Hogwarts: I graduated before the system came

Chapter 190 Hippogriff——Little Gray

As they walked across the wet grass, they arrived in front of Hagrid's hut.

After Douglas knocked on the door, a rough roar came from inside:

"Come in, the door is unlocked."

Douglas pushed the door open and found Hagrid, who was rarely seen wearing a formal shirt, sitting at a clean wooden table.

When his hound Fang saw Douglas, he whimpered a few times, lifted his head from Hagrid's legs, walked over to Douglas, bit Douglas's trouser leg, and pulled him towards Hagrid.

Douglas smelled the alcohol in the room and said to the three little ones behind him:

"Stand outside first, don't close the door."

Then he snapped his fingers, and gusts of wind rose out of thin air, circled around the room, and flew towards the door.

About five minutes later, the smell of alcohol in the room barely dissipated.

During this time, Hagrid kept his head down and said nothing.

Douglas waved his hand, and the large pewter tankard on the table, the size of a bucket, flew into the corner of the room.

Then he sat down by himself. At this time, the three little ones stood at the door and looked inside.

As Douglas sat down, Hagrid raised his dizzy head. His eyes seemed blurry and he finally saw that it was Douglas.

Said in a muffled voice

"I think I've broken the record. No teacher has ever taught for only one day before."

Douglas smiled and said:

"I thought you could break Professor Kettleburn's record of 62 stays for inspection."

Hagrid chuckled when he heard this, then said pitifully, very sadly:

"I think it's only a matter of time before I'm expelled. Madam Pomfrey has done her best to treat him, but he still says he's in excruciating pain and groans in the bandages... Hey, where's my wine glass?"

As Hagrid was speaking, he was about to grab the wine glass, intending to take another sip to ease the pain in his heart, but suddenly found that he had grabbed nothing.

Douglas pulled a small gourd from his pocket and poured out a pill, but then looked at Hagrid and poured out five pills.

"Open your mouth!"

Hagrid subconsciously opened his mouth, and saw several pills flying into his mouth quickly.

Before he could chew it a few times, the pill quickly melted in his mouth.

"What kind of candy is this? Not only is it not as sweet as regular candy, it also melts faster than regular candy."

Hagrid didn't feel anything was wrong for a while, but the three people outside the room and Douglas could clearly see that Hagrid was regaining consciousness at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Douglas looked at Hagrid carefully, then said:

"This is a hangover sobering pill I made. It's easier to carry than a hangover potion, and its effect is even better than an ordinary hangover potion."

Hagrid suddenly remembered the taste of the hangover potion and commented:

"What's wrong with your brain? You made a hangover pill taste like candy. The texture is a little off, not chewy at all."

At this time, Harry saw that Hagrid had finally woken up, so he walked in and said:

"Madame Pomfrey can heal any injury. Last year, I lost a bone, and she was able to make it grow back. Malfoy must want to make a big fuss about this..."

Douglas coughed lightly and turned his face away. If he had known about his relationship with Harry last year, he would never have used any method to make Dobby appear. In the final analysis, this matter was still Dumbledore's fault.

After hearing what Harry said, Hagrid said sadly again:

“I guessed it… I guessed it a long time ago, his father is the school director.

They thought I was being too big at the beginning and that I should leave the Hippogriff for a later class and start with something like Flobberworm.

I just wanted to make the first class more exciting, and I remember Professor Kettleburn teaching like this... This is all my fault..."

Douglas rolled his eyes and said helplessly:

"But you forgot that Professor Kettleburn stayed on to observe 62 times..."

At this time Hermione said sincerely:

"It's not your fault, Malfoy deserves it!"

Harry then said:

"We are all witnesses. You have already said that if the Hippogriff is offended, it will attack. It's Malfoy's fault for not listening carefully.

Uncle, you should tell Dumbledore what happened, he will definitely help Hagrid."

Ron also said:

"Yeah, we'll all be behind you, Hagrid!"

Just as the tears in Hagrid's small black eyes were running across his crow's feet.

Douglas snorted coldly and said sternly:

"Whatever you say, Hagrid is a professor, and a professor's most basic duty is to ensure the safety of his students.

No matter what Mr. Malfoy did, it was ultimately Hagrid's problem.

Hagrid, hold back your tears... You are already in your forties, why are you crying over such a small matter, and you are still drinking..."

The people in the room were startled by Douglas' voice. Hagrid quickly sniffed and wiped away his tears.

Harry looked at Douglas in surprise and said:

"Uncle!"

Douglas said angrily:

"I asked you to come here to comfort Hagrid and help him come up with a new class schedule, not to start conspiracy theories.

Remember this: when you assume the greatest malice towards others, no matter whether they are bad people or not, they are already bad people.

Of course, we should not have the intention to harm others, but we must be on guard against others. I will talk to Mr. Malfoy about this matter."

Hermione wanted to say something, but after hearing Douglas's last words, she shut her mouth.

He also pulled Harry and Ron and told them not to talk too much.

Hagrid felt relieved when he heard that Douglas wanted to help. In his opinion, with Douglas's intelligence, he would definitely be able to convince Draco Malfoy and Lucius Malfoy behind him.

After all, a few months ago, after Douglas and Lucius Malfoy had a private conversation, the Malfoy family's ancestral house-elf became the Douglas family's butler.

But then he said worriedly:

"But even so, something might still happen to Buckbeak. According to the Ministry of Magic's regulations, magical animals that harm people are likely to be sentenced to death."

He was afraid that Douglas would be unwilling to help, so he quickly added:

"Buckbeak is Little Gray..."

Douglas was stunned and asked in surprise:

"Why did it change its name?"

Hagrid said helplessly:

"Besides you, it doesn't like anyone calling it that. Every time I called it Little Gray, it ignored me. Finally, I gave it a new name."

Buckbeak, also known as Little Gray, is a hippogriff who was born when Douglas was in the fifth grade. At that time, Hagrid brought Douglas and three others to visit Buckbeak who had just been born.

Seeing that the other person was dressed in gray, Douglas casually called him Xiao Huihui.

However, Buckbeak initially rejected the name and even rebelled when he was only one year old.

But after Douglas crushed him in all aspects, the other party finally accepted the name Xiao Huihui.

However, he only allowed Douglas to call him that, so Hagrid had no choice but to privately give him the name Buckbeak again.

Last semester, Douglas used Animagus to compete with Xiao Huihui twice again.

At this time, Douglas also remembered some general things in the original book, as if the Ministry of Magic did want to kill Little Gray, but was finally rescued by Hermione using a time turner.

PS:

Hangover Potion: This is a test product created by Professor Holmes based on Eastern pharmaceutical methods combined with Western magic potion materials. Currently, the only known clinical tester is Hagrid.

The clinical performance is good and the efficacy is significant, but the taste needs to be improved.

Chapter 191 Hagrid: Don't worry, I will keep it a secret

Douglas didn't hesitate any longer and took the responsibility on himself.

Then we return to the original question.

"Hagrid, what are your plans for the rest of the class? Can I see them?"

Hagrid quickly stood up and took out the lesson plan he had written earlier.

"Aha, look at this... this is from the third grade."

Douglas took the parchment and saw a string of names on it.

The first was a hippogriff, the second was a harpy, the third was a salamander...

Hagrid explained:

"I'm very familiar with these little cuties, so I haven't written any lesson plans, but I will have students refer to 'The Monster Book of Monsters'."

Douglas couldn't bear to watch any longer. Hagrid's understanding of biological dangers was even more serious than Professor Kettleburn's.

At least Professor Kettleburn would put Salamanders in his fifth-year class.

Seeing Hagrid pointing to a green-covered book tied up and placed in the corner, he immediately understood that this book itself was a book introducing terrible creatures.

Douglas felt that he should have taken a closer look at Harry's shopping list for school when he was at home.

He put down the parchment in his hand, looked at Hagrid seriously and said:

"Hagrid, this is your lesson plan, and as a colleague I shouldn't dictate what to do.

But as a friend, I have to say that your plan is terrible. It doesn't take into account the cognitive abilities of third graders at all...

I think you should first formulate a "Code of Conduct for Care of Magical Creatures Classrooms" and have all students who come to the Forbidden Forest to learn and memorize it in advance.

And you need to recite it before each class, or you can read it once before. If you can't do it, you are not allowed to attend the class. Don't forget that you are a professor now, and this is your right to exercise. "

Secondly, you should let students have some understanding of the creatures they are studying before class. You don’t expect them to know a lot, but at least their place of origin, living habits, physical characteristics, etc.

After all, for most students, suddenly being exposed to a magical animal they have never seen before is just a way of watching the fun.

If he knew something about this magical creature in advance, he would learn more when he came into contact with it, instead of pointing to the textbook and saying stupidly, "Oh, I've seen this kind of animal..."

Hagrid was taking notes seriously. When he heard Douglas say this, he quickly explained:

"But I asked a question before class and Hermione answered it."

Douglas knocked on the table and said:

"That was just Hermione. Think carefully, when Hermione was talking, how many people present were listening carefully?

Your goal should be for everyone to know, rather than for something that should be known to everyone and only one person to answer.

Hagrid's eyes drifted towards Harry and Ron, who quickly took a step back.

This made Hagrid laugh.

Douglas frowned slightly, then sighed.

Seeing Douglas's expression, Hagrid quickly put away his smile and said:

"But this is my first class...Okay, I've already messed up, so what am I going to do next week?"

Douglas stared and pointed at the first line of the parchment in Hagrid's hand.

It says to create a "Care of Magical Creatures Classroom Code of Conduct"...

Douglas said to Hermione:

"You've probably been to a zoo in the Muggle world, right?"

Hermione nodded quickly, then said with a look of understanding:

"Professor, you want to follow the zoo's code of conduct, but for students, that code is more like an employee code than a visitor code. I haven't read the content of the employee code."
