"Oh, that's what you're talking about." Hagrid said nonchalantly, "Don't worry, I'll remind them when the time comes. As long as they remain polite, the Hippogriff is not dangerous at all."
"Then can you guarantee that they will all listen to you?" Kyle asked back: "Harry and the others will definitely be fine, but what about those in Slytherin?"
Hagrid moved his lips and whispered, "But I'm a professor... they can't just disobey me..."
"you sure?"
This time, Hagrid's voice was even quieter, and Kyle couldn't even hear what he said.
But Kyle didn't care and continued, "In fact, the content of our first Care of Magical Creatures class last year was Bowtruckle, but some students still got their fingers stabbed.
Even Bowtruckles are like this, not to mention ferocious beasts like Hippogriffs. Moreover, they have bad tempers. Once someone behaves rudely, they will be angered, which is very dangerous.
You can’t guarantee that every one of them will obey you, and you can’t keep an eye on everyone. It’s unrealistic.”
The more Kyle talked, the quieter Hagrid became.
He had thought of everything before, except what would happen if the students didn't obey.
"You can choose others." Kyle counted them one by one. "Bowtruckle, Fairy, Niffler, Billywig, Kneazle...these are much better than Hippogriff."
"But..." Hagrid muttered, "This is my first class. I want to impress them. There's nothing better than a Hippogriff... They're so beautiful. Much prettier than the Nifflers."
“For most students, they probably don’t think that way. As a professor, you have to learn to think from the students’ perspective.
"As for being impressive..."
Kyle raised an eyebrow, “If you can get a unicorn cub, I guarantee that your first class will be a blast.
It just so happens that young unicorns will not reject boys. If you can let them touch or hug the golden little one, then before the get out of class is over, you will be the most popular professor in Hogwarts, and even Headmaster Dumbledore will have to line up behind you. "
"D-Professor Dumbledore..."
Hagrid suddenly became a lot more nervous, and said at a loss: "This, this is impossible, you are kidding again."
Then he thought for a moment and said, "If it is a unicorn cub, there is indeed one in the Forbidden Forest, and it just turned one month old today, but Katita will not agree to let me bring it here."
Katita was probably the name of a unicorn... Hagrid was always keen on naming every magical animal in the Forbidden Forest. I don't know how he remembered them all.
"It's because it's difficult that it makes a lasting impression."
Kyle glanced at the time and said, "There is less than half an hour left before class starts. If you have any ideas, you'd better act quickly.
After hesitating for a moment, Hagrid turned and walked towards the Forbidden Forest.
Later, Kyle also found a group of chained hippogriffs in the forbidden forest behind the paddock.
Just as Hagrid had said, these creatures were indeed beautiful, with their shiny, shimmering feathers in different colors, stormy gray, crystal reddish brown, and inky black...
They shook their ferocious heads and stretched out their powerful wings, seeming very reluctant to be tied up like this.
Kyle walked over and untied their chains and leather collars one by one.
"Fly..." he said softly.
The grey Hippogriff stepped forward and bent his front knees in a gesture of unmistakable bow.
Then it spread its twelve-foot-long wings and flew away into the depths of the Forbidden Forest along with the other hippogriffs.
Soon, there were only chains and collars all around. Kyle was not worried at all whether Hagrid would return empty-handed or have no time to look for other magical creatures.
There are several mountain pear trees nearby. You can easily find more than a dozen bowtruckles on them, enough for a class.
Only then did Kyle turn around and go back to the castle.

Chapter 365 Give Us a Reason Not to Kill You
In the afternoon we have an ancient runes class.
This year, Professor Babel still failed to convince Dumbledore to agree to let her combine classes for several grades together.
This made Professor Barbling very unhappy, and she then passed this emotion on to her students.
"What are the effects of different arrangements of magic runes on the completion of the symbol?"
Qiu looked at what they were going to learn today and felt his head starting to get bigger and bigger.
"But Professor..." She raised her hand and said, "Isn't this the last thing we're going to learn? Today is only the first day of school!"
"Look, you performed very well last school year..." Professor Babel blinked her grey eyes and smiled, "So I decided to ignore those unimportant processes and spend more time teaching you something real."
"Everyone, look here. There are many components of the symbol. Let's start with the most complicated one..."
Qiu’s head is getting bigger again.
When Professor Babel drew the symbol, she could no longer understand it. She could only listen hard and hurriedly write down all the content.
Kanna next to her was in a similar situation. Her hands never stopped and her feather pen was almost rubbing sparks on the parchment.
When the get out of class was over, Kanna and Qiu breathed a sigh of relief as if they had survived a disaster, and rubbed their wrists at the same time.
After taking notes for a whole class, they felt their hands were numb and painful and they were almost losing feeling.
At this time, Kanna accidentally saw the parchment on Kyle's desk. It was clean and there was not a single word on it.
"Kyle, do you understand all this?" she asked.
Hearing this, Qiu Ye turned around and looked at Kyle. His expression was as if he was looking at a monster with eight arms and five heads...
Anyway, it’s not a human being.
"Did you understand everything? No." Kyle shook his head. "This part of the content needs to be accumulated bit by bit. Professor Babel said a lot and it was so complicated. How can you learn it in one class?"
"Why don't you take notes?"
Kanna asked doubtfully, "Didn't you hear clearly? Do you want to copy me?"
She pushed her thick stack of parchment to Kyle. "But I didn't hear a lot of the content clearly, so it may not be complete."
"Me, too."
Qiu also brought over her pile of parchment. "When you copy, you can compare them with each other. If there are any differences, we can mark them for you..."
Qiu now just felt his head swollen and dizzy, and he didn't want to look at these contents anymore for a while.
"No, I don't plan on taking notes."
Kyle looked at them and said, "And I never thought of it that way from the beginning, otherwise I would have written it all down with a shorthand quill."
"Oh... a quick-writing quill..."
Qiu grabbed his hair and whimpered in pain, "Damn it, how could I forget this!"
But Kanna suddenly realized something and frowned, "You... don't take notes?"
"Yes."
Kyle shrugged and pulled out a thick book and placed it on the table.
The Evolution of Magic Runes
"Last school year, someone recommended this to me, so I borrowed it from the library for a year."
Kyle turned the book to a page, pointed at the content and said, "Look for yourself, is this exactly the same as what Professor Babel said?"
“And these places too…” Kyle flipped a few more pages.
Two heads came over at the same time...
After a moment of silence, the atmosphere suddenly became a little weird.
Kanna and Qiu appeared on Kyle's left and right, and the air pressure around them was terribly low.
"You have one minute to explain." Kanna bared her teeth and stared at Kyle fiercely.
Qiu's hands also clenched into fists, "Give us a reason not to kill you."
"No... this is none of my business. I have warned you."
Kyle looked at Kanna and said, "I've told you at least three times that all this is in the book, so you don't have to remember it. But you didn't listen. Every time I told me to shut up and stop affecting you."
"And you're even worse." He looked at Qiu on the other side again, "I saw that you didn't react, so I pushed your arm, but you actually tried to kick me... Fortunately, I dodged quickly."
Kyle lifted the hem of his robe, and half a shoe print could be seen there.
Qiu's face turned red and he stammered, unable to speak.
Now that she had said that, she did remember this, but Professor Babel was talking about the key point at the time, and she didn't pay any attention to what Kyle said, and reacted subconsciously.
There was another moment of silence...
Qiu and Kanna silently picked up their notes, then turned around and rushed out of the classroom at a rapid pace.
……
By the time of dinner, they had borrowed the book from the library and started reading it at the dining table.
For books on professional knowledge like this, the library has many copies of each type, and generally you rarely have to queue.
Seeing that they were so absorbed in watching, Kyle did not disturb them and walked over to sit next to Cedric.
The Great Hall was particularly busy tonight, especially the Gryffindor and Slytherin tables.
Even from a distance, Kyle could hear Ron's loud voice...
He was showing off something to Fred with a beaming look on his face.
"The first time I saw a little unicorn, you would never have guessed it was golden!"
"Hagrid is amazing..." Hermione also said, "I've read in a book that young unicorns are rare. They are usually in the deepest part of the forest and are well protected."
“I even held it…”
Ron narrowed his eyes, his expression looking a little obscene, "I don't want to wash my hands again this school year."
Fred and George stepped back in disgust.
"Have you noticed Malfoy?"
Harry also acted very excited, "He's been looking for trouble with Hagrid since we got to the paddock, but after he saw the little unicorn, he shut up."
"I wouldn't say Hagrid lets a fellow like him touch a unicorn..."
"Ron, Hagrid is a professor now!" Hermione said unhappily, "He must treat every student fairly."
