A certain Hogwarts magical cat

Chapter 57 Hagrid's Doubt



Chapter 57 Hagrid's Doubt

Hagrid's hut had only one room, and the ceiling of the room was covered with hams, and under the hams was a fireplace with a copper kettle boiling water on it.

In the corner on the left side of the fireplace is a large bed with quilts made of rags. On the right side is a large window that is as tall as a person. A huge wooden table and wooden chairs are placed in front of it.

At this time, on the wooden table, there was a rock cake the size of a washbasin.
"Try it quickly, I just baked this, it's still hot, I've already eaten a piece, this one is specially reserved for you!"

Hagrid enthusiastically pushed the rock cake to the four of Harry,
Harry quickly waved his hand and said:
"No, no, I just had breakfast!"

The last time he and Ron took a bite of Hagrid's rock pie, they nearly knocked out their teeth.

"I'm full too in the morning!"

Seeing Hagrid looking at him, Ron took a step back in fright,
Hermione gave Ron a strange look. In her impression, Ron, a foodie, would never refuse food.
"Thank you!"

Based on the principle of politeness, although Hermione was not hungry, she still took a small piece and put it in her mouth as a show of respect, but she soon regretted it, because her permanent teeth, which had just fully grown, were almost broken by this rock cake.
Seeing Hermione's situation, Alice, who was about to respond to Hagrid, immediately changed her words:

"Thank you! - Well, I'm full for the morning too!"

And Ron on the side covered his mouth and smiled gloatingly,

It is also very interesting for Ron to be taught by Hermione every time, and occasionally to see Hermione deflated.

"Hey, Yaya, what are you doing standing outside the door, come in quickly, I'm going to close the door!"

Hagrid looked at Fangya who was standing at the door, his calves trembling a little, and he was reluctant to enter the house, with a somewhat surprised expression on his face,
Under normal circumstances, when seeing Harry and Ron, Yaya would immediately rush up and lick wildly, but today it behaved very abnormally, since Harry and the others approached just now, Fangya seemed to be afraid of something,
"Prosperous! Prosperous!"

Fang Fang heard Hagrid's shout, instead of approaching the house, he yelled at Hagrid twice, as if reminding Hagrid to be careful.

And Charlie, who was held in Alice's arms, looked at Fang Ya at the door, and couldn't help but secretly said:
"A big dog with a keen intuition!"

It turns out that Yaya, as a Neapolitan mastiff with magical blood, has a very keen sense of danger even though he is timid.
When Alice approached with Charlie in her arms, Yaya immediately sensed the dangerous aura coming from Charlie, so she was so scared.
In fact, it would be fine normally, but Charlie just killed two giant arachnids yesterday, and the murderous aura on his body has not completely dissipated, so he will naturally emit some dangerous aura involuntarily.

"Fafang seems to be scared, its legs are shaking!"

Harry pointed to Fang Fang and said to Hagrid,
"Oh, Yaya, what are you afraid of?"

Hagrid stared wide-eyed, looked around the room, finally rested his eyes on Charlie, and said with a twitching corner of his mouth:

"Yaya, you are actually afraid of a phantom cat, it is the most tempered cat in the world!"

"Maybe my temper is not too good!"

Ron couldn't help answering, but Alice and Hermione gave him a hard look.

"By the way, Hagrid, this is Charlie, Alice's pet. Do you think he is a phantom Elvis?"

Harry rolled his eyes, suddenly pointed at Charlie and asked Hagrid,
Harry knew that Hagrid seemed to have a lot of research on magical creatures. During the first few times he came to play, Hagrid told him a lot of strange creatures in the wizarding world. He also took him to see the cute Bowtruckle and the fire crab with a fire-breathing tail.

Hagrid glanced at Charlie, touched his big belly and said with a smile:

"Phantom Elvis? There is no such thing as Elvis Presley for phantom cats. Phantom cats are just phantom cats. They live scattered all over the world and are even adopted by some Muggles. They have a gentle personality and are no different from ordinary cats except that they run faster as adults!"

"But Charlie is not only fast, but also very strong, he can even lift me up!"

Alice said a little unconvinced, in her heart, Charlie is very powerful, not as simple as an ordinary phantom cat as Hagrid said,
"Impossible, look at his size, he is not yet an adult, even an adult phantom cat can't lift you up!"

As an expert in magical animals, Hagrid certainly knew very well about phantom cats, a very common magical pet.

"Charlie!"

Seeing that Hagrid didn't believe it, Alice immediately put Charlie in her arms on the huge table, and then she raised her arms,

Charlie stretched on the table first, then looked at Alice helplessly, then rolled his long tail around Alice's waist, and lifted her up very easily.
He didn't mind showing off his extraordinary strength in front of Hagrid. After all, he had already shown some of it when he saved Neville before, and as Hagrid was one of Dumbledore's most trusted people, it wouldn't be a bad thing for him to get to know him in advance.

"This, this is impossible!"

When Hagrid saw Alice being easily lifted in the air by Charlie's tail, his face was full of disbelief.

The wizarding world is very magical, but it must follow due laws. As an expert on magical animals, although Hagrid is inferior to the famous magical zoologist Newt Scamander,
But he can also see that the Charlie in front of him is definitely a purebred phantom cat, and has not been hybridized or mutated. According to his experience, it is absolutely impossible for the phantom cat to have such great strength.
Moreover, a cat's tail is mainly used to balance the body or express one's mood. I haven't seen any cat that can lift people up with its tail, and it's not Zouwu!

Charlie didn't stay in Hagrid's cabin for long, and left quietly,
Currently, Hagrid hasn't won the dragon egg by betting in the bar, so this place is not very attractive to Charlie now, and it would be a waste of time to stay here all the time.

And today he still plans to go to the position yesterday, to see if he can find a chance to kill a few more acromantulas, and take advantage of the opportunity to rise to level five.

After entering the Forbidden Forest, Charlie didn't go deep right away. Instead, he circled half a circle along the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Before he entered the Forbidden Forest, he entered along the edge of the Black Lake, not from Hagrid's hut.

In order to find out exactly where he fought the acromantula yesterday, he had to go around to the entrance by the Black Lake and enter from there.
Because when he left the Forbidden Forest yesterday, in order not to find the location, he had marked the tree with a cat's paw along the way.
