Chapter 422 Generous Acromanthus

With a full harvest, Kyle left the Forbidden Forest with satisfaction.

A total of 19 pints of Acromanthus venom, converted to 1,900 Galleons, the little Tebo Warthog Leg he gave to Fluffy was returned in a blink of an eye, and it was multiplied by hundreds of times.

Of course, it was not so much originally, but the old spider realized that his behavior of going back on his word was shameless, so he took the initiative to ask for more money.

It was not that it didn't want to give more, but mainly because the production capacity of the Acromanthus was so high. The entire nest, from Aragog himself to the small spiders as big as fingers, were all squeezed dry, and only then could it barely make up 19 pints of venom.

When Kyle left, the spiders couldn't even stand up, and lay on the ground in a twisted manner as if they had drunk fake wine.

Thinking about that scene, Kyle was quite moved. He decided to make a batch of spider tonics and send them to Hagrid in the shortest time after returning, and ask him to deliver them to the Acromanthus.

I hope those tonics can help them recover as soon as possible... After all, under normal circumstances, the process of the eight-eyed giant spider recovering its venom is quite slow.

Kyle walked into the castle happily, not noticing that a pair of eyes were staring at him in the dark.

"Aha!"

Filch jumped out from a corner and said sinisterly: "You stayed out all night, I caught you!"

"Sorry, Mr. Filch, I don't understand what you are saying."

Although he was startled, Kyle said calmly: "I just got up early and went out for a walk.

"Do you think I will believe your nonsense?" Filch sneered: "It's only five o'clock now, how can a little wizard get up so early. "

"Maybe I went to bed early last night." Kyle said, "If you don't believe it, you can go to the Hufflepuff common room and ask. Everyone knows that I went back to the dormitory at ten o'clock and didn't come out all night.

"Or you can ask the portrait hanging in the corridor."

Looking at Kyle's calm face, Filch, who was originally very determined, was a little shaken at this time.

"I will, follow me."

He took Kyle to a portrait in the kitchen corridor and said, "Now you still have the opportunity to confess voluntarily, otherwise..."

"No, Mr. Filch."

Kyle took the initiative to look at the portrait and asked, "Hello, after curfew last night, did you see any Hufflepuffs out for a night stroll?"

"Night stroll? No!" The wizard in the portrait said firmly.

"Are you sure?" Filch asked with a gloomy face.

"Of course." The wizard said, "Last night, I had a staring contest with the lady opposite. It started at nine o'clock. If there were any little wizards passing by here, I would have seen them at a glance."

Filch looked a little ugly.

"The truth is out, Mr. Filch." Kyle smiled and said, "If there is nothing else, I will go back first...

By the way, I found that Mrs. Norris has lost some weight recently. Could it be that Hogwarts has not paid salaries recently? You actually withheld her food.

Filch's face became even uglier, as if he heard that the school was going to give the position of janitor to a Dementor.

"I didn't withhold Mrs. Norris's food!" He roared, "Never!"

"Really..." Kyle shrugged, not commenting, "But it has indeed lost weight recently. Maybe you should buy it some good dried fish to improve its food."

"Don't bother..."

Filch hasn't caught anyone who violated the school rules these days. He was already annoyed. He didn't expect to be accused of "withholding Mrs. Norris's food" early this morning. Filch was so angry that he almost spit fire.

"Of course... you are right. "

Kyle didn't look at him, but took out his wand and knocked on the barrel.

"Then Mr. Filch, I'll go back first, see you next time..."

Kyle waved his hand and turned to walk into the passage.

As the passage door closed again, Filch's voice disappeared.

There was no one in the common room... But it's true, it's only five o'clock now, no Hufflepuff will get up so early, usually such students only appear in Ravenclaw...

There is no need to sleep now, Kyle simply drank a bottle of refreshing potion, sat in an armchair closest to the fireplace and read a book.

Until seven o'clock At that time, people began to enter the common room one after another.

…

The first class was Divination.

Although most students, including professors, thought that Professor Trelawney was just a liar who ate and drank for free at Hogwarts, some people also thought that she was a very powerful prophet.

“I thought she was a liar before, until all her predictions about me came true…”

In the dim and hot attic room, Mikel said excitedly: “She said before that I would leave everyone for a while, but I ended up staying in the school hospital on the weekend… This can be considered as leaving everyone, right!”

Mickle was talking about what happened after the Quidditch game. Because he was hit on the head by a bludger, Madam Pomfrey forced him to stay in the school hospital for two days.

“She said the same thing to me.” Kyle said, “It’s just a coincidence.”

In fact, not only them, but even Cedric had received bad news from her.

Consciously, Professor Trelawney is indeed an out-and-out liar, but she has rich experience and knows how to make her "prophecy" come true.

Quidditch players are a good choice.

In Quidditch, whether it is training or competition, injuries are inevitable.

So in the first divination class after school, almost all Quidditch players were on her prediction list.

Professor Trelawney doesn't need to do anything, just wait, and when the player is injured, the prediction will naturally come true.

With this method, she really gained a lot of admirers, such as Mikel.

He joined the team relatively late, and after Professor Trelawney got the news, she temporarily added his name to the prediction list.

Coincidentally, this prophecy was said on Friday, and it came true after the game on Saturday.

So Mikel believed it and became her loyal admirer directly.

Professor Trelawney still maintained her usual demeanor today, probably because the Quidditch match was approaching, and her target was once again on the team members.

When she passed by Kyle, she walked straight past without stopping at all.

Through her previous experience of watching the game, she knew very well that Kyle had never been injured in the game, and the success rate of predicting him was too low, not worth considering... or another person would be more suitable.

She walked over and stopped in front of Mikel's table inadvertently, watching him turn the planetarium.

"There is something here..." Professor Trelawney said softly, leaning her face over, "Something is moving... What is it... Oh!"

She suddenly shook her head and sighed: "Dear, if I were you, I would be careful of a person with messy hair... Yes, the first person you thought of, you'd better stay away from him before Easter."

Mikel immediately became nervous and began to look around, carefully looking for who Professor Trelawney was talking about.
