The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, outside Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid held the letter from the owl with a look of disbelief on his face:

"I can't believe Dumbledore actually agreed to your request?"

That's a werewolf! The scariest magical beast!

Neither as friendly as Aragog nor as obedient as Lu Wei, isn't Dumbledore afraid that these werewolves would rush into the castle and harm the students?

"Hagrid."

Ash saw the confusion on Hagrid's face and reminded:

"This is Dumbledore's personal letter."

Hagrid scratched his messy hair and shouted self-defeatingly:

"Okay, okay, I won't care about those werewolves anymore!"

As he spoke, he muttered again in a low voice:

"Anyway, Dumbledore is responsible for anything that happens."

He looked towards the forest not far away and could vaguely see the werewolves gathering. They would bring the hunted elk carcasses to the open space, and the house elves would serve them cooked delicacies. At the same time, they would bring these prey to the Hogwarts kitchen to process them into ingredients for later use.

Ash suddenly asked:

"Hagrid, when will your eggs hatch?"

Hagrid said vaguely:

"It should be within these two months."

"should?"

Ash's suspicious look made Hagrid uneasy, and he explained awkwardly:

"It's actually my first time and I don't have much experience. But generally speaking, this time won't be too long. But as long as the egg breaks the shell, it will hatch within 24 hours."

Ash asked:

"What happens after it breaks out of its shell? Where are you going to keep it? In the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid said with a serious expression: "No, it is too young to support itself. I have to take care of it for two years first!"

"Then is there any way to ensure that it won't be discovered within two years?"

Facing Ash's constant questioning, Hagrid gradually ran out of words.

His house was just that big, and it was right next to Hogwarts.

The Thunderbird was fine when it was young, but when it grew up, it was impossible to hide its size!

Once Hagrid's secret raising of thunderbirds is discovered, he may not be expelled, but the thunderbirds will definitely be sent away.

Hagrid anxiously scratched his head with his beloved pink umbrella, but couldn't find a good solution, so he could only say in a low voice:

"I will never let it be discovered!"

As the breeze blew, there seemed to be a hint of excitement in the howling wind, like a girl's cooing:

"Ash! Hagrid!"

Well, either like, someone was calling his name.

Ash looked up at the horizon. Harley and Cassandra were riding broomsticks, flying towards this side one after the other.

Hagrid, who was still worried about how to hide the Thunderbird, suddenly stood up and said in disbelief:

"Harley?! Why are you in the sky? I mean, who allowed you to ride a broomstick?!"

Didn't he remember that he hadn't started learning how to use a broomstick yet in the first grade?

It was a cloudy and rainy day last Thursday, so the flying lessons were not successful at all!

So who taught them to fly? Where did their broomsticks come from?

Harley landed in the open space in front of the cabin at this time, grabbed the broom and came to Ash.

After hearing Hagrid's inquiry, she explained:

"It's Professor Snape. He just taught us how to fly and gave each of us a broomstick."

She raised the broom in her hand so that Hagrid could see the large golden characters.

"Nimbus 2000?"

Hagrid exclaimed, "When did Snape become so generous?"

Harley was a little confused:

"Is Professor Snape stingy?"

"Of course it's stingy."

Hagrid muttered:

"Last time I asked him to lend me some money to buy me three Luwei, but he refused to agree."

"Lu Wei?"

Harley was a little confused. She only knew that Hagrid raised a black hound called Fang. Who was Lu Wei? Why three heads?

"I can't say!"

Hagrid realized that he had let slip, and subconsciously tried to make amends, warning: "Don't ask, this is secret No. 1, understand?"

"Three Nimbus 2000, 1800 Galleons."

"As expected of you, Professor Snape."

Ash also expressed his admiration for Professor Snape in his heart. In order to give Harry brooms so as not to appear out of place, Snape gave three brooms at a time, which was quite generous. Just because Snape dotes on Harry, no matter how hard he works, he might even be able to kill Voldemort!

"Ash."

Cassandra had a bit of showoff in her eyes and asked excitedly:

"Professor Snape said he would make an exception and let us participate in the Slytherin Quidditch team's trial next week!"

"It's amazing."

Ash sincerely praised:

"Slytherin may win this Quidditch championship."

Kassandra raised her white chin, and her approval of Ash was quite helpful.

Ash looked behind Cassandra and asked doubtfully:

"Where's Hermione?"

Cassandra sighed inaudibly and pointed to the ground not far away.

Hermione was there, flying very low, only two or three meters above the ground, obviously afraid of falling off her broom. Coupled with the fact that the field of view was blocked, Ash was unable to spot her immediately.

After a long time, Hermione clutched the broom tightly and flew slowly to their side.

Hermione put on a stern face and warned:

"Harley, Cassandra, you will definitely be criticized by the professor if you fly around like this!"

Harley blinked and asked:

"But didn't Professor Snape say you can fly wherever you want?"

Hermione said angrily:

"But you guys are so messy! Even the senior students can't fly as fast as you. Do you know how worried I am? What should I do if I fall?"

Harley thought about it carefully and realized that it was indeed her fault, and said sincerely:

"I'm sorry, Hermione."

Her admission of mistake made Hermione a little confused about what to say.

Neither is it when you are angry, nor is it when you are not angry.

And just at this moment, Ash suddenly stepped forward and handed a golden-haired kitten with heterochromatic eyes to her.

Hermione's eyes were immediately attracted to the kitten. While looking at it curiously, she was also a little confused about what kind of cat it was. She had never seen it before.

On the contrary, Hagrid's eyes widened:

"Catonizi? Where did you get it?"

These little guys run very fast every time they see him, and they are not as obedient as Lu Wei!

"I asked Bai Zi to catch it for me."

Ash opened his mouth and pushed Hagrid away. Then he put the kitten into the girl's arms and asked with a chuckle:

"This is my gift to you, Hermione, do you like it?"

"I like it." Hermione took the kitten in surprise, her face flushed.

The little thing snored happily in her arms, very well-behaved.

Harley was a little envious, but she already had Hedwig, so she wasn't that envious.

As for Cassandra, she prefers snakes to regular pets.

But alas, Ash doesn't have snake-like magical creatures.
