Chapter Eighty-Seven: Hermione the Great Prophet
It seemed to rain suddenly in the wee hours of last night, but it was pleasant to note that the morning was nice, the weather was clear, the wind was pleasant, with a hint of misty light gray, and the Slytherin students and Gryffindor students were going to class together today, in the magical biology class that had changed teachers.

"To be on the safe side, I'd better stay away today. Malfoy stood on the wet grass and wandered the world, and he remembered the original trajectory, and he had died in the first lesson. Speaking of cowardice, he didn't have the confidence to quickly dodge the sharp claws of the slap, he didn't like these magical creatures very much, he could stay away, he hated those cats and dogs the most in his previous life, and it was difficult to understand those who called dogs sons.
As a normal person, it is difficult to understand the thinking of some dog fans.
"Draco, what are you thinking?" Pansy tilted her head to stare at him, her expression as usual, as if she had forgotten her own initiative yesterday.
"Nothing. He shrugged, "I was just wondering what the big guys were going to do for us." He decided to speak to Pansy in the same tone as usual.
It's not that he can't see Pansy's affection for him, it's just that he has no interest in attacking a thirteen or fourteen-year-old girl, which is too sinful for him to accept even in open England.
"Childhood sweethearts?" he thought back to this somewhat evil thought in his mind, and remembered the first time they met, she should have been so tall, and Malfoy made a gesture in his mind.
"Compared with the bear child I saw before, Wen Neng pretended to cry and coaxed his parents, and Wu Neng dismantled the figure with his bare hands, she was actually not qualified. He thought to himself that she was called "Squib" at that time, a swaggering appearance, and she had been cultivated for so many years under the three views of her parents who were not "healthy", which should be acceptable.
And it seems that he has almost been educated by himself now, and the stories he said before, even if she deliberately misinterpreted them sometimes to make him cry and laugh, he really listened to them.
At least he hadn't heard much of what she said, "Mudblood." Something like that.
Maybe I still think of her as a tsundere sister now.
It's just that who knows what the future holds?
"Well, I think it's definitely a bunch of disgusting flat-haired brutes. Pansy wrinkled her nose.
"If so, then we'll just stand and watch. Malfoy didn't want her to take any risks, and he had suffered more than once from the butterfly effect.
"Hmm. Pansy nodded obediently.
I can't afford to provoke, I can always afford to hide.
Hagrid was waiting for his student in front of the hut, dressed in a moleskin coat, looking a little nervous, after all, this was his first class, and his hound, circling under his feet, was more anxious than he was." Come on, hurry up, hurry up!" He shouted, and by this time the students had approached. "There's something good to treat you today! A great lesson is coming! Are you all here? Okay, follow me!"
The two of them had arrived early, the rest of the students were Slytherin and the rest of the Gryffindor, and Malfoy had keenly noticed that the trio had separated again, Harry and Ron walking together, and Hermione standing alone under a tree, her eyes still red. He didn't know what was going on with the trio, and he didn't bother to bother with it.
He wasn't there for yesterday's dinner.
Hermione looked over as if sensing his gaze, which embarrassed Malfoy.
"Let's go, let's go. Hagrid's loud voice diverted their attention.
"Everybody come up to this fence!" He exclaimed, "That's right—stand where you can see." Now, the first thing you have to do is open the book—"
A Slytherin student sarcastically asked, "How do we open this book?"
"There won't be any point in complaining. Malfoy said, then loosened the rope that had tied his book, and with a slight stroke of his finger on the spine of the book, the book shook and was opened obediently.
"Perfect!" the student who had been taunting Hagrid immediately applauded in admiration, and the other students did the same.
"Hmm—" Hagrid was silent for a moment, then said in a gruff voice, "Slytheringa ten." ", I also wondered a little in my heart, did he tell this method to the kid in front of him?
Harry and Ron were both surprised, they didn't expect Hagrid to actually give Slytherin points first, but that's right, they didn't think that Hagrid would be good to favor the students of his house like Snape, so if he did, he wouldn't be Hagrid.
"You're all going to be in control of these books, well, now that you're lacking only magical creatures, I'm going to have to go find them. Hagrid muttered to himself, and walked with his broad steps into the woods.
"He's not going to bring a dragon out. Pansy asked, tugging at the corner of Malfoy's coat.
"If the dragon hadn't been sent away, you might still be able to see it. Malfoy said to himself, but he still said, "I don't think so." ”
"Oooh-oh!" Lavender-Brown screamed, a Gryffindor girl, as if she had seen something terrible, her mouth growing, and she pointed across the paddock, and it seemed that the "danger" was coming from that direction.
I saw twelve of the strangest creatures that no one had ever seen in their lives walking briskly towards them. They have the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings, and head appear to be those of an eagle, and they have a steel-colored beak and large bright orange eyes. The claws on their front legs are half a foot long, and they look lethal. Each beast had a thick feathered collar around its neck, and a long chain was tied to it, the ends of which were held in Hagrid's large hand, and he followed them as he jogged into the paddock. "Go over there!" He yelled, shaking the chains, and yelling at the guys to come to the fence where the class was standing. When Hagrid approached and tied the guys to the fence, everyone stepped back. "Hippogriff!" Hagrid yelled happily. Dancing a hand at them, "They're pretty, aren't they?"
To be sure, these fantastical creatures are quite formidable, their shiny fur transitioning from feathers to feathers without any sense of disobedience, with a variety of harsh colors, dark gray, bronze, pink sand hair (red and white), shiny chestnut, and finally jet black, with their proud heads raised and their nostrils spewing a little rough, obviously looking down on the little ones in front of them.
"So," said Hagrid, rubbing his hands together and smiling at the students, "if you want to get closer." No one seems to want to do that. However, Harry and Ron cautiously walked towards the fence, they should not be particularly reluctant, but it was not something they wanted to see if they did not go to the cold field, they had to help Hagrid.
"Well, the first thing you must know about Hippogriffs is that they are proud," said Hagrid, "and it's easy to offend them. Never offend a Hippogriff, as this may be the last thing you want to do. ”
Malfoy nodded approvingly.
Hermione stayed on the periphery and watched, farther away from the Hippogriff than Malfoy and Pansy, she was alone, she now found that she didn't really have any friends to talk to except Ron and Harry, and she subconsciously regretted what she said yesterday.
Because it seems that these creatures can really bring "blood and light disasters".
"Anyway, I don't have any aura, so I definitely won't hit it. Hermione reassured herself, her eyes drifting towards Ron and Harry from a distance, and her eyes caught Malfoy and Pansy talking not far away.
"Why didn't he dare step forward?" she was a little puzzled, friends and foes aside, Hermione could only admit that Malfoy was much better than her in terms of learning, but he didn't seem to want to be in the limelight in today's class.
And seeing the intimacy of the two of them, her mood became even more irritable for no reason.
"Oh, Harry, thank you, whether you succeed or not, Gryffindor today will add ten points to your courage. Hagrid's thick voice drew her attention again, and his tone was a mixture of worry and delight.
Harry was about to be the first to face the "monsters", he took a few steps forward, only to hear the students behind him scream, and several of the schoolgirls said, "Oh no, Harry, think about your tea!"
Hermione also remembered the ominous prophecy that Professor Turney Lawney had given Harry in the prophecy class, and looked over with even more concern.
Harry bowed obediently and opened his eyes wide as Hagrid obeyed, for it was said that if he blinked at such a creature, he would not gain their trust, but the monster in front of him looked at him with hostile eyes, as if they did not see his kindness.
"Ahh Hagrid said, sounding a little worried. "All right—back off, now. Harry, retreating relaxedly—"
But then, to Harry's great surprise, the monster suddenly bent down on its scaly front knee and sank down, visibly bowing.
"Well done, Harry!" Hagrid was ecstatic and said, "yes—you can touch it now!
Harry, under Hagrid's guidance, then managed to ride the eagle-headed winged beast named Buckbeak around the paddock, which also caused a round of applause.
"Gryffindor, ten more!" Hagrid said, tugging at his beard happily.
Harry glanced over to Hermione, clapped her hands a few times, and then saw Malfoy, who was applauding him.
"Could it be that I'm being too stingy?" he thought to himself, completely unaware that Malfoy would applaud his performance after an unpleasant meeting during the holidays.
Many of the classmates were encouraged by Harry, and they all plucked up their courage to walk towards a hippogriff, Neville ran away from the monster in front of him several times, causing the surrounding students to laugh, Hermione felt that her quarrel with Ron had nothing to do with Hagrid, and she always had to support him, so she also prepared to walk through the crowd of students and find a person she could see to complete the task.
"Isn't he going to go over?" Hermione pushed aside a few of the students who stood in front of her, but was surprised to find that Malfoy and Pansy were still chatting with no one else, and had no intention of going up.
"Oh, how can our warriors who dare to manipulate the basilisk be afraid of these things?" Ron also happened to see Malfoy, only to see him and his "little girlfriend" biting their ears, not knowing what they were talking about, perhaps because of the "single dog" 's jealousy, or because of the anger that has been accumulated for a long time, he can't help but sarcastically say in the direction where Malfoy is, the fire he has held back is also to vent, today is a good opportunity, in his opinion, Slytherin's Malfoy only dares to engage in conspiracy, but now in the face of these magical creatures, he is afraid, retreated, and cowardly. He was about to take a breath at this moment, when he remembered the endless hiccups at Hagrid's hut and wanted to get revenge even more.
"True courage is not just recklessness. Malfoy said lightly, and then walked up to Hagrid with Pansy and said, "I'm not very well today, and I'm already insisting on being able to go to class, and I hope you don't mind, teacher." Then he pulled Pansy beside him, and said the same thing.
"Oh, oh, is it?" Hagrid was a little flattered, except for Harry's students, it was the first time he had been called a teacher, and he nodded with his kind nature, or rather a little foolish, he remembered the "toughness" of the child in his cabin when he was in the first grade.
"Thank you, Professor Dumbledore, for your help. He thanked the principal he respected the most once again in his heart for giving him a chance to become a teacher.
But soon he was freed from the complicated mental activity, because he heard the exclamations of the students.
"Oh my God!" the schoolgirl named Lavender began to scream, as if she had seen something terrible.
"Fool who gets carried away. Malfoy watched coldly, already guessing the ending.
This time, it was Ron who died.
He seems to have forgotten that these magical creatures have intelligence, and even if they can't fully understand what people say, they can distinguish between good intentions and malicious intentions.
What did he just say?
"These things?"
Retribution is coming, just now Ron relied on bowing to get the trust and favor from this magical creature should all suddenly become negative, the more intelligent the creature for dignity such a thing as a matter of importance, now is riding on the eagle head body winged beast began to jump up and down angrily, trying to desperately break free from the current person's mount, this monster raised its head, its expression began to be hideous, nostrils began to spew rough air.
"Oh my God, Merlin is on top, what should I do?" Hagrid looked helplessly at the creature that had begun to go berserk, unable to do anything about it, because even he couldn't find a way to pacify the creature beneath Ron.
"Come on, I don't think Mr. Warrior wants us to watch him put on a wonderful show. Malfoy retorted, he wasn't so kind to be a babysitter, and if it was Pansy or Neville, he might have saved him, the former needless to say, and the latter at least had a good impression of himself.
As for the retribution that comes immediately after the front foot mocks himself, he doesn't have much to do.
Harry glared at him when he heard this, but he didn't have the mood to argue anymore, he had to find a way to save Ron.
At this moment, Ron was shaken and dizzy, but instinct told him that if he let go, he would be finished, so he stuck the neck of the creature under him, but he didn't expect that this would deepen the humiliation of the eagle-headed winged beast, and it struggled even harder, and had to fall this pesky human down.
Just when Hagrid was about to cry out in a hurry, a light symbolizing the spell suddenly galloped through the air like a meteor, and happened to hit the manic monster under Ron's body, the monster's body suddenly stiffened, and it was about to fall from mid-air, fortunately the spell hit only its lower body, and did not affect its wings, the monster fluttered a few times, and actually stabilized its body again, but the stiffness of half of its body still made it unable to stay in the sky for longer.
So, the only choice for this monster is to "crash land".
It is true that intelligent beings have dignity, but it is not called intelligent creatures to put their lives on the line for dignity.
"Thank you, Hermione, and I'll apologize for Ron first. Harry saw that Ron should be safe for the time being, so he immediately ran up to Hermione and said this.
The person who issued the spell need not ask any more questions.
Yesterday's Harry didn't actually approve of Ron's approach, but for the sake of face, he didn't say much, when his two friends had a fight, even if right and wrong were obvious, it was difficult for him as a man not to lean towards Ron, but that didn't mean he didn't know right and wrong.
And now that Hermione had helped Ron regardless of her previous suspicions, Harry felt that the two of them were even more wrong.
I saw Hermione pursing her lips and still not saying a word, as if she didn't want to accept the substitute apology.
Hermione now only thinks that Ron is too naïve, and almost took his life for the sake of the battle of will, but the other party only sees it as a joke, but...
He's always his friend, isn't he?
"Watch your back!" Hermione came back to her senses, but suddenly found that the crisis had not been resolved, and immediately warned loudly, not caring whether the two of them were reconciled or not, whether she took the initiative to speak first was considered a sign of weakness.
Ron and the surrounding students only seemed to care about the height of the monster when it flew, and they were only afraid that he would fall from the sky, there was really no way, the students collectively used the levitation charm on him to always have a few effects, not too miserable.
So after seeing that this big guy seemed to give up struggling, they were completely relieved, and even Ron breathed a sigh of relief, but forgot one thing.
It was the monster itself that Ron offended.
The moment Hermione reminded him was also the moment he got off the ground, all he heard was what seemed to be a whirring wind behind his head, and then he received a blow to the head and fell straight down.
"This guy's claws are really strong. It was his last consciousness before he fell unconscious.
All the students present only saw Ron fall to the ground unconscious after being slapped by the silver claws of the "grudgeful" eagle-headed horse winged beast.
"Oh my God!" the girl named Lavender was so frightened that she fainted because she saw a blood-red patch coming from the ground where Ron was lying.
"Is this the Bloodlight Plague?" Hermione looked at the fallen Ron a little dazedly, not knowing what expression to make now.
