Hogwarts: Who hasn't collected a Horcrux?

Hermione is working harder now, striving for every opportunity to add points for Gryffindor.

Not only that, Hermione will also urge William to work hard for the house points.

After all, the points deducted from Gryffindor this time were all caused by them.

William prefers Charms class because Professor Freeze really adds points.

"Oh, well done! Look everyone, Mr. Cavendish has succeeded! Five points to Gryffindor!"

"Very good! Mr. Cavendish's Restoration Charm was excellent, five points for Gryffindor!"

"……"

As long as he was learning spells, William always got extra points from Professor Freeway.

The second was Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration class.

Although not as frequent as Professor Freeway, he still got a lot of extra points.

What he hated most was Snape. Although he was very serious in every potion class and his operation was impeccable, Snape just didn't give him extra points.

Of course, he wouldn't be deducted points, but Harry would always be found out by Snape, and then he would be deducted points.

This made all the Gryffindor students hate Snape.

It was because he was too biased towards Slytherin.

Harry joined the Quidditch house team, and Professor McGonagall gave him a Nimbus 2000, which made Ron envious.

However, after joining the house team, he had to spend three nights a week on Quidditch training, and Harry looked even more hurried.

Two months passed in a flash.

In these two months, William's strength has made great progress.

By hiring the Weasley twins, William collected some magical creatures, including Nifflers, goblins, Auguries, fairies, and vixens.

As for other magical creatures, they were not something they could easily get.

For this, William paid them almost eighty gold galleons, far exceeding the actual value of these things.

But William gained more from these creatures, so he didn't care.

In addition to these, William also bought a lot of magical plants from Professor Sprout.

After the Herbology class that day, William did not buy the magical plants he learned, because Professor Sprout felt that the Devil's Snare was more dangerous and not suitable to sell to him.

Since the professor said so, what else could William do but give up.

After walking out of the greenhouse, William did not return to the castle, but went to Hagrid's hut.

In the past two months, William and Hagrid have become familiar with each other.

After all, both of them are more interested in magical animals, although William is thinking about collecting, and Hagrid is true love.

But there is no obstacle in their communication. Even if it is a collection, it is necessary to know how to take care of them.

After William came to Hagrid's hut, Hagrid enthusiastically made him tea and brought his signature rock cake.

"William, you came at the right time. I was going to write a letter to invite you, but I didn't expect you to come here on your own."Hagrid said excitedly.

William smiled slightly and said,"That's really a coincidence. Hagrid, do you have anything important to talk to me about?"

"William, I only want to tell you about this, don't tell anyone else."Hagrid said solemnly.

Seeing Hagrid so serious, William nodded and assured him,"Don't worry, I'm the most strict one and I will definitely not tell anyone else."

"That's good." Hagrid was relieved when he heard William say that.

Then he said excitedly:"I got a baby mantis cub with a human head and a sphinx body!"

"A man-headed lion-body scorpion-tailed beast!" William exclaimed

""Keep your voice down." Hagrid looked cautious.

It was no wonder William was so surprised. It was because the Manticore was so rare. The Manticore was an extremely dangerous creature native to Greece.

As its name suggests, it has a human head, a lion's body and a scorpion's tail. The

Manticore's skin almost rejects all known spells, so it is extremely difficult to control it with magic.

Anyone stung by it will die immediately.

According to the book, in 1296, a Manticore crippled a man but was let go.

Because no one knew it , it would be killed. No one dares to approach it.

William remembered that when the Scorpion was mentioned in the original book, it appeared as a background board for the Exploding-Tailed Skrewt.

Hagrid let a Scorpion and a Fire Crab crossbreed to give birth to the Exploding-Tailed Skrewt.

I really don't know how he made these two cooperate obediently.

The Scorpion he is talking about now is probably the one he will use for crossbreeding in the future.

Maybe it was because Hagrid raised it since it was a child that he would cooperate with Hagrid in the future.

William had calmed down at this time, and he said,"I have seen this creature in The Properties of Things written by Bartholomeus Angorix."

"The book describes in detail the terrifying features of the manticore beast."

"It is said to have a red lion body, a human face, human ears and blue eyes, three rows of sharp teeth in each upper and lower jaws, and a deadly stinger at the end of its tail like a scorpion, which can be fired in any direction."

"Hagrid, is it the same as what is written in the book? William asked curiously.

Hagrid nodded vigorously:"Yes, yes, it is just as you said."

"William, I can't believe it, you are so knowledgeable that you don't seem like a first-year wizard."

William was not at all modest in response to Hagrid's praise. He was indeed knowledgeable. After all, he had obtained all the magical knowledge of Ravenclaw.

He looked at Hagrid and asked tentatively,"Hagrid, can I see the manticore cub you mentioned?"

Hagrid agreed without even thinking,"Of course, but you should look at it from a distance. It is still quite dangerous.""

"No problem. William said cheerfully.

"Come with me, I'll show you it." Hagrid stood up and walked outside.

It seemed that the manticore cub was not here, and William hurriedly followed Hagrid's steps.

William thought that Hagrid kept it in the Forbidden Forest, but that was not the case.

Hagrid did not take William into the Forbidden Forest, but came to a small hill not far from the cabin.

When William got closer, he found that a cave had been dug there.

And judging from the appearance of the cave, it was not excavated recently, but had been there for decades.

"William, this is the inside, follow me in."

Hagrid said as he walked in first, and William followed him in.

The cave should have been dug by Hagrid. It was more than four meters high, but not deep inside. The light from outside shone in, and it was not too dark.

In the innermost part of the cave was a fence made of iron pillars that reached the top of the cave. There was a door on the right wall.

And at this time, the human-headed sphinx was locked in the fence.

"William, this is a baby Scorpion Tailed Beast. Don't get too close to it. Although it's still small, it's very dangerous."

William looked at this magical creature. Its appearance was consistent with the description in the book, but it was still small, only the size of a puppy.

Any creature looks cute when it is small, and this Scorpion Tailed Beast is no exception.

After William saw it, his curiosity was satisfied, so he asked Hagrid,"Hagrid, where did you get this Scorpion Tailed Beast?"

"I bought this from a Greek guy at the Hog's Head. I also bought a three-headed dog from him before."

Hagrid is a bit honest. He tells William what he wants to tell him. He doesn't keep anything to himself.

""Is that Greek guy a smuggler of magical creatures?" William asked doubtfully.

Hagrid shook his head."I don't know. I've only seen him twice, both times in the bar.""

"Do you have his contact information?" William asked again

"No." Hagrid shook his head."Why are you asking for his contact information?"

"Of course I'll buy him some rare magical creatures, what else can I do?"

Hagrid scratched his head:"I think you should think about this after graduation. Hogwarts prohibits keeping dangerous pets."
