Chapter 228 Buckbeak(1/2)
"Then can you help me?"
Seeing Harry's excited look, Mike smiled happily.
Harry is indeed still the innocent little angel, still so innocent.
"Of course, but I still need to prepare some things." Mike vowed, "Let's call some people together after I find the venue, and we will learn the Patronus Charm together. Maybe I can convince Lupin by then
The professor is here to teach us."
Harry didn't care about what Mike said about asking Lupine to teach. Since the level of Defense Against the Dark Arts professors at Hogwarts has generally been low in the past two years, even though Lupine performed very well on the train, Harry didn't care.
I still have doubts about Lu Ping's teaching level.
Moreover, Lu Ping is a professor and he is very busy. Why would he come to teach you so late at night for no reason?
Although he was full of doubts in his heart, Harry did not show it on the surface, but thanked Mike very politely.
Seeing this, Mike didn't intend to continue on this topic. If Harry insisted on teaching him tonight, he would be done with it. He hadn't mastered the Patronus Charm yet.
Noticing that Harry was still looking a bit sad after learning about the Patronus Curse, Mike thought about it and said, "What happened to you today? Did anything else happen?"
It was okay if he didn't ask, but once he asked, Harry couldn't hold back any longer, and told Mike all the bad things that happened to him today like he was pouring beans.
Since Harry is really not a good storyteller, and what he said contained strong subjective wishes, it took Mike a long time to figure out what exactly happened today.
It turned out that Harry and others went to their first divination class this morning. They were all happily doing divination experiments, making up strange stories to deceive each other, and having a great time.
However, the professor of Divination, Professor Sybill Trelawney, who had made legendary predictions, actually jumped out and predicted that Harry would die!
If other people were talking about Harry, they would definitely regard it as a joke, but this was a prediction made by the Divination class professor, and the other person also said that he had a nose and eyes, and even told him that he had seen a big black dog.
This made Harry a little doubtful.
But that's not the worst part, Hagrid's first class was in the afternoon, and Harry and others went to cheer for Hagrid.
Most of the usual Care of Magical Creatures classes involve the study of theoretical knowledge. Even the living magical creatures that come into contact are small, less lethal and cute looking creatures like bowtruckles and vixenids.
But Hagrid didn't take the usual path, or his aesthetics were completely different from the public. He actually brought a living Hippogriff!
As the name suggests, the hippogriff is a creature with the head and talons of an eagle, the body of a horse, the tail of a lion, and a pair of large wings covered with feathers.
This creature is actually a cross between a griffon and a female horse. It is huge and somewhat aggressive, but because it has griffin blood, it can also be tamed as a mount.
For the above reasons, the Ministry of Magic gave it a danger rating of 3x, which means that capable wizards can deal with this creature.
In fact, Hagrid was already very conservative. Mike was surprised when he didn't directly pull out a 4x or even 5x creature.
Dealing with this kind of creature is actually very simple, just winning the respect of the other party is enough, and bowing to him is of course one of the ways.
Logically speaking, this should be a thrilling but uneventful lesson, but Hagrid clearly underestimated the naughty child's ability to cause trouble.
The result of this poor consideration was that Malfoy was scratched because he was rude to the hippogriff named Buckbeak.
Although the injury was not serious, it was Malfoy's own fault.
But Hagrid still needs to bear the main responsibility, because he is the professor, and it is he who brought a level 3x magical creature to these third-year students.
And these third-year students are obviously not 'capable wizards'.
"Do you think Hagrid will be expelled because of this matter?"
Harry worriedly asked Mike that he had a good relationship with Hagrid and didn't want him to be expelled just like that.
"Don't worry, you will definitely not be fired, but you will probably have to learn a lesson."
Harry was really worried. Who was Hagrid?
The half-giant with half-giant blood was Dumbledore's right-hand man, and Dumbledore was very kind to him.
You must know that Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts because he was framed by Tom Riddle. His wand was broken by the Ministry of Magic and he was ordered to never use magic. But what was the result?
Dumbledore secretly repaired his wand and hid it in the small pink umbrella he carried with him.
Otherwise, why would Hagrid carry that little umbrella even if it's not raining? Is it to protect him from the sun?
Harry was relieved when he heard Mike say that Hagrid would not be expelled. He didn't know why he trusted Mike so much. He just felt that if Mike said that Hagrid would be fine, then he would be fine.
As for Mike saying that Hagrid would be taught a lesson, Harry didn't care. As long as he wasn't expelled, it was just a lesson. Harry believed that Hagrid could withstand it given his physique.
After Mike told about Hagrid, he also became very interested in the hippogriff named Buckbeak.
He had only seen pictures of these large magical creatures in books before, and had never had close contact with them, so he couldn't help but feel a little itchy.
"I said, how about we go see Hagrid and Buckbeak?"
"this……"
Facing Mike's proposal, Harry hesitated. Did he know that the relationship between Mike and Hagrid was not very good? If the two of them quarreled again, which side should he side with?
"Don't worry, I won't quarrel with Hagrid." Mike promised firmly, "And if something like this happened, shouldn't we go see Hagrid? He may be very sad now."
Harry thought about it and said, "Okay then, I'll ask Ron and Hermione to go with us."
Mike nodded in agreement, and the two began to look for Ron and Hermione together.
Ron is easier to find. This guy is a wizard chess fan. Whenever he has free time, he will stay in the lounge to find someone to play chess with.
But Hermione was in more trouble. Since Hermione had chosen all the electives this year, she was very busy. When Mike and others found her, she was writing homework in the library.
Looking at the pile of books as tall as a person on Hermione's desk, Mike couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
This is a real academic master.
Faced with Mike's invitation, Hermione hesitated and finally agreed.
When the four of them headed towards Hagrid's cabin, Mike finally couldn't help but ask Hermione:
"Hermione, I heard that you signed up for all your electives?"
"Yes, so I have a lot of homework. If possible, I hope we can end this visit as soon as possible so that I can go back and complete the homework as soon as possible."
After hearing Hermione's words, Ron immediately became dissatisfied and whispered: "Then you don't have to come..."
When he was halfway through his words, both Mike and Hermione cast their gazes on his face, causing him to swallow the next words.
Seeing that Ron stopped talking, Mike continued: "No, I'm a little confused now. If I remember correctly, the times of those elective courses conflict with each other. How did you manage to take two courses at the same time?
?”
"Actually, there are three courses, divination and arithmetic..."
Halfway through his words, Ron was once again knocked back by Hermione's angry gaze.
"I will take care of it. I have already discussed it with Professor McGonagall, and she agrees with me to do this." Hermione explained to Mike angrily, and perhaps realizing that what she said was a bit rushed, Hermione then
Min added, "Thank you for your concern, Mike."
Seeing that Hermione didn't want to say more and Mike didn't press for it, he smiled and said, "You're welcome, I'm just worried that you might be tired. To be honest, it's really hard for you to be like this."
When he said this, Mike's eyes kept scanning Hermione's body, and finally fell on a metal necklace around her neck.
And Hermione couldn't help but blush as she listened to Mike's gentle words and felt his hot eyes scanning her body.
Ron, who was walking at the back, saw all this and silently made a retching motion.
The group of people came to Hagrid's cabin talking and laughing, but as soon as they entered, they smelled a strong smell of alcohol.
Hermione, Harry and others couldn't help frowning and covering their noses. Only Mike stepped forward calmly.
I saw Hagrid lying on the ground crookedly, crying and pouring wine into his mouth. There were already piles of wine barrels around him. Each of these wine barrels was huge, half a person tall. Mike was really
I can't imagine how much alcohol Hagrid drank.
Hagrid looked at Mike with drunken eyes and was stunned for a moment before he recognized Mike's identity. He suddenly got angry and roared, and threw the wine barrel in his hand at Mike.
Harry, Hermione and others' expressions changed greatly. They never expected that Hagrid would be drunk and attack Mike, and they suddenly started screaming.
But Mike didn't panic at all. Amid Hermione and the others' screams, Mike silently raised his wand and drew a symbol in the air.
"Armor for protection."
Immediately afterwards, a protective shield suddenly appeared to block the wine barrel.
In just a moment, the wine barrel shattered, and the scarlet wine in the barrel spilled onto the floor, making the smell of wine in the hut even stronger.
"You, a bad boy, are the same as that little Death Eater from the Malfoy family. They are both bad!"
Hagrid stood up while swearing, raised a fist bigger than a casserole, and hit Mike with a fist.
"Fainted."
Mike raised his eyebrows and shot out a red light, knocking Hagrid to the ground.
"It seems I came at the wrong time."
After doing all this, Mike turned around and shrugged his shoulders to Hermione and others who looked shocked.
Only then did Harry and the others react and hurried forward to check Hagrid's condition, but before they could get close to Hagrid lying on the ground, they heard a thunderous snoring sound.
…
Harry and others were speechless.
Mike walked to the grove outside the cabin regardless, and with his magic perception, he could clearly detect the presence of a Hippogriff in the fence there.
