Dynavale and Hogwarts

After a nap, Dana made up his mind to find Professor Kettleburn.

Dana had thought about how to approach the professor for a long time. Do you want to introduce these two people through Professor Sprout? A herbal medicine and a magical animal. They both belong to the natural department. They should have a good relationship.

It should also work through Professor McGonagall. From the point of view of transfiguration, Professor McGonagall also has a lot of research on animals and is the vice principal, so it should have a positive effect.

But in the end Dana overturned these ideas.

On the one hand, he was afraid that Professor Sprout and Professor McGonagall would think he was too ambitious, but on the other hand, he always felt that Kettleburn preferred to meet directly.

I heard that he is a person who loves animals from the bottom of his heart. Usually this kind of person has a simple mind and likes to be straightforward.

Dana made up his mind and walked towards the Forbidden Forest. Although I don’t know exactly where I live, isn’t there Hagrid? Just ask him. He should live in a hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Finding the hut, Dana knocked on Hagrid's door. A dog barked from behind the door, and Hagrid's voice could be heard: "Back, Fang, come back."

The door opened, revealing a small mountain-like figure. Dana looked up hard to see the bearded face. Dana simply took a few steps back.

Hagrid's eyes were warm and he asked Dana: "What's the matter with you?"

Dana replied: "Hello Mr. Haig. I am Dana Ware. I would like to ask you if you know where Professor Kettleburn lives."

Hagrid smiled: "Of course, just wait a moment, I just want to go to the Forbidden Forest." Then he winked at Dana: "You will be surprised where he lives."

Without waiting for Dana's answer, he turned back to the hut. After a while, Dana saw Hagrid carrying a bow and arrows and leading Fang out.

Dana was panting and trotting, trying to keep up with Hagrid's pace. Neither of them knew what to say, so they walked awkwardly for a while.

Fortunately, the journey was not long. Hagrid walked to a big tree in a remote corner of the Forbidden Forest and shouted loudly into the tree: "Professor, Professor"

A human face appeared among the withered leaves.

Hagrid said loudly: "Professor, this child is looking for you. I want to come to the Forbidden Forest, so I brought him here."

The face glanced at Dana and said to Hagrid: "Thank you, Rubeus. Let him come up by himself. By the way, I went to the Forbidden Forest to help find the unicorn's tail hair. Ollivander urged me several times. Times."

Hagrid responded and led Fang to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. That face disappeared too.

Dana looked dumbfounded at the big tree, thinking to himself that he had never climbed a tree before in this life. You said, why did Hagrid just walk away? Looking at the height of the face just now, he could have lifted himself up with just one lift of his arms.

Dana carefully considered the magic he had learned recently. It seemed that there was no magic that could make him fly. It would be great if he had a broomstick. He used the Flying Charm to summon one. Unfortunately, he didn't know where the broomsticks were stored in the school.

Suddenly, Dana slapped his head. He had been practicing magic spells too much recently, and he had even forgotten the transformation technique that he was good at. Dana visualized the ladder in his mind and then "duplicated it into pairs." For inanimate objects, this spell is still very useful.

After setting up the ladder, Dana climbed to a tree branch. There is a pretty big bird's nest-like thing there. While Dana was hesitating, the professor's voice came from inside: "Why don't you come in?"

Dana crawled toward the bird's nest. The closer he got, the more he felt that the bird's nest was getting bigger. Until he saw a door. Standing by the door was an elderly man with short gray hair. His face, hands, and an exposed arm were All have scars.

According to rumors, only one of his arms and half of his legs are original.

Withdrawing his probing eyes, Dana hurriedly stepped forward and introduced himself: "Professor, I am Dana Vale, a first-year student at Hufflepuff."

The old man nodded and led Dana towards the door.

After entering, Dana was a little surprised. This was a very decent living room.

"This house is the latest product of the Alchemy Workshop. Most of my savings have been spent on it." The professor explained: "But as I get older, my body can't stand it when I live in the open air like before."

After both parties sat down, Dana took out a prepared can of green tea and handed it to the professor.

"This is Chinese green tea. It tastes different from British black tea. You can try it."

The professor nodded and waved his magic wand, and a tea set and a pot of hot water appeared on the coffee table. The professor motioned to Dana to start making tea.

Dana also took out his wand and while making tea, explained: "Chinese tea ceremony is very complicated, and I don't know how to make tea. Let's make tea according to their usual method."

Dana found it very difficult to speak and cast spells at the same time. However, the tea is ready. After waiting for a moment, he poured the brewed tea into the cup and pushed it to the professor.

Professor Kettleburn picked up the cup, took a sip, and thought about it: "This tea has a rich aftertaste."

Then he looked at Dana with a smile: "You came here to invite me to tea, right?"

Dana also smiled and shook his head: "I am more interested in the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. But students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest. So I think if you enter the Forbidden Forest under the guidance or permission of the professor, there will be no problem. .”

Dana feels that it is better to tell the truth to older people. As people mature, it is better to be open and honest from the beginning than to cover up.

The professor neither agreed nor refused, and asked: "Why should I help you?"

Dana tentatively replied: "Because we are both Hufflepuffs and we all like magical creatures."

The professor laughed and said, "It seems that they are asking about me a lot behind my back. Okay, if you want to go to the Forbidden Forest in the future, come here on Saturday morning."

Then he added seriously: "However, if you disobey my command even once, you will never enter the Forbidden Forest again."

Dana was a little surprised, thinking that he would have to grind a few more times to get approval. Unexpectedly, it was successful in just one try

Perhaps seeing the doubts behind Dana's joy, the professor explained: "I heard Professor McGonagall and Professor Sprout mention you, and they spoke highly of you. I also examined your magic level before, and... good.

"I'll take you into the Forbidden Forest so you can protect yourself and won't be a burden."

"Well, he's really direct in his words." Dana thought, "After all, I still borrowed the help of the two professors."

When we parted, the professor told Dana again: "Don't tell your classmates about my residence and your ability to enter the Forbidden Forest. Otherwise, they will all come, and my old arms and legs can't take care of them."

Dana was very happy on the way back. The sooner you can enter the Forbidden Forest and come into contact with magical animals, the sooner you can be prepared. Of course, whether the subsequent plans can proceed smoothly still requires more planning.

In fact, there are still many troublesome things later, such as the Acromantula Hagrid kept in the Forbidden Forest, which is very damaging to the ecology; most centaurs are not friendly to wizards; most magical animals are dangerous to humans, so what? live in peace

But it’s not terrible to have problems, as long as they are solved one by one.
