Chapter 301: The Clone Is Exposed, the Hippogriff
Leaving the Divination classroom, Harry remained silent and worried.
Others might have doubts, but he had seen the "unknown" mentioned by Professor Trelawney on the night he ran away from home.
Originally, he could still deceive himself into thinking that it was just a coincidence, but now he couldn't help but worry.
Aaron's face was not very good either. He didn't receive a "death notice", but the prophecy about him symbolized what he hated most - trouble.
Although this future may be a few years later, it will come eventually, and he can be sure that the accuracy of this prophecy is as high as 100%.
"Do you think that unknown is related to Sirius Black?" Ron asked.
"It must be related." Aaron said affirmatively, "Although I don't want to say it, Sirius Black is the only one who can be identified."
"To be honest, I think divination is really not worth scrutinizing." Hermione said unhappily, "Arithmancy is much more interesting."
"You say that because the textbook of arithmetic divination is more useful than "Seeing the Future through the Mist"!" Aaron said with some interest.
Arithmancy is to explain people's fate and personality through numbers to predict the future.
Compared with simple numbers, the graphics of tea leaves are much more abstract, and the crystal ball divination to be learned in the future does not even have graphics. It depends entirely on personal talent.
Hermione rolled her eyes, "Professor Victor's numerology is based on a series of rules and rigorous mathematical operations. It has traces to follow."
Aaron shrugged. The learning methods of divination and arithmetic divination seem to be somewhat contradictory. Hermione obviously prefers the one that can give full play to her talent.
"Wait, aren't Divination and Arithmancy at the same time?" Ron looked at Hermione in confusion, "How did you take two classes at the same time?"
"Don't be silly, no one can take two classes at the same time." Hermione said without thinking, but her face turned strange as soon as she finished speaking.
She barely managed to move between several elective courses with the help of the time converter, but Aaron did not use this prop, but he also appeared in the Arithmancy classroom this morning.
Oops! Is the thought body going to be exposed?
Aaron saw Hermione's puzzled eyes and instantly realized what she was thinking.
"Ahem... That, Gryffindor's next class is Transfiguration, don't let Professor McGonagall wait anxiously."
"Wait." Hermione immediately stopped Aaron, and then looked at Harry and Ron, "You go first, I have something to talk to him about."
The two looked at each other and left quickly.
Hermione then asked meaningfully, "Shouldn't you explain it to me?"
"What to explain?"
"You're asking even though you know the answer." Hermione snorted, "How did you appear in two classrooms at the same time when you didn't use the time converter?"
"Maybe I did?" Aaron put on a smile and tried to hide the past.
"Really?"
Hermione approached slowly, her watery eyes were playful, serious and a little teasing, like a ferocious fox staring at the weak, pitiful and ignorant little white rabbit.
She pointed to the time-turner on her neck and said meaningfully, "I didn't see your watch."
"Maybe..."
"Don't tell me you lost it." Hermione crossed her arms and interrupted, "That's a magic item related to time. If you lost it, you wouldn't be so calm."
A hint of helplessness flashed across Aaron's eyes, and he shook his head with a wry smile, "I was careless!
I really didn't expect you to sign up for five elective courses like me, and I didn't expect Professor McGonagall to apply for a time-turner for you."
Hermione smiled immediately, "Can you tell me? How did you appear in two classrooms at the same time?"
"No, this is my secret.
And you can't tell anyone else."
"I know, I promise not to tell anyone." Hermione smiled, "How many people know your secret?"
"Several, but you are the only one who discovered it yourself." Aaron sighed helplessly. To be more precise, she is the only one who knows in this world. Even Dumbledore and his family don't know that he has a thought body clone.
"Hearing you say that, I still feel quite accomplished." Hermione smiled proudly, "It doesn't matter if you don't tell me, there are many answers in the book, I will figure it out myself."
Aaron:......
Forget it, it's not unacceptable for the thought body to be discovered, but his ability must not be exposed.
......
After lunch, it's the Care of Magical Creatures class.
Aaron took Abe to the outside of the castle, and one person and one dragon breathed the fresh air after the rain.
Gryffindor and Slytherin who signed up for this elective course gathered in front of Hagrid's hut one after another, and they all held a strange book in their hands-"Monster Book of Monsters".
"By the way, come closer, please don't talk." Hagrid, wearing a moleskin coat, looked at the more than 20 students surrounding him with a little excitement, "I'll feast your eyes today, a wonderful lesson, follow me."
Hagrid led the students to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where the stone fence formed a small enclosure.
"Students, stand in a group and turn the book to page 49."
"But how do I open this book?" Draco asked lazily. His book was undoubtedly a collector's edition, but it was no different from the ordinary edition. It would still bite people after opening it.
"Just stroke it." Aaron casually stroked Abe's back, "Just like this."
"Very good, Gaius." Hagrid looked at Abe excitedly, "Just like stroking a dragon, no, just like stroking a cat."
He walked up to Aaron and wanted to do it.
But as soon as he stretched out his hand, Abe showed his fangs and growled a warning.
"Professor Hagrid, I personally don't think my cat likes you very much." Aaron reminded.
Hagrid took his hand back with some regret, and then took Hermione's textbook and stroked it down the spine with his thumb.
The textbook trembled, but it didn't bite people after it was opened, but lay quietly in Hagrid's hand like an ordinary book.
Seeing this, the students also stroked their textbooks, and then opened them with confidence.
Except for Neville Longbottom, although a summer vacation had passed, his forgetfulness was still not changed. He opened the textbook without touching it, and was particularly embarrassed by the "Monster Book of Monsters", and his wizard robe was bitten with several holes.
"These books are so funny." Hermione said.
"Yes! It's so funny." Draco sneered, "Clever design, this school will be finished if it continues like this.
If my dad knew that Dumbledore asked Hagrid to teach, it would be a big deal."
"Draco." Aaron said helplessly, "Hagrid's understanding of magical animals is enough for him to be a professor."
"He knows a lot about magical animals, but that doesn't mean he can teach!" Draco said confidently, "Don't forget, this giant has no teaching experience."
"Shut up, Malfoy." Harry couldn't help saying.
"Be careful, Potter, there is a Dementor behind you." Draco teased, "Potter, I know you have a good relationship with Rubeus Hagrid, but there is nothing wrong with what I said!"
Harry opened his mouth and was speechless.
No one wanted Hagrid's first class to be a success more than he did, but in fact even he himself was worried about some teaching accidents. After all, ordinary people would not dare to keep those fierce magical animals as pets.
At this time, more than a dozen animals appeared not far away. They had the bodies, hind legs and tails of horses, the heads, front claws and wings of eagles.
They all wore a collar around their necks, and Hagrid tied them with chains and slowly walked into the paddock.
"Hippogriffs." Aaron murmured in surprise.
"You know them?" Hermione asked, and Harry and Ron also looked at him curiously.
"I have read as many books as you, but this kind of magical animal is the first time I have seen it."
"No matter how magical it is, it can't compare to your... cat." Draco said, and Abe immediately raised his proud dragon head and gave Draco an approving look.
You still have vision, it is the well-deserved boss in the magical animal circle of Hogwarts.
In the past, Dumbledore's phoenix could barely stand on equal footing with it, but now that it has evolved once, it can definitely beat the bird.
"Since you know about the Hippogriff, then..." Ron asked hesitantly, "Is it dangerous?"
"It depends." Aaron smacked his lips, "The Hippogriff is the offspring of a male griffin and a female horse. It is very ferocious before being tamed, but it will not hurt you after being tamed."
"That means..." Harry swallowed, "We have to tame it next?"
"Almost."
"Is it dangerous?" Hermione asked a little nervously, and she was a little scared of dealing with such a large magical animal.
"You should have confidence in Hagrid." Aaron said easily, "It's not dangerous for me, it's even easy, but you... you'd better follow the rules.
In fact, to be frank, although the hippogriff is strange, it is just an animal. As long as you are strong enough, you don't have to follow any rules, it will automatically surrender."
"Strong enough?" Draco touched his chin, showing a bit of eagerness to try.
"Don't think about it." Aaron patted his shoulder, "You'd better do what Hagrid says."
Hagrid led a blue-gray hippogriff to the paddock. Looking at its body that was bigger than a horse, everyone was curious and nervous.
"Is it beautiful?" Hagrid fed it a dead polecat to mobilize its emotions, "Everyone, let's meet Buckbeak, a hippogriff.
First of all, you have to understand that they are very arrogant, tempered and not easy to mess with. Don't humiliate the hippogriff, or you may lose your life.
Now, who will say hello to it?"
