Became good friends with the Boy Who Lived

Chapter 122 Conversation with Viktor

In the Care of Magical Creatures class, under the strong request of the Ministry of Magic, the Department of Education, and with the patient persuasion of Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid finally gave up his plan to breed blasting-tailed skrewts.

Overall, after the second task of the Triwizard Tournament, Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class became quite interesting.

Hagrid brought many interesting but non-dangerous magical creatures into his classroom, such as Bowtruckle, Little Unicorn, Niffler...

In the Care of Magical Creatures class that day, Hagrid demonstrated his professionalism as a professor.

Aeris, Harry and other Gryffindor students, and Draco and other Slytherin students, met a magical creature called the Niffler in Hagrid's Care of Magical Creatures class.

When the students arrived at the hunting ground, Hagrid was moving some cardboard boxes over. Draco almost collapsed to the ground when he saw this, and it was Pansy who helped him up.

"No way? Professor Hagrid..." Draco said in a horrified voice, "The first few classes were normal. We have to take care of blast-end skrewt babies again?"

"What nonsense are you talking about, Malfoy?" Hagrid said unhappily. "I have promised Professor Dumbledore that I will not let any students come into contact with blast-end skrewts. Come here quickly. This class will open your eyes."

The classmates gathered around the cardboard box. Suddenly, a little creature covered in black jumped out of the cardboard box and went straight to the watch on Pansy's wrist.

Pansy screamed in fright and hid behind Draco. Draco grabbed the little guy who jumped out. The little guy was pitch black, had a long nose, and his forelimbs were like two sharp shovels.

"Oh my god, platypus?" Edwards muttered to himself. Hermione looked at him strangely. "Did you say anything?" Hermione asked. Edwards just shook his head.

"These cute little guys are: Nifflers," said Hagrid. "They can be seen frequently in the mines. They love shiny things..."

Hagrid described the Nifflers' living environment, living habits, and natural preferences in detail. "They are mobile treasure hunters," Hagrid said happily, "You can have fun with them for the rest of the class..."

Hagrid pointed to a large area of ​​renovated land not far away. "I buried some leprechaun coins," Hagrid said. "Take off the shiny things on you and each of you pick a Niffler. Before the end of get out of class, I will give a reward to the student whose Niffler finds the most gold coins."

The classmates began to choose their favorite Nifflers. The one Ron chose crawled all over him and even got into Ron's robe. Ron was so amused by the Niffler he chose that he couldn't stop laughing.

"Can you sell me one, Hagrid?" Ron said with a smile.

"No, Ron!" said Hagrid, smiling. "Let's not talk about whether I can sell it to you. Your mother will definitely not agree. This Niffler is enough to tear down your house."

The time for fun is always short. The students had a lot of fun playing the treasure hunt game with the sniffs they chose. The final winner is: Ron.

Hagrid handed Ron a large bar of Honeydukes' finest chocolate as a reward.

After class, the students all walked towards the castle. Aeris, Harry, Hermione, Ron, and Draco stayed behind to help Hagrid put away the cardboard boxes containing the Nifflers.

Aeris noticed that Madame Maxime was beside her carriage, looking at the hunting grounds from afar.

"Hagrid," said Aeris, "how are you and your Olympe getting along?"

"Don't tell me about her anymore," Hagrid said sullenly. The expression on his face that was not covered by beard and hair was a little scary for a moment. "She approached me just because I might get some information about the Triwizard Tournament in advance. I was so stupid. She...they are not trustworthy at all..."

During the afternoon break, Aries accompanied Hermione to the library to look up some information. As they were looking up information, they were discussing in a low voice. Suddenly, a voice rang out:

"Can I sit down?" It was Viktor, who said dully, "Isn't this seat empty?"

Hermione was about to refuse, but Aeris said, "Of course, Victor, please sit down."

Viktor sat across from Aeris and Hermione.

"I want to talk to this lady alone," Victor said to Aeris, "I wonder if you can step aside for a moment..."

"Isn't that necessary? Mr. Krum," Hermione said irritably, "Is there anything you can't say in front of my boyfriend?"

Aeris looked at Hermione strangely, but Hermione didn't care. Her eyes were always on the book in her hand, and she never looked at Viktor from beginning to end.

"So, you two were originally a couple?" Viktor asked.

Just as Aries was about to speak, Hermione's fingers pinched the soft flesh on Aries' waist. Aries had no choice but to grit his teeth, close his eyes, and nodded silently.

Victor smiled bitterly, stood up and said, "Sorry to bother you, I just... have never had this feeling towards any opposite sex..." Victor walked away listlessly.

"So," Aeris said with a half-smile, "are you confessing your love to me?"

Hermione's cheeks flushed, but she still rolled her eyes. "I just don't have any feelings for Mr. Krum," Hermione said as a matter of course. "As my friend, you can block it for me, right?"

"Of course no problem." Aris said with a smile, staring at Hermione with a meaningful look, making the girl's cheeks even redder.
