Chapter 367: Fire lizard
As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, Albert saw a group of dark shadows running by his feet, which shocked him. He thought his Tom was about to sneak out when the door was opened, so he instinctively reached into his pocket. Here, he was about to take out his magic wand to summon Tom back, only to find that a fluffy thing was rubbing his ankle.
"Okay, I'm going to prepare lunch for you."
Albert stooped to pick Tom up, and lifted his foot to close the door.
He opened the drawer, which was filled with cat food and canned cats, reached out and pushed Tom's head away, took a canned cat from it, opened the mixed cat food and placed it in the bowl. Then he waved his wand, emptied the other bowl of water, and replaced it with a new one.
"It seems that I have to ask how other people keep cats in school." Albert waited for Tom to finish eating, then he picked it up, bumped it up, and kept it heavy as always.
"It's time for you to lose weight, let's go, take you to the common room, there will be your activity space for a long time."
After Tom gets acquainted with the dormitory, Albert will let him move in the common room of Gryffindor, and then slowly expand the activity space, let him gradually become familiar with the environment of the castle, contact more students, and distinguish others The good and evil to it will prevent you from losing out.
There were not many people in the Gryffindor common room at noon. Albert found an empty seat to sit down, took out his pocket watch from his pocket and looked at the time, ready to let Tom move in the common room under his supervision. , But he soon discovered that his cat didn't seem to intend to wander around. Instead, he jumped onto the table next to Albert and just lay there to doze.
"Sleep when you're full, you can do it!"
Albert raised his hand and rubbed Tom's head, then sighed slightly, "If you don't exercise, you'll be fat to a ball."
Someone nearby was covering his mouth and laughing, looking at the fat cat here curiously, whispering in a low voice. Albert turned his head and looked. He didn't recognize two young girls who were talking.
Well, it should be a freshman in the first or second grade. The other party noticed that Albert turned his head and looked over. He was a little bit embarrassed and turned around and walked away.
Albert retracted his gaze, took out a funny cat stick from his pocket, and tried to make his cat move.
After staying in the common room for nearly an hour, Albert sent Tom back to the dormitory, and then used the time converter to go back one hour ago.
He went directly to the school library, only to find that Fred, George and Lee Jordan hadn't arrived yet, so he replaced them with a place for the three of them.
Soon after, the three men walked into the library one after another, still wondering that Albert actually arrived at the library before them.
On the first day of school, the school library was still full as always, and a bunch of people were rushing to do holiday homework.
Fred was a little gloat about this incident, he completely forgot that he was one of them.
In the afternoon, the first session was a class on the protection of magical creatures, which was held in the open space on the edge of the forbidden forest. Professor Keitelber's school style evaluation was very good, and many students applied for this class.
This elderly professor has been teaching in school for many years and he knows how to arouse students' interest in protecting magical animals.
With the help of Hagrid, Professor Kettlebo prepared a bonfire for everyone and told them of the salamanders inside. Knowing the salamanders is what it is today.
Everyone sat around the campfire, watching the salamanders in the campfire, and listening to Professor Keitelberg's explanation of the salamander this magical animal.
The way of class is very interesting, and it immediately aroused everyone's interest.
Professor Keitelberg pointed to the salamander in the campfire with a branch and told everyone: Salamanders are born in flames and feed on flames. As long as the bonfire in front of them is not extinguished, they will continue to live.
"What if the flame goes out?" a Ravenclaw girl asked, raising her hand.
"After leaving the flames, the salamander will soon die."
"Will they be too pitiful."
The bonfire will go out sooner or later, which means that the salamander in the bonfire will soon die.
Professor Kettlebo raised his hand and pressed it down, signaling everyone to be quiet.
"If you give the salamanders leaving the flames the right amount of chili powder regularly, you can delay their death time, but they can only live for up to six hours." He told everyone, "I will put the salamanders here after the bonfire goes out. Take it back. They usually need wizards to create a special environment to survive."
This Albert knows, because the salamander represents the number 6 in the Rune alphabet.
"Of course, when you feed the salamanders with chili powder, you can't feed too much." Professor Keitelber demonstrated to everyone why you can't feed the salamanders with too much chili powder.
Salamanders that eat a lot of chili powder will have a brighter skin, and will continue to spit out sparks in their mouths, igniting Professor Kettlebo’s white beard.
"That's it. Paprika needs to be fed every ten minutes." Professor Keitelberg patted the sparks on his beard and threw the salamander back into the bonfire. "By the way, let the salamander live in a normal temperature environment. One hour is one of the exam questions at the end of the calendar year."
In the following time, Professor Keitelberg asked everyone to collect firewood leaves at the edge of the forest to make the fire burn more vigorously so as to observe the color changes on the salamander.
The color of the salamander will change with the change of the heat of the flame. If the flame temperature is high, it will become blue, if the flame temperature is low, it will gradually appear bright red, and at room temperature, it will become bright orange-red .
Watching the salamander jumping around in the crackling firewood, everyone felt that this was a very interesting lesson.
Albert used a magic wand to fish out a salamander from the campfire. After leaving the flame, its skin immediately turned bright orange, and it was still a bit hot when it fell in the palm of his hand.
Fred and the others immediately leaned in to observe the reaction of the salamander, and felt like flames burning on its body.
The salamander quickly broke free from Albert's hand, fell to the ground and tried to run into the campfire, but Fred grabbed its tail.
The poor salamander just docked his tail and escaped, and soon got into the campfire and disappeared.
Fred looked at the lizard tail twisted in his hand and suddenly didn't know what to say.
"Hey, is there a salamander whose scales are rotten? It actually dropped its tail." Professor Keitelberg said in surprise when he saw the tail on Fred's hand.
The latter’s face was a bit embarrassing. The salamander had lost its tail, which was obviously not related to the rotten scales.
"Salamanders, like fire dragons, may have scales that rot. Once the scales rot, they will lose their tails. If you raise a salamander and encounter this situation again, you only need to put some chili powder on it for treatment. That's it." Professor Keitelberg said to the students who were talking and laughing: "Why don't you write it down?"
"Sir, is there anything special about salamanders?" Fred dropped the tail and changed the subject, "I mean why the wizards keep them."
"The salamander blood has strong healing and healing functions, and it can also be used to make a variety of potions. This is one of the reasons why wizards keep salamanders." Professor Keitelberg explained.
"How do we get blood from the salamanders?" Albert asked. "They don't look like they have a lot of blood on them."
"Very well, this should be something you will learn next year. Of course, if you want to know." Professor Keitelberg waved his wand, and a salamander flew out of the fire and landed on him. Hands.
"We said earlier that salamanders will die soon after they leave the flames, so the speed should be fast enough when taking blood." Professor Keitelberg took out a knife and a test tube to show everyone how to get out of the fire. Take blood from the lizard.
The method is very simple, that is, cut a knife at the position of the salamander's hind foot against the tail, and then stroke it from head to tail like milking a cow.
Yes, it is so simple and rude.
As for hemostasis?
Well, the blood of the salamander has a strong healing power, and it will not take long for the wound to heal automatically.
"The strength must be moderate, otherwise it will cause the salamander's internal organs to rupture. Although this will not kill them, it will make the salamander uncomfortable." Professor Keitelberg threw the salamander from the blood back into the bonfire and continued. , "It is best to wear gloves when taking blood, otherwise you may get burned."
"Of course, if you need salamander blood, you can buy it in a pharmacy. A small bottle costs ten ciques."
"..." George didn't know what he was muttering.
"The salamander is very easy to raise. The only problem is that the blood collection process is complicated. Many wizards are reluctant to do this work. However, the salamander's blood is needed in many places." Professor Kettlebo said. Worried, he signaled everyone to continue to observe the salamanders. It is best to observe how they eat~www.mtlnovel.com~ Fred and George want to "save" the salamanders from the class of protecting magical creatures, Ai Burt scoffed at this. How could he not know Fred's character, so he simply refused to help them make the bottle and the blue flame that could be put in the bottle.
In the end, the twins had to give up and take the salamander directly away. It would not live long at all.
"We just want to raise a salamander." Fred muttered, "You have a cat, Lee Jordan has a spider, and we don't have our own pet yet."
"I don't think Snape would want you to bring that thing into the potions classroom." Albert reminded, "Also, what do you want to feed it?"
"We just want to see what the effect will be if the salamander is struggling to pull out fireworks." George blinked and said honestly. Fred's words could not deceive Albert at all.
"That's a good idea." Lee Jordan's eyes lit up and he agreed, "We can try it with a salamander next time."
