The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter three hundred and sixty seventh salamander

As soon as he opened the door of the dormitory, Albert saw a dark shadow running past his feet, startling him. He thought his Tom was going to sneak out when the door opened, so he instinctively reached into his pocket. He was about to pull out his wand to summon Tom back, only to find something fluffy rubbing against his ankle.

"Okay, I'll go get you lunch."

Albert bent over to pick up Tom and lifted his foot to close the door.

He opened the drawer, which was full of cat food and canned cat food, reached out and pushed Tom's head away, took a can of cat food from it, opened the mixed cat food and put it in a bowl. Then, with a wave of his wand, he emptied the other bowl of water and replaced it with a new one.

"Looks like I'm going to ask how other people keep cats in the school." Albert waited for Tom to finish eating, then he picked it up and bumped the weight, which was still as heavy as ever.

"It's time for you to lose weight, let's go and take you to the common room, which will be your space for a long time to come."

After Tom is familiar with the dormitory, Albert will let him play in the Gryffindor common room, and then slowly expand the space for activities to gradually familiarize him with the environment of the castle, contact more students, and distinguish others. Good and evil to it, so as not to suffer in the future.

There were not many people in the Gryffindor common room at noon. Albert found an empty seat and sat down. He took out a pocket watch from his pocket and checked the time, preparing to let Tom move in the common room under his surveillance. , but he soon discovered that his cat didn't seem to be planning to wander around, but instead jumped onto the table next to Albert and just lay there and dozed.

"Sleep when you're full, you can really do it!"

Albert raised his hand and rubbed Tom's head, and sighed softly, "If you don't exercise, you'll get fat into a ball."

Someone next to him was covering his mouth and chuckling, looking at the fat cat here curiously, and whispering in a low voice. Albert turned his head and looked at the two young girls who were talking, whom he did not know.

Well, it should be a freshman in the first and second grades. The other party noticed that Albert turned his head to look over, and was a little embarrassed, so he quickly turned and walked away.

Albert retracted his gaze, took out a cat wand from his pocket, and tried to make his cat move.

After nearly an hour in the common room, Albert sent Tom back to the dormitory, and then used the time-turner to go back an hour.

He went directly to the school's library, only to find that Fred, George, and Lee Jordan hadn't arrived yet, and now he had to occupy a place for the three of them.

Not long after, the three people walked into the library one after another, still surprised that Albert arrived at the library one step ahead of them.

On the first day of school, the school library was full as always, and a bunch of people were rushing to do their holiday homework.

Fred was a little gloat about this, completely forgetting that he was one of them.

In the afternoon, the first lesson was on the protection of magical creatures, which was held in the open space on the edge of the forbidden forest. Professor Kettleb's reputation in the school was very good, and there were many students who signed up for this course.

The aging professor has been teaching at the school for many years, and he knows how to pique his students' interest in protecting magical creatures.

With the help of Hagrid, Professor Ketelber prepared a bonfire for everyone, and told them about the salamanders inside, and understanding the salamanders is today's content.

Everyone sat around the bonfire, observing the salamanders in the bonfire, and listening to Professor Kettleb's explanation of the magical animal salamander.

The way the class was taught was very interesting and immediately aroused everyone's interest.

Professor Kettleb pointed at the salamanders in the bonfire with a branch and told everyone: salamanders are born of flames and feed on flames. As long as the bonfire in front of them does not go out, they will continue to live.

"What if the flames go out?" a Ravenclaw girl asked, raising her hand.

"Salamanders die quickly after leaving the flames."

"Will they be too pitiful."

Sooner or later, the campfire will go out, which means that the salamanders in the campfire will soon die.

Professor Kettleb raised his hand and pressed it, signaling everyone to be quiet.

"If you give the salamanders the right amount of chili powder at regular intervals, you can delay their death, but they can only live for up to six hours," he told everyone. "I will kill the salamanders here after the campfire is out. Bringing them back, they usually require a wizard to create a special environment in order to survive."

This Albert knows, because salamanders represent the number 6 in the runic alphabet.

"Of course, when feeding chili powder to salamanders, you can't feed too much." Professor Kettleb demonstrated why you can't feed salamanders too much chili powder.

Salamanders that eat a lot of chili powder will have brighter skin, and will continue to spit out sparks from their mouths, igniting Professor Kettleb's white beard.

"That's it, you need to feed chili powder every ten minutes." Professor Kettleb patted off the sparks on his beard and threw the salamander back into the bonfire, "By the way, let the salamander live at room temperature. One hour is one of the exam questions at the end of the year."

In the next time, Professor Ketelber asked everyone to go to the edge of the forest to collect firewood leaves, let the fire burn more vigorously, and observe the color changes on the salamanders.

The color of the salamander will change with the heat of the flame. If the flame temperature is high, it will tend to be blue. If the flame temperature is low, it will gradually appear bright red. At room temperature, it will be bright orange red. .

Watching the salamanders jumping around in the crackling firewood was an interesting lesson for everyone.

Albert used his wand to fish a salamander out of the bonfire. After leaving the flame, its skin immediately turned a bright orange-red, and it was still a little hot in the palm of the hand.

Fred and the others immediately came together to observe the response of the salamander, feeling that its body was burning like flames.

The salamander quickly broke free from Albert's hand, fell on the ground and tried to run into the bonfire, only to be caught by Fred's tail.

The poor salamander just snapped its tail to escape, and soon got into the bonfire and disappeared.

Fred looked at the writhing lizard tail in his hand, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

"Hey, did the scales of a salamander rot? It actually lost its tail." Professor Ketelber said in surprise when he saw the tail on Fred's hand.

The latter's face was a little embarrassed. The salamander lost its tail, obviously it had nothing to do with the rotten scales.

"Salamanders, like fire dragons, may have rotten scales. Once the scales rot, they will lose their tails. If you keep salamanders and this happens again, you just need to rub it with paprika for treatment. That's it." Professor Kettleb said to the laughing students, "Why don't you write it down?"

"Sir, is there anything special about salamanders?" Fred dropped the tail and changed the subject. "I mean why do wizards keep them."

"Salamander blood has strong healing and healing properties, and can also be used to make a variety of potions. This is one of the reasons why wizards keep salamanders," explained Professor Kettleb.

"How do we get blood from salamanders?" Albert asked. "They don't look like they have a lot of blood on them."

"Very well, this is supposed to be something you'll learn next year. Of course, if you want to know." Professor Kettleb waved his wand, and a salamander flew out of the fire and landed on him hand.

"We said earlier that the salamander will die soon after leaving the flame, so you need to be fast enough when taking blood." Professor Kettleb took out a knife and a test tube, and showed everyone how to remove the fire from the fire. Blood drawn from lizards.

The method is very simple, just cut a knife on the tail of the salamander's back foot, and then slap it from head to tail like milking a cow.

Yes, it's that simple and rude.

As for hemostasis?

Well, salamander blood has a strong healing ability, and it won't take long for the wound to heal automatically.

"The strength must be moderate, otherwise it will cause the salamander's internal organs to rupture, although this will not kill them, but it will make the salamander very uncomfortable." Professor Keelber threw the blood salamander back into the bonfire and continued. , "It's best to wear gloves when taking blood, otherwise you may get burned."

"Of course, if you need salamander blood, you can buy it at the pharmacy, and a small bottle needs ten cigars."

"..." George mumbled something.

"Salamanders are easy to raise. The only problem is that the process of taking blood is complicated. Many wizards are reluctant to do this work. However, the blood of salamanders needs to be used in many places." Professor Kettleb said. Worried, he motioned for everyone to continue to observe the salamanders, it is best to observe how they eat.

Fred and George wanted to "rescue" the salamanders from the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, Albert scoffed at this, how could he not know Fred's character, so he simply refused to help them make bottles and can Blue flame in a bottle.

In the end, the twins had no choice but to give up and take the salamander away directly. It wouldn't live long at all.

"We just want a salamander," muttered Fred. "You have cats, Lee Jordan has spiders, and we don't have pets of our own."

"I don't think Snape would want you to bring that thing into the potions classroom," Albert reminded. "And, what do you want to feed it?"

"We just wanted to see what would happen if we put fireworks on the salamanders." George blinked and said honestly. Fred's words could not deceive Albert at all.

"It's a good idea." Lee Jordan's eyes lit up and he agreed, "We can try it with a salamander next time."
