"The Philosopher's Stone?"

Kyle raised an eyebrow, looking very interested.

"Is it the kind made by Mr. Nicolas Flamel... Is there such a good thing hidden in Hogwarts?"

"Don't ask, Kyle, I won't tell you." Hagrid frowned and said seriously: "This is top secret, it's not something little wizards like you should know."

"It's a secret..."

Kyle shrugged and said indifferently: "If that's the case, then I won't ask."

Hagrid was suddenly stunned. He didn't expect Kyle to give up so easily. Harry had been pestering him with questions for a long time before.

The two chatted for a while, and Kyle really seemed to have no interest in the Philosopher's Stone and never mentioned it again.

Hagrid suddenly sighed and said subconsciously: "Honestly, I wish Harry could be like you."

"Potter? What's wrong with him?"

"Nothing, nothing..." Hagrid shook his head quickly and said, "I mean he was here just now."

"That's a good thing, Hagrid." Kyle said with a smile: "It proves that he cares about you too."

"Yeah..." Hagrid nodded.

It's really nice to feel cared for, but it would be better if Harry could be less curious and not ask about Fluffy and the Philosopher's Stone every time he saw him.

"By the way, when did Potter come here?" Kyle asked.

"About an hour ago." Hagrid thought for a moment and said, "They only have one class this morning, so they came early."

"them?"

"And Hermione and Ron," said Hagrid. "The three of them have been hanging out together a lot lately."

As he spoke, Hagrid stood up and stirred the pot with his spoon again, and this time he scooped a little and put it in his mouth to taste it.

This made Kyle's stomach churn. He suppressed the discomfort and said, "By the way, Hagrid, has anything strange happened in the Forbidden Forest recently?"

"Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid held the spoon, thought for a moment, then shook his head.

“I don’t know. Because of Lu Wei’s incident these days, I haven’t been inside to take a look.

Why do you ask that? "

"Nothing, it just suddenly occurred to me."

Kyle said: "The man who used dark magic on Fluffy obviously had some intentions, but after alerting Professor Dumbledore, he certainly couldn't do anything to Fluffy anymore, so I'm a little worried that he will set his sights on the Forbidden Forest."

"You mean to say that he will also attack the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest?" Hagrid was startled and the spoon in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

"This is just my guess."

Kyle remained calm and said, "After all, there are many dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, such as werewolves, giant spiders, or unicorns..."

"If they suddenly go crazy and run out of the Forbidden Forest, it will also have a significant impact on Hogwarts."

Hagrid picked up the spoon on the ground and paced back and forth. After a long time, he said solemnly, "You are right. I will go to the Forbidden Forest to have a look in a while."

"Be careful." Kyle reminded: "A wizard who can use dark magic on Fluffy may be as powerful as the professor. You must be careful when you go to the Forbidden Forest."

"Don't worry, I'll pay attention."

Hagrid subconsciously touched his pink umbrella, walked to the shelf in front of the house, picked up a crossbow hanging on it and practiced with it twice.

In the Forbidden Forest, this thing is much more useful than magic.

"You're wrong about one thing, though, Kyle."

Just be careful not to get hit by the horn on top of its head."

"That's hard to say." Kyle retorted: "Don't forget Professor Kettleburn. Didn't he go to St. Mungo's last summer because he was stabbed in the stomach by a unicorn..."

"Ah..." Hagrid was speechless for a moment.

He wanted to say that Professor Kettleburn was an exception, because any normal person would not try to hug the unicorn's head when it was angry.

According to Professor Kettleburn at the time, he was trying to comfort the unicorn and calm it down.

Hagrid still doesn't quite understand this statement.

He didn't know if the unicorn had calmed down, but Professor Kettleburn was quite calm while treating him... He had fainted.

"Also... the unicorn's means of attack are not limited to its horn." Kyle continued, "Don't forget that its blood is also very deadly. What if it runs to a crowded place and explodes on the spot, splashing blood all over other people's faces?

You don't even have to drink it, just touch it to your lips... that kind of curse is hard to get rid of."

"Huh?" Hagrid choked again.

This statement is even more outrageous than that of Professor Kettleburn, who was exposed.

The unicorn exploded on the spot... How is this possible?

"Don't forget Fluffy, Hagrid."

Kyle said seriously: "He couldn't even kill such a cute three-headed dog, let alone a unicorn."

"Ah...yes, you do make sense."

Hagrid's expression gradually became serious, and he nodded seriously, "I'll keep an eye on those unicorns. I happen to know where they often move around."

Kyle stayed here for a while, then hurriedly said goodbye to Hagrid and returned to the castle.

The main reason was that the smell coming from the pot was getting stronger and stronger, and Kyle was afraid that if he stayed any longer, he would vomit up his lunch.

The afternoon class is Defense Against the Dark Arts.

When Professor Quirrell walked into the classroom, everyone noticed that he had a bandage on his arm.

"Professor, are you injured?" someone asked.

"A little... a minor injury." Professor Quirrell stammered, "I was watching a Quidditch match... I don't know who kicked me off the stands and broke my arm..."

"But Professor, that was a few days ago." Someone else said, "I went to the school hospital last year because I broke my arm during a flying lesson, and Madam Pomfrey reattached it to me in a second."

"That's different..." Professor Quirrell said with a red face, "I was... cursed by a vampire... It's very difficult to recover..."

"But Professor, didn't you say last time that the vampire curse only made you afraid of the wind?"

"Maybe... I forgot to say it..."

Quirrell didn't seem to want to talk about it anymore. He simply ignored the questions from other young wizards and forcibly shifted the topic back to the class.

What we are going to learn today is how to identify and deal with red hats.

It is a difficult creature that looks like a goblin. Its traces can be found wherever there is blood. It usually lurks in the dungeons of castles and the trenches of battlefield ruins, waiting to attack those who get lost.

It's just that Professor Quirrell didn't seem to find the red hat, so he used a big lizard instead.

That lizard is an old actor in the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It was also the one who played Hinckley Punk last time, so it’s no problem to say that it’s an assistant teacher.

"Suppose... this is a red hat..."

Professor Quirrell held the lizard on his shoulder and began to read haltingly from the book.
