From Azkaban To Hogwarts

"Hatched!"

On the official first day of school, the storm was about to subside, and William, who was sleeping soundly, was directly awakened by Hagrid's loud voice.

Before he could try to do anything with his wand as he was accustomed to do, the culprit had already dropped a sentence and said, "William, go to my hunting ground before breakfast and have a look. He's hatched!"

"It's barely six o'clock!"

William cursed under his breath as he began to get dressed, ready to go to Hagrid's cabin to see what was going on that had him so excited.

It wasn't that he was angry when he woke up, it was because he went to bed a little too late yesterday - because he wanted to find a good opportunity to test Filch, the only one who missed the trap, so he stared at the pot where the potion was sprinkled for a long time. Throw it on Peeves' head and complete the last test.

"Mad-Eye is so true. He actually prioritized checking the school's secret passage. I originally wanted to see if he would be bold enough to take action..."

After getting dressed and making his bed, William checked the class schedule again to confirm that he had no classes today before walking towards Hagrid's hut.

Of course, in the corridor of the castle, he saw other unlucky people who were woken up.

Everyone smiled and yawned and said hello, and unanimously decided that if what Hagrid brought out was not exciting enough, they would kill the roosters in Hagrid's house and make fried chicken nuggets today.

Although eating fried chicken nuggets in the morning was a bit strong, it was considered a one-sided revenge - if it were not for the help of those damn roosters, maybe Hagrid could have called for people later.

Adams had even begun to fumble for condiments from the bag he carried with him. He always got up early, but it had been a while since the Quidditch World Championship and his hands were itchy.

When they came to Hagrid's hut, chatting and laughing, the group of roosters who did not know whether to live or die were pacing up and down on the ground majestically, pecking at the ground from time to time, and they didn't make a low-pitched crowing until they saw the visitor. The sound comes.

"Oh oh oh!"

Under the urging of such a cry, Hagrid appeared in front of the door with undiminished joy on his face, "You are here! Come and see!"

A huge wooden box with a popping explosion sound was carried out by Hagrid. "There is no wind, and it doesn't look like it will rain. Let them feel the air outside."

"they?"

William consciously cast the Iron Armor Curse, and the professors around him immediately imitated the Iron Armor Curse on himself, but Hagrid, who was bent over, was obviously unaware of this.

"They just hatched today, and I don't know what to feed them yet."

"you do not know?"

William asked in surprise.

It wasn't that he was praising Hagrid, but that it was outrageous that Hagrid didn't know how to raise magical creatures. The old professor's high praise was no joke. Hagrid didn't know how dangerous they were. William believed that he didn't know how to raise magical creatures?

Did he not sleep well, so he fell back to sleep and dreamed?

The professors on the side couldn't restrain their curiosity and gathered around to watch. William originally wanted to stop them and ask them to pay attention to their safety, but he was too late and could only be prepared to replenish the shield at any time to save people - but in theory, it shouldn't be that dangerous. .

"What's this?"

Following the question from the professor in front, the sound of caracara and occasional explosions came from the wooden box.

"Blast-tailed snails! The latest ones I cultivated are fire crabs and manticores, which were just hatched today."

“Interesting – who is the matrix?”

"Manticore? You brought a Thunderbird in during the holidays, but you also got a Manticore? It's really yours, Hagrid!"

“It’s still easy to get approval during the summer vacation.”

"No, many dangerous experiments are conducted during the summer. After all, students are not around at that time - but it is easy for Professor McGonagall to drag them into overtime work."

"Ahem."

William, who couldn't squeeze in, coughed, indicating that there was someone behind him who was pulled to work overtime.

While the professor was changing the subject, he also took a look at the mules that Hagrid had just created, and found that they were not good-looking, white and gray, and were very off-putting.

"Speaking of which, that manticore?"

"After being sent away by Dumbledore, people from the Ministry of Magic came over in a hurry."

Hagrid said with regret - if it weren't for the Thunderbird, he would have regretted it even longer.

"It doesn't look like it. It doesn't look like a crab or a manticore. It looks more like a lobster with its shell removed."

Adams's voice came suddenly. He grabbed one and shook it slightly to resolve its negligible resistance. "It's a bit like a mantis shrimp."

"What's that?"

"Well," Adams thought for a moment, then took out a small notebook from his pocket.

At the very beginning of the book, there were line drawings of various herbal medicines. Adams quickly turned through a few pages, and then clicked with his wand. The ink quickly formed on the book, forming an existence that William was very familiar with.

"Pippi shrimp?"

"The local residents seem to call it this way - the pronunciation is very similar to yours. But probably because it was just born, the shell is softer and can hardly be seen clearly - it is a bit like a slug or a snail."

Why did he become a Pippi shrimp? William shook his head and looked at the snails.

It was shaped like a deformed, shelled lobster. It was gray, slimy, about six inches long, and looked very scary. It had many legs sticking out in random directions, and you couldn't see where the head was - he even untied it. I cast the head soaking spell and then smelled a fishy smell.

It’s over…there’s no going back.

In particular, Adams was particularly persistent in asking Hagrid, "Have you ever raised them? What are their habits? Do they eat poisonous substances? Do they ingest metals? What is their reproductive capacity? Can I do a toxicity test?" "

Hagrid's originally smiling face turned a little pale from this series of questioning. He answered blankly that he didn't know, as if he was doubting his life.

"The manticore is highly poisonous, right?"

Another professor also picked up one and observed it carefully, "It seems to have a small stinger. It looks poisonous."

These words made Hagrid suddenly feel less nervous.

"There is a kind of fish that is highly poisonous. The more poisonous it is, the more delicious it is. I heard that some wizards eat it with feces, just to enjoy the short-term deliciousness."

? ? ?

William took a surprised look and found that many of the professors who came were actually from Hufflepuff - there was no way, Hufflepuffs were the most numerous.

'I was just thinking about how dangerous a creature that is the offspring of two dangerous creatures would be. Maybe it could be a good and novel exam question. You guys...'

However, his thinking was useless. After learning that Hagrid had several boxes of blow-tailed snails, the professors took away more than twenty blow-tailed snails in one go and collaborated with Hagrid to study the habits, toxicity and aggressiveness of the new species. of.

"Gu~~~~!"

When the professors took away the trophies in small boxes, the roosters who didn't know they had escaped crowed again.
