Chapter 59: Your Bird Is Gone!
At the edge of the Forbidden Forest, outside Hagrid's hut.
Hagrid held the letter from the owl with a look of incredulity:
"I can't believe Dumbledore actually agreed to your request?"
That's a werewolf! The scariest fantastic beasts!
Neither as friendly as Aragog nor as obedient as Lowe, wasn't Dumbledore afraid of these werewolves storming the castle and hurting the students?
"Hagrid."
Ash saw the confusion on Hagrid's face and reminded:
"This is Dumbledore's handwritten letter."
Hagrid scratched his messy hair and shouted to himself:
"Okay, okay, I'm not going to worry about those werewolves anymore!"
As he spoke, he muttered again:
"Dumbledore is responsible for the accident anyway."
He looked into the forest not far away, and could vaguely see the werewolves gathering. They take the carcasses of the hunted elk to the clearing, and the house-elves bring them cooked treats and bring them to the Hogwarts kitchen to be processed into ingredients.
Ash suddenly asked:
"Hagrid, when will your eggs hatch?"
Hagrid mumbled:
"It should be in these two months."
"Should?"
Hagrid's face was hung in Hagrid's face with suspicion from Ash, and he explained, somewhat embarrassed:
"It's actually my first time, so I don't have a lot of experience. Generally speaking, though, this doesn't take too long. However, as long as the eggs are laid, they will hatch within 24 hours. ”
Ash asked:
"What about after the shell? Where are you going to keep it? Forbidden Forest? ”
Hagrid said with a serious expression: "No, it's too small to support itself on its own, I have to take care of it for two years first!" ”
"Do you have a way to make sure it doesn't go undetected for two years?"
In the face of Ash's constant questioning, Hagrid gradually ran out of words.
His house was that big, and it was right next to Hogwarts.
The Thunderbird was fine when he was a child, but when he grew up, his size couldn't be hidden at all!
And if Hagrid is found secretly raising Thunderbirds, he may not be expelled, but Thunderbirds will definitely be sent away.
Hagrid scratched his head anxiously with his beloved little pink umbrella, but he couldn't find a good solution, so he could only say in an urn voice:
"I'm not going to let it be discovered!"
The breeze is blowing, and there seems to be a faint excitement in the whistling wind, like a girl's coquettish voice:
"Ash! Hagrid! ”
Well, it's not like, it's just someone calling his name.
Ash looked up at the horizon, where Harley and Kassandra were riding broomsticks, one after the other.
Hagrid, who was still worried about how to hide the Thunderbird, suddenly stood up and said in disbelief:
"Hallie?! How did you end up in heaven? I mean, who allowed you to ride broomsticks?! ”
Didn't he remember that the first grade hadn't started to learn how to use a broomstick?
Last Thursday was a rainy day, and the flying lesson didn't work out at all!
So who taught them to fly? Where did their broomsticks come from?
Harley landed in the open space in front of the hut and grabbed a broom to Ash.
Hearing Hagrid's inquiry, she explained:
"It's Professor Snape, who just taught us how to fly, and gave each of us a broomstick."
She held up her broom so that Hagrid could see the big golden letters.
"Halo 2000?"
Hagrid exclaimed, "When did Snape become so generous?" ”
Hallie was a little puzzled:
"Is Professor Snape stingy?"
"Stingy, of course."
Hagrid muttered:
"The last time I asked him to lend me some money to buy three heads, he refused to agree."
"Lou Wei?"
Harley was a little puzzled, all she knew was that Hagrid's black hound was called Tooth, and who was Louwe? Why three heads?
"I can't say!"
Hagrid realized that he had leaked his mouth, and subconsciously tried to remedy it, warning: "Don't ask, this is Secret No. 1, understand?" ”
"Three light wheels 2000, 1800 Galleons."
"It's you, Professor Snape."
Ash also expressed his admiration for Professor Snape in his heart, an ordinary wizard earns only 10 Galleons a week, and even if he doesn't eat or drink for a whole year, he can't afford to buy a light wheel for 2,000, and Snape gives three handfuls, which is not a lot of money.
As for Snape's doting on Hallie, no matter how hard he tried, he might even be able to kill Voldemort!
"Ash."
Kassandra's eyes were a little show-off, and she asked excitedly:
"Professor Snape said he would make an exception for us to try out for the Slytherin Quidditch team next week!"
"It's amazing."
Ash genuinely approving:
"This year's Quidditch, Slytherin may win the championship."
Kassandra's white chin was raised, and Ash's praise was quite useful.
Ash looked behind Kassandra and asked, confused:
"Where's Hermione?"
Kassandra sighed imperceptibly, and pointed to the ground not far away.
Hermione was there, and she flew very low, only two or three meters above the ground, apparently afraid of falling off her broomstick. Coupled with the fact that her vision was blocked, Ash didn't find her in the first place.
It was a long time before Hermione slowly flew to their side with her broom in her grip.
Hermione grimaced and warned:
"Hallie, Kassandra, you're going to be criticized by the professor for flying like this!"
Hallie blinked and asked:
"But didn't Professor Snape say to fly casually?"
Hermione said with some annoyance:
"But you're so messy! Even the upperclassmen don't fly as fast as you, do you know how worried I am? What should I do if I fall off? ”
Hallie thought about it carefully and found that it was indeed wrong for her, and said sincerely:
"I'm sorry, Hermione."
Her admission of mistake made Hermione a little unsure of what to say.
It's not to be angry, it's not to be angry.
And just then, Ash suddenly stepped forward and handed her a brown and yellow kitten.
Hermione's eyes were immediately drawn to the kitten, and at the same time she looked curiously and at the same time wondered what kind of cat it was, she had never seen it before.
Instead, Hagrid's eyes widened:
"Cats? Where did you get that? ”
These little guys run fast every time they see him, and they are not at all as obedient as Lu Wei!
"I asked Shirako to catch it for me."
Ash opened his mouth and prevaricated Hagrid, then shoved the kitten into the girl's arms, and asked with a chuckle:
"This is my gift to you, Hermione, do you like it?"
"I like it." Hermione took the kitten in surprise, her little blushing.
The little thing was snoring happily in her arms, very well-behaved.
Hallie was a little envious, but she already had Hedwig, so she wasn't that envious.
Kassandra was different, staring at Ash with no secret of her anticipation.
"Don't you have an owl?" Ash asked curiously.
"I don't care!"
Kassandra stomped her foot in exasperation, "Why don't I have a present?" ”
"Just kidding."
Ash smiled and touched the girl's head, and out of nowhere, he pulled out a purple ball with fluffy feathers and held it in both hands and gave it to the girl.
"Do you like it?"
"Hmph~ Normal! It doesn't feel as good as a unicorn. ”
Kassandra looked away arrogantly, but her body was honest enough to hold the ball bird tightly in her arms.
