Hogwarts in a parallel world

Chapter 43 Eagle-headed Horse-winged Beast

It was already 9pm when Winters returned to Gryffindor Common.As soon as he arrived at the door, he heard a group of people discussing something inside. He vaguely heard a word: Hippogriff.

"Are you talking about the Hippogriff? That is a very dangerous magical animal," Winters said after coming in.

"You have really sharp ears," Aurora said, looking at the monster book.The book was shaking constantly, as if it was about to close the pages suddenly, and then bit Aurora's hand with its fangs.

"Hmm... Do we need to learn about hippogriffs in our Care of Magical Creatures class?" Winters hoped to get a negative answer.

He had seen this animal before.That was when he was a kid, about 6 years old.The crazy Hippogriff, who has been infected by dark magic, appears in the town of Colin Shield.The creature's eyes glowed scarlet, and its mouth kept uttering howls that were a mixture of various beasts.Under the intense fear, he conjured a ball of pitch-black flame, and the crazy Hippogriff turned into a puff of dust the moment it touched the pitch-black flame.

"Yes, we will learn about this animal tomorrow. I know what you are thinking, but it is not normal for us to encounter hippogriffs before. And we have teachers, so there is no need to worry too much." Aurora already guessed what Winters was thinking.

"You have encountered a hippogriff before? And what you have encountered is an abnormal hippogriff. Can you tell me about it?" Seamus turned his head and looked at them.The people around also looked at Aurora.

"You'll know tomorrow, tell me now. I won't be interested in tomorrow's class. All you need to know is that the hippogriff my brother and I encountered was contaminated by black magic." Aurora Said slightly proudly.

"I remember reading in the newspaper that a strange-looking hippogriff appeared in the town of Colin Shields, and then the Auror team at the time saw a ball of black flames defeating the creature... and so on. . . . Oh my God." Neville was stunned.

"Maybe they were dazzled and saw it wrong. Anyway, Winters and I are safe and sound," Aurora said confusedly.

The people around looked at each other, looking at Winters and Aurora with fearful admiration.This look made Winters uncomfortable.

"Okay, have any of you ever heard that flames are black? Don't be surprised," Aurora said nonchalantly.

Maybe it was true that they had never seen black flames, so no one asked what happened to the hippogriff contaminated by black magic.

After a while, Harry, Ron, and Hermione also came back. Judging from Harry's exhausted look, Wood was crazy again.

"Wood vowed to win the school year championship... Then we had lunch and dinner on the playground," Harry said tiredly.

"What's going on in his head... It's already nine o'clock in the evening. What can you see? Are you really not afraid of an accident?" Hermione said dissatisfied.

"I heard that Wood is planning to join the professional league after graduation. Someone from the Jormungandr Pythons has already talked to him," Ron said while sipping ice water.

"I don't care if he wants to give himself a good future. But there's something really wrong with his training methods." Hermione was still angry.

"But think on the bright side, if you really perform very well. At least you don't have to worry about your future. Since the Jörmungandr Pythons can notice Wood, they will definitely notice you too." Laura’s words immediately changed the surrounding atmosphere.Ron choked.

"Besides, I heard that the Jormungandr Pythons are coming." George and Fred had already slipped through the door, and the Fat Lady was complaining that they had disturbed their sleep.

"I asked why Wood was so nervous today... He thought about continuing to be the captain of the Jormungandr Pythons." Harry smiled bitterly.

"This is almost impossible. Almost all Quidditch teams are trying their best to avoid such a thing. I think he is either daydreaming, or he wants to form a team himself, although the latter is more crazy." Min said sarcastically.

Then the clock on the wall reminded them with a low buzz: it was almost 11 o'clock

The early morning sun shone into the bedroom, and when Winters woke up, he found that it was already 7:30.Their first class is Defense Against the Dark Arts at 8:00.He hurriedly woke the others.

"We're going to be late," Winter shouted. Harry had dark circles under his eyes, Ron's hair was a mess, and Neville put on his coat without even changing into his pajamas.

It was already 7:56 when they arrived at the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom.Professor Lu Ping was flipping through materials on the podium.The classroom is noisy

"Okay, it's almost time. Let's learn a very practical spell today: fainting." Professor Lupine's face was still the same.

"Can we learn the Invisibility Charm?" asked a Ravenclaw student.

"No, because it is too difficult for you. I know that some of you cast the invisibility spell silently last Friday. But what I want to say is that this spell is a very difficult spell to master. If you cast the spell An accident will be very serious when the accident occurs," Professor Luping said, glancing towards Delk.

"Come on, watch me demonstrate. When waving the wand, make a diagonal stabbing motion with force, but not too much, otherwise it will become the first half of the splitting spell." Professor Lupine said and made a short A favorable slanting stabbing movement, and then loudly chanted: "Faint to the ground!"

A dazzling red light hit the wooden dummy next to the podium, and the dummy was sent flying far away.Then Professor Lupine gave several more demonstrations.

"Okay, it's your turn. If you encounter someone who doesn't know how, just raise your hand and ask me." Lupine waved his wand, and a wooden dummy appeared in front of everyone's eyes.In an instant, red light was everywhere in the classroom, but few dummies flew out.

The dummies of Delk, Aurora, Hermione, Elsa, and Karai flew out at different speeds.Winters' dummy instantly turned black after being hit by the red light he emitted, then hit the wall and turned into scum on the ground.The dummy in front of Elaine was not hit by the red light. Instead, it flashed a red light and then hit the wall hard.Subsequently, Slytherin and Gryffindor were each awarded 30 points.

Their second class was the Care of Magical Creatures class, which was not indoors but outdoors.In a clearing in front of the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

When they arrived, they found Hagrid already waiting for them.Different from usual, Hagrid wore a brown dragon skin coat. It seemed that he had carefully prepared for this lesson.

"Quiet, everyone, look at me." Winters could clearly feel that Hagrid was trying hard to look like a professor rather than a guardian of the Forbidden Forest.

"Well... So what... I think you already know that what we are going to talk about today is about the Hippogriff..." Hagrid was interrupted by Delk before he could finish his words.

"I remember this animal is highly dangerous. I don't think you have the level to impart knowledge about this animal. Understanding magical animals requires contact with them. We are in contact with Hippogriffs and you can prevent accidents from happening If I remember correctly, you were expelled in the third year." Delk's words caused some Slytherin students to burst into laughter.But another part of Slytherin glanced at him coldly.

"How do I remember that a certain hippogriff contaminated by dark magic was your uncle's masterpiece? Your uncle Nelson has a high-level license issued by the Department for the Control of Magical Creatures. Why didn't your uncle apply for the job of Warden of the Forbidden Forest? position, but Hagrid? Didn't your uncle even go to a magic school?" Kale looked at Delk with a sneer.Many of the Slytherin students sneered.

"Don't mind our family's affairs." Delk's face could be said to be white, red, and blue. His ice-blue eyes were staring at Karai.

"Then it's your turn to take care of the teaching tasks at Hogwarts? It's also very impressive to allow a magical animal that hates black magic to be contaminated by black magic...how should I say - creativity?" Elsa laughed dryly. There was a sound.

The Slytherin students were almost on edge, and Hagrid shouted:

"Everyone be quiet... Be quiet... This is not the place for duels and quarrels... Let's start today's learning content." Hagrid's voice was loud, but Winters had a feeling that Hagrid was still a little out of his depth.

"Hippogriffs generally have a wingspan of nearly 7 meters and a height of nearly 2.6 meters. Their feathers are silver-gray, and their claws and beaks are extremely sharp.

One thing to note in particular is that they are very proud animals.And just like Elsa said just now, she is extremely disgusted with black magic.When you see these creatures, the first thing you should do is bow, and you should bow slowly, looking into their eyes intently.I'll give you a demonstration." Hagrid seemed to have regained his feeling.

Hagrid whistled, but at first nothing happened.until--

"Merlin's beard... what is that?" Pansy pointed to the sky in horror.

Everyone looked in the direction Pansy was pointing, and an animal that looked like a raptor was flying towards them, but it was obvious that the animal was not a raptor, because everyone could hear the sound of flapping wings.

As the sound of flapping wings became louder and louder, the figure of the "raptor" became stronger and clearer, and became larger and larger.An animal with a blade-like beak, saber-like talons, and sharp, bright, bulb-like eagle eyes landed next to Hagrid.Against this beast, Hagrid didn't look burly at all.

The hippogriff was scanning the surroundings majestically. When it saw Winters, it immediately let out a sharp roar, appearing very angry.

"Quiet, Buckbeak. You tinderbox - everyone, watch me show you," Hagrid yelled.

Then Hagrid turned around, walked to a place about 7 meters away from Buckbeak, and bowed slowly, and while he bowed, he kept looking at Buckbeak.

Then, the Hippogriff smacked his lips impatiently.He also bent his front legs and slowly bowed towards Hagrid.Then everyone but Winters cheered.

At this time, Winters had only one thought in his mind: He was going to be out of luck.

Hagrid seemed to notice something was wrong with Winters, and he walked over.

"Although the Hippogriff is scary, he is also a very intelligent animal. Come on, Harry, show Winters an example."

"What? Me?... Of course... Of course" Harry was caught off guard.

Harry walked over slowly and stopped where Hagrid had stopped.Then he looked at Buckbeak intently, and then bowed slowly.It returned the same greeting to Harry as before.

"Okay, we just said that the Hippogriff is very intelligent. Where does this wisdom manifest itself? Who can tell me?" Hagrid said with a smile.

"They are extremely sensitive to direction and can remember the way they came," Hermione said first.

"Ten points for Gryffindor," Hagrid said happily.Winters already realized what Hagrid was going to do next.

"Harry, you show everyone" Hagrid said and put Harry on Buckbeak's back.Then he patted Buckbeak on the back.

The hippogriff carried Harry, who was howling in fear, and rushed into the sky like a silver arrow, quickly turning into a small black dot and disappearing.

It might have been 10 minutes, or it might have been 5 minutes, when a small black dot appeared in their field of vision again.

"I press 2 Turner. Potter has probably been reunited with his Mudblood mother," Malfoy said viciously.

After a while, the little black spot grew bigger and bigger, and Buckbeak came back with Harry.Harry was very excited, as if he had just won a game of Quidditch, and his hair became even messier.

"See? Winters, Harry has already demonstrated it to you, it's your turn" Hagrid encouraged Winters.

"Don't worry, it'll be no problem. When it comes to exposure to dark magic, I'm no less experienced than you." Harry was also encouraging Winters.

Winters walked as if sleepwalking to where Harry had been standing just now.Then follow Harry's lead and bow to Buck proportions.

But this time Buckbeak didn't respond. Instead, he tilted his head and looked at Winters, seeming to examine him.Then Winters saw Buckbeak approaching him step by step, appearing very cautious.

Buckbeak bowed to Winters when he was 2 meters away.Winters nearly collapsed when he saw Buckbeak bow to him.He did face a basilisk, but the basilisk had been eroded by black magic and was in dilapidated form.But facing a 2.6-meter-tall beast with saber-like claws at such a close distance, he still felt extremely frightened.

Buckbeak seemed to sense Winters' fears and even his thoughts.This magical animal actually started to make a purring sound.

"What does this mean?" Winters asked Hagrid in a panic.

"He was confused. Because he felt the power of dark magic... and it was extremely powerful. But it didn't think you were a bad person... If it came into contact with you, he would be attacked by other hawks. Winged beasts exclude... In short... He doesn't think you are a bad person, but the dark magic in you is too strong... He is very hesitant... I think..." Hagrid was interrupted by Malfoy. .

"I want to see if this beast is smart." Malfoy walked towards Buckbeak in a swagger, before Hagrid could stop him.

The hippogriff roared angrily.Then Malfoy's screams were heard.Buckbeak's sharp talons hit Malfoy's arm directly, and Malfoy immediately fell to the ground, rolling in pain.Then Winters noticed a lot of red stuff on the grass. When he looked carefully, he realized it was blood.

"Come on, come on, you bastard" Hagrid used beef to distract Buckbeak.Malfoy was wailing on the ground, and a boy shouted in horror: Professor, he needs to go to the school doctor's office immediately, I can. . . .You can see his bones.”

Everyone gasped, and Hagrid hurriedly picked up Malfoy and ran towards the school doctor's office.

After Hagrid moved away, Delk sneered and said: "How do I remember that magical animals that attack humans will be executed?" When he spoke, hatred flashed in his eyes.
