Chapter 364 Hippogriff



"Hagrid, your first class is about to start."

In a paddock next to the forbidden forest.

Kyle, who had just finished lunch, looked at Hagrid who was busy and asked, "How is the preparation going?"

“Too nervous.”

Hagrid was carrying a wooden shelf and said excitedly, "I got up at five in the morning and prepared everything. I hope the class goes well... I finally became a professor...

When Professor Dumbledore told me the news...I couldn't sleep well for several days, and I dreamed about school starting soon."

"You'd better not tell this to anyone else."

Kyle smiled and said, "You know, students all hope that the vacation can be as long as possible."

"I don't get to decide how much vacation I get." Hagrid smiled happily. "It's incredible... I'm a professor..."

He seemed to think that the shelf was not placed in the right place, so he moved it to another direction and asked:

"Kyle, when are you coming to my class? Tomorrow right?"

"Tomorrow afternoon, the first class is."

Kyle looked at him and suddenly said, "But Hagrid, I think you'd better change to another magical creature."

"What?" Hagrid seemed not to hear clearly and was still adjusting the position of the shelf.

Kyle continued, "If I were you, I would definitely not let those third graders come into contact with hippogriffs in the first class."

"Well, don't worry, I've got everything ready."

Hagrid turned around and said, "I spent three weeks preparing this surprise. The first class will definitely be amazing... Why haven't they come yet? I really want it to start soon."

As he spoke, Hagrid couldn't help but look towards the castle.

But soon, he seemed to realize something.

"etc……"

"Kyle, how did you know that I was going to introduce Buckbeak and the others in class? You sneaked off to the Forbidden Forest. I've told you before that the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous and you must never enter without permission."

"Of course not, and there is no need for that."

Kyle said, "You won't forget, in the Monster Book of Monsters, the first chapter is about the Hippogriff."

"And these...are the foods you prepared for them."

Kyle pointed to the polecat hanging on the shelf and said, "Anyone who knows a little about magical animals knows that this is the favorite food of the Hippogriff."

"Is it so obvious?" Hagrid looked a little frustrated. "I thought I was hiding it well."

"Change it." Kyle said again, "A magical creature of the XXX level, such as the Hippogriff, is not suitable for those third-year students."

"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Hagrid said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'll remind them when the time comes. As long as they remain polite, the Hippogriff is not dangerous at all."

"Then can you guarantee that they will all listen to you?" Kyle asked back: "Harry and the others will definitely be fine, but what about those in Slytherin?"

Hagrid moved his lips and whispered, "But I'm a professor... they can't just disobey me..."

"Are you sure?"

But Kyle didn't care and continued, "In fact, the content of our first Care of Magical Creatures class last year was Bowtruckle, but some students still got their fingers stabbed.

Even Bowtruckles are like this, not to mention ferocious beasts like Hippogriffs. Moreover, they have bad tempers. Once someone behaves rudely, they will be angered, which is very dangerous.

You can’t guarantee that every one of them will obey you, and you can’t keep an eye on everyone. It’s unrealistic.”

The more Kyle talked, the quieter Hagrid became.

He had thought of everything before, except what would happen if the students didn't obey.

"You can choose others." Kyle counted them one by one. "Bowtruckle, Fairy, Niffler, Billywig, Kneazle...these are much better than Hippogriff."

"But..." Hagrid muttered, "This is my first class. I want to impress them. There's nothing better than a Hippogriff... They're so beautiful. Much prettier than the Nifflers."

“For most students, they probably don’t think that way. As a professor, you have to learn to think from the students’ perspective.

"As for being impressive..."

Kyle raised an eyebrow, “If you can get a unicorn cub, I guarantee that your first class will be a blast.

It just so happens that young unicorns will not reject boys. If you can let them touch or hug the golden little one, then before the get out of class is over, you will be the most popular professor in Hogwarts, and even Headmaster Dumbledore will have to line up behind you. "

"D-Professor Dumbledore..."

Hagrid suddenly became a lot more nervous, and said at a loss: "This, this is impossible, you are kidding again."

Then he thought for a moment and said, "If it is a unicorn cub, there is indeed one in the Forbidden Forest, and it just turned one month old today, but Katita will not agree to let me bring it here."

Katita was probably the name of a unicorn... Hagrid was always keen on naming every magical animal in the Forbidden Forest. I don't know how he remembered them all.

"It's because it's difficult that it makes a lasting impression."

Kyle glanced at the time and said, "There is less than half an hour left before class starts. If you have any ideas, you'd better act quickly.

After hesitating for a moment, Hagrid turned and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

Later, Kyle also found a group of chained hippogriffs in the forbidden forest behind the paddock.

Just as Hagrid had said, these creatures were indeed beautiful, with their shiny, shimmering feathers in different colors, stormy gray, crystal reddish brown, and inky black...

They shook their ferocious heads and stretched out their powerful wings, seeming very reluctant to be tied up like this.

Kyle walked over and untied their chains and leather collars one by one.

"Fly..." he said softly.

The grey Hippogriff stepped forward and bent his front knees in a gesture of unmistakable bow.

Then it spread its twelve-foot-long wings and flew away into the depths of the Forbidden Forest along with the other hippogriffs.

Soon, there were only chains and collars all around. Kyle was not worried at all whether Hagrid would return empty-handed or have no time to look for other magical creatures.

There are several mountain pear trees nearby. You can easily find more than a dozen bowtruckles on them, enough for a class.

Only then did Kyle turn around and go back to the castle.
