A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 315 The Eight-Eyed Giant Spider Elimination Plan

With Dumbledore's return, the previously tense and oppressive atmosphere at the school vanished instantly.

On the morning he appeared, he restored the bridge that had been destroyed by the bomb at the entrance.

All the students cheered loudly. The attack on the castle by the beasts was terrifying. Everyone was trembling in the auditorium last night.

As long as Dumbledore is around, the students will feel safe!

Actually, even when the principal wasn't around, the professors were well protected.

The professors worked together seamlessly, successfully defending the bridge, and no animal was able to break through their defenses.

Professor McGonagall, having played all night, reluctantly sent the guardian sculptures back to their original positions in the castle.

She smacked her lips, savoring the taste.

Looking forward to the next time, I can get together with the animals in the forbidden forest again... It was truly thrilling and exciting!

Of course, the meat of those animals was also quite delicious. The financially savvy Vice Principal McGonagall secretly did another little calculation.

This will save the school kitchen a significant amount of money on food supplies.

Of course, the money saved should be spent; it's taxpayers' (school board) money, so why not spend it?

She could buy some precious alchemy materials and tinker with them to make a batch of small armored guards, which she placed in the common rooms of several colleges.

Similar to the large Wizard's Chess set placed in the restricted area on the fourth floor last year.

That way, if anyone tries to break into the common room next semester, they will be attacked by the guards!

Professor McGonagall suddenly became happy again.

Sprout and Snape were both very happy.

Professor Sprout somehow acquired a large flag with a honey badger depicted on it, roaring furiously.

She waved her flag, stood atop a pile of dead Tepo warthogs, and shouted, "Staff in hand, follow me!"

Sprout is preparing to lead everyone into the Forbidden Forest for a massive cleanup, turning it into a 5A-level scenic area.

Her lifelong dream was that the herbs of the magical world would never be attacked by magical creatures.

My second wish is to turn the forbidden forest into a large-scale herb cultivation base.

Professor Snape was also enthusiastically organizing the Slytherin snakes to search for the corpses of various magical creatures for him.

Many of them are magical ingredients, the kind that can be used to brew potions.

This is the true secret to wizarding wealth.

"Oh ho, found a complete shapeshifting lizard carcass... Not bad, Malfoy. Its scales are very useful. Slytherin, five points!"

Professor Snape is secretly planning to boost Slytherin's House Score by manipulating the system.

Last night, Shit and his friends set off fireworks outside the castle, waking up the professors and stopping the beast horde's attack... This definitely deserves extra credit.

Although Snape believed that they were wandering in the Forbidden Forest and should not only not gain any points, but should also lose 100 points each, no one listened to him.

In addition, with Potter and Shitty saving the "world" in the Chamber of Secrets, Dumbledore will surely shamelessly boost their scores again.

Several houses offer bonus points, except for Slytherin!

There's a kind of pain called being a student at someone else's academy!

If I don't take advantage of this opportunity to improve my score, not only will I be at the bottom, but I'll also be hundreds of points behind the third-place player. Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing?!

Snape was a respectable man; he couldn't afford to lose face like that.

This shameless behavior naturally met with unanimous opposition from professors in other colleges.

Professor McGonagall even threatened to take everything away before Snape reluctantly began to restrain himself.

A higher-ranking official can have absolute power over you!

Snape decided to have a frank talk with Dumbledore about the issue of promotion and a raise.

He also wanted to be the vice principal, or at least a senior secretary position.

Professor Lockhart became a missing person, and despite a long search, he could not be found.

Some students saw him secretly leave the school during the beast tide attack.

In the Great Hall, Dumbledore announced Lockhart's dismissal, and the students erupted in cheers, with several teachers also applauding.

William sighed, guessing Lockhart had become the second Quirrell, taken away by Tom.

That's terrible!

However, no one asked William for the huge pile of shampoo he had swindled.

That's good news.

Lockhart's disappearance means that Dumbledore will once again be posting job ads for young men on telephone poles and in newspaper corners.

Who knows who will be the next unlucky one?

Anyone who dares to take over the position of Defense Against the Dark Arts professor is either a dark wizard, not very bright, or extremely short of money.

I wonder what kind of person the new teacher will be!

In the afternoon, Haig returned from Azkaban. His face was streaked with tears, and he had lost a lot of weight.

However, he was in good spirits, after all, he had been exonerated after carrying a criminal charge for fifty years.

William, Cedric, and Cho went to visit him.

Ya Ya was extremely excited. Finally, it didn't have to eat cold dog food every day and sleep huddled in the pumpkin by the door.

Autumn told Hagrid last night.

Hagrid murmured incredulously, "I didn't know Aragog would do such a thing. He clearly told me he wouldn't hurt anyone!"

William outwardly comforted Hagrid, but behind the scenes he devised a comprehensive plan to gradually eliminate the eight-eyed giant spider and restore peace and order to the Forbidden Forest!

There are too many of those things; it's not a good thing.

Of course, the giant spider is a treasure trove: its leg hair can be used to make wands, its thick shell and venom are rare materials, its spider silk can be added to potions, and it can be combined with unicorn hair to make gorgeous robes.

The thigh meat of the eight-eyed giant spider is delicate and nutritious, and can be stably supplied to the Hogwarts kitchen.

This is a complete industrial chain with broad market prospects and amazing profits!

If William is influential enough, he could even form a strategic partnership with Professor Snape.

The professor used the school's (school board's) money to buy Venom at a high price, and then the two secretly split the profits 30/70.

Selling maps doesn't earn you much money; it's much more lucrative than selling giant eight-eyed spiders!

disobedient?

William has a basilisk, and Tom can threaten Aragog, so why can't he?!

To paraphrase the Far Eastern shaman Lu Shuren: "If a monk can touch it, why can't I?"

From now on, when William enters and leaves the Forbidden Forest, he will no longer walk, but will use the giant spider to get around!

Hagrid, unaware of the agony Aragog was about to endure, excitedly exclaimed:

"My criminal record has been cleared, Professor Kettleburn is confirmed to retire at the end of this semester, and I can apply to be a teacher who protects magical creatures."

Hagrid rubbed his hands together.

"To be honest, I've thought of several pretty good magical creatures that will really broaden your horizons!"

William, Cedric, and Cho exchanged an uneasy glance.

Qiu Zhencheng suggested, "Hagrid, I think it's better to take it slow."

We're all novice wizards; it's not appropriate to start teaching powerful magical creatures right away.

"Of course," Hagrid chuckled. "Would I teach you how to raise dragons?"

Even if I wanted to, I wouldn't have a fire dragon.

"..."

Hagrid picked up his little handkerchief with silk flowers and couldn't help but sob. He thought of his unborn child—the Norwegian Spinosaurus!

He sobbed, "My poor Norbert, he was born without a mother, he must be so lonely..."

The three nodded numbly.

If Norbert were still alive... William could keep drawing dragon blood; Cedric would have the dragon nerves to make wands; and Cho could show off the cooking skills she learned at home.

From this perspective, it is indeed regrettable.
