Hogwarts: I'm really not the third Dark Lord

Chapter 176 Chimera Beast

The footsteps were getting closer and closer, followed by the sound of grass moving.

"Hey man, look what I found?"

One of them suddenly shouted excitedly and stopped not far in front of Hermione.

Hermione's heart suddenly lifted.

"A footprint, less than ten inches, it should be a student——"

"This should be off-limits."

"Who knows, those naughty guys never take the rules seriously - if I catch her, I will spank her hard!"

After a few people stopped there to discuss for a while, they began to search forward again.

But the short period of time they lost was enough for Hermione.

The Time-Turner whirled wildly in her pocket, the chaotic magic lifting her disembodiment spell and attracting the attention of nearly everyone present.

"what is that?"

"Catch her, don't be stunned!"

Several beams of light were shot in the direction of Hermione, but at this time, Hermione had turned into a faint shadow, and the next moment, she disappeared in front of everyone.

……

After realizing that she was back in Hogwarts, Hermione suddenly fell to the ground and felt her legs shaking violently.

She was just a hair away from being hit by those spells.

Although I don't know the specific effect of the spell, I can see that there are blue or green colors, and I know that something bad will happen.

Then, she heard the boy's cry of pain in her ears. When she looked up, she found that due to her sudden fall to the ground, the time turner's chain had tied several knots around the boy's neck and was still being tightened. tight.

"Are you going to kill me?"

Jerry yelled as soon as he escaped the risk of being strangled.

"Sorry, sorry..." Hermione, who knew she was in the wrong, could only keep apologizing.

Jerry touched his neck and found that there were no traces of strangulation before he breathed a sigh of relief: "What happened just now? Are you feeling unwell?"

He glanced at Hermione's school bag. There was a crack in it, and through the crack he could see at least a dozen large books stuffed inside.

It seems that long-term use of the time turner has had a considerable impact on the girl's spirit.

Jerry didn't have much of a problem.

Divination classes and Arithmancy were leisure activities for him, and as for Muggle Studies...

He felt that he could speak better than the young female professor on the podium.

Care of Magical Creatures class is no different from physical education class.

In other words, ancient magic texts need to consume some brain cells.

You know, Jerry even went through the devilish senior year of high school with twelve classes a day, and the loose curriculum at Hogwarts had no impact on him at all - even with the use of a time turner.

He casually repaired Hermione's schoolbag with his wand: "I said, why are you bringing so many books? Can't you just bring what you need for today?"

"Thank you... In addition to going to class, I also have to go to the library to complete my homework... These books are all necessary."

Jerry shrugged: "Then I suggest you buy a schoolbag with a traceless expansion spell on it. It's only a few dozen Galleons. It's very cheap."

Hermione rolled her eyes: "The total amount of galleons I can redeem each year is only fifty."

She checked her schoolbag again to make sure nothing fell out, and then signed Jerry's hand again: "Okay, let's go."

Just when she was about to turn the dial, Jerry suddenly stopped her: "Wait a minute."

The next moment, they saw Hagrid sneaking out from the corner.

Seeing that there were other people here, Hagrid was obviously frightened and subconsciously put his hands behind his back.

"Good afternoon, Hagrid..." Jerry narrowed his eyes and greeted softly.

"Good afternoon...it's you two." Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief when he saw it was Jerry and Hermione.

"What are you doing here? There should be classes in the afternoon -"

His eyes fell on the hands held by Jerry and Hermione, and a look of realization suddenly appeared on his face.

"Sorry, sorry, I shouldn't have disturbed you." He said with a smirk.

The next moment, his smile froze, because Hermione suddenly hugged him gently.

"Hagrid, it's great that you're still alive..."

"Well, I've always been healthy..." Hagrid said awkwardly.

During these days, I showed up at the faculty desk on time every day. Why did the girl sound like she was dying?

He turned his attention to Jerry for help, but Jerry was at a loss at this time, let alone giving him any help.

Having just witnessed Hagrid die in front of her, and then being chased by a large group of people, the girl's nervousness had reached its limit.

This caused her to suddenly lose control of her emotions when she saw Hagrid appeared intact.

Seeing tears streaming down the girl's face, Hagrid subconsciously reached out to comfort her even though he didn't know what happened.

The next moment, a dark thing fell to the ground from behind Hagrid.

Hagrid's expression tightened, and he no longer bothered to comfort Hermione. He turned around and carefully took the black object into his hands. He checked it over and over for a long time and breathed a sigh of relief when he found that it was not broken.

Oops!

Just after relaxing for a while, Hagrid suddenly remembered that this was not his hut, and there were others watching him.

Cautiously, he turned his head and found Hermione and Jerry staring at him.

The half-smiling expressions on their faces were exactly the same.

"I'm suddenly hungry. See you in the restaurant later."

Hagrid waved his hand guiltily and wanted to leave.

Then, he was stopped by a demonic voice.

"Wait a minute, Hagrid—"

"..."

Instead of stopping, Hagrid quickened his pace.

"You don't want Dumbledore to find out about raising a dragon without a license, right?"

Hagrid could no longer take any further steps. He sighed and said, "Really... I still can't hide it!"

"Isn't it strange that you can hide it!?" Jerry couldn't help complaining, "Which private dragon breeder would run around holding a dragon egg like you?"

"I thought I hid it well." Hagrid's eyes widened.

Jerry glanced at the round thing wrapped in a torn blanket.

Only Hagrid would think that this level of disguise could hide it from others, right?

He was left speechless.

Hagrid looked away with some guilt and muttered: "I don't want to hide it from you, I just want to wait for it to hatch before I show it to you -"

"You guys?!" Hermione's voice rose in shock, "You don't want to put it in the Care of Magical Creatures class, do you? This is illegal!"

In the previous lessons on the Protection of Magical Creatures, Hagrid had always been able to find some interesting but dangerous magical creatures for them.

His classes have received mixed reviews as a result.

Most girls are not interested in those snarling monsters, but boys, on the contrary, seem to regard them as an opportunity to show their courage.

However, the most dangerous thing Hagrid brought before was only the Tebo warthog with a danger level of XXXX.

Because of Professor Lupin's unanimous praise among the students, Hagrid also had some thoughts of confrontation.

So in the last class, he brought over a Tebo warthog.

Legend has it that Rowena Ravenclaw once dreamed of one, which led her to a cliff by a lake.So Rowena made this place the location of Hogwarts.

Moreover, the Tebbo warthog has the ability to become invisible, which makes it difficult to avoid or catch it.

In Hagrid's opinion, both the moral and the classroom effect can be said to be full of success.

But in fact, what really matters is the effect of the program——

The Tebo warthog caught by Hagrid may have been captured not long after giving birth, and it had a particularly bad temper.

Especially being watched by a group of little wizards in class made him even more angry, and he performed a "rampage" on the spot!

If Hagrid hadn't caught its tail in time, the bloodshed that didn't happen in the first class might have ended in the world line.

Afterwards, he performed a wonderful wrestling show with the Tebbo warthog in front of all the students, and knocked it out with one punch just before get out of class was about to end.

The students who watched the entire class gave him warm applause.

Jerry originally thought that after experiencing this teaching accident, Hagrid would learn a lesson and stop bringing too dangerous animals to the classroom.

But Hagrid obviously didn't think so.

Stunning a Tebo warthog without fangs and claws did not satisfy him. He actually focused on the fire dragon with a danger level of XXXXX!

Putting aside the danger of fire dragons, the mere fact that he did not get permission from the Ministry of Magic to raise dragons was enough for Fudge to send him to Azkaban.

Not to mention that the dragon egg he obtained obviously did not go through legal channels.

As if he knew what Jerry and Hermione were thinking, Hagrid waved his hands hurriedly: "I didn't want to bring it to class - it's too early for you..."

No, no, it’s too early for every student and even some professors.

Hagrid looked around warily, and then lowered his voice after finding no one around: "Someone entrusted me with a big project, and I thought maybe I could try it-"

"Hagrid, I don't think you are short of money, right?" Jerry looked at him suspiciously.

You know, Hagrid’s hut is no different from a treasure house in the eyes of the Potions professor or the Herbology professor. There you can find bundles of unicorn hair, blood or fur of various precious creatures...

Just selling a little would be enough for him to spend a long time, not to mention that Hagrid is not a pleasure-seeking person.

Rather than accepting someone else's commission, Jerry felt that this was just the reason Hagrid found for himself to raise a dragon.

"It's not money..." Hagrid said, "They said they could get me a Chimera beast after completing the commission..."

"Oh my God!" Hermione exclaimed, "You must be crazy..."

Jerry was convinced of this.

Also as a XXXXX level magical creature, the Chimera is much rarer and more dangerous than the Fire Dragon.

Some level 5X magical creatures are because their danger level is only 5X, while others are because the highest level of danger is only 5X.

Chimeramon is undoubtedly the latter.

This is a giant beast from Greece, with the head of a lion, the body of a sheep and the tail of a fire dragon.

Chimera beasts are evil in nature, bloodthirsty, and have incredible offensive and defensive capabilities.

From ancient times to the present, many wizards have accomplished the feat of slaying a dragon alone, but there is only one record of a single person killing a Chimera.

The wizard then fell from the pegasus to his death due to exhaustion.

To deal with a Chimera, at least twenty Auror-level wizards would be required to slowly kill it by flying kites in a vast open space.

If it is in a place with complex terrain such as a jungle, this number must be doubled, and half of them must be prepared for casualties. This shows how difficult the Chimera beast is.

After paying a huge price to kill most of the Chimera beasts, the Ministry of Magic of various countries classified its eggs as Class A non-tradable goods. Anyone who dared to trade privately would be sent to Azkaban without hesitation.

Now Hagrid actually said that someone would get him a live chimera? !

Jerry grabbed Hagrid's arm tightly with a serious look on his face: "Listen to me, Hagrid, give up this idea! It's not something you can deal with, and you don't want to see students and professors injured or even killed. Bar?"

Jerry was surprised to find that a smile appeared on Hagrid's face: "Oh, don't worry, Jerry."

He said: "Of course I can't deal with that guy by myself, but deep in the Forbidden Forest, there are many things that can deal with that guy - it can't escape from the Forbidden Forest."

Deep in the Forbidden Forest, Jerry certainly knew that there was a nest of Acromantulas raised by Hagrid, a clan of centaurs, legends of fire dragons and wandering werewolves.

These animals may be able to deal with a Chimera, but they will have to pay a huge price. Is this really something Hagrid can accept?

Jerry felt that Hagrid might have underestimated the Chimaira's lethality.

He said seriously: "More than five adult fire dragons may be able to kill a Chimera beast, but you must also be prepared to lose half of it——"

"Of course, I know it very well." Hagrid patted Jerry on the shoulder vigorously, "Don't worry, kid, the Forbidden Forest is much bigger than you think. Even if there are ten more Chimaira beasts, there won't be any trouble."

Jerry frowned, suddenly realizing that his knowledge of the Forbidden Forest was very limited.

Other time travelers treated the Forbidden Forest as their own back garden and entered and exited it at will when they were in the third grade, but he only entered the Forbidden Forest once when he was in the first grade.

If it is true, as Hagrid said, that there are a large number of magical animals more dangerous than Chimeras living in the Forbidden Forest, then there seems to be no problem in throwing a Chimera in...

and many more!

Compared to Chimeramon, a mysterious organization that can take out a Chimera and trade it at will is obviously more dangerous!

"Hagrid, do you know who you are dealing with?"

"I don't know, they are all wearing black robes -" Seeing the expressions of Jerry and Hermione, Hagrid hurriedly explained, "The rules of the black market are that you cannot ask each other's identity."

Jerry took a look at Hagrid's figure, but your identity has been completely exposed!

"But I guess they are the dark wizard organization in Greece. The Ministry of Magic in that country is too weak to control those daring guys..."
