Chapter 273: Hagrid's Return

Chapter 713 The Return of Hagrid

During the entire Easter holiday, Rolf worked in a two-shift system.

He had to practice with the three girls during the day, and at night he had to take Shirley to bed to study lucid dreams and the Imperius Curse... He was so busy that his head was hanging upside down!

Of course, the effect was still very significant.

Although Rolf could defeat the three girls every time, facing their increasingly skilled joint attacks, he gradually became more and more uncomfortable. He had to increase his suppression strength little by little to deal with them.

It can only be said that with his hard work every day, Shirley, Hermione and Fleur have indeed grown a lot!

In this busyness, the Easter holiday ended, the students ushered in the summer semester, and Hagrid, who had been away for several months, finally came back.

That day, after the Herbology class, the Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students separated and walked towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest.

Before arriving at the wooden house, everyone saw a tall figure standing in front of the house waiting for them.

Since Rita Skeeter's report, Hagrid has disappeared without a trace. Many students thought he was expelled or imprisoned in Azkaban.

Seeing him again, the little wizards were very surprised. They gathered in groups of three or five and whispered. When the Ravenclaw students arrived, the discussion became louder.

Finally, some students couldn't help but raised their hands and asked:

"Hagrid... Professor, where is Professor Grubbly-Plank? Why doesn't she teach us?"

This question was quite impolite.

Professor Grubbly-Plank was only a substitute teacher, and Hagrid was the real professor of Care of Magical Creatures. It was natural for him to teach.

But everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with Hagrid, who taught the blasting-tailed skrewt for half a year, Grubbly-Plank, the substitute teacher, was more popular and loved by the students.

Hagrid also knew this. Not only was he not angry, he also carefully explained:

"Professor Grubbly-Plank had something to do... He went back to the Hebrides... I will temporarily take over the class."

This was both humble and sad, so the honest and kind Hufflepuff students applauded Hagrid and welcomed his return.

Hagrid was very moved, and wiped his wet eyes again and again with a dirty handkerchief.

After the class bell rang, Hagrid led the students to the pumpkin field and came to a pile of open cardboard boxes.

The students thought that another nest of small blasting-tailed skrewts had hatched, and their hearts sank.

But when they got closer, they found that it was not blasting-tailed skrewts, but a group of fluffy little guys:

They have long noses, flat front paws, like shovels, and are covered with black fluff all over their bodies, which is very strange.

Rolf and Shirley looked at each other, and tacitly took off the shiny items on their bodies and put them back in their wallets.

"This is the Niffler," Hagrid waited until all the students gathered, clapped his hands, and introduced:

"You can usually see it in the mines, they like shiny things..."

Hagrid hadn't finished his words, a Niffler suddenly jumped up and jumped onto Hannah, she screamed in fear, and ran away with her schoolbag without caring about her elegant demeanor.

The Niffler didn't stay for too long, it jumped onto a wooden stake and played with a hairpin inlaid with a row of rhinestones.

Hannah touched her hair and shouted, "My hairpin was stolen..."

Neville immediately rushed towards the Niffler like a hero to save the beauty, but the Niffler kicked his hind paws, took advantage of the momentum, jumped onto another student's arm, and stole another watch.

The Niffler went in and out of the crowd, and not only did everyone fail to catch it, but also lost seven or eight items.

For a while, the scene was extremely chaotic.

The Niffler is a master of escape, so it is definitely impossible to catch it like this.

As a sniffing expert, Rolf took a gold coin from his pocket, which shone in the sun.

The sniffing couldn't take his eyes off it, and immediately pounced on Rolf and snatched Garlon away.

But the next second, Garlon turned into a rope, and the sniffing fled in panic. He changed his route several times, but was still wrapped around his ankles by the rope that followed him like a shadow.

The sniffing jumped hard, jumped high, grabbed the branches with his claws, and wanted to flip up the tree, but was dragged to the ground.

Rolf shook his wrist again, and the rope bent into a beautiful arc, like fishing, dragging the sniffing back.

Shirley bent down and grabbed the sniffing, lifted it upside down, and shook it hard as if shaking a quilt.

The next second, a lot of shiny things fell out of the sniffing belly bag and crashed on the ground.

The students came forward and took back their things.

It grumbled angrily, and it was obviously very ugly.

However, the ponytail girl reached out and scratched the furry belly of the Niffler, and it immediately stopped barking and made a comfortable and happy "purr".

"Everyone pick up the shiny things, don't let the Niffler steal them." Hagrid said loudly: "Next, we will play a little game with these Nifflers!"

He pointed to the large piece of newly turned land and said, "I buried some gold coins in the ground. Whoever picked the Niffler and dug out the most gold coins will be rewarded."

Hearing that there were gold coins buried in the ground, the little wizards who were not very happy just now rushed to Hagrid. It seemed that if they were a second slower, they would not be able to pick the best Niffler.

Rolf also chose a half-grown Niffler and threw it into the ground. It began to drill in and out of the soil like a fish in water.

After the sniffers find the gold coins, they will rush back and put the gold coins into the students' hands.

Rolf held a handful of gold coins, knowing they were the Leprechaun's gold coins.

These gold coins are created by leprechauns using magic. Although they look and feel very similar to ordinary Galleons coins, they disappear after a few hours.

Therefore, the Nifflers did not miss it and gave it to the wizard directly.

But the little wizards didn't seem to know, they were still working on it enthusiastically, and some even secretly hid the gold coins in their pockets.

At this time, Hagrid came over and asked uncertainly: "Is the content of this lesson okay?"

"Okay," said Rolf, "Everyone likes these sniffers."

Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief. He was very afraid that the courses he had prepared were still not recognized by the students.

A Niffler ran over and put a large handful of gold into Shirley's hand. She took out the freeze-dried gold from her pocket, rewarded it, and then whispered:

"Hagrid, welcome back."

"Thank you." Hagrid said with a smile: "I didn't want to come back, but Professor Dumbledore went to the Forbidden Forest to find me and invited me to come back. He said that there was something for me to do, and I had to come back." "

"What's going on?" Luofu asked curiously.

"Dumbledore asked me to help design the third project of the Triwizard Tournament." Hagrid glanced around and said in a low voice:

"You guys come out quietly tonight, and I will take you to see the content of the game."
