Chapter 220
“Oh! Lecture, yes, lecture!”
Hagrid’s attention was drawn back to the classroom, and he reached out and patted the tree next to him.
“What I prepared for you today is a group of cute little guys!”
He stretched his hand to the treetop and tapped it twice.
“Come on, little ones, don’t be shy!”
Under the curious eyes of everyone, a few branches slowly stretched out from the tree hole?
“Don’t be afraid, little ones, they are all good kids and won’t hurt you!”
As if they heard Hagrid’s assurance, several Bowtruckles came out of the tree hole.
Pulling Hagrid’s fingers, as if they wanted to use his hands to block everyone’s sight.
Fortunately…
Before seeing the Bowtruckles, Argus was still a little worried.
After all, there are several kinds of magical animals on page 17, and he couldn’t guess what the little guy in Hagrid’s mouth was until the last moment.
If something went wrong and Hagrid was expelled, how could he purchase goods from Hogwarts!
“Bowtrucks are shy little guys, and their main food is insects.”
Speaking of magical animals, Hagrid immediately became excited.
He began to explain the characteristics and living habits of Bowtrucks to the little wizards.
As he explained, several Bowtrucks gradually let down their guard.
Looked at the little wizards around with doubtful eyes.
“Come on, I have prepared earthworms for you. As long as you feed them, you can get a branch from them.”
Hagrid said, and took out a large wooden barrel from the tree next to him.
The wooden barrel was full of earthworms, which made people’s scalps numb.
“Come on, Argus, you try it?”
Hagrid was not completely brainless. He knew that the first student must make a good start to reassure other students.
So he chose Argus to come and set a good example for other students.
Everyone’s eyes gathered on Argus, and Argus did not hesitate to come to the wooden barrel where the earthworms were placed.
Looking at the earthworms crawling, his expression did not change.
He took two of them from the edge that kept climbing up, put them in his palm, and stretched out his hand to the Bowtruckle.
When the Bowtruckle saw Argus’s hand, it obviously shrank back and hid behind Hagrid’s palm, only daring to look at Argus through Hagrid’s fingers.
Argus was not discouraged, and continued to stretch out his hand, trying to express his kindness.
“Don’t be afraid, little ones, Argus is not a bad person.”
“Look, he also prepared his favorite earthworms for you, go and try them.”
With Argus’s persistent feeding and Hagrid’s help, a Bowtruckle finally walked out from behind Hagrid’s palm tentatively.
He quickly took two earthworms from Argus’s hand and returned to the back of Hagrid’s hand to eat them.
A group of little wizards cheered immediately, and Hagrid quickly said: “Quick, Argus, go get a few more.”
“Don’t stop!”
Argus took out his wand and silently flew a spell to the wooden barrel containing earthworms.
Several slugs flew straight to Argus’s palm.
Following the same process, he reached out to the Bowtruckle again.
This time, the Bowtruckles obviously relaxed their guard, and two of them climbed onto Argus’s hand and started eating.
Seeing that the two Bowtruckles were eating happily, Argus tentatively reached out to touch the Bowtruckle’s head.
The Bowtruckle seemed to feel that Argus had disturbed its eating, and shook it slightly. After finding that it didn’t get rid of it, it ignored it.
It continued to gnaw on the slug in his palm.
After gnawing, it looked at Argus curiously, then returned to the tree hole, took out a branch and handed it to Argus.
Seeing this, Hagrid finally smiled.
He shouted to the little wizards around.
“See, little guys, as long as you can be polite, these little guys won’t hurt you!”
“Who’s next!”
“Me! Me! Me!”
“I’ll do it!”
“Choose me! Choose me!”
Argus’s success completely ignited the enthusiasm of the little wizards, and they raised their hands enthusiastically.
“Don’t worry, come one by one!”
Hagrid smiled from ear to ear.
But he didn’t rush all the students to rush up.
He knew the habits of the Bowtruckle. If he really let the little wizards go up all at once, let alone whether the Bowtruckle would be scared.
It’s a good thing that he can’t be torn apart by the little wizard!
Harry originally wanted to join in the fun, after all, Hagrid was their friend, and it was the first class.
Why not support him?
As a result, he was pulled by Ron after just two steps.
“Ha… Harry, can we… can we not take those… bugs!”
“Not take the bugs?”
Harry was a little confused about what Ron meant.
It wasn’t until he saw Ron’s slightly frightened eyes that he suddenly realized what was going on.
Ron was afraid of spiders, and he was not afraid of the earthworms.The bugs were also somewhat… afraid to look directly at.
But the classmates around were all eager to come forward, and he couldn’t just stand there alone.
He had to pull Harry along.
Harry didn’t want to make Hagrid sad. The last time Ron told on him had already left a shadow between the two sides.
If he didn’t give face this time, even if Hagrid had a good temper, he wouldn’t treat them the same way as before.
After thinking about it, he decided to persuade Ron.
“Ron, they are just some country bumpkins, not spiders.”
“There’s no need to be afraid.”
“Besides, this is Hagrid’s first class. If even we don’t help him, who else will…”
“Isn’t there still that evil Slytherin!”
Ron couldn’t bear to hear Harry’s rebuttal and said angrily.
“It has nothing to do with us if Argus helps. We are…”
“Okay, okay! Got it! Can’t I go!”
Ron interrupted Harry without waiting for him to finish.
He walked to the barrel, closed his eyes, grabbed a handful of earthworms and walked towards the Bowtruckle.
It was obvious that his whole body was resisting!
At this time, the Bowtruckle was eating deliciously, and the little wizards around him brought it to him one after another.
Each one was more polite than the other.
Ron didn’t want to be looked down upon, so he closed his eyes and stretched out his hand to the Bowtruckle.
Hagrid opened his mouth, as if he wanted to remind him of something, but when he saw that the Bowtruckle didn’t react much, he didn’t speak.
Ron, with his eyes closed, felt uncomfortable all over, but he didn’t notice that a earthworm was quietly crawling up along his arm!
After a while, Ron felt itchy on his neck, opened his eyes and reached out.
The next second, there was a sharp roar!
He threw the earthworm in his hand away!
But in his other hand, a Bowtruckle was eating deliciously, but Ron pulled his arm and threw it directly to the ground!
The scream scared it even more!
The other Bowtruckles didn’t dare to stay and crawled back to the tree hole.
Never showed up again!
Even Argus didn’t expect that Ron would cause trouble in Hagrid’s first class.
Just now he was calculating when he could use the time converter to return to the right time.
In the blink of an eye, a big trouble happened!
Fortunately, he was not injured, otherwise Hagrid would definitely be condemned.
A group of little wizards glared at Ron.
Before they had time to feed the Bowtruckles, they were scared back by Ron.
Such a good contact opportunity, who knows if there will be another next time!
Ron lowered his head guiltily and dared not speak again.
Hagrid is an honest man after all. If it were Snape, he would at least deduct ten points from Ron!
A good class, in the end, can only rely on Hagrid’s narration to proceed to the next stage.
Until the end of the get out of class, a group of little wizards were pointing fingers at Ron.
Ron didn’t dare to refute, he just walked forward with his head down.
Just after taking two steps, a branch suddenly fell from the sky and stabbed Ron’s eyes fiercely!
The whole forbidden forest seemed to be able to hear Ron’s shrill screams!
“Ah!!!”
