I'm not sure, Elena. ”

The look on Hagrid's face darkened suddenly, and he spoke in a gruff voice, his voice full of frustration.

"You see, even the simplest of supervising freshman training, I've had such a big basket on my side, let alone teaching someone else — frankly, I don't know if I'm up to the job. ”

Prior to that incident, Hagrid had been confident in his knowledge and experience around the Forbidden Forest.

However, it wasn't until he saw so many young wizards faint in front of him that Rubeus Hagrid finally realized that many animals and plants that he saw as harmless could be fatal to the little ones in the school.

"Don't worry, Hagrid!" Elena smiled, "You're definitely the best at Hogwarts when it comes to finding and caring for magical beasts, and I couldn't have found a better fit for you." Besides, isn't there still me?"

In fact, in Elena's opinion, Hagrid is even better suited for the job than Newt Scamander.

The bloodline of the half-blood giant brings more than just a discriminatory gaze, an extremely high physical and magical defense physique, super self-healing and recovery ability, extraordinary strength and a small amount of magical ability, no less than Elena's suppressed aura at the top of the food chain, and a rich reserve of magical animal knowledge......

As a researcher of magical beasts, Hagrid may be a little lacking, but if you think of him as a magical beast hunter roaming the wilderness, he is definitely one of the top talents in the wizarding world.

As we all know, the closest to nature will never be those "vegetarians" who are not sober-minded, and the hunters who eat meat and drink wine in large bowls and do not waste every gift of nature are the ones who are truly integrated into the natural world.

You know, Rubeus Hagrid's identity at Hogwarts is not some harmless "nature reserve ranger".

It seems that people have consciously or unintentionally overlooked a very important point, according to the most accurate official title and title, Hagrid's current job is [Hogwarts Hunting Ground Guard].

The Forbidden Forest has never been a peaceful paradise.

From the deep, cold Black Lagoon to the endless forested mountains, this vast and uninhabited wilderness area has been defined as a hunting ground for Hogwarts Castle since the time of Salazar Slytherin.

"But wouldn't that be a bit ......?"

Vaguely sensing that something was wrong, Hagrid put down the glass in his hand and said with a slight hesitation.

"I mean, the Hogwarts section sounds like it's more than just an introduction, right?"

After so many years of working in the Hogwarts Hunting Grounds, Rubeus Hagrid was eager to step onto the bigger stage and share his knowledge of raising magical beasts with more people—not to mention now that the Ministry of Magic had reversed his sentence.

However, listening to Elena's meaning, it seems to be more like sharing the experience of eating magical beasts?!

"Yes, some of it will be about food value, but it's not a conflict. ”

Elena stroked her hair lightly, and after two seconds of silence, she replied solemnly.

"Mr. Rubeus Hagrid, as a magical beast lover, you must be well aware of the terrible living conditions of cute animals in the wizarding world right now, right? Even with wizards like Mr. Newt Scamander who have been roaming and appealing, the number of magical beasts continues to decline. ”

Considering that Hagrid's standards for cute animals are different from normal people, the terrible situation that Elena mentioned can be said to be extremely profound for Hagrid - whether it is a three-headed dog, a fire dragon, or an eight-eyed spider...... Even harmless creature such as the Hippogriff is facing the threat of the wizarding world all the time.

However, because of this, the look on Hagrid's face became more and more confused.

"You're right, the living environment of magical beasts is indeed getting worse and worse, in that case, then what kind of eating experience you said sounds even more untenable......"

If it weren't for Professor Dumbledore and Mr. Otto's face, Hagrid's tone might have been a little more unkind, after all, it was a bit embarrassing to talk about taste or something in front of a small animal protection - even if there was something like a ferret pie on the menu of Hagrid's cabin.

"On the contrary, I would like to say that you have all along fallen into the trap of protecting magical beasts. ”

Elena looked up at Hagrid, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, and whispered.

"The unknown brings fear, and fear is the source of all rejection. If you want to protect a species, you need to understand it in all aspects and integrate it into the world as much as possible, and the easiest way to do this is to figure out if it can be eaten, how it should be eaten, and whether it is good or not......"

Seeing the look on the face of the white-haired dumpling, the two old men sitting next to the wooden table subconsciously exchanged glances.

It's coming, it's coming! This black-hearted little girl is starting to fool people again!

The two of them were all too familiar with this feeling—the seductive blood of a half-breed girl, combined with the rhythm of Grindelwald's speech, and the kind and gentle eyes that were characteristic of Dumbledore......

Before she knew it, Elena had gradually begun to grow into a qualified demon king.

Neither Dumbledore nor Grindelwald thought they could compare to Elena's terrible talent for imitation and learning.

And the most difficult thing for the two of them to do is: Normally, the things that come out of the child's mouth, although they seem to be particularly absurd and crazy at first glance, but after thinking about it carefully, they always contain a legitimate logic that people can't refuse.

For example, the current scenario is the best example......

"Mr. Hagrid, are you afraid of wild boars?"

"How is that possible, it's just a pig......" Hagrid shook his head in mockery.

"However, in nature, any wild boar that is a little larger basically weighs 300 kilograms, and with a running speed of 40-70 kilometers per hour, it can easily directly hit most wizards into serious injuries. Whether it is bite force, bounce power, or defense power, it is much more terrifying than many beasts in the conventional sense. ”

Elena smiled lightly and spread her hands, licked her lips without leaving a trace, and said very seriously.

"The most important reason why people are not afraid of wild boars is because, when we see wild boars, a large part of the relevant knowledge and memories that come to our minds are roast suckling pig, roast pork knuckle, smoked ham, fried bacon, roasted sausages, pork stew, ......"

"Think about it, when you think of the golden red pork skin cut by the dinner knife, the rising heat satisfies the aroma with the unique fat of meat, the chewy layer of pork hind leg with distinct layers of fiber, and the thick and pale pink flavor under the crispy outer and tender skin of the pork knuckle marinated overnight...... All fear will cease to exist, and in its place will be the most earthly laws of nature. ”

With Elena's eloquent voice, the corresponding images instantly appeared in the minds of the three wizards present.

In particular, Albus Dumbledore, who had been eating the healthy recipe for the elderly for two days in a row, swallowed without leaving a trace - this kid is really the devil, right? This kind of place doesn't need to be described in such detail at all.

Grunt~

Hagrid swallowed a mouthful of saliva, tilted his face slightly, and looked at Elena with a frown.

"Wait, you don't mean to say ......"

"Another question, do you think humans are afraid of geese?"

Before Rubeus Hagrid could finish speaking, Elena smiled and continued.

"You know, an adult swan can weigh up to 30 pounds, and in an enraged state, it can confront an otaku wizard who has lost his wand, uh, I mean, the kind of wizard who doesn't usually like sports, and squats at home for a long time and smirks at a place. Clearly, however, we don't need to worry about swans going extinct. ”

"Because, just like the memories of wild boars, our taste buds and brains will tell us clearly, roasted whole goose, swan pie, goose soaked in herb oil, goose stewed with carrots, pan-fried foie gras...... How delicious these dishes are? ”

"And, of course, the most common owl in the wizarding world, a creature known in the non-wizarding world as the round-faced fat chicken. An adult large, round-faced fat chicken can easily hunt prey that weighs twice its body weight, and its hunting range extends from the sky, land, and all the way to diving. Even so, the Owl Courier is still the best pet for young wizards......"

"That's right, all of these animals have one thing in common – they are well known and familiar to humans, and they have been perfectly integrated into our daily lives, whether as food, pets, hunting companions, ......"

Elena licked her lips again, a hint of coldness flashed in her lake-blue eyes, and a yearning look appeared on her face.

"As far as I know, the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts is home to a group of eight-eyed spiders. If I'm not mistaken, that's why you were framed as the opener of the vault fifty years ago......"

At this point, Elena paused for a moment, glanced at Hagrid, whose expression froze, and then at Albus Dumbledore, who did not look surprised, and continued mercilessly.

"Mr. Hagrid, or Senior Hagrid, the Eight-Eyed Spider, this is a magical animal that has been labeled as a high-risk by the Ministry of Magic, and even if the Ministry of Magic drops its previous accusation against you for opening the Chamber of Secrets, this creature is still ...... to human wizards."

"Aragog doesn't hurt anyone! People are prejudiced against the eight-eyed spider. ”

Hagrid's tangled bushy beard shook violently and gasped.

Eight-eyed giant spider?? The Acromantula is a giant spider that originally grew deep in the rainforests of southeastern Asia, especially in the dense jungles of Kalimantan, and was not found around Hogwarts.

However, between 1940 and 1943, a traveler gave the eggs of an eight-eyed spider to Rubeus Hagrid. Hagrid named it Aragog and brought it into the castle to raise it in a storage room in the dungeon.

In 1943, after Hagrid was framed as the culprit for opening the Vault, Aragog was released into the Forbidden Forest, and later Hagrid often visited Aragog in the Forbidden Forest, and found his wife, Mosag.

Since then, a colony of eight-eyed spiders has appeared in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts.

But after all these years, the eight-eyed spider colony that inhabits the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest has never attacked a single Hogwarts wizard, and this is partly due to the fact that no young wizard has ever ventured deep into the Hogwarts Forbidden Forest to find their nest.

If Elena remembers correctly, this cruel and cannibalistic giant spider will not behave as friendly and harmless as Hagrid imagined when faced with humans who have sent it to her door - half of the reason why they don't eat Hagrid is because of the grace of their support, and more because they may not be able to defeat the mad half-blood giant wizard.

However, as in the story of the terrifying Homo erectus gradually rising to the top of the food chain.

In Elena's view, there are only two main reasons why a creature is feared and rejected by people, and it has not found a suitable way to eat it, or has not developed irreplaceable medicinal properties.

Luckily, thanks to the efforts of so many Potions Masters in the wizarding world, half of this value has been developed: the Eight-Eyed Spider can secrete venom, a prized potion ingredient that costs as much as a pint/100 Galleons on the black market.

Now, Elena wants to further develop this magical animal, and truly become a regular magical creature that can be widely accepted by the wizarding world, rather than a demonized high-risk animal - medicinal and edible, which are two very different social recognitions.

In other words, people don't have much awe when they can eat anything.

And from the perspective of the food chain, even if that animal can also eat people, then everyone is at least in a five-five relationship with each other, for example, the magic version of crayfish, the magic version of Pipi shrimp may also eat people, but no one is afraid of them.

Of course, the first step is to change the name of the eight-eyed giant spider to a better one.

"Terrestrial soft-shell hairy crab" is a cute name - although many people like to attribute spiders to an insect, in fact, in theory, spiders and crabs are more closely related.

"Don't get excited, Hagrid, I'm not done yet...... Actually, I agree with you, the eight-eyed giant spider is not that scary, but the angle I stand at is slightly different, and our purpose is the same. ”

Elena shrugged her shoulders and took Hagrid's words as she continued.

"As people learn about this [terrestrial soft-shelled hairy crab], I think there is a chance that more people can even get involved in breeding eight-eyed giant spiders, just ...... A small sacrifice. I'm just an ordinary chef, and cooking food is my specialty, but how to catch prey is not my area of expertise. ”

"No, no! Aragog is my friend, and I won't hurt it. ”

Hagrid shook his head with a serious expression, a trace of pain appeared on his face, "Elena, you don't understand, in the eyes of many people, a wizard like me is actually not much different from the eight-eyed giant spider, I have even been in a wizard's prison......"

"Of course I understand, in fact, from the first time I saw you. ”

Elena looked at Hagrid, who was almost emotionally mobilized, stood up and patted the giant's granite arm, calmly ruffled her hair, and offered her last killer move.

"Hagrid, you're a half-blood giant, aren't you? and I'm a half-blood girl—a half-human wizard just like you. So, it's important to understand that we're on the same side, not Fantastic Beasts. Now, tell me about your decision. ”

As Elena's voice fell, the cabin fell into a brief silence.

It wasn't until a few minutes later that Hagrid sighed heavily, looked up and glanced meaningfully at the little hand that Elena had handed him, her dark eyes filled with struggle and tears.

"I'm sorry, Miss Caslana, but I won't take the initiative to harm Aragog and his offspring. At least, I wouldn't do it until they harmed and attacked the wizard. ”

Hagrid paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Professor Dumbledore, who had been silent and just smiling at the two of them.

If this was Professor Albus Dumbledore's request, Rubeus Hagrid would have worked hard to complete it, but as things stand, it was clear that Professor Dumbledore had left the choice more into his own hands.

The giant's tone gradually became smooth and firm, although he was still a little choked, but he no longer had the same confusion as before, and he lowered his head to look into Elena's eyes and said seriously.

"And I've thought about it, and then I'll agree to Professor Dumbledore's invitation to return to Hogwarts to continue my studies, fulfill my father's last wish, and add the duties of a hunting ground guard...... So, I probably don't have much energy and time to get the job done as a hunter in the Forbidden Forest. ”
