Hogwarts and the Atypical Wizard

Chapter 310 Persuading Hagrid

There was a heavy snowfall on Christmas Eve, and Hogwarts was buried in a foot-thick blanket of snow. When I opened the office window and looked out, the light blue carriage of Beauxbatons looked like a pumpkin growing in the ground, and Hagrid's hut looked like a cupcake covered with icing.

The Black Lake had begun to freeze over some time ago, and German Shepherd Strong's large ship was stuck tightly in the ice. The tall masts and sides of the ship were covered with icicles, all of which looked like sharp swords.

Their students finally don't have to be swayed by strong winds every day, but they have to clear the danger above their heads every now and then if they don't want to have a hole poked in their heads.

Sainz went to the kitchen for a tour, comforted the elves and then left. He felt that the catering for the Christmas ball in the original trajectory had been done very well and there was no need for him to give blind instructions.

He said to the elves, "I believe you can take care of everyone!"

The elves were extremely enthusiastic and arranged everything personally. Mr. Zhuge from Wuzhangyuan was a lesson for them!

It's holiday time and students can choose to go home for Christmas or stay in school.

Normally at this time of year, there weren't many people in the school, but this year was different. Almost all students above the fourth grade chose to stay in school. Students in the third grade and below were not allowed to attend the Christmas dance even if they stayed unless invited by senior students. So they all went home in frustration.

There were also third-year girls who tried to achieve their goal by getting an invitation from Harry Potter, the youngest warrior, but all ended in failure.

Harry is similar to Ron, he also loves appearance. If he already has someone in his heart, he will definitely not agree to a junior witch.

Time was delayed again and again, and the little witches who had dreams had no choice but to sign their names on the Christmas school leaving form distributed in mid-December.

The students were on vacation, so Sainz didn't need to prepare lessons and had more time. After coming out of the kitchen, he went straight to the Room of Requirement.

"Master, everything you need is ready."

"Okay, thank you for your hard work, Jinling. Just put them outside for now." Jinling followed his instructions and piled the five slaughtered pigs outside the door of the living area. She bowed slightly and left.

At the same time that Jinling brought the pork, Conte brought breakfast. "Thank you, Conte!" Sainz ate it easily, then got up and left with the pork.

He came to the open space outside the castle, picked up his broom and flew into the forbidden forest.

He came to give the Thestral another extra meal.

After defeating several of these invisible friends, he headed straight for Hagrid's hut.

"Sainz, some more of them died."

"Didn't you separate them?"

"I did that, but they crawled out of the box and when I went there this morning, three of them had been killed."

"Hagrid, you should understand what this means. Their minds are too confused."

Although Hagrid had always insisted that the blasting-tailed skrewts were very interesting creatures, he now had to admit that they were inherently chaotic and cruel. "Indeed."

Animals with a little bit of thinking ability will not kill each other. Although animals often fight with each other for reasons such as competing for territory or mates, if you observe carefully, you will find that they rarely kill their own kind.

Even if they encounter individuals of the same species invading their territory, they will generally only drive them away. As long as one of them admits defeat and runs away, the other will rarely chase and kill it.

Even among relatively cruel cold-blooded animals, individuals of similar size rarely fight to the point of killing each other.

However, the blast-tailed skrewts cannot coexist peacefully at all. Once they meet, they will kill each other. This phenomenon is extremely rare.

Science speculated that perhaps the concept of "same species" was not present in the "consciousness" of the exploding-tailed skrewts. When they encountered other individuals, they could not recognize that the other party was similar to themselves, so they only wanted to kill the other party.

Then he overturned this idea. If the exploding-tailed slugs had no concept of "the same kind", then they should eat each other after killing each other, which can also be regarded as a hunting behavior.

But that is not the case. In fact, after killing their own kind, the exploding-tailed slugs will not eat their corpses. They just simply want to kill the creatures in front of them, especially those that grow into the shape of "exploding-tailed slugs", which can arouse their brutal nature.

Sainz thought that this strong tendency to "kill one's own kind" might be a "blood curse" similar to "werewolfs only want to kill people."

In the original storyline, Hagrid also tried to raise them in separate boxes, but in the end only one survived. Thinking about it carefully, perhaps this is the nature of this creature - only one can exist at a time within a certain range.

Sainz came to Hagrid not to listen to him talk pitifully about his little babies, but to remind Hagrid to be careful with his words.

He wanted to take over Hagrid's position, but he was also willing to fulfill a friend's "obligation".

"Hagrid, let's talk about the blast-tailed skrewt later," Sainz interrupted his chatter, "I see you get along well with Ms. Maxime."

"Hehe..." Hagrid's black beetle-like eyes showed a gentle light, and he said with an intoxicated look on his face, "She is a good girl!"

girl?

very good!

"Ahem!" Sainz cleared his throat. "I'm glad you found such a good friend," he said cryptically. "You must cherish your friendship without my reminding."

"Yes," Hagrid's eyes misted over, "I'd give her everything I have."

"In that case, Hagrid, I think it's time for you to improve your language skills. You should think more about what you say."

Hagrid disagreed and said, "Sainth, thank you for your advice, but you think too much. Ms. Maxime is not a vulgar person. She said she likes straightforward people." Then he said confidently, "I know that the straightforward person she is talking about is me..."

"Uh... well, Hagrid, I admire your confidence," Sainz continued to consider, "but, I mean, you haven't known each other for long enough, so it's okay to keep some private little secrets."

Hagrid had never told him that he was a half-giant, and he didn't want to tell him directly not to tell anyone about it.

"Don't worry, Sainz, you don't have to worry," Hagrid said, patting his chest, "I know the seriousness of this matter. I won't talk nonsense about anything related to Hogwarts."

"Oh, you misunderstood. I'm not talking about these things. I'm talking about something more personal, about you personally," Sainz tried to save the situation, "like your childhood experiences or something like that."

"Sainth," Hagrid finally became serious, "Thank you, I won't say anything. It will cause trouble for Dumbledore."
