The Day of the Draw at Hogwarts

Chapter 46 The Hatching of Birds and Snakes

Facing the little wizard who appeared in the library early in the morning, Mrs. Pince was not moved by: "Ah, these children are working really hard." Instead, she had the strange emotion of "You students have come to damage my books again."

Mrs. Pince loves books very much, but in her eyes, it is best for a book to be kept brand new. Everyone turning it over once is the greatest damage to the book. This is why she doesn't like the little wizard.

After being interrogated by Mrs. Pince, Tom and Hermione finally entered the library. They first picked up a few books on magical animals, and then found an inconspicuous corner to sit down.

"Raising Fantastic Beasts, Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, Magical Creatures Laying from Eggs: From Hatching to Burial..." Hermione was speechless, what are you doing with these books? Among them, the only one "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" seems to be more reliable. Hermione looked thoughtfully at the series of "raising" and "hatching" in the book list.

Suddenly, a flash of light flashed through her mind, and she deduced something terrible.

"You want to find a way to hatch that silver egg you got from Diagon Alley?" She lowered her voice and looked at Tom.

Tom confirmed her idea, "And I got two bottles of assisted hatching potion. Now I need to find out how to use this potion..."

Hermione suddenly became interested, and she began to quickly flip through the books that Tom got from the bookshelf, trying to find clues about "promoting the hatching of egg-laying magical animals" between the lines.

"...Wizards in the Middle Ages would put fire dragon eggs in the fire, because the female dragon would breathe on them when she hatched her own eggs... This doesn't seem to work, because I saw that there is no such thing in the book "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" Birds and snakes are said to be very heat-resistant.”

"Look at this, ancient Roman priests would mix volcanic ash collected in the wild with water and apply it on the eggs to be hatched. They said that this would bring together the four elements of earth, water, fire and wind, which would be conducive to the hatching of the eggs. "Tom pointed to a sentence in the book and asked Hermione to analyze it.

"So maybe you need to apply potion on the eggs of birds and snakes? Wait! I have the original text here: Prepare two potions and apply them on the eggs at the turn of the sun and the moon to complete the hatching." Hermione said The answer was found in "Fantastic Beasts that Lay Eggs".

"The alternation of sun and moon? Isn't that morning and dusk?" Tom frowned. He planned to try it tonight. After finding the answer they needed, the two people's minds were no longer on the book, but flew to the silver egg.

After the afternoon flying lesson ended, Tom and Hermione found an abandoned classroom with no one around and waited quietly for dusk to fall.

Tom watched the sun gradually disappear into the horizon, and immediately took out the red potion bottle, pulled out the stopper, and took a look at the potion inside. The potion is very viscous, and I don't know if the water inside has evaporated because it has been left for too long.

"Will this potion lose its effectiveness after being stored for a long time..." Tom felt guilty, while Hermione took out the book and read it carefully several times before shaking her head. The original text did not mention the shelf life of the potion.

Tom thought to himself, you are a serious system, you can't reward me with expired potion, right? In addition, it had been three months since he had the egg, and there was no reaction at all. If he waited any longer, it might become a stillborn fetus, so he could only bite the bullet and use this bottle of potion that he didn't know when it was produced.

Tom dropped the magic potion on the eggs of birds and snakes, and it felt inexplicably like eggs soaked in rice porridge. The moment the potion touched the eggshell, it was sucked in. When the whole bottle of potion was poured out, the appearance of the bird and snake egg remained unchanged, but it felt warm to the touch and seemed to have a beating heart.

"I will get up early tomorrow morning, still in this classroom, and hatch the bird and snake eggs completely." Tom put away the bird and snake eggs and left the classroom with Hermione. But instead of going back to the lounge directly, he found a reason to separate from Hermione: he was going to receive two other mission prizes.

One of them is hidden in the Room of Requirement - Tom is also convinced, why are all the rewards of this system placed in the Room of Requirement? Then you can just be a trash guy inside, what else is there to do?

However, when he found the mission reward under the guidance of the system, he gave up the idea: because the reward was a mediocre bottle of ink! There are not a thousand but eight hundred bottles of this ink in the Room of Requirement. I'll be damned if I can find it without guidance!

This bottle of ink can strengthen the five-star quill you drew that does not require ink. The method is also super simple, just dip the quill into the ink. Tom followed the system's instructions and inserted the quill into the ink bottle, and something magical happened: the ink was quickly absorbed by the quill, just like a sponge absorbing water. The black ink climbed up along the texture of the quill pen. Eventually, all the ink in the ink bottle was absorbed, and the entire pen was dyed ink. It looked better than the previous white one, and the pen also felt a bit eerie. .

But soon, the ink on the quill faded away like a tide, and the entire quill turned white again, returning to its ordinary appearance.

Tom picked it up and saw that the notes on it in the system had changed [Quill Pen (Five Stars - Refined 2): A quill pen that can write without ink and can correct the user's grammatical errors]

"This is okay!" Tom's eyes lit up. This quill is very good. His current problem is that when answering questions, he is too colloquial and has a lot of grammatical errors. Sometimes, he would write a sentence like this: It is said in the title that only by increasing the firepower can the reaction be accelerated. The quill will automatically change for him: It can be seen from the question that only by increasing the firepower can the reaction be accelerated.

It can be said to be very convenient, and Tom needs this exactly.

The hidden reward is finally no longer hidden in the Room of Requirement, but in a corridor on the 7th floor of Hogwarts Castle. The system did not point out the location, but asked Tom to look for abnormalities in the corridor. Tom walked around the corridor twice and felt something was wrong. When he looked carefully, he saw something strange: there was a strange portrait with a group of people and a lot of corpses in it. Strangely, the corpse and the character's face are identical.

Tom walked up to the portrait and subconsciously stretched out his hand, but in the end he stopped. After about a second, the system jumped out of the promotion [Quest Copy: Shallow Shore Polyester Unlocked, touch the portrait to enter the copy]

"F*ck! The system is cheating on me!" Tom was frightened for a while. If he hadn't stopped just now, he would already be in the dungeon! Tom said that now is not the time, and he needs to be well prepared before he can download the dungeon - and even if he wants to enter the dungeon, he must at least know what the rewards of the dungeon are, right?

A night of silence. The next day, Tom and Hermione arrived at the previous classroom before the sun rose. This road is very safe, because the administrator Filch also has to sleep. He may patrol at midnight, but never in the early morning.
