Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

Regarding Andre, Hagrid actually had nothing to say to him. He knew very well that this boy could even deal with a fire dragon, let alone a hippogriff.

However, out of concern for Buckbeak, he still said: "Andre, you have to relax first. You and it must look at each other. If you blink hard, Buckbeak will not trust you... "

Andre nodded, and he walked in front of the hippogriff with a relaxed expression, facing the monster that was said to be a descendant of a gryphon.

Buckbeak immediately turned his big, pointed head around and looked at Andre with his orange pupils.

Hagrid said: "That's right, that's right, Andre, now, bow..."

But before Andre could follow Hagrid's instructions and salute Buckbeak, the monster lowered its head first.

This was completely beyond Hagrid's expectations. He had never seen an example of a Hippogriff surrendering to a human first.

But he didn't know that Andre was now fused with Leviathan's characteristics. Although he didn't completely let go of his momentum at this moment, his vague pressure was something that no mere hippogriff could contend with.

The perception of magical animals is undoubtedly sharper than that of human wizards. It can sense the power of the boy in front of it, so out of instinctive fear, it takes the lead in expressing surrender.

This surprised Andre, but he didn't pay too much attention.

Hagrid was completely stunned. This was completely inconsistent with the picture he had imagined, and he didn't know what to say next.

Fortunately, Andre reminded him immediately: "Then, Hagrid, what should I do?"

"Oh," Hagrid finally came back to his senses. He scratched his forehead in some distress, but still said according to his original words: "You should return the gift to it, and then...then you can touch it. , Oh, my God, Buckbeak actually bowed his head first, this is not common..."

Andre nodded, and he slightly bowed to the Hippogriff in front of him, but this seemed to make Buckbeak even more frightened. It actually bent its front legs forward and put its head on An Andre's feet.

Hagrid was completely shocked. Even he couldn't make the Hippogriff do this.

He muttered something unknown, but immediately remembered that this was his class, so he bit the bullet and said: "Perhaps, I think it is willing to let you ride on it... Of course... This... "

The students outside the fence were also shocked. They didn't know that Andre had the coercion given by Leviathan, and they thought this monster was so well-behaved.

Andre smiled. It was not the first day he entered Hogwarts. He had already tried the fun of flying, not to mention that he also had a Norwegian Spinosaurus in his suitcase. He has even been a dragon knight after hearing about the fire dragons of Erba Sutra.

So there was nothing interesting about riding a Hippogriff around Hogwarts for him.

But considering that Hagrid wanted to teach his first Care of Magical Creatures lesson well, Andre did not refuse.

"You climb up from here, just behind the wing joints," Hagrid said. "Be careful not to pull off its feathers. It...it probably won't like what you do..."

Speaking of which, Hagrid was not sure how tolerant Buckbeak was to Andre. After all, he had never seen a Hippogriff be so obedient to a human wizard.

Naturally, Andre would not be as cautious as Harry in the original plot. He straddled Buckbeak's back with a relaxed expression. As for Hagrid's instructions not to pull feathers, he didn't pay much attention to it. There was no rein on the hippogriff, so he could only hold on to the dense feather collar if he wanted to use strength.

Obviously, Buckbeak didn't dare to express dissatisfaction with the humanoid Leviathan on his back. It didn't even dare to stand up until Andre patted its front legs to signal it to move. .

Then, without Hagrid's participation, the monster suddenly opened its twelve-foot wings, trotted briskly for a few steps around the paddock, and then jumped into the sky.

Andre didn't fly too far on Buckbeak. He just circled the paddock a few times and signaled the monster to land.

"Well done! Andre!" Hagrid clapped his hands excitedly. Although Andre's contact with Buckbeak was somewhat different from his original plan, there were no other problems in the final result, which naturally made him very satisfied.

"Okay, who wants to try again?" After Andre got off Buckbeak, Hagrid turned to the other students and asked happily. In his opinion, with Andre's performance, Everyone should be very enthusiastic next time.

And this is also true. Everyone seemed to be inspired by Andre, and one by one cautiously but excitedly walked around the fence and entered the paddock.

Hagrid began to unchain the other hippogriffs, but Andre felt that he still had to remind him. He walked up to the hybrid giant and whispered: "Hagrid, you have to know , I am somewhat special, so not every hippogriff will be as well-behaved as Buckbeak, so you have to ask everyone to strictly follow the steps you have taken before, otherwise these monsters will not be as gentle as they look. .”

Hagrid nodded with a serious face. He might not know how Andre made Buckbeak surrender first, but he also knew very well that the hippogriff was still full of dangers for these students, "Don't worry. Come on, Andre, I know it."

Andre nodded slightly. He was just a reminder. As long as he was here, he couldn't release the pressure of the Holy Acorn in his body with all his strength. It was impossible for the twelve hippogriffs to attack him. What harm did the students cause, and the only ones he had to worry about were probably the Slytherin students.

Although Gryffindor students have always been very courageous, they still know a few rules. Everyone follows Hagrid's instructions and bows to these hippogriffs respectfully and politely, and then waits for their reaction. .

Only Neville didn't seem to gain courage at all from the examples of Andre and other students. He escaped from the monster several times. Fortunately, his timid actions did not win the approval of the Hippogriff. , but also did not anger it.

On Malfoy's side, he, Crabbe and Goyle chose Buckbeak. Their movements were normal at first. Malfoy bowed first, and then Buckbeak returned the bow.

The always arrogant Malfoy felt that he had conquered the monster. He arrogantly walked up to the opponent's figure and patted its beak with a look of disgust on his face.

"It's easy," Malfoy drawled, his voice loud enough for the students in the entire paddock to hear: "Since the big guy thinks he can show it to us, then I know it must be particularly easy. , after all, he can’t teach anything too complicated... I bet you’re not dangerous at all, right?”

It’s hard to believe where a third-grade wizard could have the confidence to think that a Hippogriff is not dangerous. When he patted Buckbeak’s beak, he said with a proud look on his face: “You are not dangerous, are you? , you big ugly beast?”

Andre just wanted to watch Buckbeak give him a claw, but considering Hagrid, he still didn't think the hippogriff would actually do any harm to Malfoy.

But even so, Buckbeak had already stood up, and his half-foot-long sharp claws were about to be chopped off on the head. If no one was holding him, Malfoy's arm in front of his head would at least get a big bite from it. suffering.

Hagrid, who was still teaching Hermione and the others in the distance, also saw this scene, but he was obviously not too close to Malfoy and could not rush over to stop him immediately, so his face turned pale instantly. Grid knew very well that if there was an accident in which a student was injured in his first class, then regardless of whether he was a scumbag like Malfoy, he would not have a good time in the future, especially the reputation of Professor Dumbledore. It brought some not-so-good influences. After all, he was a professor promoted by the principal.

Fortunately, Andre had been watching Malfoy, the troublemaker, so when Buckbeak stood up, ready to give Malfoy a hard claw, he stood on the side.

Slightly letting go of the control of the Holy Acorn, a much stronger pressure than before instantly surged out of Andre's body. As a human wizard, the other students present felt nothing.

But magical animals like the hippogriff reacted immediately. Not only Buckbeak, who was standing next to Andre, immediately put away his claws and lay on the ground tremblingly. Others in the paddock were A monster also bowed its big head.

"If I were you, I would first understand my own strength before provoking other people or creatures. You should be lucky that today is Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, otherwise I might watch you being torn apart by a monster. , maybe I can eat two more loaves at night." Andre sneered and said to Malfoy, who was still lying on the ground shaking. He patted Buckbeak, who was lying on the ground, and motioned for the monster to stand up. .

Hagrid on the other side of the paddock was obviously relieved. Although he still didn't understand how Andre did what he saw, it was the best result if no students were injured in his class. As for Malfoy, He was frightened. Even if he really went to Lucius to complain about this kind of thing, he would not get any results. Not to mention the Malfoy family, which was now in decline. Even before, the British wizarding world was not a place where he could do whatever he wanted. .

Unless there is real evidence that Malfoy was actually hurt by Buckbeak, then Lucius would be able to get the Ministry of Magic to issue an order to execute the monster, and even so, he would use Hagrid as the Professor of Care of Magical Creatures. There was no way, all he could do was take his anger out on an innocent magical animal. .seven

Although Dumbledore does not hold the position of Minister of Magic in the United Kingdom, his strength and reputation are enough to make his status in the United Kingdom no less than that of any government official.

Although in the end, with Andre's help, Hagrid did not suffer any irreparable injuries in his first class, there was still a small accident, so Hagrid had no choice but to end the class early.

On the way back to the castle, Malfoy and his party seemed very dissatisfied with this. He, his two followers, and Miss Pansy of Slytherin kept muttering something secretly.

But Andre didn't care about this. With Lucius's current situation, it was unlikely that he would continue to make any irrational actions against the Hogwarts staff. Last year's incident had already caused him to bleed heavily. In a short period of time, unless Voldemort really found him, with his wisdom, he would not be so desperate.

Of course, the latter possibility is not non-existent. As one of the 28 Holy Families, the Malfoy family has always been famous in the British wizarding world for its financial resources. If Voldemort wants to rise again, he will definitely rely on Lucius. Yes, even if this person's performance is very dissatisfying compared to other Death Eaters, the Dark Lord will definitely tolerate this small dissatisfaction before he can truly deal with Dumbledore and complete his goal of ruling Britain. , continue to rely on the power of the Malfoy family.

Therefore, even Andre couldn't predict whether Voldemort, who was still on the run, would find Lucius in advance.

But no matter what, even if Voldemort comes to Lucius, Andre will not be afraid of Draco Malfoy in the school. If the other party thinks that he can defeat him through some conspiracy, then he will keep waiting. On.

"How did you do it just now?" Hermione didn't care much about Malfoy and the others. Instead, she was curious about how Andre made twelve Hippogriffs surrender together before. She didn't see it. The boy had performed some kind of magic.

"It's the pressure of Leviathan," Andre naturally had no need to hide it from the little witch. He explained: "In fact, this was also possible with the help of the dragon's power from the Hungarian Horntail Dragon. You know, magical animals Their perceptions are much sharper than ours, and for creatures that are more powerful than them, their first choice is to surrender."

Hermione nodded and said, "So that's it. I thought you had learned some silent spell again."

Andre was dumbfounded. Recently, he had been focusing on studying the blood-purifying potion given to him by Dumbledore. How could he have time to learn spells, not to mention that the difficulty was more time-consuming than ordinary spells? A silent curse.

Speaking of which, he has almost finished researching the potion formula. The next step is to go to Snape to discuss how to brew this valuable potion.
