Hogwarts Rising Again

Chapter 39 Hagrid
On Sunday, Hagrid invited Lily and Hugo to visit, and they asked Maureen to come with them.Hagrid's hut was made of rocks, crooked, with some big pumpkins planted at the door, each pumpkin was as tall as a man, and there was a small livestock farm behind, with some roosters and other strange and magical animals.

When they passed, Hagrid was feeding a two-headed salamander with a bloody thigh. The salamander had two heads, but instead of a tail, there was a head, and the two heads were fighting desperately. food.

"Very interesting little guy. Two-headed salamanders are not common. They are part of the third grade class." Hagrid stretched out his big hand to wash the blood away in the water tank.

The little guy Hagrid was talking about was two meters long, red all over, and spouted flames to roast food.

Hugo and Lily looked at each other, and they couldn't see anything cute about this terrifying fire-breathing "two-meter little guy" in their eyes.

"Harry wrote to ask me to help keep an eye on the two of you, so how are you doing at school?" Hagrid tied the two-headed salamander tight, and closed the fence.

"It should be fine!" Hugo looked at the wooden fence uncertainly, wondering whether this fragile wooden fence could lock the fire-breathing two-meter guy.

"Oh, you also brought friends, I know you, Maureen, right? The Daily Prophet published a child who used a wand to pick up wanted criminals, well done!" Hagrid laughed.

Mo Lin said politely: "That's my luck, the words of the Daily Prophet are not credible."

"Anyway, that Puri was caught because of you." Hagrid strode over to a huge rock, where there was a box, and he opened the box, which contained some biscuits: "Try yesterday, I sent a copy to Harry and the others."

Hugo and Lily looked at each other, trying hard to pretend to love food.Mo Lin also grabbed a piece of rock skin pie. He tried to take a bite, but he never wanted to take a second bite, because the first bite didn't work.

"Hagrid never knew that we hated rock cakes. He used to send them to us often. When I ate them for the first time, my teeth fell out. Fortunately, I just changed my teeth at that time." Hugo took advantage of Hagrid's turning away. When taking the shovel, whispered to Mo Lin.

"Can't you tell him directly?" Mo Lin pretended to be eating the rock cake in his hand.

Lily spread her hands: "Because of the incident 21 years ago, he became sentimental. Many people he knew passed away, so my parents decided that no matter what he gave, they couldn't say bad things."

Mo Lin couldn't bite the rock cake, so he simply gave it to Doi who was on his shoulder, only to find that Doi could easily eat a whole piece of rock cake.

"By the way, you guys came just in time to help me. I need to go to the Forbidden Forest to feed hippogriffs. Can you help me carry these feeds?" Hagrid already had two big bags in his hand, There is also a relatively small bag on the ground.

"What is this?" Hugo saw that the bag was open, and opened a crack to take a look, and soon he turned his head away in disgust.

"Damn rat," Hagrid hummed.

The bag contained an unknown number of dead mice, and none of the three of them could move it. Finally, Maureen drew out his wand and said, "Light as a feather." The luggage became as light as a feather, but at least it lost some weight. In the end, the three of them could barely lift the bag of dead mice.

"For such a heavy thing, my shape-shifting spell can't work." Mo Lin said helplessly.

By the time they carried the bag to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid was already taking care of the three hippogriffs. The three hippogriffs appeared to be a family of three, and Hagrid was stroking the youngest one. only, and gave them dead rats to eat.

"By the way, Hagrid, has anything strange happened in the Forbidden Forest recently?" Molin asked.

"Strange things happen in the Forbidden Forest every day. Of course, it may be strange to you, but it is normal to me. After all, there are many magical animals living in this forest. Yesterday, I and Fei Zelun rescued a person who was stuck by a branch. unicorn," said Hagrid casually.

Mo Lin thought for a while, and then asked, "Are there any tentacle monsters in the Forbidden Forest? It's something that is both a plant and an animal."

Hagrid stopped, frowning.

Mo Lin quickly added: "I happened to see the introduction of tentacle monsters when I was reading in the library yesterday, and I was wondering if there are also them in the Forbidden Forest."

Hugo and Lily also stopped to look at Hagrid quietly, because Maureen had told them both about Sweet's visit to the Forbidden Forest every morning, when Maureen also met the tentacle monster.

Hagrid said thoughtfully: "You said that, but I remembered that the traces of destruction in the woods these days really looked like tentacles, but I remember that tentacles would not come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, at least I haven't seen tentacle monsters in the Forbidden Forest yet, they are very vigilant and will not be found."

"There are no tentacle monsters in the Forbidden Forest? Are you sure?" Mo Lin asked in surprise.

"I've been at Hogwarts all my life, how can I be unsure." Hagrid stood up and tossed the dead rat to the hippogriff.

But Molin himself would not admit it wrong. He had read many books about magical animals before, and he remembered the appearance of the tentacle monster very clearly. After following Sweet to the Forbidden Forest that morning, he encountered the tentacle monster.

If Hagrid was right, where did the tentacle monster come from?

"Hagrid, what are the signs of destruction in the woods you just mentioned?" Molin asked again.

"Many trees have deep claw marks, many Bowtruckles have been injured, and some animals have been attacked inexplicably, I thought at first it was a water lion in the woods leaving its territory, because those claw marks are similar to water lions, but After you said that, I realized that it really looks like a tentacle monster." Hagrid said.

Water lions are ferocious animals. They generally live in ponds and swamps. They look similar to lions, except that they are blue all over and spray corrosive water.

The more Maureen thought about it, the more he couldn't understand. Hagrid had never seen tentacle monsters, but there were tentacle monsters moving in the Forbidden Forest. What's going on?

They said good-bye to Hagrid quickly and headed for the castle, Maureen thinking about it all the way.

"Maybe Sweet is a tentacle monster, maybe he is an Animagus that can turn into a tentacle monster, which would explain why he asked Professor Kane to turn people into animals and Animagus the other day The difference." Hugo guessed.

"Don't be stupid, use your brains, okay? It's impossible for a first-year student to turn into an animal. I think Sweet may have secretly raised a tentacle monster in the Forbidden Forest and came to see it every morning. said Lily.

"Impossible! The tentacle monster is so big, how could it be brought in secretly? Besides, only Hagrid can secretly keep pets in the Forbidden Forest. There is nothing in the Forbidden Forest that can't be hidden from Hagrid. I think Sweet is more likely to be a tentacle monster, you said? Maureen." Hugo still insisted on his point of view.

Maureen didn't answer, he felt that things were getting weirder.
