Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Chapter 336
c336 Professor Hagrid’s progress
The incident in which Malfoy and Harry were scratched by the Hippogriff was eventually treated as an ordinary classroom incident.
When Malfoy no longer insisted on pursuing the matter, this kind of trivial matter was nothing at Hogwarts, but Professor McGonagall still criticized Hagrid for being too aggressive in class and should not have brought in dangerous creatures of this level in the first place.
“So I thought Flobber caterpillars might be a good idea.” Hagrid said after learning from the experience: “I happened to find a nest recently, and I was going to give it to Aragog as snacks…”
“Pfft -” Ryan spit out the tea and said in shock while coughing: “What? What did you say?”
“Flobber Caterpillar!” Hagrid didn’t understand why he was so excited and explained: “It’s a toothless worm, a little thing that’s not dangerous at all.”
“I know…but…”
Ryan looked at Vader, who raised his eyebrows at him, and then said:
“We were hoping to continue with Hippogriffs next class, Professor Hagrid. It’s not fair that both Gryffindor and Slytherin have this class and we don’t.”
“But there’s danger…” Hagrid said hesitantly.
“Didn’t you already think about how to ensure safety?” Michael also said bluntly: “And no one wants to see any Flobber caterpillars. You will be hated by all the students.”
In fact, Michael usually talks in many ways, but he has discovered that he has to explain things directly to this new professor so that he will listen.
Hagrid still couldn’t make up his mind: “If there are students who are afraid of Buckbeak and them and anger them…”
“Why not prepare some small things that are not dangerous? For example, the bowtruckle?” Wade said: “Those who want to take risks should take risks, and those who don’t want to take risks can play with the little ones.”
“Is this… okay?” Hagrid asked uncertainly.
“Of course!” Michael vowed: “Everyone will definitely like it very much!”
Although Hagrid was a professor, he had just obtained this position and had just made a mistake. He was at a time when his confidence was seriously lacking, so he was easily convinced.
“Okay… okay… I’ll give it a try as you said…” Hagrid said anxiously.
Michael and others immediately cheered, and Wade also smiled.
The Care of Magical Creatures course takes at least three years. In order to not have to deal with caterpillars and blast-ended snails all the time during these three years, he actively helped solve this accident.
Fortunately, Hagrid did not have an opinion just because he was older and knew more about magical creatures. He accepted the students’ suggestions humbly.
Even later, after Michael and others left, Hagrid found Wade again and invited him to his cabin as a guest.
“Thank you, Vader.”
Hagrid said: “I know Malfoy didn’t intend to let me and Buckbeak go… His father is very powerful and can make the Ministry of Magic listen to him… But you convinced him… You saved me ,real……”
As Hagrid spoke, he sniffed and wiped his eyes with the back of his hand.
“Don’t say that, Hagrid.”
Vader said: “If Malfoy was injured in Transfiguration or Potions class, he would not yell like this at all, not to mention that he made the mistake himself… I just don’t want him to use this method to destroy an excellent teacher. Drive away.”
Hagrid was a little ashamed and sighed: “Oh…I, I’m not a good teacher at all…I hurt my students in the first class…”
“Be confident, you’re not the only one.”
Vader patted his arm and consoled him: “Neville broke his arm in the first flying lesson, and was covered in scabies in the first potions lesson. Mrs. Huo Qi and Si Professor Nepp doesn’t feel inferior because of this!”
Hagrid couldn’t help but laugh: “Don’t let them know you said that…haha…but I do feel better. By the way, I have something to give you.”
He stood up, held on to the oil lamp that his head accidentally touched, then took an old box from the cabinet next to him, wiped the dust on it with his hand, and handed it to Wade.
“What is this?” Wade asked curiously.
“I picked it up while patrolling the Forbidden Forest.”
Hagrid sat down and poked the firewood with a pair of tongs. There was an iron kettle on top of it and he was boiling water.
He said: “There are the scales that fell from Norberta, the tail hair of the unicorn, and the poisonous horn of the poisonous horn. I remembered that these can be used as alchemy materials, so I collected them for you. I thought about it when we can get together. For you.”
In fact, he originally planned to give this as a Christmas gift, but now he got excited and took it out.
Wade opened the box and pursed his lips slightly when he saw the neatly arranged materials inside.
Even Hagrid would take a long time to collect these materials.
For example, the poison horn is a large beast comparable to a rhinoceros. The poison horn contains explosive liquid, which is very dangerous.
There is also the tail hair of a unicorn, which is more precious than ordinary hair. Moreover, if the tail hair of this holy creature is violently plucked out, although it will not be cursed, it can be used to make medicine or alchemy. There will be some problems.
The best materials are naturally given voluntarily by unicorns, but tail hair bought from the market cannot guarantee this at all.
Hagrid seems careless and heartless, but when he thinks about others, he can also appear more considerate than anyone else.
For example, in the first grade, he collected old photos of the Potters and made an album for Harry.
Wade accepted the box and said nothing in return, just: “Thank you, Hagrid, I like it very much.”
Hagrid smiled brightly.
On Tuesday afternoon, Wade went to the staff lounge to ask questions and saw Hagrid holding a thick parchment book bound by himself and asking Professor McGonagall how to be a good professor.
“Sometimes it’s not a bad thing to listen to students’ suggestions. They know what they want.”
Professor McGonagall said: “But you also have to come up with specific and feasible methods. Be more confident, Hagrid. You have enough knowledge, you just need to learn how to pass it on to students.”
Hagrid nodded seriously, and then wrote it down word by word in the notebook.
Professor McGonagall saw Wade, smiled and said: “When you don’t know what to do correctly, you can also ask Wade and Hermione-they are both very good students and can definitely give you the best advice.”
Hagrid nodded: “I will.”
After experiencing a blow, Hagrid is obviously working towards becoming a good professor.
He stumbled in areas he was not good at, and the words he wrote on the parchment were messy, and there were even many misspelled words.
But every time he wanted to give up and just muddle through, Wade, who was willing to offend Malfoy to help him, Michael and others who were looking forward to the next class, and Harry who still defended him after being injured, would come to his mind.
He knew he had to do his best.
