[HP] Guardian

"Harry! Harry! Are you alright?" Harry opened his eyes, knelt on the ground and gasped for air like someone who was about to suffocate. It took him a while to calm down. To the cold sweat on his face.

"Are you all right?" Ron and Hermione helped him back to his seat.

"It's okay." Harry tilted his head and looked towards the door. The dementor had already left.

"Eat more... it will be better" Lupine broke off a small piece of chocolate and gave him "good, know how to deal with dementors"

"Thanks, Professor." Harry smiled weakly at him, stuffing the chocolate into his mouth.

"I need to speak to the driver, sorry!" He froze for a moment before walking past Harry and disappearing into the corridor.

"You're sure you're all right, Harry," said Hermione, looking at Harry anxiously.

"I'm fine, how about you?" Harry sank limply in his seat and looked at them.

"It's horrible," said Neville, his voice higher than his usual.

"I feel weird" said Ron, twisting his shoulders uncomfortably "like I'm never going to be happy again..."

Ginny crouched in a corner, looking not too different from Harry, sobbing softly, and Hermione walked over and put her arms around her soothingly.

"Ginny was shaking uncontrollably, but... you were more serious, as if you were... gasping for breath, and your whole body was convulsing, scaring us to death." Harry didn't faint this time, but it wasn't much better, he It feels like dying.

Lupine came back at this time, looked around to make sure they were all right before saying "We'll be at Hogwarts in 10 minutes"

"Hello, Harry." Harry nodded and smiled, telling Lupine that he was fine.

They didn't talk much for the rest of the trip.at last.The train finally stopped at Hogwarts Station, and getting off was a real hectic affair.Owls hooted, cats meowed, and Neville's pet toad croaked under his hat.The small platform was frozen, and the cold rain was pouring down.

They walked forward along the platform, and the three of them followed the other students of the school on a rough and muddy road, got into the carriage and slowly arrived at the gate of Hogwarts, where two dementors were guarding, and Harry shrank Back to the carriage, he really hated this thing.

As Harry got out of the car, a drawn-out rumble sounded in his ear.

"Potter! Is Longbottom telling the truth? You're dying of fright." Malfoy pushed past Hermione, blocking Harry's way through the stone steps into the castle, his pale eyes smug. Flashes maliciously.

"Go away, Malfoy," Ron said through gritted teeth.

"Aren't you dying too, Weasley?" Malfoy said loudly. "That horrible old fellow scares you too, Weasley"

"Is something wrong?" Lupine had just stepped out of a carriage behind.

Malfoy gave Professor Lupine a haughty look, taking in both the patches on Lupine's robes and the battered trunk.

There was a sarcasm in his voice and he said "Oh, no, oh, Professor" and then he gave Crabbe and Goyle a smirk and led them up the stone steps into the castle.

The three entered the castle, and McGonagall stopped them, because it was supposed to be for Hermione's class selection, and Harry took Ron to the auditorium.

This time the sorting ceremony was presided over by Flitwick. Harry stuffed himself with a piece of chocolate and cast a warming spell before sitting down at the long table in a depressed mood. The whole auditorium was very lively, and he was still not there until Hermione came back to sit down state.

Dumbledore's new term speech, warning them not to provoke the dementors, and introducing Lupine.

"Happily," he continued, "this year, I'm delighted to welcome two new teachers to our team. The first is Professor Lupine, who has kindly agreed to fill the vacancy in Defense Against the Dark Arts. "

There was some sporadic, less enthusiastic applause in the auditorium.Only the students who had been in the same car as him on the train applauded vigorously.Professor Lupine looked shabby among all the well-dressed teachers.

"Look at Snape!" Ron whispered into Harry's ear.The old bat stared at Lupine all the way along the teacher's long table.Everyone knew that the old bat had always wanted to be the professor of defense, but Harry knew that the old bat was not angry because of this this time.The distorted expression on the old bat's thin sallow face, that expression was beyond anger, it was hatred.Harry knew that look all too well, the way the old Bat had looked on his face once.

"As for the second teacher we have appointed" after Professor Lupine's half-hearted applause died down.Dumbledore went on: "Well, I regret to inform you that Professor Kettleburn, our Care of Magical Creatures teacher, retired late last year in order to spend more time with his remaining little rascals. However, I Glad to say it was none other than Rubeus Hagrid to fill his vacancy, and Hagrid has agreed to be a teacher as well as a gamekeeper."

The applause from the Gryffindor table was exceptionally loud, and Harry grinned at Hagrid, who was flushed and staring at his large hands, his smile hidden in his shaggy black beard.

"We should have known," roared Ron, thumping the table. "Who else would tell us to get a book that bites!"

After Dumbledore finished speaking, he announced the opening of the meal. Harry asked the elf to change it to warm chocolate milk. He drank a large glass before recovering.

On the second morning, Harry got up late, he didn't choose divination, and the Transfiguration class didn't start until ten o'clock in the morning, he was the only one left in the dormitory, he got up slowly to wash up, and asked the elf to bring the breakfast directly , He finished his breakfast while reading a book, packed up before going out to class.

When he arrived in the transformation classroom, he was the only one. After waiting for a long time, a group of frightened animals entered the classroom one after another.

"I really shouldn't choose Divination, Harry, you don't know that Divination class is just talking about God." Hermione came in and sat next to him and complained to her friend.

In this class, McGonagall was teaching them about Animagus, and the little animals almost didn't listen. She turned into a tabby cat under the eyes of everyone, with traces of glasses around her eyes.

"Seriously, what's the matter with you today?" said Professor McGonagall, with a slight poof.She has changed back to her original shape, and looked around at the students, "It doesn't matter, but it's the first time that my transformation didn't win the applause of the whole class."

Everyone turned their heads to Hermione but no one spoke, Harry knew that the "dead" person this time was Hermione

"Professor, we just had a divination class, we read tea leaves, and..." Hermione raised her hand.

"Ah, of course," said Professor McGonagall, frowning suddenly. "There's no need to go any further, Miss Granger. Tell me, which of you will die this year?" Everyone stared at her.

"I" said Hermione.

"Understood," said Professor McGonagall, staring at Hermione. "So, Miss Granger, you should know that Sybill Trelawney has predicted the death of a student every year since she came to this school. None of them has died so far. Foreseeing the signs of death is her favorite way of welcoming new students. If I'm not someone who never speaks ill of my colleagues." Professor McGonagall paused, and they saw her nostrils turn white.She continued, calmer, "Divination is one of the most inaccurate subjects in magic. To tell you the truth, I have the least patience for divination. There are very few people who can truly see the future, and Professor Trelawney ..."

She paused again, and then said in a very matter-of-fact tone, "I see that you are in excellent health, Miss Granger, so you will be able to hand in an excellent paper to me next class, right?" Hermione said He nodded happily and laughed.

It was Hagrid's first class in the afternoon, and they went to the cabin early to cheer for Hagrid.Hagrid was waiting for his students by the cottage door.In his moleskin overcoat, with his fangs at his feet, he seemed eager to go.

"Come on, come on, come on!" he called, as the students approached. "I've got something nice for you today, and I'm going to have a wonderful class soon. Are you all here? Well, come with me! "

Hagrid only led them along the edge of the woods, and after five minutes they were outside what seemed to be a paddock.

"Come up to this fence, everybody," he cried. "That's right, stand where you can see. Now, the first thing you have to do is open your books..."

"How?" said Draco Malfoy in his cold drawl.

"Ok?"

"How do we open books?" Malfoy repeated.He took out his Monster Book of Monsters, which he had tied up with a string.

"No, won't anyone be able to open the book?" said Hagrid, looking downcast.

"Just grab it by the back, won't you?" Harry took his book and tore off the tape that bound it.The book wanted to bite, and Harry ran his fingers up and down the spine, and the book shuddered, then opened, and lay quietly in his hands.

"Oh! Awesome! Harry! Five points to Gryffindor" Hagrid finally let go of his nervousness when he saw Harry interacting with him.

"You've got your books, now all you need are magical creatures. I'll go find them, wait" He left the students and walked into the woods.After a while it was out of sight.

"God, this place is going to die," Malfoy yelled. "This stupid teaching, if I tell my dad, he won't be so angry..."

"Shut up, Malfoy." Harry turned to face him.

"Ooooh! Potter, there's a dementor behind you!" Lavender Brown screamed, pointing across the paddock.

Hagrid brought over a dozen pterodactyls. They had the bodies, hind legs and tails of horses, but their front legs, wings and heads seemed to be those of eagles, and they had sharp steel-colored beaks and bright orange big heads. Eye.The claws on their front legs are half a foot long and look deadly.Around each beast's neck was a thickly feathered collar, to which was fastened a long chain, and the ends of these chains were held in one large hand by Hagrid, who trotted after the animals to paddock.

"Go over there," he yelled, shaking the chain, yelling at these guys to come over to the fence where the class stood.Everyone backed away a little as Hagrid approached and chained the guys to the fence.

"The Hippogriff!" roared Hagrid happily.Waving a hand at them, "They're pretty, aren't they?" Harry could more or less understand what Hagrid meant.Seeing this half-horse, half-bird is a shock at first glance, but once the shock wears off, you'll appreciate its shiny coat, which transitions smoothly from feathers to fur, and comes in a variety of colors: dark gray, Bronze, pinkish sand, shiny maroon, and finally jet black.

"Then," said Hagrid, rubbing his hands together and smiling at the class "if you want to get closer..." No one seemed to want to.However, Harry, Ron and Hermione approached the fence cautiously.

"Well, the first thing you have to know about hippogriffs is that they're proud," said Hagrid. "It's easy to offend them. Never offend a hippogriff, because it might It's the last thing you want to do."

"You always wait for the hippogriff to make the move first," Hagrid went on. "It's polite, see? You walk up to it, you bow, and you wait. If it bows back to you, you just It's time to touch it. If it doesn't bow, get away from it quickly, because these claws will hurt people"

"Okay, who's first?" In answer, most of the students backed away, and even Ron and Hermione felt scared.The monsters were shaking their heads angrily and spreading their powerful wings, as if they didn't want to be restrained like this.

"I'll do it," said Harry.

"Well done, Harry!" cried Hagrid. "Well, let's see how you get on with that monster called Buckbeak." He untied a chain and dragged Buckbeak away from his mate. Open and take off its collar.All the students across the paddock seemed to be holding their breath.Malfoy's eyes narrowed maliciously.

"Relax, okay, Harry," Hagrid said quietly, "you and it have to look at each other, and try not to blink if you blink too much. The monster doesn't trust you..." Harry stepped forward and kept his eyes open. winged beast.Buckbeak had turned his large, pointed head and was looking at Harry with one furious orange eye. "That's right," said Hagrid. "That's right, Harry, now, bow . . . " He bowed, then straightened up to look.The winged beast still looked at him hostilely.It doesn't move.

"Ah," said Hagrid, sounding worried. "Well, back off, now. Harry, back off relaxed..."

But at this moment, the winged beast suddenly bent its scaly front knees and sank in an obvious bow.

"Well done, Harry!" said Hagrid ecstatically. "Yes, you can touch it now! Pat it's beak, clap it!" Harry walked slowly towards the monster, and towards it He reached out and patted its beak several times.The monster closed its eyes lazily, as if it liked it very much.

The whole class applauded, except for Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, who looked disappointed.

"Well, Harry," said Hagrid, "I think he might like to let you ride him."

"You climb up here, just behind the wing joints," said Hagrid. "Be careful not to pull his feathers off, he doesn't like it when you do..." Harry put one foot on Buckbeak's wing and climbed up. onto its back.Buckbeak stood up, and Harry threw his arms around its neck.

"Go on!" cried Hagrid, patting the monster on the rear.

The winged beast spread its twelve-foot wings on either side of Harry, and carried him around the paddock and back down to the ground.

"Well done, Harry!" shouted Hagrid, and everyone except Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle cheered. "Well, who wants to try?" The whole class took encouragement from Harry, They all entered the paddock cautiously.Hagrid unchained them one by one, and soon there were nervous bows all over the paddock.Several times Neville fled back from his winged beast, which didn't seem to want to bend its knees.Ron and Hermione bowed to a sorrel winged beast while Harry looked on.

Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle take Buckbeak.It bowed to Malfoy, who was patting its beak in disgust.

"It's easy," Malfoy drawled, and Harry looked back at him. "If Potter could do it, I know it must be pretty easy, and I bet you're not dangerous at all. Are you?" he said to The winged beast said, "You are not dangerous, you big ugly beast!"

With a wave of Buckbeak's steel-gray claws, Malfoy let out a scream, and Hagrid immediately put Buckbeak, who was still struggling to pounce on Malfoy, back into his collar, and Harry rolled Malfoy into his arms. to the grass.

"I'm going to die! It's going to kill me!" Malfoy screamed, throwing his head back.

"Shut up! Is your brain covered with achnatherum?" Harry gritted his teeth and slapped him on the head, causing Malfoy to shrink his head and close his mouth in fright.

"Harry! Are you okay? You are going to the hospital wing..." On his back again...Harry struggled to get up, a long gash was torn on his back, and blood flowed out.

The students in the Protection of Magical Creatures class were shocked and gathered around.The Slytherins yelled about Hagrid together. "They should fire him right away!" said Pansy Parkinson, who ran up to lift Malfoy up. "It's Malfoy's fault!" Dean snapped. said, Crabbe and Goyle flexed their muscles threateningly.

"I warn you, Malfoy, if you dare to make a fuss about what happened today, you just have to wait and see." Harry supported Hagrid's hand and stood up. He, Ron and Hermione and Hagrid hurriedly picked him up and ran to the medical wing.

"Oh, it's you again." Madam Pomfrey in the medical wing came up to see him again, she bent down to check his back, "I think you did something dangerous again."

"The winged beast attacked the students, and Harry saved people..." Hagrid scratched his head in pain, Harry's injuries were deep enough to show the bones, and looked very serious.

"It's okay, you lie on your stomach first, I'll get the medicine" So just after school started, Harry tragically lay down in the hospital wing again.
