Hogwarts in the shadows

Hephis asked when he saw Snape had walked back to his desk.

"Professor... don't you want to tell me something about Lupin?"

"What do I tell you to do? To make trouble for him? To get him out?" Snape turned around, with an elusive light flashing in his black eyes.

"Uh..." Hephis was speechless for a moment. He could actually do this.

"Hogwarts hasn't had a decent Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in years."

Snape continued reluctantly, "That guy may be...but at least you can learn a little bit of knowledge, just a little bit."

Hephis looked at Snape deeply and sighed in his heart.

This bosom.

If this happened to him, he wouldn't be called Hephes if he didn't get crippled by Lupin.

But how many people can understand Snape like this?

"Anything else? No, get out of here." Snape sat in his own office chair.

Hephis rolled his eyes, saying it as if he was going to do it, but it seemed like he actually had something going on.

"Professor, regarding the gender-changing potion... have you done any research?"

"Gender change potion? Why do you want that? Do you want to change your sex?"

Snape stood up suddenly, a barely perceptible light flashed in his eyes, and asked in surprise.

Hephis almost vomited blood, and he explained hurriedly.

"Ahem... No, no, Professor, I don't use that stuff."

"Then why do you want that thing?" Snape sat back down, his voice calm.

"Uh... well! Actually..." Hephis really found it a little difficult to explain.

After all, the gender-changing potion required Snape to spend a lot of effort to research.

But this matter was Draco's privacy, so he couldn't come up with a good reason for the time being.

"Okay, just focus on your preparations. I'll look into it later when I have time."

Snape waved his hand impatiently, obviously ordering him to leave.

"Thank you, Professor." Hephis thought for a moment and added, "Professor, if you succeed in making this potion, don't blame it on me!"

"Go away." Snape closed his eyes.

"Okay, professor. Good night, professor." Hephis bowed slightly and Apparated back to the dormitory.

Snape opened his eyes and looked at the place where Hephes had left, with chaotic thoughts churning in his mind.

He quickly shook his head, as if trying to expel something.

Finally he took out his wand, pressed it against his temple, and erased a memory.

After lunch the next day, Hephis followed Hermione out of the castle.

They were heading to Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures class.

As soon as Draco saw Hagrid, he rushed over impatiently and asked excitedly.

"Hagrid, what goodies have you prepared today?"

"Don't worry, you'll see it soon. It will definitely surprise you." Hagrid was wearing his iconic moleskin coat.

"Okay, is everyone here? Come on, come on! Follow me!"

The young wizards followed Hagrid along the edge of the woods, and five minutes later they arrived at the edge of a large paddock.

"Everyone come here! Stand by the fence!" he shouted.

"This way you can see more clearly. Next, the first thing you need to do is open the books in your hands."

"Uh...Hagrid, how do I open it?" Draco looked at the "Monster Book of Monsters" that was tied tightly in his hand in embarrassment.

Others did basically the same thing, using various fixings to tie the books tightly.

"No one can open this book?" Hagrid said dejectedly.

Then he looked at Hephis again and said excitedly, "Look everyone, Hephis is not tied to the book."

All the little wizards looked at Hephes at the same time, only to see the "Monster Book of Monsters" lying obediently in his hands.

"Hephis, please show everyone how to open this book." Hagrid looked at Hephis expectantly.

"Uh..." Hephis was also a little confused. He could open the book, but his method was not suitable for everyone.

He said a little embarrassedly: "Professor, I think... you should tell everyone first."

"Oh, all right!" Hagrid took the book from Harry's hand and untied the straps on it. "We must sort these books out."

His index finger slid lightly across the spine of the book, and the book that had originally wanted to bite him immediately calmed down and opened obediently.

"Actually, I think these books are quite...quite interesting." He said a little lacking in confidence.

Ok!

Useless knowledge has increased again.

Seeing this, Hephes took the lead in applauding.

Draco immediately understood and joined in the applause.

Gradually, applause rang out in the paddock. Although the other little wizards didn't understand why, they also started to applaud.

Professor Hagrid looked at the scene in front of him, his eyes flashing with emotion.

He took a deep breath and bowed deeply to the little wizards.

"Thank you. This is my first class. Thank you very much."

"Okay, professor, let's see the surprise you prepared." Hephis began the Q process.

"Yes, yes, a surprise." Hagrid was as excited as a child at this moment, "You will definitely like it. Wait for me, I will bring them over right away."

He couldn't wait to leave and his figure soon disappeared into the woods.

Draco looked at Hefeth with some concern, "Is Hagrid okay? Why do I feel..."

"Don't worry, we are here." Hephis smiled.

Draco nodded, "Yes."

Harry looked at Draco in surprise, as if he had just met Draco for the first time.

Draco looked at Harry as if by telepathy.

He was about to open his mouth to sneer, but he didn't know what he thought of, his little face flushed, and he quickly lowered his head.

Just then Lavender Brown suddenly screamed, her finger pointing across the paddock, "Ahhhhh!"

I saw twelve hippogriffs slowly approaching.

They have the head, wings and front claws of an eagle, while the hindquarters are like those of a horse.

These creatures have steel-colored beaks, half-foot-long claws on their front legs, and bright orange eyes.

There was a long iron chain tied around their necks, and Hagrid's strong and powerful hands were tightly grasping the ends of the chains.

Hagrid walked closer and tied them to the fence, motioning everyone to stand back.

"Hippogriffs!" he cried excitedly, waving a hand toward the little wizards. "They're beautiful, aren't they?"

Draco stared at them intently and murmured to himself, "They are really beautiful."
