Chapter 469 The unlucky Yeqi? Anyone who has killed someone can see it

boom! boom! boom!

There was a rapid knock on the door.

The four people turned around and saw a short, fat figure swinging on the curtains.

"Merlin's beard!" Ron said speechlessly. "This old witch must have come here because she was stuck!"

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Hermione said nervously, "Harry, I remember you brought the invisibility cloak, right?"

"Get in quickly." Harry quickly took out the invisibility cloak and covered himself, Hermione, and Ron inside.

The three of them squeezed and hid in the corner, giving up the space in the middle.

Hagrid opened the door, and Umbridge stood at the door. She was wearing a pink sweater and coat, with a hypocritical smile on her face, but disdainful contempt flashed in her eyes.

"Well...you are Hagrid, right?"

"Yes, who are you?"

"Dolores Umbridge." Umbridge walked into the hut, pacing while looking at the interior of the house.

Harry and the three of them didn't dare to take a breath, for fear that she would notice them.

"I don't want to be rude, but who are you?" Hagrid asked with wide eyes.

"The Senior Undersecretary of the Ministry of Magic who is responsible to Minister Fudge is now the Professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts and the Senior Investigator of Hogwarts." Umbridge said proudly, "As the Senior Investigator, I have the right to know The reason for the teacher’s leave, then tell me where have you been in the past two months?”

"Well, I, I actually went to recuperate." Hagrid said hesitantly.

"Recuperation?" Umbridge sneered disdainfully.

Did this stupid guy take her for a fool? The physical fitness of the hybrid giant is not generally good, so he has the nerve to embarrass himself with such a ridiculous reason.

"I need to enjoy some fresh air."

"Yes! It must be difficult for the gamekeeper to breathe fresh air." Umbridge smiled meaningfully, "If I were you, I wouldn't be used to it. In fact, I wouldn't unpack my luggage at all."

After saying that, Umbridge turned and walked towards the door without waiting for Hagrid's reaction.

Snapped!

The door closed, and Harry and the three waited for a while to confirm that she had really left before lifting the invisibility cloak.

"That's been made clear," Hermione said solemnly, "She wants you to pack up and get out.

Hagrid, your class is on Tuesday, you must be prepared, this matter is very serious, you must not use anything too dangerous in class..."

"I know, I know." Hagrid waved his hand impatiently, "What you said is exactly the same as what Aaron said.

But don't worry, I have reserved some animals just for your O.W.L. year, and they are very special. "

The three of them suddenly felt a thump in their hearts. Hagrid's confident look made them uneasy at all. After all, he also behaved like this when he took out the Hippogriff and Explosive-tailed Skrewt.

"Isn't it dangerous?" Harry asked anxiously.

"Of course they are not dangerous. They can take care of themselves and will not attack humans."

"Hagrid, it's really not a joke this time." Hermione said very seriously, "You have to pass Umbridge's inspection. This time, listen to me, Ponlock, and you will be much better off."

"No, they're not interesting.

What I have prepared is much more magical, and I may be the only one in the UK who has tamed it. "

"Oops! Why don't you understand?" Hermione said anxiously and frustratedly, "What's important is not fun, but safety.

If you don't want to get caught out by Umbridge, then teach some common animals that will definitely be on the exam. "

Hagrid yawned and gave the three of them a big hug, "Believe me, I really prepared something good this time."

After hearing this, the three of them were helpless for a moment.

They still felt that this matter could not be caused by Hagrid's temper, but it was obvious that they couldn't persuade him!

"What should we do?" Ron said depressedly on the way back, "He doesn't seem to have listened to what we said."

"There are still two days." Hermione took a deep breath, "If you can, persuade him to change his mind. If not, you can help him check before the official class begins."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, with a flash of confusion in their eyes.

"Have you hesitated?"

"No, no, no, no, we didn't mean that." Harry said hurriedly, "But you also know our situation."

"The homework is almost piled up." Ron said bitterly, "There is also the Quidditch game. Although Harry caught the Golden Snitch, I, the goalkeeper, did a little worse."

"A little?" Hermione looked at him speechlessly, "Are you sure?"

Ron felt ashamed, blushed and lowered his head, "Okay! It's really bad!"

Anyway, Angelina scolded me like crazy and made us train harder. "

"Fortunately, because the Quidditch season is here, D.A. has temporarily suspended classes, otherwise we may not have been able to handle it."

Hermione almost laughed out of anger. She didn't expect these two guys to be so unreliable and fall out of control at the critical moment.

"Okay! Looks like I'm the only one who can help Hagrid."

"You can ask Aaron for help." Harry said, "He doesn't need to train, and he doesn't have as much homework as us."

"It's not very hopeful. I know him too well. His ability to come here today to remind Hagrid is the limit."

"You're treating him a little differently now. He can just come over and remind us, but when he comes to our place..." Ron said in a sinister tone, but his voice stopped abruptly mid-sentence.

"Do you have any objections?" Hermione smiled warmly, but it made Ron shiver.

"Uh... no, how dare I have any objection!"

However, Hermione still found Aaron in the library the next day, "Come with me to see Hagrid."

"I won't go." Aaron refused very simply, "I know what you are worried about, but I have reminded you of everything that needs to be reminded."

"Just reminding is not enough." Hermione said seriously, "We have to figure out what he wants to teach, and it's best to give him some advice, and we can't let Umbridge take advantage of it."

"Haha!" Aaron couldn't help laughing, "That's useless, no matter how perfect your preparation is, you can't stop the picky Umbridge.

Besides, we both reminded him that if he still insists on his own opinion, he will do it on his own. "

"But...you have to try it!"

"Come on, I'm optimistic about you!"

The corners of Hermione's mouth twitched slightly. Although she was mentally prepared before coming, she couldn't help but feel a little disappointed when she was rejected. But Aaron's next words made most of the haze in her heart clear away.

"But I will try my best to help him. After all, I don't like owing people anything."

...

During the Care of Magical Creatures class on Tuesday, Hagrid came to the students carrying half a dead cow, but Professor Grupplan did not show up.

Students who liked Hagrid cheered enthusiastically, while some students were depressed.

After all, in their eyes, Professor Grapeland is a truly conscientious and good teacher. The most important thing is that there is no danger in her class.

Hagrid led the students towards the Forbidden Forest. As he walked, he said, "We have classes in the forest because they like darkness."

"What likes darkness?" Draco asked with some fear.

"That's a lot." Aaron clasped his fingers seriously, "Vampires, ocelots, night beasts..."

"Wait, stop talking now." Draco interrupted hastily, "Let me take a moment."

"I'm not telling you, you need to exercise your courage."

"Can you blame me?" Draco said depressedly, "I have never been afraid in Professor Graplan's class, but he...look at the half of a dead cow he is carrying on his shoulders.

It had just been slaughtered not long ago, and there was still blood on the meat. It couldn't be for us to eat! "

When the students heard Draco say this, they seemed to think of something.

Their faces turned slightly pale, and they tried to distance themselves as much as possible from Hague.

"You guys." Harry looked at the students who were retreating and was immediately furious, especially since quite a few of them were Gryffindors.

"Potter, I don't think there is anything wrong with what I said." Draco was rarely serious, "Who knows what predatory beasts he will bring.

As far as I'm concerned, he'll be just fine as a gamekeeper, but Graplan is better suited to be a professor. "

Harry glared at him angrily, but had nothing to say.

Because he knew that it was not just Draco who thought so, many people thought so, and he even recognized Professor Graplan in his heart, but if he was asked to choose, he would 100% support Hagrid.

Harry walked up to Hermione and asked worriedly: "Is this class okay?"

Hermione was silent for a while, "I don't know either."

"No, didn't you say you wanted to help him check up?"

"I tried my best, but he wasn't in the house when I looked for him." Hermione sighed deeply, "I finally waited for him to come out of the Forbidden Forest, but he didn't tell me anything and said he wanted to give me something. A surprise for us.”

"I didn't see the surprise, but the shock was real." Ron said with some horror. "Malfoy is right. The person we need to meet in this class is probably a carnivore, and his appetite is not small. He can The kind that eats half a cow.”

Hermione and Harry's moods suddenly sank, and now they just hoped that Umbridge wouldn't be able to come due to something else, otherwise Hagrid would be in danger this time.

Hagrid stopped in the most densely forested area. It had snowed heavily in the past two days, but not even a single snowflake could be seen here.

"The animals we're going to be studying today are very rare."

"Have you tamed them?" Draco asked with some fear.

"certainly."

Many people were skeptical of this statement. They looked around carefully, as if they were prepared for possible attacks at any time.

"Uh... don't be so nervous." Hagrid put down the dead cow. "They will be attracted by the smell of meat, but I'd better call them."

He shook his hair away, cleared his throat, and made a strange sound.

This sound echoed continuously in the forest. Many students did not dare to speak, only feeling the fear spreading in their hearts.

A few minutes later, Aaron heard the sound of shallow footsteps and turned to look at a huge black horse with exposed bones and black wings walking out of the darkness.

"So it's it!" Aaron suddenly said, "Don't be afraid. This magical animal will become very docile after being tamed."

"Can you see it?" Hagrid asked in surprise.

"Anyone who has killed someone can see it." Aaron said nonchalantly, but as soon as he finished speaking, he realized that he had said the wrong thing, "Well... I may have exaggerated. I mean I have seen life. Anyone who passes through my arms can see it.”

"What did you see?" Hermione asked confused.

Aaron shrugged and pointed to the half of the dead cow on the ground.

hiss!

The Gryffindor and Slytherin students gasped as they saw pieces of flesh peeling off the bones, with clear gnawing marks on them.

Even though everyone here is a wizard, I still can't help but feel frightened when I see this weird scene.

"This is the Thestral." Aaron explained. "We are very familiar with each other. After all, they have been the carriage pulled by them every time we come to Hogwarts Castle since the second grade."

"But it is unlucky, very unlucky." Parvati said in horror, "Professor Trelawney said it will bring all kinds of terrible disasters to those who see them."

"This is nonsense." Aaron laughed dumbly, "If this is true, Hagrid who tamed them would have died countless times."

"Can you not use me as an example?" Hagrid said, "But unlucky things are just superstitions. They are very smart and useful. They mainly help pull the carriage for the school. Dumbledore also used it when he didn't want to Apparate. Travel far away."

"Mount!" The image of Dumbledore riding the Thestral came to Aaron's mind, and he shook his head amusedly, "I always thought he was riding a phoenix!"

"Fox is powerful, but letting it go is overkill."

"maybe!"

"Who else but Aaron could see them?"

Harry was the first to raise his hand, then Neville, and then a Slytherin.

"Uh... sorry to interrupt." Draco stood up and said, "You are giving lessons to dozens of people instead of just a few. Most of us can't see them."

"Ahem! Ahem!"

There was a sudden cough, and Umbridge walked over arrogantly with a clipboard in hand.

"Oh, hello." Hagrid said with a smile.

"I think you got my note and I will come to your class."

"Copy it." Hagrid nodded, "Today we are talking about Thestrals, but I don't know if you can see it."

"What?"

"It's the Thestral, a horse with wings." Hagrid thought she couldn't see it, so he flapped his thick arms twice like wings.

Umbridge raised her eyebrows, and then wrote on the writing board: "Use clumsy gestures."

"Hagrid just wanted to describe it clearly." Aaron said lightly, "He didn't make any gestures before you came.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying that you have a weak IQ and need hand gestures to understand what he is saying. "

puff!

Some students couldn't help but laugh, while others were holding it in very hard and turned their faces away so that Umbridge couldn't see them.

Gryffindor really didn't like the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor sent by the Ministry of Magic. They felt that she bullied others and used power for personal gain, while Slytherin only respected her superficially. After all, the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor was the most touching person in the Snake House. They are interested in the class, but this professor obviously can't teach them anything.

The harsh laughter caused a look of embarrassment to flash across Umbridge's face, but she quickly suppressed it.

She gave Aaron a smile, and then crossed out 'use clumsy gestures' on the writing board. If she still insists on keeping this comment now, it will be disrespectful to her own intelligence.
