Chapter 216 Hagrid's Class
Chapter 216 Hagrid's Class
Hagrid was a little overwhelmed by the students' questioning. As if to escape, he ran and led a group of hippogriffs, more than a dozen of them.
Each beast had a thick collar around its neck and was locked with a thick iron chain. The other ends of all the dozen or so chains were gathered in Hagrid's hands.
The beasts trotted ahead, and Hagrid held them back by the chains, preventing them from running away.
The students were immediately attracted by these ferocious beasts. They were about the size of an adult horse, and their hind half did look like a horse, but their front legs were eagle legs and feet as thick as a horse's legs, and their half-foot-long claws did not look like they could be used for massage.
From the shoulder blades forward, it all looks like an eagle, including the wings, neck, head, and beak!
The sharp beak is like a steel guillotine, and the pair of bright yellow eyes make students both afraid and happy.
Hagrid gradually got into the state and began to teach the students how to get along with these ferocious monsters, how to look into their eyes without blinking quickly, how to bow to them, how to wait for them to return the greeting, and so on.
"It is important to note that hippogriffs are very proud. Don't try to humiliate them. If they bow, it means you can touch them. If they don't return the greeting, you must leave quickly, otherwise you have to be careful of their claws."
Perhaps it was because the senior students were bolder, or because there were no self-righteous students in the class, Hagrid's first class went surprisingly well. The students gradually stopped minding the strange textbook he chose, and some even began to praise the textbook for being interesting.
Sainz sighed in his heart, this situation is not necessarily a good thing, it may give Hagrid a false impression and make him have blind confidence.
After the get out of class, Hagrid said proudly, "Well, I told you it would be a great class!"
Sainz knew that it would be useless to say anything now, but he still made one last attempt: "Very exciting, they are indeed very attractive, but, Hagrid, I don't recommend that you bring such lively animals to the lower grade classes."
Hagrid obviously didn't listen and said nonchalantly, "It's okay, you're making a fuss, Sainz, you can't deprive other students of the right to see them."
Knowing this, Sainz decided not to say anything more. Based on Hagrid's character, even if nothing happens this time, something will happen sooner or later.
It's better for something to happen to these guys than for him to suddenly have the urge to bring a fire dragon into the classroom one day. By then, it's very likely that it won't be a student's arm that gets scratched, but a student will be eaten directly.
That situation would obviously be worse!
Sure enough, during dinner, I heard people talking about a third-grade student in the afternoon's Care of Magical Creatures class who had his arm scratched by a monster and was bleeding profusely, so he was forced to be admitted to the school hospital.
After dinner, Sainz decided to go see Hagrid. This time he had done his best. If the same situation happened again in the future, he would ignore it.
When he went there, he happened to meet the trio who also happened to visit him. Hagrid was drunk and said, “I really regret not listening to your advice, Sainz.
Ah, this must be a record, there has never been a professor who only teaches one day!"
Hermione said in surprise, "You're fired!"
Hagrid tore at his hair, "Not yet, but it makes no difference, the school board already knows!
It's only a matter of time, isn't it! Malfoy..."
Ron said, "How is he, isn't he seriously injured?"
Hagrid took a gulp of wine. "Madam Pomfrey has done her best to treat him, but he has been holding his arm and crying out in pain..."
Harry said angrily, "He was just pretending. Madam Pomfrey could make my bones grow in a day!"
Sainz walked over and snatched the cup from Hagrid's hand. "It's obvious that he just wants to take this opportunity to make things worse!"
"This is all my fault..." Hagrid said sadly, "I should have listened to your advice and shouldn't have made such a big show at the beginning... I... I just wanted to make the first class more exciting..."
"It's all Malfoy's fault, Hagrid!" Hermione said seriously, "We are all witnesses!"
"No, I deserve it..." Hagrid was bleary-eyed, tears dripping down his beard, and he grabbed the bucket-sized pewter glass in his hand again, "I messed it up!"
Sainz agreed with this point. Maybe it was abominable that Malfoy took advantage of the opportunity, but Hagrid really deserved it.
His worries were actually unnecessary. After all, no serious consequences had really been caused. With old Deng's power, it would be easy for him to keep his position. However, Sainz was not going to say these words. It might be a good thing to let him learn a lesson.
Sai secretly laughed in his heart. It was the sin of old Dumbledore in his previous life that he had such subordinates. He might feel tired at some point, but since Hagrid was his loyal fan, he could only accept this fate without getting angry.
"Since Hagrid can still drink, it seems that he is fine. I'll excuse myself!" Sainz saw the expressions on the faces of the other three people. They seemed to be saying, "He looks like he's dying. Is he fine?"
He understood their expressions, but ignored them and opened the door and left. Hagrid was over sixty years old, not just six years old, and he was not a babysitter, so there was no point in listening to him grumbling here.
As Sainz walked out, Hermione seemed to be a little fed up with him. She snatched his wine glass and poured out the wine in it, "That's enough, Hagrid, you've drunk enough!"
Sainz could still hear their movements as he walked out, and Hagrid said, "Maybe you're right!" Then there was the sound of splashing water.
Harry's voice came, "What is he doing?"
Hermione replied: "Stick your head in a bucket!"
Suddenly, Hagrid yelled, "Harry! And you two! Why are you here?"
From what he said, it seemed that he had just recognized them and the previous conversation was all in a sleepwalking manner.
"Harry! Harry! Don't run around after dark! Don't let me see you coming to see me after dark! It's not worth it! Go away! I have to take you back to the castle!"
It's not safe now after dark, come here, Harry!"
"Hagrid!" said Ron. "You're gonna break his arm!"
"Oh, I'm sorry..."
"No...it's okay...you didn't mean it..."
The result was not what Sainz expected. Hagrid was not expelled, nor was he kicked out of his professorship, but his self-confidence had obviously suffered a huge blow, and he would not see any interesting creatures in his future classes.
Sainz complained in his heart, "That won't do. I didn't choose this course just to take care of Flobberworms endlessly!"
