It can be seen that under the influence of Malfoy's injury, Hagrid's form today is not very good.

When the students had arrived, he led them along the edge of the forest, and by five minutes they were outside a paddock.

"Everybody come up to this fence!" He shouted, "Stand where you can see." Now, the first thing you have to do is open the book—"

Seeing that most of her classmates had depressed expressions, Maca decided to take the initiative to demonstrate to everyone.

"Guys, all you need to do is pick up the spine." As he spoke, he used his actions to tell everyone the correct way to open these "Yokai Books of Yokai".

Immediately, everyone did so.

It can be seen that some students still find this strangely interesting, but the shadow brought to them by these books is not something that can be removed in a while.

A book that bites, it's a bit intimidating.

"Oh yes! Maca did a great job and gave Hufflepuff five points! Hagrid looked a little happier, "Oh, I mean, Mr. McGraine. ”

He paused, then continued, "Then next, um......"

It was time to call out the Hippogriffs, but Hagrid hesitated. Maca knew that he was still worried about whether anyone would get hurt again.

"Well, actually, Professor Hagrid just invited me to be a teaching assistant for his class......" Maca suddenly stood up, facing everyone, and said calmly, "I think, for some strange reason, you must have some understanding of the content of the course. ”

Makana's teasing tone made both the Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw students chuckle secretly.

Indeed, with the exception of Slytherin, few people would like a clown like Malfoy, and they didn't think much of him.

Although there will always be people who are worried about getting hurt, after all, it seems to be a fact.

"Ahem, but I want to tell you," Maca said, clearing her throat, "Professor Hagrid's lesson is still very interesting. ”

"Yes, he prepared some rare materials for me, which allowed me to tell people something that I couldn't find in the book."

Maca said, turning back and motioning for Hagrid to go and lead the Hippogriffs out.

"Oh, okay."

Seeing that he said calmly, Hagrid subconsciously turned around and went to action.

"That's right, you've all heard that today's lesson is about 'Hippogriff'." Maca continued, "This is a creature born of a male griffin and a mare. And we know that the griffin has a great contempt for the 'horse' as a creature, so the birth of the eagle-headed horse winged beast has to be said to be an incredible thing......"

Maca saw that some of the bright Ravenclaw students were nodding their heads, and it was clear that the studious eaglets knew something about it.

"And that's why," he continued, "creatures like the Hippogriff, which have always been regarded as a symbol of wonder and love—"

"It's romantic, isn't it?" Maca spread her hands.

"Oh yes! This creature sounds fantastic! A few little girls said suddenly, their eyes shining brightly.

Obviously, Maca's remarks are very popular with little girls.

"Hey! Tutor! While that's interesting, the book says that the creature's natural predator is the griffin? A bespectacled Ravenclaw boy couldn't help but speak.

But Maca was not worried about this at all, and he calmly explained: "...... This is a demonstration of the cruelty of survival. Everyone must understand that everything has a different side. This is like us wizards, while hunting magical creatures and using the materials on them to make all kinds of potions that heal and save people, and facilitate life, we must also take responsibility to protect them for survival, rather than disappearing one by one over time and disappearing into the dust of history, which is also one of the important meanings of the course 'Protecting Magical Creatures'. ”

Listening to what Maca said, the students unconsciously became serious, and everyone was thinking about the meaning contained in it.

"Of course," added Maca, "it's also because of this cruel side that we feel how precious the good side is, isn't it?" ”

By this time, Hagrid had arrived in the clearing with six Hippogriffs. It seems that because of yesterday's lesson, he finally decided that it would be better to reduce the number.

You know, when he gave a lesson to Gryffindor and Slytherin yesterday, he brought a whole dozen of them!

Although everyone already has a certain understanding of these creatures, after all, it is the first time to see their true appearance, and everyone's attention is focused on them for a while.

Hippogriffs have winged beasts, they have the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings, and head are still eagle-like.

They have a steely beak and large, bright orange eyes. The claws on the front legs are about half a foot long, and they do look very dangerous.

Each of the hippogriffs had a thick collar of feathers around its neck, and to it was fastened a long chain with the ends of which was in Hagrid's big hand, and he followed the animals and galloped slowly into the paddock clearing.

"Go over there!" He yelled, shaking the chains, and yelling at the guys to come to the fence where all the students stood.

When Hagrid stepped forward and tied the guys to the fence, most of the students couldn't help but back off a bit.

"Hippogriff." Hagrid shouted loudly, waved his hand at everyone, and then cautiously said, "They're beautiful, aren't they?" ”

In fact, these half-bird, half-horse creatures do look very good, they have shiny fur that changes color from the end to the tail, and people can't help but want to touch it.

Of course, you'll have to ignore their sharp beaks and sharp claws.

"Well, the first thing you must know about Hippogriffs is that they are proud," Hagrid said, lowering his voice, "You know, it's easy to offend them on first contact, and you need to ......"

Maca had to shake her head secretly.

If this continues, there will be no need for this class. Although Hagrid is a half-blood giant, he seems to have been inherited by humans at heart—a bit too delicate.

He was always worried that he would make a bad impression on his children.

“…… As Professor Hagrid said, "Seeing Hagrid's voice getting lower, Maca had to speak again, "Hippogriffs are proud creatures inherited from their paternal bloodline, the griffin. ”

"But for this reason, they, like griffins, can be tamed by wizards. They have no preconceived hostility towards humans, and as long as they know the right way to communicate, they can be your friends and even protect you in times of danger. ”

"Oh yes, that's right! Mr. McLean was absolutely right. "And the way to communicate with them is to wait for them to act first, which is politeness, you know?" You walk over to it and bow. ”

"Be careful, your eyes should always be in contact with it! And then you wait. If it returns the salute to you, you can touch it. If it doesn't bow, leave it quickly, because that means it's not in a good mood at the moment. ”

"Or maybe you're doing something wrong." Maca added.

Then, Maca said loudly: "Next, I will give you a demonstration first, I hope you can carefully see each step." ”

"Wait, I'll unravel it first-"

But before Hagrid could finish speaking, Maca had already walked in front of the Hippogriff. He stared at it without blinking, then bowed slightly.

Opposite him, Hippogriff, who had been a little annoyed by the restraint of the leather collar, tilted his head to look at Maca, and then immediately fell silent.

The Hippogriff can be seen staring into Maca's eyes, and it looks a little strange.

"Oh, what's wrong?" Hagrid hurried up, only to find that the hippogriff seemed to be a little uneasy—all the feathers on its neck stood up.

"I forgot about this stubble." Seeing this, Maca frowned slightly.

Hippogriffs are very sensitive creatures that can tell if they are kind or malicious, cowardly or vicious, and use them to avoid danger.

But the hippogriff could not feel any emotion in Maka's eyes, which made it feel uneasy.

"Professor Hagrid, do you have anything to eat? You know, the ...... that Hippogriffs like," Maca asked, keeping her eyes in the hands of Hippogriff.

"Oh, of course!" Hagrid took a ferret from the large pocket behind him and placed it in Maca's outstretched hand.

Maca shook the ferret in front of her, and the hippony was immediately attracted to its favorite food.

Maca took two steps forward and threw the ferret to it.

I saw that the hippogriff quickly spread its wings and flapped it a few times, raised its neck to catch the ferret thrown by Maca, and then swallowed it in one gulp.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Maca bowed again.

It turns out that for creatures with a slightly lower IQ, such as the Hippogriff, feeding them is actually a more suitable means of friendship.

This time, it hesitated a few times, then bent its scaly front knee and lowered its head.

"Well done! You did it! Hagrid was thrilled as if he had succeeded, and waved his hand for Maca to quickly go up and touch it.

The students outside the fence seemed to breathe a sigh of relief and chatted with each other.
