Chapter 120: The Book of Monsters
In the midst of his busyness, the days passed, and seeing that the holidays were halfway through, Darren began to think about strengthening things other than himself, after all, as an orphan, he could not always be at Hogwarts, and he had to get more resources to live in this world, and he didn't want to be like Professor Lupin. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
Although he has not been bitten by werewolves, but on the whole, the wizarding world is really not very friendly to a wizard without strength, and he didn't see Voldemort's, because of the embarrassment of life, ten Galleons sold Salazar Slytherin's locket, although this has a lot to do with her family environment, but it also shows that wizards are not all like the Weasleys can meet the needs of daily life.
Not only that, the last time Voldemort was active, Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix lived a life of hanging by a thread every day, dead and crazy, but after Voldemort fell, no one cared about it at all, Moody, the top Auror, was called "Crazy Eye" , even Mrs. Weasley said so, so much so that after being attacked, he thought he was crazy; Longbottom and his wife both went insane and stayed in St. Mungo's Magical Injury Hospital for many years, but except for Neville's grandmother, everyone else used them as talking points, and brought only shame to their son Neville; Sirius Black, needless to say, to the end; Hagrid, before and after the war, was just a forester at the school, and even if it wasn't for Dumbledore, he wouldn't even have this job, and he was investigated by the Ministry of Magic several times, and even arrested……
As for Lupin, it has already been mentioned, of course, not all members of the Order of the Phoenix are like this, but in general, defeating Voldemort did not bring them much respect and recognition, and even some people barely survived, on the contrary, some Death Eaters relied on their family power and financial resources, and they were quite good, and in a sense became Dumbledore's boss.
Darren, life is not easy, do it and work hard!
Just as he was considering whether to go to the Burrow or 12 Grimmauld Place first, Darren received a letter from a large grey owl named Errol, who was raised by Weasley.
The letter was written by Ron, who told Darren that Mr. Weasley had received the Galleon Award, the Daily Prophet's annual award, and that the family had traveled to Egypt to spend a month in Egypt and return when Hogwarts had started.
Oh, the Weasleys must love their eldest son, Bill, because they had just been there last Christmas, so let's wait until next year......
Ron also sent a newspaper clipping from the Daily Prophet, in which nine of the Weasleys stood in front of the pyramid, waving vigorously, and only two of them had not been seen by Darren, who, according to Ron's letter, were supposed to be the two oldest Weasleys, Bill and Charlie, but Darren could not tell them apart, and they were all at the back of the Weasleys' house, only their faces could be seen, and one of them was wearing a Turkish hat like Mr. Weasley.
Just as Darren was reading the letter, he heard Hagrid's voice talking outside, "Darren, are you there?"
"Wait a minute," Darren immediately put down the letter and got out of the tent, although the inside of this tent was very spacious, it was still not big for Hagrid, especially the entrance to the tent, so every time Hagrid looked for him, he called Darren out to Hagrid's cabin next to him.
When Darren looked up at Hagrid, he must have been very happy to see that Hagrid was smiling all over his face, and even his thick beard could not cover the crooked corners of his mouth.
"Hi Hagrid, what's going on to make you so happy. ”
"Oh, you wouldn't have guessed, I shouldn't have told you now, but you're the only one in the school anyway besides Filch, and I don't think you would tell anyone," Hagrid said to Darren with some smugness as he glared into his eyes, Professor Kettleburn, the school's teacher who taught the protection of magical creatures, retired so that he could spend more time with his surviving limbs, as he only had an arm and half a leg left, and then, Professor Dumbledore, told me that he could teach the course this year, and I became a professor at Hogwarts. Hagrid's eyes widened and he nodded at the Professor.
"Oh my God," Hearing the news, Darren paused for a moment before he let out such an exclamation, which was also the best reaction he could think of, although he was very happy for Hagrid, after all, compared to his original job as a hunting ground caretaker, this was a promotion, and he had long known that it would be like this, but considering Hagrid's unusual hobby of magical creatures, it is difficult to say whether Dumbledore's personnel arrangement is good or bad for Hogwarts students, especially Darren, he is about to start a class on protecting magical creatures, and he is still terrified at the thought of fighting all kinds of inexplicable creatures in Hagrid's class。
Just when Darren was feeling tangled, Hagrid continued to smile and say to Darren, "Don't worry, I've prepared a lot of cute creatures for this year's class, and the class is sure to be very interesting." ”
Oh, Hagrid, the more you say that, the more bottomless Darren's heart becomes, and he remembers that Hagrid's first class at school was a Hippogriff who scratched Drake Malfoy's arm......
"By the way, here's the material I prepared for this year's lesson, it's yours, and Harry's, I've sent it to him with an owl as a birthday present, but I didn't tell him why, just that it would be useful to him the next year. ”
Hagrid said as he took out a beautiful book with a green cover from behind him, with a golden title printed on it: "The Book of Monsters of the Monsters", but this was not the most attractive to Darren, because it was shaking rapidly, and even let out a "ho-ho" roar, and the cover opened and closed rapidly, like a big mouth, I really don't know how the book was made.
Looking at the book in Hagrid's hand, Darren didn't know how to take it, as it seemed to want to tear his hand off.
"Oh, don't be afraid, this book is safe, you just have to swipe it, look!" Hagrid held up the book in his hand and showed it to Darren, who slid his index finger from top to bottom on the spine of the book, and the book opened with a shudder, and lay quietly in Hagrid's hand.
"Thank you so much," Darren carefully took the book from Hagrid's hand, although Hagrid was very relaxed just now, but seeing that he held the book firmly with his bare hands, Darren thought that he would never be able to do it, if it were him, I am afraid that it was more likely to be bitten by the book first, so let's take a rope and tie it up first.
