Chapter 167: Old Grudges at Hogwarts (8)

When the students had gathered around, Hagrid proudly opened the cardboard box. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Unlike the surprise he expected, many of the students turned their heads at the first sight, and most of them were Ravenclaw girls. Leah said in disgust, "Hagrid, I'd rather deal with Hippogriffs than see these disgusting bugs. ”

Hagrid was at a loss and said, "This is the Flober caterpillar, don't you like these cute guys?" ”

Leah said, "I don't care what it's called, close the lid, Hagrid." ”

"Oh, okay." Hagrid quickly closed the cardboard box again, and then looked at everyone blankly, at a loss, not knowing what to do.

It took Hagrid a moment to recover from his stunned stupor, and said, "This is the Flober caterpillar, and what we're going to do this semester is to raise this bug." ”

Feeding? Bugger? Leah looked at Hagrid dumbfounded, completely unaware that she would have to deal with a bunch of disgusting bugs for an entire semester.

Professor Kate once said that you have to learn to use wisdom to solve the problems you encounter, and now Leah has a problem, she doesn't like this kind of caterpillar, and the realization of her ideal also has nothing to do with raising caterpillars, she doesn't need to force herself to accept such a course. But how to operate becomes a problem, Hagrid is a professor after all, he has the right to make a teaching plan for the course of protecting magical creatures, if he insists on this, Leah has no choice but to obey, what should he do? Did you move out of your father? This is probably not a sign of wisdom, she is a Ravenclaw, not a Slytherin parasitic in a rotten family, and she wants to solve the problem in a way that suits the Ravenclaw style.

In a flash of inspiration, Leah thought of a solution, and she said, "Professor, can we say a few words?" ”

Hagrid, who was trying to persuade the students to accept the caterpillars, paused for a moment and said, "Okay." ”

Leah and Hagrid came to the Forbidden Forest, and seeing that they were some distance away from the group of students surrounding the cardboard box, Leah whispered, "Professor, can I choose to learn Hippogriffs?" ”

Hagrid shook his head quickly and said, "No, absolutely not, do you know how much trouble the previous injury caused Headmaster Dumbledore?" No, absolutely not! ”

Leah said, "Professor, you should know the serious consequences of that incident last time, right? ”

Hagrid said with some pain, "Of course I do. Although he avoided the tragic fate of being kicked out of the school, the matter was not over, and Lucius Malfoy had filed a complaint with the school board, accusing Hagrid of inappropriate teaching that led to injuries to students in his classroom. The board has accepted it, but it is difficult to say what the outcome will be.

Seeing Hagrid like this, Leah's heart settled a lot, this big man is surrounded by anxiety and insecurity, such a person is easily swayed by others, to be honest, Lia feels that her chat with Hagrid is very relaxed. Not to mention Professor Phyllis Kate, even the students in their history interest group can be said to be logically perfect, and if you chat with them, you may be guided by the other party if you don't pay attention to them.

Leah said, "Professor Hagrid, do you know what you're up against?" ”

Hagrid rubbed his face vigorously and said helplessly, "I don't know. ”

"What you have to do now is not wait here, it's not going to do any good as things are going, you have to take some action to help yourself," Leah said. ”

Hagrid asked, "Do you have any good ideas?" ”

Leah said, "It was Malfoy who was injured last time, he was injured because of his own mistakes, and now he has to blame you and that cute Hippogriff, all you need to do is prove that his injuries are entirely self-inflicted, and to prove that, you should have some people who know how to respect the rules try to ride the Hippogriff again, like me." ”

Hagrid was a little confused by Leah's words, and he asked, "Why you?" ”

"First of all, unlike the stupid and arrogant Draco Malfoy, who doesn't know how to be humble in what I'm not good at, I'm going to follow your instructions so that there won't be any security problems, will I?" ”

Hagrid hurriedly said: "Of course, Malfoy is too arrogant, Buckbeak is a proud and sensitive creature, and his arrogant attitude will make him angry, but as long as you respect it, it will also give full cooperation." ”

Leah said, "That's right, we're just going to prove to Malfoy that his injuries are entirely due to him." ”

It sounded reasonable, but Hagrid hesitated, and said, "But the board ......"

Leah said: "That's why I'm the most suitable second reason, I admit that the Malfoy family has developed fairly well under Lucius Malfoy's camp, but among the famous nobles, the Malfoy family is nothing, and the Price family is obviously the real noble family, if you teach me how to deal with the Hippogriff, Lucius doesn't dare to say anything, and the school directors don't dare to say anything, don't forget, my father Carl Price is also a member of the board." ”

Hagrid scratched his head, to be honest, he didn't know much about pure-blood families in the wizarding world, but he had also heard of the Price family, which was indeed a very powerful family.

Seeing that Hagrid was still hesitating, Leah said, "Of course, if you really take care of me, I won't be reluctant, although those bugs are disgusting, but at least they are not dangerous, are they?" ”

Seeing her say this, Hagrid couldn't help but say, "There is no danger in Buckbeak, as long as you respect it, there will be no danger!" ”

Leah said, "Okay, please prove it." ”

Hagrid patted himself on the head vigorously and said, "Okay, you come with me." ”

At the back of Hagrid's cabin, Leah meets the "cute" guy.

"So," said Hagrid, rubbing his hands against each other and smiling at Leah, his mood lightened at the sight of his true best friend, "Come closer, well, let me introduce you to the Hippogriffs, first of all, they are proud, and unintentional offenses can easily offend them." Never offend a Hippogriff, as this may be the last thing you want to do. ”

Leah slowly walked in front of Buckbeak, this guy is bigger than expected, sharp claws and eagle beak are full of lethality, giving people a sense of danger, and this guy also has a sensitive heart, I really don't know what Hagrid thinks, actually let a third-year student who is in contact with magical creatures for the first time deal with this dangerous creature, if she is the board of directors will not agree. Either way, Buckbeak is at least pretty, a little fierce, but better than the slimy bugs.

"You're going to wait for the Hippogriff to act first," Hagrid continued, "it's polite, you know?" You walk over to it, you bow, and then you wait. If it returns the salute to you, you can touch it. If it doesn't bow, get out of it, because these claws hurt. ”

"Okay," said Leah with a pretended lightheartedness, "don't worry, Hagrid, it's going to be fine. ”

Under Hagrid's patient guidance, Leah also rode smoothly on Buckbeak, spun around in the air, and when she returned to the ground, she said to Hagrid, who looked worried, "It feels good to fly in the air on a Hippogriff, Professor Hagrid, I will write to Dad and explain to him that Buckbeak does not have any violent and hurtful tendencies, and I am sure Dad will pass this information on to the school board." ”

Hagrid was stunned for a moment, and said in disbelief, "Really? Thank you so much. ”

Leah waved her hand and said, "It's nothing, we're friends, aren't we?" ”

Hagrid said, "Of course. ”

Liya said with a serious face: "Then as a friend, I still have to persuade him, Buckbeak is a little sensitive after all, not all students can deal with it well, some timid students will panic directly when they see such a big monster, you had better make two sets of plans to meet the learning of different students." ”

Hagrid smiled and said, "Professor Kate said the same thing, and she also said that when preparing lessons, you should take into account the receptivity of students. ”

Leah smiled and didn't speak.

After this lesson, Leah walked towards the castle and "happened" to meet William on the way.

William said, "Are you sure it's appropriate?" Using some conversation skills to sway a professor's thoughts? ”

"Actually, I'm happy with the fact that I'm flying through the air on a domineering Hippogriff and you've had a disgusting caterpillar lesson," Leah said. ”

William smiled and said, "You did get what you wanted, but be mindful of the price you paid. ”

Leah said, "At what cost, you wouldn't really think of Hagrid as a Hogwarts professor, would you?" ”

William said, "It doesn't matter what I think, but what Headmaster Dumbledore thinks...... was only halfway there, and William took two steps to catch up with his fellow Hufflepuff classmates, leaving Leah with a gloomy face.

Hagrid is really nothing, just a big man with a big brain, but he is deeply trusted by Dumbledore, and Leah deliberately induces Hagrid to do something that is contrary to the will of the school board for a little selfish desire, what will Dumbledore think?

Seeing that William had already walked away, Leah's expression regained her calm, she chuckled and muttered to herself, "Dumbledore? "William, who was born in the Muggle world, has no way of understanding the deep-rooted position of the pure-blood family in the entire wizarding world, Dumbledore is also for the spiritual leader, William really thinks he is the emperor of the British wizarding world?

William was still a little careless, and was a little calculated by Leah.

……

At the end of the week, Phyllis was making tea in her office, and Amy was assigned to fetch Dora, one of Phyllis's unicorns, so she was the only one making tea.

Just as Phyllis was immersed in the tea leaves churning with the boiling water, there was a knock on the door, and she said, "Come in." Phyllis thought it was the students who came to ask for advice, and although the students often had to struggle with their homework books on the weekends, there were occasional students who came to her for advice.

What Phyllis didn't expect was that the visitor was not a student, but the new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher at Hogwarts, Professor Remus Lupin.

Lupin still said in a gentle voice, "Excuse me, Professor Kate. ”

Phyllis said: "It's nothing, you came just in time, this pot of tea has been brewed, come and taste how to raise my tea-making skills, this incident was all made by Amy for me, and I don't know if my skills have regressed." As she spoke, Phyllis took out a small white porcelain cup, poured a cup of orange tea, and handed it to Lupin.

Lupin took a sip and said, "I don't know anything about tea, but this tea tastes really good." ”

Phyllis smiled and said, "If you like it, by the way, do you have anything to do with me?" ”

Lupin said, "That's right, I'd like to ask you to help prepare some wolf venom potion." ”

Wolf venom potion? Phyllis said in disbelief, "You are ......"

Lupin nodded and said, "Yes, I'm for the werewolves." "It's still possible for him to hide his werewolf identity from the students, but it's too difficult to hide from a professor like Phyllis, so he just said it.

Soon, Phyllis sensed that her surprise was a little rude, and she said, "I'm sorry, I just didn't expect that. ”

Lupin said tolerantly, "It's okay. ”

Phyllis said: "I've heard of the wolf poison potion, but I still need to find some information on how to prepare it, are you in a hurry?" ”

Lupin said, "Don't worry, I still have two more potions." ”

Phyllis said, "That's good, I haven't prepared this potion, and I don't know if it will succeed, I'll give you an answer next week anyway." ”

Lupin said gratefully, "Thank you, Professor Kate, I have heard that you are very accomplished in the preparation of potions, and I believe that you will succeed." ”

Phyllis said, "Thank you, but I heard that you and Professor Snape were classmates back then, so why didn't you ask Professor Snape to help?" He was more professional in potion brewing than I was. ”

Lupin said with a wry smile: "Yes, Professor Snape and I did study together at Hogwarts, and it was still a grade, but because we were too young and a little too frivolous, we accumulated some old grudges, which made it ...... now" Lupin said with some emotion, he did do a little too much at that time, and he didn't expect Snape to become the Potions teacher at Hogwarts.
