Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 82: Bloodline modification experiment
The night in the Forbidden Forest is still so dim and dull, occasionally the wind blows, and the leaves rustle.
The recessed ground deep in the Forbidden Forest still looks like a mess. Countless large and small eight-eyed giant spiders surrounded the re-arrival Maca, staring silently at him with eight large, gleaming eyes.
This is the third time Maca has entered the site of the eight-eyed giant spider since the beginning of this semester. He spent almost an entire summer vacation for the transformation of his blood.
, you know, in Fort Blois, apart from helping Willie take care of Raphaela’s Dragon Kiss, Maca spent most of his spare time doing research in this area.
The gratifying thing is that the research on bloodline transformation is going very well, and the first attempt can be started tonight.
"Aragok, are you ready?" Maca asked calmly.
When Maca came back from France and came to the Forbidden Forest for the first time, Aragoc and his wife Mossag met him for the second time.
Originally, Mosag didn't agree with him. Asking him to send his child away was like killing him.
But when Mossag learned that if Aragog accepts bloodline modification, the child born will be stronger and more survivable, he quickly agreed.
In the forbidden forest, even the population of eight-eyed giant spiders, the survival rate of the larvae is not very high. Mossag always loses his temper because of the sudden disappearance and death of children. For him, it is very important for the children to grow up healthy and healthy.
But even so, the "acceptance of wizard transformation" still made Aragok hesitate.
When Maca asked Aragok if he was ready, Aragok clicked and moved, obviously still a little worried.
"Don't worry, I also said that even if the renovation fails, there will be no problems." Maca comforted, "At most, I feel very tired and need a few days of rest."
The transformation plan chosen by Maca started with the potions he is best at.
He took some of Aragok’s body fluids and blended it with the blood of the basilisk in a targeted manner. If successful, Aragog might not have too much change, but its children Some magical properties of the basilisk will be integrated into the characteristics of the eight-eyed giant spider.
However, this kind of bloodline transformation is indeed very difficult. Even if the research process is quite smooth, Maca does not think it will succeed soon.
When Aragok said he was ready, Maca decisively injected the medicine that had been prepared into his body.
Time passed little by little, and Aragog's state didn't seem to have changed much, it just slowly became sluggish. From the beginning, standing, gradually turned into lying on the ground.
"I feel... lack of strength." Aragok clicked.
"I think, the first attempt failed." Maca patted Aragok's leg, then took out a bottle of potion and handed it to his mouth, "Drink this, and then rest. In a few days, it will be restored soon."
The failure of the first attempt did not cause too many accidents to Maca, which is normal. What he needs to do is to re-adjust and reform the formula according to the data collected in this attempt, nothing more.
……
In the early morning of the next day, the sun rose as usual, casting the first morning sun over Hogwarts, dispelling the tranquility brought by the night.
Maca got up from the bed, washed up in a hurry, and walked quickly to the greenhouse.
Although Vili has dropped out of school, the care of those flowers and plants is still going on-there are a lot of potion materials that Maca has planted by himself, and you can lose a lot if you are not careful.
If it were in the old days, there must be no one at this early, but today there is an unexpected guest in the greenhouse.
"Professor?"
Maca opened the door of the greenhouse and saw Snape who was checking the herbs in the greenhouse.
Snape nodded at Maca expressionlessly.
Just as Maca was about to do his own business, unexpectedly Snape spoke up.
"How is the situation with Wolf Potion?" Snape asked.
"The progress is good, Professor." Maca turned around when he heard the word and replied, "Although the preparation process is very complicated, it is not too difficult in pharmacology."
"Yeah." Snape nodded, then lowered his head to continue checking the herbs.
Maca saw this and wanted to go back and fiddle with her, but she stopped thinking about it a second time.
"Professor Snape, there is a flower I think can you help me see it?" Maca asked.
He was referring to the flower seeds that Willie asked him to try out last semester. After that, Maca continued to check a lot of information, but did not solve the original doubt.
He thought, maybe Snape, a potion master, would know it or maybe.
"You should ask Professor Sprout for this kind of question." Snape raised his head and said impatiently.
But even though he said that, he still walked towards Maca.
The flower seeds that Maca tried to plant before have grown some stems and leaves. They look very ordinary, they don’t move around like other magic plants, and they don’t suddenly emit any gas or the like.
is like some Muggle plants, but they just broke through the soil and stood there quietly.
But if you observe carefully, you will find that their branches and leaves have a faint psychedelic brilliance, and people will stare at it for a long time without knowing it.
At this point, even Snape was hit.
Maca had to pat Snape's arm to remind him.
"You can't stare at those glories, it's easy to get stuck." Maca said.
Snape looked away and stood there for a moment, thinking, before he spoke.
"I have never seen this plant, nor do I remember any references to this plant, but it should have a strong psychedelic effect." Snape said solemnly, "When they bloom, you must Be prepared for this."
Maca nodded immediately.
"...you can ask Professor Sprout again." Snape suggested.
"Actually, I have asked, and she doesn't know what kind of flower this kind of flower is." Maca said, "This is the flower seed provided by Miss Blois, although I don't know where she got it. Yes, but maybe it’s a new artificially cultivated variety."
Snape gave an "um," glanced at the plants again, and walked away.
He came to the greenhouse this time to pick some herbs for the lectures. Although he always kept his face cold and didn't like students asking questions in class, he always had sufficient preparation in teaching.
Snape is a qualified potions professor, which Dumbledore personally recognized, and his vision is rarely wrong.
The time before breakfast passed quickly, and when Maca finished packing his tools, he hurriedly left. And Snape had already returned to the office when he was halfway through.
After breakfast, today’s first class is Professor Lupin’s Defence Against the Dark Arts class.
Lu almost walked into the classroom on the class bell. He watched everyone smile and put his tattered suitcase on the desk.
His dress is as shabby as he came, but it looks healthier than when he was on the train, as if it was because he had eaten several meals steadily.
"Good morning, everyone." He said, "Please put all the books in your schoolbag. Today is a practical class, you only need to hold the magic wand."
The whole class immediately put the books back into their schoolbags. Everyone looked very excited because they had never taken a practical course on Defence Against the Dark Arts.
This sounds really fresh.
"Then," Lupin saw that everyone was ready, and said, "Come with me!"
Everyone stood up and followed Lupin out of the classroom.
He led them along the corridor without people, turned a corner, and walked into another corridor. Soon, he stopped, just outside the faculty lounge.
"Please go in." Professor Lu Ping said, opening the door and taking a step back.
The teacher’s lounge is a long place full of old chairs that are not complete sets. It looks very spacious and the windows are also large, which makes it always bright.
In the deepest part of this room, against the wall, there is a large closet. It shakes from time to time, banging against the wall, and there seems to be something in it.
"Why did I forget about this! I should have escaped this class if I knew it..." Maca shook his head and said in his heart, "Unless everyone wants to see what Bogut's body is. Well~IndoMTL.com~ don’t worry." Professor Lu Ping said calmly, because some of the students looked a little nervous, "There is just a Bogut inside."
"Bogut likes dark, enclosed spaces," Professor Lupin said, "Closet, the void under the bed, the cupboard under the sink-once I met an old clock hidden in the ancestral house Bogut."
"And this one moved in yesterday afternoon. I asked the principal to ask the faculty if they could not disturb it, so that my third grade students would have some practical opportunities."
"So, I think what everyone should know in advance is—what is'Bogut'?" Lupin asked while looking at the students.
"It is a deformed creature. It will see through your heart and become the thing you fear most." A Ravenclaw boy replied.
"Yes, that's right, that's correct!" Lupin smiled and nodded.
He paused, glanced at Maca standing behind, and suddenly said: "Mr. McLean, I always hear other professors say that you usually have a deeper understanding of some knowledge. What do you want to add?"
Maca looked at Lupin, and said: "It can’t be said to be a supplement, this is just a guess-Bogut’s deformation to scare people may be because they feed on human fear, and Self-defense generally considered by the non-wizard world."
"Of course, this is just a speculation by some wizards and scholars, but I personally think that this speculation does make sense."
"Yes, this is just a guess, McLean is right." Lupin nodded, "but this is a good research topic, which involves a lot of very profound knowledge, I hope everyone can Figure it out."
"Okay, then next, I want to..."
