Hogwarts: Harry Potter and the Glock 18.

Chapter 25 The Forbidden Forest

"Well, a horn bow that can't be pulled without half a ton of strength, a dozen arm-thin armor-piercing arrows with blood grooves and barbs, and a logging ax that I can't even lift."

"Hagrid!"

Looking at Hagrid who was packing his equipment in front of him, Harry stared at him in horror.

"Are you sure we're not attacking some secret fortress in the Forbidden Forest, or simply slaying dragons?"

"These things are foul! Why are you taking me into the woods?"

Although in the "original book", the Forbidden Forest did not show anything particularly dangerous, but after seeing Grindelwald come to Hogwarts to teach the Dark Magic Defense, and the Triwizard Tournament was just held last year, Animagus can make people After becoming a cat and cat superman wearing a mecha, Harry will never simply think that the Forbidden Forest will remain unchanged.

"Oh, these?"

After backing the bow and putting the arrow in the bag, Hagrid waved his hand, "I'll use this later, Professor Grindelwald asked me to grab some little guys for him to use as class materials. A small group of giant ogre monsters came here, and that guy was so sticky and disgusting that I didn't want to get punched, so I just nailed it to the ground with an arrow and dragged it away. "

"But I won't take you to find them. You've just started learning magic, you can't deal with those dangerous guys, and your fists aren't hard enough."

Hagrid chuckled, and then pointed to the wooden shelf in the corner, "Just take that long brush, the cutie I want to show you is not dangerous, don't worry, Harry. "

"That's it." Although he was relieved in his heart, but at the same time, Harry also felt a little regretful, "Hagrid, what are you talking about the giant ogre?"

"A strange thing that looks like a giant. The guy has no hands, but has foot-long claws. The body is covered with a layer of thick hair, but when pinched, oily, sticky and disgusting, because someone is far away. I have witnessed them eating people, so they are called ogres, but who knows."

Hagrid spread his hands, "I've seen these guys pluck water and grass from the ditch to eat. In fact, they are quite safe in the woods. Apart from being unable to communicate, I don't think it's okay for them. There are ten researchers from the Ministry of Magic. Nine and a half of them are a group of idiots who haven't drilled through the woods. Professor Kettleburn said it is really good. Since Mr. Newt Scamander left, apart from the beheading executioners in the Department of Magical Creatures Management, It's just a bunch of garbage waiting to rot and stink."

"Let's not talk about the giant ogre, right? Let's get two rabbits or ferrets to take with you. If there are gifts, those little guys will talk better. After all, it's your first time to meet them. "

After casually fixing the huge logging ax on his back, Hagrid grabbed a small ax and put it in his pocket. Looking at the black blood stains on the ax blade, he reckoned that Hagrid had often used it for hunting.

"You really know something about magical creatures, Hagrid." Harry, who followed Hagrid's footsteps out the door, couldn't help but said, "To be honest, you are more powerful than any wizard I have ever met, not just fists."

"Ha~" Hagrid grinned, "I just stayed in the woods for a long time, and the more I saw, the more I knew. If you asked me to use some magic, then I would be far behind. .”

Hagrid murmured in a low voice, "But the Ministry of Magic won't allow me to cast spells either."

"why?"

"Oh, nothing, some old stories."

Hagrid waved his hands and grunted, he didn't really want to talk about it.

After walking along the Forbidden Forest for only a few minutes, the sound of running water could be heard from a distance, but Harry couldn't see the location of the stream because of the forest blocking it.

"It's almost here." Hagrid raised his finger to signal Harry to be quiet, then walked a few steps forward lightly, and took out the small ax that was in his pocket before and held it in his hand.

After holding his breath for five or six minutes, Harry saw Hagrid suddenly raised his hand, and threw four or five axes with astonishing speed, only to hear a few muffled sounds of "dodododo", and a burst of panic The voice came from the front.

"I got two, and that's about enough."

After Hagrid stretched out his paws and pulled away the dense thorns that were as tall as a person in front of him, the hidden stream in the distance was exposed in Harry's field of vision, and two black, brown and white ferrets were nailed to death by a small axe. On moist land near streams.

"Ferrets are Hippogriff's favorite. Ugh. I guess I slipped up. Hahahaha."

Hagrid, who felt something was wrong halfway through the speech, scratched his hair awkwardly, "But you'll know later, it's okay to say something earlier."

"They're a pretty bunch of ponies, Harry."

Now that I have missed it, let's just say more and change the subject to ease the embarrassment.

"These ponies have the head of an eagle, the body of a horse, and the two wings spread out nearly seven meters. Many wizards like to ride them to fly in the sky. Apart from thestrals, they are the best flying companions. They are a bit slow, and have a bit of arrogance. Ordinary wizards are not easy to tame, but as long as you learn to respect them, hippogriffs are easy to talk to."

"Bring your ferret, I will teach you how to greet him later. I have just tamed this group of little guys. It was originally a small group, but after I got a few griffins back Afterwards, they multiplied several times, and these guys are hybrids of griffins and horses, and it happens that there are many beautiful wild horses in the Forbidden Forest, just on the grassland to the east of the forest."

"The front claws of the vast majority of hippogriffs are eagle claws. If you see the front claws of lion claws, you must try to tame them if you have a chance."

"Is there any difference?" Harry asked with some doubts, squatting down and using hemp rope to tie up the ferret on the ground.

"Because the front claws are lion's claws, they are not hippogriffs. Although they are also hybrids of griffins and horses, they have a new name, griffins."

"The biggest difference between the griffin and the hippogriff is that the former has no flying wings, while the griffin has powerful wings and perfectly inherits the powerful power of the griffin. "

"They are powerful creatures that can fight fire dragons in the sky. Their steel wings are both flying wings and sharp blades. When they flap their wings, the flashing storm can cut through the scales of fire dragons, and even bathed in dragon blood, devouring After the dragon heart, they will advance to the more powerful dragon blood griffin, and the lower body without feathers will grow dragon scales to make up for the last shortcoming."

Hagrid's interest was especially high when something involved dragons.

"I've always thought that fire dragons are the most fascinating magical creatures in the world, none of them! But Griffin can actually fly in the sky—"

Hagrid, who was expressing his emotions loudly, suddenly closed his mouth, his eyes looked at the stream in the distance, with a look of guard.

"What's the matter, Hagrid?"

"Something is coming, listen carefully, the footsteps are very chaotic, it is a humanoid creature, and there are at least four or five of them, what are they chasing—"

"Damn! Why are you two bastards here!!!"
