Hagrid raised the bottle above his head, staring at the ruby-red liquid inside in confusion, and muttered, "Special rat tonic?"

He just found out today that even pet mice have tonics, and they are special ones too.

Hagrid looked again at the bottle in his hand.

He didn't doubt Kyle's words, because it took more than half an hour from the beginning to the end of the brewing process. It took such a long time to produce one bottle, so the quality must be good.

He just didn't understand.

After all, mice were the most common and cheapest kind of pets. In Diagon Alley, their price was less than half of that of toads, and even less expensive than a bag of better owl food.

In addition, pet mice have the shortest lifespan, generally only seven years... It is worth mentioning that the little wizard also spends seven years studying at Hogwarts.

Other pets... like toads or cats can live for more than ten years, and owls even longer.

Therefore, few young wizards would pay attention to those mice, let alone spend money to make customized tonics for them.

"Yes." Kyle put the furnace and crucible back into the bag, stood up and said, "This is prepared for the Weasley family's pet rat. It has been several years. Before, Percy would come to me to get it at the beginning of each school year."

"I just remembered that the rat has become Ron's pet this year, and Percy seems to have forgotten to tell him about it."

"The Weasley rat?"

Hagrid didn't know Percy very well, but he knew Ron, the youngest Weasley boy, who had come with Harry yesterday.

But did he have a pet mouse? Hagrid thought about it carefully, and vaguely remembered that Ron's pockets were indeed bulging when he came, but the next second, he was not so sure.

The main reason was that his attention was almost entirely on Harry at the time, and he didn't pay too much attention to Ron, so it was normal that he couldn't remember clearly.

Hagrid returned the bottle to Kyle and asked, "Do you know how to make tonics for other pets besides rats?"

"Of course, all four types of pets specified by Hogwarts are acceptable."

"What about the others, like magical beasts and the like?" Hagrid asked again.

"Magical animals are OK." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "But it depends on what kind. Large magical animals like Fluffy won't work... Of course, they don't need to drink any tonics."

"Where's the spider?" Hagrid blurted out.

Kyle looked at him and asked thoughtfully, "What kind?"

"It's an acromant... um," Hagrid paused, suddenly became vague, and said hesitantly: "No, I mean, it's just an ordinary spider, but a little bigger."

"A little...bigger?" Kyle raised his eyebrows.

Hagrid nodded firmly, "Yeah, bigger!"

Kyle stared at Hagrid until he began to feel guilty, then he said in a long tone: "No..."

Hagrid just showed a little disappointment on his face when Kyle continued: "But... I can try to study it."

"What?" Hagrid asked subconsciously before he could react.

"Just make a few more attempts to see if you can prepare a tonic that's suitable for them." Kyle said, "I've done this a few times before. If you need me to, I can try."

Hagrid reacted and said in surprise, "That's great... I mean, if it's not too much trouble."

"Although it's not a problem, I can't guarantee how long it will take to give it to you." Kyle spread his hands and said, "It could be as fast as a month or as slow as a year. Anything is possible."

"That's okay," Hagrid said nonchalantly, "Do you need my help? Just tell me if you need any herbs, and I'll go find them deep in the Forbidden Forest."

Although most of the precious herbs were moved into the greenhouse by Professor Sprout, the Forbidden Forest was so large that he could always find them as long as he ran far enough.

Kyle frowned and said, "You have to find me a sample so I can try out the efficacy of the medicine."

Hagrid's eyes wandered as he said, "Um... can't we try with an ordinary... normal spider?"

"no!"

Kyle shook his head and said, “Different types naturally have different effects on herbs. Sometimes, even if it’s a little wrong, a tonic can turn into a poison.

Just like the roots of belladonna... it is a great tonic for the Mortra rats, but it will surely kill ordinary rats if they eat it."

"this……"

Hagrid hesitated suddenly.

He wanted spider tonic for a giant acromantula named Aragog.

That was the pet Hagrid had raised fifty years ago. It was very old now, and he had been wondering how to keep it alive for a few more years.

Spider tonic is a good idea.

But the problem is that the eight-eyed giant spider is not an ordinary magical animal, but a dangerous creature of level XXXXX, and it is forbidden to keep it.

Hagrid certainly wouldn't give it to Kyle.

He might be able to convince Aragog or his descendants not to harm Kael, but what if this was discovered by others?

Kyle will definitely be expelled by then, just like he was back then. At the same time, Aragog and his tribe in the Forbidden Forest will not escape the fate of being eliminated.

I don't know what he was thinking about, but Hagrid's expression became more and more determined.

But just when he was about to give up the spider tonic, he heard Kyle say thoughtfully:

"Wait...if it's a poisonous spider, then just using their venom would be fine."

Several times already, Hagrid's mood was like a roller coaster, just falling, then rising quickly again.

He looked at Kyle and said unhappily, "Could you please finish your words at once next time?"

"I don't want to either." Kyle explained, "It's mainly because I don't like spiders very much, and my knowledge of them is limited to a book I read a few years ago. It's been so long, and I need to think carefully before I can remember a lot of things."

Hagrid began to get nervous again.

"Then the venom you just mentioned..."

"This is true." Kyle stared at Hagrid and suddenly said with a smile: "It seems that you have a poisonous spider."

"No, I don't have any." Hagrid's voice suddenly became much louder, and he shook his head repeatedly and said, "I have a friend, yes...my friend likes poisonous spiders, and I always ask for him."

"Oh~~" Kyle suddenly said, "So he is your friend."

“No… that’s right.”

Hagrid's ears turned red, and he turned his head to the side, quickly changing the subject: "How much spider venom do you need? I'll go right away... er, I mean let him prepare it for you."

"It's hard to say. It depends on the efficiency." Kyle thought for a moment and said seriously, "But to be on the safe side, the more the better."
