Capítulo 30: 30 Hippogriff
Meanwhile, on another side of the castle, a situation was developing:
"Come on, hurry up!" Hagrid yelled as his students approached. Today I have something special for you! A great lesson! Is everyone already? Well, follow me!
For one unpleasant moment Harry was afraid that Hagrid was leading them into the woods; Harry had lived in that place experiences so unpleasant that he could never forget them. However, Hagrid walked along the edge of the trees, and five minutes later they found themselves in front of a meadow where there was nothing.
"All of you come over to the fence!" The Scream-. Make sure you have good vision. The first thing you have to do is open the books...
"In what way?" came the cold, drawling voice of Draco Malfoy.
-That? Hagrid said.
"How do we open the books?" Malfoy repeated. He took out his copy of
The monstrous book of monsters, which he had tied up with a rope. Others imitated him. Some, like Harry, had tied the book with a belt; others had stuffed it very tightly in their backpacks or held it down with clips.
"No one has been able to open the book?" Hagrid asked disappointedly.
The entire class shook their heads.
"You have to pet him," said Hagrid, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. Behold...
He picked up Hermione's copy and unwrapped the magical tape that held it. The book tried to bite him, but Hagrid ran his huge index finger along its spine, and the book shuddered, and it fell open and lay still in his hand.
"What fools we've all been!" Malfoy said dismissively.
We had to pet him! How did we not think of it?
"I…I thought you'd be amused," Hagrid said doubtfully to Hermione.
"Ah, how amusing we are...!" Malfoy said. Really clever, making us buy books that want to eat our hands!
"Shut up, Malfoy," Harry told him quietly. Hagrid had been a bit sad and Harry wanted his first class to be a success.
"Well then," said Hagrid, who seemed to have lost the thread. So... you already have the books and... and... now you need the magical creatures. Yeah, so I'll go for them. wait a minute...
He walked away from them, into the woods, and out of sight.
"My God, this place is in decline," Malfoy said aloud.
These idiot classes... My father will have a fit when I tell him about it.
"Shut up, Malfoy," Harry repeated.
"Careful, Potter; there is a dementor behind you.
"Ooooh!" Lavender Brown yelled, pointing across the meadow.
Trotting towards them were a dozen creatures, the strangest Harry had ever seen. They had the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but the front legs, wings, and head of a giant eagle. The beak was the color of steel and the eyes a bright orange.
The claws on the forelegs were six inches each and looked like deadly weapons. Each beast wore a thick leather collar around its neck, attached to a long chain. Hagrid held in his big hands the end of all the chains. He was coming running across the meadow, following the creatures.
"Go over there!" —He yelled at them, shaking the chains and forcing the beasts to go to the fence, where the students were. They all backed a little as Hagrid reached them and tied the animals to the fence.
"Hippogriffs!" Hagrid yelled happily, waving to his students. What are they beautiful?
"Come on," said Hagrid, rubbing his hands together and grinning at them, "if you guys want to come a little closer..."
No one seemed to want to get close. Harry, Ron and Hermione, however, cautiously approached the fence.
—The first thing you have to know about hippogriffs is that they are proud
Hagrid said. They get upset very easily. Never offend anyone, because it could be the last thing you do.
"You always have to wait for the hippogriff to make the first move."
Hagrid continued. He is polite, you know? You go to him, bow and wait. If he responds with a bow, he means that he allows you to touch him.
If he doesn't bow, then you better get away from him right away, because he can do a lot of damage with his claws. Okay, who wants to be first?
In response, most of the class moved even further away. Even Harry,
Ron and Hermione were suspicious. The hippogriffs shook their ferocious heads and spread their mighty wings; they seemed to dislike being tied down.
-Nobody? Hagrid asked in a pleading voice.
"Me," Harry offered.
"Good boy, Harry!" Hagrid yelled. Let's see how you get on with Buckbeak.
"Easy now, Harry," said Hagrid quietly. Look into his eyes first. Try not to blink. Hippogriffs don't trust you if you blink too much...
Harry's eyes began to sting, but he didn't close them. Buckbeak had turned his large, tapering head, and he was staring at Harry with one terrible orange eye.
"That's right," said Hagrid. That's right, Harry. He now he bows his head...
The hippogriff continued to stare at him haughtily. He didn't move.
"Ah," said Hagrid, concerned. Okay, go back, easy, slow.
But then, to Harry's surprise, the hippogriff bent its wrinkled front knees and bowed low.
"Well done, Harry!" said Hagrid elatedly. Well, you can touch it! Give it a few pats on the beak, come on.
The class broke into applause. Everyone except Malfoy, Crabbe, and Goyle, who looked very disappointed.
"Good, Harry," said Hagrid. I think the hippogriff would let you ride him!
This was more than Harry had expected. He was used to the broom; but he was not sure that a hippogriff looked like it.
"Get up there, behind the winghead," said Hagrid. And he tries not to pull out any feathers, because he wouldn't like it...
Harry put his foot on Buckbeak's wing and climbed on his back.
Buckbeak got up. Harry didn't know where to hold on: everything in front of him was covered in feathers.
-Come on! Hagrid yelled, slapping the hippogriff on the hindquarters.
Buckbeak flew over the meadow and came down. It was what Harry had feared.
He leaned back as the hippogriff tilted downward. She gave him the impression that he was going to slide down the peak. Then he felt a sharp thud as the animal landed on all four legs, and he managed to catch himself and scramble to his feet.
"Very good, Harry!" Hagrid yelled, as everyone but
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle. Well, who else wants to try?
Emboldened by Harry's success, the others cautiously jumped onto the meadow. Hagrid untied the hippogriffs one by one, and before long the students were bowing sheepishly all over the meadow. Neville ran back several times because his hippogriff didn't seem to want to bend her knees. Ron and Hermione practiced on the brown one, while Harry watched.
Malfoy, Crabbe and Goyle had chosen Buckbeak. He had bowed his head to Malfoy, who was patting his beak with a dismissive expression.
"This is very easy," Malfoy said, drawling the syllables and loud enough for Harry to hear. It had to be easy, if Potter was able... Aren't you dangerous? he told the hippogriff. Are you, you filthy beast?
Offending the hippogriff, Buckbeak scratched his arm with his claw. He was closing in on Malfoy but Hagrid stepped between them to stop him and save Malfoy.
After calming down the hippogriff the class was canceled and he took Malfoy to the infirmary.
"They should fire him immediately!" Pansy Parkinson exclaimed, that hippogriff almost killing Draco.
"It was Malfoy's fault!" Dean Thomas defended him.
Crabbe and Goyle flexed menacingly.
The Slytherins kept murmuring against Hagrid.

In the great dining room the news broke about Malfoy's accident and they were talking about the revenge that his father would take against Hagrid.
Sasuke didn't mind as he was concentrating on finishing all the tasks so he could use his free time efficiently.
When the weekend arrived, Sasuke, having no pending tasks, decided to explore the forbidden forest, with the goal of creating a base to train and decipher the summoning jutsu; Upon reaching the required destination, he scanned the area with his sharingan to see if there were any traces of magic, which could be used to monitor him, but he found nothing.
As he sat in the lotus position to meditate, the acromantulas came in great numbers to kill him in revenge for the past year.
Unfortunately, Sasuke waited for them to get closer to use the spells he learned from watching Tom Riddle, with his wand he summoned a whip of fire, which began to burn them on contact as it concentrated the heat into a fine shape.
The acromantulas realized their mistake, they had to flee desperately, but with his right hand he controlled the whip, but his left hand used his wandless magic of cutting wind, and cut down the trees to block their way, while burning and cutting them. in pieces.
After half an hour not one was left alive; He proceeded to build his base underground with doton jutsu; but it would take months to build it as he wanted but had time
