Chapter 145 The Shortcomings of Children in the Magical World

Amanita muscaria, also known as Amanita muscaria. People have long discovered the toxicity of this brightly colored mushroom, and it is often crushed and used to poison flies, rats and other harmful animals.

As one of the most typical poisonous mushrooms in the world, it usually has a bright crimson color, a cap surface covered with white spots, and a large white gill. The hemolytic neurotoxin contained in it mainly reflects hallucinogenic and hallucinogenic properties. Mental stimulation.

Although compared with many poisonous mushroom varieties such as the deadly Amanita muscaria, Amanita albus, and Amanita muscaria, which have mortality rates as high as 90%, the probability of direct death from the most colorful Amanita muscaria is actually not high.

But it’s hard to resist the fact that its iconic white-on-red appearance appears too frequently in the public eye—especially in children’s books, picture albums, cartoons, garden decorations, encyclopedias, etc.

This is why Hermione Granger, who has just graduated from elementary school, can identify these poisonous mushrooms with red background and white spots at a glance even if she cannot tell the correct scientific name of them - you know, adults will always She was worried that her active children would eat something they shouldn't. As a child who grew up in a non-magical world, Hermione had been exposed to stories and pictures about this poisonous mushroom at least ten times.

Unfortunately, children who grew up in wizarding families such as Ron, Draco, and Hannah did not have the opportunity to come into contact with books like "The Grimm's Fairy Tales", "Andersen's Fairy Tales" and "The Smurfs" created by Muggle authors. fairy tales.

There will be no such interesting and educational popular science enlightenment books as "King Solomon's Ring", "The Secret of the Movement of All Things", "Schrödinger's Kitten", and "Comprehensive Knowledge of Olympiad Mathematics for Primary and Secondary Schools".

In fact, in the wizarding world where the entertainment industry and science industry are relatively lacking, children who are restricted from touching wands and using magic rarely receive some targeted preschool education - Slytherin House generally has high scores. One reason may be that as a descendant of a pure-blood wizard family, you will know some basic preschool knowledge in advance.

However, more often than not, children from wizarding families spend most of their childhood watching Quidditch news posters, reading divination puzzles, and playing wizarding chess with their brothers and sisters (although most wizarding only children cannot do this) ), listening to all kinds of strange stories about the magical world from adults...

As for the professors of Potions and Herbology classes at Hogwarts, they will not waste time teaching students to identify this:

"It has low toxicity, has no potion value yet, is not a magical plant in itself, can be found everywhere in the wild, and only the most stupid and gluttonous guys will be poisoned. It is an ordinary small broken mushroom."

——This is the comment Hermione received from a Potions professor who did not want to reveal his true identity in a certain Potions class after school started.

Of course, it is obvious that this long comment needs to be paid. For example, the most classic line of the Potions Professor, "Five points from Gryffindor."

Moreover, perhaps because they grow on the edge of the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, the attack time and hallucinogenic ability of these mutated Amanita muscaria that are affected by the unknown influence of the Enchanted Forest are significantly higher than those of ordinary varieties.

While Hermione was writing the note, asking the little reserve food to fly to Hogwarts Castle for help, the condition of the little wizards in the venue who accidentally ate "Hogwarts Poisonous Mushroom Fish Soup" was visible to the naked eye. The ground deteriorated rapidly.

Depending on the physical fitness of each student and the amount of poisonous mushroom soup they consumed, in addition to the collective confusion, everyone also began to experience severe nausea, vomiting, sweating, muscle twitching, or trismus to varying degrees. Severe symptoms.

Even Hannah Abbott, who only drank a bowl of fish soup, was not much better. The girl's cute face was alluringly blushing, her bright eyes were covered with a layer of mist, and her eyes were wandering in confusion. He leaned unsteadily on Hermione's shoulder and let out an uncomfortable moan like a kitten's murmur.

"What should I do, what should I do? Woohoo...can anyone help me..."

Hermione hugged Hannah, who was leaning against her, with both hands. Feeling the girl's increasingly hot body temperature, she looked around helplessly, with a hint of crying in her tone unconsciously.

There was no surviving little wizard on the entire site. Except for her who was spared because she was in a daze, all the other children had already drank more than one bowl of fish soup.

By the time some people began to vaguely realize that there was something strange about the fish soup, the strong hallucinogenic toxins contained in the exotic Amanita muscaria growing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest had already penetrated into the minds of the young wizards. Even a seventh grader would have a hard time concentrating on how to detoxify, let alone cast a spell.

In fact, objectively speaking, the seventh-year students at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry are only about seventeen or eighteen years old. In the non-magical world, they are at best a group of children who have just graduated from high school.

Suddenly encountering such a situation, these seventh-year greenhouse flowers, who are particularly well protected by Hogwarts professors, did not cry with the first-year wizards, which was already a very mature performance.

As for Mr. Rubeus Hagrid, who was originally regarded as a life-saver by Hermione, he did not show such strong physical discomfort. The giant's strong hybrid gene was particularly obvious in its resistance to toxins.

However, Hagrid, who had eaten at least twenty Amanita muscaria alone, was in no better condition. He was sitting on the ground helplessly, shaking his head vigorously from time to time, as if he was drunk. Like a drunkard.

"How could this happen? Aren't you having a picnic with the food in the kitchen? How come everyone is like this?"

With a violent explosion in the air, Dumbledore, wearing a blue star wizard robe, appeared in front of Hermione. The old man with a somewhat angry face glanced at the students who were paralyzed on the ground. His tall and healthy body Can't help but shake.

Following closely behind Dumbledore, Madam Pomfrey held the wizard's robe and rushed out of the castle gate at a speed of nearly 100 meters, running towards the forest farm with an anxious face.

"Perhaps, I should consider asking Professor Sprout to add some additional knowledge to the herbal medicine class. How could you be so stupid..."

Dumbledore glanced at the fish soup in Hermione's hand, his eyes focused on the red mushroom with white spots, and he instantly understood what had happened.

Soon, the first-year student who won second place in the school and the seventh-year student who used magic to loot the kitchen accidentally ate poisonous mushrooms growing in the Forbidden Forest, and the explosive news that the entire army was nearly annihilated spread throughout Hogwarts. .

Not to mention the shock in the hearts of the teachers and students of the remaining five grades after learning the whole incident, and the small thoughts that started to surge.

At least at this moment, in the luxurious bedroom of Nurmengard Castle, away from all the disputes, Elena is quite happy lying on the soft and warm bed...
