All things are three at Hogwarts

Chapter 445 The Queen of Blast-Ended Skrewts (Modified)

Hermione walked slowly on the lawn. It was drizzling continuously and the sky was gray. Amidst the fine powdery crystal raindrops, Hermione walked across the grass. Her socks and the hem of her cloak were all wet.

The Forbidden Forest looks as if it has been enchanted. Every tree is shining with silver, as if it is covered with a layer of gauze. The raindrops slip from the leaves and fall on the hair of the little wizards, making them feel wet. I feel very uncomfortable.

And this discomfort turned into anxiety and worry when he heard low, throbbing moans coming from Hagrid's hut.

"Hagrid!" Hermione shouted, banging on the door. "Hagrid, are you in there?"

There was a sound of heavy footsteps, and the door creaked open.Hagrid stood there, eyes red and swollen, tears patting the front of his leather vest.

"Why are you here so early?" Hagrid leaned against the door, took out a large handkerchief, and wiped his face randomly.

"The weather is bad, I want to come here early to get a good seat." Hermione said, asking repeatedly, "What happened?"

"Ara... Gok..." As he said that, Hagrid started sobbing again.

Hermione quickly took hold of Hagrid's arm and helped him back into the house.

Hagrid slumped down on a chair and began to cry uncontrollably. Tears were streaming down his face. He noticed Hermione's gaze and put his face into his hands.

"Hagrid..." Hermione understood, and patted Hagrid's arm sympathetically.

"Aragog," Hagrid kept wiping his eyes, "it's gone! Not only it, all the Acromantulas are gone. I should have thought of it, I should have noticed it, he obviously reminded me Damn, I didn’t find anything! My Aragog!”

Hagrid let out a bestial whimper and wiped his eyes with his sleeve.

Hermione went to bring Hagrid a cup of steaming tea and put it on the table in front of Hagrid. She didn't know how to comfort him for a moment.

"It will make you feel better if you have a cup of tea and calm down. There will be classes soon. It might not be good for everyone to see the professor like this." Hermione wanted to divert Hagrid's attention.

"I haven't been normal recently," Hagrid stroked his teeth with one hand and wiped his face with the other hand. "I'm worried about Aragog, and no one likes my class."

"I like it." Hermione lied immediately.

Hagrid was silent for a while and then stood up: "You are right, Hermione, let's go see the Blast-Ended Skrewts. They have been growing very well recently."

Hermione followed Hagrid silently and helped him close the door to the room.

Blast-tailed snails do grow quickly, although no one knows exactly what they like to eat.

Hermione noticed that Hagrid felt much better when he saw the Blast-Ended Skrewt. It was obvious that he loved these creatures that were hated by young wizards from the bottom of his heart.

"I recommend that you come to my cabin every other day to observe the Blast-Ended Skrewts and record their unusual behavior."

"I won't come," Draco Malfoy said unequivocally when Hagrid suggested it with the air of Santa Claus pulling an oversized toy from his pocket, "I've had enough of this in class. Something, thank you.”

The smile faded from Hagrid's face.

"Do as I say," he growled, "your final grade is at stake."

The little wizards were shocked by the success. It was as if they realized for the first time that the big man in front of them was not only a gamekeeper and a key keeper, but also a real professor who held their final grades.

So in the subsequent groupings, they all obediently obeyed Hagrid's assignment.

More than anyone else is afraid of an angry big man. Harry was relieved that Hagrid was finally starting to look a bit like a professor.

While Hermione was happy for Hagrid, she couldn't help but complain in her heart: "It would be better if the object of observation was not this annoying Blast-Ended Skrewt."

When Hermione put a bunch of cabbage mixed with a bunch of minced meat made of unknown meat into a cardboard box, and walked to the area of ​​​​the snails to lure a few over, all the squids in the entire enclosure were They all became restless and rushed towards Hermione's direction.

The two largest ones, in particular, squeezed out all the others and got in front of Hermione. They got entangled in a fight for the first position.

"Don't squeeze, don't fight." Seeing the two snails fighting fiercely and about to break out of the box, Hagrid stepped forward and separated the snails forcefully.

Hermione looked at the situation in front of her and silently retreated behind the crowd. She didn't want to tell others about the strange situation that had just happened here.

"It's really strange. They are my two favorites. I have never seen them fight so fiercely. Is this the breeding time again?" Hagrid scratched his head. He couldn't figure out the situation. "Exploded tail" Snails are bred from manticores and fire crabs, so their habits are difficult to control.”

Hearing this, Hermione blinked her eyes, feeling an ominous premonition in her heart.

That night, a figure with his head wrapped tightly in a scarf sneaked into the hunting ground.

When approaching Hagrid's hut, the figure turned into a manticore and approached the feeding area of ​​the blast-tailed snails with a low voice while walking on catwalks.

As soon as Hermione arrived, the Blast-Ended Skrewts rushed towards her like crazy. The two at the front actually started to attack each other in circles in order to compete for the first position. One of them even made a move. It is an attack action in which it supports its body with its front legs and then throws its fire-breathing tail.

Hermione hurriedly lowered her voice and tried to pass on these thoughts: "Stop, stop fighting.

The snails that were still fighting for position just now miraculously quieted down. Although they didn't leave, it was much better than the chaotic scene just now.

Hermione's worries became reality, but finally no more chaos was caused. Hermione glanced nervously in the direction of Hagrid's hut and found that there was no movement from him. She secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the Blast-Ended Skrewts were coming from time to time. Hagrid was used to the noise on the ground.

With her last hope, she tried to command several blast-ended snails, and was disappointed to find that they all completed their tasks perfectly.

Hermione unconsciously swung her stinger-covered tail back and forth because of her irritability. Although she had previously felt that it was a bit pitiful that the Acromantula was enslaved by gems and had to "volunteer" to be the target of soul-sucking, she still envied Penello very much. Animagus, like a spider queen who commands so many Acromantulas majestically.

Hermione had imagined that she could command so many monsters as her subordinates, and she would definitely train them much better than Penello's chaotic formation, but she never expected that her Animagus would really There is a similar ability, but the object is a disgusting-looking Explosive-Tailed Skrewt that even Hagrid himself can't think of a use for!

This must not be known to Allen and the others, otherwise the evil-minded Penello will definitely laugh at himself about this all the time, and then even nickname himself the Blast-Ended Skrewt Queen or something like that!

Thinking of this, Hermione couldn't help but let out a sad sigh, "Ouch!" As a result, due to the unfamiliarity with the new way of vocalizing in this state, the sigh turned into a big roar.

Such movement finally alerted Hagrid. Hermione heard the sound of the wooden door of Hagrid's hut creaking open. She ran in the opposite direction of Hagrid's hut in a panic. After running a few steps, she remembered to release the transformation.

After returning to her human form, Hermione walked back, walking around the Explosive-Ended Skrewt Experimental Area towards the Forbidden Forest, preparing to reach a position where she could apparate before returning to school in another direction.

When Hermione approached the area where the squid was, the two largest squids fought restlessly. They fought more fiercely than ever before, and the two of them hugged and died together.

Hermione looked at the snails that were turning into ashes and raised the wand in her hand in surprise. She discovered that the souls of the two snails that had just died were automatically absorbed by her wand. Hearing Hagrid's footsteps, Hermione had no time to investigate carefully and walked away.

Hagrid came to the area of ​​the Blast-Ended Skrewt, looked around the surroundings with vigilance, then leaned down and discovered the huge monster footprints left by Hermione when she was in the Animagus state among the messy little wizard's shoe prints.

"Is it a manticore, sneaking over so far to see its offspring?" Hagrid took out his big handkerchief and wiped his wet eyes, and couldn't help but start sobbing: "I knew it. It has a good nature, and it didn’t try to attack me secretly with its thorns when I came back this time.”
