The man behind Hogwarts

dong dong dong.

Hagrid knocked on the principal's door with the eight captured red giant wasps.

"Principal, all the Red Giant Bees have been captured, and they are all here."

Dumbledore kindly asked Hagrid to sit down and served him mead, which he knew Hagrid liked to drink.

He took what Hagrid handed him.

A wooden box with several holes in it, and a tightly tied red giant bee.

"Why is the wooden box broken?"

Dumbledore was surprised that the wooden box had been cast a traceless stretching spell. If the wooden box was broken, wouldn't it mean that the spell would also be invalid?

Hagrid rubbed his hands and said: "It was stung by this giant red bee, but fortunately it is not completely damaged and can still be used."

"There are seven red giant bees in the wooden box. Adding this one, there are eight in total. That should be all the red giant bees."

Open the wooden box.

Dumbledore sensed it and confirmed that the Traceless Stretch Spell was still in effect and that there were indeed seven red giant wasps inside.

At this time, the seven giant red bees were flying aimlessly in the different space.

Look at the one outside again.

This single red giant wasp was wrapped in several layers of fur, leaving no room for movement.

It is not dead yet, it is making a low cry from its mouth, and the exposed head is as big as a bottle cap, looking a bit ferocious.

"What's going on?" Dumbledore looked at Hagrid: "Did this single red giant bee emerge from the hole?"

He always had a sense of humor and had fun talking to Hagrid.

"It's like this..."

Hearing his inquiry, Hagrid told him what he had already prepared: "In the end, this giant red bee did not fly into the wooden box, but came to attack me. As a result, I knocked him unconscious with a palm and tied him up. "

This was the confession he and William had agreed upon.

If there wasn't the last red giant wasp, he could just hand the wooden box to Dumbledore.

But if there is more than this, I can only find a good excuse, but I have to take William's hair out.

As he said that, Hagrid blushed slightly.

At that time, I was stung by a needle from the giant red bee and was stunned. Not to mention being knocked out by a palm. If William hadn't been there, it might have punctured the wooden box.

Dumbledore listened silently, his eyebrows raised unconsciously.

After taking one look at Hagrid's expression, he laughed secretly.

Hagrid, who was least used to lying, met Dumbledore, who understood people's hearts best. He was like a louse on a bald man's head, too upright.

"That's it in the end. Fortunately, I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it's okay even if I get two needles from it."

"If it damages the wooden box, it will be troublesome."

Dumbledore nodded: "Yes, this process is really dangerous!"

After explaining the process, Hagrid gave him a guilty look.

Seeing that he didn't question it, I felt relieved and quickly changed the subject: "Principal, what are we going to do with these giant red bees next?"

"Give it to the Ministry of Magic."

"Ah, leave it to the Ministry of Magic." Hagrid was a little disappointed and thought to himself: "I really want to raise him."

Creatures like the red giant wasp are very rare, and even he has never seen them before.

When Hagrid suddenly encountered such a good thing, his first thought was to keep it in the Forbidden Forest, but he knew that this would definitely not work.

The Red Giant Bee is different from its other pets.

First of all, the Red Giant Bee can fly, and it may fly into the castle and hurt people at any time.

Secondly, the red giant wasp was not raised by itself, and it does not listen to itself.

Ugh.

To miss is to miss.

"Hey, why don't you wait until the red giant wasp gives birth to its cubs before sending them away..."

"Send away the mature Red Giant Bee and let me raise the cubs in the Forbidden Forest."

This idea made Hagrid happy, so he could do both without delay.

He whispered: "Headmaster, when are you going to hand them over to the Ministry of Magic? How about waiting for a while?"

Dumbledore looked at him, his crystal eyes seeming to ask why.

"It's, it's..."

Dumbledore saw Hagrid mumbling and couldn't speak. After thinking about it for a moment, he probably understood what he was thinking. He thought that Hagrid was reluctant to part with the red giant bee and wanted to raise it himself.

But this is not possible.

He said in a deep voice: "Hagrid, the red giant bees cannot be artificially fed. They have very vicious personalities and are too harmful to the students. They cannot be raised by you."

Hagrid waved his hands hurriedly: "No, no, principal, I don't want to raise them.

I just want to wait for them to give birth to cubs and then raise them. "

Hearing this, Dumbledore pondered for a moment.

He was generally aware of Hagrid's behavior in keeping pets, and also knew that he liked to keep some rare and dangerous animals.

The reason why he didn't stop him was because Hagrid was really good at raising animals. No matter what kind of vicious animals he raised, he could raise them very obediently.

For example, the three-headed dog named Lu Wei.

Although the three-headed dog is also a very vicious animal, it is also very obedient under Hagrid's upbringing.

But...if it's a red giant bee...

After thinking about it for a while, Dumbledore still shook his head: "Hagrid, the Red Giant Bee cannot be kept in the Forbidden Forest."

“Not only are they creatures with a group consciousness, but they also have no sense of territory and move around anytime and anywhere. No one can grasp their patterns of action. Even if you raise a few, they will not listen to you but follow the group consciousness.

Once the red giant bee breaks out of the Forbidden Forest, it might kill the little wizard or even suck his blood.

They are destined not to be artificially fed,"

In the end, Hagrid rejected Hagrid's idea.

Although he could condone some of Hagrid's behaviors, he had to keep them under control.

"Okay." Hagrid sighed, then forced a smile: "Okay Headmaster, give them to the Ministry of Magic."

"Don't worry about the red giant wasps, they'll be fine."

Dumbledore said: "The Department for the Management of Magical Creatures has been looking for traces of the red giant wasps for a long time. We can't help but not harm them. Instead, we will find a good way to deal with the red giant wasps."

Hagrid nodded.

Hopefully they won't use the Red Giant Bee as a potion ingredient.

"William, let's go, it's time for class."

"Well, let's go."

William walked into the castle surrounded by several Ravenclaw eaglets.

William spends most of his time busy in the Gem Club, either studying on his own, studying magic, or studying enchantment...

But he always sets aside some time for the classmates around him.

Since entering school, I have known more than a hundred wizards.

Even the number of wizards who have had conversations and physical contact exceeds a hundred.

but.

The system still hasn't given any qualifying rewards.

"Know a hundred wizards, reward..."

"Communicate with a hundred wizards, reward..."

"Have physical contact with a hundred wizards, reward..."

Unfortunately, none.

Not only is there no reward in this aspect, there is no reward even for answering a hundred times in class, raising one's hand a hundred times, reading a hundred magic books, etc.

Although he was a little disappointed not to receive a reward, William still maintained this habit and always set aside some time to manage interpersonal relationships.
