Hogwarts Card System

Tad and Hagrid discuss the centaurs, with whom Hagrid communicated frequently in the Forbidden Forest.

Don't look at the horse people as if they are not eating fireworks and are completely closed. Actually not.

It is difficult for them to be self-sufficient in all aspects, and they need the supplies of the wizarding society.

Every month, Hagrid would go to the centaur tribe to take away the herbs and magic materials they picked, and then bring some supplies needed by the centaur.

Hagrid has a right to run amok in the Forbidden Forest.

Not only can you fight!

What's the use of playing? Coming out to hang out is to talk about power~

Ted and Hagrid chatted about the tribal social structure of the centaurs, and remembered some knowledge that Professor Quirrell had left for him.

Professor Quirrell had also studied the centaur.

It's just that the direction of research was quickly changed to study species that are not very protected by law, and even if they are caught, they will be fined at most-such as giant monsters.

Therefore, Professor Quirrell did not delve into some issues, such as the issues that Ted has always been concerned about.

Ted asked carefully, "Hagrid, are there many centaurs?"

"Not many! There are less than eighty tribes in the Forbidden Forest."

"What about the female centaur and the baby?" Tad asked again.

"I don't see many female centaur. They are usually in the center of the tribal gathering place and are protected. The same is true for the pony - the centaur call the underage pony and little wizard a foal. "

Ted nodded, and finally saw: "Then may I ask, did the horses also grow up drinking? Where did they drink?"

Hagrid scratched his head. "I-I don't know. I haven't seen it!"

The eyeballs of Malfoy behind him were about to pop out: What the hell are you talking about? Drink, drink? !

At this time, Malfoy finally confirmed: You must not mess with this Ted, he is different from us normal people! He is perverted!

Ted felt a little aggrieved: You misunderstood me! I'm just wondering if centaurs are mammals? Where did the baby come from again... scientific research, what's wrong with me? !

Ted's question shocked Malfoy for several years. Even after several years, I still think about this problem. Almost became his demon: where did he drink it?

Well, it really was assimilated unconsciously.

Enter Zhilan's room, and you won't smell its fragrance for a long time~

...

"Be careful!" There was a faint light flickering in Ted's arms, Ted shouted to remind Hagrid and Malfoy, and at the same time waved his wand "Frostbolt!"

A sharp blue ice arrow twenty centimeters long flew out, colliding with the huge black shadow that suddenly rushed from the ground.

"There are many obstacles!"

"Frost Nova!"

Ted's casting was too fast, a spell and the cold shock wave under his feet flew out almost at the same time.

The black shadow was hit by many obstacles, and the black shadow didn't seem to be seriously injured by the Frost Arrow, but the many obstacles did slow down its pounce.

Then the cold blast of Frost Nova covered its body surface.

"Gah~" With a dull cry like a cow mooing, the thing was half-frozen by a large block of ice. Although she can still move, her movements are as slow as those of an old lady.

Hagrid pulled the trigger, and a crossbow bolt thicker than Ted's thumb "popped" into the monster's body, and then - Hagrid dropped the hunting crossbow, screaming and rushed up!

A big fist like a hammer landed on the monster's slippery body...

A minute later, Hagrid stood up out of breath, and cursed, "Damn it! How could there be a frogghost appearing on the edge of the Forbidden Forest? It's so big!"

The one who attacked Ted and the others was a giant toad that was as big as a jeep.

There are tentacles of different lengths on its head, and there are eyeballs on the tentacles.

It hid in the mud underground, covered with thick rotting leaves, motionless as if in hibernation, not even breathing.

Hagrid had a chat with Ted, and he kept thinking about the centaurs. In addition, he didn't expect that there would be a frog monster leaving the swamp area and running to the edge of the forbidden forest, so he was fooled by this possibility.

This thing is actually very dangerous. Although it doesn't have much magic ability, the skin has strong magic resistance. Moreover, they are strong and good at sneak attacks, and they often swallow their prey alive in one bite. They are recognized as half-dangerous magical creatures by the Ministry of Magic.

Thanks to the psicrystal servant Peter in Ted's arms, it has been driving "spiritual detection" to replace Ted's perception of the surrounding mental body, and it has noticed the weak thinking fluctuations of this big toad, so it reminds Ted in time, Avoid being attacked.

Ted and Hagrid will naturally not be affected by this big toad, but if they attack suddenly, Malfoy might be swallowed by the pill~

...

Although the one-minute battle is not long, it is also intense.

Without Ted's assistance, Hagrid would have had a hard time killing this thing.

Mainly he couldn't use his little umbrella (his wand) in front of both Tad and Malfoy.

Now, Hagrid was carefully dividing up the spoils.

Although this big toad is ugly, it can be regarded as full of treasures.

Tongue, skin, tentacles, eyes, internal organs... are all magic materials, and some of them are quite valuable.

While dealing with it with a knife, Hagrid said, "Ted, you got half of the spoils this time, and you used that freezing spell really well. You froze all the tentacles!"

At this time, both Ted and Malfoy hid far away. After all, Hagrid's actions were a bit bloody.

Malfoy was even more frightened and hid behind Fangya just now, but now he has gained Fangya's contempt.

Ted walked over to the shocked and depressed Malfoy.

"Sit down, there is still more than an hour. Do you want to eat?" Ted handed over a piece of beef jerky.

Malfoy hesitated, then took it.

He doesn't eat such inferior food, but he is really hungry, and the beef jerky is really delicious.

Malfoy: I can bear it~ Hey, it smells so good!

Tad leaned against the trunk and looked through the thick leaves at the dappled moon.

"Draco, can I call you that?"

Malfoy hesitated, and nodded for the sake of beef jerky.

"Draco, I don't hate you." Ted's words startled Malfoy.

"I don't think there are any real bad guys in school, and I'm willing to make friends with anyone. Maybe our colleges are different, but that's not why we're against each other..."

Malfoy stared blankly at Ted, forgetting to chew the beef jerky: What are you talking about? Are you crazy?

Ted continued: "Draco, I don't care if you insult me, I don't care about it. But I can't tolerate you insulting my friend. Mudbloods shouldn't come out of your mouth... I hope you There are also friends who want to protect."

Malfoy stared blankly at Ted, he really didn't know what to do, or what to say?

Is he mocking me for having no friends? I... I have... I have... hiss~

"What do you think of pure blood?" Ted asked.

"Pure blood?"

"Yes, it is the pure blood in your mouth."

"Pure blood is a badge of honor!" Malfoy cheered.

Ted nodded: "What if I tell you that's not the case?"

"you……"

Ted cut him off with a wave of his hand.

"Do you know the history of your Malfoy family?"

"Of course I know!"

"No, you don't. History is a victor's little girl who dresses up as she pleases."

"The Statute of Secrecy divided wizarding and Muggle society, and until then wizards and Muggles had always been mixed. Although many wizarding families can be traced back to BC, they basically intermarried with Muggles. At that time, there were no People purify blood."

"You! You are talking nonsense!"

"For example, your ancestors..."

"Armand Malfoy, as a member of the Norman army, followed William to Britain. Because Malfoy secretly provided magical help to William during this period, he got a piece of land in the golden section of Wiltshire. This land was originally Belonging to a local landowner whose descendants have lived here for ten consecutive centuries...your family isn't even native to Great Britain. Understand?"

"It wasn't until the passage of the "International Federation of Wizards' Secrecy Act" in 1692 that the idea of ​​pure blood gradually emerged in three hundred years."

"At that time, the Malfoy family had fully integrated into the upper class of Muggles. Although you have been strongly denying it now, there is sufficient evidence to prove that Lucius Malfoy I was the suitor of Elizabeth I, but in the end it failed~ "

"Some wizarding historians in the wizarding world believe that the reason why the Queen never got married after that was because she was cursed by your ancestors."

"The Malfoy family has continuously merged the surrounding Muggle lands and expanded their already large manor. You have also successfully dabbled in Muggle currency and assets, becoming one of the richest wizarding families in the UK."

"Although your family opposed the "Secrecy Act" at first, they quickly chose to stand in line when they could not stop it - cutting off all previous ties with the Muggle family and denying that they had a deep intersection with them. "

While Ted was chewing the beef jerky, he was recounting the history of Malfoy's family fortune, and Draco's pupils dilated.

Tonight is destined to be the day when his three views are broken and reconstructed.

For example, the problem of breastfeeding by the horses, and the family history that has never been mentioned.

"It's not shameful to become completely dependent on Muggles. On the contrary, it should be the norm in the wizarding world, and even relying on non-magic dignitaries to rise is one of the most glorious ways for wizards to achieve self-realization recognized by people in the eastern and western magical circles. Merlin himself, for example, is famous in history because of his epic of assisting the Muggle king."

Ted patted the dazed Malfoy on the shoulder, and wiped his hands by the way: "So, whether it's pure blood or not, everything depends on the interests. Pure blood is just an excuse for vested interest groups to gather together."

"I can tell you a secret..."

Ted leaned closer to Malfoy's ear: "The mysterious man is a half-blood wizard~"

Malfoy finally forgot how he got back to the castle, back to the bedroom. When I opened my eyes the next day, I felt like I had a nightmare.

In the end, I couldn't take it anymore, and wrote a letter to my father, begging him to tell him the truth...
