Harry has never missed Hagrid so much!
Of course, this was not because he was coveting Hagrid's super muscular body. Even though Harry had become a lot stronger now, he was still a small piece of meat in Hagrid's hands, with one or at most two fingers. The kind that can be suppressed.
What Harry coveted was Hagrid's extremely unscientific but magical cross-creation hybridization technology. Here, an important symbol needs to be drawn, cross-biology hybridization.
There is no shortage of synthetic creatures in the wizarding world, the most famous of which is the basilisk. Legend has it that a seven-year-old rooster laid a magic egg when it was in the sky of Sirius, and a toad hatched it. However, this legend is unreliable. According to " According to the introduction to the reptile chapter in "Where to Find the Fantastic Creatures", the basilisk is a synthetic creature created by a wizard using a dark wizard and a curse. It is the carrier of the curse and a container with vitality, similar to a Horcrux. , but it does not contain a soul, but a terrifying instant death curse that can kill the body.
These creatures have one thing in common, that is, they do not have the possibility of reproduction. Basilisks can only be man-made. After the death curse disappears and no longer appears, no new basilisks are born in the world.
In contrast, the Chimera, which has the head of a lion, the body of a goat, and the tail of a fire dragon, is actually a natural life that can reproduce itself. Among magical animals, there are countless creatures with suture characteristics. They all continue to reproduce through natural reproduction. This is true for the new species born, the manticore, and the hippogriff.
Reproductive isolation does exist, but unlike ordinary creatures, magical creatures with magic in their bodies can always do some weird things, just like wizards can do many weird things with magic. With the random mixing, any kind of miracle may happen.
But this probability is extremely low, so low that we can only wait for the birth of this miracle through natural selection.
In the history of the wizarding world, no one has ever truly succeeded in breeding a new species, except for Hagrid, who made an unimaginable cross between a fire crab and a manticore, and successfully created a new species that lays eggs. Species - Blast-tailed snail!
And it was a big box. If you were lucky, having one would be a big deal. However, what Hagrid got was a whole box of snails, enough for dozens of young wizards from two colleges to have one for each class. Only so much.
Although the blast-tailed snails have been bred one after another due to extremely incorrect breeding methods, it is undeniable that Hagrid has added a strange new member to the list of magical creatures.
To be honest, Harry thought this was a major event that could go down in the history of magical biology, but it was a pity that Hogwarts didn't have anyone who knew the stuff.
Before, Hagrid was Harry's thigh. With Hagrid around, the Forbidden Forest was Harry's back garden kitchen. However, now, Hagrid has successfully transformed into a golden 24K solid gold thigh in Harry's heart!
Magic that belongs to the power of the spiritual side makes no sense at all. In many cases, feeling is more useful than experience, and Hagrid has that weird talent that others don't have.
Think about it, what is a manticore? That guy is more than two meters tall at the shoulders, not counting the curled scorpion tail, and is an apex predator with a body length of four to five meters. He has a powerful anti-magic thick skin that is immune to any known magic, and a highly toxic scorpion tail venom. The thorn puts him at the top of the magical creature food chain, but what about the fire crab?
This group of weak chickens who look like turtles with shells covered with various jewels were almost killed by wizards just because they could sell turtle shells at a good price. If it weren't for the fact that they laid eggs, they could jump after unloading their goods. With the emergence of a dozen or dozens of chickens, coupled with the subsequent legal protection and the rise of the breeding industry, this group of short-legged chickens who can only slowly jump forward by spraying sparks from their buttocks have long since died.
Even if we don't talk about their combat prowess, the disparity in their physiques is not something that can be easily matched. The keys and locks are not matched. Even the Manticore's arm-thick key is already comparable to the Fire Crab's tortoise-like key. The caliber of the head is gone.
That Hagrid could make these two things work together and finally give birth to a brood of Blast-Ended Skrewts that looked neither like their father nor their mother was truly the most bizarre miracle in the history of the wizarding world.
This kind of outrageous crossbreeding can be done. If you throw the Thunderbird, Fire Dragon and other things together and mix them together, it doesn't seem to be a big problem to give birth to a Thunderbird, right?
In this way, whether it's strength, speed, or even flight ability, you can get it all. If you're running out of energy, you can stuff a super-lasting standby Thestral into it and keep it flying in the sky for three days and three nights without landing.
Thinking of this, Harry's saliva couldn't stop flowing down, and even his favorite German pork knuckle almost stopped his mouth.
After a long burp, the dishes that originally filled the entire table were wiped out. Although the two little lolita fought hard, they could only taste a little of each dish. They were not like Harry. The two of them have been watching Harry's performance since the middle of lunch.
"Is there a traceless stretching spell cast on your stomach?"
After the table was cleared, Luna, who looked curious, reached out and poked Harry's stomach. Some of the hard muscles didn't feel good to the touch, but there was no exaggerated bulge.
"Probably because of practice."
Harry, who had eaten and drank enough, looked a little lazy. Now he was not the weakling who almost died after eating a Trophinosaurus heart. As the level of demonization in his body increased, he was getting closer and closer. Magical creatures', strictly speaking, wizards are also a type of magical creatures, but wizards are at the bottom of the evolutionary chain.
Especially after learning about the existence of Awakeners, Harry even believed that today's wizards have not actually completed the true evolution of magic. In addition to having skills in using magic that other magical creatures cannot match, Harry even believes that wizards today have no skills in using magic that other magical creatures can match. They are all completely destroyed.
In the ordinary world, humans still occupy the first position in heat dissipation and endurance, but wizards have no advantage in terms of physical fitness.
"Because of the heavy training volume, I ate about fifteen kilograms of pure meat every day when I was in school last year. Without enough energy to supplement, I should be doing it alone now."
"As I eat, my digestion speed increases. If I say that my stomach is actually empty now, would you believe it?"
"Pa bang bang~"
Luna patted Harry's belly curiously, and even listened seriously.
"Yeah, I believe it."
Ginny, who couldn't answer the conversation at the side, was slightly dazed. As Luna's best friend since childhood, she was actually very used to such strange conversations, but just for a moment, she covered her face and felt inexplicably shy. , while shaking her head and muttering quietly, the box door was knocked again, and after seeing the person coming, Ginny's face suddenly turned from red to white, and then immediately turned red again.
The twins who opened the door immediately crowded next to Ginny as soon as they saw her.
"It's Harry who's alive! Ginny, you--yeah-yeah-yeah."
Before the twins could start teasing their sister, their sister grabbed both of their ears with one hand in a very familiar manner. This was exactly the same as Mrs. Weasley's, which made the twins reflexively show a flattering smile. They subconsciously Opening:
"We were wrong!"
"Huh? What's wrong?"
Even Ginny, whose tone was so imitative, seemed to be possessed by Mrs. Weasley, but unfortunately, the twins reacted immediately after being stunned. While crying and showing submissiveness, they secretly made love to each other. With his eyes, he took out a jar from his clothes as fast as lightning.
"We shouldn't sneak snacks."
"Give it all to you, give it all to you."
Fred raised a jar of cockroaches in front of Ginny. George unscrewed the cap of the bottle. The chocolate cockroach, who was already eager to try, made a rustling sound when crawling. Ginny was frightened and screamed. Opened his mouth.
However, the twins said quietly: "They will fly in."
"Woo~"
Ginny covered her mouth with a look of horror on her face, swallowing the rest of her scream.
"Dang~dang~"
The twins, who had been hit on the head by two fingers, covered their heads and lay on the ground. The severe pain from their brains turned them into two caterpillars in an instant. The twins, who were crying in pain, looked up at Harry with innocent faces. , they are still a little confused now.
"Bullying my sister in front of me?"
"Let's go out! Let's go out and talk!"
The bewildered twins came to their senses after a brief daze, and immediately panicked, they struggled in vain.
"Spare your life, Captain!"
"Ginny, you can't just die without saving me!"
"We were wrong—oooooooooo."
Looking at the suddenly quiet carriage, Ginny threw herself into Luna's arms and laughed so hard that her whole body twitched. After a while, she raised her head and snorted towards the corridor: "Two bad guys deserve it!"
