Next, Hagrid told Elwyn a lot about cultivating fried tail snails.
They now needed to figure out what fried tail snails liked to eat, which was also the main task of this semester's magical animal protection class.
In the morning class, Hagrid let everyone experiment with ant eggs, frog livers, and green snakes.
But it didn't seem right, fried tail snails didn't like to eat these things, so Hagrid changed a few more varieties.
Elwyn couldn't help but suspect that it was meaningless, because these fried tail snails didn't seem to have a mouth at all.
More than 20 minutes later, the students came to Hagrid's hut and gathered.
There was no doubt that the third-year Sorcerers, who had come to their first class on the protection of magical animals with high hopes, were devastated when they saw these terrifying exploding snails. Their little faces were filled with shock and disappointment.
They repeatedly confirmed with Hagrid that he was not joking with them?!
Even if there were no fun magical animals such as Sniff, unicorn, or other fun magical animals, last year's hippogriff winged beasts were much better than this.
At the very least, everyone could ride them to the sky and fly around the castle, which sounded very cool.
But in the face of these fried tail snails, the little wizards felt nothing but disgust.
Needless to say, this was simply the worst class of the year.
When Corin was feeding them, he accidentally burned his finger, so he no longer dared to approach these guys.
For everyone's dissatisfaction and complaints, Hagrid didn't notice at all, instead, he happily shared his new discovery with everyone. "Pay attention to the sharp parts of these fried tail snails, I guess those with thorns are male, and there are suckers on the belly of the female. Yes, I think they probably suck blood. "
Yes, in addition to exploding and biting people, these fried tail snails also sucked blood, which was indeed a great discovery.
Among all the little wizards, the only one who was happy was Luna.
She seemed to think that the fried tail snails cultivated by Hagrid were very interesting, so she asked a lot of detailed questions in a row.
This made Hagrid very happy, so he added five points to Ravenclaw.
Gryffindor and Ravenclaw attended this class together. They hadn't seen each other during the holidays, but Luna didn't change much.
The girl's waist-length blonde hair had grown a little longer, and the ethereal aura emanating from her body was stronger than before.
Although she was very beautiful and was a rare beauty, it was hard for people to get close to her.
Luna wore a necklace made of buttered beer stoppers and had carrot earrings dangling from her ears.
She brought Elwyn the latest issue of Contrarian and told him about the latest research on resisting the monsters.
Luna didn't go to watch the World Cup this holiday. Instead, she followed her father to travel to Sweden with the money she got from selling Elwyn's articles. She also wanted to look for traces of the snot monster.
The only person in the school who was indifferent to Elwyn's tyrannical performance in the Quidditch World Cup was Luna.
She didn't seem to feel that there was anything to be surprised about.
In his opinion, there was no doubt that Elwyn had always been strong.
While waiting for the class to end, everyone dragged their tired bodies and heavy hearts back to the castle.
Everyone was glad that they were able to get rid of the exploding tail conches.
During dinner, Hermione briefly told Elwyn about her current progress in protecting the rights of the house-elves. She wrote an article calling for wizards to pay attention to the legal rights of the elves and mailed it to Professor Lupin.
Then, she also told Elwyn that she was ready to do something for the house-elves.
Before Elwyn could figure out what it was, she hurriedly finished dinner and went to the library to search for information.
As for Harry and Ron, their mood was as bad as the third-year wizards who were immersed in the shadow of the exploding tail conches.
Unsurprisingly, Professor Trelawney predicted Harry's death again.
This time, she said that when Harry was born, he was affected by the ominous influence of Saturn, which was why he was so unlucky.
She told everyone that the movement of the planets and the mysterious signs they showed could only be understood by those who understood the rules of the celestial dance. The fate of mankind could be deciphered through the radiant light of the planets. These lights intertwined with each other.
Simply put, it was very reasonable to use the planets to predict fate.
This sounded a bit like what the centaurs said, omens from the sky.
According to the changes in the positions of the stars, Professor Trelawney saw that Harry's days ahead would be full of hardships, very difficult. What Harry feared would really come, and it would come faster than he thought.
It seemed to make sense. Because of those dreams, Harry was worried about the Lord Voldemort.
But thinking about it carefully, this kind of thing should be easy to guess. Professor Trelawney was simply scaring him.
Then, they spent a few hours filling in a complicated circular chart.
They had to fill in the position of the planet at the time of their birth. It was a tedious task.
They had to calculate many complicated times and angles. To Harry and Ron, it was simply a waste of time.
As for the next day, the first Divination class for the third years was as bad as Hagrid's Mythical Animal Protection class.
The layout of the Divination class was the same as Elwyn remembered. The curtains were tightly drawn, and the round room was lit with many lamps. The lamps were covered with scarves and shawls, and the whole room was shrouded in a hazy red light.
The familiar sweet smell from the fire wafted into their nostrils. The room was a mess of printed seats and futons.
Professor Trelawney asked everyone to drink tea and then read the tea leaves in everyone's teacups.
Although Elwyn had already done it once last year, this year, Professor Trelawney did not hesitate to predict that Elwyn would encounter disaster, or even die. This was her favorite way to welcome new students.
Elwyn was already prepared, but the others did not know.
Everyone looked at him strangely, as if Elwyn could collapse at any time.
This time, the sign was not ominous, nor was it an eight-eyed spider, but a horse-shaped water monster.
God knows how Professor Trelawney saw such a magical animal in Elwyn's teacup.
It was said that the horse-shaped water monster could change into various shapes, but it most commonly appeared as a horse or a sea snake, with broad-leaved cattail as a mane. It would lure unwary people to ride on its back, and then plunge into the bottom of a river or lake, wolfing down the person, letting the person's internal organs float to the surface.
The correct way to defeat a horse-shaped monster was to use a Placing Charm and place a bridle on its head. After that, it would become docile and no longer pose a threat to you. However, do not let it go easily. It will hold a grudge and curse you.
The world's largest horse-shaped water monster was found in Scotland's Loch Ness.
To put it simply, because this kind of underwater monster was particularly dangerous and man-eating, the meaning of its appearance in Elwyn's teacup was self-evident. Elwyn was likely to drown in the water, or be eaten by the water monster.
Elwyn did not take this kind of nonsense to heart. He could not see where he could meet a horse-shaped water monster.
There was definitely no such thing in Loch Hogwarts, and Elwyn did not intend to go into Loch Ness.
After last year's baptism, he now completely ignored the contents of Professor Trelawney's usual predictions.
