Chapter 295: Buckbeak and Flying

On the Quidditch pitch, Harry and the rest of the team were lifted onto their shoulders by the crowd.

Everyone led them towards the rostrum, outside the crowd, Hagrid waved the huge scarlet wreath specially prepared for him by Ivan, and shouted loudly, "You beat them, Harry, you beat them! Wait, I'm going to tell Buckbeak about this!"

Beside him was an excited Percy, jumping up and down like a madman.

Because of the excitement, everyone even forgot their dignity.

Compared to Sirius, who was secretly wiping away tears, Professor McGonagall was crying more than anyone else, and she was wiping away tears with a huge Gryffindor banner.

Dumbledore, who hadn't appeared just now, did not know when he came to the Quidditch field. He smiled and held the huge Quidditch trophy in his hand.

Wood sobbed as he took the trophy, held it high and passed it to Harry.

The trophy was passed between each team member, and then all the Gryffindor students in turn.

Colin held the camera and frantically pressed the shutter. When the trophy was passed to him, he was so excited that he almost passed out. He asked others to take a photo of him, but it was not alone, but asked Ai Wen to stand with him.

According to Colin, after hearing the stories he told, Ivan has become his younger brother's new idol, and this photo will be sent directly to the other party as a gift.

After that, Ivan also asked Colin to take a few photos of him, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.

Although he didn't pay much attention to these things, what Colin said just now reminded him that these photos can be used as gifts.

Ever since Aiwen's experience of catching Peter Pettigrew alone and saving Sirius was published by the Daily Prophet, he has inexplicably gained many admirers, most of whom are young wizards like Colin's brother who have not yet reached school age .

Many people began writing to him regularly and sending him cards on Christmas Day. However, most of them are fresh for a while, and children are the most forgetful. After a few months, they gradually stopped sending him letters when Ivan didn't reply.

The only exception is a ten-year-old girl from France named Gabriel de la Cour, who writes to him twice a week regardless of whether Ivan replies or not. In addition to the three letter papers that were very full, there were also pictures, photos, and some small gifts for Aiwen. This perseverance made Aiwen very ashamed.

So when Colin said that he would give the photo to his younger brother as a gift, Ivan thought of Gabrielle.

Although today's match has nothing to do with him, he promised the other party to introduce friends around him to her.

The grand carnival to celebrate Gryffindor winning the Quidditch trophy lasted for a long time. In addition to Professor McGonagall, Sirius, and Hagrid, there were many Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students who came to Gryffindor. Fendor's Common Room joins them.

Ivan saw Cedric and Qiu, but he didn't see Luna.

According to others, she didn't even go to watch the game, but was alone in the castle looking for harassers who didn't exist.

Aiwen remembered that this morning, Luna invited him to accompany her to find the harasser. Although he was not interested in it, it was a good excuse.

He didn't stay too long in the party, taking the opportunity to find Luna to leave the common room. Aiwen walked straight to the field outside the castle. He had just asked Hagrid that Buckbeak was chained outside the cabin.

Aiwen didn't intend to go too deep, he was just going to try it out today to see if it was feasible to ride Buckbeak into the acromantula's territory.

He needs to make a detailed plan if it works. At the very least, tell Sirius about this and ask for his help.

Not long before the end of the semester, time is already very tight. According to the normal trajectory, Voldemort will recover his strength and return by this time next year. Although the plot has been changed by Ivan, no one can say what will happen.

Even without the help of Peter Pettigrew, Voldemort would not be able to stay in the shadow of the Albanian forest and do nothing. Professor Trelawney's new prophecy is very worrying

Considering this, Ivan had to speed up.

As he thought about it, he walked quickly to Hagrid's cabin.

Buckbeak was chained behind a fruit tree in a pumpkin field, his huge wings folded tightly at his sides.

When Ivan approached, it was enjoying a plate of dead ferrets in front of it, which was its favorite food.

Hearing the sound of footsteps, Buckbeak raised his head, staring at Ivan with fierce orange eyes.

After finding the person he was familiar with, he turned his attention back to the food in front of him, slapping, slapping, spitting out a few ferret bones on the ground.

Ivan walked into Buckbeak and untied the rope for it. Although he had never ridden a Hippogriff before this, he knew the specific operation method. He had heard Hagrid, Harry, and Hermione tell them countless times.

First, you have to look into the monster's eyes to gain its trust.

The trick is not to blink or close your eyes too much, or the hippogriff will become suspicious and think you can't be trusted.

After obtaining the most basic trust, it is to express respect to the other party.

The easiest way to do this is to bow, which, in Hagrid's words, is polite. If the Hippogriff returns the gift, you can touch and ride it.

It doesn't seem too difficult, especially since Aiwen and Buckbeak are very familiar with each other, which makes the whole process easier.

Ivan approached Buckbeak, staring at its scary orange eyes.

It stood up, shook its furry, big and pointed head slightly, and looked at Ivan curiously, not knowing what he was going to do.

Ivan bowed slightly, and Buckbeak examined it. After a few seconds of stalemate, he also suddenly bent his scaly front knees, sank down, and saluted him back.

Ivan's heart relaxed, and he walked over and put one foot on Buckbeak's wing, climbed onto his back, and sat behind his wing joint.

Because of the thick feathers, every part of Aiwen's body was covered with long, beautiful chestnut feathers, which felt very warm and comfortable to the touch, as if sitting on a soft sofa.

Buckbeak took up the position, and looked back at Ivan suspiciously.

"Listen, buddy!" Ivan patted Buckbeak's head lightly, "I want to go to the territory of the acromantula, which is deep in the forbidden forest, that huge depression without trees, you know what I'm going to say what?"

Buckbeak was still looking at Ivan, and then he lowered his head and swallowed a dead ferret in one gulp. Just when Ivan thought it didn't understand what he meant, without any warning, Buckbeak's 12-foot-long wings flew over Ivan. The sides of the text spread out and flew up with a bang.

Aiwen caught its neck in time as it flew upwards.

He found that he was getting farther and farther away from the ground, and soon rose above the field.

The cold air whizzed past, and Hagrid's cabin and trees became smaller and smaller under Aiwen's feet. To be continued.
