Hogwarts: I'm a model wizard

Chapter 504 Blow-tailed Skrewt

Around ten o'clock in the morning, it suddenly started to rain.

With the sound of raindrops tapping on the glass window, Kyle and Connor sat there comfortably, drinking hot pine needle tea and chatting with Hagrid.

The topic soon shifted to the Triwizard Tournament.

"How does it feel after becoming a warrior?" Hagrid asked curiously.

"It's not clear yet," Kyle said, "but it's going to be lively in the coming days... everyone was so enthusiastic, I felt like I drank two pints of butterbeer last night."

"Of course, after all, you represent Hogwarts." Hagrid said with a smile: "But you need to practice your drinking. It's just butterbeer and you can only drink two pints. This is not good. "

Hagrid said it very casually, as if it was a matter of course... After all, when he usually goes to the Three Broomsticks to drink, he always starts with three pints.

"I drank it after the dinner," Kyle said, trying to explain to Hagrid that it wasn't that he couldn't drink enough, but that he really couldn't drink anymore.

To be honest, a drink like Butterbeer can only get a graduated prefect drunk.

But it looked like Hagrid didn't seem to care at all what Kyle said.

"Look what you said, I won't go to Three Broomsticks on an empty stomach..." He put a copper pot on the fire, "It doesn't matter, it's not a shame to drink too much, and I won't tell anyone else."

Kyle opened his mouth, but finally gave up the idea of ​​explaining... It didn't matter, Hagrid wouldn't listen anyway.

Then the topic quickly shifted to the Triwizard Tournament.

"The competition will be exciting. I never thought I would see the Triwizard Tournament resume again in this lifetime."

Hagrid grinned and said, "You will see things you have never seen before. The first project is so exciting, it is...ah, I shouldn't say it, I shouldn't."

"Go on, Hagrid." Connor urged: "What is the first project?"

But Hagrid just shook his head.

"I don't want to spoil your fun." He said, "But this is not allowed. Before the Warriors start the project, all information must be completely confidential, and I think for Kyle, even if he doesn't know, There must be no problem."

Kyle actually wanted to tell Hagrid that he cared about the content of the competition, especially after Chris said that the first event was to break through the levels.

Since it is a breakthrough, there cannot be only one dragon. The more you know, the better it will be.

But Hagrid didn't give him this chance and directly changed the subject and started talking about the rune horses in the paddock.

After listening for a while, Kangna felt a little bored and began to look at other things in the cabin.

Inadvertently, she saw a large wooden box under Hagrid's bed, and there was a slight crackling sound inside, as if there was something inside.

"Hagrid, what's in that..." Connor asked curiously, "Is it related to the Triwizard Tournament?"

"What?" Hagrid turned his head and then said with a smile: "Of course not, but I think they are as beautiful as the big guy in the project."

"Beautiful big guy?" Kyle raised his eyebrows, feeling like he had discovered a hidden message.

The only things Hagrid can describe as beautiful are those magical animals with fangs and claws.

However, Hagrid didn't realize that he had let slip. He had already stood up and took the box out from under the bed.

"The little one was born yesterday." Hagrid opened the box with excitement and placed it in front of Kyle and Connor.

Kangna's face began to turn pale quickly and visibly to the naked eye, and her body subconsciously leaned back, trying to get further away from the box in front of her.

There was a group of gray-white, slimy things inside. It looks like a giant lobster with its shell removed, or some kind of slug with legs.

Moreover, their tails would emit some sparks from time to time. What Kangna heard just now was the sound of sparks hitting the box.

"What the hell is this?" Kang Na's face turned pale.

She felt that compared with this thing, the Pherobian caterpillar could be said to be very beautiful.

"I named it the Blast-Ended Skrewt," Hagrid said. "I'm going to start a big project and let the students be responsible for raising them."

Kangna's expression changed again.

She obviously didn't think this was a good idea, but she didn't know how to persuade Hagrid to give up this idea, so she could only look at Kyle for help.

"Okay..." Kyle nodded and said, "Hagrid, are you sure you want to do this?"

"What?" Hagrid looked away from the squid, "Of course, don't you think this is a very fulfilling thing... being able to watch a little guy grow up with your own eyes."

"I understand what you are thinking." Kyle said, "But I have only one question...are these newly bred magical animals, right? After all, I have never seen them before."

"That's right." Hagrid said proudly, "This is the offspring of a manticore and a fire crab."

"Very good, new species." Kyle said, "Don't you forget, my dad is one of the judges of the Triwizard Tournament, and he will come to Hogwarts often this year."

"Of course I know, but what does this have to do with the Blast-Ended Skrewt..." Hagrid suddenly froze mid-sentence.

Only then did he remember that Chris was the deputy... no, the director of the Department for the Management and Control of Magical Creatures. He was in charge of all kinds of things related to magical creatures. Refereeing was just his side job.

And because of the snake-body swallow-tailed beast incident in the past few years, he has been called to the Ministry of Magic many times.

This time the Explosive-Tailed Skrewt is obviously illegal, just like the Snake-Bodyed Swallow-tailed Beast.

"Well... um... actually..." Hagrid looked at Kyle and said hesitantly: "I, I just put them together... I didn't mean to... these are all coincidences."

"I can keep it a secret for you," Kyle said, "but I don't know what happens to the others. If someone accidentally lets it slip and my dad overhears it when we're discussing the Blast-Ended Skrewt, then no solution anymore……"

Hagrid had a look of confusion on his face.

Is he going to give up on a big project that he has been looking forward to for a long time?

"Also." Kyle continued: "It doesn't matter if you want to introduce Blast-Ended Skrewts to everyone, but before that, I think it's better for you to find out their habits first.

Don't forget that they are related to manticores, and their tempers will definitely not be very docile. You don't want to see any students get hurt in your class. "

"Of course not!" Hagrid blurted out.

Being discovered by Chris, and the possibility that some students might be injured... Kyle's words helped him make up his mind.

After hesitating for a moment, Hagrid stuffed the boxes back under the bed in frustration, giving up the idea of ​​moving them to class.

Seeing this, Kang Na also breathed a long sigh of relief.

Fortunately, they can finally have a normal Care of Magical Creatures lesson later.
