"Okay, but you are right about one thing. I do know those good kids in the Forbidden Forest very well."
Hagrid glanced at the three of them, then put down the kettle in his hand and said, "Come with me, I'll take you to see those moon beasts.
But you must promise to follow me closely and not run around, otherwise I will send you out immediately and never let you go to the Forbidden Forest again!"
"We promise, Professor Hagrid!" the three said in unison.
The word "Professor" made Hagrid blush again.
But he soon thought of something, and his mood suddenly became a little depressed. He said, "I can't be a professor. Don't say that in the future. It's not good for others to hear it."
“You have to have some faith in yourself.”
Kyle stepped forward and patted the back of his hand, and said seriously: "Up to four years, you will definitely become a professor."
"Impossible." Hagrid shook his head and said, "You don't have to comfort me."
How could he become a professor if he couldn't even use a wand in front of others?
"How about we make a bet."
Kyle held up four fingers and said, "If you don't become a professor in four years, I will find a way to get Newt to agree to leave his dragon with you for two months during the summer vacation at Hogwarts."
Hagrid stopped abruptly, turned his head in disbelief and asked, "Mr. Scamander has a dragon?"
"Yes." Kyle nodded. "Because it has a very bad temper, it will indiscriminately attack all creatures it sees after leaving Newt, so it was returned to the Romanian Fire Dragon Reserve three times. The third time, they clearly refused to accept it.
In addition, its character is not suitable for being released into the wild, so it can only be kept in a box. "
"I agree." Hagrid nodded immediately.

Chapter 57 What to do if the dog has a poor appetite
Who in the wizarding world would refuse to raise a dragon? Hagrid certainly wouldn't. As for his bad temper... so what? It's normal for children to be a little naughty.
Being rejected by the Romanian Fire Dragon Conservation Area only shows that those people are incompetent. Look at how skinny they are, as thin as firewood sticks. How can they raise a good dragon?
"Well, if you become a professor..."
"No problem!" Before Kyle could finish his words, Hagrid waved his hand and said, "I agree to bet with you."
He didn't even consider whether Kyle could really convince Newt, and whether Dumbledore would agree to let a dragon enter Hogwarts, he just agreed.
As if he was afraid that Kyle would go back on his word, he quickened his pace and led the three of them, who were jogging all the way, to the vicinity of the Moon Madness's cave.
"You guys stay here and don't go any further."
Hagrid turned around and said to the three people seriously, "The dance of the moon beasts consumes a lot of energy, so they must ensure adequate sleep during the day, so you must make as little noise as possible."
Connor and Cedric nodded silently at first, then looked at the tent-like caves with curiosity.
Kyle wasn't with them?
It's just a moon-crazy beast. He had seen it countless times at Newt's place.
His attention is now entirely on the guardian trees around him.
Compared with other places, the guardian trees here are very tall, thick and long.
Kyle walked up and knocked on the tree trunk. It was hard.
Seeing Kyle's actions, Hagrid explained in a low voice: "Because the moon beasts will step their feces into the ground, the guardian trees usually grow very well where they are.
By the way, this is also the nest of Bowtruckles."
Kyle looked up and soon saw countless "little green seedlings" on the guardian trees.
This is consistent with what Newt saw. In that magical box, Bowtruckle and Moonbeast are neighbors.
Kyle picked up a branch from the ground and asked, "Hagrid, can I gather some branches?"
"Of course you can, but what do you want these things for?"
“Just some thoughts.”
……
When they came out of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid had a large bundle of dead branches in his hand.
Originally Kyle wanted to use a levitation spell to take them away, but Hagrid thought that was too troublesome, so he took the initiative to help carry them out.
After coming out of the Forbidden Forest, Cedric went back to the castle first because he had to attend class.
Kyle and Connor stayed behind.
Unlike last time, Hagrid warmly invited them to visit the cabin.
As soon as they entered the room, a big black dog rushed over with its tongue wagging, and its tail was shaking like a fan.
Kyle hugged its dog's head and patted it, so as not to rub its eyes out.
You know what, it feels really good.
"Okay, Yaya, come here."
At this time, Hagrid put a basin of gray and sticky stuff on the ground. Fang immediately rushed over excitedly and dived into the basin.
Hagrid patted its head and said, "Eat slowly. If you don't have enough, there's more."
Taking advantage of this time, Kyle looked around.
There was only one room inside, with hams and pheasants hanging from the ceiling, water boiling in a copper kettle in the brazier, and a large bed in the corner with a quilt made of rags.
It looks very inconspicuous, even a little shabby.
However, Kyle noticed that the raw material of the ham was Tebo warthog, and the "rope" used to hang it was white and shiny, and looked like it was made of some kind of silk.
Initial speculation is that it should be the spider silk of the giant eight-eyed spider.
There was also a cushion for two people to sit on - it was made of unicorn hair. Although it wasn't all tail hair, it was luxurious enough.
Anyway, it was the first time for him to sit on such an expensive cushion.
After Hagrid sat down, Kyle took the initiative to introduce him: "This is Connor, and the one who just left is Cedric. They are both Hufflepuffs like me, but Cedric is in the second year."
"Hello."
Hagrid greeted Connor happily and took a piece of rock cake from the plate next to him and handed it to her and Kyle. "You must be hungry, how about trying my cooking?"
When Kanna took the rock cake, she felt her hand suddenly feel heavy, as if she was holding a brick.
The corner of her eye twitched slightly, but she wisely didn't put it in her mouth.
Kyle didn't eat it either, but he asked Hagrid for another piece, saying that he would eat it with Cedric when he got back.
Hagrid was very happy after hearing this, and generously gave the whole plate of rock cakes to Kyle, and told him that he could come for more at any time if he didn't have enough.
But Kyle didn't want any and just took two pieces and put them in his pocket.
You definitely won’t eat it. Even if the rock cake tastes good, you can’t enjoy it without teeth as big as a giant.
But it's good to keep it for self-defense.
He was almost suffering from a nervous breakdown due to the torture he had suffered from Snape recently. If one day he couldn't bear it anymore, using this thing to hit him on the back of the head would be a good choice.
No, it should be said that he was inviting Professor Snape to eat, but he just didn't accept it.
Taking the plate from Kyle, Hagrid looked at him and said awkwardly, "Well, I have a dog, but it has been listless and has a poor appetite lately. What's going on?"
Kyle subconsciously glanced at Yaya who was eating frantically.
Feeling listless? Losing appetite?
If he remembered correctly, this was the second pot.
"It's not Fang." Seeing Kyle's puzzled look, Hagrid quickly explained, "It's another dog."
"Oh……"
After he said that, Kyle understood. It turned out that Hagrid was talking about the three-headed dog.
He looked around again, but found no trace of Lu Wei.
"Didn't I tell you before?" Kyle turned around and said, "Just put it in the Forbidden Forest."
"I released it, but it didn't work." Hagrid's voice sounded aggrieved. "It was indeed much better when it was in the Forbidden Forest, but as soon as it returned to the room, it became listless again."
……
Kyle was speechless.
Hagrid's comprehension ability is really amazing. Did he think he was just walking the dog? He even brought it back!
"Hagrid, the three-headed dog..."
"Just a head, just a head!"
Kyle took a deep breath, ignored Hagrid who was denying frantically, and continued: "The three-headed dog is a large magical animal. They naturally like open and vast places.
If they stay in a low and closed environment for a long time, they will be very depressed. "
"I'm not short here," Hagrid muttered.
"That's just for you." Kyle explained patiently, "It will only take a year for the three-headed dog to grow to three meters tall and more than five meters long. By then, it will have trouble even turning around here."

Chapter 58 Ugly Dog
When Kyle and Hagrid were talking, Kanna next to them had a confused expression on her face the whole time.
Who am I, what am I doing here, and what are they talking about?
Isn’t it that the dog has a poor appetite? Why are you suddenly mentioning the three-headed dog?
Also, what is a three-headed dog? A dog with three heads? But there is no such thing in this room.
"Kyle..." While Hagrid was thinking with his head down, Kanna asked her doubts, "What were you talking about just now?"
However, Kyle did not answer her question directly. Instead, he looked at Hagrid and said with a pursed mouth, "Take it out. Don't hide it. I'm not a professional veterinarian. I have to see the specific situation with my own eyes."
"I didn't..." Hagrid wanted to struggle, but thinking of his own Maomao's recent condition, he sighed and said, "Okay, then you can't tell anyone else."
