Chapter 433 Fear
Obviously, Hagrid, who had no teaching talent, didn't care about the retreat of those students at all. Well, in fact, for a person whose altitude was too high, the retreat distance of the young wizards was completely non-existent in his opinion.
"Uh, uh, Hermione, why are you raising your hand..." Hagrid was a little confused, "Um...is there any problem?"
Hermione's mouth twitched, feeling that Hagrid was becoming unreliable again.
Immediately, she adjusted her mood, took a deep breath, and reminded, "Professor, hippogriffs are dangerous. You should not let us get closer."
"Oh, no, no, no, they won't attack wizards casually. In fact, they are quite well-behaved." Hagrid said with a smile, "Although they lose their temper easily, in fact, as long as you don't humiliate them, they will There’s no danger at all.”
"But..." Hermione was a little worried. She looked in the direction of Malfoy and the others. He was smiling and whispering to Crabbe, Goyle and Pansy, and seemed to be thinking about some not-so-good plan.
for example……
Secretly release these monsters and let them attack the little wizards?
Unfortunately, Hagrid didn't notice Hermione's worries at all. He said in a more serious tone, "Although they are magical creatures, they have their own thoughts, so they are very proud. If you do anything to humiliate them, They will attack you. So, when you are approaching a hippogriff, wait for them to act first. This is a matter of basic etiquette."
As he said this, Hagrid rubbed the pink-patterned winged beast next to him. The other party obeyed and let Hagrid stroke it. He closed his eyes and seemed to enjoy it very much. "If you can respect them, then you can It can also be done like this.”
The little wizards’ eyes lit up, they liked this!
Subconsciously, they took a few steps closer, wanting to see Hagrid's movements more carefully.
"I will teach you how to tame them, listen up." Hagrid coughed lightly, "First, you must use your eyes to stare into its eyes without blinking."
Hagrid pointed to his own eyes and then pointed in the direction of the monsters.
"Then, you walk towards it and bow, to show that you mean no harm. If it bows back, you can continue to get closer and try to touch it. Just like this." Hagrid stroked the hippogriff again. The hair of the winged beast, their comfortable sounds together, "Excellent touch."
"But if it doesn't bow, you have to back away quickly. It means it doesn't like you. And for those people, the Hippogriff will let them know how sharp those claws are." Hagrid pointed to their claws. , seeing the eagle claws shining with cold light, the little wizards couldn't help but froze.
"Okay! Which of you wants to come first?" Hagrid shouted excitedly, "This is the best opportunity to get close to the hippogriff!"
As his words fell, the hippogriff shook its ferocious head, stretched out its powerful wings, and scratched the ground with its claws, making a "puff, puff" sound, as if it was very unwilling to be tied up.
Hagrid patted his head, "Damn it, I forgot, they need to eat good food often, otherwise they will go on strike."
He took off the stoat hanging from his waist and threw it to the hippogriffs. They flapped their wings and opened their mouths to fight for the flying stoat carcass.
Flesh and blood flew everywhere for a while.
The little wizards turned pale.
Harry swallowed. He was also a little scared. Hermione was also a little scared. She gritted her teeth and asked in a low voice, "What comes first?"
"Come over and say hello to our friends!" Hagrid smiled happily and asked again, "Who comes first?"
silence……
The little wizards all looked at the big man with incomprehensible eyes. Why don't they raise swallow-tailed dogs anymore?
It's just a matter of digging out a rat's nest. It's just a little dirty and tiring. We can do it!
Please keep us away from dangerous creatures like hippogriffs!
"No one?" Hagrid's tone was full of disappointment, his eyes were filled with tears, and he looked at the little wizards with a pleading look.
Just come and have one, at least it proves that you love these magical creatures!
However, as time passed, Hagrid had been standing there for almost three minutes, and still no one wanted to get close to those monsters.
Hagrid's eyes were full of disappointment. His class, the course he had carefully prepared. In order to find these hippogriffs, he had to search for half a month in the Forbidden Forest, and he had to train them to adapt to those collars. , bring them together...
All the hard work and sweat are needed, but it’s a pity...
This class was a failure.
Just then, he heard the voices of Harry and Hermione, "I want to try it!"
Hagrid's eyes brightened again.
Parvati pulled Hermione's sleeve and whispered, "Hermione..."
"Don't worry," said Hermione, "Hagrid will take good care of us."
With that said, she climbed over the fence of the paddock and walked to Hagrid.
Harry trotted over.
"Well done! Harry! Hermione!" Hagrid's voice was full of gratitude, "You are very brave! Ten points for Gryffindor!"
At this time, Hagrid finally realized that he was a professor! He can give his friends extra points!
"Also, Malfoy, Crabbe, Goyle, Pansy!" Hagrid pointed at these students with a serious expression, "If you continue to whisper to each other, if anything happens, you will be responsible for the consequences."
Malfoy seemed to want to say something, but then remembered that the other person was now a professor and could not say harsh words, so he stared at him with resentful eyes.
"Okay, Harry, you go first." Hagrid walked to the fence, untied a chain, pulled the gray hippogriff to Harry's side, and untied its neck while He put the collar on and introduced, "This is Buckbeak, let's see how you deal with it!"
Harry was a little nervous. He swallowed and remembered Hagrid's previous instructions. Unfortunately, when Buckbeak's golden pupils stared at him, his mind suddenly went blank.
What was Hagrid's point just now?
bow?
etiquette?
"Harry, look into its eyes and keep staring." Hagrid reminded in a low voice, "You're doing a good job, that's all... don't blink too often, or you will lose the Hippogriff's trust. .”
Harry had no idea how long it would take to stop doing this too frequently, because he could not stop crying because he had not closed his eyes for a long time, but he did not dare to blink for fear of offending the creature in front of him.
Buckbeak turned his big pointed head and stared at Harry with a fierce orange eye.
"That's right, that's right," said Hagrid, "that's it, okay Harry, well done! Now, bow..."
