as the first two.

After learning that the kelpie could change its shape at will, Ralph and the others looked at each other.

"Hagrid, is there a kelpie in the school?"

William asked curiously.

"No. Not only not in the school, but also in the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid replied that it was a pity because he wanted to keep such a cute magical animal.

Several people nodded and continued to listen to Hagrid's stories about him and magical animals.

With the constant interruptions from several people, Hagrid made great progress in telling the story.

At the beginning, when the few people talked about magical beasts with Hagrid, they mainly asked Ralph and others.

Now, it was Hagrid himself who told the story, and there was no need for Ralph to ask questions to advance the content.

Unless there is something they really need to know, they will not interrupt Hagrid's story now.

You know, since Ralph and the others often came to Hagrid to learn about magical beasts, Hagrid felt a lot of pressure.

So, he asked Professor Keltborn about various magical animals. Like a student, he listened very carefully and even took notes, but his handwriting was not very good.

While talking about magical beasts with Ralph and the others, Hagrid was also learning about magical animals with Professor Keltburn to increase his knowledge base.

It was also the first time that he realized that he still had so many shortcomings.

For example, Snidgets, although they are golden, like hummingbirds in the Muggle world, the feathers under their necks and heads change color.

When you are happy, the color is brighter and the color changes faster; when you are unhappy, the color is darker and the color changes between dark and dark colors.

It's amazing!

After increasing his knowledge base, Hagrid still felt powerless when giving lectures to Ralph and the others.

"Lectures", this is what he thinks.

After all, after living in Hogwarts for so many years, who hasn’t dreamed of becoming a professor?

Doesn't Filch still have a wizard dream?

At a regular Hogsmeade village gathering, Hagrid talked about this matter with Dumbledore and others over wine.

The professors covered their mouths and smiled gently, and promised Hagrid to teach him how to teach students.

Dumbledore was very pleased, stroking his beard, smiling brightly, and drank several bottles of wine, making Madam Pomfrey at the other table look stunned.

He decided to give Hagrid some of his teaching methods.

I still remember that in those years, he was very popular among the students!

This time, they met at Mrs. Puddy's Tea House.

After all the garbage in the Room of Requirement was disposed of, Hogwarts' funds were greatly enriched.

Therefore, Professor McGonagall graciously invited everyone to gather in a private room in Mrs. Puddieff's teahouse.

There is no sweetness of the weekend. At this time, Mrs. Puddifu's teahouse is illuminated by a warm yellow light, and the air is filled with the faint scent of incense. It feels good.

With goals and resources, Hagrid learned quickly.

Back to Ralph and the others.

Ralph and the others were very excited after learning about the abilities of the Equus.

They quickly found Severus and told him about the horse-shaped water monster's abilities and their speculations.

Severus naturally believed in their choice.

So several people talked about this matter with Professor Sgrughorn. Professor Sgrughorn thought for a while and then thought about activating his personal network to find a horse-shaped water monster.

His idea was to tame the horse-shaped water monster in the school's black lake in the name of Hogwarts, which would not only increase the students' knowledge, but also increase the school's heritage.

However, Professor McGonagall's nod is required. Without Professor McGonagall's consent, it will be difficult to achieve these goals.

In less than a week, the news that Hogwarts had introduced a Kelpie to teach Care of Magical Creatures had spread throughout the UK.

Public opinion was all on the side of Hogwarts, and some were on the neutral side and carefully criticized the good or bad of this matter.

Some good people even used this incident to compare Hogwarts with other magic schools in Europe, devaluing other magic schools as worthless and elevating Hogwarts to the sky.

Among them, there is no lack of Death Eater forces adding fuel to the flames.

The commotion outside the school did not disturb Ralph and the others inside the school.

Since it was a sample of various parts of a whole magical animal, Professor Slughorn, the instructor, participated in Ralph's experiment.

The testing of raw materials this time was mainly conducted by Professor Sglughorn and Severus, with Ralph and the others acting as assistants, or more accurately, watching from the sidelines.

Through testing, they discovered that the magic of the horse-shaped water monster's transformation mainly relies on the body fluids of various parts of the body.

Among them, the three most important parts are: skin, blood and bones.

After several experiments, the mimic deformation effect of skin extract is the best, followed by bone, and finally blood.

After finding the blank version of the main material, another question appeared in front of them:

How to make the water monster skin extract accurately identify the taste crystal and change it into its form?

Are you adding some ingredients?

Obviously not. Adding auxiliary ingredients, the cost of this potion would be too high, and it would be difficult to achieve the goal of civilian use.

Since they had a specialization in the field, they went to Professor Flitwick.

Professor Flitwick's knowledge of potions was far inferior to Professor Sgrughorn's, so he simply looked to the potions themselves to find a solution.

He had several ideas.

1: Develop a special magic spell to determine the mimic object of the water monster skin extract, and use it when adding flavored crystals.

2: Design a new magic drink container, engrave the corresponding runes in the container or directly apply magic to achieve the purpose.

three......

It has to be said that the Ravenclaw wizard's thoughts are really wild and unconstrained.

Initially, Professor Flitwick spent a lot of time coming up with several methods.

After that, it crackled, like a downpour of lightning, emerging one after another.

After much deliberation, several people chose the first and second methods, because these two are the most normal and simplest.

Although Professor Sgrughorn is very tight-lipped, his recent behavior still makes everyone see something unusual.

Some professors became inexplicably nervous.

Taking this opportunity, Professor Flitwick asked him.
