Chapter 259: It's Time for Winter Swimming

PS: The publishing house is really funny, in the book "Where are the Magical Creatures", the same word is turned out of two names, or Aunt Luolin's new words, there is no dictionary at the time, this is obviously a piece of wrapping, and then the two translations do not breathe each other, the former only has a lonely word, it is turned into a dragon tail, and the latter text describes the "tail of the scorpion", which is the tail of the scorpion, but after the translation, it is not checked before and after, the editor-in-chief and the proofreader just sign it....

------------------

In the end, the lesson on protecting magical creatures was done by Professor Graplan and Hagrid, of course, after freshening up, judging from the performance in the class, Hagrid knew no less about unicorns than trolls, but in his speech and demeanor, he obviously felt that it was a pity that unicorns did not have fangs, and perhaps this was the reason for the disappointment that Darren rode the unicorn to open his room.

But neither Hagrid nor Professor Graplan's performance today can be explained, and in the end, it can only be said that the magical creature is indeed very magical!

And this magical unicorn is also worthy of this name, when Hagrid stood up from the front of the hut, he rushed into the Forbidden Forest like the wind and disappeared, but Darren suddenly had an idea, and shook the scene with Hagrid with the tablet, which was also inspired by the two "spy version" tablets he gave to Krum and Fleur, and the magic was really amazing.

Putting Hagrid's matter aside, Darren felt that Hermione was quite right about the situation in this class, "It's not bad to take a class like this once in a while to change the taste."

But this incident still had a lot of impact on Hagrid after all, perhaps because of the reason mentioned in the report, he completely gave up the tail snails, and no longer let the students take care of them after class, in fact, purely from the perspective of research, Darren felt that it was a pity, no matter what the tail snail was, but since this is a new magical creature, it is still necessary to leave some information.

As a result, because Hagrid did not leave a specific record, people have a lot of misunderstandings about this creature, and some people even think that the fried tail snail is born from the cross between the human-headed sphin-tailed dragon-tailed beast and the fire crab, which may be influenced by the statement "between the human-headed sphin-tailed dragon-tailed beast and the fire crab" in Rita's report, but Darren thinks that it should refer to the danger of the fried tail snail, and between the human-headed sphinx dragon-tailed beast and the fire crab, the magic part of the class level XXX to XXXXX means.

In addition, after Darren flipped through "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them", he felt that the "human-headed sphin-tailed dragon-tailed beast" mentioned by Rita should mean "human-headed sphind-manti-tailed beast", which is all manti-core.

In addition to the snails, Hagrid did something he hadn't done before, showing Darren and the others a picture of a short wizard with the same eyes as Hagrid's, also jet-black, narrowed into a slit, he sat on Hagrid's shoulder and smiled merrily, judging by the apple tree next to him, Hagrid was seven or eight feet tall, but his face was young, full, smooth, and beardless—he looked to be eleven years old at most.

"This was taken shortly after I entered Hogwarts," Hagrid said in a low voice, "and Dad was overjoyed...... He didn't think I could be a wizard, you know, because my mom ...... Alas, don't mention it. Of course, I've never been very open to magic...... But at least he didn't see me expelled, he died, you know, when I was in second grade......"

"After my father died, it was Dumbledore who protected me and gave me a job as a game ranger...... He trusts people a lot. Always give people a second chance...... That's what sets him apart from the other headmasters, you know, Dumbledore accepts someone to Hogwarts if he has talent. He knows that even if a person is from a bad background, he will be promising...... Alas...... It's a respectable practice," Hagrid babbles, "and some people even pretend to be big bones and don't dare to tell the truth - I am who I am, and there is nothing to be ashamed of." 'Never be ashamed,' my old dad used to say, 'someone will discriminate against you for this, but they don't deserve your trouble.' He was right. I'm so stupid. I'll never bother with that woman again, I assure you. Big skeleton ...... I'm going to let her taste my big skeleton!"

"......" Darren couldn't imagine that Hagrid's resentment against the "big skeleton" was quite deep, but he still quite understood Mrs. Maxim, compared to the impact caused by Hagrid's admission that she was a half-blood giant, she was much more important, and she was also the principal of Beauxbatons, in addition to herself, she could not ignore the school, which was not only her honor, but also her responsibility.

But if there is a chance in the future, Madame Maxim herself will tell Hagrid about these things, and if she doesn't have the opportunity, then there is no need to tell Hagrid......

On the weekend, Darren took Hermione to Hogsmeade, and they arranged for Hagrid to meet at the Three Broomsticks Tavern to give him a break, and the drinking was still crowded and lively.

As they passed Durmstrang's large ship moored on the lake, they saw Krum walking from the cabin to the deck, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks, he was very thin indeed, but he was very strong, and he climbed to the side of the ship with agility, stretched out his arms, and plunged into the water.

"Looks like he knows the news from the golden egg," Darren watched Krum's head rise from the lake, "or you're crazy, the water must be deadly cold!"

"He's come from a much colder place than here," said Hermione, "I think it's pretty warm for him," and then she turned her head to Darren, "What about you? Didn't you say you were going to the lake to get acquainted with the terrain?"

"Oh, yes, I did, but don't you think it's a little cold right now? It's going to be a long time. ”

"Krum has already started," Hermione stared at Darren, "you don't want to get lost in the lake because you're afraid of the cold, and let Krum win the game." ”

Lost in the lake...... Hearing Hermione's words, Darren suddenly fell silent, he looked at Hermione, if this really happened, it would not be as simple as losing the game! He sighed, he really should prepare for the winter swim birds! Or, pull Hermione and practice together?However, if she was told to go to the bathroom, she would probably be killed, she would definitely be killed......

When Darren and Hermione arrived at the Three Broomsticks Tavern, Hagrid was already there, sitting at the table, apparently having ordered a drink and was drinking.

In addition to Hagrid, Darren also saw another acquaintance, Bagman, who was sitting with a group of goblins, and Bagman seemed very complacent, and although Darren couldn't read the goblin's expression, judging by their posture, the situation should not be good.

After saying a few words to the elves, Bagman glanced at the bar, saw Darren, stood up immediately, waved at the elves, and turned to walk over.
