"What is this?" Like Cedric, Hagrid's face was also filled with doubt and surprise.
However, he felt an extra touch of joy.
His joy was so evident that even his thick beard couldn't hide it.
"What kind of new breed is this?" Even Ron could tell.
While the Champion were playing, Hogwarts continued to hold classes as usual.
It just so happens that their class times don't coincide with those of the Champion from the other world.
Ron also became familiar with the nightmare Hagrid had them take care of in class— the Blast-Ended Skrewt —a new breed Hagrid had bred Manticore and Fire Crab.
So he immediately made that connection.
Harry on the screen, Cedric also considered this possibility.
After all, before this Triwizard Tournament organized by the gods, they had all taken Care of Magical Creatures and had come into contact with the Blast-Ended Skrewt.
This terrifying creature left a very deep impression on them, and even now, in another world, when faced with an invisible behemoth emitting a horrifying sound, they immediately think of it.
Thinking of this, the giant beast let out another roar.
The sound was like a mixture of a steam whistle and the mournful cry of an elephant.
This sent a chill down Harry as he was being held by Draco.
(Ginny's face darkened. Even though she was used to it, she could understand that Harry was frightened, but with that expression and that position, anyone who didn't know better would think that Harry had just shivered on Draco.)
Harley, noticing this, also turned pale, but not for herself, but for her friend Roan.
But Roan was completely absorbed in the unknown Fantastic Beasts. "It must be the Demiguise."
"You know?" Harry asked in surprise.
Like his friend Ron, this Roan with whom he had an ambiguous relationship was also somewhat uneducated.
Ron only achieved decent results in practical magic skills thanks to his talent, but he always crammed for theoretical knowledge at the last minute.
My final exam results were above average, all thanks to Hermione's encouragement.
As for Roan, since Hermione didn't exist in this world, her grades were below average for the entire grade.
He copies his homework, is inattentive in class, and spends his free time eating.
She can be described as a pure, simple-minded beauty.
Harry was very curious about how she knew, especially since everyone else's eyes were filled with doubt.
Harry's curiosity remained unanswered.
Hagrid followed closely behind, exclaiming, "Great! Gryffindor gets a point! It's the Demiguise!"
"A descendant of the Demiguise and the Fire Dragon, its body can be formed or dispersed without being visible. Because it is always invisible and has no shadow, it is called the Demiguise."
("Always?")
("A descendant of Demiguise and a fire dragon?")
(At this moment, Newt and Hagrid, the Fantastic Beasts experts separated by distance, exclaimed in surprise, based on their respective areas of expertise.)
(The Demiguise, and the Demiguise and the Ghoul's offspring, the Demiguise, cannot remain invisible indefinitely; they only become invisible when threatened.)
(That's what surprised Newt.)
(At the same time, he was worried about the fate of the Demiguise in that world. Even the fur of the Demiguise could be used as material for the Invisibility Cloak, let alone the Demiguise.)
(And Hagrid, as a master specializing in hybridization, was well aware of the difficulties involved.)
(The original Demiguise was created because they were captured and sold, and had relations in a confined space while sharing hardships.)
(This can also be imagined for monsters like the Demiguise that can change shape, and for dragons as well.)
(However, the size and lifestyle of the Demiguise and the Fire Dragon are completely different.)
(A human-sized, white-haired gorilla, several stories tall, with sharp teeth and a body covered in scales.)
(He was utterly baffled as to who was on top and who was on the bottom in this position.)
"Fire dragon?" Upon hearing the name Draco, he immediately perked up.
"What breed is it? Peruvian fangs, Swedish short nose?"
Considering the size of the Demiguise, the species she cited were all relatively small.
"Ukrainian Ironbelly!"
"What?" Draco's eyes widened in disbelief upon hearing Hagrid's answer. "How... how can this be?"
The Ukrainian Ironbelly is not most famous for its round belly, but for its particularly vicious nature.
Rather, it's their size—with a very long wingspan and a weight of up to six tons, they are the largest fire dragons in the world.
And the Demiguise
The difference between a fire dragon and Demiguise is already like an elephant approaching a Chihuahua, while the Ukrainian Ironbelly is like a giant whale approaching a Chihuahua.
(Hagrid narrowed his eyes; he began to doubt whether he had done it.)
(Their unique inflating magic might be the secret to compensating for their size disadvantage.)
(Madame Maxime, however, suspected that perhaps the Shrinking Potion formula in this world was different, which is why it could work on fire dragons.)
"In the world of magic, anything is possible."
Hagrid chose to gloss over Malfoy's question.
As for the questions from other students:
"What does it look like? Is it a dragon too? Can it fly?"
Is it covered in fur or scales?
"Judging from the noise, it must be very large, like the Ukrainian Ironbelly."
Hagrid a mysterious smile.
"You can touch it, who wants to try it?"
In response, most of the students stepped back.
Even Harry, Krum, Phoebe, Cedric felt a vague sense of fear.
An unseen behemoth, truly awe-inspiring.
"Nobody here?" Hagrid asked. "That's interesting."
Harry raised his hand. "I'll go."
Even though this wasn't the friend he knew, he couldn't help but soften when he saw that face.
Draco and Roan grabbed his arms at the same time: "Don't go, it's too dangerous." "They are the descendants of fire dragons."
Harry turned to comfort him, "Don't worry, this is class."
Then he climbed over the fence of the enclosure.
"Well done, Harry!" Hagrid exclaimed, taking Harry's hand and guiding it towards the air. "Good—it's right here, follow my hand, come—"
Harry felt the breathing becoming more and more obvious, and Hagrid pushed his hand forward as if he had touched a hot water bottle.
It's warm and cozy, and very elastic and moist.
"What do you think it looks like?" Hagrid asked.
Harry felt around and said, "I touched its belly. It had no scales or fur, and its skin was smooth, just like Mooncalf."
"Miss Malfoy," Hagrid said, "Why don't you give it a try?"
"Let's give it a try," Draco scoffed.
Harry let go.
Draco stood where Harry had been standing, her fingers trembling as she reached out to touch him.
The timidity on her pretty face faded, replaced by confusion.
"What do you think it looks like?" Hagrid asked.
Draco looked at Harry, her voice trembling, "I was touching a belly too, it was very rough, covered in scales, like a fire dragon."
She was somewhat skeptical of her conclusion, and stood on tiptoe to reach upwards, "There are... there are wings."
("What's going on?" Ron was completely baffled.)
("Perhaps it can change shape like the Demiguise?" Hermione guessed.)
(Ginny, who had been keeping a close eye on Harry, Draco, Roan, "Roan definitely knows. She can even call them by name.")
Harry's eyes widened.
"Miss Weasley, you should try it too," Hagrid added.
Roan stepped forward and extended her hand as well.
His hand recoiled as if he had touched lightning. "This is..."
(Ron defended 'himself,' saying, "It's obvious she didn't know.")
"Tell me, what does it look like?" Hagrid's smile became completely undisguised.
Roan looked at him as if he'd seen a ghost. "Peppa's fur is so smooth, I could even feel the bones, they're very fine."
"What does it look like?" Harry asked.
It's obvious to everyone now that Hagrid is deliberately keeping everyone in suspense.
Hagrid laughed heartily, "The appearance of the Demiguise has always been a secret."
"They have always remained invisible, and we can only learn about their general appearance indirectly."
"And after they die, their bodies quickly turn into foam."
(Newt breathed a sigh of relief.)
"And it can also Transfiguration," Draco guessed.
"You could say that," Hagrid nodded and then shook his head, "But that's not accurate."
"It only has three forms. It can switch between the three forms."
"Harry and Miss Malfoy touched its first two forms, both of which were enormous."
"One has a long nose, wide ears, and no hair; the other has a winged dragon head covered in scales."
"The last form that Roan touched was very small, resembling an ape."
"So, elephants, dragons, and monkeys, I guess," Krum summarized simply.
"I can only say it's similar," Hagrid shook his head. "I won't go into the details, such as the color of the skin, scales, and fur."
"If you want to know, you can come in and touch him," Hagrid said. "Buck is very docile."
Inspired by Harry and his friends, all the students cautiously entered the enclosure and lined up where Roan had stood earlier.
"How amazing, I mean the Demiguise." After class, on his way to the greenhouse, Cedric exclaimed as he kept a close watch on his surroundings to prevent any sneak attacks from the older witches.
"Those three brothers are still alive, aren't they?" Krum didn't hear what Cedric said; his gaze was fixed on the Black Lake.
There was no one there anymore, only the underwear of some unlucky wizard floating on the lake.
Phoebe approached; she and Krum were currently pretending to be boyfriend and girlfriend. "No one will die. Male wizards have incredibly high fertility; if it were a woman, even a hundred against one wouldn't be a problem."
(Some of the witch-themed viewers began to imagine what it would be like if their own husbands did this.)
"It's just that they might fall behind in their studies and Squib for a long time."
("This," Ron was tempted, but against his will, he said, "Is too tragic.")
(Seamus rubs his hands together. "Yes, studies come first.")
(Dean forced a look of distress onto his face, "I really wish it was me who was suffering, not them.")
"By the way, there's something I have to mention." Phoebe glanced around and said in a low voice, "Hagrid doesn't seem to be liked by the witches. I don't feel the same way about him as I do about the other wizards."
"Perhaps this is Dumbledore's help in this world?" Harry subconsciously defended Hagrid out of trust. "Dumbledore trusts him the most. He even entrusted the Philosopher's Stone to him to escort to the school. I think this world is no exception."
(Voldemort suddenly felt a little awkward; he thought of Quirrell.)
(Quirrell once speculated that Hagrid might escort the Philosopher's Stone, and suggested they ambush Hagrid after he left Gringotts.)
(But based on his understanding of Hagrid: careless and impulsive, he denied and reprimanded Quirrell.)
(And he tormented Quirrell all night.)
"You can't say Hagrid is actually a witch, she's just bursting with male hormones and has a full beard."
("A witch?" Hagrid was instantly horrified; he couldn't imagine himself being a woman.)
("Male hormones?!" Fred and George took note of this unfamiliar term, and then they instantly came up with nearly a hundred prank ideas.)
Cedric put his hand on Harry's shoulder to comfort him, "That's probably what Phoebe meant."
"But it's also possible that the Demon Man taught him that, after all, the Demon Man is a good person, Hagrid is a good person too. As for Dumbledore's questionable."
"This may be the key to our mission."
Krum added, "Even if it isn't, that magic that hides your sexual attraction to witches is very useful to you and all of us."
"Phoebe Shendu been looking at me strangely lately."
All three placed their hopes of defeating Hagrid on Harry.
After all, Harry and Hagrid are good friends, and Hagrid in this world doesn't seem to be much different from Hagrid in their world.
Faced with his three friends' advice, Harry nodded. "Alright, I'll talk to him after Herbology. It's not that I suspect he's trying to get any information out of him; I just miss Hagrid."
(Hagrid, his eyes blurry with tears, collapsed into Madame Maxime's arms, "Harry ~")
With thoughts of 'betraying' their friends, Harry and his classmates walked up to the greenhouse.
Even though he was somewhat nonchalant, he couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart when Professor Sprout appeared.
Silver hair, healthy wheat-colored skin covered with alluring beads of sweat, a cute yet alluring Madoka, and a petite and exquisite body.
The dirt between her fingernails, like a robe made of tattered rags, could not conceal her charm.
("Is that really me?" Professor Sprout, who looked like an ordinary old lady next door, exclaimed again.)
(She had seen this version of herself before at the opening banquet, but at that time she was wearing a veil, and in front of Dumbledore, the White Witch, even the most beautiful women paled in comparison.)
If Draco hadn't angrily and softly bumped into Harry's arm, he probably wouldn't have woken up at all.
"Well, you've only been gone a little while and you're already like this." As she said this, Draco pinched the soft flesh on Harry's waist.
Roan was pushed by Harley and walked out of the crowd.
He said in a very awkward tone, "Be gentle, Malfoy, you're pinching Harry too hard."
Phoebe, Krum, Cedric, who had just been beside Harry, cast helpless glances at Harry before dispersing one by one.
Just when Harry thought Roan and Draco were about to fight, Professor Sprout stepped in.
"Before deciding who Mr. Potter belongs to, don't forget that this is a class."
"And it's not surprising that a male wizard is paired with multiple female wizards; you should get used to it."
(In the Great Hall, the wizards, led by Ron, stood up instantly, filled with excitement.)
