Chapter 17: The Acclaimed Hagrid

"Okay, Draco." Hagrid was a little confused, but quickly calmed down. At the same time, he said to Hermione, "Hermione, excuse me, well, and Daphany and Harry." I would like to ask you to provide some protection to avoid accidents. ”

Hermione and Daphne both nodded. Harry was annoyed, annoyed by his hesitation. Yes, although he said that he didn't like it, Harry actually liked to be in the limelight, which is human nature.

"Alright, Draco!" Hagrid saw that Hermione and Daphany had already taken out their wands and were ready. Turning to Draco, he said, "Hippogriffs are very proud, so you must let them act first." ”

Seeing Draco nod, Hagrid patted one of the Hippogriffs, and the Hippogriff stepped aside. It has to be said that the body of the Hippogriff is comparable to that of the most divine horse, and its weight is estimated to be more than a ton. But Hagrid, who was nearly three meters tall and unusually tall, looked short and thin in front of him.

Hagrid patted the remaining Hippogriff and whispered, "It's called Buckbeak, let's see if he can accept you." "You have to look at it and try not to blink, or it won't trust you." ”

"Good!" Draco nodded, and the Hippogriff named Buckbeak looked at each other.

All the students held their breath, and Pansy couldn't help but grab the corner of Daphany's clothes.

"Okay," Hagrid nodded after a moment and whispered, "Now, bow to it." ”

When Draco heard this, he immediately bowed his head slightly. In order to meet the eagle-headed horse-body winged beast, his eyes were sore, and he was about to cry.

Something strange happened, and as Draco bowed, the Hippogriff also bent down on its knees, sank down, and bowed to Draco as well.

"Well done, Draco, well done!" Hagrid's tone looked very excited: "Now you can get closer, you can touch it, well, touch its beak first!" ”

Draco hesitated slightly before walking over. The Hippogriff didn't move, and looked at Draco with less alert eyes than before. Draco slowly reached out his hand, and the Hippogriff lowered its head as well, allowing Draco to gently stroke its beak and head. Draco gently stroked the beak of the Hippogriff named Buckbeak, and instead of disgusted, it closed its eyes comfortably. Draco was a little bolder. His hand stroked its head upwards, and stroked the neck of the hippographer.

To everyone's surprise, the eagle-headed horse-winged beast actually lowered its head and even let out a soft whining sound. Apparently very much like Draco stroking it like that. He even stretched out his neck for him to touch.

"Great, great!" Hagrid was pleasantly surprised, "I think it might already be willing to let you ride it." How about trying it? "If it was Harry, Hagrid would probably just pick it up, but if it was Draco, then I'd have to ask.

"Of course!" Draco nodded repeatedly, and even Daphany was surprised. Why didn't she notice that Xiaolong's classmate was still stupid and bold?

Hagrid gently stroked the back of the Hippogriff, and the Hippogriff slowly bent down. It's obvious that you're willing to let people ride it! Of course, this person can't be Hagrid, and with Hagrid's size, it is estimated that its ancestor griffin cannot be moved.

"Good, Draco!" Hagrid was more excited than Draco, and gently patted the back of the Hippogriff, "Here, climb up from here, just behind the joints of the wings." Be careful, don't pull off its wings, it will get angry. If you can't sit steadily, you can pull the collar around its neck. Hagrid instructed Draco to climb up.

Draco tucked his robes and put his hand on the back of the Hippogriff, and climbed up with ease. Buckbeak then stood up. Draco quickly grabbed one of the loops on his collar to keep his body balanced.

"Buckbeak, run!" Hagrid patted the hip of the Hippogriff.

Without warning, the Hippogriff had winged wings and winged wings, and its wings were twelve feet long. It flapped its wings twice, and with a force on its hind legs, it ran away.

The Hippogriff is not as fast as a horse on the ground, but it is not slow at all. Moreover, after running for dozens of meters, his wings soared into the sky.

At Hermione's suggestion, the collar around the neck of the Hippogriff served a big deal at this point. Draco gripped the collar tightly, his legs grappling the hips of the Hippogriff, trying not to fall off.

Fortunately, the Hippogriff only circled in the air and returned to the ground. But by the time Draco flipped off the Hippogriff, his face, which had been darkened from a holiday Quidditch training, was already snow-white.

"Good, great. Well, I guess, Slytherin plus five points, give Draco! Hagrid was so happy that he didn't notice Draco's pale face. 600

Draco nodded, and after taking a few deep breaths, his face improved a lot. Then he climbed over the fence to the student, and he was far less agile than he had been in the past.

"You're awesome, Draco!" Pansy immediately greeted him, grabbing Draco. A group of Slytherin students applauded.

By this time, Draco had fully recovered, and he smiled smugly at the words, and then looked at Harry to the side. That expression, if there is a lot of sorrow, there will be a sorrow.

"So, does anyone want to try again?" Hagrid laughed.

This time, the students were much more enthusiastic, and several students raised their hands. But after all, it was Harry, who was holding back his strength, and raised his hand first.

Seeing Harry climb over the fence and mount the Hippogriff with Hagrid's help, Draco whispered to Daphine, "Cousin, don't get involved, it's not comfortable up there." The bumps are dying, and I'm dizzy, much worse than a broomstick. I almost didn't throw up! ”

Daphany smiled, not saying anything. Of course, she didn't mix in, not because she was afraid of bumps or dizziness, but simply because she didn't like to bow to an animal...... Just a bastard, she doesn't deserve to bow herself.

Harry's performance was a little better than Draco's. He rode another Hippogriff. However, both Hippogriffs seemed to recognize him, so he was much quicker than Draco. Apparently, they had already formed a friendship with the two Hippogriffs when they were helping Hagrid prepare for class.

But there are good and bad things about it. The good thing is that Harry is quicker in the early stages, but again, because the Hippogriff is more familiar with him, and plays a little trick with him in the air. There was a high-speed dive. When the results landed. Harry's face was whiter than Draco's.

Hagrid then chose two more students, but both were Gryffindors. Courage is this thing, sure enough, the Lion Courtyard is better, although the little snakes look very yearning, but they are more attentive They all noticed the students who came down from the back of the eagle-headed horse winged beast, and their faces were all pale and pale. When I think about it, it probably doesn't be fun.

The next two students riding Hippogriffs are Harry's roommate Seamus and a girl named Lavender Brown. This girl, who is usually inconspicuous, has the courage to climb on the back of a winged beast with the body of a hippony.

Hagrid then stopped letting the students play with Pegasus and began to talk about the animal.

Hagrid's love for Fantastic Beasts comes from the heart, and his knowledge of Fantastic Beasts is also essential. He personally kept and accompanied these animals in captivity, and his understanding of magical beasts was even better than that of some high-level magicians who specialized in magical beasts. His narration is far more vivid and rich than the textbook. Although his expression skills were poor, Hermione and Harry had obviously anticipated this and helped him prepare for the lesson in advance, so that the lesson could be said to be enjoyable.

Although the students were not allowed to ride again, after the two Hippogriffs had gradually adapted to the many students around them, Hagrid led the two Hippogriffs to the fence so that the students could observe them up close. Even let some of the somewhat daring students gently stroke them.

Magical Beast Conservation is a small class that only lasts an hour. It took almost half the time for the four students to ride Pegasus. Add in some interaction, and soon it's time for the end of class.

Most of the students were still unsatisfied, and after class, they were excited to walk and discuss. Clearly, Hagrid's first class was a great success.

The students of the Lion Academy went to Charms class, while Daphany and the others went to Transfiguration class.

Until they reached the basement where the Transfiguration class was taking place, the Snakes were still discussing what other interesting magical beasts Hagrid would tell them about in the next Fantastic Beasts class.

The Snake House had already finished its Fantastic Beasts class, but Ravenclaw wasn't going until Tuesday morning. Therefore, a group of eaglets listened to it like a cat's claw. I wish I could run to the paddock right now for a magical beast class and see the mighty Hippogriff. Even fantasies about riding it and flying around the sky.

It wasn't until Professor McGonagall arrived in the classroom that the classmates stopped discussing and fantasizing. Professor McGonagall's class was not an ordinary difficulty, and all the students were quick to concentrate and prepare to listen.

There was nothing special about the Transfiguration class, but at the end of the class, all the students began to talk about the Hippogriff. In fact, not only this grade, but also students who have applied for the Fantastic Beasts course above the fourth grade, and who have already taken the class, are also talking about it. They also saw magical, but mighty, magical creatures in their classes.

Classes are already in the fourth and sixth grades. The magical creature in the fourth grade is the Golden Flyer, an extremely rare bird. It is known to be the best flying creature in the world. Sixth grade is even more powerful, Hagrid actually brought a bird-type man-eating monster with him! Daphany didn't know if it was the one they had met in the Forbidden Forest last year. It's a top-level dangerous thing, but it's not a close touch for students, let alone riding. But even so, it still excites the students.

Hagrid's course was well received by all the students who participated in the course. For a time, he became a very popular professor in the college.
