All day Sunday, Fish and Hermione basically stayed in the Forbidden Forest, and didn't return to the dormitory until late at night. And on Monday night, when Hermione went to organize the activities of the Cat Club, Fish did not follow, but continued to teach Glop the alphabet in the Forbidden Forest.
After a day and two nights of teaching by Fisch, and Hagrid also took some time to teach during the day on Monday, Gropp finally recognized the twenty-six letters.
In fact, if you really want to count, Gropp's speed is faster than Fish's at the beginning, because Maomao was not as obedient as Gropp at the beginning, and Professor McGonagall lured him in different ways for several days before letting him off intermittently. Maomao learned the twenty-six letters.
By Tuesday, Harry and the others were worried when they went to Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class, very worried that he would create some troublesome animals again, and even more worried about other students, especially Malfoy and his henchmen in Um Richie's performance in class.
However, when they walked towards Hagrid who was waiting at the edge of the woods on the snow, they didn't see Umbridge nearby. Hagrid's appearance was not reassuring, because he was still carrying a dead cow on his shoulders.
Before Harry and the others could breathe a sigh of relief, Hagrid said cheerfully: "We have class here today!" He shook his head towards the dark wood behind him, "The wood is a bit dense! But, They like the dark"
Harry's heart tightened suddenly, this introduction did not sound like a kind animal.
And the expressions of the other students were not very good, especially the Slytherin side, who let out a low whine of complaint.
Except that Hagrid didn't think much of it at all. He glanced around the class blithely and said, "I've saved a field trip to the woods for you fifth graders, and I want you to see how these animals live in their natural environment. Today we're going to study The animals are very rarebut you have already encountered them."
As he spoke, he strode into the forest with the dead cow on his shoulders.
"Oh!" Hermione let out a low cry, guessing the creature that Hagrid was going to bring them to learn today.
Although it is a bit out of class, for Hagrid, this is indeed a very safe animal.
So Hermione immediately relaxed, and Fish followed Hagrid into the woods.
The other girls followed without hesitation, while the boys had no choice but to follow up.
After walking for about ten minutes, I came to a place with dense forests and as dark as dusk, and there was not a single snow on the ground. Hagrid dropped the dead cow to the ground with a groan, took two steps back, and turned to face the class.
Arriving here, many students' expressions have already relaxed, because they have all been here with Fish, and they have guessed what the animals they are going to know today are.
"It seems that you have already guessed it," Hagrid pouted a little disappointedly, and said, "That's right, the magical animal we are going to meet today is thestrals."
Those students who hadn't guessed it suddenly realized that because of Fish, Hogwarts students already knew that a group of Thestrals were responsible for pulling the carriage every year at the beginning of school, and many of them even followed Fish Flying across the sky on a Thestral, naturally no one would believe in their ominous superstition.
"Will Twilight Sparkle come?" Parvati asked excitedly, "That's my name when I rode a Thestral last time. Fish said she was the daughter of the Thestral leader!"
"What's so strange about this, Wuwu has several descendants, and it's not like we haven't ridden before." Pan Xi couldn't understand her frightened appearance, and said with a roll of her eyes.
Hagrid ignored the tit-for-tat confrontation between the two house girls, shaking his head to shake the hair from his face, and let out a strange, shrill cry. The sound echoed in the dark woods, like the chirping of a giant bird.
Probably because of the habit I taught Gropp to develop in the past two days, Fish suddenly broke the stage and said: "Hagrid, your pronunciation is wrong meow. shout
Anyway, other people can't hear the difference.
Hagrid stroked his beard in embarrassment, but fortunately, it wasn't the first time he was demolished by Mao Mao, so he was only embarrassed for a while before recovering.
After a while, Fish suddenly looked up into the sky, and the others followed suit, but everyone saw nothing, except for Hagrid, Neville, and a Slytherin named Theodore Noah special boys.
A dozen or so thestrals flapped their huge wings and descended from the sky. Although others couldn't see them, they felt the air current they created when they flapped their wings.
"Meow ha ha ha! Wuwu, you are here, meow!"
?(?¨R?¨Q?)?
Fish cheered and ran over, patting this and touching that.
And those thestrals also intimately touched Fisch's cheek and neck with their beak-like mouths.
"Very well, they have already arrived, but I seem to be short of the food I prepared." Hagrid clapped his hands and said, "Well, if you can see the Thestrals, please raise your hand for me to see. "
"Fish your special situation doesn't count and you, Neville? And, Nott?" Hagrid glanced around, then looked at the two of them and asked, "Then, you should know your own Why can I see thestrals?"
"I don't know! Fish can see them from the beginning, meow!"
(`w¡ä¡Ô`w¡ä)
Mao Mao shook her head and replied confidently.
Hagrid ignored him, but continued to look at Neville and Nott.
The thin and tall Theodore Nott nodded with an unhappy expression, and while nodding, Neville replied in a low voice: "Because I saw my grandpa passed away"
"Yes," Hagrid said with a cheerful look, and he said with a smile, "Only those who have seen death can see the Thestrals. Thestrals"
"Cough, cough."
A familiar cough sounded, and Umbridge appeared a few feet away from Harry, still in her green hat and green cloak, her clipboard in hand.
"Oh, hello!" Hagrid smiled, not offended at her interrupting his lecture.
However, Umbridge did not accept Hagrid's kindness, and she continued to criticize Hagrid's lessons in the following lessons.
Originally, with Hagrid's clumsy tongue, he had no ability to refute Umbridge's deliberate targeting. It's just that he would be pulled down by Fisch from time to time during class, so he still exercised a little bit of quick wit. Although he was still affected, he barely accepted Umbridge's tricky questions.
Naturally, Umbridge wouldn't let Hagrid go so easily. She imitated Rita Skeeter's way of writing news, deliberately distorted some of Hagrid's answers, and wrote them down on her clipboard ¡she just wanted to make Hagrid a mentally retarded troll just because Hagrid was of giant blood.
Then she wandered among the students again, inducing everyone to speak ill of Hagrid
"What do you think of them?" Umbridge asked Nott, who could see the Thestrals, and squeezed his throat.
"Thestrals are very friendly," but Nott didn't cooperate. He stroked one of the thestrals and replied, "They always drag us from Hogsmeade when school starts, and there has never been a thestral attacking a student situation."
Even Malfoy replied: "While Hagrid's teaching lessons are open to question, there is nothing wrong with the Thestrals at Hogwarts. I have been riding in the carts they pull for several years, and even rode them in the sky. However, nothing unfortunate happened."
After asking around, Umbridge's expression was very ugly. Although she had collected a lot of information that was not good for Hagrid, the whole process was not as smooth as she expected
The Slytherin students were actually speaking for Hagrid! Obviously, in Professor Graplan's class before, they still had various opinions!
Umbridge, who completely missed the point, actually thought that the students of Slytherin were starting to favor Dumbledore, and this probably represented the intention of the pure-blood family behind them
Umbridge suspected that Dumbledore might have done something during his hospitalization, otherwise Slytherin's attitude would not have changed so obviously.
"You will receive the results of your investigation within ten days." Umbridge, who had completely lost his mind, said to Hagrid with a gloomy expression.
Then she hurried out from among the students and left the Forbidden Forest.
She must tell Minister Fudge what she found as soon as possible!
