Chapter 53: It's Ugly
Harley stroked Buckbeica's head in amazement, is this magical animal so well-behaved?
But looking at the flattery on the surface of Buckbeica's big bright orange eyes and the fear in the depths of his eyes, Harley also understood why it reacted this way.
It seems that it is not weird, but it is too spiritual, and it realizes the horror of the smiling girl in front of it.
Hagrid exclaimed, "Oh, well done, Hallie!" ”
"You're definitely a natural expert at protecting magical beasts!"
"You see Buckbicardo likes you!"
"I don't think Buckbika will agree with you, and I'm starting to think about where I've offended you."
Hallie complained inwardly as she patted Buckbeica's head lightly.
The students in the back also exclaimed excitedly, it turned out that the Hippogriffs were not as terrifying as they looked.
The students, who had been desperately trying to stay away from them, were eager to try and want to come forward and touch them.
According to the original seniors, the first class is generally to choose less harmful magical animals such as moon beasts or tree monkeys.
And in my first class, I came into contact with the Hippogriff...... It's definitely enough to blow for a while when you go back!
Hagrid also offered to let Harley ride Buckbeica up for a spin, but Harley looked at Buckbeica's slightly trembling body and decided to spare the poor little one.
With Hallie's success story, the rest of the class gathered around the Hippogriff of their choice.
However, most people were still more cautious, and still followed the Hagrid method step by step, and only approached after receiving the approval of the Hippogriff.
After all, what if the Hippogriff Harry had chosen was a special case?
Something went wrong when the time came, annoying the Hippogriffs, whose talons would not be polite to them.
Hagrid, on the other hand, walked around the crowd, shouting the name of the Hippogriff and instructing the students.
But there are still people who are more deadly.
Malfoy and his two henchmen approached a gray Hippogriff named Buckbeak.
He actually wanted to choose the most beautiful buck bee that Harley had chosen earlier to prove that he was no worse than Harley.
But Hallie was still chatting with Hermione, rubbing Buckbeica's head.
So he could only reluctantly choose the slightly uglier one on the other side.
Out of some kind of unknown psychology, Malfoy did not bow, but only bowed slightly, and walked towards Buckbeak.
He couldn't bow down to such an ugly beast and lose the face of the Malfoy family;
More importantly, what Harry Potter could do, why couldn't he?
"Oh, Malfoy!" Hagrid saw this scene from afar, and immediately squeezed over with all his might, shouting at the same time,
"Why didn't you do what I taught! Get away from Buckbeak! Before he hurts you! ”
But it was too late, and Buckbeak's rigid claws flashed, and Malfoy let out a piercing scream and fell to the ground.
Buckbeak tried to stretch his neck to bite Malfoy, but was restrained by a chain tied to the fence and couldn't.
By the time it reacted and tried to continue attacking with its claws, Hagrid had already gotten close and dragged Buckbeak away.
Malfoy lay curled up on the grass, blood staining his dark green robes.
"I'm going to die! Look at me! This monster is killing me! ”
Malfoy yelled weakly, and the class panicked, and quickly moved away from the Hippogriff beside him.
The Slytherin classmates let out a strange scream, but none of them dared to chase away the Hippogriff or carry Malfoy out of danger.
"It's ugly!" Harley whispered, pulling out a bottle of healing potion from her pocket and throwing it away.
The potion spun in midair, the stopper pulled out by the transparent spider silk, and the liquid poured over Malfoy's wound.
The bleeding wound on Malfoy's arm quickly stopped the bleeding, but he screamed harder.
"What a waste of my good potions, I'll have to get back to Professor Snape for reimbursement." Hallie pouted.
If Hagrid hadn't been his friend and had provided him with so many materials, Harley wouldn't have wasted potions to save Malfoy.
By this time, Hagrid had tethered Buckbeak far enough and ran over to pick up Malfoy.
He panicked and arranged for the students to get out of class, and ran to the castle with Malfoy in his arms.
Although Harry's potions had temporarily stabilized his injuries, Malfoy still needed to be healed by Madam Pomfrey.
The classmates were all chattering towards the castle, and the Slytherins were loudly criticizing Hagrid and even demanding that he be expelled.
Although many Gryffindors chose to maintain Hagrid, they were not so confident.
Hallie and Hermione walked at the back of the crowd.
"Hagrid is going to be in big trouble, and there's a good chance he'll be fired." Hermione said with a frown as she listened to the whining voices of the little wizards in the distance.
"Not really." Harley shook her head, "Old Lucius is no longer a school director, and the other school directors don't care. ”
"Although Malfoy was badly injured, the accidents that occurred in other classes were much more serious."
"Professor Celtic Byrne almost burned Hogwarts, and only received a warning for probation."
"As long as Professor Dumbledore doesn't want to fire Hagrid, he'll be fine, like Professor Celtic Byrne at most."
Hermione almost laughed when she thought of Professor Celtic Byrne's sixty-three years of teaching experience and sixty-three notices of absence.
But she quickly regained her worries: "But Malfoy won't give up, after all, his father ......"
"Then it's up to Lucius to play." Hallie pointed out the crux of the matter.
……
Rumors spread most quickly at Hogwarts, even faster than normal notice.
In the morning, rumors were still prevalent at Hogwarts that the Lion Queen of Gryffindor was about to fall.
There are even people who open a bet in the small black market at Hogwarts, betting on whether Professor Trelawney's prediction will come true, and whether there will be a Hogwarts version of "Battle of the Sword Fence".
Of course, the game was reported by an unnamed red-haired twin brother before it reached 3 p.m.
But by the time dinner was in the evening, the news of Harley's death was outdated, and it was now popular that Malfoy was dead.
The news spread more and more, and finally it even became that Malfoy was dismantled by two fire dragons, and then torn to pieces by a group of sphinxes and manticores.
