Study Days at Hogwarts
Chapter 67 Bowtruckle
As soon as they approached Hagrid's hut, Fang rushed towards it and circled around several people. Albert knelt down, reached out and rubbed the dog's head, and then scratched his chin, which made Yaya quiet down.
Hagrid had already opened the wooden door of the room and invited everyone to enter.
There was only one room in the hut, with ham and roasted pheasant hanging from the ceiling, and a copper kettle on the fireplace. The fire had long been extinguished. There was a large bed in the corner with a quilt made of rags.
Hagrid picked up a pink umbrella in the corner, lit the fire, and hung a copper kettle filled with water on it to boil. It seemed that he was going to make tea for them.
While doing these things, he did not forget to turn around and say to the three of them: "Next time, next time I see you sneaking into the woods, I will hand you over to Professor McGonagall. She will definitely make you Don’t you dare go into the woods again.”
"We are just curious... what is in the woods." George muttered quietly, "Why, Dumbledore would ban students from entering the woods."
"There are wild beasts in the woods, as well as magical creatures that are very dangerous to you." Hagrid explained to them impatiently, "Dumbledore banned you from entering the woods for a reason. It is very dangerous to you now." It’s just too dangerous.”
"Hagrid, be careful not to let the Bowtruckle fall into the fireplace. They seem to be afraid of fire." Albert changed the subject.
"Oh!" Hegla opened the chair and sat down. He put the Bowtruckle on the table, took out the herbs from the cabinet next to him, put it in his mouth, chewed it, applied it to the Bowtruckle's wound, and also applied it to the Bowtruckle's wound. Use some small wooden boards to secure the Bowtruckle and bind it with unicorn tail hair.
However, this was a delicate job for Hagrid, but he still took it seriously.
However, the bandaged bowtruckle didn't seem to appreciate it, and was a little annoyed by the small wooden board on its body.
"I'm not very good at this kind of detailed work." Hagrid said to everyone after handling the Bowtruckle. "The Bowtruckle's hands and feet are very slender and can be easily injured and broken."
The kettle rang. Hagrid poured boiling water into the big teapot and poured everyone a cup of amber tea. Next to it was a plate of rough, irregular-shaped biscuits.
"This is fresh food." Albert asked, picking up the plant Hagrid was chewing.
"Well, cinnamon is the simplest and most effective plant I can find. I specifically asked Professor Sprout for some. It is very suitable for treating the injuries of most animals." Hagrid took a sip of hot tea and added After eating a few biscuits, I started to introduce the raising of bowtruckles to everyone with great interest.
Hagrid took out a wooden box, which contained something similar to brown rice. He said to several people: "Feed this to the bowtruckles, it will make them feel better."
"Hagrid, what is this?" Albert grabbed a small handful and handed it to the two bowtruckles that were trying to get rid of the bandages. They immediately stopped struggling and pounced on them to eat.
"Rubber," Hagrid said, "a kind of bug that Bowtruckle likes to eat. Of course, fairy eggs are also their favorite food."
Fred and Lee Jordan both try to feed the Bowtruckle, while George struggles with a cookie.
Albert saw with his own eyes that George picked up a small biscuit and put it into his mouth. He took a few bites and found that he couldn't bite it. It's not biscuits, it's stones.
Seeing this scene, Albert wanted to laugh a little, but he didn't want to touch the cookie at all. This kind of biscuit may be just right for Hagrid's teeth, but it is quite harsh for Albert and others.
"Hagrid, what are they for?" Fred asked, pointing to the Bowtruckle.
"What's the use?" Hagrid thought for a while and replied. Bowtruckles are the best rangers. The trees they live in will grow particularly lush, and the wood of these trees is usually suitable for making wands.
"If one day you want to take leaves or wood from the tree guarded by the Bowtruckle, you'd better give them some rhinoceros or fairy eggs to appease them, otherwise be careful of their sharp claws. There have been cases of Bowtruckle stings in the past. A case of blindness.”
"Won't you have some?" Hagrid asked suspiciously, noticing that several people barely touched the biscuits.
"No, it's dinner time." Albert argued. He also took out his pocket watch and checked the time and said, "I think we should go back to the castle so as not to miss dinner time."
"That's right." Hagrid suddenly remembered something and said to Albert, "The dead trunk outside is from the sorbus tree..."
"Thank you Hagrid!" Albert immediately expressed his gratitude to the other party, "I will cut a short piece and take it back later."
"Do you need my help?" Hagrid liked the polite kid in front of him very much. Because of his appearance, many students were afraid of him, and few were willing to chat with him.
"No need!" Albert pulled out his wand, pointed at the dead tree and said, "Split it into pieces."
"Is this enough?"
"I can't take any more." Albert used the cutting spell to cut himself a small section of the trunk. "I may still use some in the future."
"Then I'll put it behind the house, and you need to get it yourself." Hagrid nodded.
"Goodbye Hagrid." Albert picked up a small tree trunk and called the other three roommates to walk towards the castle.
"What do you want with this?" Li Qiaodan asked in confusion.
"You will know in the future." Albert smiled and looked at the three of them and asked, "How is it in the woods?"
"It's similar to the forest near my home." Fred winked at Albert and said, "We entered the forest from the other side. Unexpectedly, we met Hagrid dragging a dead tree trunk. He probably went into the forest to help you. Got the pineapple tree.”
"So, you were caught by Hagrid?" Albert wanted to laugh a little. He felt that the three of them were really unlucky.
"I dare say they must be lying to us. There are no dangerous creatures in the woods." George complained.
Albert thought to himself, if you meet him, he will probably be picked up and eaten, so why bother to gossip here.
Albert asked back: "You said...why do they want to deceive students?"
Fred curled his lips and said, "Percy said there are many dangerous beasts in the woods, but in fact not many people have actually seen those beasts."
"Actually, you need to change your thinking." Albert reminded, "Why doesn't Dumbledore allow students to enter the woods?"
"What secrets do you think...are hidden in the woods?" Li Qiaodan's eyes lit up when he heard this.
"This is possible, of course there are other possibilities." Albert continued to analyze the three people, "There should be many magical creatures living in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Didn't Hagrid say that there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest? These magical creatures are dangerous to us, and going too deep into the Forbidden Forest can cause students to get lost."
