Chapter 333: Cancelled Care of Magical Creatures
Gold necklace...
Wade is not someone who likes to wear jewelry on himself, even though he can afford all kinds of expensive gems and gold.
At the same time, Michael noticed that Hermione seemed to have the same thing hidden in her school robes.
"Forget it then." He folded his arms and put his chin on them, leaning on the table and muttering, "If I leave, you will have to sit here alone? That's too pitiful."
Wade smiled, reached into his bag and pulled out a book as thick as a brick and placed it on the table.
"If you're bored, you can watch this."
"what is this?"
Michael sat up straight and said disdainfully as he flipped through the pages: "Encyclopedia? It sounds no different from 'The Family Life and Social Habits of British Muggles'!"
But as soon as he opened the catalog, his attention was attracted.
The book that Vader gave to Michael was actually a children's encyclopedia, a birthday present given to Vader by a friend of his father two years ago. It began with the Big Bang, the Milky Way, nebulae, and galaxies, and was accompanied by colorful illustrations and concise, easy-to-understand explanations.
There are also natural sciences, humanities and history, social changes, and technological development at the end. Each part is written in an interesting and eye-catching way.
Michael quickly became addicted to it and unknowingly forgot about time and his previous intention to leave.
Wade took advantage of this time to finish all the homework left over from the morning classes.
His schoolbag looked ordinary on the outside, but it was actually another form of wardrobe space. The Traceless Extension Charm expanded the space inside to be comparable to the school auditorium, and Wade stuffed all his books into it.
The writing "school bag" is actually a portable library on the go.
When he was writing a paper and looking up information, he only needed to reach into his schoolbag and then cast a silent flying spell to get the book he wanted.
When the bell rang, Michael reluctantly closed the book and asked, "Can you lend me this book? I've only read a dozen pages."
"Hold on."
Wade touched the cover of the book with his wand, copied the same book, left the original to Michael, and took the copy to find Professor Bubbage.
Michael had just managed to stuff the large tome into his crowded bag when he saw Wade coming back from the front of the classroom.
He raised an eyebrow. “You want Professor Bubaji to teach this encyclopedia instead? I heard her original textbook is nearly ten years old.”
"That's why we need to change. History of Magic is enough as a boring class."
Wade said, "Also, there are many mistakes in the original textbook. The author actually doesn't have a deep understanding of Muggles. As you said, it's not bad to read it as a joke book."
"Did Professor Bubagi agree?" Michael asked.
"After I told him what I thought, I left the book behind and left." Wade sighed and said, "I think Professor Bubbaji might need to cry secretly for a while after we all leave."
"Uh..." Michael was stunned for a moment before he said, "Actually, it's normal for Millicent and the others to leave on the spot. No matter what, marrying a werewolf is still too outrageous."
"I remember you liked Remus very much," Vader said.
"Remus is Remus and a werewolf is a werewolf."
Michael said objectively: "I know what most werewolves are like - vulgar, violent, barbaric, full of hatred for wizards. I heard that they used to attack children and women at night."
"Remus is a special case. He cannot represent all werewolves. And if Remus had a daughter, do you think he would be willing to let his daughter marry a werewolf again?"
Vader said nothing.
He thought of Will, the werewolf who betrayed Remus' kindness, and Claire, who was resistant to her werewolf identity.
Even among werewolves themselves, few can accept their own identity.
From this perspective, Professor Bubaji's idea is bizarrely naive.
After Muggle Studies, the next class is Care of Magical Creatures.
This course has always been a popular elective course, and the vast majority of students will choose it. Therefore, the classes are taught separately in two colleges, just like the required courses.
Ravenclaw was sorted with Hufflepuff.
They walked along the slope to the edge of the Forbidden Forest and arrived just in time for class, but there was no sign of the professor. "Where is Professor Hagrid?" asked Hannah Abbott from Hufflepuff. "Did he forget the time?"
The students waited for a while, and someone took the initiative to knock on Hagrid's hut door, but received no response.
"Did we remember the wrong place for class?"
When he came back, he said uncertainly.
"I heard some noise over there." Ryan pointed to a place not far away and said, "It seems like something is calling over there."
"Let's go and have a look." Anthony Goldstein made the decision: "Professor Hagrid might be waiting for us over there!"
He was warm and generous, caring for others, and had always been the center of attention among Ravenclaw students. Upon hearing this, everyone followed him.
Wade guessed something, but didn't say anything and just followed the team.
This place was very close to the forbidden forest. Many students who had never dared to set foot in this area were excited and nervous, and unknowingly leaned against each other.
Then, they all heard the cry that Ryan mentioned, followed by the sound of someone inhaling.
Twelve strange creatures were in a paddock. They had the bodies of horses, the heads, wings and front claws of eagles, and their fur was colorful. Some were eating meat, some were lying on the ground to rest, and two seemed to be playing.
The arrival of the students startled these creatures. Those lying on the ground immediately stood up, staring at each other cautiously without approaching.
"Hippogriff!" Theo exclaimed. "Is this what Professor Hagrid is going to teach us?"
"How cool!" Michael cheered. "I didn't know there were creatures like this in the Forbidden Forest!"
"So where is the professor?"
Padma was a little scared. She grabbed Michael's sleeve tightly and tried to retreat: "Maybe we should leave... go find Professor Hagrid first..."
"Don't be afraid, Padma." Michael comforted her: "The professor may have gone to prepare food for them! We have to learn how to feed the hippogriffs!"
Padma turned pale and screamed, "Still want closer contact?!"
Before he could finish his words, a voice came from behind: "What are you doing here?!"
Everyone turned around and saw Professor McGonagall striding towards them with a worried and anxious look on her face. She only relaxed when she saw that there was at least twenty meters between the students and the Hippogriff.
"We are getting ready for class, Professor," said Anthony Goldstein, "but for some reason Professor Hagrid hasn't arrived yet."
Professor McGonagall frowned: "Didn't anyone inform you? This class is temporarily cancelled!"
"Cancel? Why?" Anthony asked curiously.
"Something happened..." Professor McGonagall said vaguely: "In short, for everyone's safety, don't get close to here for the time being. Go back to the castle, quickly!"
The students hesitated, but under Professor McGonagall's stern gaze, they headed towards the castle.
"Why is it cancelled?" Michael said, "We're only having our first Care of Magical Creatures class."
"Look, look over there." Wade raised his chin and gestured.
Michael turned around and saw fresh blood in the grass and on the fence of the paddock.
His face turned pale: "Is anyone injured?"
"I guess so," said Wade. "The eagle's claws and beak are both capable of hurting people."
"Luckily we didn't go over there." Padma patted her chest thankfully and said, "I hope Hermione and the others weren't hurt."
Michael was a little unhappy and a little unbelievable: "Professor Hagrid didn't take proper safety precautions? How could he make such a mess in the first class?"
"Who knows? Maybe someone else did something stupid." Wade said, "Anyway, go to the school hospital and you'll find out."
"but……"
Michael turned around and caught the eye of a hippogriff.
"Maybe next time we come to class, we won't be able to see them... maybe we won't be able to see them anymore..."
