Harry Potter and the Secret Treasures

Chapter 288: Buckbeak and the New Plan

Ivan and Hermione walked up to the fire and heard Ron trying to comfort Harry.

“You'll behave well!” Ron said, "You have a rocket! ”

“Yes!” Harry nodded as if his stomach was cramped, "I had a crossbow, but Malfoy...”

Harry didn't seem very confident and didn't wait for Ivan and Hermione to say anything, and Wood suddenly stood up and yelled, "Team, go to sleep! ”

This seems to be a signal, and everyone feels relieved.

Suddenly, the entire public lounge became empty. In order not to disturb the players' rest, other students also return early to their respective bedrooms.

Ivan watched Hermione return to his bedroom, sitting alone in an unmanned public lounge for a while, and his thoughts shifted from the upcoming Quidditch finals to the octave spider.

While he was thinking about it, the public lounge door was opened.

Colin climbed in panting from the outside, holding a thick sheet in his hand.

“What's in your hand?” Ivan asks curiously.

“With regard to next year's choice of courses, you know, the third grade will require several additional courses.” Colin took a form and handed it to Ivan, "I just got back from Professor McGonagall's office, and she was going to announce it herself, but given that tomorrow is the Quidditch Finals, let me bring back the form and the promotional material first. ”

He walked over and posted a big notice on the bulletin board next to the fireplace, and Ivan saw the first introduction to the divination class.

Like the cover of "Unfogging the Future", after introducing Professor Trelawny and information about divination classes, the announcement shows a huge black dog standing in the fog, as if it were Sirius' Animagus form, representing misfortune and calamity.

Ivan didn't want to waste any time in this class if he could.

But with those unpleasant prophecies in mind, he had to change his mind and decide to stay as close as possible to Professor Trelawny, as he had intended, so that he could grasp the traces of the spider at all times and cope with the illusory future that he had personally altered.

“Which course are you going to take?” Colin said, "I just took a quick look, there are so many doors to choose from, Professor McGonagall suggested we think carefully. ”

“Not yet, but divination classes must be chosen!” Ivan grabbed the feather pen on the table and hit a hook in front of the divination class.

“You chose divination class! Colin was surprised to say," I thought you, like Hermione, had always thought Professor Trelawny was a liar. ”

“This is true in most cases, but it cannot be denied that, in very few cases, she can indeed make true prophecies and is extremely important, which is why I chose this course.” Ivan explains, "and it has to be admitted that this lesson is very easy to score. Whether you really see a future or not, just keep predicting that you're going to be miserable, and Professor Trelawny likes to see that. ”

“I don't have much of an idea, but I know Harry chose divination too, and since you both chose it, that shouldn't be wrong.” Colin also made a row on his own form, uncertainly asking, “By the way, what other lesson did Harry choose? ”

Looking at him, it seemed like he was going to take the same course as Harry. Although very familiar with each other, Colin remains Harry's most admired supporter of all Hogwarts' little wizards, even more fanatical and obsessive in some ways than Ginny.

“Protecting Magical Creatures class, where Hagrid is a professor, is always loyal to bringing some strange magical creatures to the class. ”

“Yes, I remember!” Colin raised his voice slightly, suddenly enlightened, “Hagrid and his monster friend, the eagle horse named Buckbeak, had a winged beast. I read those articles you and Hermione wrote, and at the beginning of the semester, it gave Malfoy a hard lecture and did what I always wanted to do. ”

“Hippocampus!” Evan's mind suddenly glistened.

“Buckbeak is good, but I hope Hagrid doesn't take it to class. It looks terrible.” Colin goes on to say, "I've seen in books that ancient wizards often travel with these flying monsters, legends that often spread in medieval Europe, with some riding a head...”

Colin began to tell Ivan a legend he had heard himself when he was a kid about monsters like the Hippocampus in the world of Muggles.

Ivan can be sure that Colin is definitely confusing the magical creatures of the hippocampus and the vulture, because all the protagonists in these legendary stories he tells are lion vultures, a creature with lion bodies and claws, eagle heads and wings, and sunny feathers and furs.

It is widely believed that vultures are the result of a dangerous magic experiment by upper archaeologists, far more dangerous than hippocampus.

In recent years, studies by amazing biologists have gradually led to the emergence of a new claim that the hippopotamus is a descendant of the hippopotamus and the horse, where the hippopotamus mates with the mare.

However, this assertion is not credible, and it can be seen from the historical literature that lions have always despised horses, so their union is in no way unusual.

There is even a proverb in medieval magic: don't try to match vultures with horses, meaning it's impossible.

So, as a descendant of both, the existence of the hippocampus itself is also a symbol of miracle or love.

These are purely academic speculations. Almost no living vulture has been found in today's magical world to verify it, and this very famous magical creature of history has long been extinct and has only spread to the vast mythological legend.

Ivan didn't have to tell Colin about it either, they weren't doing academic research, but Colin mentioned the hippocampus and Buckbeak, but gave him a wake-up call, and he could use Buckbeak to fly into Aragok's lair.

There are many drawbacks with broomsticks, such as not being portable, unstable performance due to driving, not being able to exit safely after killing Aragok, etc., and riding Buckbeak has no problems at all.

The hippocampus is intelligent enough to understand the language and expression of the wizard, and it can take Ivan to the territory of the octave spider until everything is finished and then take him away.

And Buckbeak himself has a certain amount of aggression, which can help Ivan, not Ivan, to worry about it when he fights the Octopus spider.

Using Buckbeast with wings instead of flying broomsticks, the more Ivan thought it would work.

If it wasn't too late, he'd like to try it now.
