"A Detailed Explanation of Asia's Magical Plants"
This was a book about herbs. Kyle flipped through it page by page and soon found what he really needed.
"ZG biting cabbage, an extremely dangerous and aggressive plant, was first discovered in..."
Kyle took out the parchment he had prepared in advance, used the copying spell to copy all the contents, and then left the library.
However, he did not return the book immediately, but planned to take it back and read it first. Who knows, maybe Professor Sprout will introduce some new varieties next time.
It will be so troublesome to have to borrow it again later.

Chapter 48: Moon Crazy Beast (Please collect and recommend)
Cedric had done very well in Quidditch tryouts.
It took him only five minutes to catch the Golden Snitch and he successfully became the new Seeker of the Hufflepuff team.
After that he had to be on the Quidditch pitch all afternoon because of his first group training.
Kyle only met him briefly during lunch.
"Fred and George don't know anyone in Slytherin either, but they said they would help us think of a solution."
Cedric stuffed a piece of steak in his mouth and said vaguely, "We are going to discuss it in the afternoon. Do you want to join us?"
"I……"
Before Kyle could say anything, a powerful voice came from the other end of the table.
"Come on, Cedric, we need to start training."
"Okay, Captain!"
Cedric swallowed the steak in his mouth with difficulty, drank a large glass of pumpkin juice, turned to Kyle and said, "I'm going to practice first. This year's Quidditch Cup must belong to Hufflepuff."
After saying that, he quickly ran towards the Quidditch field.
"whispering sound……"
Kyle curled his lips, not feeling envious at all.
What's so good about the school team? Not only do we have to train on weekends, but we can't even eat properly. Unlike him, he has enough time to savor the tender and juicy steak.
Kyle tapped the table and ordered himself a glass of lemonade to help him feel better.
In the afternoon, Kyle took the parchment and walked outside the castle.
Growing biting cabbage is more troublesome than he thought. This thing has very strict requirements on the environment and climate. Only a small number of herbal masters can transplant it outside of its place of origin.
However, the Room of Requirement can perfectly solve this biggest problem. Kyle only needs to deal with the fertilizer problem.
According to the description in "Detailed Explanation of Asia's Magical Plants", under natural conditions, it takes fifty days for the biting cabbage to germinate, and about two to three years to grow into a full-grown plant. The growth cycle is incredibly slow.
Kyle can't wait that long, he plans to speed up the seeds.
After leaving the castle, Kyle walked across the grass and came to a small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest.
The wooden house looked very old. The wood on the roof and walls had different shades of dark and light. It must have been repaired many times. There was a crossbow and a pair of rubber overshoes hanging in front of the door.
Kyle went up and knocked on the door.
"Who is it...Oh Fang, step back, you'll scare others."
Accompanied by a low dog barking, the wooden door opened a crack, revealing Hagrid's bearded face.
"Little wizard? What are you doing here?" Hagrid looked at Kyle and said with a straight face, "First-year students are not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest. Go back to the castle."
As he said this, he prepared to close the door.
"Hagrid, it's me." Kyle said quickly, "Remember, we met before."
Ok?
Hagrid took a closer look at Kyle, and the more he looked, the more familiar he looked.
"I remember now." Hagrid suddenly clapped his hands and said, "You are the bad boy from Chopper's family. Because of you, Saipan doesn't even recognize his own name now."
"That's because it doesn't like the name, Hagrid." Kyle said seriously: "You should ask their opinions more when naming owls."
"I...well, I can't argue with you." Hagrid looked a little nervous and asked hurriedly, "So what are you doing here?"
Kyle didn't answer him directly, but looked around and said, "Can I go into your room and talk?"
"No!" Hagrid became even more nervous, and pressed his body tightly against the door and said, "...Uh, I mean my room is a bit messy, that's all. And Fang doesn't like strangers, I'm afraid it will scare you.
Oh, Yaya is a hunting dog I raise, and he is taller than you."
"Really... forget it then." Kyle showed a surprised expression and said readily: "I came here to ask if there are any moon-crazy beasts in the forbidden forest."
As we all know, there are two best fertilizers in the magical world, which come from the feces of dragons and moon beasts.
There were definitely no dragons in the Forbidden Forest, so he had to wait until next semester to find one, so he set his sights on the Moon Beast.
"What do you want to do!"
Hearing the word "Forbidden Forest", Hagrid no longer cared about being nervous and said seriously: "First-year students are absolutely not allowed to go to the Forbidden Forest. It's very dangerous there. Go back to the castle quickly, or I will go find Professor Sprout."
"Don't be so nervous, Hagrid." Kyle said, "I don't want to go to the Forbidden Forest, otherwise I wouldn't come to you."
"Really?"
"Of course." Kyle explained, "I just planted two little cuties and wanted to find some fertilizer for them."
"Is that so? No wonder you asked me about Moon Crazy Beast."
Hagrid carefully squeezed out of the room and quickly turned and closed the door.
Hagrid took Kyle to the pumpkin patch next to the cabin, brought out a tin bucket from the corner and said, "You're welcome. Take as much as you want."
The iron bucket was filled with silver spheres the size of ping-pong balls. These were the excrement of the Moon-crazy Beast. There were at least two or three hundred of them in this bucket.
But Kyle frowned.
No, the color is too dark. It looks like it has been there for at least a month.
"Anything fresh?" Kyle asked.
"I'm not sure..." Hagrid hesitated, thought for a moment and said, "But we can go and take a look. Come with me."
The two walked along the edge of the Forbidden Forest for a while, and then Hagrid asked Kyle to wait outside while he went into the Forbidden Forest alone.
Kyle agreed and silently took note of the route he had taken and the surroundings in case of emergency.
Since the Moonbeast was only a level XX magical creature and did not live deep in the Forbidden Forest, it only took Hagrid about ten minutes to get out.
"Here, take it."
He handed a bag to Kyle and said, "Because the Moon Beasts usually step their feces into the soil at sunrise, this is all I could find.
If you need it next time, it’s better to send me a letter by owl in advance, and I can help you pick up more."
Kyle took the bag and weighed it. Judging from the weight, there should be about seven or eight items in it.
It’s a little less, but it’s enough.
Kyle put away the bag and smiled, "Thank you, Hagrid."
"That's nothing." Hagrid scratched his hair a little embarrassedly. "Just don't change the name of the school owl next time."
"It was just an accident."
When the two returned to the cabin, Kyle once again suggested going inside to take a look.
Not surprisingly, Hagrid refused.
"There's really nothing to see, Kyle." He stood in the doorway, his eyes wandering around as he said, "You should go back to the castle."
Kyle looked at him and wanted to laugh.
Hagrid really can't lie. Anyone who sees him like this would know that there is something wrong in the house.
"Well, I'll go back to the castle."
Kyle turned around and said nonchalantly, "By the way, I have to remind you that you can't keep a three-headed dog in the room."

Chapter 49 Find a Wife for Banban (Please Collect and Recommend)
"What three-headed dog? I've never raised a Fluffy!"
Hagrid was so excited that even the roots of his beard began to tremble. He pointed at Kyle and said, "How can you slander someone's innocence out of thin air!"
"Oh~~" Kyle suddenly realized, "So its name is Lu Wei, that's a good name."
Hagrid was stunned and quickly denied: "I didn't... I didn't say anything, you heard it wrong."
He doesn't dare admit it.
Throughout the entire Hogwarts, his biggest worry was that Kyle would discover Fluffy's presence, so even Dumbledore had to sit in the back row.
Because Kyle's father, Chris, is the deputy director of the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures, and he is in charge of magical creatures of unknown origin like Fluffy.
If Kyle wrote a letter to tell his family about this, Lou Williams would definitely be taken away, and he wouldn't know whether he would live or die.
Even he himself might be sent to Azkaban.
Hagrid broke out in a cold sweat when he thought about the possibility of Fluffy being killed and about that damn place Azkaban.
"No, you absolutely cannot admit it."
Hagrid frowned and put on what he thought was a ferocious expression, trying to scare Kyle away.
The ferocious expression, coupled with his burly figure of over three meters tall, to be honest, really does look like it.
If Kyle had ignored Hagrid's wandering eyes and the cold sweat on his forehead, he might have believed it.
"Okay, okay, I heard you wrong. You don't have a three-headed dog." Kyle waved his hand and said, "Just treat it as a piece of trivia. Bye."
"By the way." Kyle took two steps and suddenly turned around and said, "If your puppy has a loss of appetite, irritability or depression, don't worry, just release it to the Forbidden Forest."
