Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Chapter 13.
NICHOLAS FLAMEL Chapter 13 NICHOLAS FLAMEL
Dumbledore convinced Harry not to look for the Mirror of Erised again. And the next day after talking with the professor, Harry put the invisibility cloak back in his suitcase.
He wished he could erase what he saw in the mirror with the same ease, but he couldn't. He began to have nightmares. Every night he dreamed of his parents disappearing in a flash of green light, accompanied by piercing cold laughter. nine0003
"See, Dumbledore was right when he said this mirror could drive you crazy," Ron stated when Harry told him about his dreams.
Hermione, who had returned from vacation the day before the start of term and had been told absolutely everything by Harry and Ron because they were friends, saw things differently. She was torn between her horror at the mere thought of Harry wandering around the school for three nights in a row (“Think of what it would be like if Filch caught you!” she constantly exclaimed) and disappointment at the fact that Harry failed to find out who Nicholas Flamel was.
nine0003
They had almost given up hope of finding Flamel's name in one of the library books. Though Harry still had no doubt that he'd seen the name before. When the semester began, they again ran into the library between classes and for ten minutes frantically flipped through the first books that came to hand.
Of course, one could go to the library after class, but Hermione devoted all her free time to homework and extracurricular reading, and Harry had almost no free time at all, because Quidditch practice had resumed. nine0003
Wood forced his wards to train to the limit. He increased the duration of training and their frequency, and even the endless rains that replaced the snow could not cool his ardor. The Weasley twins complained that Wood had become a real fanatic, but Harry was on the side of his captain. He knew that if they won the next match - against the Hufflepuff team - they would overtake Slytherin on points.
And this is the first time in seven years.
However, Harry supported Wood not only because he wanted to win - he found that after hard, exhausting training, he rarely had nightmares.
During another training session - it rained heavily that day, and the stadium turned into a muddy puddle - Wood brought bad news to the team.
Perhaps he would have kept them to himself, afraid to lower the morale of his players, but it turned out that he was terribly angry at the Weasley twins, who, rising into the air, bombarded each other with balls and pretended that they were about to fall from their broom. nine0003
- Stop fooling around! Wood suddenly yelled. “It’s because of such nonsense that we may well lose the match!” Just so you know, Snape will referee the game, and he will use any excuse to write down penalty points to our account!
Upon hearing this, George Weasley actually fell off his broom.
Will Snape judge? he muttered indistinctly, rising from the ground and spitting out the mud that had clogged into his mouth. - I don’t remember him ever refereeing games. Yes, you won’t have to expect fair refereeing from him - he understands that if we win, we will bypass his favorites. nine0003
The rest of the players landed next to George and also began to resent.
— What can I do? Wood threw up his hands. “Now we simply have to play in such a way that Snape does not have the slightest reason to cling to us.
Harry silently nodded his head. George and the others were right, but on top of that, Harry had his own reasons for not wanting Snape around when he played Quidditch. nine0003
After practice, the players lingered to chat as usual, but Harry made his way to the Gryffindor Common Room, where he found Ron and Hermione playing a game of chess. Hermione always knew everything better than others, but she sometimes lost at chess.
And Harry and Ron agreed that it was very useful for her.
"Please wait, don't disturb me," said Ron, noticing Harry sitting next to him, "I need to concentrate because..." nine0003
Ron looked up at Harry.
- What happened to you? he asked with interest. “Your face is just creepy.
In a low, calm voice so no one could hear, Harry told them about Snape's sudden and sinister desire to referee a Quidditch match.
"You're not allowed to play," Hermione said bluntly.
"Tell me you're sick," Ron suggested.
"Pretend you've broken your leg," said Hermione. nine0003
"Or break it for real," Ron added.
"I can't," Harry admitted. We don't have a spare catcher. If I do not enter the field, then the whole team will not come out.
At that moment, Neville burst into the room - burst in the truest sense of the word.
It was not clear how he managed to get through the hole behind the portrait of the Fat Lady, because his legs stuck to one another, as if a special spell had been cast on Neville. He must have had to jump all the way to the Gryffindor tower. nine0003
Everyone burst out laughing, except for Hermione, who jumped up to Neville and uttered the formula that removes the spell. Neville's legs parted in different directions.
- What happened? Hermione asked, leading him up to Harry and Ron.
"Malfoy," Neville replied in a trembling voice, "I met him in the library hallway." He said he was looking for someone to practice on.
"Go to Professor McGonagall at once!" Hermione urged him on. - And tell me how it was! nine0003
Neville shook his head.
"I've had enough of trouble," he muttered.
"But you have to do it, Neville!" said Ron.
- He is always trying to trample everyone into the mud, and you yourself lie down in it and make it easier for him!
"Don't tell me I'm not brave enough to be a member of Gryffindor." Neville whimpered. "Malfoy already proved it to me."
Harry reached into his pocket and pulled out a "chocolate frog", the last one Hermione had sent him for Christmas. He handed the "frog" to Neville, who looked like he was about to burst into tears. nine0003
"You're worth ten Malfoys," Harry said. “And you deserve to be in Gryffindor, because the Magic Hat itself selected you for our house. So where was this Malfoy? In a stinking hole called Slytherin, that's where.
Neville smiled weakly and turned the frog around.
"Thanks, Harry," he said gratefully, "yeah, here's the card - you collect them, right?"
Following Neville's gaze, Harry looked down at the card he held in his hand.
nine0003
"There you are, Dumbledore again," he said. - Since he was on my very first ka ...
Harry suddenly gasped in excitement. He stared at the card as if he couldn't take his eyes off it, and then raised them to Ron and Hermione.
- I found him! he whispered. I found Flamel! I told you I've seen that name before, well, it was on the train when I was coming here. Listen! “...Professor Dumbledore became famous, among other things, for defeating the dark wizard Grindelwald at 1945, the discovery of the twelve uses of dragon's blood, and the work of alchemy carried out jointly with his partner Nicholas Flamel…” Harry read.
Hermione jumped to her feet. She hadn't looked this excited since they'd been told their grades for their very first homework assignment, which Hermione, of course, had done with A's.
- Wait here! she ordered, and rushed to the stairs leading to the girls' bedroom.
nine0003
Harry and Ron barely had time to exchange intrigued glances, and Hermione was already returning to the table with a heavy ancient book in her hands.
“It never even crossed my mind to look for him here! she whispered excitedly. “But I got it from the library a few weeks ago!” Specifically to take your mind off textbooks for easy reading.
- Easy? said Ron. Hermione, instead of answering, advised him to be silent until she found what she needed, and began to feverishly turn the pages, muttering something under her breath. nine0003
- I knew it!
she exclaimed, finding what she was looking for. - I knew it!
- Can we talk now? Ron asked irritably.
Hermione pretended not to hear the question.
“Nicholas Flamel,” she whispered, as if she were an actress playing a dramatic role. Nicholas Flamel is the only known creator of the Philosopher's Stone! nine0003
Her words didn't have the effect on Harry and Ron that she had hoped.
- Creator of what? they asked in one voice.
- Well, that's too much. What, you don't read books? Okay, then read at least this piece ...
She pushed the book towards them.
“The ancient science of alchemy was engaged in the creation of the Philosopher's Stone, a legendary substance endowed with amazing powers. According to legend, the stone could turn any metal into pure gold. With it, it was also possible to prepare the elixir of life, which made the one who drinks this elixir immortal. nine0003
Throughout the centuries, there have been many rumors that the Philosopher's Stone has already been created, but the only stone that exists in our time belongs to Mr. Nicholas Flamel, an eminent alchemist and admirer of the opera. Mr. Flamel, who celebrated his six hundred and sixty-fifth birthday last year, enjoys the peace and quiet in Devon with his wife, Pernella (six hundred and fifty-eight).
- Got it? Hermione asked when Harry and Ron had finished reading. "The dog must be guarding Flamel's Philosopher's Stone!" I have no doubt that he asked Dumbledore about it, because they are friends and also because Flamel knew that someone was after his stone. That's why he wanted the stone taken from Gringotts! nine0003
“A stone that turns everything into gold and guarantees you immortality!” Harry exclaimed. “No wonder Snape wants to steal it. Anyone would like to have such a stone.
"And no wonder we couldn't find Flamel's name in New Directions in Modern Magical Science," said Ron. “You can’t call him modern, because he’s six hundred and sixty-five years old.
The next morning, in Defense Against the Dark Arts class, while writing down the various ways to heal from werewolf bites, Harry and Ron were still debating what they would do with the Philosopher's Stone if they had it in their hands.
It wasn't until Ron said he'd buy himself a Major League Quidditch team that Harry remembered Snape and the upcoming match. nine0003
"I'll definitely play," he said firmly after class, when he, Ron, and Hermione walked out of the course. “If I don’t show up on the field, everyone will think that I was scared of Snape. I'll show them all ... I'll wipe the smiles off their faces - if, of course, we win.
"Of course, unless, of course, someone has to scrape off what's left of you from the field," said Hermione, who was very worried about Harry, pessimistically.
* * *
However, despite his bold statement, Harry grew more and more nervous as the game approached. And the other players of the team were not too calm. The idea that they could overtake Slytherin in the school championship warmed everyone's soul - after all, no one had succeeded in the last seven years. But the chances that a judge as biased as Snape would allow them to do so were not very great.
Maybe it was just Harry's imagination, or maybe he made it up himself, but he bumped into Snape everywhere he went. Sometimes he even asked himself if Snape was following him, trying to catch him on something or do something bad to him? In any case, Snape's lessons turned into daily torture. Snape found fault with Harry for any reason and behaved simply disgustingly. Maybe he somehow guessed what they had learned about the philosopher's stone? Harry had no idea how this could happen, but sometimes he had a very unpleasant feeling that Snape could read other people's minds. nine0003
* * *
When Ron and Hermione escorted Harry to the locker room and left after wishing him luck, Harry had no doubt his friends were wondering if they could see him alive after the match. All this, to be honest, was not very encouraging. As he pulled on his gym uniform, Harry didn't even hear what Wood was talking about.
While Harry changed, Ron and Hermione found empty seats in the stands and sat next to Neville. He could not understand why they looked so gloomy and preoccupied and why they brought their magic wands with them to the game. Unbeknownst to Harry, they were secretly practicing De-Pulling every day, the same spell that had been placed on Neville Malfoy. This great idea occurred to them at the same time on the same day that Hermione disenchanted Neville. They were ready to put a curse on Snape at the very moment when it seemed to them, even for a moment, that he wanted to harm Harry. nine0003
"So don't forget to say Locomotor Mortis," whispered Hermione as Ron tucked his wand into his sleeve.
"I remember," said Ron. - Do not be a bore!
Meanwhile in the locker room, Wood took Harry aside.
"I don't want to pressure you, Harry, but today more than ever we need you to catch the Snitch as soon as possible.
" We need to finish the game before Snape has a chance to sue us. nine0003
The whole school is there! shouted Fred Weasley, leaning out the door. "Even... I'll be damned if it wasn't Dumbledore himself who came to the game!"
Harry's heart jumped in his chest and did a double somersault.
— Dumbledore? he breathed, rushing to the door to see for himself that it was true. But Fred wasn't joking. Harry could clearly see the silver beard in the crowd of onlookers.
Harry almost burst out laughing at the top of his voice - he felt so light that he could now soar without any broom. He was safe. Snape wouldn't dare harm him in front of Dumbledore. nine0003
Perhaps that is why Snape looked so annoyed when the teams entered the field. Even Ron noticed from the podium that Snape was beside himself.
"I've never seen him so angry," Ron whispered to Hermione.
Look, they're starting. Ouch!
Someone hit Ron on the back of the head from behind. Of course it was Malfoy.
"Oh Weasley, I'm sorry I didn't see you."
Malfoy had a mocking grin on his face. Beside him, Goyle and Crabbe were also smirking. nine0003
"I wonder how long Potter can stay on the broomstick this time?" Malfoy asked loudly, knowing that Ron, Hermione, and Neville could hear him perfectly. Anyone want to argue? Maybe you Weasley? Although yes, there is nothing to argue with you ...
Ron didn't answer, he was staring at the field where Snape had just penalized Gryffindor for George Weasley hitting a Bludger in his direction. Hermione, who was sitting with her hands on her knees and fingers crossed, kept her eyes on Harry. He circled over the rest of the players, looking around for his Ball. nine0003
“I think I figured out the criteria for choosing a Quidditch team for Gryffindor,” Malfoy said loudly a few minutes later, when Snape punished Gryffindor with penalties again, and for absolutely no reason.
- Pity - that's what they are guided by there. Take Potter, he's an orphan. Take the Weasley twins - they are absolutely beggars. So it's strange that they didn't put you on the team, Longbottom, because you have absolutely no brains.
Neville blushed deeply, but still found the strength to turn to Malfoy. nine0003
“I’m worth a dozen like you, you understand? he muttered, stammering.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle burst into laughter. Neville looked at Ron uncertainly. Ron felt his eyes, but he just couldn't take his eyes off what was happening on the field.
"Deal with him yourself, Neville," he whispered.
“You know, Longbottom, if your brains were made of gold, you would still be poorer than the Weasleys, and this is an indicator,” Malfoy did not calm down. nine0003
Ron was so worried about Harry that his nerves were strained to the limit.
"I'm warning you, Malfoy," he growled, turning away from the field for a second.
- One more word...
— Ron! Hermione suddenly exclaimed. "Look at Harry!"
Harry suddenly rushed down, entering beautifully into a dive, to which the audience reacted with applause, enthusiastic screams and shouts of astonishment. Hermione jumped up from her seat, not understanding what was happening, and Harry rushed to the ground like a bullet. nine0003
"You're lucky, Weasley, it seems Potter noticed a small coin on the field!" Malfoy drawled.
Ron couldn't take it. And before Malfoy realized what was happening, Ron was already sitting on top of him, pinning him to the ground. Neville hesitated for a few moments, and then rushed to his aid.
"Come on, Harry!" yelled Hermione as she watched Harry fly, picking up speed, straight at Snape. She already realized that it was he who directed the broom down, and the nervous tension was replaced by glee.
She did not even notice that a fierce struggle was going on behind her and a ball of five bodies was rolling on the ground, from which raised fists constantly flew out and the sounds of blows and screams could be heard. nine0003
And there, in the sky above the field, Snape was just turning his broom, at the last moment noticing something golden that whistled past his head, and the next second, flying past the professor, Harry got out of his dive, triumphantly throwing up his hand in which the Snitch was clamped .
The stands erupted in cheers and applause: they had never seen a Snitch caught early in a game. It looked like Harry Potter had set a record.
— Ron! Ron! Where are you?! Game over! Harry won! We won! Gryffindor came out on top! Hermione yelled gleefully, jumping up and down in the seat, and then rushed to hug Parvati Patil, who was sitting in front of her. nine0003
Harry climbed down and jumped off his broom.
He couldn't believe what had happened. He succeeded, and the game ended in less than five minutes. Harry looked around as he heard screams behind him as Gryffindor fans were running onto the field. And then he noticed Snape landing nearby. His face was white and his lips were tightly compressed.
Harry felt a hand on his shoulder and turned to see Professor Dumbledore smiling above him. nine0003
"Great game," said Dumbledore, in a low voice so that only Harry could hear him. “I’m glad that you don’t worry about this mirror ... That you continue to live and enjoy life ... Great ...
Snape spat on the ground in rage.
* * *
Some time later, Harry left the locker room alone, about to take his Nimbus 2000 to a broom storage area. He seems to have never felt so happy in his life. Today he did something he could be proud of, and no one else could say that Harry Potter was just a famous name.
nine0003
The evening air has never smelled so sweet. Harry walked across the wet grass, replaying the events of the last hour in his head, merged into one happy moment. He saw how everyone rushed to congratulate him, how he took off into the air, tossed by dozens of hands, how Hermione joyfully jumped in the distance, how Ron waved at him, who for some reason was bleeding from his nose.
Harry reached the house on the hill where the brooms were kept. He had nowhere to hurry, and he stood there, looking around, and then looked at the castle, the windows of which glowed red in the rays of the setting sun. nine0003
Harry returned his thoughts to the game. So, now the Gryffindor team was ahead of everyone in the championship. He did what he had to do, he showed this Snape...
And speaking of Snape...
A dark figure quickly slipped out of the castle, its face covered by a hood.
Someone who really did not want to be seen was quickly walking towards the Forbidden Forest. Thoughts of Quidditch and the recent victory vanished from Harry's mind. He recognized that limping gait. It was Snape, sneaking into the woods while the whole school was having dinner in the Main Hall, sneaking in for some reason... nine0003
Harry jumped onto his broomstick and took to the sky. Gliding silently over the castle, he noticed Snape start running at the edge of the forest and disappear among the trees. And Harry rushed after him.
The forest was so thick that Harry couldn't see exactly where Snape went. He flew over the forest in circles, gradually descending, almost touching the upper branches of the trees, when suddenly he heard voices. Harry glided in the direction they were coming from and landed silently on top of the beech tree. nine0003
He carefully descended, sat down on a thick branch and, tightly clutching a broom, stared down, trying to see Snape.
And finally I saw him.
Snape stood directly below him in a dark clearing, but he was not alone. Professor Quirrell was with him. Harry couldn't see the expression on his face, but he could hear Quirrell stuttering even more than usual, which meant he was terribly nervous. Harry strained his ears and held his breath.
“…I-I-I don’t know why you r-re-decided to d-meet here, S-S-Severus?” nine0003
"Oh, I just thought it was a very personal conversation," Snape said in an icy tone. “After all, no one but us should know about the philosopher's stone - at least schoolchildren do not need to hear our conversation at all.
Harry leaned over, unable to make out what Quirrell was muttering in response. But then Snape cut him off again.
"Have you already figured out how to get past this three-headed beast raised by Hagrid?"
“B-b-but, S-S-Severus…” nine0003
"You don't need an enemy like me, Quirrell," Snape said menacingly, taking a step towards the stuttering professor.
“I… I d-don’t d-understand what w-what y-you mean…”
“You know very well what I am talking about. There was a cold irony in Snape's voice.
Suddenly, an owl hooted loudly nearby, and Harry nearly fell off the branch in surprise. He struggled to hold on to her and obviously missed part of the conversation, because when Harry regained his balance, Snape was already finishing his apparently lengthy monologue. nine0003
— …about your tricks. I am waiting.
"B-but I d-don't…" Quirrell protested.
"Very well," snapped Snape. “We'll meet again soon, when you've thought it over and finally decide which side you're on.
Snape wrapped himself in his robe, pulled the hood over his head, turned and left. It was almost completely dark now, but Harry could clearly see Quirrell frozen in the middle of the clearing. The professor seemed to be terribly frightened.
nine0003
* * *
"Harry, where have you been?" squealed Hermione, waiting with Ron at the entrance to the castle.
- Victory! You won, we won! yelled Ron, clapping Harry on the back. "I knocked out Malfoy's eye." And Neville single-handedly rushed at Crabbe and Goyle, can you imagine?! True, he is now in the hospital, but Madam Pomfrey says that everything is fine with him and that he keeps saying that he will show Malfoy and his friends again. All of us are in the tower now, waiting for you to start the holiday. Fred and George sneaked into the kitchen and stole some cakes and a bunch of other food. nine0003
"Forget it," Harry whispered almost soundlessly. “Let’s find an empty room, I have something to tell you…”
He led them into one of the rooms and, making sure that Peeves was not there, closed the door tightly and began his story.
“So we were not mistaken in deciding that we were talking about the philosopher's stone,” he summed up after a while.
"And now Snape is trying to get Quirrell to help him get the stone." He asked Quirrell if he knew how to get past Fluffy. And he said something to Quirrell about his tricks. I think that the stone is guarded not only by Fluff, but also by a variety of spells. Perhaps Quirrell cast some of his spells against the Dark Forces, and Snape needs to learn how to break these spells ... nine0003
"So you're saying the stone will be safe until Quirrell breaks under Snape's pressure?" Hermione asked worriedly.
"Then the stone will be gone in a week at the most," Ron concluded grimly.
Foods that can kill pets
Grapes, chocolate, pastries and onions - these foods should not be given to dogs and cats, as they can provoke poisoning and death of a pet. The science department of Gazeta.Ru tells what other “human” products should never fall into the bowl of pets. nine0003
All pet owners know that it is impossible to give their pet food from their table - even those who feed a dog or cat not with specialized food, but with "human" food (meat, fish, porridge), know that treating animals with such products, like sausage, bread or sweets, still not worth it.
Nevertheless, it is simply impossible to resist the begging look of black dog eyes, and a loving owner still treats the pet with something tasty -
after all, a small piece of sausage cannot cause significant harm to the health of a dog or cat! nine0003
Bulldogs and Labradors against cancer
How dogs will help scientists find a method of therapy for glioma, the most common form of tumor...
May 13 12:10
However, scientists have found that sometimes even one berry - for example, grapes - can be enough for the animal to die from poisoning. The science department tells you exactly what foods should not be given to pets in any case - neither as a reward for an executed command, nor in response to a begging look. With full text of scientific article can be found in Frontiers in Veterinary Science.
Chocolate
Products containing cocoa beans contain two components that are toxic to pets - theobromine and caffeine alkaloids. These substances stimulate the work of the heart muscle, and also affect the central nervous system.
Scientists claim that one small piece of dark chocolate (which contains more theobromine and caffeine than milk chocolate) can be enough to make a small dog feel sick. nine0003
The first symptoms of poisoning appear two to four hours after the animal has eaten the chocolate and include agitation, thirst, urinary incontinence, and vomiting. If these symptoms occur, the animal must be taken to the veterinarian - if the pet does not receive help in time, he may begin to have muscle cramps, he may fall into a coma, or even die from arrhythmia or respiratory failure.
Veterinarians say that theobromine and caffeine poisoning of pets most often occurs during the holidays, when the amount of chocolate and sweets in homes increases dramatically, and also in summer, when gardeners and home garden owners fertilize the soil with mulch from crushed cocoa bean shells or coffee beans. nine0003
Xylitol
Another dangerous product for pets is xylitol (a polyol used as a sugar substitute).
Typically, it is used in the production of sugar-free chewing gum, candy, bread and other baked goods.
In addition, due to its antibacterial properties, xylitol is found in dentifrice and oral care products (including animal dentifrices). nine0003
If xylitol is ingested by a dog, it can trigger insulin release, causing blood sugar levels to drop to dangerous levels. Symptoms of xylitol poisoning appear 30-60 minutes after it enters the body, however, in some cases, the reaction may be delayed and occur only after 12 hours. Symptoms include vomiting, as well as lethargy, loss of movement control, and seizures that occur due to low blood sugar.
Onions and garlic
Not only sweets are dangerous for dogs and cats: plants from the genus Allium are also poisonous to pets - these include various types of onions and garlic. These plants contain substances called "organic sulfoxides" - when an animal chews on an onion or garlic clove, the sulfoxides break down into a variety of sulfur compounds that cause the body's red blood cells to break down.
Dangerous changes in the blood structure can occur after eating 5 g of onion per kilogram of body weight (for cats) and 15-30 g per kilogram of body weight for dogs. nine0003
Scientists say that poisoning can occur not only as a result of eating fresh onions and garlic - baked onions, fried pieces of garlic and baked goods containing onions can also be dangerous.
Monkey-like humor and swearing
Trusting a friend, rejection of cruelty, the ability to earn and spend money, humor and swearing - it turns out ...
January 17 10:32
Symptoms of onion and garlic poisoning appear after a few days and include vomiting, diarrhea, stomach pain, and loss of appetite. In addition, the animal suffers from weakness, breathing and heart rate increase, and the color of the mucous membranes becomes paler. However, this does not always happen: the labrador of the author of these lines in the country often digs up onions and garlic and eats them without any consequences.
nine0003
Alcohol
Most often, ethanol (ethyl alcohol) poisoning occurs when an animal swallows a small amount of an alcoholic beverage, however, cases of ethanol poisoning have been recorded after
a dog has eaten an apple that has begun to rot, wild plum fruit, and a piece of raw dough (all of these products also contain a small amount of ethyl alcohol).
Ethanol has the same effect on pets as it does on humans: it is very quickly absorbed into the bloodstream and reaches the brain. Within an hour after "drunk", the animal may show signs of depressed mood, loss of control over movements, apathy, and body temperature may rise. Scientists say that in the vast majority of cases, the animal does not require medical assistance - after a certain time, alcohol is excreted from the body, and the dog or cat returns to normal. nine0003
Grapes and raisins
Grapes, raisins, and foods containing them can cause kidney failure in dogs, scientists say. However, the reaction of different animals to these berries is not the same.
Based on an analysis of 180 cases of dogs eating grapes and raisins, such a treat can lead to a wide range of consequences. Cases are known when

December 10 11:35
90,002 dogs died after swallowing just a few berries, and sometimes even 0.9 kg of raisins eaten did not cause any consequences.Veterinarians say that the symptoms of grape poisoning appear a day after eating the berries.
Hops
Hop cones are used to make beer, but hops are often planted in home gardens as an ornamental plant due to the fact that they grow quickly, have large carved leaves and can "cling" to the vertical walls of the building, creating a beautiful green "carpet". nine0003
However, the buds of this plant contain a range of substances (resins, essential oils and tannins) that can cause fever in dogs and cats.
