Hogwarts: I'm Cousin Harry

Chapter 202 200. Can I Ride You?

"In the face of hippogriffs, don't do things they don't like, especially don't provoke them."

Hagrid took the lead and demonstrated: "The first thing is to bow, look like me."

"As long as they return the salute, you can ride on it. If they don't return the salute, then we have to stay away. This means that they may be in a rut or have a bad temper."

It has to be said that Hagrid is really good at dealing with magical creatures. No matter how powerful the magical creatures are, he can 'get along' with them smoothly.

Probably because he, like Dudley, has a very strong 'reason'.

"Anyone want to be the first to try?"

Hagrid asked the other young wizards, pointing to the hippogriffs.

Seeing the powerful wings and half-foot-long sharp claws, all the little wizards took a step back in unison, including Malfoy, Neville and Harry.

If everyone steps back and one person does not move, then this person is equivalent to taking a step forward.

"Very well Dudley, you are brave, come up and try."

Dudley: .
Now that he was named, he gave it a try. After looking around, he chose a Hippogriff with black feathers.

It is the strongest looking of the twelve horses.

Dudley was worried that if he chose one at random, he would be crushed.

No one in the group of unicorns could bear his weight.

"This hippogriff is called Piquepique."

Hagrid patted the opponent's body, then stepped aside, seeing Dudley walking up with a thorn, he quickly reminded him.

"The first thing is to bow, remember, like I just did."

Hagrid hadn't finished speaking when he heard a series of strange tones coming from Dudley's mouth.

Then I saw him walking straight towards 'Pike Peak' again.

"Dudley don't get close to each other anymore, it will be dangerous."

Hagrid was startled when he saw this, and quickly shouted: "Bow! Bow quickly!"

It would be too bad if the little wizard was attacked in the first class.

"Can I ride you?"

Dudley looked straight at 'Pike Peak' and said.

"The hippogriff is a creature of great pride, and if it doesn't bow, it will."

Hagrid had rushed out, shouting as he ran.

He didn't understand why Dudley just wouldn't bow.

However, Hagrid hadn't finished speaking, and the next second he saw a scene that almost made his eyes pop out. Facing Dudley oncoming, that 'Peak Peek' unexpectedly bent down slowly.

"This"

Hagrid stopped in his tracks, knowing full well the hippogriff's mannerisms that this meant that 'Peek Peek' had given Dudley permission to ride on it.

But...how is it possible, he hasn't bowed yet!
"Don't worry, Professor Hagrid, I know a little bit of Hippogriff's language."

Dudley explained, and with a tiny gesture, he slid onto the body of 'Peek Peek'.

Pique Pique only felt a surge of force, his limbs were slightly bent, but he still managed to stand up.

After all, they are descendants of Griffins, and their load-bearing capacity is much stronger than that of unicorns.

Dudley sighed.

Hermione, who is one of Dudley's closest friends, thought of the strange tone that Dudley uttered just now, which seemed to be very similar to the cry of the Hippogriff, realized something, and blurted out: "The Hippogriff Lao Qiang?"

Immediately, there was a burst of exclamation among the young wizards.

'As expected of Mr. Dursley, he can even speak such an unpopular language.'

After Peake carried Dudley forward for a few steps, he stopped moving. No matter how Hagrid shouted, he refused to take a step forward.

"Why don't you fly?" Hagrid nodded in wonder.

why not fly
Too heavy. Can't fly.

Dudley, who was sitting on top of Peake, could clearly feel its limbs trembling constantly.

It was the limit to be able to support Dudley to walk a few steps.

If the Hippogriff wasn't a haughty creature, it would have been lying on the ground long ago.

unfortunately
Dudley got off Peake with a little regret.

If he sat down again, he was worried that the other party's legs would be broken.

Said to experience the fun of flying.

In the end, I can only ride a dragon.

Far away in the Forbidden Forest, the "Charizard", which had grown to be no different from an adult Charizard, suddenly felt a chill for no reason, snorted, and a handful of flames spewed out from its breath.

"Mr. Dursley gave a good demonstration and a good start. Does anyone else want to ride these little guys?"

And only Hagrid had the right to call the Hippogriff a little guy.

He actually wanted to ride the hippogriff too, but he and Dudley both had the same problem. No magical creature could hold their weight.

Maybe a basilisk could?
The little wizards didn't find it fun to ride the hippogriff, so you looked at me and I looked at you, and no one would be the second to ride.

Seeing that no one came forward, Hagrid could only roll the roll.

"Harry, try it."

"Just this little one. It's called—Buckbeak."

It chose the most docile and least aggressive horse.

Dudley's behavior just now really scared him.

"Trust me, you'll love this feeling!"

Harry successfully rode Buckbeak according to Hagrid's instructions, and then went to heaven.

Indeed, as Hagrid said, he would love the feeling.

Who would resist riding a hippogriff to heaven?
The little wizards below stood on the ground and looked enviously at him ascending to heaven.

With this good start from Harry, the enthusiasm was fully mobilized, and they rushed to bow to the Hippogriff.

This confuses many hippogriffs, bowing to that response one moment and bowing to this one.

Seeing the little wizards going up to the sky one after another, Dudley said that he had absolutely no envy.

Walking to Hagrid's side in two steps in three steps, he asked softly.

"Professor Hagrid, what happened to the carnivorous slugs?"

When he heard Professor Hagrid's words, that big, rough face actually turned a rare blush.

Hagrid was shy.

"not bad"

said Hagrid in a low voice.

The magic snail hybridization project is going well, and the carnivorous slugs are currently being kept in Hagrid's backyard.

"A batch of carnivorous slugs have already started laying eggs. I don't know when they will be able to hatch. I don't think it will take long."

"Thank you very much, Professor Hagrid."

"Please don't say that. I should be thanking you. If you hadn't recommended it to Dumbledore, I wouldn't have become a professor of the Protection of Magical Beasts class."

Yes, it was Dudley who recommended Hagrid to be Professor of Care of Fantastic Beasts.

"That's also because you are excellent."

Although Hagrid's theoretical knowledge in books is not so good, his practical knowledge is definitely rich, and he is more than enough to be a professor of protection of magical animals.

"By the way, Professor Hagrid, I like Pique Pique very much, can I feed it often?"

"Of course, I think it likes you too."

Hagrid was dazed by Dudley's few words from the professor, so he subconsciously agreed.

He didn't know what that meant.

Dudley smiled in satisfaction.

In the near future, there will be another member on the red and white ball at the waist.

At this time, the three words 'domesticable' are marked on Pique's head.
