Admiral of Hogwarts

248 Threats and Responses

It only took Hugo five minutes to successfully make Hagrid realize the risks involved in bringing 12 Hippogriffs to teach a group of third-year students who were not very controlled.

To be honest, Hagrid is indeed prone to losing sight of things when thinking about problems, and sometimes he is very stubborn. But it's not that difficult to convince him if you can find the right words.

"Okay, I thought it was a bit simple at the time." After Hugo reminded these students who had not been trained in this area of ​​uncontrollability and the difficulty of one person controlling 12 Hippogriffs at the same time, Hagrid scratched his hair and said.

"To be honest, I just wanted to leave a deep impression on everyone in the first class. I really didn't consider that the students are different from me, and not everyone can get close to these beautiful big guys."

So in the class half an hour later, Hagrid only brought Buckbeak and a Hippogriff as an example to explain to everyone in class.

At the same time, during the next interaction, he asked everyone to come forward in groups, and then learn how to deal with the Hippogriff under his close guidance and protection.

"Okay, I think you have mastered how to deal with this magical creature. Now it's time for practice." Hagrid said while rubbing his hands. "If you want to get closer..."

Perhaps because these hippogriffs were indeed a bit more ferocious, most people did not want to get close to them. Only Hugo, Veneto and Hermione strode forward.

Of course, Harry and Ron also walked up, but they fell behind Hugo and the others probably out of fear.

"Well done, Grangers, and Ms. Veneto." Hagrid took off Buckbeak's chain, and then asked Hugo and the others to approach the hippogriff according to the method he taught them just now.

Everything went smoothly. After the three bowed, Buckbeak returned the bow and then stepped forward to pat his beak.

"Have you seen it? This kind of magical creature does have its dangerous side, but if we master the correct method, we can still get close to them." After Hugo and the three of them finished their actions, Hagrid shouted to everyone .

Because they saw Hugo and his group successfully completing the scheduled actions in class, especially since they were not Gryffindors who are known for their courage. So the remaining students immediately formed small teams and came forward to bow.

Perhaps because Harry was not the first one to appear this time, Malfoy, who fell in love with him and killed him, did not say anything dirty, but just bowed reluctantly to the big monster in his eyes.

Obviously this attitude would not satisfy Buckbeak, so Buckbeak spread his wings looking a little unhappy. As a result, Malfoy was so frightened that he took a few steps back and then fell to the ground on his back.

"Back, my back hurts so much." Because there was a protruding stone below, Malfoy was hit by the stone on his back when he fell, causing him to twitch on the ground in pain.

"Let it go, let it go -" The moment he realized something was wrong, Hagrid pulled Buckbeak behind and tied him to a tree, and then walked to Malfoy, who was screaming on the ground.

Then Hagrid bent down to check him, and then said: "This is probably because the ribs at the back were fractured or cracked after hitting the stone. It's not a big problem. I believe Madam Pomfrey can cure you in an instant. "

After that, Hagrid picked up Malfoy and took everyone to the vicinity of his house outside the Forbidden Forest and asked everyone to wait here. Then one person took Malfoy and walked towards the castle.

"Is Malfoy so cowardly?" After Hagrid left, Dean Thomas laughed loudly, completely ignoring the threatening expressions on Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy's faces.

Ten minutes later, Hagrid came back again and continued the class until the bell rang.

By the time the class was over and everyone was having dinner, the story about Malfoy being frightened by a Hippogriff and falling straight down in the Care of Magical Creatures class had spread all over the school, and there were several versions.

"I heard that Malfoy, a third-year Slytherin, was so frightened by a Hippogriff that he peed his pants in class, so he went back to the castle to change his pants during class?" Marietta asked at the dinner table. "is this real?"

"I just fell down because I was scared." Hermione said with a smile on her face. "All of us saw the hippogriff named Buckbeak flapping its wings two or three meters away from Malfoy, and Malfoy fell to the ground."

The change in this matter today brought Hugo two destiny points, in addition to causing Malfoy to die directly. So the school was calm for the next time.

Malfoy, not to mention shouting about killing Buckbeak like in the original text, during this period, he even tried to avoid everyone except during class time to avoid others mentioning what he did in the Care of Magical Creatures class. for.

"Did you hear? This morning's Daily Prophet - they estimate that Sirius Black has been targeted." Susan of Hufflepuff whispered in the Potions class.

Although Hugo was several desks away from her, the stacking of portraits had strengthened his hearing enough to allow him to hear sounds that were not much louder than the sound of mosquitoes.

It turned out that Sirius was found in a town not far from here. Although the finder called the police, there was still a delay when the news was transferred to the Ministry of Magic, so the Aurors had already run away when they arrived.

"It seems that Sirius is still the same as before, hoping to come to the school to catch Peter Pedro." Hugo thought as he watched Snape step forward to clean up the group of Hufflepuffs who were whispering underneath. "This is just an opportunity—"

"What did you say? We are going to practice shooting now!" During the weekend practice in the Response Room, Hermione, who had just finished her warm-up exercises, heard unexpected news from Veneto.

"Yes, because if you read the Daily Prophet, you will find that the other party is heading towards Hogwarts from the south." Venato said calmly, looking at the shocked Hermione.

"I don't think I need to tell you the dangers of a violent person who can kill a dozen people at will, so we have to do something to protect ourselves."

"I think we could practice some magic-" Hermione said after thinking for a few seconds, but was interrupted by Hugo before she could finish her words.

"My dear sister, although based on the knowledge we have learned and the training we have experienced, we are much stronger than most of our peers in combat, but we are still inferior to a long-famous dark wizard. Quite a few.”

"So I think that if magic cannot reach a certain level in a short period of time, we can consider taking some other methods to temporarily improve our combat capabilities."

"You just want to play with guns." Hermione stared at Hugo, then turned to Veneto and asked. "If I remember correctly, a top dark wizard like Sirius should be able to ignore firearms."

"Yes, that's right, but the special bullets are different." Veneto pointed at Hugo and said. "Although his current level is insufficient, it is not difficult to make an alchemical bullet that is equivalent to a coma spell."

"In this case, even if the bullet cannot cause much damage to the dark wizard, it can buy enough time for us to cast a spell to escape or call for help."

"And as Hugo's alchemy abilities further improve, the extra pistol can even function as an extra wand, giving him the upper hand in various emergencies."

"If that's the case, then it's also a good thing to learn how to use firearms." Hermione thought for a few seconds and then raised her head and said to Veneto, "Please teach us how to use firearms."
