Ancient Warlocks at Hogwarts

After entering their third year, except for a few more electives, nothing seemed to have changed for Harry and Ron.

But after the first Divination class, Harry's expression completely changed.

During lunch that day, the savior came to Andre with a pale face. He told his friend that Professor Trelawney had talked about his death in class.

"Big black dog?" Andre raised his eyebrows. He didn't expect that this sign would appear in Harry's first Divination class, but there were no prisoners from Azkaban or a group of photographers this semester. Ghosts are wandering around the school.

In fact, Andre didn't pay much attention to Trelawney, a prophet who was sometimes ineffective. Even if she made a fairly correct prediction more than ten years ago, Andre didn't think that she was a prophet. A true prophet, maybe she does have such a talent, but she is unable to use her talent correctly.

"Could it be related to Sirius?" To Andre's expectation, Harry was not really worried about himself, but his godfather. "You know, Sirius' Animagus is a Big dog, and he’s been tracking Voldemort recently.”

Andre was also not sure whether the omen Harry saw in the tea cup foreshadowed what kind of crisis Sirius would encounter. After all, the mission he was currently undertaking did have a high possibility of accidents. Voldemort's strength was said to have been restored to half. For a junior warlock, even if it is only half the strength, it is probably not something that an ordinary wizard like Sirius can withstand.

But since Dumbledore can rest assured that Sirius will continue to pursue the case, then the principal must be prepared for this. It is of no use for Harry to worry about this in school.

Not to mention, Andre has always scorned tea leaf divination, otherwise he wouldn't even choose this course.

So he comforted Harry that this was probably just a coincidence and there was no need to pay too much attention to it.

But even with Andre's persuasion, Harry was still immersed in worry in the next few days, and even Ron couldn't relieve his worries.

Fortunately, they had Hagrid's first Care of Magical Creatures lesson afterwards, which somewhat cheered Harry up.

The Care of Magical Creatures course was not held in the castle, but at the edge of Hagrid's hut, which was already on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Under the leadership of Hagrid, everyone came to a place similar to a paddock.

"Everyone come to this fence," the hybrid giant loudly greeted the students: "That's right - stand where you can see. Now, the first thing you have to do is open the book."

"How to open it?" It was Draco Malfoy who asked this question. Yes, Gryffindor was unfortunately assigned to Slytherin students again in this class. For the little lions, this was also It's a kind of torture.

"Huh?" Hagrid obviously didn't expect that students would be confused about opening a book.

"How do we open the book?" Malfoy continued to ask. He took out his "Monster Book of Monsters". The thick book was already tightly tied with a rope.

Other students also performed similar operations. Obviously, they could only deal with this biting book in this way.

"No...I mean, no one can open this book?" Hagrid was a little disappointed, and his furry head hung down.

"You can open it by just stroking the spine of the book," Andre said at this time: "Or do you mean you don't even know such a simple thing, Malfoy?"

If this sentence was said by Hagrid, then the eldest son of the Malfoy family would probably be sarcastic immediately, but facing Andre, a classmate who had repeatedly taught him lessons, Draco could only close his eyes and think There are not many people in this school that he is afraid of if he wants to speak, but Andre is one of them.

"That's right, that's right," Hagrid was obviously very happy that someone could tell how to open the "Monster Book of Monsters". He said excitedly: "Ten points for Gryffindor, the way Mr. Ivanov said. It’s correct, now everyone can open their own textbooks according to this method.”

Without Malfoy causing trouble, other Slytherin students did not dare to speak rudely in front of a professor, so everyone obediently rubbed their hands on the spines of the books, and then a miracle happened. Even though they were tied up with ropes, Or the book that was caught by the clip, which was also resisting fiercely, shook slightly after this, and then became quiet.

"Very good, very good." Hagrid seemed very satisfied with the progress of his teaching. He patted his thick palms and continued: "Now that you all have books, what we still need are magical animals. I’m going to bring them here, wait a minute.”

After saying that, he turned around and walked into the woods. It was obvious that the magical animals he wanted to show the students were in the woods.

"Oh my God, this place is going to hell," Malfoy said loudly immediately after Hagrid left: "A fool like this can be a professor. If I tell my father, he won't lose his temper..." "

"Malfoy, if I remember correctly, your father has been dismissed from his position as Hogwarts School Director." Andre couldn't figure out why this kid would dare to do this even if he knew he was here. He taunted loudly, did he not get enough lessons, or did he feel that in public, Andre did not dare to do anything, "So, whether your father loses his temper or not, what does it have to do with us?"

This sentence immediately stunned Malfoy. Apparently after the most difficult period of the last semester passed, he had selectively forgotten about Lucius Malfoy's removal from the position of school director.

When Harry and the others saw this scene, they couldn't help laughing. This was obviously a bigger mockery of Malfoy, but due to Andre's power, he couldn't retort.

What's more, what the other party said is indeed true. After the incident last year, Lucius paid a large fine in order to evade punishment from the Ministry of Magic. First, the status of the Malfoy family in the British wizarding world plummeted, and many people They didn't dare to associate with them anymore, after all, this was an issue involving Death Eaters.

If it was just like in the original book, threatening other school directors with bribes and revoking Dumbledore's position as principal, then this could only be regarded as a political struggle at best and would not cause much harm to the Malfoy family.

Valley</span>But the current situation is completely different because of the existence of Larry Farley.

This gentleman who had been to Malfoy Manor personally admitted that he was a Death Eater. Although there was no actual evidence to prove that Lucius had any shady transactions with the other party, he just had communication with the other party. It was enough to force the Malfoy family into hibernation for the time being.

Of course, this is all a matter between adults. For Draco, he does not have such a deep understanding. The only thing he can understand is that he can no longer provoke Andre casually in school, although there is no one behind him. He has a distinguished family, but his status as a recipient of the Order of Merlin, Level [-], is special enough, especially when this recipient is still a student at school.

"Oh oh oh!" Just as Malfoy was still suppressing his anger, Hermione's roommate, Miss Lavender Brown, suddenly let out a series of screams. She pointed to the opposite side of the paddock, where Hagrid was A place that just disappeared.

Twelve grotesque creatures came walking briskly. Most of the students here had never seen such magical animals.

They have the body, hind legs and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings and head seem to be that of an eagle. They have sharp beaks the color of steel and big bright orange eyes.

The claws on their front legs are half a foot long, and they look very aggressive.Each beast had a thick feather collar around its neck, with a long iron chain tied to it. The ends of these chains were held in Hagrid's hand. He followed slowly behind the animals. Trotted to the paddock.

"Get over there!" Hagrid yelled at the animals, shaking the chain in his hand, and calling for them to come to the fence where the students were standing.

After he tied the chain in his hand to the fence, the students directly opposite took a few steps back in fear. After all, these animals did not look like species that needed protection. Apart from Andre, there were probably also No one can defeat them.

"Hippogriffs!" But Hagrid didn't seem to notice this. He said happily: "They are beautiful, aren't they?"

If you put aside your fear of these behemoths, then judging from their shiny fur, strong muscles, and proud posture, you must admit that these twelve hippogriffs are indeed very beautiful magical animals. .

But the problem is that, with the exception of Andre, most of the students are unable to let go of their fear of these animals, even Harry, who is always bold and amazing.

"Well, if you want to come closer..." Hagrid wiped his two big hands and said to all the students.

But no one seemed to want to do this. Andre looked helplessly at the students who took a step back. Of course he would not be afraid of these hippogriffs. As a student who had even hunted fire dragons, this The only magical animal in the world that can scare him is probably the legendary monster like Leviathan.

But to his expectation, Harry, Ron and Hermione, although their faces were still a little nervous, but in view of their trust in Hagrid, they still walked towards the fence cautiously.

"Okay," Hagrid was not frustrated by this. He began to explain to the students: "You must know one thing about hippogriffs. They are proud. Never offend hippogriffs. , because that’s probably the last thing you want to do.”

Andre knew that this magical animal had its own personality, and what Hagrid described was also the correct way to treat this creature, but he had an easier way. If it was before, then he only had to let go of the Holy Oak in his body a little. If it produces a trace of dragon power, it can make this creature surrender. Of course, now his holy acorn fused with the Hungarian Horntail Dragon has been taken away by Stephanie, but now the remaining one fused with the dragon's power is The sacred acorn with Vitan characteristics is obviously more powerful. As a first-generation magical creature that survived ancient times, Leviathan's majesty can even make fire dragons surrender. He has already experimented with Norbeta before.

Even with the strength of the little female dragon, she did not dare to make the slightest move when faced with the pressure of Leviathan.

Of course, his method only applies to himself. At most, he can add Sophia who is fused with the power of Leviathan's blood. Others are better off following Hagrid's teachings. After all, most of the students here can't even do anything. Fighting an attack from a Hippogriff.

However, Malfoy didn't seem to think so. He didn't listen to Hagrid at all and was still whispering to his two followers.

Andre knew that if no other accidents occurred later, Malfoy would undoubtedly be injured by one of the hippogriffs because of his arrogance, although he really wanted to let the eldest son of the Malfoy family The young master needs to learn a lesson, but after all, this is Hagrid's first lesson, and Andre doesn't want to spoil his interest because of him.

Although Lucius's status in the British magical world is far less than before, their family's wealth is still very considerable. If the other party wants to deal with a magical animal, then I am afraid there are still a lot of means, and Hagrid certainly has no way to stop it. .

So no matter what the considerations were, Andre would not let Malfoy really get hurt later.

"You always have to wait until the hippogriff makes the first move," Hagrid continued. "It's polite, you know? You walk up to it, you bow, and then you wait, and if it bows back to you, You can touch it, and if it doesn't bow, get away because those claws are going to hurt, okay, who's the first one?"

It seemed that no one wanted to be the first to face these scary-looking animals. Even Harry, Ron and Hermione were a little scared, especially when these monsters flapped their huge wings and shook their heads angrily. .

"Is there no one?" Hagrid was a little disappointed. He turned his attention to Andre and

"Okay, I'll do it." Andre sighed. Of course he didn't want Hagrid to fail his first lesson, but to be honest, he actually didn't have much interest in these hippogriffs anymore. After all, to him, this kind of creature poses no danger at all. In essence, his hobbies are similar to Hagrid's. The more ferocious and terrifying animals are, the more aroused his interest is.

After experiencing a giant beast like Leviathan, there seemed to be fewer and fewer magical animals in the world that could bring him excitement.

"Well done, Andre," Hagrid called, "well, let's see how you get on with that monster called Buckbeak."

As he spoke, he untied an iron chain, dragged the hippogriff named Buckbeak away from his companions, and took off the collar from its neck.
