Chapter 165: The surrender of the claws

The students followed Hagrid towards the Forbidden Forest.

This made everyone very excited, and many people felt that Hagrid was going to take them deep into the Forbidden Forest.

However, Hagrid only led everyone along the edge of the forest. Five minutes later, they were already outside a paddock-like place.

"Everyone, come to this fence!" Hagrid shouted, "That's right! Stand where I can see you. Now, the first thing you have to do is open your textbooks!"

Everyone took out their own "Monster Book of Monsters".

They all behaved very tamely as the students kept stroking them back and forth on their spines.

"I knew you could tame these textbooks!" Hagrid was very happy. "Tell me, how did you discover this method?"

"It's the manager of Flourish and Blotts," answered a Ravenclaw. "He told me this little trick when I went to buy books."

Hagrid nodded and said:

"It turns out it's him. It's not surprising. He has read too many magic books."

"It's not him!"

Michelle suddenly interrupted, "He didn't know how to deal with the "Monster Book of Monsters" at first. He even got his hands bitten and swollen! It was John who taught him this little trick, and he was able to survive later.

hard!"

Harry and others also agreed.

Hearing this, Hagrid and the other students all looked at John in surprise.

As Hagrid said before, it's not surprising that the manager of Flourish and Blotts knows this little trick.

But if a student like John knew...

It doesn't seem strange.

That's John Shafiq after all.

An all-around genius!

"John!" Hagrid laughed, "That's great! Ten points for Slytherin!"

John nodded and chuckled:

"Thank you, Professor Hagrid."

"You're welcome, you and I don't need to be so polite. Haha - what we're going to do next, um, next..."

Hagrid's thoughts seemed to be confused, and he said incoherently, "So... then you all have books... Oh... now all you need are magical creatures. Yes. I will go find them now. Wait."

As he spoke, he left the crowd and entered the forbidden forest.

"Although this guy is a little stupid and a little shabby, he is surprisingly easy to mess up."

Draco murmured as he looked at Hagrid's leaving back.

John rolled his eyes at him and said:

"I advise you not to be too smart, lest you cause more trouble."

Draco made an OK gesture to John, still wearing that playful smile.

But the next moment, I saw him pointing across the paddock and screaming.

It's Hagrid who's back.

He also brought a group of strange beasts with him.

They have the body, hind legs and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings and head seem to be that of an eagle. They have sharp beaks the color of steel and big bright orange eyes. The talons on their front legs are half an inch long.

It's long and looks like it could kill someone.

Each beast had a thick feather collar around its neck, with a long chain attached to it. The ends of these chains were held in Hagrid's big hand, and he jogged after the animals.

On the paddock.

"Go over there!"

Hagrid drove the beasts away and tied them all to the fence.

"Hippogriffs!" Hagrid roared happily, "They are so beautiful, aren't they?"

John must also admit this.

The hippogriffs' fur has complex patterns and colors, which makes them look very beautiful.

But their huge beaks and sharp claws make people feel too dangerous.

And they were shaking their heads angrily, spreading their powerful wings, and seemed unwilling to be restrained like this.

So when Hagrid asked if anyone wanted to get closer, everyone present shook their heads wildly.

Except Michelle.

She jumped up and raised her hands almost as soon as Hagrid finished speaking:

"Me! Let me go!"

"Good girl!" Hagrid said excitedly, "but before you really get close to them, the first thing you must know is that they are proud. So never insult a Hippogriff, because this may be you

The last thing you do in your life.”

Michelle nodded vigorously.

"You always have to wait for the Hippogriff to make the first move," Hagrid continued. "That's polite, you know? You walk up to him, you bow, and then you wait.

If he bows back to you, you can touch him. If he doesn't bow, get away from him quickly, because these claws will hurt."

Hagrid led out a hippogriff alone.

Michelle followed Hagrid's instructions and walked over.

All the students across the paddock seemed to hold their breath, and John quietly took out his wand.

Michelle can be said to be the most relaxed person in the room.

With a smile on her face, she didn't stop until she was only three meters away from the hippogriff, ready to bow.

But before she could really make a move, the hippogriff suddenly bent its scaly front knees, sank down, and bowed to Michelle.

Its two brown eyes were still blinking, as if inviting Michelle to touch it quickly.

Michelle's eyes were full of surprise, and she looked back at Hagrid with her mouth wide open.

"He likes you! Michelle, he likes you very much!" Hagrid was also startled and couldn't help but applaud, "That's amazing! Touch him! Oh, and Gryffindor!

very!"

Harry and Hermione cheered when they heard this.

But Draco had other ideas.

In his opinion, this is also a good opportunity to score points.

"Professor! I want to try too!"

Draco suddenly raised his hands and shouted.

"Of course, you will all have a chance. But now we have to wait for Michelle to finish the experience first, and then come one by one."

Hagrid said with a smile.

He felt that his first class should be considered a success.

However, Draco did not obey Hagrid's orders at all.

Minding his own business, he walked towards the hippogriff herd.

"No need to bother, Professor, these beasts don't look so dangerous. Just look at me!"

As he spoke, Draco already stretched out his hand to touch one of the hippogriffs.

Feeling insulted, the hippogriff screamed and waved its steel-gray claws.

"idiot!"

John cursed, pointed the wand lightly in his hand, and Draco suddenly fell down.

This just happened to allow him to avoid the claw.

But the hippogriff obviously didn't want to let him go yet, raising its head and preparing to peck him.

At this time, John had already arrived in front of Draco.

He raised his wand and pointed it at the hippogriff.

As a large amount of magic power was continuously poured into the nun's wand, the tip of the wand began to shine with a dazzling red light.

Not only that, the dense golden runes on the staff also seemed to come to life, twisting and turning.

The next moment, the ready-to-attack [Shattered Bones] will crush the Hippogriff's head.

But the Hippogriff did not give John this chance.

The moment the golden and red light shone into its eyes, the hippogriff whined and knelt down in front of John.
