That night, Kyle, who had been well behaved for two weeks, took the Marauder's Map and couldn't wait to open the door of the library.

The new bookshelf in the box has been made. It can't be left empty forever, so Kyle plans to fill it up in the remaining half semester.

Although this task is a bit difficult, as long as he sleeps one hour less every day and works a little harder, he should be able to complete it.

Kyle took his wand and walked to the restricted books area with ease.

But this time he did not take the books from the shelf in the same order as before. Instead, he carefully identified the name of each book, and only took out the ones he needed and put them aside.

After more than half an hour, Kyle found three books in total, and they were all related to the basilisk.

"Fatal Sight"

Medieval Exploration: The Vanishing Ancient Species

How to Make a Rooster Lay Eggs

But there seems to be something strange mixed in here.

Kyle took the last book with a black cover, which was as thick as a notebook, and wondered how it got into the restricted area.

But Newt and Hagrid will probably like this book very much, so I can copy it down now and give it to them as a Christmas gift next year.

Because it had been a long time since he came here for a night tour, and he read a lot of books this time, Kyle stayed in the library until dawn.

In the next few days, he returned to his busy state before the holiday.

Quidditch practice has begun again.

Fortunately, Harris's requirements for them are not as strict as those for other teams. Even when the game is approaching, they still only have regular training three times a week.

In contrast, Gryffindor is different. In order to play in the next game, Wood has become so desperate that he trains almost every afternoon.

Even on the rainy days after the heavy snow, Kyle could see them on the Quidditch pitch.

Fred and George complained to them more than once that Wood was becoming a training maniac and didn't care about their lives at all.

Fred also said that if they continued like this, they would all have to be admitted to the school hospital before the game even started.

However, Kyle had reason to suspect that they were playing a self-torture trick, after all, the next game was between Hufflepuff and Gryffindor.

In addition to Quidditch training, Kyle would also take time to visit Hagrid's Hut on weekends.

Because he found that ever since Hagrid began to pay attention to the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, all kinds of surprises always appeared in his cabin.

"Here you go, Kyle. Unicorn tail hair."

Inside the house, Hagrid poured Kyle a cup of tea and gave him a small bag. "I remember you liked these things, so I collected some for you. They all fell naturally."

Kyle took the bag, opened it and took a look... There were more than a dozen long silver hairs in it, and they were in perfect condition.

"So many..." Kyle asked in surprise, "Did you pick these up recently?"

Unicorns don't shed as much hair as cruppies, especially their tail hair... Without the intervention of a wizard, it would take about half a year for only one hair to fall off.

I didn't expect Hagrid could pick up so much in just a few weeks. Could there be a colony of unicorns in the Forbidden Forest?

"There were originally more, but I didn't find them. The rest are all here, so I'll give them to you."

"Okay..." Kyle curled his lips.

I can only say that he is worthy of being Hagrid. It’s okay for him to use unicorn hair to weave a cushion, but he actually complains that the color of the tail hair is too bright. I’ve learned something new.

"By the way, Kyle..."

At this moment, Hagrid suddenly said awkwardly, "How's the spider tonic I asked you to give me earlier?

Of course, I don't mean to rush you, I'm just curious... yes, I'm asking out of curiosity."

"Almost." Kyle thought for a moment and said, "I did a test on Lee Jordan's bag spider and the result was quite good.

All we need to do next is add the eight-leaf flower, but this plant is rare and it will take two weeks for Diagon Alley to deliver it."

Eight-leaf flower is a very fragile material. It is only useful when it is fresh. It is also very demanding on the growing environment. Incorrect light and temperature may cause it to wither quickly.

Therefore, those potion shops usually do not prepare stocks in the store. Generally, they take orders and pick them when they are needed.

Of course, its price is not cheap, one plant costs twenty-nine Galleons, and you have to pay first, and no returns are accepted.

Despite this, Kyle placed the order without hesitation.

Not to mention the dozen or so unicorn tail hairs now, even compared with the nearly two pints of Acromanthus venom that Hagrid gave him before, these are just small money.

"Eight-leaf flower..." Hagrid thought for a moment and asked, "Is it the kind of plant with eight leaves, purple in the middle and yellow or red on the outside?

"Yes, when they mature, the petals will turn from red to yellow." Kyle said, "Could there be such plants in the Forbidden Forest?"

"That's right." Hagrid nodded and said, "I also saw it yesterday when I was patrolling the Forbidden Forest. It's near where the Unicorns live."

"Can you take me there?" Kyle asked expectantly, "I promise I won't run around."

"No!" Hagrid refused without hesitation.

The unicorn lives deep in the Forbidden Forest, which is too dangerous. There is no way he would agree to let Kyle go there.

"I can bring it to you in a few days, if you need it," said Hagrid.

"Yes, of course." Kyle nodded repeatedly and said, "But when you go to collect those eight-leaf flowers, it's best to dig them out with the soil. The more soil the better. Also, remember to write me a letter in advance. I'll wait for you at the cabin."

Hagrid nodded and took note of Kyle's words carefully.

"You're digging with the soil, right? No problem. By the way, eight... ahem, do you still need the spider's venom?"

"What you gave me before was enough." Kyle shook his head.

Although Hagrid himself might not mind, Kyle felt embarrassed to keep taking advantage of him.

Besides, the venom of the Acromantula is not used very often, and one pint is enough for him to use until graduation.
