Chapter 67: Tree Guard

As soon as he approached Hagrid's hut, Tooth rushed towards him, circling around the group. Albert crouched down, reached out and rubbed the dog's head, and scratched his chin again, which calmed the teeth.

Hagrid had pushed open the wooden door of the room and invited everyone in.

There was only one room in the hut, with ham and roasted pheasants hanging from the ceiling, and a copper kettle on the fireplace, which had long since been extinguished. In the corner was a large bed with a futon made of rags.

Hagrid picked up a pink umbrella in the corner and lit the fire, and hung a copper kettle filled with water on it to boil, apparently preparing to make them tea.

As he did this, he did not forget to turn back to the three of them and say, "Next time, the next time I see you sneaking into the woods, I will hand you over to Professor McGonagall, and she will definitely make you dare not enter the woods again." ”

"We're just curious...... What the hell is in the woods. George muttered, "Why, Dumbledore would ban the students from the woods." ”

"There are wild beasts in the woods, and magical creatures that are dangerous to you. Hagrid explained to them impatiently, "It's not for nothing that Dumbledore forbade you to enter the woods, it's too dangerous for you right now. ”

"Hagrid, be careful not to let the Tree Guards fall into the fireplace, they seem to be afraid of fire. Albert digressed.

"Oh!" Hagla opened his chair and sat down, put the cauldron on his body on the table, took out the herbs from the cabinet next to him, put them in his mouth and chewed them, and applied them to the wound of the cauldron, and also used some small wooden boards to help fix and bandage the cauldron and tie it with the tail hair of the unicorn.

However, it was a delicate task for Hagrid, but he still took it seriously.

It's just that the bandaged tree guard pot doesn't seem to appreciate it very much, and it's a little annoyed by the small plank on its body.

"I'm not very good at this kind of work. After Hagrid had dealt with the cauldron, he said to the crowd, "The cauldron has slender hands and feet, and it is easy to get injured and fractured. ”

The kettle rang, and Hagrid poured boiling water into the large teapot and poured everyone an amber cup of tea, next to which was a plate of small, stiff, irregularly shaped biscuits.

"It's white fresh. Albert asked, picking up the plant Hagrid was chewing on.

"Well, white fresh is the easiest and most effective plant I can find, and I asked Professor Sprout for some, which are very suitable for treating injuries in most animals. Hagrid took a sip of hot tea, ate a few more biscuits, and began to enthusiastically introduce everyone to the cultivation of the tree protection pot.

Hagrid pulled out a wooden box containing something resembling brown rice, and he said to the others, "Feed this to the tree guard pot to make them feel better." ”

"Hagrid, what is this?" Albert grabbed a handful and handed it to the two tree guards who were trying to shake off the bandage, and they immediately stopped struggling and pounced on them to eat

"Turtles. "A bug that the tree guard likes to eat." Of course, fairy eggs are also their favorite food. ”

Fred and Lee Jordan are both trying to feed the maintenance tree pot, and George is battling with a small cookie.

Albert saw George pick up a small biscuit and put it in his mouth, and after a few bites, he found that he couldn't bite it, so he reached out and took the biscuit out of his mouth, put it in front of his eyes and looked at it, as if he suspected that what he had just bitten was not a biscuit, but a stone.

Seeing this, Albert wanted to laugh a little, he didn't want to touch the cookie at all. This biscuit may be just right for Hagrid's mouth, but it is quite toothy for Albert.

"Hagrid, what are they for?" Fred asked, pointing to the cauldron of the tree.

"What's the use?" Hagrid thought for a moment and replied that the Tree Keeper was the best ranger, and that the trees that lived on them grew very luxuriantly, and that the wood of these trees was usually suitable for making wands.

"If one day, you want to remove leaves or wood from the tree guarded by the Tree Guard, it is best to give them some turtle or fairy eggs as a soothing, otherwise be careful of their sharp claws, there have been cases of being blinded by the Tree Guard. ”

"Why don't you have some?" Hagrid asked, noticing that a few of them were barely touching the biscuits.

"No, it's dinner time. Albert quibbled, and he took out his pocket watch and looked at the time, saying, "I think we should go back to the castle so as not to miss dinner." ”

"That's right. Hagrid suddenly remembered something, and said to Albert, "The trunk of the dead tree outside is the ...... of the Yamanashi tree."

"Thank you, Hagrid!" Albert immediately thanked the other party, "I'll take a short section back later." ”

"Do you need my help?" Hagrid liked the polite kid in front of him, because of his appearance, many students were afraid of him, and few of them were willing to talk to him.

"No!" Albert drew his wand and pointed to the dead tree, "Split." ”

"Is that enough?"

"I can't take more. Albert used a cutting charm to cut off a small section of the trunk of a tree, "I might use some more in the future." ”

"Then I'll leave it in the back of the house, and you'll need to get it yourself. Hagrid nodded.

"Goodbye Hagrid. Albert picked up a small piece of tree trunk and beckoned the other three roommates to walk towards the castle.

"What do you want to do here?" asked Jordan in confusion.

"You'll find out later. Albert smiled and looked at the three of them and asked, "How's it going in the woods?"

"It's about the same as the woods near my house. Fred winked at Albert and said, "We entered from the forest on the other side, but I didn't expect to meet Hagrid dragging the trunk of a dead tree, he probably went into the forest to help you get the pear tree." ”

"So, you're caught by Hagrid?" Albert wanted to laugh a little, he thought the three of them were so unlucky.

"I dare say they must be lying to us, there are no dangerous creatures in the woods. George grumbled.

Albert said in his heart, if you let you meet, it is estimated that you have already been taken away and eaten, how can you have the heart to gossip here.

Albert asked rhetorically, "You say...... Why would they deceive the students?"

Fred pouted, "Percy said there were many dangerous beasts in the woods, but not many people actually saw those beasts. ”

"Actually, you need to think differently. Albert reminded, "Why didn't Dumbledore allow the students to enter the woods?"

"What do you think...... What secrets are hidden in the woods?" Li Jordan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"It's possible, but there are other possibilities. Albert continued to analyze the three of them, "There should be a lot of magical creatures living in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, didn't Hagrid say that there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest? These magical creatures are dangerous to us, and going too deep into the Forbidden Forest will cause students to get lost. ”
