The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 67: Tree guard



  As soon as he approached Hagrid's hut, Ya Ya rushed over here, spinning around several people. Albert squatted down, rubbed his dog's head with his hand, and scratched his chin, which calmed Yaya.

   Hagrid has opened the wooden door of the room and invited everyone into the room.

   There is only one room in the hut, with ham and roast pheasant hanging on the ceiling, and a copper kettle on the fireplace. The fire has long gone out. In the corner is a large bed with a bedding made of rags.

   Hagrid picked up a pink umbrella in the corner and lit the fire, and hung the copper kettle with water on it to boil, apparently preparing to make tea for them.

While doing these things, he did not forget to turn around and say to the three of them: "Next time, next time I will see you sneaking into the woods, I will hand you over to Professor McGonagall, she will definitely let you not Dare to enter the woods again."

   "We are just curious...what is in the forest." George muttered, "Why, Dumbledore would prohibit students from entering the forest."

"There are beasts in the forest, and there are magical creatures that are dangerous for you." Hagrid explained to them impatiently, "Dumbledore forbade you to enter the forest for no reason. There is no reason for you now. It's too dangerous to say."

   "Hagrid, be careful not to let the tree guards fall into the fireplace. They seem to be afraid of fire." Albert turned the subject away.

"Oh!" Hegla opened the chair and sat down. By the way, he put the tree guard pot on the table, took out the herbal medicine from the cabinet next to it, put it in his mouth and chewed it, applied it to the tree guard pot wound, and also Use some small wooden boards to help the tree guarding Luo Guo for a fixed bandage, and tie it with unicorn tail hair.

   However, this is a slender job for Hagrid, but he still takes it seriously.

   It’s just that the bandaged tree guarding pot doesn't seem to appreciate it, a little annoyed by the small wooden board on his body.

   "I'm not very good at this kind of fine work." After Hagrid handled the tree guard, he said to everyone, "The hands and feet of the tree guard are very delicate, and it is easy to get injured and broken."

   The kettle rang, Hagrid poured boiling water into the big teapot, poured a cup of amber tea for everyone, and a plate of rough, irregularly shaped biscuits was next to it.

   "This is Baixian." Albert asked, picking up the plant Hagrid was chewing on.

"Well, Baixian is the simplest and most effective plant I can find. I specifically asked Professor Sprout for some. It is very suitable for treating most animal injuries." Hagrid took a mouthful of the hot tea, and again After eating a few small biscuits, I began to introduce the breeding of tree guarding Luo Guo enthusiastically.

   Hagrid took out a wooden box with something similar to brown rice. He said to several people: "Feed this to the tree guardian pot to make them feel better."

   "Hagrid, what is this?" Albert grabbed a handful and handed it to the two tree guards who were trying to shake off the bandages. They immediately stopped struggling and rushed to eat.

   "Earth turtle." Hagrid said, "a kind of insect that tree guards like to eat. Of course, fairy eggs are also their favorite food."

   Fred and Li Jordan both try to feed the tree guard, while George is competing with a small cookie.

Albert saw George picking up a small biscuit and putting it in his mouth. After biting a few bites, he found that he couldn't bite. He reached out and took the biscuit out of his mouth. He looked in front of him, as if he was suspecting that he had just bitten. It's not cookies, but stones.

   Seeing this scene, Albert wanted to laugh a little, he didn't want to touch the cookies at all. This kind of biscuit might be just right for Hagrid's mouth, but it's quite awkward to Albert.

   "Hagrid, what are they good for?" Fred asked, pointing to the tree guard.

   "What's the use?" Hagrid thought for a while and replied that the tree guards are the best forest rangers. The trees that live with them will grow particularly lush, and the wood of these trees is usually suitable for making magic wands.

"If one day, you want to remove leaves or wood from the tree guarded by the tree guarding Luoguo, it is best to give them some turtles or fairy eggs as a soothing, otherwise you must be careful of their sharp claws. Cases of blindness."

   "Aren't you here some?" Hagrid asked suspiciously, noticing that several people had barely moved their cookies.

   "No, it's dinner time." Albert quibbled. He took out his pocket watch to check the time and said, "I think we should go back to the castle so we won't miss dinner time."

   "That's right." Hagrid suddenly remembered something, and said to Albert, "The dead tree trunk outside is a sorbus tree..."

   "Thank you Hagrid!" Albert immediately thanked him, "I will cut a short section and take it back later."

   "Need my help?" Hagrid liked the polite child in front of him, because of his appearance, many students were afraid of him, and few were willing to chat with him.

   "No need!" Albert drew out his wand, pointed at the dead tree and said, "Torn apart."

   "Is that enough?"

   "I can't take any more." Albert used the cutting spell to cut himself a short section of the tree trunk, "I may use some more in the future."

   "Then I will put it behind the houseYou need to get it yourself." Hagrid nodded and said.

   "Goodbye Hagrid." Albert picked up a small section of the tree trunk and greeted the other three roommates to walk towards the castle together.

   "What do you want this to do?" Li Qiaodan asked puzzledly.

   "You will know in the future." Albert smiled and asked the three of them, "How is the forest?"

"Similar to the woods near my house." Fred blinked at Albert and said, "We went in from the other side of the wood. I didn't expect to encounter Hagrid dragging the dry tree trunk. He probably went into the woods to help you. I made a pineapple tree."

   "So, you were caught by Hagrid?" Albert wanted to laugh a little. He felt that the luck of the three was really bad.

   "I dare say they must be lying to us, there are no dangerous creatures in the forest." George complained.

   Albert said in his heart, if you meet him, you might have been eaten away, so how can you have the mind to gossip here?

   Albert asked back: "You said... why are they cheating the students?"

  Fred curled his lips and said, "Percy said that there are many dangerous beasts in the woods, but in fact not many people have actually seen those beasts."

   "Actually, you need to change your mind." Albert reminded, "Why does Dumbledore not allow students to enter the woods?"

   "Do you think...what secrets are hidden in the forest?" Li Qiaodan's eyes lit up when he heard this.

"This is possible, of course, there are other possibilities." Albert continued to analyze to the three of them. "There should be many magical creatures living in the depths of the Forbidden Forest. Didn't Hagrid say that there are unicorns in the Forbidden Forest? These magical creatures are dangerous to us, and going too deep into the forbidden forest can also cause students to get lost."
