Elwyn and Hermione walked to the fireplace and heard Ron trying to comfort Harry.
"You'll do well!" Ron said. "You have a crossbow!"
"Yes!" Harry nodded as if his stomach was cramping. "I have a crossbow, but Malfoy …"
Harry did not look very confident. Before Elwyn and Hermione could say anything, he suddenly stood up and shouted, "Team, go to sleep!"
It seemed to be a signal, and everyone felt relieved.
Suddenly, the entire common room became empty. In order not to disturb the players' rest, the other students also returned to their dormitories early.
Elwyn watched Hermione go back to her dormitory. He sat alone in the empty common room for a while, his thoughts moving from the upcoming Quidditch final to the eight-eyed spider.
Just as he was thinking about it, the door of the common room opened.
Corin climbed in from the outside, panting. He was holding a thick stack of forms in his hand.
"What are you holding in your hand?" Elwyn asked curiously.
"About the elective courses for next year, as you know, the third grade needs to add a few more courses." Corin took out a form and handed it to Elwyn. "I just came back from Professor Meg's office. She wanted to personally announce this, but considering that tomorrow is the Quidditch final, she asked me to bring the form and publicity materials back first."
He walked over and stuck a large notice on the bulletin board next to the fireplace. The first thing Elwyn saw was an introduction to Divination.
Just like the cover of "Uncovering the Fog to See the Future", after introducing Professor Trelawney and Divination, the notice had a huge black dog standing in the fog. It looked like the Animagus form of Sirius, representing misfortune and disaster.
If possible, Elwyn did not want to waste any time on this class.
However, when he thought of those unpleasant prophecies, he had to change his mind. He decided to stick to his previous plan and try to get as close to Professor Trelawney as possible so that he could grasp clues at any time to deal with the illusory future that was changed by his own hands.
"Which course are you going to take?" Corin said, "I took a quick look just now. There are many courses to choose from. Professor Meg suggested that we consider it carefully."
"I haven't decided yet, but I have to take the divination class!" Ivan grabbed the quill on the table and ticked off the divination class.
"You actually chose divination lessons!" Corin said in surprise. "I thought you, like Hermione, always thought that Professor Trelawney was a liar."
"Most of the time, but I can't deny that in rare cases, she can make real predictions, and they are extremely important. That's why I chose this course," Elwyn explained. "And I have to admit, it's very easy to get high marks in this course. It doesn't matter if you really see the future or not, you just have to keep predicting that you will encounter misfortune. Professor Trelawney likes to read about this. "
"I don't have any ideas, but I know that Harry also chose divination. Since both of you have chosen it, it should be fine." Corin also ticked off his form and asked uncertainly, "By the way, what other courses did Harry choose?"
It seemed that he was going to choose the same course as Harry. Although they were very familiar with each other, Corin was still the biggest supporter of Harry among all the little wizards in Hogwarts. In some ways, he was even more fanatical and persistent than Ginny.
"The Conservation of Magical Creatures. Hagrid is the professor of this course. He is always happy to bring some strange magical creatures to the class."
"Yes, I remember!" Corin raised his voice slightly and said in sudden realization, "Hagrid and his monster friend, the hippogriff with wings. I've read the articles that you and Hermione wrote. At the beginning of the semester, it taught Malfoy a good lesson. It did what I always wanted to do. "
"The hippogriff with wings!" Elwyn suddenly had a flash of inspiration.
"Buckbeak is good, but I hope that Hagrid doesn't bring it to the class. It looks scary." Corin continued, "I've read in books that ancient wizards often used this kind of flying monster to travel. In medieval Europe, there was a legend that someone rode one."
Corin began to tell Elwyn a story that he had heard when he was young. It was about the hippogriff and the hippogriff in the Muggle World.
Elwyn was sure that Corin had definitely confused the hippogriff with the griffin. The main characters in the stories were all griffins. It was a creature with the body and claws of a lion, the head and wings of an eagle, and the feathers and fur of a sun.
The world of magic generally believed that the griffin was the result of a dangerous magic experiment by the ancient wizards. It was far more dangerous than the hippogriff.
In recent years, through the research of magical biologists, a new theory was gradually born, which was that the hippogriff was the offspring of a gryphon and a horse. The male gryphon mated with the female horse to give birth to the hippogriff.
However, the credibility of this theory was very low. From the historical records that were passed down, it could be seen that the hippogriff had always looked down on horses. Therefore, the union between them was unusual.
There was even a saying in the medieval world of magic: Don't try to match a griffin with a horse. It meant that it was impossible.
Therefore, as the offspring of the union between the two, the hippogriff's existence itself was a symbol of miracles or love.
All of this was pure speculation in the academic world. It was almost impossible to find a living griffin in the world of magic to verify this theory. This famous magical creature in history had long been extinct, and only existed in the magnificent myths and legends.
There was no need for Elwyn to tell Corin about this. They were not conducting academic research. However, when Corin mentioned the hippogriff and Buckbeak, it reminded him that he could use Buckbeak to fly to Aragok's lair.
There were many drawbacks to the flying broom, such as not being portable, unstable driving, and not being able to safely retreat after killing Aragok. However, riding Buckbeak did not have any of these problems.
The hippogriff's intelligence was very high. It could understand the wizard's language and the meaning expressed. It could completely bring Elwyn to the eight-eyed spider's territory and bring him away after everything was done.
Moreover, Buckbeak had a certain amount of attack power. It could help Elwyn instead of Elwyn worrying about it when he was fighting the eight-eyed spider.
The more Elwyn thought about using the hippogriff's Buckbeak as a replacement for the flying broom, the more he thought about it.
