Chapter 169 Hagrid Disappears (Addition)
Harry's life has not been going well since school started.He's wasted his entire Christmas break on fun, and he's still clueless about the clue to the second event, the golden egg.
On the first day after the start of school, the field was still covered with thick snow, and the bitter cold wind made the little wizards in class tremble.
In the Slytherin common room, the young wizards were not looking forward to the Care of Fantastic Beasts class, and were complaining under their breath.After all, in this weather, no one would want to go outdoors to take care of magical animals, and at the same time face the harsh weather and those disgusting snails.
At this time, Draco stood up, with a smug smile on his face, "Everyone, don't worry, today's class will not be taught by that stupid big man."
"Ah—" Pansy asked, "I mean, it's a good thing, but why—"
Draco lifted a folded newspaper in his hand, it was the Daily Prophet, Rita Skeeter's report, the headline was "Dumbledore's Big Mistake".
The little wizards each used the copy spell to make a copy of each of them, and read it carefully.
The report not only criticized Dumbledore for hiring Mad-Eye Moody, a neurotic lunatic, as a professor, but also revealed Hagrid's identity as a half-blood giant, and accused him of scaring his students with a series of terrible animals, which caused many students to be seriously injured, but Dumbledore turned a blind eye to it.
It has to be said that Rita is a really talented woman. She only overheard Hagrid's identity as a half-blood giant from the rose bushes, but she even found out the identity of Hagrid's mother—the giant Friedwafa. It seems that this woman also has her own unique intelligence network, and it is very sophisticated and extensive.
A bright light flashed in Xie Lin's eyes. He had been looking for the talents he needed to build and manage the intelligence network. In fact, the original book had already told him the answer.
After reading the report, Pansy said in disbelief, "I didn't expect Hagrid to be a giant, let alone Dumbledore would hire him! Isn't he worried that Hagrid will suddenly go berserk one day and eat his students?"
"What's so strange about this," Draco snorted coldly, and said, "That old man with white beard is simply a fool. He's not doing anything. Our pure-blood family has paid so much to finally bring the wizarding world to where it is today, but he only cares about the rights of Muggles and those lowly species!"
Daphne put her hand on her chin and said calmly: "With the report written like this, I am afraid that Professor Hagrid will not be able to give lectures in the short term. The parents of the students will not agree to a half-blood giant as a professor. Now Dumbledore needs It may not be easy to explain this to parents, the media, and the public!"
"Don't worry!" Schelling said calmly, "Although I don't like Professor Hagrid's teaching style very much, Dumbledore will not let him have trouble. At most, he will temporarily avoid the limelight. With Dumbledore's current reputation, even if Rita writes flowers, it is impossible to shake his foundation."
Nott interjected, "So, who will be teaching us today? Schelling, you're on the Faculty Hiring Committee, do you have any news?"
Schelling replied, "It's Professor Wilmina Guerra-Plan. She's a pretty good magizoologist, from the Guerra and Puran families..."
"Ah, I know her," Daphne said. "The Pulan family and my family have a lot of dealings. When Dad added a unicorn department to the magical animal farm, he also consulted her. She seems to be an expert in the field of unicorns."
The little wizards of Slytherin are generally more knowledgeable about well-known figures in the wizarding world. They might not be able to associate the names when they just heard the names, but now they have suddenly realized.
Pansy asked: "The two families you are talking about are the Pulan family, which is famous for breeding unicorns, and the Guerra family, which is famous for breeding magical owls? This professor is a descendant of these two families?"
Schelling nodded and said, "That's right, that's her. The Yila Owl House in Diagon Alley is her family's property." Then Schelling smiled, "I have a hunch that today's class will be the unicorn that you girls are most interested in. Let's go! There are 10 minutes left before class, let's not be late."
When they came to Hagrid's hut, there was an elderly witch standing at the door.Her gray hair was cropped short and her jaw was very prominent.Daphne recognized her, indeed Professor Guerra-Plane.
"Hello, and Ms. Greengrass, hello, you are really looking more and more beautiful." Professor Guerra-Plan greeted the little wizards with a smile, and made fun of Daphne.
Pansy and several little girls couldn't wait to ask: "Professor Guerra-Plan, I heard that you are an expert in the field of unicorns, so are we learning about unicorns today?"
"Yes," Professor Guerra-Plan smiled, "It seems that some of you are quite well-informed!" After finishing speaking, she gave Schelling a meaningful look.
"But you have to wait first, the Gryffindor students haven't arrived yet." She looked at her watch, showing a somewhat impatient expression, "Really, it's already been five minutes. Gryffindor's discipline is really bad, it seems that I need to talk to Minerva about it."
At this moment, the little wizards of Gryffindor arrived under the leadership of Harry.Unlike the Slytherin students who had expected it, they all showed surprised expressions when they saw a strange witch instead of Hagrid.
Seeing them walking slowly, Professor Guerra-Plan couldn't help but sternly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, the class bell has rang for five minutes."
"Who are you?" Ron asked, staring at her. "Where's Hagrid?"
"I'm Professor Guerra-Plane," she said crisply, "and I'm your substitute teacher for Care of Fantastic Creatures."
"Where's Hagrid?" Harry asked aloud again.
"He's not feeling well," said Professor Guerra-Plane reluctantly.
Suddenly there was a malicious chuckle in Harry's ear - it was Draco and a few Slytherin wizards looking at him mockingly.
"What's the matter with Hagrid?" Harry asked, taking a few quick steps and catching up with Professor Guerra-Plane.
"Just leave it alone," she said, as if thinking he was meddling.
"I'll take care of it," said Harry excitedly. "What's the matter with him?"
"Enough! Mr. Potter, is this the attitude you should have towards a professor?" Professor Guerra-Plan finally couldn't bear it anymore, and shouted: "Because of you, Gryffindor deducted ten points! Now, follow me immediately!"
She ignored Harry and led the students past the stables, where the huge Beauxbatons stood snuggled up against the cold.They walked towards a big tree at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, under which was tied a large and beautiful unicorn.
Many girls gasped in admiration when they saw unicorns.
"Oh, it's so pretty!" said Lavender Brown. "How did she get it? Unicorns are said to be hard to catch!"
This unicorn is so dazzlingly white that the surrounding white snow looks a bit gray in comparison.It scratched the dirt with its golden hoofs restlessly, and raised its horned head.
"Back off, boys!" yelled Professor Guerra-Plane. "Unicorns love female petting. Girls stand in front, approach it carefully, come here, relax..."
She and the girls walked slowly towards the unicorn, while the boys stayed by the stable fence and stood watching them.Seeing Professor Graplan go out of hearing, Harry turned to Ron and said, "What do you think happened to him? It can't be a wreck--"
"Oh, Potter, if you're worried about that, I can tell you that he wasn't attacked," Draco said softly, "No, he's just too shy to show his big ugly face."
"What do you mean?" Harry snapped.
"I don't need to tell you," Draco turned cold, and ignored Harry, watching the interaction between the girls and the unicorn, leaving Harry sulking there.This feeling of being out of breath is the most painful for a person like Harry. He would rather draw out his wand and fight with Draco, but with Schelling here, he regained his sanity a little bit. He didn't want to be pinned to the ground and rubbed in one round.That would be embarrassing.
When the girls finished their unicorn petting trip, Professor Guerra-Plan called the boys over.
"Now that the unicorn's emotions have been calmed down, you can also go over and try to pet it, but don't get too close. If it feels offended, it may still violently hurt people." Professor Guerra-Plan said, "Now, which one of you will come first?"
Several boys looked at each other when they heard that they might be injured.
"Let me do it!" Schelling stepped forward.
Professor Grubbly-Plank's English name is Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank.As mentioned earlier, this is a kind of double surname, which only appears when the two-line family of the parents is equally powerful. Grubbly is the surname of her matrilineal family, and Plank is the surname of her patrilineal family.
In the original book, her first class is unicorns, and the students think she knows unicorns very well.Also, in the fifth book, she also healed Harry's owl, and she's obviously pretty good at it too.
On the contrary, for dangerous creatures like thestrals, she clearly stated her admiration for Hagrid, which is equivalent to admitting that she is inferior to Hagrid in this respect.
