Chapter 57 Moon Crazy Beast
Rolf is indeed going to cure this troll and release it back to the Forbidden Forest.
It almost attacked the students, but it was not killed.
Imagine that you were in your own cave, eating food and singing, and then you were caught by wizards and thrown into Hogwarts Castle. How would you feel?
From a certain perspective, this troll is as unlucky as the tigers that attacked tourists who climbed over the wall to enter the zoo.
So, Rolf plans to tame this troll and release it back to the Forbidden Forest, let it return to the troll tribe, and it would be best if it could become the boss.
In this way, when entering the Forbidden Forest in the future, there will be troll bodyguards. Although they are stupid, they have good combat effectiveness.
The advantage of being stupid is that it will attack whoever it attacks. Although it can't do fine work, it can still do rough work.
But the disadvantage of being stupid is that it is very difficult to tame the troll. Only by beating it a few more times can it improve its memory.
After Halloween, the autumn is getting stronger and the weather suddenly becomes cold.
The school was covered with ice and snow. The surface of the Black Lake was as cold and hard as quenched steel, and the ground was also covered with frost.
The leaves on the trees had all fallen, leaving only the golden oranges and crisp persimmons hanging high on the branches, swaying firmly in the bleak autumn wind, and occasionally falling, picking a lucky little wizard and hitting him on the head.
Every day, everyone could see Hagrid's busy figure. He was wrapped in a long moleskin coat, wearing rabbit fur gloves, and wearing huge beaver fur boots, wrapping hemp rope around the trunks of some precious tree species.
In addition to being used for antifreeze protection, hemp rope can also prevent insects from drilling into the bark to spend the winter.
As the weather suddenly turned cold, Rove's Celia Magical Animal Store's business was getting better and better.
Most of the students bought breed animals, which were delicate and weak. The cold weather caused many pets to catch colds.
Rove's pet cold medicine was effective and cheap, and its reputation spread quickly. Every day, students came to him to buy medicine.
Filch, the administrator, seemed to have not noticed this unlicensed sale of potions. Well... he not only saw it, but occasionally helped maintain order to prevent the little wizard from causing traffic jams.
Who made his wife Norris sick? Rolf not only helped with a full-body check-up, but also gave away potions for free!
This kid is so good at dealing with things! !
Pet cold medicine is in short supply, and Rolf set up several large crucibles in the black suitcase, ready to brew on a large scale.
He occupied the lawn that the goblins loved the most. They always stood in groups beside the crucibles and cursed.
Rolf not only ignored their shouting, but also pinched the goblin that jumped the most happily, used it as a small stick, and poked it into a pile of moon beast feces.
Moon beasts are very shy and beautiful magical creatures that like to dance in the moonlight.
They also leave complex geometric patterns in the wheat fields, which are called crop circles by Muggles.
However, when Shirley was feeding in the morning, she found that a moon idiot had no appetite, so Rolf came to check if it was sick.
Observing feces is an effective way to check biological pathology.
Shirley was adding firewood to the campfire, feeling a little listless and wrapped tightly in her thin robe.
The salamander stood in the flames and spit a ball of flames in the shape of a blooming flower at her. Shirley grinned at the fire kiss.
The girl occasionally tiptoed and looked at the boy, a little curious, whether he would reach out to touch the feces and taste the saltiness, after all, he had been lying on the ground observing for five minutes.
Rolf certainly would not do this, that was Newt's specialty, it was said that just a taste could distinguish the food that the animal had eaten seven days ago.
Of course, the premise is that the animal has been constipated for more than seven days.
After observing for a long time, Rolf finally stood up, pulled out the goblin, threw it next to the crup, and then washed his hands and sterilized.
Shirley walked over slowly and asked softly, "What disease is it?"
"Myiasis." Rolf explained in an extremely professional tone, "The larvae of the tail maggot fly will develop in the gastrointestinal tract after being eaten by the Moon Beast."
Shirley took out a feather pen and notebook and wrote it down. She tilted her head and asked, "What is the treatment method?"
"The shed where the Moon Beast lives needs to be fully disinfected, the feed needs to be replaced, and the Moon Beast needs to be fed with ivermectin potion three times a day."
"Ivermectin?"
"There is no such potion on the medicine shelf." Rolf thought for a while and said, "I don't know how to brew it, so I can only buy it from Diagon Alley."
Shirley nodded, and she suddenly took out a handkerchief to cover her nose and sneezed several times.
Rolf looked at the sickly girl and asked with concern: "Are you catching a cold?"
Shirley waved her hand and said: "It's okay, I've already taken Madam Pomfrey's medicine."
The boy glanced at the girl's thin clothes and said: "You're wearing so little, it's strange that you don't catch a cold."
Shirley was silent.
"Didn't you bring thick clothes for autumn and winter?"
"I did." Shirley's pale face turned red: "But I took it out and tried it yesterday, and found that it was a circle smaller and couldn't fit anymore."
"That's because you were too thin before, and you ate better in Hogwarts, so you gained a little weight." Rolf looked at Shirley's thin figure and said:
"Of course, you're still very thin now, you have to eat more."
"I've tried very hard." The girl smiled softly.
"Why didn't you buy new clothes?" Rolf took the notebook and feather from her hand and helped her remember. "Didn't I pay you a salary?"
"Can we leave school and go to Hogsmeade to buy clothes? I thought only third-year students could go." Shirley frowned.
Luo Fu started writing in his notes, and he said softly: "You don't have to go in person, you can use an owl to send a letter to Madam Malkin's shop."
"As for the size of the clothes, I don't know what size I am now."
The young man kept writing, raised his head slightly and said:
"Mrs. Malkin will send a magic ruler with the letter. The ruler will automatically measure the size for you. You just need to send back the reward and the ruler."
Shirley was a little shy and a little aggrieved. She grew up in a convent and had no idea that she could buy clothes like this. She thought she had to go to the store by herself.
Luo Fu looked at the girl, who looked like an old lady who didn't know how to shop online. He sighed and said, "I'll place the order for you. After buying it once, you will be familiar with it from now on.
But even so, it will take four or five days at the fastest. It will be colder tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You just wear this, go to class every day, and drink medicine every day to get through it? "
The girl was silent again.
"follow me."
Luofu turned around and walked into the wooden house. He opened a wooden cabinet, rummaged inside, and found a set of snow-white clothes.
"This is a garment made of unicorn fur. It's very warm."
Luo Fei took the clothes, gestured to the girl and said: "Although it is a lot bigger, it is hidden under the robe and no one can see it."
He threw it over. Shirley hurriedly caught the soft clothes and gently put them back on the bed. She shook her head and said, "No need."
"It's not a gift to you. I'm just going to let you wear it for a few days. When you buy your new clothes, you still have to give them back to me." Luo Fu crossed his arms and said:
"Don't worry, even though it's old, I've actually only worn it once, last year. This dress is not divided into men's and women's styles, so don't worry about it."
Shirley covered her mouth and coughed a few more times. Her face turned slightly red and she insisted, "No need!"
"I'm afraid that if you continue to be sick, it will affect your work status!" Luofu said with a straight face, "You are obviously not in good condition today."
The girl blinked, but she was not afraid of him.
"Then let me tell Hermione and let her lend you some thick clothes?"
"Don't tell Hermione!" Shirley said quickly, "She will be angry if she knows I'm sick but didn't tell her."
"Then put it on, I won't tell anyone else."
The girl bit her lip, looked at him, and said nothing.
The two people stared at each other.
Rolf discovered an interesting phenomenon. When Shirley was silent, her temperament was very cold, but the girl was actually very nervous. When she was nervous but deliberately concealed it, her ears would be extremely red.
The girl was finally defeated and could only nod in agreement.
"Just put it on right here. Your work for today is over. I'll do the rest in the evening." Luo Fu stretched his waist and said:
"I'm going out now. I'll leave the box here for now. I'll pick it up from the Ravenclaw table during the dinner."
Shirley hummed and asked in a muffled voice: "What are you going to do?"
"Professor Dumbledore came to see me, but for some reason, the meeting place was Professor Snape's office."
After the boy climbed out of the box along the stairs, Shirley was still standing there. She looked at the precious unicorn dress and rubbed her hot cheeks.
After an unknown amount of time, she raised her head and saw the group of goblins carrying the cauldron boldly and preparing to throw it out.
The girl picked up an old baseball bat and rushed over at a trot.
The ponytail swayed slightly behind her back.
