Harry Potter's Catastrophe - Chapter 511
c511 Care of Magical Creatures Lesson (Part 2)
“Ah, it’s really bad. We can only let Blackie go play in the woods.” Carney also thought about it. This is Hagrid’s first lesson. Blackie should not scare the hippogriffs.
“Woof woof woof! Woof woof woof!” Yaya kept barking after Xiao Hei was caught, hiding behind Hagrid and barking.
“You go play in the Forbidden Forest first, and I’ll find you after class.” Carney said to Xiao Hei, and with their stunned expressions, he threw Xiao Hei far away into the Forbidden Forest.
“It won’t hurt, will it?” Hermione asked.
“Hermione, have you forgotten? Blackie is as big as a basilisk. We should pray that the tree is okay.” Ron said.
“Okay, Carney, I can’t help you, but it’s much peaceful in the Forbidden Forest. By the way, you’ve told Blackie not to eat randomly, right?” Hagrid was worried, if the centaur was watched by Blackie, If it is eaten as prey, it will be difficult to deal with it.
“Of course, under my training, it has no appetite for creatures with human characteristics.” Carney assured.
Harry and Ron are not interested in the Forbidden Forest for the time being. In fact, they have never been very interested. They are still more interested in adventures in the castle.
Hermione also unusually had no idea of going with him. Maybe it was because attending three classes a day made her too busy to care about anything else.
“Come on, come on, come on!” Hagrid shouted, urging the students, who were already approaching. “I have something good for you today. There will be an exciting lesson soon. Is everyone here? Okay, come with me!”
Hagrid led them along the edge of the forest. Five minutes later, they were outside a paddock-like place. There is nothing there.
“Everyone, come to this fence,” he shouted, “that’s right, stand where you can see it. Now, the first thing you have to do is open your books…”
“How do you open it?” Draco Malfoy said in his cold, drawn-out tone, although he still looked aloof even though he was no longer fighting with Harry.
“Huh?” Hagrid said.
“How do we open the book?” Malfoy said again. He took out his Monster Book, which he had tied with a rope.
In fact, most people do this. Others take out books and tie them up. Some people use clips or bags.
No one among us took the lead in opening it because they had already suffered a lot before coming here.
Harry and the others opened it easily. “The Monster Book of Monsters” had no intention of causing harm, and was no different from a normal book.
“of course…”
“You can open these books by stroking the spines.” Ron opened his mouth and was about to show off, but Hermione’s quick words made him miss the opportunity to show off. But he still knew how to open the book before Malfoy, didn’t he?
“Yes, it’s great. It seems that Hermione… Granger has found the trick. Five points for Gryffindor.” Hagrid said happily. He gave Gryffindor an extra point, which he had been looking forward to for a long time.
“Oh, how stupid we are!” Malfoy sneered, “We should have picked up these books! Why didn’t we think of that!”
“I, I think these books are ridiculous,” Hagrid said hesitantly to Hermione.
“Yes, almost. Maybe you can throw it out during battle to deal with the enemy.” Carney joked, “The enemy will definitely have a big headache.”
“What a good idea.” Everyone was amused and opened the “Monster Book of Monsters” according to the method.
“Yes, that’s right. Since everyone already has the book, then it is indeed the theme of this course. Now you also need a magical creature.” Hagrid sorted out his thoughts, “I will go and get them Bring it, you guys wait.”
Hagrid left the fence and walked into the woods. After a while, he was gone.
“Oh, what a special lesson.” Malfoy could say this as he sat on the stone boredly, while the two burly bodyguards next to him just stood dumbly.
They would have said something in the past, but everyone knew that Carney and Hagrid had a good relationship, and Malfoy could only complain.
“It’s so rare,” said Ron.
“Ooooh!” screamed Lavender Brown, pointing across the paddock.
Twelve of the strangest creatures they had ever seen hurried toward them. They have the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings, and head appear to be those of an eagle, and they have steel-colored sharp beaks and large, bright orange eyes.
The claws on their front legs are half a foot long and look deadly.
Around the neck of each beast was a thick feather collar, with a long chain attached to it. The ends of these chains were held in Hagrid’s big hand, and he walked slowly after the animals. Paddock.
“Get over there,” he yelled, shaking the chain and calling the guys to come to the fence where the class stood. Everyone stood back as Hagrid approached and tied the guys to the fence.
“Hippogriff!” Hagrid roared happily. Waving a hand towards them, “They are beautiful, aren’t they?”
Indeed, there is not only one of them that is stunning at first glance, but when you look at it again, you will be attracted by its shiny fur and majestic wings.
Admire the stunning creatures as their fur smoothly transitions from feathers to fur, each in different colors: dark gray, bronze, pinkish sand (red and white), shiny chestnut, and finally It’s jet black.
Carney stared at a hippogriff and looked up and down, from beginning to end, from the sharp eyes to the body movements.
“It’s really a Hippogriff.” Harry said, he was attracted by this creature for a moment.
“Well,” said Hagrid, wiping his hands together and smiling at the class, “if you want to come closer…” No one seemed to want to.
However, Harry, Ron and Hermione cautiously approached the fence.
“Well, the first thing you must know about Hippogriffs is that they are proud,” said Hagrid, “and it is easy to offend them. Never offend a Hippogriff, because That’s probably the last thing you want to do.”
“You always have to wait for the Hippogriff to make the first move,” Hagrid continued.
“It’s polite, you know? You go up to it, you bow, and then you wait. If it bows back to you, you can touch it. If it doesn’t bow, then leave it quickly, because these The claws are going to hurt.”
“I’ve read about this in books,” Hermione said. Although she knew it in great detail, practice was another matter.
“Okay, who comes first?” In response, most of the students stepped back. Even Harry, Ron and Hermione were scared.
