263. Demon scale insect



Sure enough, Filch's final destination was Hagrid's hut. Although Hagrid is now a teacher, he still works part-time at his previous job, so the place where he lives has not changed, it just has an additional office.

He slowly approached the hut and soon heard Hagrid's loud voice.

"This is impossible, Filch, I won't give it to you." Hagrid's voice was urgent.

Filch's voice was so soft that Magos could only vaguely hear a few words, followed by Hagrid's loud rejection. After talking back and forth several times, Filch also loudly stated that he would not give up. of.

Magos hurriedly hid, and soon saw Filch angrily opening the door of the cabin and leaving.He walked out of the hiding place and looked at Filch's back. He felt an indescribable feeling. It was fine if he didn't know the existence of magic. But he knew that his parents were also wizards, but he couldn't use magic. , this was really a big blow to him.

"Magos, why are you here?" Hagrid was about to close the door at this time, and saw Magos asking loudly.

"Well, I came here to see Filch. To be honest, the prickly man he just held is mine."

"Oh my god, how could you give him the thorn? Do you know what he used it for?" Hagrid shouted in surprise.

"Of course I know, but then again, how did Filch know about this? Hagrid, do you know?"

After hearing this, Hagrid's expression froze and he looked left and right.

"Of course, of course, I don't know," he stammered.

Magos didn't point it out, but just told him what Dumbledore said yesterday.

"So Professor Dumbledore has agreed."

"Probably so, otherwise he wouldn't have agreed to my giving him the assassin."

"Then I should have given him the tea just now." Hagrid shook his head with some contradiction.

"I'm also going to ask Professor Dumbledore. He should come over and tell me first." He muttered.

Magos shrugged, who could guess what Dumbledore was thinking.

"By the way, Hagrid, there is another Care of Magical Creatures class tomorrow. What are you going to do?"

Hagrid's eyes lit up after hearing this, and he immediately put Filch's matter behind him and pulled Magos into the hut.

"I didn't tell anyone." As he said that, he asked Magos to look at the big bucket placed in the hut.

Magos walked over and took a look. Several strange-looking fish were fighting with each other.

"what is this"

"Demon Scale Insect."

"Bug" Magos stared at the creature in the barrel with wide eyes.

"This is an insect, not a fish"

"Of course, but they are bigger now. When I first caught them, they were only about the size of a thumb." Hagrid said with a proud expression on his face.

Magos twitched his lips,

"What you are doing is probably not allowed by the Ministry of Magic."

"Shhh" Hagrid looked around guiltily.

"They are usually very quiet. They were disturbed by Filch just now and started playing games."

"Are you sure they are playing a game?" Magos asked, looking at the insects that had bitten each other.

"Well, maybe they're a little unhappy about being woken up."

"Hagrid, I suggest you don't use them in class." Magos looked at Hagrid sincerely.

"Why?" Hagrid asked very puzzled.

"It took me a long time and thought to succeed. Although they are a bit ugly and fierce, they are still very interesting, you see." As he said this, he put his hand into the bucket and saw a few of them. The demon scale insects instantly stopped fighting among themselves and bit Hagrid's hand one after another, but they were unable to bite for the time being.

"Look, they can't hurt me." Hagrid proudly picked up one and handed it to him.

Magos couldn't help but take a step back and looked at the ugly and ferocious Demon Scale Insect.He really couldn't understand Hagrid's brain circuit.

"Listen to me, Hagrid, if you still want to continue to be a teacher, it's best not to let others see them. You don't have to teach us this strange thing. We have just taken this class, so whatever is interesting Any magical creature will do."

Hagrid was a little disappointed by what Magos said, and he threw the magic scale insect back into the bucket.

"But I want to give you something different. You can read it for yourself in the book."

"But Hagrid, if we just look at it ourselves, we can't understand the habits and dangers of this creature so well."

Hagrid felt that what Magos said made sense, but he was a little uninterested when he saw the scale insects in the barrel starting to fight among themselves again.

"You go back first, I'll think about it later." Hagrid waved his hand.

Seeing that the persuasion had some effect, Magos said a few words again and left. He hadn't eaten lunch yet.

Not long after Magos left, Dumbledore suddenly walked out of an empty corner.

Looking at Hagrid who was completely unaware, he had to cough slightly.

Hagrid suddenly turned around and almost broke several wooden poles above his head.

"Professor Dumbledore. When did you come?"

"When Filch comes." Dumbledore said with a smile.

"You heard it all," Hagrid said somewhat sarcastically.

"Mr. Will is right, Hagrid. I hope you can always be the professor of Magical Creatures."

"I will." Hagrid said quickly.

"Of course, I believe you, but you should also let those children slowly accept your discovery." As he said this, he lowered his head and looked at the magic scale insect.

"For example, I think those children will be scared if they see it, and some wizards may make some small moves behind it."

Seeing that Dumbledore also agreed with Magos's point of view, Hagrid reluctantly agreed.

"Very good." Dumbledore seemed relieved. Although he could ignore the board of directors, if the creatures created by Hagrid snatched the children, the matter would not be as simple as a complaint letter.

"Let's talk about Filch next."

"It's not me, I don't have it, and I don't know." Hagrid denied it three times without saying anything.

Dumbledore smiled.

"This is no longer important. What we should think about now is how to dissuade or help Filch. I don't think he will give up until he tries."

"You can tell him directly and he will listen to you." Hagrid suggested.

Dumbledore shook his head,

"This may be a way, but it's not the best. I would rather he succeed, but unfortunately I know this is impossible."

"What to do then"

"Give him some tea leaves first. Maybe he will give up after trying it once."

Hagrid nodded, reached out and took out a handful.

"I'll give it to him when he comes next time."

Dumbledore nodded, then said he would go to Snape again and then disappeared.
