Chapter 198 Buckbeak
"Then, students, it's time to open your eyes!" Hagrid said excitedly, and his voice also successfully attracted Fan Lin, Harry and others who were talking.
Harry just started a new round of war of words with Malfoy. This is also a relatively common thing. However, Harry's mouth is not as good as Malfoy's. War of words usually results in failure. Harry's character is too impulsive. , typical Gryffindor.
Fanlin felt that he and Hermione should go to Ravenclaw, maybe that way there wouldn't be so much trouble, but the fact was that Hermione took the lead in admission, and both of them entered the arms of Gryffindor.
But soon, Fan Lin was frightened by Hagrid.
Twelve of the strangest horses he had ever seen trotted towards them.
They have the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings, and head appear to be those of an eagle, and they have steel-colored sharp beaks and large, bright orange eyes. The claws on their front legs are half a foot long and look deadly. Around the neck of each beast was a thick feathered collar, with a long chain attached to it. The ends of these chains were held in Hagrid's big hand, and he jogged after the animals. Paddock.
"Get over there!" shouted Hagrid, shaking his chain and calling the guy over to the fence where the class was standing. Everyone stood back as Hagrid approached and tied the guys to the fence.
"Hippogriff!" Hagrid roared happily. Waving a hand towards them, "They are beautiful, aren't they?"
"The Hippogriff..." Fan Lin said a little badly. He had read in the book that "The Fantastic Beasts Are There" mentioned something about the Hippogriff. He was extremely proud and would only recognize him. The wizard lowers his head and is not as dangerous as the similar Thunderbird. It can be tamed by the wizard, but it is very aggressive.
Due to their purely aggressive nature, Hagrid should not have brought these majestic creatures to class without protection.
"This is really..." Hermione said speechlessly, she knew that Hagrid would not play according to the routine.
Fan Lin can still understand some of Hagrid's meaning. The first sight of this half-horse, half-bird guy is a shock, but once the shock wears off, you'll admire its shiny fur, which smoothly transitions from feathers to fur, and comes in different colors: dark grey, Bronze, pinkish sand (red and white), shiny chestnut, and finally jet black.
"Well," said Hagrid, wiping his hands together and smiling at the class, "if you want to come closer..." No one seemed to want to. However, only Fanlin, Harry, Ron and Hermione walked towards the fence cautiously.
The others seemed frightened by the hippogriff, and they followed behind the four.
However, when Hagrid threw a dead gray marten to the hippogriff, Fanlin's mood that had just calmed down suddenly turned bad again. He always felt that the hippogriff was chewing his body.
"Well, the first thing you must know about Hippogriffs is that they are proud," said Hagrid, "and it is easy to offend them. Never offend a Hippogriff, because That’s probably the last thing you want to do.”
However, Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle were not listening; they were talking in low voices, which gave Harry the unpleasant feeling that they were trying to sabotage the lesson.
"You always have to wait for the Hippogriff to make the first move," Hagrid continued. "That's polite, you know? You walk up to it, you bow, and then you wait. If it bows back to you, You can touch it. If it doesn't bow, get away from it because those claws are going to hurt."
Well, it’s a very simple way, mainly to tame the Hippogriff based on its face and mood. Fan Lin felt a little unreliable, but this was exactly Hagrid's style, and Fan Lin also liked these magical animals. If he didn't eat ferret meat...
"Okay - who comes first?" In response, most of the students stood back. Even Harry, Ron and Hermione were scared. The monsters were shaking their heads angrily and spreading their powerful wings; they seemed unwilling to be restrained like this.
However, Fanlin was thinking about other things, which caused him to change from staying in place to standing at the front of the team. In fact, he was very reluctant to have some contact with the hippogriff, even in his current human form. .
"Oh, Fan Lin..." Hagrid said happily. He thought Fan Lin took the initiative and was sorting out the Hippogriff's emotions.
"What?" Fan Lin just came back to his senses. He looked back and saw that Hermione, who was standing next to him, was now two feet away from him.
"What are you still doing? Come here, I know you must like these things..." Hagrid has a basis for saying this. At least he completed his Animagus transformation in Fanlin. At least, they often discuss magic together. About animals, and for Nobovlin, he often went to feed them with Hagrid.
"Hurry up..." Hagrid said excitedly, "I won't let you down."
Fan Lin looked back at his friends, but none of them came forward. You know, there were a dozen hippogriffs.
Seemingly feeling Fan Lin's gaze, Hermione hesitated for a moment, and then she came behind Fan Lin.
"Sorry, Fanlin, we can't let Hagrid down..." With that, Hermione pushed Fanlin with her hand.
"This is really..." Fanlin collapsed silently in his heart. It seems that he can't escape being the first to come forward. He doesn't want to go to the hospital yet. He hasn't received any response to his novel. He still has many magic experiments to complete. He still has to...
Okay, Fanlin has walked in front of Hagrid.
"This is not like you, young man. By the way, is there any news about Thunderbird and Venomous Rhinoceros..." Hagrid asked in a low voice. These two creatures are his next target.
"I don't know about Venomous Rhinoceros, but you can go to the United States to find Thunderbird..." Fanlin was speechless, "You don't plan to use them as a course this semester..."
"Oh... maybe... Anyway, you should deal with Buckbeak first..." Hagrid hesitated, obviously he really wanted to do what Fanlin said.
"Okay..." Fanlin said helplessly, "Maybe you should write to Mr. Newt for help. As the most famous zoologist, I think he will be able to guide you well and be happy to do so." (To be continued)
