The Admiral of Hogwarts

Learning is a gradual process, and learning how to use firearms is naturally no exception.

So, in the first day of practice, Hermione spent most of her time understanding the various structures of firearms and the weapon's safety regulations. Only at the end did she try firing a magazine of bullets with a PPK pistol under the close protection of Veneto.

"Why do you think Veneto and the others carry these things around?" On the way back to the dormitory after practice, Hermione asked Hugo curiously.

"I guess it's because of hobbies," Hugo shrugged and said. "As far as I know, many wizards like to collect Muggle items."

"That's right." Hermione nodded. After studying magic for two years, she also realized that the lethality of this weapon belonging to ordinary people is far less than that of a wand. So it is understandable that some wizards collect this out of curiosity.

In the following period, the school entered a normal teaching process, and even the Dementors at the school gate did not affect the normal progress of teaching work.

However, because the Boggart was killed in the last Defense Against the Dark Arts class, Lupin started the third-year Ravenclaw and Slytherin classes with Red Caps.

It has to be said that Professor Lupin is indeed good at teaching. At least according to Enterprise, the knowledge taught in Lupin's class is very practical.

Obviously, the students of Hogwarts are also discerning people, so even though Professor Lupin is ragged, most people still have respect for him.

The reason for saying most is because Malfoy and several Slytherin students kept pointing at Professor Lupin's clothes and mocking him.

However, this kind of mockery did not last long, because one day when Malfoy and his gang were pointing and commenting on Lupin's dress in the corridor, they were directly caught by Enterprise and each deducted ten points.

"Malfoy, insulting a professor's dress is unacceptable. I think you should learn how to respect others," Enterprise said to Malfoy after deducting points.

"Regarding this matter, I will also talk to Professor Snape. I hope he can take good care of the moral qualities of certain Slytherin students."

It has to be said that Enterprise's tactic of deducting points and calling parents is still very useful to Malfoy. At least after being treated like this once, Malfoy never made trouble in public again.

In addition to Professor Lupin, Hagrid's teaching work has also gradually entered a better state recently. However, since the Hippogriff almost caused trouble in class, Hagrid suddenly went from one extreme to the other.

As a result, his performance in class recently has been quite unstable. For example, in the last three classes, he introduced the rather beautiful fairies, the common magical pest Chizpurfles, and the super simple and super boring Flobberworms to the students.

"Tutoring students is really more troublesome than being with dragons." This day, taking advantage of the break, Hugo and Veneto ran to Hagrid's to drink tea. As a result, after Hagrid poured tea for them, he began to talk about the recent situation.

"But thanks to your reminder, otherwise something would have happened in the first class. At least I never thought before that someone would take the initiative to provoke a Hippogriff after a warning."

"This is normal. After all, students are not Aurors and cannot completely obey orders with a single command," Hugo said with a smile, "By the way, what animal are you going to introduce to us next class?"

"Knarls, a large bird that can apparate short distances," Hagrid gestured with his arms open.

"These Knarls were caught by the Aurors in Hogsmeade when they were cracking down on smuggling of magical creatures. Fortunately, I am familiar with the Auror in charge of the team, so I can temporarily borrow them for a week to serve as teaching aids."

After chatting for a while about school and course content, the three gradually began to talk about various interesting things. At this moment, Hagrid talked about a strange thing he encountered in the Forbidden Forest a few days ago.

"A nymph has recently come to the Forbidden Forest, I don't know when," Hagrid raised his beer mug-sized teacup, took a sip of tea, and then said. "That song is the best song I have ever heard in my life."

"Nymph?" Hugo and Veneto looked at each other, and then asked curiously. "Is the nymph you are talking about the kind of creature that belongs to the same category as Veela, but likes to live alone."

"Yes, although I can't be 100% sure, it's probably right." Saying that, Hagrid's face showed a look of reminiscence. "That's what I met the day before yesterday. At that time, I planned to go to the Forbidden Forest to check on the situation of the unicorns."

"As a result, when I walked into that clearing, I saw a girl with silver hair and sky-blue eyes playing a harp in the moonlight. And beside her, several unicorns were dancing around her."

"Maybe it was because my movements were too loud, so the nymph discovered me. Then I saw her turn directly into a unicorn, and then ran into the forest with the other unicorns and disappeared."

"Could this be a wizard?" Veneto asked, "Like Professor McGonagall, an Animagus."

"Absolutely impossible." Hagrid waved his hand and said decisively.

"First of all, humans can only approach unicorns at most, but it is absolutely impossible to control the actions of unicorns like I saw. Secondly, Animagus transformations are limited to ordinary animals and cannot become magical creatures like unicorns."

"That nymph was wearing a beautiful white gauze dress and holding a harp in her hand. So it means she must have been in contact with human society."

After answering Veneto's question, Hagrid said. "So I plan to write some notes and leave them in the Forbidden Forest recently to see if I can contact her."

"After all, as the darling of nature, nymphs have a much deeper understanding of various magical animals than humans, so if I can contact her, I can learn more about this knowledge."

"White gauze dress? Harp?" After hearing Hagrid say this, Hugo and Veneto immediately thought of one person, and then immediately began to contact Counterattack in Hogsmeade through the Admiral Network.

"Isn't today a holiday?" A somewhat ethereal voice sounded in the Admiral Network. "Why did Admiral Brother think of contacting me."

"I have something to ask you." After confirming that he had contacted Unicorn, Hugo immediately asked. "Did you come to the Forbidden Forest a few days ago?"

"Of course I came!" Unicorn said happily. "Compared to London, this place can be said to be great. Not only is there a pure natural forest, but also many friendly small animals."

Okay, now the situation is clear. The nymph that Hagrid saw, who was not described at all in the original text, was not a sudden uninvited guest, but Unicorn who ran to the Forbidden Forest to enjoy nature.

Of course, Hagrid didn't know about this. Throughout the chat, he kept talking about his ideas on how to get in touch with Unicorn, and felt that he would definitely be able to learn something from her.
