Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

Smoke came out of the chimney of Hagrid's hut again, and the hot firewood kept licking the dark bottom of the pot with tongues of flame. The water trapped in the pot couldn't bear the heat. They kept rolling and wrestling, making sounds. He yelled "Gululu" and was then rushed into the quilt to keep company with tea leaves.

The tea cup, which was almost like a small wine barrel, was placed on the table by Hagrid. The swirling water vapor filled the room with the aroma of tea.

Although Hagrid's house looks large from the outside, the interior space is not too spacious. After placing Hagrid's giant wooden bed and a large dining table, the remaining space is still occupied by several wooden cabinets. Even the corners were piled with messy sacks, and even the space above their heads was fully utilized and stuffed with many weird gadgets.

"Let's have a cup of tea. This is the first time I've seen Yaya behave so well. Generally speaking, whenever I have guests coming, Yaya will bark twice, probably pretending that he is looking after the house. "

Hagrid himself didn’t quite believe in Yaya’s idea of ​​being a housekeeper. After all, Yaya had too many previous convictions, and he could see rabbits and mice peeing all over the floor after being frightened by rabbits and mice that jumped out of the grass almost several times a week. It was really the best in the dog world. shame.

But it is also because of this that Hagrid can safely take Yaya with him. He needs a guy who looks a bit scary but actually poses no threat to help him 'persuade' some daring little wizards. If Yaya If it hurts people, that's trouble.

Although he was said bad words and short-changed in person, Yaya didn't take it to heart at all. At this moment, he was still squatting on the ground obediently. Without a moment of leisure, his tail almost swept away the wooden floor where his butt was. color.

"Thank you, Hagrid. The tea is very good. Did you grow it yourself?"

After tasting the fragrant hot tea, Rollo stretched out his hand and rubbed the fang's head and chatted with Hagrid.

"The centaurs gave it to me. I don't have much research on this thing, but the centaurs are very good at these things, especially the processing of herbal medicines. Their skills are very good."

Hagrid said cheerfully, not many people would come to his hut all year long, but now he was quite happy to have guests here.

"I remember you. You were the last child to attend the sorting ceremony last night, right?"

"Don't pay attention to that old hat's nonsense. There is no Azkaban in Hogwarts. It's not a good place there. Maybe it's been too long. Professor Dumbledore should repair the Sorting Hat. "

"I hope you don't care about those things. I mean...even if you enter Slytherin, not every Slytherin is a dark wizard."

"Of course not." Rollo shrugged and said he didn't care. "At the beginning, I had a little misunderstanding about Slytherin, but after going in, I found that it didn't seem to be what it said outside."

"Perhaps they only care about the results. Some people's unscrupulous means are seen in the eyes, and it becomes a stain on Slytherin."

"After all, it is always easier for people to remember your mistakes and subconsciously ignore your previous contributions."

"What you said seems to be right." Hagrid nodded, he actually agreed with this statement, "But why did you come here?"

Hagrid glanced at the clock on the wall, "Breakfast time isn't over yet, and you're running to the Forbidden Forest on the first day of school. Don't tell me that you want to sneak in too?"

The thick beard covered most of the expressions on Hagrid's face, but it was not difficult to see that he seemed to be sighing in frustration at this moment, "I spent half my life trying to drive those two Weasley boys out. , don’t be a bad learner like them.”

As he said that, Hagrid looked at Rollo with a stern look. Unfortunately, the lethality of his eyes was slightly lacking, not even one-tenth of Snape's.

"I'm quite interested in the Forbidden Forest, that's the truth."

"Merlin...why can't you let me worry less? You naughty little guys, the Forbidden Forest is very dangerous! Professor Dumbledore told you."

"Even the professors at Hogwarts need to be vigilant and careful when entering the Forbidden Forest. Otherwise, no one can guarantee that there won't be any big guys in the forest coming to trouble you."

"Two years ago... no, three years ago, the body of the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts that year was found in the Forbidden Forest. He was attacked by a five-legged monster. The only thing we found was that he was missing. The left hand of the finger, this is a real thing, don’t take it seriously.”

Hagrid, who was rubbing his eyebrows in distress, had a slight affection for Rollo, but if he became like the Weasley twins and wanted to go to the Forbidden Forest to have fun and die... Hagrid started to have a headache thinking about this. .

"What if I were with you?"

Rollo didn't intend to give up this idea. The thing he wanted to verify was none other than the Forbidden Forest, or rather the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

"I like magical creatures very much. Those cute and charming creatures can always bring us all kinds of surprises and happiness."

"You like them too, don't you, Hagrid?"

Holding the hot tea and blowing a breath, Rollo enjoyed the high-quality tea produced by the centaur. He liked the taste.

"Of course I like them, but this is still too dangerous for you."

Hagrid drank up his cup of tea in one gulp, and the tea leaves and water went into his stomach in one gulp. This is probably what happened when the cow chewed the peony.

"Although I can guarantee that I will not encounter dangers that I cannot deal with in the Forbidden Forest, you can't. Even the outermost area of ​​the Forbidden Forest, for a first-year little wizard, is no different than seeking death."

"More than a year ago, three chimaeras that migrated here came to the Forbidden Forest. These foreign guys were not very obedient and had a particularly bad temper. I have already taken care of two of them and let them stay here obediently. There is a very cunning one in the forest, and it keeps running away again and again. Maybe when you enter the forest, this guy will suddenly come out and eat you."

As if to scare Rollo, Hagrid showed an exaggerated expression, and his wide-open mouth really tasted like a bloody mouthful. Unfortunately, the tea leaves stuck between his teeth ruined the ferocious look.

"Just a curious question, Hagrid."

Luo Luo, who was not frightened and was even suppressing a smile, hugged Yaya's dog's head and rubbed it vigorously. The dog being massaged stuck out its tongue and squinted its eyes, enjoying it as much as it wanted.

"How did you get rid of the Chimaera? They have a bad reputation, and their tempers are also notoriously bad. So far, there seems to be no record of being tamed."

Rollo, who had read "Fantastic Creatures" thoroughly in his previous life, could not remember the contents of HP, but he would never misremember the various records of magical creatures.

"Of course I use this."

Hearing Rollo's words, Hagrid proudly raised his hands, showing off his arms that were thicker than a normal person's waist.

"It doesn't matter that they have three heads, but you only need to grab the middle one and beat it to death. I only need ten punches, and that guy will listen to me honestly. Even if he farts, he will have to see me. nod."

Hagrid, who made no secret of how he had 'tamed' those big guys, gave Rolo a full sense of security at this moment. With his iron fist and his crisp style, he was like the only super bodyguard in the Forbidden Forest. .

There are many magical creatures that do not accept education, because magical creatures generally crush ordinary life in nature in terms of IQ. Many of them have intelligence comparable to humans. They are even smarter than many people because of their age and lifespan. Better than that by several points.

In the magical world, the identity of a hunter is embarrassing, because sometimes, the ones who are fooled are often the so-called 'hunters'.

But Hagrid... is probably some kind of exception. After all, breaking through all the magic with one force and Lu Tiha beating Zhuge Liang to death with random punches is not something that can be done casually.

As a hybrid giant, Hagrid not only inherited the physique and super resistance of a giant, but also had a much smarter mind than a giant, and a spellcasting ability that was slightly inferior to that of a human wizard, even if it was broken due to a wrong judgment. wand, but that doesn't mean he really can't cast spells.

That seemingly ridiculous little pink umbrella can bring unexpected strength to Hagrid when necessary, even if he is just a Hogwarts graduate and doesn't perform very well when studying. outstanding.

"Then if I don't enter the Forbidden Forest..."

"That's one of the best things I've heard this year."

Hagrid spoke hurriedly, looking a little nervous for fear that Rollo would regret it. As the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, he really wanted to protect the children in the school.

"Can I meet some less dangerous magical creatures? I mean, Hagrid, can you take them to the edge of the Forbidden Forest? I just want to see them."

"You see, I seem to be quite talented in dealing with animals, right?"

Rollo patted the back of Yaya's head. The mastiff, who was addicted to the pleasure of being spanked, immediately put its front paws on the edge of the table and gave Hagrid an excited "woof" with an expression similar to a giggle. .

"You are such a good dog, Yaya."

Hagrid, who has been with Yaya day and night for so long, naturally understands what Yaya is saying to him. Yaya, who has transformed into Rollo's loyal dog, supports all of Rollo's actions without reservation. If it weren't for Yaya, he would not dare to enter the Forbidden Forest alone. Hagrid suspected that Ya Ya would be the leader and took the initiative to lead Rollo in.

Hagrid would have 1 objections to asking Hagrid to take Rollo to the Forbidden Forest, but if he just wanted to let the child take a look at the cuties he also likes very much...

"Hmm..." Hagrid murmured while stroking his beard, "That's not impossible. There are still many cute little guys in the Forbidden Forest. I can let you get to know them."

"But it must be kept secret. Don't let anyone know, especially the two Weasley twins."

"Of course Hagrid, but I'm a Slytherin. It's probably quite difficult to get to know the Weasley brothers, right?"

"I almost forgot." Hagrid patted his forehead, "I always thought that only Gryffindor's naughty kids would have the idea of ​​​​the Forbidden Forest. Maybe that hat really made a mistake."

Hagrid looked at Rollo deeply. In his heart, he always felt that Rollo should be assigned to Gryffindor. After all, that is the most noisy place in the school and the place where he loves to get into trouble.

"Okay, okay, I agree, but have you ever thought about what you want to see?"

Seeing that the tea in Rollo's cup was almost empty, Hagrid stood up and prepared to leave the room.

"What's in here?"

"Everything." Hagrid's interest became even higher when he talked about the little cutie he had taken care of.

"The Forbidden Forest is the area with the highest concentration of magical creatures in England. You can basically see them outside, and you can find them all here. Even some magical creatures from other places will live here."

"If you had come ten years earlier, there would even be thunderbirds in the Forbidden Forest. They originally lived in America, but they flew here for some reason, but they probably came here to hatch eggs. They stayed for three years and then left. Take their children with them.”

As he spoke, Hagrid raised his hand and groped on the ceiling of the room for a while, and pulled out a handful of huge, dusty feathers.

"I randomly picked up some of their feathers. I originally wanted to give them to Ollivander, but unfortunately he didn't like using thunderbird feathers to make wands, so I just put them here."

"It has accumulated a little dust." Hagrid grabbed the feathers and shook them vigorously. As the dust flew, a subtle electric light danced, and a handful of white and brown feathers revealed their original color, "But they are still very beautiful. Right."

"If you like, take a few back. It seems pretty good to make quills."

Hagrid opened his palms and showed an honest smile. These gadgets can be found everywhere in his house. They are not rare items. He grabbed a lot of them.

"Thank you then."

Randomly picking a thunderbird feather of suitable length for a quill, Luo Luo led Ya Ya and left the hut first.

"Maybe I should fix the fence to stop those damn bad things from getting in the yard and ruining my crops."

"Is there something that could come in and eat it?"

"Hmm, a group of newly arrived Tebo warthogs, but they should be hybrids with giant pig monsters. They have poor stealth capabilities, but they are very greedy."

Following the direction of Hagrid's finger, Rollo saw a half-slaughtered black wild boar that weighed an estimated three hundred kilograms.

"I got a few traps for them and caught one this morning, just a little while before you came."

"But now, this pig has another use. Don't you want to see magical creatures? It would be best to invite them as guests and bring some gifts."

"Don't run around here."

Hagrid, who stepped forward and picked up the huge wild boar, turned around and said, "I'll be back in a minute. You're not allowed to go into the forest. It's really dangerous, not even with Yaya around. It will pee all over the ground as it walks."

"Wang Wang Wang!"

The man who had his short teeth exposed by Hagrid yelled at Hagrid a few times in dissatisfaction, then ran forward a few steps and pretended to take a bite of the wild boar that Hagrid was carrying to grind his teeth. However, the teeth were flattened by Hagrid's punch. Pig Face was so frightened that Yaya jumped up on the spot, and Sayazi ran behind Luo Luo and tried to hide.

"Wang Wang Wang!"

Through the BUFF that refreshed the dog-fighting power, Yaya poked out only one head and bared his teeth at the burping wild boar. He screamed and didn't forget to look up at Luo Luo, as if to say: "Look, I'm not afraid of this." Pig head, I’m awesome.”

This vivid performance of being strong on the outside, ruthless on the inside, deceiving oneself, and taking advantage of others' power made Hagrid couldn't help laughing and walked towards the Forbidden Forest. After a while, he disappeared into the dense forest.

Rollo, who was expecting Hagrid to surprise him later, suppressed the eagerness in his heart and sat cross-legged on the soft grass. He did not come here on a whim. The owl brought him many clues during breakfast, and After seeing Yaya, Luo Luo felt more confident.

He has an affinity for inhuman creatures that is beyond common sense, even completely unscientific and equally unmagical.

The broken heart pendant of fraternity and protection was once again placed in front of Luo Luo. He was thinking, if the ancestor of the Beifeng family is really the demigod hunter Beifeng Emperor, then what Beifeng left behind Things, what are the characteristics they inherit?

The first thing that can be ruled out is the strong and strange XP for non-human life that is unique to Bei Feng.At least when Rollo saw Owl and Yaya, he didn't feel any emotion in his heart. He felt fond and happy, but it was more like the emotion of a child when he saw a happy toy.

Then there is only one trait left that belongs to Bei Feng that he inherited, and that is a high affinity for all non-human life.

If this is the trait inherited by the Beifeng family, then there seems to be an explainable reason for the treasury full of gold and silver.

Rollo lowered his head and looked at Yaya and stroked its dog's head. This had completely turned him against the dog. As long as Rollo wanted it, Yaya was very happy to give it to Rollo with the big bone stick that he had treasured for half his life.

If you can establish such an intimate relationship with animals at the first meeting, why worry about mundane money?

After waiting for Hagrid for about 15 minutes, a dull sound of footsteps came from far away in the Forbidden Forest. The sound of trees being scratched and the grass and shrubs being trampled became clearer and clearer. In the shadows cast by the trees, Rollo saw a huge black shadow approaching his position.

"Be honest!"

"boom!"

The dull thump was accompanied by Hagrid's voice. When he was about to leave the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's figure waving his hands fell into Rollo's eyes.

Behind him, a giant monster about five meters tall with three heads was holding its head in Hagrid's hand. On the back of this giant monster, there was also a hairy human head. , a strange creature with the body of a lion and the tail of a scorpion.

"Look, this is the guy I told you about making trouble in the woods recently."

Hagrid, who was striding towards Rollo, said cheerfully, with a hint of joy in his tone.

"This little naughty boy is actually very charming, isn't he? What beautiful hair and scales he has."
