Elwyn was very familiar with Buckbeak. He had ridden it in the past to raid the lair of the eight-eyed spider.
Seeing Elwyn and the others, Buckbeak stuck its big head over and clicked its razor-sharp beak.
"Oh, dear!" said Hermione nervously. "It's still a little scary, isn't it?"
"A little, but don't be fooled by its appearance. It's actually very friendly," said Elwyn, looking into the eyes of the hippogriff.
Without blinking, he bowed deeply to it, and after a few seconds, Buckbeak also bowed.
Behind him, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine followed suit and bowed.
This was a way to show friendliness and greet a Winged Eagle Head Horse Body beast, even if they were friends.
After bowing, Buckbeak allowed himself to be gently stroked on his feathered head, and appeared very docile.
"We just learned about the hippogriff a few days ago, and Buckbeak is the most popular of all, there's..." said Elaine.
"Hey!" A loud voice interrupted her.
Hagrid turned from the back of the hut, wearing a large floral apron and carrying a sack of potatoes.
His big hunting dog, Fangs, was at his feet. Fangs growled and pounced on Elwyn and the others.
"Don't mess with it! It'll bite your fingers off! "said Hagrid." Oh, it's you guys! "
Fangs jumped up and down at Hermione and Elaine, trying to lick their ears, its tail wagging behind it.
Hagrid stopped, looked at the four of them, then turned and strode into the hut, slamming the door behind him.
"Oh, dear!" said Hermione, looking very sad.
"It looks like he's still angry," said Elwyn.
"Don't worry, he'll be all right," said Harry with a straight face. He went to the hut and banged on the door.
"Hagrid! Open the door, we want to talk to you! "
There was no sound from inside, only Harry knocking on the door.
"If you don't open the door, we will blow it up!" Harry said as he pulled out his wand.
"No, Harry, you can't …" Hermione wanted to stop him, but Yaya kept throwing herself at her. "No!"
No one knew if she was telling Harry not to blow up the door, or telling Yaya not to lick her.
"Why not?!" Harry said, raising his wand. "Stand back!"
"If it's going to explode, just a Restoration Incantation will be enough to restore the door to its original state." Elwyn said, supporting Harry's approach.
As soon as he finished speaking, Hagrid opened the door!
This was what Elwyn and Harry had expected. Hagrid stood there and stared at them angrily.
Although he was wearing a floral apron, he still looked quite scary.
"I'm a teacher!" he shouted at Harry. "Teacher, Potter! How dare you threaten to blow up my door! "
"I'm sorry, Professor," said Harry, deliberately emphasizing the last two words as he put his wand back into his robe.
Hagrid seemed to be stunned. He stared at Harry with wide eyes.
"When did you start calling me 'Professor'?"
"When did you start calling me 'Potter'?"
"Oh, clever!" Hagrid growled, shaking the potato sack in his hand so hard that dust flew everywhere. "Interesting enough to get me involved, isn't it? Well, come on in, you ungrateful bastards … "
He muttered angrily and stepped back to let them through the door.
Elwyn, Hermione, and Elaine followed Harry into the hut, and Yaya followed them happily.
"Why did you come to see me?!" Hagrid said angrily. Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Elaine sat down at his big wooden table. Fang immediately put his head on Harry's knee, drooling on his robe.
"Why did you come to see me?! Do you pity me? Or do you think I'm lonely or something? "
"No!" Harry said immediately. "We just wanted to see you."
"We missed you!" Hermione said, trembling.
"We were worried about your situation, so we came to explain the course selection to you," Elwyn said.
"I didn't give up on your class, and I don't plan on giving it up in the future. I think you teach very well." Elaine said finally.
Her words made Hagrid's face look a little better, but then he turned around angrily.
He stomped back and forth, using the huge copper teapot to make tea, muttering something. Finally, he put down four teacups the size of small barrels, the color of the tea was as deep as mahogany. He also brought over a plate of his homemade rock skin pancakes.
Elwyn was very hungry. Although Hagrid's cooking was not to his taste, he immediately reached out and grabbed a piece.
Harry and Hermione did the same. Elaine took a piece, took out a crystal bottle, and dripped a few drops of dragon blood on it.
"Hagrid!" Hermione said timidly. Hagrid sat down at the table with them and began to peel the potatoes. He used so much force that it seemed as if he hated every potato. "Just like Elaine said, we like your class very much and think you teach very well. In fact, we really want to continue with the Conservation of Magical Creatures class."
Hagrid snorted hard through his nose, as if a snouted cow had landed in the potatoes at breakneck speed.
"Really!" Hermione said. "But we can't fit in our schedules!"
"Yes, that's right!" Hagrid said again. "That's why you all gave up."
Suddenly, there was a strange creaking sound, and they all turned to look.
Hermione raised her head to take a look and let out a soft shriek.
Elwyn jumped up from his seat and went around to the large bucket in the corner.
The bucket was filled with foot-long maggot-like things. They were sticky, white, and writhing.
Elwyn frowned. What was this? Oversized worms or maggots?
These worms were so fat. Looking at their writhing bodies, Elwyn felt a little disgusted.
"What is this?" Harry asked, trying to sound curious rather than disgusted.
Elaine stared at the bucket for a while and quickly put down the rock skin cake that had just been soaked in dragon blood.
"Giant grubs," Hagrid said.
"Giant grubs …" This didn't seem like a magical creature.
"Yes, I raise them to feed Aragok," Hagrid said. "There's nothing to be afraid of."
As he spoke, for no reason, he suddenly burst into tears. They looked at each other.
"Oh, Hagrid!" Hermione cried, jumping up and hurrying around the table.
To avoid the bucket of giant grubs, she deliberately went around the far end.
