In mid-October, the flu that ravaged Hogwarts did not subside, but intensified. Even several professors were unfortunately recruited.
Fortunately, Felix had the foresight. He got two bottles of refreshing agent from Ms. Pomfrey in advance, and took a sip before class to avoid being infected by unreliable little wizards.
On Wednesday, Felix rarely had classes. He walked out of the castle, followed a path, through the greenhouse, passing by the beating willow, and came to the forbidden forest guard's hut.
As soon as he approached, a big dog barked. Felix waited quietly. After a long while, he walked out of the cabin with a burly guy with a thick beard and feet like a boat.
He yelled to the big dog twice, "Ya Ya, shut up!" Then he turned his head to look at him, his eyes staring.
"Professor Haipu? Are you busy?"
In his eyes, the professor is exquisitely dressed and well-groomed, his hair is neatly organized, and his beard is cleanly shaved. He is completely different from him.
"As a new professor, I suddenly discovered that I have not visited you yet. I have to say that this is very rude..."
"Really?" Hagrid murmured as he blocked the door, obviously not interested.
"I learned from Dumbledore that you are an excellent guard of the Forbidden Forest, and you are very good at magical animals. It just so happens that I am also very interested in these cute little guys."
"Really? Ahem, I mean..."
Felix’s wand was placed on the ring of his left index finger, and a thick book appeared in his hand. The cover was a silhouette of a group of animals.
"This is my gift."
Hagrid's gaze fell on the silhouettes of a group of animals of various shapes, and he said in a little hesitation, "Ah this, you are too polite. I mean... you don't actually need to..."
Hagrid stood there in a daze, waving his thick arms, "Please come in, please come in quickly."
Felix entered Hagrid’s cabin smoothly. From his perspective, the standard bachelor party looks messy, but everything is placed in a convenient position.
When Hagrid handed him a cup, he realized that he was wrong. How many days hasn't this cup been washed? It's all dirty!
After chatting with Hagrid for a few words, he found that his gaze had been on the book, and he naturally shifted the topic to this.
"Hagrid, I made this book by myself. It took a lot of thoughts, I hope you will like it."
Hagrid opened his big hand and picked up the book. Turning to the first page, he was a small animal with a tiger head and a tiger brain. It was supported by two hind limbs, standing upright, with two forearms hanging down on his chest.
The next picture is a scene where this little guy is fighting against a lion. The little guy is quite brave. Facing an opponent more than ten times bigger than it, not only did he not have the slightest timidity, but attacked again and again.
"What is this little guy?" Hagrid's eyes lit up suddenly.
Felix glanced at the picture, "This is a honey badger distributed in Africa. They are very brave and very smart."
The next page is a scene of a honey badger aligning with different animals. Hagrid was fascinated by it, and he kept turning back.
One after another novel little animals appeared in front of him, as if he had opened a new world.
After a while, he raised his head, somewhat puzzled, "Professor Haipu, I haven't seen these animals very much. They don't seem to be magical animals."
"Yes, you are an expert on magical animals, and you have more knowledge in this area than me. Fortunately, I have worked in the Muggle world for two years and I have seen a lot of interesting little animals. They may not have magical features, but they have The unique physiological structure and living environment still have fascinating characteristics..."
"I sorted out some of them from various Muggle books and video materials, and completed this magic book."
Hagrid clearly knew the thoughts of this gift, and he muttered in a low voice: "This is too expensive, too expensive."
Felix smiled, "Hagrid, you are welcome, I have prepared similar gifts for every professor. And—"
"I do have a little thing to ask you for help."
"What is it?" Hagrid asked cautiously.
"I need some unicorn hair, not too many..." Felix looked a little embarrassed.
"Oh, that's all, it's very simple." Hagrid relaxed, he leaned out and pulled a fluffy, dirty mat from the side.
"Yes, there is not enough for me. I have a lot of these things. The little unicorn will change its hair several times before growing up. I help to clean it up."
Felix was a little startled, he took the soft cushion, and it seemed that he had suffered under Hagrid's ass.
Hagrid added: "Although the hair of unicorns contains magical powers, not every one of them can be used as a magic wand. These are the ones that were picked by the old guy Ollivander, you know, He has a cooperation with Hogwarts and will give new students a discount..."
The two then started on the topic of magical animals. Hagrid unexpectedly discovered that this professor did not tell lies, and was completely different from a narcissistic professor.
Professor Haipu knows some magical animals very well, and it can even be said that he knows many things that he does not know.
For example, if you encounter a sphinx, you can say three riddles first, and you can let it fall into a state of confusion and thinking;
For example, when encountering a dwarf monster, you can use magic to deform a stone They are especially afraid of pure white dogs;
For example, the cannibal monster is afraid of glare...
In the middle, the professor also offered butter beer and special cakes, and the two had a great time.
When Felix walked out of Hagrid's cabin, it was already dark.
He saw a little red-haired witch on the side of the road, who looked like a confused character, and was driven back to the castle by him.
The next day, Felix bought a few willow branches and a pot of little devil net from the herbal medicine professor Sprout.
The former is a very precious material, often used to make magic wands, and is also very important in the preparation of a series of potions, but thanks to Harry and Ron-the two drove into a beating willow at the beginning of school At present, this kind of material is quite abundant.
office.
Felix looked at the materials on the workbench: a dirty mat, a few black branches seven or eight meters long, a small pot of plants shrunk into a ball.
He was very satisfied.
Felix is ready to complete a magic artifact.
The production method comes from a fairly old magical original book, which he recently found from the library. Originally, he didn't care. The name of the book "Applications of Alchemy" was no different from what he had seen before.
But he soon realized the difference. The cover of the book was added later, and the pages inside were obviously older. If it weren't for the protection of magic, Felix had no doubt that it would immediately decay to ashes.
In this thin pamphlet, there are more than ten people's notes. Some are messy, some are neat and tidy. There are supplements and corrections to the predecessors, and the arrogance and condescending overlook of the younger generations.
