Chapter 234: New Care of Magical Creatures Professor

Chapter 674 New Professor of Care of Magical Creatures

Looking at Rita's article about the love triangle between Harry, Ron and Snape, Rove couldn't help but take a breath.

He didn't dare to openly slander Professor Snape, but Rita was so bold... I'm really not afraid that someone would drug me when I come to Hogwarts again one day!

I can only say that Rita is worthy of being the most outspoken reporter of the new award!

But then again, although the content is a bit fake, it involves celebrities, cheating, teacher-student love, etc., which makes people read it with relish and want to know the follow-up content.

This is the strength of Rita, who understands the readers' deep expectations very well.

In comparison, her other report during the Christmas holiday seems mediocre:

[Dumbledore's major mistake]

Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reported that the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the eccentric Albus Dumbledore, has always dared to hire controversial teachers.

In September this year, the violent Mad-Eye Moody was hired as the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts.

This decision surprised many people in the Ministry of Magic.

However, compared with Hagrid, the teacher hired by Dumbledore to teach the Care of Magical Creatures class, Mad-Eye is considered to be responsible, kind and friendly...]

In this article, Rita sorted out in detail the Defense Against the Dark Arts professors that Dumbledore had hired in the past few decades:

There are dark wizards, liars, smugglers, vampires, and squibs who pretend to be magic... Anyway, there is no good person.

Finally, she also revealed Hagrid's identity as a half-giant in the article, and hinted that he might be Dumbledore's illegitimate child, so that he could be taken care of by the headmaster for decades.

To be honest, except for the illegitimate child, the other content is quite objective.

For example, Hagrid illegally used the cross between the manticore and the fire crab to breed the dangerous blasting skrewt, and forced the students to take care of it.

Rolf sighed slightly. He had asked Hagrid to hand over the blasting skrewt more than once, and reminded him not to tell anyone about it... Well, now something has happened, right?

"How is Hagrid now?" Rolf asked.

"I don't know." Neville shook his head. "Since this report came out, Hagrid has never come to the hall to eat again. No one knows where he has gone."

"I don't know if he will come to class later."

"Probably not." Rolf said, "Hagrid should hide for a while."

Rolf guessed correctly. When they came to the cabin, they did not see Hagrid. Instead, they saw an elderly witch:

She was about sixty years old, thin and stern. She had a long face, a pointed chin and small ears. Her black hair was a little gray, but her eyes were as bright as agate.

The witch saw Rolf, walked towards him and asked, "Child, do you remember me?"

The students of Hufflepuff and Ravenclaw turned their heads to look at Rolf. Why are there people he knows everywhere?

Rolf stared at the witch, searched in his memory for a while, and then remembered:

"Oh, you are... Mrs. Wilmina Grubbly-Plank?"

A rare smile bloomed at the corner of Wilmina Grubbly-Plank's mouth.

"It's me, child. I'm really afraid that you don't remember me. The last time we met, you were only nine years old, like a little kid, not much bigger than an elf. Now you are much taller than me.

If I hadn't seen your photo in the newspaper every day, I wouldn't recognize you."

Rolf remembered completely that when he was nine years old, he visited the Hebrides Islands with Newt and lived in the McFastie family for more than half a year.

Speaking of the McFastie family, it is also an ancient pure-blood family that can communicate with fire dragons and tame them.

It is rumored that there is a magic horn in their family that can forcibly control fire dragons.

Therefore, McFasty is also called the Dragon King Family.

This title is not an exaggeration. They have lived in the Hebrides Islands of Scotland for generations and have been taking care of the black dragons on the island.

Even every child of the McFasty family will choose a newly hatched black dragon as a companion when they are young, and then raise it personally!

And the children of the Scamander family can only choose one of the magical animals of the three families - Nifflers, Salamanders and Bowtruckles - as a companion when they are ten years old.

In comparison, it is indeed much shabby!

The witch in front of you, named Wilmina Grubbly, is also a wizard of the McFasty family, but she later married and changed her surname to her husband's surname when she married Grubbly.

She is also a fire dragon expert and magical zoologist, and can be regarded as half a student of Newt.

"By the way, when I came to Hogwarts, Elenia asked me to say hello to you." Grubbly-Plan said:

"She said she wanted to meet you very much. She had a bet with you back then."

When Rolf heard the name Elenia, he curled his lips.

Elenia McFasty is the great-niece of Grubbly-Plan, and she is the same age as Rolf.

The year she chose the black dragon, Rolf was also there, and then the black dragon cub she chose was almost abducted by Rolf...the two of them even had a fight over it.

Elenia relied on her early development and was a head taller than Rolf, so she proposed a father-daughter game, where whoever loses calls the other dad.

Rolf already knew magic at that time, so he easily defeated Elenia and made her call him dad for two months...of course, when there was no one else around!

Unexpectedly, Elinia still remembered this and took the initiative to mention it. Could it be that she wanted to regain her position?

Speaking of which, when Rolf entered school, he was very curious as to why he didn't see Elinia at Hogwarts.

Later he learned that the McFasty family had always maintained the tradition of receiving magical education in their own home.

Luo Fe and Professor Grapeland chatted for a while, and as the class time arrived, Grapeland said:

"I am Professor Graplan, and I am the temporary substitute teacher for your Care of Magical Creatures class. I will be teaching the class for the next period of time."

"Where's Hagrid?" Justin asked, raising his hand.

"Hagrid is ill," said Graplan. "He needs some time to recuperate."

Everyone looked at each other in confusion at first, and then quickly became happy. After all, changing teachers meant that they no longer had to deal with Blast-Ended Skrewts.

Sure enough, Professor Grapeland did not take the students to the pumpkin patch, but walked around the stables and towards the Black Lake.

They walked through the snow with one foot deep and one foot shallow, and soon arrived at the Black Lake.

More than half of the Black Lake is frozen. Durmstrang's big ship on the lake is docked in the lake. It looks weird, like a ghost ship that has just been salvaged.

Professor Graplan stood on the shore and said loudly:

"In this lesson I'm going to teach you about merfolk."
