Sybil interprets Callan's tea leaves poorly, but when the class is over, it's Callan who comforts the others.

"Don't worry, I won't turn into a house elf."

He said to Steve and Lovegood who looked worried, not taking Sybil's interpretation seriously at all.

"Even if I become a house elf, I will definitely be a free house elf. I will not admit any wizard is my master, let alone punish myself."

The worry on Steve's face became more serious: "It's over, Karan has started to get confused. There are no free house elves at all. Freedom itself is a punishment for them, and it is the most terrifying kind." .”

Little Lovegood also lamented and sighed: "And if a house elf opens a newspaper, will it be rejected? How come a good mascot suddenly turns into a house elf?"

Pandora rolled up a pile of parchment and hit the two of them twice on the head.

"Can't you say something nice?" she accused angrily.

Greta on the side also nodded: "That's right. Besides, house elves don't have so many bad things. I haven't learned all their craftsmanship yet. The snacks they make are still the most delicious."

Gaspard pushed up his glasses expressionlessly, and corrected him calmly: "Are you taking it for granted? Even in the oldest records, it is never said that house elves are wizards. Regarding Sibyl’s interpretation, I prefer the symbolic meaning of becoming a servant and a slave. Don’t you think this is a bit like the Imperius Curse?”

Karan did not participate in the discussion about beingware of the Imperius Curse, which was just the result of tea leaf divination, and Sybil did not fall into a dazed state - he was more worried about the upcoming Care of Magical Creatures class, and he didn't know What exactly is the teaching material that Hagrid has been preparing for a whole holiday?

After lunch, the Hufflepuff trio came outside the castle. Although they had not taken Care of Magical Creatures, they had all joined the Fire Crab Club. Although Professor Kettleburn at that time was Voldemort pretending to be, But Hagrid's performance at least didn't make people too worried.

The rain last night has stopped, the sky is a refreshing light gray, the grass underfoot is wet and elastic when stepped on.

Callan saw the Slytherin students also walking out of the castle - this class was shared by Hufflepuff and Slytherin. Snape walked behind the student team, still alone.

His former reputation as a traitor made him a thorn in the side of students from the same college, and he has not made many friends until now. Snape didn't care about it, and even resisted many times in provocations. Kallan knew that he was taking advantage of him. His potion talent caused many people to suffer.

"How was the divination class?" he asked as soon as he came up.

Steve told Sybil's interpretation results again, and Snape looked at Callan a few times after listening.

"House elf?" He suddenly laughed sarcastically: "If this method is feasible, I would rather believe that Karan will turn others into house elves. He can definitely do such a thing."

Snape also didn't believe Sybil's interpretation. It was too ridiculous. Let the spell caster deal with a large group of Acromantulas and Basilisks first.

Instead, Gaspard became interested in what Snape said - actively turning wizards into house elves?It sounded like transfiguration, and he remembered that Karan had always been very good at transfiguration.

So he ignored the weird looks from the people around him and kept discussing with Snape until they reached Hagrid's cabin. They didn't stop until Hagrid waved excitedly to them.

He was wearing that moleskin coat, and the little hunting dog Tooth was standing next to him. As soon as it saw Steve, it rushed up happily.

Steve bent down and picked up Fang. He asked curiously and worriedly: "Hagrid, where are we going? Is Fang going to the Forbidden Forest too? He is too small."

"I know, I know." In the face of Steve's continuous warnings, Hagrid waved his big palm-like hands irritably: "I have read all the letters you wrote to me during the vacation. I will not let students We entered the Forbidden Forest in the first class, which will make you miss a lot of fun."

Judging from the expressions on the students' faces, they were willing to miss out on the fun Hagrid was talking about.

"Come on, come on, hold on tight and follow me!"

Hagrid waved again and led them towards the edge of the woods, and finally came to the outside of a small paddock.There was nothing in the paddock.

"Everyone gather around this fence!" he shouted. "That's right - make sure you can see. You wait here now, I will be back in a moment."

As he spoke, he walked towards the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Slytherin's Evan Rozier stared at his back dumbfounded: "Are you kidding? He just threw us here like this? What if he breaks out again? What to do with a Chimera? I'd rather it was a werewolf teaching us a lesson right now—"

He deliberately shouted loudly to ensure that Hagrid, who was not far away, could hear him. Snape saw Hagrid's side face immediately turned red - he turned his head and stared at Rozier with an unkind look. Compared to his own He is a roommate who is always at odds with each other, and he prefers to side with Hagrid.

But before he could say anything to reprimand, a leaf stained with bird droppings suddenly hit Rozier's face, and he couldn't get away.

"What the hell -" As soon as Rozier opened his mouth, more leaves were stuffed into him, making him gag. Several roommates nearby quickly ran away in disgust.

"This is Hagrid's first class after all." Karan said with a slight voice in the chaos: "Don't have a fight in the first class. Hagrid will definitely blame himself."

In the end, Snape couldn't help but slightly raise the corners of his mouth, while Steve had already bent over with a smile.

"Where is this?"

At this moment, Saoirse, who was also a Slytherin, suddenly spoke. She pointed in another direction at the edge of the Forbidden Forest: "Are you scared now, Rozier? I didn't expect you to even be a first-year freshman. Worse than anything else.”

The students looked over curiously, and Karan was no exception - just in the direction Saoirse pointed, they saw two figures, one tall and one small, disappearing into the forbidden forest. The shorter figure was still supporting the taller one. That person.

"Cassandra Seer!"

Steve cried out in surprise: "And that new student, is it Sybil? What are they doing in the Forbidden Forest?"

"But this is not a violation of the rules." Gaspard's glasses flashed with light: "Sybil did not enter the Forbidden Forest alone, but was accompanied by a professor from the school, even though the professor was Sybil's grandmother. He is also blind."

Gaspard's analysis was strange enough, but Cassandra Prophet and Sibyl quickly disappeared deep into the Forbidden Forest, and they didn't know which direction they went.

"Oh oh oh oh oh oh--"

A Hufflepuff hero pointed at the paddock and screamed, attracting all the students' attention.

A huge snake slowly crawled towards them, its scales reflecting colors in the sunlight - Karan almost thought it was a basilisk. If it had three heads, it would be regarded as a rune snake, but This snake has only one head, and the difference is that there is a horn on it, plus a very dazzling gem, which is very precious at first sight.

"Stop! Stop!"

Hagrid tugged hard on the chain around the snake's neck and slapped its body hard twice. Only then did the snake stop at the fence, and the students immediately stepped back.

"Horned Water Snake!"

After locking the chain, Hagrid shouted excitedly: "And it's the rarest species! Did you see the gem on its head? This shows that it is the most famous and precious among the horned water snakes!" Equipped with the ability to grant invisibility and flight!”

Even though the gems are beautiful, they can't make the horned water snake instantly cute. Its eyes are very cold no matter how you look at it, and it spits out letters from time to time.And one can't help but wonder if that iron chain is useful?The long-horned water snake does not have an extra noticeable neck.

"Horned water snake?"

After hearing Hagrid's introduction, the Hufflepuff trio became interested. Karan remembered that the horned water snake was one of the four colleges of Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, and its founder, Isolt Thayer also became friends with a long-horned water snake, and received from it a prophecy that his aunt might attack him. He also used scraps scraped off its horn as a wand core and gave it to his adopted son Chadwick. Butt.

Gespard was very interested in the gem on the forehead of the horned water snake - it was a treasure that could grant invisibility and the ability to fly. Its beautiful appearance also attracted the attention of many girls. This was the only thing they could accept with horns. A place for water snakes.

Only Steve took a few steps forward and then stepped back.

"I almost forgot that the horned water snake is a magical animal of XXXXX level," he said worriedly: "That is the highest level of danger. Is this really okay?"

Of course there was a problem. After he said these words, even Gaspard took several steps back. He didn't want to be swept to pieces by the long-horned water snake's tail.

"Um..." Hagrid's face suddenly became more panicked: "No one is interested? It took me a lot of effort to find this long-horned water snake. How beautiful it is!"

The long-horned water snake is indeed beautiful. The scales on its body are almost as beautiful as the gems on its forehead, but it would be better if it didn't look like a snake.

"No one wants to give it a try?" Hagrid begged, "Even if it's just a touch."

Even though the water snake just stayed in place quietly, the students still took several steps back.

Only Karan did not retreat.

"I'll do it." He said proactively.

There were gasps of air behind him, and Snape frowned. He subconsciously grabbed Karan's arm: "Didn't you hear what Steve said? And your tea leaves are house elves. It’s not like it’s fatal or unknown.”

"I know!" At this time, Greta suddenly screamed with suppressed voice: "Do you still remember the rumor - Karan has dealt with the basilisk, so he is not afraid of the horned water snake!"

Under many shocked looks, Karan just smiled without explaining. He climbed over the fence of the paddock and walked to the opposite side of Hagrid.

"Thankfully, you are a brave little guy." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief. He bent down and whispered: "Otherwise, this lesson would have been ruined - is the basilisk thing true? What should I do? never heard of that."

"Never mind that, Hagrid."

After walking in and seeing the long-horned water snake clearly, Karan's expression became much more vigilant. Except for the largest basilisk in the secret room, Karan had never seen any other basilisk bigger than before him. .

"Where did you find this water snake? Is this really a problem? Also, have you read Steve's letter? How could he make such a suggestion?"

Facing Karan's questioning, Hagrid coughed twice in embarrassment: "Stop talking, I originally wanted to bring back the Loch Ness Monster. I thought you little guys would definitely be interested in the big guy, but it turned out that I didn't." Found, happened to find this long-horned water snake, so I brought it back. Many wizards will never see such a precious species in their lives. I just want to open your eyes - "

Callan stared at Hagrid with strange eyes - what on earth did he think that students were interested in the Loch Ness Monster?And what’s the matter if it’s not found——

Before he could ask a question, Hagrid patted him hard on the body, almost knocking him to the ground.

"Okay!" It seemed that the students' eyes looked strange again because of the long delay. Hagrid blushed and said loudly: "Now walk up to the horned water snake, look at it, and move slower. , it won’t hurt you.”

The students watched with bated breath as Karan carefully walked to the opposite side of the horned water snake. He raised his head and tried to look into the eyes of the huge head, which looked like two more gems-slender black gems.

Hagrid reminded from the side: "Don't change your eyes, don't look at its horns, and don't look at the gem on its forehead, lest it think you have evil intentions."

Karan focused his gaze, and he did it. The head of the horned water snake bowed slightly, and the letter it spat out was right in front of Karan's eyes. Several women couldn't help but scream, but Hagrid seemed very happy.

"Lesa is getting familiar with your scent."

This seemed to be the name of the long-horned water snake. Hagrid said cheerfully: "Now you can touch it."

Karan stretched out a palm, and it walked to Lessa, gently pressed his fingers on the smooth snake body, and touched the layers of scales - it was colder than he imagined, but it looked bright in the sun. Very cool.

"Very good!" Hagrid became even more excited: "Now you can ride it and let Lesa take you flying for a while. This is definitely a wonderful experience. I dare say that not many wizards have tried to ride a snake. "

Callan dared to say the same thing - maybe even Slytherin himself hadn't tried it, and the basilisk couldn't fly.

Hagrid untied the iron chain, leaving only an iron hoop on Lesa's body. This was the only place Karan could hold onto. He struggled to climb onto the cold scales, holding the hoop tightly with both hands.

"Let's go!" Hagrid patted Lessa's neck, and the long-horned water snake spat out a letter again. The gem on its forehead suddenly lit up, and then it slowly floated up, and its body gradually became transparent - even the stuck snake Lan was no exception. After a few seconds, the horned water snake and Karan were gone.

"Don't worry!" Hagrid seemed to think this was no problem at all. He turned to the students and said, "As I just said, this is an invisible long-horned water snake!"

There was indeed nothing wrong with Karan. This was the first time he enjoyed the same effect as the Disguise Spell - but it would have been better if he was not flying. There was no obstacle in front of him, and the horned water snake flew up. Silently, everything became transparent. He watched helplessly as he left the ground, and the paddock became smaller and smaller. If the cold touch under his body was not still there, he would even think that his floating spell was finally over. After practicing it, you can fly without any support.

Karan had ridden a broomstick before. He originally thought that the flying experience this time would be bad, but he didn't expect that Lesa was extra experienced. She didn't let him slide off, and she also made him sit very stable - which also made Karan Lan You leisurely observed the two figures moving slowly in the Forbidden Forest - they were Cassandra Seer and Sybil. They were still walking deeper into the Forbidden Forest, and were even close to the place where the unicorn was attacked. place.

"Over there! Look over there Feifei! Find those two people!"

Karan shouted loudly, and he slapped the scales of the horned water snake vigorously, hoping to attract its attention, but the horned water snake was indifferent and just flew around the paddock before landing slowly.

"It's a pity that I don't know Parseltongue - but... well, it's better that I don't know it."

Karan said regretfully. He and Lesa appeared at the same time, appeared in front of Hagrid and the students again, and then slid off the body of the horned water snake. The students all clapped and cheered vigorously.

"Well done, Callan!" Hagrid yelled, "Okay, who else wants to give it a try?"

Encouraged by Karan's success, the students carefully climbed over the fence, but more people were asking Karan about his experience. After all, they had never seen it with their own eyes.

"Not bad." Karan told his feelings truthfully: "The premise is that you can bear to fly very high and there is nothing underneath you."

In the end, there were still only a few students who took the initiative to come to Lessa. Hagrid sighed helplessly. He suddenly felt someone pat his thigh.

"If I had known better, I wouldn't have chosen Lesa as the first lesson." Hagrid sighed and said, "After all, there is only one Lesa, so it's hard to tell them apart."

Karan's arm froze, and he coughed twice to hide his embarrassment, and then asked curiously: "Do you know why Cassandra Prophet and Sybil went to the Forbidden Forest?"

"What?" Hagrid was surprised: "When did this happen?"

"Just now." Karan pointed around: "All of us saw it."

It seemed that Hagrid didn't know about this. He looked worriedly into the depths of the Forbidden Forest: "There shouldn't be any problem, right? Cassandra's prophet was found by Principal Dumbledore. The principal will definitely know this." thing."

Karan watched as the horned water snake flew up with Steve, and then disappeared together invisibly in front of everyone.

"What about the Loch Ness Monster?" He asked instead, "How come you didn't find it?"

After Steve slid off the horned water snake, he was still shouting uncontrollably: "Wow! Karan! This is so exciting! Even more exciting than the Winged Demon! No, I still have to Want to play again!"

"You come here first." Karan pulled him to the side, and also called Guspard and Snape. The three of them walked to a hidden corner. At the same time, Karan used wandless magic to teach him a lesson again. Look at Rozier - he looks like he wants to cause trouble like a future Draco Malfoy, and Callan certainly won't let him have that chance.

"This is much easier than preparing potions." Snape said while looking at Rozier, who was knocked to the ground by the leaves. Then he turned his head and looked at Karan with the same confusion as the other two: "What on earth is going on? The same thing?"

Karan said solemnly: "Hagrid tried to find the Loch Ness Monster, but he didn't find it - the Loch Ness Monster hasn't been in Loch Ness for a while."

"That's impossible!" Steve subconsciously retorted: "I was there when my dad found the Loch Ness Monster. It clearly said it had never left there!"

"It seems that there is a slight disagreement." Gaspard pushed up his glasses and said: "Although I can't praise Hagrid's lessons, his ability to find magical animals is still good. In this way, either Nice The lake monster’s memory has been modified——”

Snape continued with a gloomy face: "Either it really deceived Mr. Newt."

"The Loch Ness Monster did leave Loch Ness and was an accomplice in helping Abraxas Malfoy escape from prison."
