Around 10 a.m., it suddenly started to rain.

With the sound of raindrops tapping on the glass window, Kyle and Connor sat comfortably, sipping hot pine needle tea and chatting with Hagrid.

The conversation quickly shifted to the Triwizard Tournament.

"How does it feel to be a Warrior." Hagrid asked, curious.

"It's not clear yet." Kyle said, "But the rest of the days are going to be very busy...... Everyone was so welcoming, I felt like I had two pints of Butterbeer last night. ”

"Of course, after all, you're representing Hogwarts." Hagrid laughed and said, "But you have to practice your drinking, it's just butterbeer, and you can only drink two pints, which is not good." ”

Hagrid said it lightly, as a matter of course...... After all, when he usually goes to three brooms to drink, he starts with three pints.

"I drank it after dinner." Kyle said, trying to explain to Hagrid that it wasn't that he couldn't drink, but that he really couldn't drink.

Seriously, a drink like butterbeer can just get drunk with a prefect who has already graduated.

But looking at Hagrid, he didn't seem to care at all about what Kyle said.

"Look at what you said, I won't go with three brooms on an empty stomach......" he put a copper kettle on the fire, "it's okay, there's no shame in the amount of wine, and I won't tell anyone else." ”

Kyle opened his mouth, finally giving up on the idea of explaining...... It doesn't matter, Hagrid won't listen anyway.

After that, the conversation quickly shifted to the Triwizard Tournament.

"The competition is going to be exciting, I really didn't expect to see the Triwizard Tournament resume in my life."

Hagrid grinned and said, "You're going to see things you've never seen before, and the first project was so exciting, yes...... Ah, I shouldn't have said that, shouldn't. ”

"Go on, Hagrid." Connor urged, "What's the first project?" ”

But Hagrid just shook his head.

"I don't want to spoil your interest." "But that's not allowed, and the Warriors are going to keep all the information completely secret until the project starts, and I think for Kyle, he's okay if he doesn't know." ”

Kyle was actually tempted to tell Hagrid that he cared about the content, especially after Chris said that the first event was a pass.

Since it is a breakthrough, it is naturally impossible to have only one dragon, and the more you know, the more beneficial it will be.

But Hagrid didn't give him this opportunity, and just changed the subject and talked about the rune horses in the paddock.

Connor listened for a moment, feeling a little bored, and began to look at the other things in the cabin.

Inadvertently, she saw a large wooden box under Hagrid's bed, and there was a slight crackling sound coming from inside, as if something was there.

"Hagrid, what's in there...... Conor asked curiously, "Does it have anything to do with the Triwizard Tournament?" ”

"What?" Hagrid turned his head and smiled, "Of course not, but I think they're just as pretty as the big guy in the project." ”

"Pretty big guy?" Kyle raised an eyebrow, feeling like he had discovered a hidden message.

The only things that Hagrid can describe as beautiful are those magical creatures with fangs and claws.

But Hagrid didn't notice that he had slipped out, and he had now stood up and carried the box out from under the bed.

"The little one who was born yesterday." Hagrid excitedly opened the box and placed it in front of Kyle and Connor.

Connor's face began to turn white quickly and visibly, and her body subconsciously leaned back, wanting to stay away from the box in front of her.

There was a group of grayish-white, slimy stuff. It looks like a big lobster with its shell removed, and it looks like some kind of slug with legs.

And their tails would spew sparks from time to time, and all Connor heard was the sound of sparks crashing into the box.

"What the hell is this?" Connor's face turned pale.

She felt that compared to this thing, the Phelobert caterpillar could be called clear-eyed.

"Fried tail snails, my name." "I'm going to do a big project and put the students in charge of raising them." ”

Connor's face changed again.

She obviously didn't think it was a good idea, but she didn't know how to convince Hagrid to give up on it, so she looked at Kyle for help.

"Okay......" Kyle nodded, "Hagrid, are you sure you want to do that?" ”

"What?" Hagrid looked away from the whelch, "Sure, don't you think it's a great thing to achieve...... I can watch a little guy grow up with my own eyes. ”

"I understand your thoughts." "But I only have one problem...... It's a newly bred fantastic animal, right, I've never seen them before. ”

"That's right." Hagrid said proudly, "This is the offspring of the Sphinx and the Fire Crab." ”

"Good, new species." Kyle said, "You won't forget, my dad was one of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament, and he'll be coming to Hogwarts a lot this year. ”

"Of course I know, but what does this have ......to do with the snail," Hagrid was stunned in the middle of his sentence.

He then remembered that Chris was the deputy ...... of the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control No, Director, it's all about magical beasts, and refereeing is just a side hustle.

And because of the snake-body swallow-tailed beast incident a few years ago, he has been called to the Ministry of Magic many times.

This time, the fried tail snail is obviously the same as the snake-body swallow-tailed beast, which is illegal.

"This ...... Well...... Actually......" Hagrid looked at Kyle and said hesitantly, "I, I just put it together...... Didn't want ...... It's all a coincidence. ”

"I can keep it a secret for you." Kyle said, "But I don't know what happened to the others, and if someone accidentally slipped through and my dad overheard them while they were talking about the snails, then there was nothing I could do......"

Hagrid's face was tangled.

He's been looking forward to a big project for a long time, and he's going to give up a lot?

"And." Kyle continued, "Even if you want to introduce the snails to everyone, but before you do that, I think it's better to figure out their habits first.

Don't forget that they're related to sphinx-tails, so they won't be very docile, and you don't want to see a student get hurt in your class. ”

"Of course not!" Hagrid blurted out.

was discovered by Chris, plus there may have been students injured as a result...... Kyle's words helped him make up his mind.

After a moment's hesitation, Hagrid stumbled the boxes back under the bed, dismissing the idea of carrying them to class.

Seeing this, Connor also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Thankfully, they were able to have a normal lesson on protecting magical creatures after that.
