Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 618 Hairy Crabs and the Magical Zoo

"Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures?

I remembered!
It's a Slytherin dog!
They only get close to wizards and are very cruel to Muggles!
Plus the steel teeth that can bite iron as if it were bone, if you don't live in a pure wizard community like Hogsmeade. Or have a manor.

Then don't keep it.

This is a scam used by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures to make money.

Any wizard who wants to keep it needs to test it, and there is a fee for both testing and purchasing, and there is no refund if it fails.

And every crup has to have its tail removed, which is too cruel!" said Ernie.

However, he was looking at Neville when he said this.

It’s clearly not about bringing justice to these puppies or exposing a scheme to defraud money.

It's purely a personal grudge.

Neville's parents' awakening was reported in the Daily Prophet.

Their return to the Ministry of Magic was also widely publicized as a positive case for the Ministry of Magic.

Combined with Hagrid’s weirdness just now.

Ernie believed this was a political act.

And Neville is the supporting actor.

So he stood up to sabotage it.

Hermione also noticed this, "Ryan, Ernie likes Hannah too?"

"Obviously, but things won't develop the way he thinks. Look at Hagrid." Ryan pursed his lips.

"Ernie! His name is crup.

Don't use the name of our school!" (Lion raised his eyebrows. If it was Hagrid who hadn't met Draco yet, he probably wouldn't say that. Hagrid would even secretly approve of it.)
“Now the policy has changed.

The Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures works in partnership with the Muggle Liaison Office.

In the future, the crup breed will be registered in the Muggle world.

Well, this is also said to be scientific.

It can be said that it is because the twins merged.

It was supposed to develop into two puppies, but for some reason, it did not split normally in the dog's body, resulting in the deformity of the puppy.

So they don't need to have their tails removed anymore.

And that test has also changed.

It’s no longer about testing your dog’s obedience.

It's a test of your magical skills.

As long as you know a simple petrification spell, you can pass the test.

The price of the crup is also very cheap. As a magical creature that is easy to raise, it only costs 1 gold galleon. "

By now, almost everyone saw through Hagrid's purpose - to advertise for the crup.

However, no one paid much attention to this.

Except Ernie.

He glared at Neville fiercely and walked to the other side of the woods.

Justin and Dudley.

However, it seemed that Hagrid had not yet finished speaking.

"One thing to note. Just like raising a fortune-teller, they may have hairy crabs on them."

This caused many students from wizarding families to exclaim in surprise.

For example, Anthony was about to write a letter to the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures after class to order one, but he immediately canceled his decision.

Facing the doubts of Dudley and other Muggle-born wizards, Hagrid said: "Hairy crabs are very small parasites.

It resembles a crab in appearance, has long teeth, and is only one-twentieth of an inch long.

They are attracted to magic and can often be found in the fur of cruppies and the feathers of auguries.

They will destroy magic items like wands and cauldrons, chewing on wand cores, or feasting on potions left on cauldrons.

When not in use, the hairy crabs destroy Muggle electrical appliances from the inside out.

That's why Muggle electrical appliances suddenly malfunction." "Chasing magic?
But why aren't there any for wizards and other magical creatures?" Lisa asked.

"Because Augureys and Cuppies don't have the same magical abilities as other magical creatures.

The magic on them is more like a permanent state and will not cause changes in the magic magnetic field.

The fire-breathing of the fire crab and the flight of the hippogriff that we learned before are the same as when we cast magic, which will cause changes in the magical magnetic field.

The hairy crabs that have not eaten enough magical substances to swell up cannot withstand the changes in the magical magnetic field."

Susan, the real supporting actress, immediately started advertising: "For hairy crabs that have swelled up due to eating magical substances, you need to contact the staff of the Pest Advisory Office of the Department of Magical Creature Management and Control for treatment!"

"Is that you?" It was Ernie.

He looked at Susan in surprise.

He had thought it was Neville just now.

Hagrid quickly stepped forward, "Okay Ernie, let's get back to the topic.

Currently, hairy crabs can be treated with common chemicals on the market.

As long as you all pay attention to deworming before adopting a schnauzer, there will be no problem.

Moreover, the cruppies themselves were bred by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures.

The pest advisory staff will treat it before it is sold.”

So, after class.

Hagrid was surrounded by students who wanted to order cruppies.

Ryan looked at Hermione, whose eyes were sparkling with joy.

Ryan, who is a staunch cat supporter, said, "How about we go to Diagon Alley now?"

Then, before Hermione could answer.

He pulled Hermione across a gray film and appeared on the streets of Diagon Alley.

Directly opposite the two of them was a very small shop.

This is a shop located on the south side of Diagon Alley.

While everything around it is decorated like the future, it stubbornly maintains its original appearance.

The sign on the door was two flaking gold letters that read: Magical Menagerie
Same as Ollivanders Wand Shop.

"Who are you?" Hermione reacted belatedly.

The excitement of suddenly leaving school made Hermione's little face flushed.

"Hermione, I think you should choose a ridiculous racist dog instead.

Why not take a closer look to see if there is a pet that is more suitable for you." Ryan shrugged.

Walk into the store.

It's just as cramped inside as it looks from the outside.

No spell to expand the space was cast.

Every inch of the wall was covered with cages.

The store was smelly and noisy because the little creatures in the cages were making all kinds of noises.

However, the cages are no longer filled with the usual cats and dogs.

The animals for sale here are all very strange: two-headed, tailless newts, poisonous orange snails, giant tortoises with jewel-studded shells, sleek, clever black rats, owls, ravens, cats and toads of all colors, cattails, deformed rabbits, and more.

The most eye-catching one here is undoubtedly the transforming rabbit.

It looked like an ordinary white rabbit that was just a little fat, and it kept turning into a silk top hat and back again, making loud puffing sounds.

Seeing the two people come in, the witch behind the counter quickly said: “This is the shapeshifting rabbit.

They will remember the first transformable object they see after they are born.

This is my husband's top hat.

However, she immediately hesitated. She noticed Ryan and Hermione's attire. "Students of Hogwarts? You——"

When she moved from his clothes to Ryan's face, she stopped immediately.

“You just heard wrong!
I don't have a husband!
Merlin's beard!
I haven't put on any makeup yet!" She pulled out her wand and displayed the highest level of makeup magic in her life, while asking, "What's your name?
My name is Melina."
