Chapter 82

It can be seen that under the influence of Malfoy's injury, Hagrid's state is not very good today.

When all the students arrived, he led them along the edge of the forest. Five minutes later, they were outside a paddock.

"Everybody come to this fence!" he cried. "Stand where you can see. Now, the first thing you have to do is open your books -"

Seeing that most of the students were looking depressed, Maka decided to take the initiative to demonstrate to everyone.

"Everybody, just stroke the spine of the book," he said, telling everyone the correct way to open these monster books with his own actions.

Immediately, everyone followed suit.

It can be seen that some students still find it very interesting, but the shadow brought by these books can not be eliminated in a while.

A biting book. It's really a little scary.

"Oh, yes! Marca did a very good job, adding five points to Hufflepuff!" Hagrid looked happier. "Oh, I mean, Mr. mcgreen."

He paused and then said, "then next, um..."

It was time to call out those winged eagles, but Hagrid hesitated. Maka knew that he was still worried about whether someone would get hurt again.

"Well, in fact, Professor Hagrid just invited me to be his teaching assistant for a class..." Maka suddenly stood up, faced everyone and said calmly, "I think you must have a certain understanding of the course content for some strange reasons."

Maka's teasing tone made Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw's students laugh secretly.

Indeed, few people except Slytherin would like a clown like Malfoy. They didn't have a good impression of him.

Although there will always be people worried about injuries, after all, this seems to be a fact.

"Well, but I want to tell you," Marca cleared her throat. "The course content prepared by Professor Hagrid for you is still very interesting."

"Yes, he has prepared some rare materials for me, which allows me to tell you something I can't find in the book."

Maka said, turning back and motioning Hagrid to bring out the winged eagles.

"Oh, OK."

Seeing that he spoke calmly, Hagrid subconsciously turned and acted.

"Yes, everyone has heard that the content of today's course is' Eagle headed horse winged beast '." Maka continued, "this is a creature born by the intersection of male Griffin and mare. As we know, Griffins despise' horse 'very much, so the birth of Eagle headed horse winged beast must be said to be an unimaginable thing..."

Maka saw that some of Ravenclaw's smart students were nodding. Obviously, the studious Eagles also knew about it.

"And that's why," he continued, "the creature of the winged Eagle horse has always been regarded as a symbol of miracle and love --"

"It's romantic, isn't it?" Marca said.

"Oh, yes! This creature sounds great!" several little girls suddenly said, their eyes shining brightly.

Obviously, Maka's argument is very popular with young girls.

"Hey, Ta! Although it's really interesting, the book says that the natural enemy of this creature is a griffin?" a Ravenclaw boy with glasses couldn't help but say.

But Maka was not worried at all. He calmly explained: "... this just shows the cruelty of survival. We should understand that everything has its different side. It's like our wizards. While killing magical creatures and making various magic drugs to cure diseases, save people and facilitate life with their materials, we must also take responsibility to protect them from extinction and disappearance over time In the dust of history, this is also one of the important significance of the course "protecting magical creatures."

The students listened to what Maka said and unconsciously became serious. Everyone was thinking about the meaning contained in it.

"Of course," Maka added, "it's also because of this cruel side that we can feel how valuable its beautiful side is, isn't it?"

By this time, Hagrid had brought six winged eagles to the open space. It seems that because of yesterday's lesson, he finally decided to reduce the number.

You know, when he gave Gryffindor and Slytherin classes yesterday, he brought a whole dozen!

Although we have more or less known about these creatures, it is the first time to see their real appearance. For a time, everyone's attention was focused on them.

Gryphon horses have winged beasts. They have a horse's body, hind legs and tail, but their front legs, wings and head are still like eagles.

They have steel beaks and bright orange eyes. The claws on the front legs were about half a foot long and looked really dangerous.

Each eagle and horse had a thick feather collar around its neck and a long chain tied to it. The ends of these chains were held in Hagrid's big hand. He followed the animals and ran slowly to the paddock.

"Go up there!" he yelled, shaking the chain and calling these guys to the fence where all the students stood.

When Hagrid walked up and tied these guys to the fence, most of the students couldn't help but step back.

"Gryphon horses have winged beasts." Hagrid shouted loudly, waved to everyone, and then carefully said, "they are really beautiful, aren't they?"

In fact, these half bird and half horse creatures do look very good. They have shiny fur. The color gradually changes from capital to tail, which makes people want to touch it.

Of course, you have to ignore their sharp beaks and sharp claws.

"Well, the first thing you must know about Gryphon winged beasts is that they are proud," Hagrid said, lowering his voice. "You know, it's easy to offend them at the first contact. You need..."

Maka had to shake her head secretly.

If you go on like this, you won't have to take this class. Although Hagrid is a hybrid giant, his heart seems to be inherited by humans - which is a little too delicate.

He is always worried that he will leave a bad impression on the children.

"... as Professor Hagrid said," seeing Hagrid's voice getting lower and lower, Maka had to speak again, "the winged Eagle horse is a proud creature, which is inherited from their paternal blood - that is, the Griffin."

"But for the same reason, they, like Griffins, can be tamed by wizards. They have no preconceived hostility to humans. As long as they know the correct way of communication, they can become your friends and even protect you in the face of danger."

"Oh, yes, that's right! Mr. McLean is very right," Hagrid said happily. "And the way to communicate with them is to wait for them to take action first. It's polite, okay? You go over to it and bow."

"Pay attention, your eyes should always touch it! Then you wait. If it also salutes you, you can touch it. If it doesn't bow, leave it quickly, because it shows that it's in a bad mood at the moment."

"Or maybe you did something wrong," Maka added.

Then, Maka said loudly, "next, I'll give you a demonstration. I hope you can see each step carefully."

"Wait, I'll untie it first -"

But before Hagrid finished, Maka had come to the front of the eagle horse. He stared at it without blinking, and then bowed slightly.

Opposite him, the eagle and horse, who had been annoyed by the shackles of the leather collar, tilted their heads and looked at Maka, and then immediately quieted down.

It can be seen that the eagle horse is staring into Maka's eyes. It looks strange.

"Oh, what's the matter?" Hagrid hurried up and found that the eagle horse seemed uneasy - all the feathers on its neck stood up.

"Forget this one." Maka frowned slightly.

Gryphon horse winged beast is a very sensitive creature to eyes. They can judge whether it is goodwill or malice, timidity or ferocity, so as to avoid danger.

But the eagle horse could not feel any emotion for judgment in Maka's eyes, which made it uneasy in his heart.

"Professor Hagrid, do you have anything to eat? You know, what eagles and horses like..." Maka asked, maintaining her eyes with eagles and horses.

"Oh, of course!" Hagrid took a ferret out of the big pocket behind him and put it in Maka's outstretched hand.

Maka shook the ferret in front of her, and the eagle horse was immediately attracted by its favorite food.

Maka took two steps forward and threw the ferret to it.

The eagle and horse quickly spread their wings, suddenly fanned a few times, raised their necks, caught the ferret thrown by Maka, and then swallowed it.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Maka bowed again.

Facts have proved that for the creature with a slightly lower IQ, such as the winged Eagle horse, giving them food is actually a more appropriate means of making friends.

This time, he hesitated a few times, bent his scaly front knee and lowered his head.

"Well done! You did it!" Hagrid was as excited as if he had done it. He waved his hand and asked Maka to hurry up and touch it.

The students outside the fence seemed relieved and chattered with each other.
