Chapter 51: Thestrals
"Hagrid, are you home?" said Seamus, knocking on the door.
Today he came to Hagrid's side early in the morning, wanting to ask Hagrid for help, go outside and buy the Light Wheel 2000, and talk about pets by the way.
"Seamo, come in, you haven't been here in a long time. Hagrid pushed the door open and invited him in.
Seamus found a sofa and sat down, Yaya was familiar with the smell of his body, and when she saw him come in, she pounced on him and licked his saliva.
"Don't make a fuss, Toothtooth. Seamus couldn't accept this enthusiasm, and tried hard to push it away, but to no avail, and in the end it was Hagrid who opened his teeth like a chicken cub, and Seamus was able to get out.
"Hagrid, I'm here to tell you good news, and while you should know it soon, I think you should tell you as soon as possible. Seamus pulled a letter out of his pocket and handed it over.
"Oh, what is this. Hagrid opened the letter and exclaimed, "Oh my God, how did you do that?"
The letter that Seamus had brought was from the elf Redding this morning, and it said that a deal had been negotiated with the Ministry of Magic, that Hagrid's ban had been lifted, and that an announcement would be made in a few days.
As for how many gold galleons were used in the later Leding writing, Seamus didn't even have the interest to take a second look, it was just a number anyway.
Seamus came over today, just to let Hagrid get the news early and surprise him.
Hagrid was so happy that he hugged Seamus into his arms, hugged him with tears in his eyes, and wiped his tears from his eyes.
Although Hagrid was so happy, Seamus was not feeling good right now, being held in the arms of a four-meter-tall half-giant, which not anyone could bear.
His whole cheek was firmly pressed against Hagrid's fur coat, still rubbing, Hagrid's arms were thicker than his waist, not to mention that an 11-year-old boy like him, even if he was an adult African male lion, could not break free in this situation.
Seamus felt the joints on his body loosen a little, but fortunately, Hagrid finally let go of him and didn't let him suffocate.
"Thank you so much for breaking my wand and expelling me from Hogwarts. Thankfully, Professor Dumbledore fixed it for me and allowed me to continue living at Hogwarts. Hagrid said excitedly.
"Rest assured, you will be able to use your wand in the open, but the good news is yet to come. Seamus sat on the couch away from Hagrid, for fear that he would accidentally give himself another death hug, "I also asked Mr. Ollivander to customize a better wand for you, I guess it will be ready in a while." ”
"Thank you, Seamus, really, thank you. Hagrid was moved, "I don't even know how to repay you." ”
"It's all what I should do, and you've helped me a lot, so if you really can't help it, teach me how to make rock skin cakes." Seamus has calmed down, he doesn't have the idea of repaying the favor, he just feels that if he can help, he will help.
"Okay, you're such a good person, I'll definitely teach you well. Hagrid took out a large bag and handed it to Seamus, "It's full of rock skin cakes, you take it first, and I'll teach you how to make it right away." ”
With that, Hagrid was ready to turn away and get tools to teach him how to make rock skin cakes.
"Don't worry, I still have some things to discuss with you. Seamus hurriedly stopped him, the main purpose of today was not to make rock skin cakes, "I have to ask you for a favor, I want to buy a broomstick for the Gryffindor team, if the owl sends it, it will be a little too troublesome, so I want you to help me go and buy 8 light wheels for 2000." ”
Seamus took out another telescopic pocket, handed it to Hagrid, and said, "This is the Golden Galleon, if there is more, you can keep it for now, and you may need to help later." ”
"No problem, it's up to me. Hagrid took the pocket, patting his chest like a teenager and reassuring.
Men have always been teenagers, and this is especially evident in Hagrid, who is innocent by nature. He has a lot of contact with the outside world, and he also has the ability to distinguish between good and evil, but he always retains a pure heart, which may be the reason why he can get along with so many animals.
"Hagrid, the last time we discussed it was to help me find a suitable pet, do you have any frowns?" Seamus quietly put the bag of rock skin cakes into his pocket.
After talking about it last time, Daisy also knew, but sometimes she was too unreliable, and the photos she sent didn't look like they could be used as pets. Thunderbirds or something, and the terrifying things like Voldemort's bats, Seamus thinks he can't be the second Newt Scamander, those high-risk magical beasts, it's really not suitable as pets, used to send letters or things.
Let's see if Hagrid can give any advice this time, after all, Newt Scamander may not raise as many magical animals as Hagrid, but he has nearly half of the magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest. He also made a hybrid creature like the fried tail snail, and when it comes to understanding large magical beasts, there may be no one who can compare to him.
Hagrid remembered the incident after his reminder, "I originally wanted to find you a Thestrals, but you may not be able to see it, and only people who have witnessed death can see this amazing animal. ”
After saying that, he looked sorry for it, and couldn't help but sigh what a cute animal it was, because ordinary people can't see it, so it can't be used as a pet, what a pity.
Hagrid is worthy of Hagrid, and the first thing that comes to mind is this magical beast that is classified as dangerous by the Ministry of Magic. However, Thestrals did meet his requirements in one way, being huge, able to fly, loyal once tamed, and possessing great intelligence, the only pity was that he probably couldn't see Thestrals now.
Although he followed Lupin to murder many of the magical beasts listed in the "Dark Forces: Guide to Self-Defense" in the name of extracurricular practice. But he didn't know if this was a death witness, and his heart was not touched much at the time, because the difference between those magical beasts and humans was too great, as if they were killing chickens and ducks.
And Thestrals' request for witnessing death with his own eyes is more likely to be spiritual, because a person has been witnessing death since birth. Plants and trees wither, flowers bloom and fall, insects and ants, and even a meal on weekdays are witnessing countless deaths.
But there are really not many people who can see Thestrals, so this is more likely to be a spiritual requirement. I have heard that vigorous love and the death of relatives can make people grow the fastest, perhaps because of the touch of death, which can attract the attention of Thestrals, so that they can be seen.
