In order to congratulate Hagrid on becoming the teacher of the Conservation of Magical Creatures class, Darren and Hagrid prepared a sumptuous meal in the cabin that night, of course, Hagrid is "ready", and Darren is "ready".

At the dinner table, Hagrid's mood was extraordinarily high, and he kept drinking, talking to Darren about his experience in dealing with magical creatures, after all, he has been active in the Forbidden Forest all year round, and often meets with all kinds of magical creatures, such as unicorns, centaurs, Thestrals, according to him, even werewolves he has seen, and he is considered experienced, and should be able to cope with the teaching of the protection of magical creatures, but Darren really didn't hear any teaching plan from Hagrid, it seems that in his mind, taking the protection of magical creatures class is to let students and magical creatures come into contact with each other, Mastering some feeding methods is what this course is all about.

But Darren hasn't taken Professor Kettleburn's class before, maybe Hogwarts's protection of magical creatures class is like this, it always feels like it's training zoo keepers, it's called "magical creatures class", what's the point of adding "protection", probably in the eyes of wizards, as long as those magical creatures don't die, it's protection,.

Perhaps having drunk too much, Hagrid began to tell Darren about the animals he had once raised, starting with the most recent Norber, a Norwegian spinback dragon that Hagrid had hatched himself; Then there was Maomao, who was very large but obedient, perhaps because Hagrid was so big that it was too oppressive; Then there was Louwey, a huge three-headed dog that Hagrid had bought from a Greek when he was a puppy, and who later grew about the size of an elephant.

Finally, Hagrid muttered to Darren, but my favorite was Aragog, he was my first pet, he was so cute, and even now that he's getting bigger, he still talks to me a lot.

"Aragog? The spider you talked about before? ”

"Spiders? Did I say that? Yes, it's a spider, but unlike the others, it's ......."

Finally, Hagrid fell asleep with the bottle in his hand, and although he didn't finish speaking, Darren also knew that Aragog was an eight-eyed spider, and he remembered the description of the eight-eyed spider that he saw in Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.

"The eight-eyed spider is a large, ferocious spider with eight eyes, speaks human language, is native to the island of Kalimantan, and inhabits dense jungles. Its characteristics are very remarkable: its whole body is covered with thick black hair; The legs can stretch to the sides of the body up to fifteen feet; When emotional or angry, its chelica makes a clear audible clicking sound; It also secretes venom. ”

"The eight-eyed spider is a carnivore, prefers large prey, it weaves a dome-shaped web on the ground, the female spider is larger than the male, and lays up to a hundred eggs at a time, these eggs are white, very soft, and as large as a floating balloon. The eggs hatch for six to eight weeks, and the eight-eyed eggs are clearly classified as a Class A non-tradable commodity by the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control, which means that the import or sale of eight-eyed eggs will be severely punished! ”

On top of that, the eight-eyed spider is XXXXX in the Ministry of Magic's classification level, which means that it is extremely dangerous, and the other magical creatures in the same level are: basilisk, Kemeramon, fire dragon, sphin-tail, panther, penta-legged, and werewolf, a list that will send a chill out of anyone who knows even a little bit about magical creatures.

Hagrid not only fed Aragog, but also found him a female spider, Mosag, so that they bred thousands of offspring, and even these eight-eyed spiders eventually participated in Voldemort's attack on Hogwarts, even though Hagrid was still in the school.

It has to be said that Hagrid chose a very bad pet.

Of course, this was not Hagrid's intention, he was just unaware of the possible consequences of his actions, as his special background and the expulsion of Voldemort from Hogwarts had caused him serious problems growing up.

After being expelled, although Dumbledore had made him the caretaker of the Forbidden Forest, it seemed that Dumbledore had no idea that Hagrid was only fourteen years old at the time! According to the rules of Hogwarts, under normal circumstances, Hogwarts students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, even if they are about to graduate and are eighteen years old.

Although the work of the foresters allowed Hagrid to live, it also allowed him to break away from the mainstream society of wizards prematurely, although this mainstream was not much better, making Hagrid seriously lack social and interpersonal experience, and to some extent caused Hagrid's personality to be incomplete, so it seemed that his age and body were already very old, but in Hagrid's heart, he was still a simple big boy, simple and direct.

It's just that with linear thinking to deal with the world, it is inevitable that there will be a situation of disconnection, although there are all kinds of shortcomings, but it must not be denied that Hagrid is a good person, a good person with a gentle and fragile heart, just like a certain bear.

Looking at Hagrid, who had fallen asleep, Darren waved his wand to clear the room, gently closed the door, and left.

Coincidentally, the next day Darren received a letter from Sirius Black, inviting him to be a guest, and in the letter he said that Harry's birthday was approaching, and as long as Professor Dumbledore did not object, he planned to take Harry away from the Dursleys house and celebrate Harry's birthday at 12 Grimmauld Place.

It just so happened that Darren still had the basilisk skin and teeth that he got out of the secret room, and he also needed to find someone to deal with them, and these couldn't be done at Hogwarts, and in Diagon Alley, it should be about the same.

So, Darren went to Hagrid with Blake's letter and asked him if he could go to 12 Grimmauld Place, "Of course, that's Blake's home, he will definitely treat you well, if you hadn't given the 'living map' to the professor, I'm afraid that Peter's bad guy would still be hiding in the school now," Hagrid said without hesitation, and fortunately, if he was to be replaced by Professor McGonagall, he might not let Darren go, and last Christmas, let Darren live in the medical wing by himself......

Speaking of Black, Hagrid sighed again, "Poor Sirius, who has been imprisoned in Azkaban for twelve years, I can't think of how he survived, I couldn't stand it for weeks there. ”

The mention of Azkaban seemed to remind Hagrid of more terrible things, and he shuddered, "The letter didn't say whether 12 Grimmauld Place was connected to Floo.com, although Blake has been back for so long, he should have been connected, he should have told us this, of course, we can write another letter to ask him, but you can also go to the Leaky Cauldron first, and then take the knight's bus, have you ever taken the bus?" ”

"Well, sit," Darren recalled, as if he had "laid" to be more accurate.
