I can enter Hogwarts in the end of the world - Chapter 374
c371 Open a spider farm
Before Ian even got close to the hut, he heard the barking of Fang, followed immediately by Hagrid’s complaints in the room.
“I’ve told you countless times that students are not allowed to go near the Forbidden Forest. It’s not enough during the day… Now I even want to sneak in at night.”
Although he complained, Hagrid’s actions were not slow at all. The door was opened, holding a revolving lantern in his hand, and a huge four-meter-tall body appeared outside the door.
The moment Hagrid opened the door, Yaya turned away from his usual cowardice and rushed out of the house like a sharp arrow.
“Haha, Yaya!” Ian called, then threw out a few cans of luncheon meat and gave the dog’s head a good rub at the same time.
This is the good thing about dogs. As long as you are familiar with them and you give them food, you can pet them and play with them at will. On the other hand, Crookshanks not only provides food and drink, but also depends on the mood of Ian if he wants to hug him.
“Phew! It scared me. I thought it was another naughty kid trying to sneak into the Forbidden Forest.”
After seeing clearly that the person coming was Ian, Hagrid obviously relaxed, but his words did not stop.
“Merlin! You don’t even know that two first-year Gryffindors actually ran into the centaurs’ territory last week… that’s deep in the Forbidden Forest… and luckily it’s winter… they’re all hibernating…”
As he spoke, Hagrid’s voice gradually became quieter, especially the last sentence. If it weren’t for Ian’s keen perception, it would be almost impossible to hear what he was saying.
Hibernation? When Ian heard this, a light flashed in his eyes.
After thinking for a moment, he knew what Hagrid was talking about. It was obviously a 5X danger-level Acromantula deep in the Forbidden Forest.
A cruel creature with an average adult body length of over 15 feet, intelligence no less than human beings, and a hobby of eating human flesh.
The characteristics of Acromantulas are not like this. The most famous thing is their venom, a deadly and precious venom that sells for a high price of 100 Galleons per pint.
It is also because of this that they are hunted to near extinction in the outside world.
That’s the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts. Want to try somewhere else? Still hibernating?
In fact, Ian also knows the origin of the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest. How can I say this… Keeping it in the castle is definitely outrageous and irresponsible. There is no doubt about this. No matter which angle you stand on, you can condemn.
But the Acromantula is raised in the Forbidden Forest. To be honest, that’s just what it is.
Originally, students were strictly prohibited from approaching the Forbidden Forest, and its existence was only used as a medicinal base for Hogwarts.
At this moment, Ian came up with the idea of how to eliminate their danger once and for all.
His butt determines his head, and he will not do anything if he is not in his position. As the destined principal of Hogwarts, he does not want some murders to occur during his tenure.
Even with Hagrid’s guarantee, even if he beat his chest loudly, Ian had already made up his mind to give the Acromantulas another home.
All it takes is a box with an extension spell cast on it. The cost is almost nothing, but it can perfectly solve this hidden danger.
As for the genocide? He hadn’t even thought about this. Just kidding, you can’t blow up the dragon farm in one go just because dragons eat people!
Besides, Acromantulas are now the property of Hogwarts. As the principal, it’s not too much to open a spider farm. Well… it makes sense!
Back to business.
After hearing Hagrid’s muttering, Ian took over the topic and joked: “It seems that among the freshmen this year, Gryffindor has a few more amazing people.”
“Hey! What a great person…” Hagrid laughed at himself, then said helplessly:
“Which year has less? In fact, I don’t mind them taking risks. Gryffindor advocates courage and adventure, but… they can’t make fun of their own lives. First-year people go to the Forbidden Forest. They are really ignorant. Fearless…”
Hearing this, Ian nodded in approval and said, “It’s true, there should be a certain amount of risk taking.”
Leaving aside the Acromantula, when have there been less dangers in the Forbidden Forest? Forest trolls, wild werewolves, evil-eared spirits, red hats, ghouls, thestrals, hippogriffs…
“By the way, has Hagrid ever thought about leaving the Forbidden Forest? Or find an assistant to manage the Forbidden Forest with you.”
Ian’s proposal made Hagrid’s eyes light up, but he quickly lowered his big head and said in a low voice: “The school director will not agree. Now the funding is decreasing every year. Many of the materials for the Potions class are mine.” It was picked up in the Forbidden Forest, or it was grown by Pomona in the greenhouse.”
“You don’t have to worry about the funding issue, I’ll find a way to solve it.” Ian said softly.
At this moment, the goal has been achieved, and Hagrid is not opposed to resigning or looking for an assistant.
The funny thing is that this simple big man is still worrying about school funds without knowing it.
In fact, Ian also knows that Hagrid cannot be blamed for this. Dumbledore must take the blame, and maybe half of Professor McGonagall.
Hogwarts has been staying in its comfort zone for thousands of years, with financial support from twelve school directors. It’s no wonder that the principal and deputy principals couldn’t think of ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure.
Dark under the lamp…that’s about it.
…
After entering the hut, Hagrid brought out his signature dessert – ‘crispy’ rock crust pie.
Seeing a plate full of rock biscuits, Ian smiled bitterly, this thing? Even if you give it to Yaya, he probably won’t eat it.
Hagrid can’t just order some normal food.
It seems that you have to prepare your own food… Thinking of this, he decisively took out his candy stock from the dragon skin pocket.
A large bowl of fresh squirming cockroaches, lemon honey juice and the sweetness of fire whiskey, the taste experience is full.
Since Hagrid had to go to the Forbidden Forest to complete his patrol work later, the two of them could only have half a drink to satisfy their cravings.
After a moment, Ian put down the cup in his hand.
“Hagrid, if nothing else happens, we will be able to work together in a while.”
This was also a temporary decision he made, and he would take up the post directly after a while.
In fact, at first Ian thought about re-employment after graduation, but suddenly realized that in his current situation, there is really not much difference between graduation and school.
In the past two years, the reason why I stayed away was mainly because I wanted to experience the complete campus life, read books in the library, and go on a date with Hermione when I had nothing to do.
However, whether it is reading or dating, it actually does not affect the work of the Forbidden Forest. Instead of doing this…it is better to go to work early and at least do something meaningful.
“You work with me?” Hagrid’s dark eyes were full of doubts. “Merlin’s socks, you’re only in your sixth year… Professor McGonagall will kill me.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not what you think.” Just by looking at Hagrid’s expression, Ian knew that the other party might have misunderstood something again, thinking that he was secretly helping in his spare time.
“I’m going to apply for graduation with Principal Dumbledore, and then ask for an employment letter, an honest job.”
To be honest, after fifth-year Hogwarts students complete the O.W.L exam, they can actually apply for graduation.
If you are not a top student, or if you are determined to work in the Ministry of Magic after graduation, then the N.E.W.T seventh-year certificate is really dispensable…
After all, when Old Tom recruits waiters in bars, he doesn’t look at test scores.
