Chapter 16: Hippogriffs and Winged Beasts
Daphany was dazed, as were Harry and Ron.
Daphne was confused by Professor Sybil Trelawney in ancient rune class, while Harry and Ron were in divination class.
The difficulty of the ancient runiwen is really tasteful. An hour and a half of class made Daphne's head almost explode. After half an hour, Daphany still felt a little headache.
However, this is not the end, the next class of the Snake Academy is a difficult spell class. However, compared to the Lion Courtyard, the Snake Courtyard is not bad, because the second section of the Lion Courtyard is more difficult, and it is still the transformation class taught by their dean.
Charms classes are short, only an hour. There is still an hour before the start of lunch. Davinie said hello to her classmates and went back to her room to sleep.
When she woke up, Daphany felt much clearer. I ate lunch and went back to take a nap, and I suddenly felt completely refreshed.
"Confucius said: I don't sleep at noon, and I collapse in the afternoon. Meng Ziyun: Confucius was right. Daphany snorted, then smirked. She was in Chinese, and Draco and Pansy around her were all confused, not knowing what she was saying.
In the afternoon, there were two more classes, the first one was a magical beast protection class, the second was a Charms class in the Lion Courtyard, and the Transfiguration class was in the Snake Courtyard. Most of the students were very interested in the upcoming first Magical Beast Conservation class, and they were chattering about it before the class began.
Thanks to Daphany's reminder, all the students have mastered the way to deal with the "Yokai Book of the Yokai". Without Draco's yin and yang weirdness and rhythm, everyone thought this book was quite interesting.
Hagrid was overjoyed to see that everyone had mastered how to open the Yokai Book: "I thought that only a few people would be able to open the book. Of course, I think Hermione, Harry, and Draco are all fine. But it's nice that everybody did it! His joy could be seen in the large face covered by his beard and hair.
Because of the first-year dragon breeding, Hagrid had a special affection for Draco. Because Draco's knowledge of dragon taming was far superior to the others, he helped Hagrid a lot.
Draco smiled softly, but was noncommittal. He has a crush on dragons, but not Hagrid. Of course, this attitude is much stronger than it should be. After all, as a pure-blood, he looked down on and even hated Hagrid, who might have giant blood.
Hagrid wasn't so alert that he didn't notice Draco's indifference. Still excitedly saying, "Today I'm going to show you a funny little guy." Oh......" Speaking of which, he found that Hermione and Harry were staring at him 'viciously', and quickly added: "Of course, they are dangerous...... Seeing that the two of them were still not good, Hagrid finally compromised: "Well, although these animals are beautiful and interesting, they are very dangerous. Therefore, when you are in class, you must listen to my arrangement. ”
Most of the students were intrigued by the remarks. Daphany was secretly relieved. It seems that Harry and they have given Hagrid enough warning. That's good, and Daphany doesn't want any trouble in class. Enough of the in the third year, and Daphany didn't want Hagrid's Balbac to make trouble.
Hagrid led the group to a clearing outside the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid motioned for everyone to stand behind a row of fence walls. Daphine glanced at it, and the fence wall had clearly just been erected. It is made of wood the thickness of an adult's forearm, and the gap is not small and does not obstruct the view, but it is not easy for people to get through. Defanie guessed that it was also Harry and Hermione's gesture.
"Everybody standing behind the fence!" Hagrid told him that he had stepped over the fence in one step. The fence wall is as tall as an average adult's chest. The little wizards who are not yet fully developed are not as tall as the fence walls. Even if she developed very early, Daphany, who is now in the first echelon of her class, is only taller than a head. But for Hagrid, it's just a matter of lifting your legs.
Hagrid stood on the other side of the fence wall, pulled a whistle from his messy coat, and put it to his mouth and blew it hard. No one hears a sound, it should be an ultrasound or infrasound wave, which is not within the range of human hearing.
A moment later, a Gryffindor girl suddenly exclaimed, pointed to the sky, and exclaimed, "Oh, oh, look, heaven, heaven!" ”
Everyone followed her fingers, and between them, twelve wonderful creatures in the sky formed a formation and flew over the Forbidden Forest. They have the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings, and head appear to be those of an eagle, and they have a beak and claws that are as sharp as they look, and they are the best weapons for hand-to-hand combat. Each beast has a thick feathered collar around its neck, which makes them look very superb. Qiqi Chinese Network
"What's that?" Draco asked, somewhat excited. Of course, it is impossible for a child with a dragon plot to not have a flying plot, and Draco's eyes lit up at the sight of these guys hovering overhead. Not sure if she was really scared or pretending to be scared, Pansy hid behind Draco, but still couldn't help but stick her little head out and stare at the guys.
"Hippogriff, a winged beast, a mount cultivated by wizards in the Middle Ages." Daphany laughed and explained to the people around her: "It's a hybrid of a male griffin and a female horse. Originally, the wizards wanted griffons more, but griffins were too strong to tame. Even a powerful wizard is no match for him. Even if some are forcibly tamed, it is not enough. So I wanted to be a little more mixed-race. Unfortunately, although they succeeded in making one, it had a temperament like that of a father rather than a mother, so it was equally fierce and not easy to tame. ”
Hermione on the side pursed her mouth, and she knew that. When she learned that Hagrid was going to introduce the animal in her first class, she made a point to learn about it. Unfortunately, not as fast as Daphne's mouth.
The other little wizards all looked surprised and curious, and they all raised their heads to look at the Hippogriff that was still hovering in the sky.
Hagrid seemed to be deliberately showing off the guys, and let them hover for a while before blowing the previous whistle again. Ten of the twelve Hippogriffs turned around and flew back into the Forbidden Forest, while the other two, which were exceptionally large, fluttered their wings and slowly landed beside Hagrid.
Only then did everyone notice that the two Hippogriffs had a black leather collar tied around their necks. There were several metal hooks and loops on the collar, and Hagrid removed two chains one inch thick from one side of the fence wall, and took two animals from the leather pouches on the side, which he did not know whether they were rats or minks, and threw them to the two Hippogriffs.
The two Hippogriffs grabbed each other, then shook them and swallowed them. Well, there was a lot of blood foam when I threw it. Many of the girls present subconsciously sighed. Everyone instantly agreed with what Hagrid had said earlier, that this was a dangerous animal.
Hagrid's taming work seemed to be doing a good job, and after feeding, the two Hippogriffs obediently asked Hagrid to chain them. The other end of the chain was in Hagrid's hand. With his strange power, he had no problem holding the two Hippogriffs.
"Hippogriff!" Hagrid said with one hand on the chain, and said in a cheerful tone. At the same time, he waved a hand at the students, "They're pretty, aren't they?"
It has to be said that at first sight of this half-horse, half-bird creature will be shocked, but after the shock is over, you will appreciate its shiny fur, which smoothly transitions from feather to fur, and comes in different colors: dark gray, bronze, pink sand hair (red and white), shiny chestnut, and finally jet black. It does have a bit of a mighty taste, at least many boys' eyes shine.
Hagrid led the two Hippogriffs to the fence and said with a smile, "The first thing you must know about Hippogriffs is that they are proud," he said, stroking the feathers on one of their necks, "They don't have a good temper, and they can easily offend them." You have seen his sharp beak and claws, and you will not want to feel its power. ”
Most of the students nodded in agreement, but there were a few Gryffindor boys who looked at the two Hippogriffs with winged beasts, their eyes shining. Well, the brave and brainless little lions seem to be interested in these big guys.
"Are there any brave guys who would like to come and get in touch with these big guys?" Hagrid asked with a smile. He was happy because so far the class seemed pretty good. It was the right thing to do to listen to Harry and Hermione's advice.
According to the original plan, this was when Harry should have stepped forward. However, Harry had already come into contact with the Hippogriffs before, but he had just seen them look like they were biting on their food, and he was a little scared, so he hesitated slightly. It was really only a moment, maybe less than a second, and then, he was preempted.
"Me!" Draco raised his hand in the air, almost hitting Goyle beside him with such speed that it almost hit him.
"It's brave...... Draco ...... "Hagrid almost bit his tongue. Originally, the plan was to be Harry, so he even thought of the lines: what a brave Gryffindor, and then, the first to raise his hand was Draco.
Draco naturally didn't expect Hagrid, who only had stones in his head, to have a 'lesson plan', so he didn't notice Hagrid's surprise. As a fan of dragons, the harppogriff's rough eating appearance made him even more excited. Patting Pansy nervously, Draco flipped over the fence wall with his hands and feet.
The Seeker's training is still a Daphany-style enhancement, which makes Draco's skills more agile, and it is naturally easy to climb a fence wall. The dashing figure even made the eyes of many little girls burst into stars, and Pansy glared viciously at these to maintain her status.
