All in all, Gabriel's magical strength was pretty good and she knew a lot of things.
But in some areas, she did need Elwyn's care.
Maybe it was because she had always been under Hibiscus Chinensis's protection, but she lacked general knowledge.
She was also somewhat similar to Hermione, who loved to learn.
For example, when they were in the class on the protection of magical creatures, Hagrid walked over to everyone.
He carried a large pile of shaky boxes in his arms, and each box contained a large explosive-tailed conch.
The others hurriedly stayed far away, but Gabriel actually took the initiative to go up and take a look.
Elwyn hurriedly pulled her back. Shouldn't a normal person's first reaction upon seeing such a terrifying monster be to run away in fear?!
Facing an explosive-tailed conch that could explode and burn people at any time, taking the initiative to go up was not a wise choice.
Now, under Hagrid's careful breeding, the remaining explosive-tailed conches were about three feet long.
Every one of them was shockingly strong, and they were no longer fleshy and colorless. Instead, they grew a thick, shiny, greyish-white armor-like thing, which looked even thicker than the previous armor.
They looked like a giant scorpion and an elongated crab, but it was still impossible to see where their heads and eyes were.
"Elwyn, what is this?" Gabriel asked softly, her light blue eyes flashing with curiosity.
"Explosive-Tailed conch!"
"I've never seen it before …"
"That's because they were bred by Hagrid himself!" Elwyn said. "Alright, now stay away from them."
Hagrid put the shaking boxes on the ground and spread them out in front of everyone.
"I've studied it carefully. The reason why explosive-tailed conches kill each other is because they have excess energy that they have nowhere to release."
Elwyn was skeptical. Wasn't it because of their innate savage nature?!
"To solve this problem, every two students must tie a explosive-tailed conch with a rope and take it for a walk." As Hagrid spoke, he deliberately took out an explosive-tailed conch to show in front of Gabriel. "I tested it in class this morning, and the effect is very good."
He looked like he was trying to make a good impression on Gabrielle, who he knew was a student of Madame Maxime.
As expected, Hagrid then asked Elwyn and Gabriel to help him demonstrate how to tie a rope to a fried tail snail.
"What should we do?" Gabrielle asked, eager to try.
"Where to tie the rope, to its quills, to its tail, or to its suckers?" said Elwyn reluctantly.
"Tie it in the middle!" Hagrid said, "You two will need to wear dragon leather gloves as an additional precaution."
Under his thick and unkempt eyebrows, his beetle-like black eyes shone with excitement.
He proudly explained the body structure of the Sharp-tailed Snails to Gabriel, as well as their living habits and things to pay attention to.
It could be seen that Hagrid was very proud of being able to cultivate a new species.
Gabriel did ask a lot of questions, which made Hagrid very happy.
A few minutes later, Elwyn and Gabriel were taking a stroll on the lawn while pulling a huge explosive-tailed conch.
Every step was very difficult. The explosive-tailed conch was extremely powerful and difficult to control, and it did not listen to their commands at all.
On the contrary, the two of them had to be vigilant at all times.
Every now and then, with a frightening crack, the explosive-tailed conch's tail would explode, propelling it forward a few meters. Even though the rope was long enough, Elwyn and Gabriel had to run quickly to keep up with the explosive-tailed conch.
Being pulled along by an explosive-tailed conch was a very unique experience.
As for the other students, many of them were dragged to the ground, struggling desperately to stand up.
If the explosive-tailed conch suddenly turned around at this time, the consequences would be unimaginable.
The lawn was a mess, and Elwyn saw Corin and Ginny being pulled forward by an explosive-tailed conch.
Everyone had suffered a lot, but Hagrid thought that everyone was having a good time.
In fact, Gabriel was probably the only one who was having a good time.
The girl ran around behind the explosive-tailed conch, giggling.
"They're quite interesting, aren't they?!" Gabriel said with a smile. "Hagrid is really amazing. He can actually cultivate his own magical animals. I've never heard of anyone doing this before. This is really amazing."
Indeed, very few people did what Hagrid did, because it was illegal and the cultivation process was very dangerous.
Take these explosive-tailed conches as an example. They were the descendants of a human-headed lion-bodied scorpion-tailed beast and a fire crab. As a magical animal rated as the most dangerous, the human-headed lion-bodied scorpion-tailed beast was not something that anyone dared to come into contact with. If they were not careful, they could easily lose their lives.
Of course, if one did not consider legality and danger, and only looked at it from the perspective of a species, explosive-tailed conches were still very valuable for research.
Gabrielle obviously thought so. She would never see such an amazing animal in Boothbottom.
Her courageous and studious spirit was not only reflected in the protection of magical creatures class, but also in other classes.
For example, in Snape's potions class, even though Snape was exuding a cold and terrifying aura, she ignored it and kept raising her hand to ask questions.
Perhaps the potions professor in Booth Town liked his students to do this, but Snape was definitely not like this.
In his class, there was an unspoken rule, and that was that no questions were allowed.
He would write down all the potion brewing processes and materials on the blackboard, and let the students lower their heads and study it.
However, there was an obvious problem. Most of the potion recipes and brewing steps that Snape wrote on the blackboard were different from those in the textbook. They were all optimized and improved by him. If this was published outside, it would definitely be an amazing achievement.
However, Snape did not intend to explain to everyone how amazing this was, and the little wizards did not have the corresponding ability to distinguish it.
All they had to do was to follow his instructions and understand why Snape had improved so much on their own.
"Professor, I have learned this antidote recipe before, but I did not grind the moonstone into powder …"
"Obviously so, Miss Dracul!" Snape said coldly, "You need to flip through your potions textbook again."
"But …" Gabriel wanted to continue asking, but the textbook did not write this way at all.
Elwyn secretly pulled her back. Did this girl not see the way the others were looking at her?!
After Elwyn stopped her, not long after, Gabriel would raise her hand again. Snape's explanation was completely different from what she had learned before.
Those who dared to interrupt Snape's lecture again and again would end up in a miserable state.
Everyone was worried for Gabriel. This girl who was as cute as a little angel could not possibly be Snape's opponent.
Fortunately, Snape had some reservations about the fact that Gabriel was Booth Town's student.
。 His face was terrifyingly gloomy, but there were many things he did not say. He chose to ignore Gabriel, just like how he always ignored Elwyn and Hermione.
However, the other students of Gryffindor were unlucky. Snape did not have any reservations about them.
