A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 148: Fantastic Beasts
Not long after, the male unicorn came back, walked gracefully in front of the three of them, lowered his head and put down the empty bucket.
At close range, Felix found that its mane was shining, as white as pearls, and even the gray Forbidden Forest couldn't hide the light jumping on it.
On the high brown slope, a slender unicorn watched them from a distance, and beside it was a small unicorn with golden fluff.
"Look~look~" Hagrid couldn't help rubbing his hands, and said obsessively, "That's your child, isn't it, Ruby?"
The unicorn named "Ruby" rubbed Hagrid's hand affectionately.
Soon, Ruby jumped up the **** in a few steps and left with his family.
The mottled silver-white light followed their figures until they disappeared completely.
"Let me show you around," said Hagrid, "I'm fine anyway."
He looked at the black hound: "Yaya, you go home first."
Ya Ya bared his white teeth and let out a "woo woo" cry——
"Go, don't worry, I'll be back later." Hagrid stroked its head with his big hand.
It wasn't until Fang disappeared that Hagrid realized that he was still holding a bucket in his hand.
"I should have asked Fang to take the bucket home," he said ruefully.
Felix touched it with his wand, transforming it into a silver cane.
Hagrid waved it twice excitedly—the stick drew an impenetrable silver light and made a whistling sound, almost hitting Belby on the head.
"Look out, Hagrid!"
"I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, your name is Baby"
"Belby, Damocles Belby."
"Oh, uh, well, Professor Belby."
In the dense jungle, Hagrid walked ahead, with Felix and Belby following behind him.
They talked as they walked——
"Hagrid, I heard that there are werewolves and trolls in the Forbidden Forest... Is it true?" Felix asked with interest. I never encountered them when I was traveling at night.
"You said that," Hagrid muttered, "there are indeed, but it's on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, not next to us."
Because of making wolfbane potion, Belby had an in-depth understanding of the werewolf group. He couldn't help asking: "Why are there werewolves living in the Forbidden Forest?"
Hagrid's eyes widened, and he stopped to think for a long time. Finally, he waved his big hand and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know. Most werewolves live alone, and I know some who live with wolves Well, I think, they may be heartbroken..."
A few people skipped the topic, and Felix asked: "Hagrid, are there any interesting magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest?"
This question hit Hagrid's heart, and he said a series of names: "Acromantula, Hippogriff, Billywig, Thestral, Fluffy the Three-Headed Dog, Tebow Warthog, Bowtruckle, Hinkpunk, Manticore..."
Belby quickly memorized some names that sounded dangerous.
"There are a lot of humanoid creatures, besides centaurs, trolls and werewolves, I remember seeing a group of flower fairies." Hagrid said, "Of course, they just look like humans, with wings The kind."
Felix knew about these creatures, fairy or flower fairy, usually 1 to 5 inches, very similar to people - except for a pair of insect wings on the back.
They are generally divided into groups according to different types of wings, some are transparent and some are colorful.
Unlike the wise fairies often seen in Muggle fairy tales, this creature is generally low in intelligence, quarrelsome, and unable to speak human languages.
But Felix's point is not here——
"The three-headed dog Lu Wei? I seem to have heard this name somewhere."
"Ahem!" Hagrid coughed violently, and he explained in a panic, "I must have misheard, did I mention it to you?"
Felix looked at him with calm eyes. For some reason, Hagrid suddenly felt that his eyes resembled Dumbledore's. Wei is raised in the Forbidden Forest, that is a three-headed dog I raised, the specific situation is very complicated..."
"Hagrid," Felix said softly, "as far as I know, a three-headed dog is more dangerous than a lone troll."
"Ah, this, that..." Hagrid hesitated for a while, and finally said with his head downcast: "Your words make sense, Felix. So I drove it deep into the Forbidden Forest, It's farther away from the school than here. I go to see it once a month, poor Lu Wei, it's still so small..."
He sniffled sadly, with tears in his eyes.
Felix and Belby were silent and did not speak. An adult three-headed dog was at least three to four meters tall.
…
With Hagrid's guidance, Belby's goal was quickly accomplished, and Felix also picked up a lot of miscellaneous materials.
They saw Bowtruckles covered in lumps that looked like brown branches. These little guys were crawling on the wand tree and looking down;
Saw the Hippogriff family with eagle head, horse body and wings, which perfectly fits its own name, and their bright orange eyes are particularly eye-catching;
There is also a Hincklepunk hiding near a body of water, and a blue Billywig bug occupying an area...
Felix even picked up the claw of an acromantula on a rocky, winding path~IndoMTL.com~.
The sky was getting darker, and the only light in the Forbidden Forest was rapidly disappearing, and the trees seemed to have turned black. They were about to return to the castle.
"The road is too far, so we may not be able to make it to dinner time." Hagrid raised his arm, using his silver cane and the other arm to push aside the dense branches and leaves above his head, and said, looking at the glowing sky.
Following his movements, golden light fell down, forming a dazzling halo around the three of them.
Felix squinted his eyes, adjusting to the sudden bright light.
"I have a better way, Hagrid."
He stretched out his hands, one on Belby's shoulder, the other on Hagrid's waist—
"What?" Hagrid asked in astonishment.
In the next second, their bodies quickly twisted and disappeared in place.
The branch that lost its support suddenly bounced back, and a few leaves fluttered down.
On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, not far from Hagrid's hut, three figures suddenly appeared.
Hagrid looked at the surrounding environment, and after seeing his hut, he shouted excitedly: "This is Apparation? It's so convenient! To be honest, I've never experienced this magic..."
"I've heard old wizards in taverns say that people who use portkeys and apparation to get around are idiots - it takes at least half a day to get used to that disgusting feeling, but it's not. They speak so badly."
Felix shook his head, taking Hagrid to apparate was much more laborious than himself.
Just after eight o'clock, he heard a knock on the door, pushed the door open, and saw his assistant standing outside the door.
"Professor, I have some questions I want to ask you about choosing courses."
