Chapter 94: Eat It
Chapter 94: Eat It
The twins, one by one, explained the matter of them collecting Acromantula's venom.
Even the plan to sell the venom in the future and use that sum of money to open a shop in Diagon Alley after graduation was confessed.
While the professors were observing and listening to the twins' confession, Coven unexpectedly found that Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall had a hint of interest and appreciation in their eyes.
It seems that Headmaster and the dean have affirmed the long-term plan of the twins...
"Then..."
After listening to the twins' explanation, Dumbledore could not help but chuckle. "Two bottles of Acromantula's venom are confiscated. Do you have any objections?"
When the twins heard this, they shook their heads with sad faces.
Then Fred asked weakly, "Mr. Headmaster, do you need me to get it for you now?"
Dumbledore did not respond. Instead, he turned to look at Coven, maintaining a slight smile. He asked, "Can we have a look at the 'Transfiguration Summon' mentioned by Mr. Weasley?"
Coven did not expect the topic to shift to him suddenly and could not help but be slightly stunned.
Dumbledore continued, "I think, as a 'partner', you should know where the venom is, right?"
Hearing this, Coven nodded and admitted it. After all, in recent days, because he needed to 'commit crimes', he had gone to the twins' dormitory many times. Naturally, he knew where the two bottles of venom were placed.
When Dumbledore saw this, he nodded and said softly, "Very good."
Then, Dumbledore raised his hand and made an inviting gesture to Coven.
Coven took out his wand and said hesitantly, "Uh... Sir, I need something to replace."
Dumbledore heard this and looked around. Finally, he set his eyes on the coffee table and said reluctantly, "Well, I lost two more pieces of dessert."
As he spoke, Dumbledore waved to the coffee table. Two pieces of pudding flew over and landed on the desk in front of him.
Seeing this, Coven thought to himself, "This is to prevent the twins from wasting their time and finally taste a little sweetness..."
Without thinking further, Coven waved his wand lightly.
In the next moment, the two pieces of pudding on the desk disappeared, replaced by two bottles of venom.
"A wonderful 'Silent Transfiguration Curse'!" Dumbledore couldn't help but raise his hand. He smiled at Coven and clapped twice.
Then, Dumbledore didn't care about the venom in front of him. Instead, he turned to Professor McGonagall and smiled. "It seems that you have taught Coven very well."
"Don't joke with me, Albus..." Professor McGonagall smiled helplessly. "You make it sound like we taught Coven how to make mistakes."
"Ah! Of course not, you know Minerva." Dumbledore laughed heartily. "It's just a small joke. I'm pleased with Coven's magic level."
Professor McGonagall nodded slightly, then looked at Coven with a doting gaze. "I have never seen a student who is more hardworking than him."
Dumbledore didn't respond. He finally looked down at the two bottles of venom in front of him. He thought about it and then looked at Hagrid jokingly, "I only found out today that you are the richest person in Hogwarts."
"Don't say that!" Hagrid looked too simple and didn't hear Dumbledore joking with him. He said, "They are all descendants of Aragog! How can I use their venom to gain benefits?"
"Okay, okay. Calm down, Hagrid. I was just joking with you." Dumbledore comforted him, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.
Helplessly stopping the idea of continuing to joke, Dumbledore hurriedly changed the topic and looked at Coven. "What about you? What did you get from Acromantula? And I am curious, Why did those Acromantula who were killed by you lose their legs?"
"Uh..." Coven was speechless.
With Dumbledore's inquiry, Coven subconsciously remembered the taste and nutrition of the spider legs.
"Coven!" Professor McGonagall saw that Coven didn't answer immediately. So, she quickly reminded, "Mr. Headmaster is asking you a question."
"Oh!" Coven instantly came back to his senses. "Sorry."
Dumbledore did not care and continued to smile as he waited for an answer.
"Those spider legs were taken away by me," Coven answered honestly.
"Oh?" Dumbledore was puzzled and asked, "I really don't know what the effect of' Acromantula's legs is. What did you do? Can you once again shock the new discovery of the magic world?"
"No, no!" Coven quickly shook his head and then explained, "I just, just..."
The following words were a little hard to say, so Coven looked a little tangled.
Dumbledore saw this and slightly tilted his head, his white eyebrows raised, indicating Coven to continue.
"I..." Coven swallowed his saliva and finally made up his mind. He whispered, "I ate them all..."
...
...
The entire office fell into a state of complete silence.
Dumbledore seemed to have turned into a stone statue. His movements and expression froze in an instant.
Professor McGonagall's eyes, which were already big, were now a little protruding.
Hagrid and the twins looked the same. They opened their eyes and mouths wide at the same time, staring at Coven in disbelief.
Especially Hagrid, his mouth was so wide that it could almost swallow Coven's little head...
Speaking of which, the twins never knew that Coven would take away the spider legs every time. After all, every time Coven returned to the castle, he would replace the spider legs left in the forbidden forest.
Hearing Coven's confession, the twins could not help but think of the day when Coven said he wanted to taste the meat of the spider legs.
Thinking of this, the twins could not help but shiver at the same time. Because of their actions, the silent atmosphere in the office was completely broken.
"Eat..." Dumbledore still couldn't believe it. He murmured and then lowered his head slightly. His eyes looked at Coven carefully through the lens.
His eyes seemed to be guessing what kind of monster Coven was.
At this time, Coven simply gave up, so he nodded heavily and explained, "On the first day of the attack, I accidentally found that the leg meat of 'Acromantula' was very beautiful, so I went to the kitchen to ask the little elves to help me appraise it."
"And then you boldly tried it?" Professor McGonagall covered her mouth with her hands in surprise and said with a trembling voice.
"Ah," Coven raised his hand and scratched the back of his head. He said guiltily, "In the end, I found that the leg meat was very nutritious. Recently, my body has become much stronger."
The office became silent again...
