A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 150 Fantastic Beasts
Not long after, the male unicorn came back, walked gracefully in front of the three of them, lowered his head and put down the empty bucket.

At close range, Felix noticed that its mane was shining and pearly white, and even the gray Forbidden Forest couldn't hide the light jumping on it.

On the high brown slope, a slender unicorn watched them from a distance, and beside it was a small unicorn with golden fluff.

"Look~look~" Hagrid couldn't help rubbing his hands, and said obsessively, "That's your child, isn't it, Ruby?"

The unicorn named "Rupee" rubbed Hagrid's hand affectionately.

Soon, Ruby jumped up the slope in a few steps and left with his family.

The mottled silver-white light followed their figures until they disappeared completely.

"Let me show you around," said Hagrid, "I'm fine anyway."

He looked at the black hound: "Yaya, you go home first."

Yaya bared his white teeth, and let out a "woo hoo" sound——

"Go, don't worry, I'll be back later." Hagrid stroked its head with his big hand.

It wasn't until Fang's figure disappeared that Hagrid realized that he was still carrying a bucket in his hand.

"I should have asked Fang to take the bucket home," he said ruefully.

Felix touched it with his wand, transforming it into a silver cane.

Hagrid waved it twice excitedly—the stick drew an impenetrable silver light and made a whistling sound, almost hitting Belby on the head.

"Watch out, Hagrid!"

"Hold, I'm sorry, I'm a little excited, your name is Baby?"

"Belby, Damocles Belby."

"Oh, er, well, Professor Belby."

In the dense jungle, Hagrid walked ahead, with Felix and Belby following behind him.

They walked and talked--

"Hagrid, I heard that there are werewolves and trolls in the Forbidden Forest... Is it true?" Felix asked with interest. Never encountered them while swimming.

"You said that," Hagrid muttered, "There is indeed, but it's on the other side of the Forbidden Forest, not next to us."

Belby had a deep understanding of werewolves as a group because of the production of Wolf's Poison. He couldn't help but ask, "Why are there werewolves living in the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid's eyes widened, and he stopped and thought for a long time. Finally, he waved his big hand and said, "Don't ask me, I don't know. Most werewolves live alone, and I know some who live with wolves. I think they might be heartbroken..."

Several people skipped the topic, and Felix asked, "Hagrid, are there any interesting magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest?"

This question caught Hagrid's fancy, and he said a bunch of names: "Acromantula, Hippogriff, Billywig, Thestral, Fluffy the Three-Headed Dog, Tebo Warthog, Bowtruckles, Hinkpunks, Manticores..."

Belby quickly memorized some names that sounded dangerous.

"There are quite a few humanoid creatures, besides centaurs, trolls, and werewolves, I remember seeing a group of flower fairies." Hagrid said, "Of course, they just look like humans, with wings. .”

Felix knew about these creatures, fairies or flower fairies, which are usually 1 to 5 inches in size and very human-like in appearance—except for a pair of insect wings on the back.

They are generally divided into groups according to different types of wings, some are transparent and some are colorful.

Unlike the wise fairies often seen in Muggle fairy tales, this creature is generally low in intelligence, quarrelsome, and unable to speak human languages.

But Felix's point is not here——

"Three-headed dog Lu Wei? I seem to have heard this name somewhere."

"Ahem!" Hagrid coughed violently, and he explained in a panic, "I must have misheard, did I mention it to you?"

Felix looked at him with calm eyes. For some reason, Hagrid suddenly felt that his eyes resembled Dumbledore's. He scratched his cheek unnaturally: "Okay, I admit, I put Lu Wei in stock. It's in the Forbidden Forest, that's a three-headed dog I raised, the specific situation is very complicated..."

"Hagrid," Felix said softly, "as far as I know, a three-headed dog is more dangerous than a lone troll."

"Ah, this, that..." Hagrid hesitated for a while, and finally said with a dejected voice: "Your words make sense, Felix. So I drove it into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, where it is even worse than here." Stay away from school. I see him once a month, poor Fluffy, he's so small..."

He sniffled sadly, with tears in his eyes.

Felix and Belby were silent and did not speak. An adult three-headed dog was at least three to four meters tall. It was a very dangerous magical creature, and it could fight a troll one-on-one without losing the wind.

……

With Hagrid's guidance, Belby's goal was quickly accomplished, and Felix also picked up a lot of miscellaneous materials.

They saw Bowtruckles covered in lumps that looked like brown boughs, and the little ones hung on the wand tree and peered down;

Seeing the family of Hippogriffs with eagle head, horse body and wings, which perfectly fits their name, their bright orange eyes are particularly eye-catching;

There is also a Hincklepunk hiding near a body of water, and a blue Billywig bug that has taken over an area...

Felix even picked up the claw of an acromantula on a rugged and winding rocky path.

The sky was getting dark, and the only light in the Forbidden Forest was rapidly disappearing. The trees seemed to have turned black, and they were about to return to the castle.

"The road is too far, so we may not be able to make it to dinner time." Hagrid raised his arm, using his silver cane and the other arm to push aside the dense branches and leaves above his head, and said, looking at the sky glowing with sunshine.

Following his movements, golden light fell down, forming a dazzling halo around the three of them.

Felix squinted his eyes, adjusting to the sudden bright light.

"I have a better way, Hagrid."

He held out his hands, one on Belby's shoulder, one on Hagrid's waist—

"What?" Hagrid asked, somewhat startled.

In the next second, their bodies quickly twisted and disappeared in place.

The branch that lost its support suddenly bounced back, and a few leaves fluttered down.

On the edge of the Forbidden Forest, not far from Hagrid's hut, three figures suddenly appeared.

Hagrid looked at the surrounding environment. After seeing his hut, he shouted excitedly: "This is Apparation? How convenient! To be honest, I have never experienced this magic..."

"I've heard old wizards in taverns say that people who use portkeys and apparation are fools - it takes at least half a day to get used to that disgusting feeling, but it's not as bad as they say. So bad."

Felix shook his head, disapparating with Hagrid, which was much more laborious than himself.

After dinner in the auditorium, Felix returned to his office.

He took out today's harvest from the ring, and some magical plants were piled up in the corner. He was going to visit Professor Sprout and ask about transplanting and planting—it doesn't need to be carefully raised, as long as it can be maintained until he can use it.

There are also some materials for magical creatures, such as the giant claw of the acromant, the feathers of the Hippogriff, and the tail needles of the Billywig. He is ready to try their magical properties one by one.

Just after eight o'clock, he heard a knock on the door, pushed the door open, and saw his assistant standing outside the door.

"Professor, I have some questions I want to ask you about choosing courses."
