I can enter Hogwarts in the last days

Chapter 37 The Protection of Fantastic Beasts

Outside Hogwarts Castle, in an open space on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, this is the venue for the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class.

Looking at the unfamiliar faces, this is the first time Ian has a class with students of the same grade.

"Sure enough, the development in Europe and America is super fast."

Compared with the immature ones in the first grade, the little wizards in the third grade are already a little green, and at a glance, he has already found many girls who have begun to take shape.

At the same time, Ian suddenly felt two sneaky figures approaching behind him. Thanks to the vigilance he had cultivated for a long time in the last days, he stepped away instantly when the opponent approached.

Turning around, Ian realized that it was his two roommates who spread their hands and said with a smile on their face.

"Good afternoon! I'm sorry you two didn't scare me."

Andre looked at Ivy with some dissatisfaction: "It's all your fault, I said one person is fine, two people are easy to be discovered."

Ivy who heard the words just shrugged, with an innocent expression on his face.

"Gentlemen, it's almost time for class."

Just when Andre was about to say something, a voice next to him suddenly interrupted, and a boy with a somewhat helpless tone reminded him.

Ian looked at the other party. The blue shading robe, as expected, was also a Ravenclaw, but he was not familiar with the third grade, so he couldn't call him by name at all.

"Hey, Scott, you're coming soon. Even if Professor Kettleburn were here, he wouldn't stop us from talking. This is Care of Fantastic Beasts, not Potions."

Hearing the words, Andre immediately fought back, shaking the "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" in his hand while speaking, showing the correctness of his language.

Before the other party could say anything more, Ivy next to him immediately gestured with his eyes and looked to the other side.It turned out that Professor Kettleburn, who was in charge of teaching this course, was already standing not far away.

……

The elderly professor has only one arm and half of a leg left.So even though he has installed a prosthetic, he has to rely on crutches to move.

"Very well, you are all here!"

The old wizard has always been in good spirits, and his voice is full of spirit.

"Come and see, the lesson we are going to learn today is to know the swallowtail dog."

Crup is a breed bred by wizards. It is very similar to the Jack Russell Hound. The difference is that the tail of the Crup is forked and scissor-shaped like a swift, so it is named Crup.

This dog is extremely loyal to wizards, but extremely ferocious to Muggles.

After the course started, Professor Kettleburn asked the students to work in groups of four to get to know a young swallowtail dog.

"Don't look at the small size of these little guys, they can eat almost all the food equal to their own size."

Professor Kettleburn staggered among the students, bent down from time to time, and lovingly stroked the dogs' heads of those little guys.

"Now, you can feed these little guys with the food I prepared in advance, and try to establish feelings with them."

Ian, two roommates, and Scott were assigned to a group, and Professor Kettleburn assigned them a light gray puppy.

At this time, they squatted on the ground and surrounded the little milk dog.

It seemed a little uneasy at the moment, barking childishly, obviously full of vigilance towards them.Only when Professor Kettleburn strokes it, will it happily shake its forked swallowtail.

"Oh, little guy?"

Andre wrinkled his face and used a dry branch to pick out some cow's internal organs from a small bucket beside him.

"Eat, little guy?"

A light gray swallow-tailed dog leaned over and sniffed it, and immediately pounced on it to feast on it.

"Look, the little guy's tail is wagging, which means it recognizes me." Andre said with some pride.

"I think we all need to get acquainted with this little guy, so we'll take turns feeding him next."

Coster on the side proposed to speak, and after he finished speaking, he followed suit by sticking a branch into the barrel, but he stirred a little too much, which made the internal organs emit a pungent smell.

A stench came out of his nostrils, but Ian was okay, calm and composed, because he had seen more exaggerated than this in the last days.

But I was suffering from Ivy, and the other party covered his nose instantly, and said with some disgust: "No, I don't need it!"

At this time, Professor Kettleburn loudly asked the students in the crowd:

"Can anyone tell me how to obtain a license issued by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures if I want to raise a swallowtail dog legally?"

Class time is up!

The moment Professor Kettleburn finished speaking, Ian noticed that the students on Ravenclaw's side were much more energetic.Almost like a conditioned reflex, they all raised their hands, in stark contrast to the little badgers lying flat next to them.

"Sure enough, it's Ravenclaw with a lot of masters!"

Ian thought with some emotion, but he didn't care much about these scores, and he was very resigned.

Of course, the premise is that he will not be deducted points. If the points are deducted, he will still find a way to make up for them, based on the principle of no delay and no arrears.

"Then please ... Miss Alsop to answer this question."

Professor Kettleburn glanced over the students who raised their hands, and finally clicked on a Hufflepuff girl to answer the question.From Ian's point of view, this is indeed the professor taking care of Hufflepuff, who has been at the bottom of the school every year.

Miss Alsop, who was called by name, also stood up with a triumphant smile, and began to answer questions according to the script.

"Any wizard who wants to apply to keep a swallowtail dog must complete a simple test before receiving a license from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control.

Moreover, under the requirements of the secrecy law, the owner of the swallow-tailed dog must use a painless cutting spell to cut off their peculiar tail when the swallow-tailed dog is six to eight weeks old, so as to prevent the swallow-tailed dog from attracting the attention of Muggles.

In addition, owners of swallowtail dogs must ensure that they are not allowed to reproduce wantonly in Muggle-controlled communities. "

"Very good, that's a good point." Professor Kettleburn gave him a thumbs up with his remaining hand.

"This answer is very standard, and I have nothing to add. For this, I will give Hufflepuff 10 points."

This is also the practice of Professor Kettleburn in class. He will ask a question in each class, and then if a student answers correctly, he will use up the extra points for this class at once.

And these questions are not too difficult, most of them are some basic knowledge, which belongs to the kind that can find the answer just by flipping through the book.

This also makes everyone raise their hands enthusiastically in the Protection of Fantastic Beasts class.

……

After adding the points, Professor Kettleburn continued the class.

"The swallowtail dogs you are getting acquainted with are all five-week-old puppies, and in the next two weeks, I need you to get acquainted with it as soon as possible.

Because two weeks later, it will be up to you to remove their peculiar tails and use the painless cutting spell. "

When the students were in an uproar, Professor Kettleburn went on to say loudly:

"So in the next two weeks, you not only have to learn how to raise these little guys, but you also have to practice magic in your spare time. You have to ensure that there will be no accidents after you release the painless cutting curse. "

"Poor little guy, you're about to lose your tail."

Andre stroked the puppy's tail maliciously.

It's a pity that this cute dog didn't realize what he was going to face next.After being stroked, his eyes were still wide open, and he rubbed the dog's head against Andre's trousers.

At the end of the class, Professor Kettleburn assigned an assignment - about the history of wizards breeding swallowtail dogs.
