Hogwarts: I am Harry's eldest cousin

It's just that the carnivorous slugs in the ordinary world feed on earthworms and other slugs. They are just bigger and more colorful than ordinary slugs, and they are not harmful to humans. The carnivorous slugs in the wizarding world are different. They are larger and their food is more widely distributed. Small magical creatures such as cattails are one of their diets. They are also somewhat aggressive towards humans.

Their teeth are just as sharp as those of piranhas.

Moreover, they are not picky about food and eat almost everything, including vegetables grown in Hogwarts. For this reason, Hagrid even bought a potion to repel carnivorous slugs. It works, but not much.

The main thing is that this thing has extremely strong vitality and a fast reproduction ability.

Yes, its reproductive capacity is comparable to that of a vixen.

Hagrid asked curiously, "By the way, what do you want these things for?"

"Do some experiments."

Dudley answered briefly, gently lifted the lid, and began to check the status of the flesh-eating slugs in the box.

The carnivorous slugs that Hagrid had caught were all extremely large and in very good condition, and were now gathering together and trying to chew through the box.

These little guys have really sharp teeth.

"Potion? It must be a potion. Only this course will use this disgusting and troublesome little creature. But I heard that carnivorous slugs are not very stable and are not qualified potion materials."

As long as the topic involves magical creatures, Hagrid will turn into a master of chatterbox and can talk all day long.

Seeing that Dudley hadn't responded and his attention was all focused on the group of carnivorous slugs, Hagrid scratched his head awkwardly and remained silent for a while.

"Dudley, I heard from Dumbledore that if it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been released so quickly. It was you who completely solved the problem of the Chamber of Secrets. It was you who found the truth and punished the murderer."

Hagrid spoke haltingly for a long time. When he saw Dudley looking at him, he finally said in an awkward tone:

"I, I, I just wanted to say thank you."

"I have treated you and your family like that. And now you are still willing to help me. I really don't know how to repay you."

It can be heard that he is not good at thanking others.

"It's all right, Hagrid. It's just a piece of cake."

Dudley waved his hands. Rescuing Hagrid was really just a side job.

But the more casual he acted, the more guilty Hagrid felt.

It's hard to imagine that Hagrid and Voldemort were actually classmates at Hogwarts at the same time.

He doesn't look like it either. Hagrid looks no more than forty years old.

In fact, Hagrid is now in his 60s and almost 70.

The same goes for Voldemort.

Dudley looked at the uneasy Hagrid, paused and said, "Actually, I do have something I need to ask you."

"Really? Really?"

When Hagrid heard that he needed help, his eyes lit up at first, but soon dimmed again: "But I don't understand anything. You are so powerful and outstanding. I heard from others that you may be the best student in Hogwarts. I mean, I may not be able to help you."

"Don't underestimate yourself."

Dudley waved his hand. "Everyone has their own expertise. You are much better than me in this area."

"Really? I mean am I that awesome? Just tell me anything you want, as long as I can do it."

Hagrid pounded his chest so hard that it sounded like the beating of a drum.

“How to breed magical creatures of different species.”

Chapter 170: Hybrid Master Rubeus Hagrid and the Door?

"Hey, you asked the right person."

Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes sparkled when he heard this. There was nothing he didn't know as long as it concerned knowledge about magical creatures.

“I’ve been trying this lately.”

Hagrid deliberately lowered his voice, but even with his voice lowered, it was still as loud as a tweeter.

"I'll tell you a secret. I found a man-headed lion-body scorpion-tailed beast in the forest north of the Forbidden Forest."

Hagrid said mysteriously.

The Manticore is a creature with a human head, a lion's torso and a scorpion's tail. The end of its tail has a deadly stinger like a scorpion. These stingers can be fired in any direction. Anyone stung by it will die instantly.

The fur of the manticore is able to repel almost all known spells. Although it is not as big as the thousand-year-old basilisk, it is still a large beast. In the wizarding world, people classify it and the Chimera as extremely dangerous creatures, and of course they are equally rare.

By the way, the Manticore, like the Acromanthus, is also a magical creature that likes to eat people.

"That little fellow seemed to have lost contact with his parents, and stayed alone in that forest. Fortunately, he met me. Now we are friends. It's a pity that there is no other man-headed lion-body scorpion-tailed beast in the Forbidden Forest. Fortunately, I have found a mate for it."

Hagrid didn't say how he met the Manticore, but it probably wasn't a pleasant thing for the Manticore.

"Little guy?" Hearing Hagrid's description.

The image of a manticore with a lion's body and a human head automatically came to Dudley's mind.

Tall and fierce.

Anyway, it has absolutely nothing to do with Xiao.

"What are you looking for him?"

Dudley looked odd.

"A group of female fire crabs!" Hagrid said excitedly. "I think they are very suitable."

Hagrid's selection definitely did not follow the other party's (the manticore) opinion.

The Manticore is not just a beast. Like Aragog and the Sphinx, it has intelligence that is no less than that of a human. On the other hand, the Fire Crab is a magical creature with no intelligence at all, and it is also an aquatic creature.

Fire crabs are to manticores what king crabs are to humans.

If you want something to happen between people and king crabs, there has to be a place for it to happen.

However, according to the original timeline, Hagrid successfully bred the Manticore and the Fire Crab to create a new species - the Exploding-Tailed Skrewt, a new species of magical creature that is useless but quite dangerous.

It is common sense that there is reproductive isolation between species, and the isolation between magical animals is even more obvious.

Hagrid is definitely a breeding genius, as he can hybridize two completely unrelated magical creatures and successfully create a new species.

Maybe he really has a solution.

So Dudley stated his request.

"I want to grow a batch of carnivorous slugs with shells."

There are no such things as magical snails or magical snails in the wizarding world, and the only magical creatures that can be considered relatives of snails are these carnivorous slugs.

In Dudley's mind, the only snail that has anything to do with magic is the light snail that appears in the protagonist group in "Light Messenger".

Unfortunately, Dudley couldn't get it for the time being.

But he is not good at breeding magical creatures. He only has the skill of taming and has not acquired the skill of breeding. It would be best if Hagrid could do it.

"A carnivorous slug with a shell?"

Hagrid thought for a while, then patted his chest and promised: "I don't know why you would want that kind of thing, but leave it to me."

He seemed to have figured it out.

"So, how long will it take?"

Dudley asked the question that concerned him most.

He can wait for half a year, and a year wouldn't be a big problem, but if it takes more than three years, it would be more troublesome.

"Meat-eating slugs are basically in a state of reproduction anytime and anywhere, which is much more convenient than the manticore."

"It will probably take one or two months."

One or two months. This time exceeded Dudley's expectations and was much faster than expected. It could definitely wait.

"Then I'll leave it to you, Hagrid."

"Hehehe" Hagrid chuckled a few times, seeming very happy that he could help.

The matter of breeding the magic snail was temporarily left to Hagrid, and Dudley once again came to the Slytherin Chamber deeper in the basement.

After using the lighting technique to create a small sun in the middle of the secret room, he began to look around for something.

According to the basilisk, in addition to placing his knowledge in the Chamber of Secrets, Slytherin also placed his authority over Hogwarts in the Chamber of Secrets.

You just need to pass the trial first.

Dudley really wanted to gain access to Hogwarts.

Unfortunately, even with the help of the Data Magic Eye, nothing was found.

This is not the first time he has come here.

Since the basilisk crisis was resolved, it has come almost every day.

After repeated confirmations without success, Dudley went to the library, spent some time with Hermione, did his daily exercises after nightfall, and then returned to his bedroom.

As the light of the alchemy array flickered on the door, Dudley sat down on the table.

Line up two blue gems of different sizes.

Magic Crystal

Because of the consumption in making the red and white balls, one ball is much smaller than the other.

There were supposed to be three pieces, but one was made into a ring by Dudley and given to Hermione.

Then Dudley produced a ball of silver metal and an emerald.

These are the materials obtained by decomposing the Ravenclaw Diadem.

Mithril and gems that contain a certain amount of magical power.

This was far from over, as Dudley pulled out another object.

I have hardly used it since I took it from Ollivander. It is just a wand for show.

Iron birch, Thestral tail feathers, nine inches.

Dudley still remembers the excitement he felt when he first got it.

It's a pity that I couldn't use it to cast any magic.

The wand looked shiny and without any damage, and it was obviously well maintained.

Dudley placed the wand with the materials.

He wanted to try to modify his wand.

With the ability to transform magic equipment, it is not impossible to create a magic item that can cast spells automatically, just like the red and white ball.

Of course, Dudley also took out the third philosopher's stone.

This Philosopher's Stone has not been processed and retains its original ruby ​​appearance.

When he took out the third Philosopher's Stone, the ring accidentally touched it.

In an instant, the three Philosopher's Stones emitted a faint red light at the same time.

Before Dudley could react.

He suddenly felt dazed and a faint voice sounded in his ears.

Gradually, gradually.

He seemed to see a huge, antique door slowly emerging before his eyes.

Chapter 171 You are already a mature door of truth

"Door?"

Dudley shook his head and became much more clear-headed.

When he came to his senses, he found that he was no longer in the bedroom.

It was as if my soul had left my body and in the blink of an eye I arrived in a strange place.
