Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead

"Evan, you may have to go a little further today. I didn't find the griffin yesterday, and I have to look for it today.

But yesterday I already found more than half of the areas where it would appear. If it's still not there in the end, it means it's gone. "

As he said this, Hagrid still had a look of pity on his face.

"Hmm~ Then is it possible that it is in other areas of the Forbidden Forest?"

"No, I asked my old friend about the area next to it, but he didn't find it. The other side is the territory of the centaurs, and they didn't find it either, so this last area is the only possibility."

"What about the patrol?"

"I asked two centaur friends to help watch. If a little wizard sneaks in, they will drive him out. After all, centaurs are not as easy to talk to as me."

"Okay, let's go."

Since someone is helping to watch the mission, Alvin is also happy to explore the Forbidden Forest. After all, this forest is really mysterious.

……

Along the way, Hagrid kept talking to Alvin, and you could see that he was really excited! This time Hagrid brought all the medicine he could carry, as well as a pack of meat, which showed that he was well prepared.

I just hope that this big man won't be unable to find the gryphon and cry sadly.

Yaya carried the iron egg and searched in front, and Aguru was also searching in the sky. Before setting off, Ivan gave them a rough sketch of what the griffin might look like, so that they could have a rough target.

By the way, Ivan also gave Yaya a bottle of the previous potion. Now Yaya is smarter than before, and Hagrid is more worry-free.

Ivan feels that this potion is not just about improving affinity, but more like improving pet intelligence, and affinity is secondary.

呖~

A loud eagle cry fell from the sky and landed firmly on Ivan's shoulder.

"Hagrid, let's go over there and take a look. Aguru seems to have found something."

"Then let's go take a look! Come back quickly, Yaya, we've found something here." After calling Yaya and Tiedan back, under the leadership of Aguru, they really saw the griffon!

On a bush, a big guy nearly two meters long was lying on it sleeping, twitching from time to time. It looked like it was not very comfortable.

This guy also has a layer of white fluorescence on his body, which should be the purification magic that Alisa said she used.

From not far away, you could hear the grunting from the griffin's belly. It was obvious that it had indeed eaten the wrong thing.

After taking a closer look, Ivan looked at this creature that was exactly the same as the one in the legend, and he also let out a sigh of admiration.

The lion-like hind half is covered with yellow-brown fur, and the eagle-like head to the forelimbs are covered with golden eagle feathers.

The feathers on their heads are dark gray, but there are two rows of dark golden feathers standing up near their ears, adding a touch of majesty to them.

The feathers of the griffin's wings are as blue as the sky, the feathers on its chest are vermilion, and like the eagle, its beak and feet are dazzling gold, and the tips of its sharp claws are black.

And it is more majestic than the Hippogriff.

In short, the color of this little griffin's coat is very beautiful. Not only Hagrid, but also Alvin was a little fascinated and had the idea of ​​​​raising it.

"Hagrid, it should be fine for the time being. Let's take it back first. Also, I think you'd better not give it random medicine. Its belly should be very poor."

Alvin stopped Hagrid, who was taking out a bunch of bottles and cans, intending to try them one by one.

Because he had never seen it before, Hagrid didn't know what to do for a while.

"Well, I think we can ask Professor Kettleburn to take a look." With that said, Hagrid picked up the sleeping griffon and walked towards the outside of the Forbidden Forest.

Professor Kettleburn is the current professor of the Care of Magical Creatures class. He is also a very old man and has been working on magical creatures all his life.

Even though those magical animals left him covered in bruises, he still loved them! Although he is not as famous as Newt, he is still a senior protector of magical animals. Because he was too old to do anything, he was invited to teach at Hogwarts.

"Hagrid, I think you should learn more knowledge from Professor Kettleburn. This will be more helpful for you to get in touch with magical animals. I think Professor Kettleburn will be happy to teach you."

"I do often ask him for advice, but I am no longer a student at Hogwarts, so I am often afraid of disturbing him." Hearing this, Hagrid was still a little disappointed~

After all, if it hadn't been for that accident...

"It's okay. You have the same hobbies. The professor will not mind. If you really don't dare, you can go to Dumbledore and let him come forward. It will be no problem. In this way, when you encounter magical animals that you have never come into contact with, you will also I can cope with it very well.”

"I think you are right, I will go find Dumbledore later."

Hagrid was a little excited to learn more about the protection of magical animals. He couldn't agree more!

Under Hagrid's leadership, Alvin ended today's trip to the Forbidden Forest and returned to the yard of Hagrid's hut early.

Hagrid put down the griffon and let Alvin watch, while he himself pulled out the old Professor Kettleburn who was sleeping in a daze.

……

"It's okay, it just ate poisonous fruit. Although I don't know why the gryphon appeared in the Forbidden Forest area and violated the nature of a purely carnivorous creature by eating poisonous fruit!

My guess is that some herbivorous creature ate poisonous fruit and was eaten by this little guy before it could digest it, which indirectly caused poisoning. Fortunately, a unicorn helped, otherwise it would have been really in danger. "

The old professor, who was still wearing pajamas, was shivering in the cold night wind. He did not forget to analyze the cause of the griffon poisoning.

Really feeling sorry for this old man, Ivan took out a blanket from Hagrid's hut and put it on him, watching him mix the emetic medicine and feed it to the griffon.

"Okay, just wait for it to spit it out in a while. I can't bear it anymore at my age, so I'm going back first. And! Hagrid, don't try to keep such a dangerous creature in Hogwarts, it won't Be fond of everyone.”

After Professor Kettleburn left, Hagrid was still muttering a little dissatisfied.

"How could it be in danger? Look at how well it looks when sleeping. How could such a cute little guy be in danger~"

After hearing this, Ivan walked up to Hagrid, opened the griffin's mouth, and put his own head in to compare.

This gryphon, which has not yet grown up, can still bite his head off in one bite.

Ivan didn't say anything after doing all this, and just spread his hands in front of Hagrid, and then the silence was deafening...

"Okay, I know~ But I really can't let go of it. It's still so young, and it doesn't even have any brothers or sisters to accompany it! Oh~ the poor little guy~"

As he said this, Hagrid took out his dirty pink heart-shaped handkerchief and started crying.

Professor Kettleburn just talked about the living habits of griffons.

After the young griffon reaches the age of two, it is considered an adult and must travel far away from home to build its own nest.

Occasionally, two or more griffons (usually males, two brothers are the most typical combination) will team up to hunt together.

This situation lasts until one of them finds a mate, so it may only be for a short period of time, but it may be lifelong (poor bachelors...).

Unlike couples who act cautiously, these single couples act more carelessly and are more likely to be seen.

Obviously, this is just the Bachelor! And it is still a young griffon that has just grown up. Otherwise, a fully adult griffon would be at least about 2 to 3 meters long.

"Okay, don't cry. Have you forgotten that I still have this? There is still a little left from last time." Ivan took out the leftover potion for pets to understand human speech from last time.

The first pot was all used on the Curling Wing Demon. The second pot, Tiedan and Aguru, had three bottles each. One pot could produce eleven bottles, so there were five bottles left.

"But, is this okay? I want to be its friend, not its owner!" Hagrid hesitated.

"Then you want to wake up and see it bite off the heads of dozens of children and throw them into its mouth and crunch them one by one?"

"...Okay then~" The picture was so beautiful that Hagrid couldn't even imagine it.

Before the little guy woke up, Ivan poured two bottles of medicine directly in. Griffins are also very intelligent magical creatures. There is no need for three bottles. Two bottles are just insurance.
