Chapter 52: Raven
Not to mention the advantages and disadvantages of Thestrals as a pet, it can't be treated as a pet anyway, I am not a master of animal taming like Hagrid, and secondly, I have a pet to send letters, unlike Thestrals, which Hagrid raised, is only responsible for pulling the carriage at the beginning of school, and the work of a year is completed.
A pet that no one else can see will undoubtedly cause a lot of trouble, "Hagrid, is there any alternative, Thestrals, it's really not suitable." ”
"Ah, I thought about this too, if it weren't for the fact that it couldn't be seen, it would actually be a good pet. "I wanted to ask a friend for a Thunderbird, but when he heard that it was going to be a pet for a young wizard, he refused, saying that the Thunderbird was too dangerous for an underage wizard to touch." ”
It seems that Hagrid has nothing to gain, so he can only look for it slowly, and he doesn't know what the bounty on Daisy's side is.
"Then I'll go first, you remember to help me pay more attention when you have time. Seamus was a little disappointed and prepared to get up and leave.
Unexpectedly, Hagrid was in a hurry, and suddenly stood up and grabbed him, "Why are you leaving, haven't you seen the pet I found for you." ”
"But didn't you say you didn't find it?" said Seamus, confused by Hagrid.
Hagrid waved his hand and motioned for him to sit down first, "When he turned me down, he gave me a spot where there would be large flying animals that would be suitable for pets. ”
"Then I went where he said and searched for days before I found one that looked good. Hagrid said as he opened the door to a cupboard, "Look, this is the pet I found for you." ”
A large sky-blue bird stood in the cupboard, with its head held high, its eyes closed as if it were resting, and its beak, which was not completely blue, was no different from an eagle, and looked extremely majestic.
However, as soon as Hagrid opened the cabinet door, it opened its eyes, looked at the two of them sharply, and then stared at Seamus, apparently recognizing Hagrid.
Hagrid scratched his head and explained, "I didn't abuse it, it's just that it liked such a claustrophobic environment, and it took me two days to find it, and it flew fast, much faster than an owl." ”
The big bird stood on the ground, its head already above Seamo's waist, and it looked nearly a meter tall, and if it wasn't all blue, it was no different from an eagle. It also has a curved beak, a streamlined head, and wide wings folded, staring at Seamus without any panic.
"Hagrid, what's its name? Also, how come I've never seen such a bird, it's an eagle. Seamus said.
"Yes, this is the eagle, Newt told me that it should be a blue four-winged eagle, it looks like it has only two wings now, but it still has a pair of wings hidden, and once it starts flying, all four wings will open at the same time, and it will fly at a very fast speed, which is the best for sending letters. Hagrid looked at the blue four-winged eagle and stroked his beard with satisfaction, as if looking at his own child.
Hagrid stretched out his right arm and patted his left hand on his right, "Come here, baby." ”
It withdrew its gaze to Seamus, and reluctantly jumped onto Hagrid's arm, its large, sharp claws firmly gripping Hagrid's fur coat and standing firmly in his hand.
Thanks to Hagrid, he can train an owl like an owl, if it were someone else, the bird would not have been able to stand on the arm, it would be too big.
A blue-winged eagle stood on its hand as if it were a flock of owls, and Hagrid gently combed its feathers with his hand, narrowing its eyes somewhat comfortably.
"I haven't given it a name yet, I'm just waiting for you to get it, after all, it's your own pet, and it might be better to choose a name yourself. Hagrid smiled.
Seamus pondered for a moment, "It's all blue, let's call it Raven." ”
No matter how you think about it, this blue four-winged eagle is somewhat similar to the one on the Hogwarts school crest, and the name Raven is a tribute.
"You have to remember that Ravan eats meat, and you can buy some meat to feed him, or take it from me, or let him out to forage for himself. As soon as Hagrid raised his hand, Raven flew out and landed in the cabinet again, "Of course, I suggest you feed it for a while, it will make your relationship better." Also, don't put it in the owl shack, Raven doesn't have a good temper, and once the fight starts, there will be no owls at Hogwarts. ”
"Don't worry, I'll give it a separate space, it doesn't like to fly around anyway. Seamus smiled with satisfaction.
The suitcase in his dorm room was finally functional, in fact, before he bought it, it was used to keep animals, just like Professor Newts Cumander.
However, the space of this crate is far less than Newt's, only the size of a few rooms, but it should be enough to raise Raven.
"Yes, although it flies very fast and is very good at predation, Ravan is actually a lazy worm that can not move all day long, and I found it in a cave when I found it. Hagrid took a sip of milk tea and said.
When I came out of Hagrid's cabin, it was already dark, and I had been here all day. Overall, today's goal is all achieved, and the pet problem that has plagued it for so long has been solved.
But what surprised Seamus the most was not the pet, but Hagrid's way of making the crust cake, which was nothing short of violent. Hagrid kept his promise and taught him how to make crusts, and it was the process that left him dumbfounded.
Put a little salt in the flour, mix it well, add a little water, and then Hagrid uses his brute force to fuse the water and flour together. A lump of dough that can kill people is made, and then a piece is pulled out, kneaded into a cake shape, and baked on a cake pan, and after baking, it becomes a rock crust cake.
There is no fermentation process at all, it is completely a piece of dead dough, no wonder it can knock out people's teeth.
Except for Hagrid, it is estimated that no one can make such a pie, and unless magic is used, it is impossible to compress the flour to that extent.
Back in the common room, into his dorm room, Ravan was already standing at the head of his bed, and it flew straight over. It can't be helped, because Raven is so big, no matter how you bring it back, it will attract everyone's attention, so just let it fly over.
Seamus opened the suitcase and squeezed into it with some difficulty, it seems that he has gained weight again recently, and the food at Hogwarts is really not covered.
Directing Ravan to fly in, he arranged a cabinet for it to stay in quietly, and in the next room lived an owl, Lupin's Kirk.
The owl's voyage across the ocean a few days ago had devastated the owl, and it had only regained its spirit until now, and tomorrow Kirk could bring back his reply.
