Chapter 7: Rubeus Hagrid

Today is the last day of summer vacation at Hogwarts, and tomorrow evening, a red-painted train will whine and bring a group of young wizards to the gates of this school.

Iger flicked his wand in his hand, and a small silver kitten obediently followed behind him, although Snape said that the spell would gradually drain the mana, but Iger didn't seem to feel much so far, and could feel the strong sense of explosive power before fading, but it was not very obvious.

Egger felt that if he wanted to, he could turn into a black mass of silence at any time.

The reason why the silent ones did not live for so long was mainly because the body of the young wizard could not withstand that much magic, just like the water in a bucket, when the amount of water reached a critical point, it would burst through the bucket.

And what Iger has to do now is to release the endless water as much as possible, and at the same time increase the capacity of the bucket, when the bucket changes from a wooden barrel to an iron bucket, Iger will be able to withstand the power of Silent, and at that time, Silently will become Egger's most powerful weapon.

At this time, Egger had been under the Patronus Curse for more than two hours, but the imaginary sense of prostration had not arrived, but Egger did feel more and more coordinated, and he had a feeling that when the silence in his body gradually weakened and he gradually became stronger, he would be able to completely control this black ink at that time.

The weather in Scotland was pretty good, at least Iger hadn't been able to use his umbrella until now, and Iger was walking on a vast lawn when a hut appeared in the distance.

The corners of Egg's mouth curled slightly, he knew where this was, this should be Hagrid's cabin.

There was a gentle knock on the door, and a dog barked in the room, followed by a rough voice: "Shut up, toothy!" ”

The wooden door of the hut was quickly opened, and Hagrid lowered his head, and in front of him was a blond boy of eight or nine years old, looking at him in amazement, the boy with a pair of blue eyes and a small face with soft lines looked very handsome.

"Ah, hello, I think you must be Professor Dumbledore's Egg, right?" Hagrid looked at Egg and smiled.

"Hello, Hagrid, Iger Morissus." Iger held out his little hand.

Hagrid rubbed his rough big hand on his body with some restraint, and then carefully held Egg's soft little hand, for fear that it would hurt Egg.

"Rubeus Hagrid, nice to meet you, come and sit in the house." Hagrid turned to the side and motioned for Egg to come in.

Egg walked into the house, looked around curiously, he saw a bunch of silver unicorn fur hanging on the wall, all kinds of strange ornaments, the hut was shabby, but it was very warm.

"I've heard about you, Egger, and I'm sorry." Hagrid looked at Egg's curious eyes and said in a deep voice, "But don't worry, Dumbledore is the greatest magician, and he will definitely find a way to help you." ”

Egger smiled: "It's okay, in fact, I don't really care about this kind of thing, there are many things that are more terrible than death, aren't they?" ”

Hagrid raised his eyebrows and looked at Egger with some surprise: "I'm glad you have such knowledge, Egger, really, if you need anything, just tell me, I will definitely help you." ”

"Thank you, Hagrid." Iger was not polite, and immediately looked like Hagrid: "I don't know if you can help me get some eight-eyed giant spider venom and unicorn hair, of course, I will go with you." ”

Hagrid immediately waved his hand and rejected Egger's offer to go with him: "I have the unicorn hair here, and you can give it to you directly if you want, although I don't know what that thing is for." ”

"There are ten Galleons on the market." Egg looked at Hagrid with a smile: "The venom of the eight-eyed giant spider is even rarer, and it has a price of 100 Galleons per pint. ”

Hagrid shook his head: "I already know those things, Professor Dumbledore has long advised me to improve my life, but I don't think it's useful to ask for too much money, of course, if Egger needs it, I'll help you pay more attention." ”

"That's a great thanks, I don't have much of an income stream, so it would be great if I could get that done before I started in three years." Egger burst out laughing.

"Then I am even more obliged." Hagrid smiled, "To be honest, I like people like you, you're very honest. ”

"Thanks for the compliment, I'm still a little ashamed, I always feel like I'm taking advantage of you." Egg grinned a little embarrassedly.

"Don't think so, Egger." Hagrid glanced at Egg seriously: "Anyone can see that I am a half-blood giant, you are the first little wizard who saw me who was not afraid and was still very friendly, although there are many people among the students who are not afraid of me, but there are really not many people like you who are so frank and frank, I know, most of them are still more disgusted with my bloodline." ”

Iger grinned, "We're friends, aren't we?" In fact, I've always felt like I'm a freak too..."

Who the hell would embrace death in a normal person?

"We are friends!" Hagrid nodded seriously: "Seriously, Egger, I really hope you will enter Gryffindor in the future." ”

Egger spread his hands: "Actually, I would have preferred that I could go to Ravenclaw." ”

"Why? Those smart people weren't very easy to get along with. Hagrid seemed a little surprised by Egger's answer.

The corners of Egger's mouth twitched, why? Of course, it's to find the dead raven to avenge it! Egg thought a lot about it yesterday, what kind of chickens and rabbits are in the same cage, what kind of perverted pool keeper who enters the water while releasing water, two drag racers with different starting times, etc., all waiting to return the tribute to the dead raven at the door of Ravenclaw.

"I was educated by a bird, and he is not alive yet!" Iger snorted.

Hagrid reacted immediately: "You said that knocker at the door of the Ravenclaw common room?" The inexplicable eagle? ”

"yes, that's the one..."Egg smiled, "I just wanted to experience the thrill of being smart, but it wouldn't cooperate with me..."

"Don't worry about Egger," Hagrid pointed to the kitten rubbing at Egger's feet, "No one can summon a Patronus at your age, and Professor Dumbledore can't do it, you're a genius!" ”

"I might just have more magic," Iger said uncertainly.

"There are a lot of Iger people with a lot of magic, but I'm pretty sure that even Professor Dumbledore can't summon a Patronus at the age of eight."

Egger suddenly felt much better, and he didn't care whether what Hagrid said was true or not.

At least because of Hagrid's words, his psychological shadow in the past two days has been dispelled a lot because he is about to die again.

"If you don't mind, I want to go to the Forbidden Forest with you, okay?" Egg smiled, "Dumbledore reminded me that if I want to go to the Forbidden Forest, I must let you follow, and besides, I don't think it's good to get something for nothing." ”

Hagrid thought about it for a moment, and finally nodded, "If Dumbledore suggests, then fine, but you must follow me well." ”

"Thank you, I will." Egger suddenly stood up with some excitement.

A few minutes later, Hagrid walked with Iger in the Forbidden Forest with a small pink umbrella.

"This forest is full of mysteries, and there are many interesting magical creatures." Hagrid said.

Egg nodded, and took out a small sniffer from his arms, Hagrid was stunned for a moment: "This is sniffing, oh my god Egg, where did you find it?" ”

"Mr. Newt Scamander gave it to me, but he seemed a little reluctant to think I would eat it." Iger laughed.

"This little thing likes treasures, shiny things, and if you have time, you can bury something near the Forbidden Forest for him to find." Hagrid motioned for Iger to put Sniff away.

The forbidden forest is beautiful during the day, the pristine and retro ecosystem makes this forest full of mystery, the sun shines through the dappled branches and leaves on the ground, surrounded by ancient trees, and Iger feels that the air seems to be much fresher.

A timid voice came, and Egg turned his head to see a few small green things hanging from the trees beside him, like praying mantises.

"That's the Tree Guard, I'm very scared, but after getting acquainted with it, they will be very clingy." Hagrid laughed and motioned for Iger to reach out.

Egger stretched out his hand and handed it to a small tree guard, the little guy in front of him looked at Egger with some panic, Egger hooked his fingers with a smile, and the little guy timidly moved to Egg's hand.

"Very well, you are very talented Egger." Hagrid's eyes lit up as he looked at Egg's appearance from the sidelines: "You can find some turtles to feed him, this little guy likes you very much, you may be able to get a good grade in the magical beast protection class." ”

"Really? Lend you auspicious words. Iger smiled, his hands protecting the small tree guard.

The sniffer in his arms poked his head out, glanced at the tree guard pot curiously, and then took out a penny from Egg's arms and handed it over.

"Muggle coins." Hagrid smiled, "Looks like they're a good match, are you going to raise him?" ”

"Is that okay?" Iger was stunned.

Hagrid nodded, "Of course, Egger, not everyone will be favored by the Tree Protector, most will only be stabbed in the eye by them." ”

Egger curiously teased the little Luo pot in his hand: "Then come up with a name, let's call it Guoba..."

Egger started in Chinese...

"Pot?" Hagrid jerkily pronounced the awkward Oriental name: "If you think it's appropriate, it's good to be a pot." ”

"As for this," Egger nodded to the little sniff in his arms, "It's okay." ”

"What's that name?" Hagrid looked at Egg a little strangely.

"Isn't it appropriate for a strange-looking duck?" Egg looked up like Hagrid.

"I think it's more like a seal..."Hagrid said as he looked at Darco's whirring body, God knows where he looked like a seal...

The two of them made their way through the woods, and Hagrid constantly introduced Iger to the magical creatures that haunted from time to time.

In the air, a flower flew in front of Egg, who looked at the floating flower in front of him with strange eyes.

"It's the Invisible Beast, Egger." Hagrid smiled, "You're in luck, I don't usually see him, he always likes to take the biscuits from my house when I'm not looking, I guess he must always be hungry." ”

Iger couldn't help but grin as he thought of the cookies Hagrid had made.

Have you ever thought that he might just be using it for self-defense?

Of course, Iger still couldn't bear to say this, he thought it would make Hagrid very disappointed.

Hagrid is such a simple man... I can't help but want to bully!

Reaching out to take the flower, Egger reached out to touch it, but the invisible beast didn't give Egger a chance, and passed the flower and disappeared.

There was a sound of eagle crying, and several eagle-headed horses and winged beasts chirping at the two of them in the distance, Hagrid patted Egger lightly on the head: "Be careful, the hipponies are a little short-tempered, it is said that they are the offspring of griffons and horses, but I don't know if it's or not." ”

Hagrid stepped forward and waved his arm: "Buckbeak, introduce, this is Egger." Egger, this is Buckbeak. ”

Egger looked at Buckbeak in front of him with some curiosity, and then asked, "What should I do?" ”

"Look them in the eye, then bend down and bow until it bends over you, and you can get closer to it." Hagrid motioned, "Be careful not to blink, it will make it think you are not sincere." ”

Egger looked directly into Buckbeak's eyes and bowed fully, and the big eagle horse in the distance raised his head a little proudly, looked at Egger for a long time, and then slowly bowed to Egg.

"Well done, Egger, come, now you can ride them." Hagrid beckoned, motioning for Iger to come closer.

Egger touched Buckbeak with some eagerness in his eyes, and seemed to enjoy seeing Buckbeek's appearance.

Hagrid stepped forward and lifted Egger under his armpit and lifted Egger onto Buckbeak's back.

"Hold its neck."

Egger hurriedly hugged Buckbeak's neck, Hagrid reached out and patted Buckbeak's hind legs, Buckbeak jerked up his two front paws, and then rushed out like an arrow off the string, his wide wings spread, and a tall eagle horse carried Egger straight into the sky.

The oncoming wind blew on Egger's face, and Egger looked in a trance, holding Buckbeak's neck with both hands, and his heart jumped with joy.

Tall Hippogriffs flew against the wind, flying over Hogwarts, occasionally passing through the cloisters of the castle courtyard and then circling the towering bell tower.

Egger sat on top of Buckbeak and watched as the beast beneath him made its way through the vast Black Lake before slowly flying back into the Forbidden Forest.

Brushing his windswept hair, Egger was lifted off Buckbeak's back by Hagrid, and Hagrid looked at Egger with a smile: "Now that you know each other, you can come to play with it at any time in the future, I think it will like to be with you." ”

Egg nodded, the giant beast in front of him had a great attraction to Egg.

At night, in Hagrid's room, the two of them counted the day's harvest.

"Five unicorn hairs, a nest of bird and snake eggshells, and the venom of two eight-eyed giant spiders, about half a pint." Hagrid said, looking at something on the table.

Iger did the math, and there were probably more than one hundred and thirty Galleons.

Hagrid laughed: "The cost of books at Hogwarts is only a dozen Galleons a year, and you can buy a lot of things with the rest of the money." ”

"It's incredible, Hagrid, you're guarding a treasure trove!" Egger looked excited.

The two of them didn't go too deep in the Forbidden Forest, but just wandered around the outer part of the Forbidden Forest for a day, Hagrid obviously didn't want Egg to be in any danger, but just wandering around the periphery, the two of them also earned more than a hundred Galleons a day.

The Weasleys knew they would cry, right? Iger couldn't help but think.

"Three years, I think it's enough time for you to earn tuition until you graduate." Hagrid laughed.

"Maybe when I graduate, I'll be a monopoly..."
