Chapter 568 Care of Magical Creatures Lesson

Regret! Very upset!

Yet Harry couldn't help but feel delighted at Hagrid's performance.

The second Hagrid greeted him, he guessed why.

Now, nothing in the Forbidden Forest escapes Hagrid's eyes.

Not to mention his complaints just now.

There are two possibilities for this surprise.

One was to use the experiment done by the Gryffindors and Slytherins in the previous class.

The second is to make changes based on his complaints.

Hagrid, who was not far away, shouted, "5 points for guessing what today's class will be about!
Is there anyone who wants to come?"

"Here I go! Hippocampus!" Justin Finch-Fletchley quickly raised his hand and answered.

"Hi!

Finch-Fletchley, you didn't just look at the name.

"I'm sorry, that's the wrong answer." Hagrid shook his head in disappointment, "You're talking about a monster that's native to Greece and lives in the Mediterranean.

Its head and front body are like a horse, while its tail and back body are like a big fish.

This makes it look like a large seahorse.

Of course, I do have the power to bring this rare and beautiful creature.

But we are not at the lake now.

Okay, next one!
I hope it’s more reliable than this.”

"Hodag!

Although its head looks like a frog, it can live on land.

And it feeds on the moon beast.

As far as I know, there are moon-crazed beasts in our woods." Ernie MacMillan raised his hand and answered.

"Very good!" Hagrid clapped, but the Hufflepuff students around him had no time to be happy.

He put away the smile on his face again and said, "But you forgot one thing.

You probably haven't heard that there are wizards in Britain who can stay awake for days and nights and still be full of energy.

However, there are many in the United States.

The Daily Prophet reported this last year.

The secret lies in the regenerable horn of the sacred animal.

If you take the powder made from it, you can stay awake for several days and nights.

And there are no sequelae.

This also makes American wizards regard the sacred horned animals as a strategic resource.

Want to get one——

Alas, it’s really difficult.

I used to -

Oh, okay, next one, I feel like you guys are getting closer to the answer!"

Ernie raised his hand again.

But this time he seemed very confident, "I know, the answer is actually Horse!

You are definitely here to expand our minds.

Unicorns are magical creatures that are similar to horses.

But this is another trap.

Unicorns are all too common in the Forbidden Forest.

And I discovered at yesterday's dinner that you have a very good relationship with Madame Maxime, the headmistress of Beauxbatons.

The horses that pulled Beauxbatons' carriage also disappeared.

Then there is only one answer.

The creature starting with H you mentioned actually refers to the Abraxan!

It also happens not to be available in the UK.

Rare enough, yet easy to get now!

If you like wild animals, you will definitely choose this as the subject of your first class!" Hagrid showed an expression of admiration on his face.

The surrounding Hufflepuffs applauded this time.

Even the Ravenclaw students almost couldn't help but join in the applause.

Still, Hagrid shook his head.

He said with a tone that was half admiration and half disappointment: “This time it’s really good.

After hearing it, I almost thought it was a divine horse.

But it's a pity.

I did not expect that.

If we had known that this was possible, we would have taught this lesson on the Rune Horse.

I just saw that when everyone else thought this guy was right, you subconsciously shook your head.

You must have known.”

Everyone looked at Harry.

Harry could only say, "It's a Hippogriff.

The only thing I had over Ernie was that I knew Hagrid better.

Ron, Draco, Neville, Ginny and I had warned him.

So for the first class, he would definitely choose a magical creature from category XXX (which capable wizards can handle).

And Hagrid liked wild animals.

I also thought about Pegasus (The Tale Horse Iseron Graling Thestral).

But Hagrid always liked to be direct.

This puzzle certainly doesn't beat around the bush.

So it can only be a hippogriff."

Hagrid couldn't help wiping away his tears, "Ten points for Ravenclaw! For knowing me so well, Harry.

And five points for Hufflepuff! Ernie, it's hard for me to say you're wrong."

Hagrid pulled off the black curtain and whistled.

With the sound of a whistle, the creatures behind the curtain appeared.

There are twelve in total.

They were coming towards them.

They have the bodies, hind legs and tails of horses, but their front legs, wings and heads are those of eagles, with steel-colored beaks and large, bright orange eyes.

The claws on their front legs are half a foot long and look lethal.

Each beast had a thick feather collar around its neck, but there was nothing to restrain them.

Then another whistle sounded.

Even though there were no hand gestures or chains or other restraints, these creatures, which looked like they were not easy to deal with, obediently came to the fence where the whole class was standing.

Everyone stepped back a little.

Because this fence hardly gives people a sense of security.

“Don’t be afraid!
They are beautiful, aren't they?

Look at their shiny, sparkling fur!

And each one is different!
This is Buckbeak, in stormy grey!

This is bronze in color.

This is a pink piebald color.

This is a sparkling reddish brown.

This is inky black.

"Hagrid introduced the names of each of the Hippogriffs one by one.

What was even more surprising, however, was when Hagrid approached.

They all lowered their proud heads obediently.

You know, the Hippogriff is a very proud and easily tempered magical creature.

When dealing with it, it must act first.

If it is made to feel offensive, it can be hurtful.

But Hagrid did nothing.

Moreover, when they were pulled against the fence and watched by the students, they did not feel the slightest bit of offense or dissatisfaction.

This is far beyond being tamed.

Rather, Hagrid was like their king.

For the sake of their king, they were willing to hide their pride and follow Hagrid's lead like dull horses.

This made Harry think of the name he heard in the vision - Stone Hagrid the Thunderborn of the Hagrid family, Hercules, King of the Forbidden Forest, Controller of Giant Creatures, Mentor in the Mirkwood, Liberator and Lord of Dragons.

There is no doubt that Hagrid truly inherited the power of that great being.

All ignorant magical creatures will be controlled by it.

That's why Hagrid didn't need to keep them chained.

Because no matter how strong the chains in the material world are, they cannot compare to Hagrid's control over the minds of these creatures.

This kind of domination is not hypnosis.

Not cheating.

But be grateful!

Because by getting rid of the animal nature, we gain true sober gratitude.

And then willingly be dominated!
