It only took Professor Kettleburn half a class period for everyone to change their previous impression of the Care of Magical Creatures class.
Especially after getting close to the Bowtruckles, they found that these little guys are really interesting.
This is a very simple and magical animal, and it will not hide its emotions. After getting the earthworm, it will happily stretch out its slender arms and hang on the person's clothes to swing.
Or maybe crawl into the pocket of some little wizard's robe and enjoy a delicious snack out of sight.
The students soon lined up in a long line...everyone wanted to play with Bowtruckle for a while longer.
In order to ensure that everyone had access to the Bowtruckle, Professor Kettleburn had to limit each person to only two minutes of interaction time.
In addition, he also went to the Forbidden Forest to get a batch of new Bowtruckles... about twenty of them.
After all, those earlier ones were almost full, but there were still dozens of people queuing behind waiting to be fed.
If the number is not increased, they will not be able to enjoy the fun of this interaction.
When everyone was lining up, Professor Kettleburn would stand by and say loudly:
"Because Bowtruckles never choose to live in trees that do not have magical properties."
"This means that the trees they guard are often useful for making wands."
"So these little guys are so popular with wandmakers... they don't have to bother identifying trees; they just look for Bowtruckles."
…
Professor Kettleburn's lectures are very detailed and interesting.
He always gives answers to students' questions one by one.
"Professor, what would happen if a Bowtruckle were placed in an ordinary forest?" asked a Gryffindor student at the back of the class.
"You'll still live in a tree, but it won't be as comfortable," said Professor Kettleburn. "It's like asking you to leave your warm and comfortable bed and sleep on the top of an astronomical tower. I don't think anyone would find it more comfortable there."
"Well, Professor, if there are five Bowtruckles and six pear trees, which one would they give up?"
"Except for the oldest tree, the other five will be abandoned."
"They usually stay together until they have enough members on a tree and then they move to another tree," Professor Kettleburn said.
"What if all the pear trees were the same?"
"Then choose the one closest to you..."
Gradually, more and more people asked questions, and the questions became more and more tricky. Some people even asked just for the sake of trouble, asking how many Bowtruckles a hungry fire dragon could eat in one bite.
But Professor Kettleburn remained not angry.
"Based on the size of the fire dragon's mouth and the number of Bowtruckles on a tree, there are probably about twelve of them.
But normally, Bowtruckles are not on the menu of Fire Dragons, as they have almost no meat and are very agile, making them difficult to catch.
You can't expect them to just sit there in a tree and wait for a dragon to come."
The students applauded, and the little wizard who asked the question clapped the most vigorously, his hands turned red.
Just like that, the class passed quickly.
Kettleburn came up to Kyle and asked, "Will you feel bored?"
Kyle shook his head. "No, it's interesting."
"To be honest, it's okay."
"Well... a little bit." Kyle scratched his head sheepishly.
Professor Kettleburn smiled and said, “I went to the Hesperidian Islands last night, and Newt went with me, and we happened to talk about you.
He told me a lot about you, and told me that you helped deliver a leopard."
Isn't Newt a social phobic? Why does he tell everything to others?
In order to avoid being labeled with some strange titles, he quickly shook his head and said, "It's all thanks to Mr. Scamander. I just helped a little."
But Kettleburn pretended not to hear him and said to himself, "It seems that the third-year Care of Magical Creatures class is indeed a bit too easy for you."
"It just so happens that I received a letter from Professor McGonagall before class. You chose a lot of courses, right?"
Kyle nodded.
"Go to another class." Professor Kettleburn patted his shoulder. Then he shook his head and muttered:
"It's a pity. If only the Hippogriff had given birth a few days later... With your help, I would be able to have a much easier time."
As he spoke, he rubbed his chest… On that coat made of unknown material, there were three neat white scratches, which should have been caused by the hippogriff.
Kyle's mouth twitched, and he quickly changed the subject: "Professor, where is your prosthetic leg?"

"Oh, lost in the Hesperides. Those big guys are a disaster when they get angry."
…
After saying goodbye to Professor Kettleburn, the two headed towards the castle.
On the way back, Kanna asked curiously, "You can also help magical animals give birth..."
"Let's not talk about this, we are still good friends!"
Kyle said unhappily, "Besides, it's Newt who's helping. I'm just an assistant at best!"
Seeing Kyle's depressed look, Kanna's eyes curved into crescents and she chuckled with her hands covering her mouth.
The second section is History of Magic.
There was nothing much to say about Professor Binns' class. As soon as he started reading out those boring times and names, many little wizards began to feel drowsy.
It has been like this since two years ago and it is still like this now, and there are more and more people like this.
Less than five minutes into the class, a large number of people collapsed in the classroom.
And the students seem to have evolved a magical ability... No matter how noisy they are when sleeping in the dormitory, once they get here, everything becomes very quiet and their sleep quality is excellent.
It was as if the History of Magic table had some magical power.
After class, everyone quickly woke up, left the classroom refreshed, and prepared to go to the auditorium for dinner.
Kyle also met the three Weasley brothers at the entrance of the hall.
They seemed to be discussing something, but when they saw Kyle coming, they ran away quickly.
"Do you know what they're saying?" Kyle asked.
Kanna shook her head, and there were still marks on her face from the books she had read while sleeping.
"It's inexplicable..." Kyle looked at their backs and walked into the auditorium in confusion.
…
There were two consecutive potions classes with Snape in the afternoon.
The first day of the new school year, History of Magic in the morning, Potions in the afternoon... It would be hard to find a worse schedule at Hogwarts.
When leaving the common room, except for Kanna, everyone else had a bad expression, especially those students who had not finished their homework, who could hardly walk steadily.
