Chapter 364: hippogriff
Chapter 364 Hippogriff
“Hagrid, it’s going to be your first lesson soon.”
In a paddock next to the Forbidden Forest.
Kyle, who had just finished lunch, looked at Hagrid who was busy and asked, "How are the preparations going?"
“Too nervous.”
Hagrid moved a wooden shelf and said enthusiastically: "I got up at five o'clock in the morning and prepared everything. I hope the class goes well... I finally became a professor...
When Professor Dumbledore told me the news...I couldn't sleep well for several days, dreaming of starting school as soon as possible. "
“You’d better not say this to anyone else.”
Kyle smiled and said, "You know, students all hope that the vacation can be as long as possible."
"I can't decide how much vacation I have." Hagrid smiled happily, "It's incredible...I became a professor..."
He seemed to feel that the place where the shelf was placed was a bit inappropriate, so he moved it to another direction and asked at the same time:
“Kyle, when will you come to my class? Tomorrow, right?”
“Tomorrow afternoon, the first class is.”
Kyle looked at him and suddenly said: "But Hagrid, I think it's better for you to change to a magical animal."
"What?" Hagrid didn't seem to hear clearly and was still adjusting the position of the shelf.
Kyle continued: "If I were you, I would definitely not expose those third-grade students to hippogriffs in the first period of class."
“Well, don’t worry, I’m ready.”
Hagrid turned around and said: "I spent three weeks preparing the surprise. The first class must be wonderful...Why don't they come yet? I really want to start quickly."
As he spoke, Hagrid could not help but look towards the direction of the castle.
But soon, he seemed to realize something.
"etc…"
"Kyle, how did you know that I was going to introduce Buckbeak and the others in class? You sneaked away to the Forbidden Forest. As I said before, the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous and you must not enter without permission."
“Of course not, and it’s not necessary.”
Kyle said, "You won't forget, the first chapter of "The Monster Book of Monsters" is about the Hippogriff."
"And these...are the food you prepared for them."
Kyle pointed to the polecat hanging on the shelf again, "Anyone who knows something about magical animals knows that this is the hippogriff's favorite food."
"Is it so obvious?" Hagrid looked a little frustrated, "I thought I hid it well."
"Change it." Kyle said again, "An XXX-level magical animal like the Hippogriff is not suitable for third-year students."
"Oh, you said this." Hagrid said nonchalantly: "Don't worry, I will remind them when the time comes. As long as they stay polite, hippogriffs are not dangerous at all."
"Then can you guarantee that they will all listen to you?" Kyle asked: "Harry and the others are definitely fine, but what about the Slytherin people."
Hagrid moved his lips and whispered: "But I am a professor...they can't be disobedient..."
"Are you sure?" This time, Hagrid's voice was softer, and Kyle didn't even hear what he said.
But Kyle didn’t pay attention and continued, “In fact, our first Care of Magical Creatures lesson last year was Bowtruckle, but some students still got their fingers pricked.
Even bowtruckles are like this, let alone beasts like hippogriffs, and they have bad tempers. Once someone behaves disrespectfully, they will be angered, which is very dangerous.
You can’t guarantee that every one of them will be obedient, and you can’t keep an eye on them all. This is unrealistic. "
The more Kyle spoke, the more silent Hagrid became.
He had thought of everything before, except what would happen if the students disobeyed.
“You can choose others.” Kyle counted them one by one, “The Bowtruckle, the Fairy, the Niffler, the Billywig, the Catnivet…these are much better than the Hippogriff.”
"But..." Hagrid murmured: "This is my first class. I want to leave a deep impression on them. There is nothing more suitable than hippogriffs... They are so beautiful. Xiu Xiu looks much better."
“For most students, they may not think so. As a professor, you must learn to think from the students’ perspective.
“As for being impressive…”
Kyle raised his eyebrows, "If you can get a unicorn cub, I guarantee that your first class will explode.
It just so happens that unicorns in their childhood will not reject those boys, if you can still let them touch or hug the golden little guy. Then before get out of class ends, you will be the most popular professor at Hogwarts, and even Principal Dumbledore will have to queue behind you. "
“Deng, Professor Dumbledore…”
Hagrid suddenly became very nervous and said at a loss: "This, this is impossible, you are joking again."
He then thought for a moment and said, "If it's a unicorn cub, there is indeed one in the Forbidden Forest, and it's just one month old today, but Katita won't allow me to bring it."
Cartita is probably the name of a certain unicorn... Hagrid is always keen on naming every magical animal in the Forbidden Forest. I don't know how he remembers them all.
“It’s just because it’s difficult to do that it’s impressive.”
Kyle glanced at the time and said, "It's less than half an hour before class. If you have any ideas, you'd better act quickly.
Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then turned and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
Later, Kyle also found a group of chained Hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest behind the paddock.
Just like Hagrid said, these creatures are indeed very beautiful. Their shiny and shining feathers are different from each other, including stormy gray, crystal reddish brown, and ink-like black...
They shook their ferocious heads and stretched out their powerful wings, as if they were unwilling to be **** like this.
Kyle stepped forward and untied their chains and leather collars one by one.
“Fly…” he said softly.
The gray hippogriff stepped forward, bent its front knees, and made an unmistakable bow.
Then it spread its twelve-foot-long wings and, together with the other Hippogriffs, flew deep into the Forbidden Forest.
Soon, there were only chains and collars all around. As for whether Hagrid would return without success and there would be no time to find other magical animals, Kyle was not worried at all.
There are several rowan trees next to here, and you can easily find a dozen Bowtruckles on them, enough for one class.
After that, Kyle turned around and returned to the castle.
