Forbidden Forest On the edge, there is a pasture here to house some animals.
Although it only has a few cows now, when Triwizard Tournament arrives, the Beauxbatons school carriage will be placed near this pasture. Before First Task starts, the fire dragon is also placed near this pasture. After the trap door is no longer necessary to guard, Fluffy will also be sent here.
So this place is huge, and Hagrid waiting here is very eye-catching.
"Here--Sean."
Hagrid shouted loudly.
Sean walked over quickly and was hugged by Hagrid.
"You must be looking forward to it. The first thing I thought of was for you to get to know those lovely guys.
They only come to my place to take a rest occasionally... but I guess they will come here recently, so you have to follow me well."
Hagrid was wearing that Moleskin Overcoat, and the big hunting dog Fang was standing at his feet, as if he couldn't wait to start.
The two slowly stepped into Forbidden Forest.
Forbidden Forest is located on the west side of the Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry grounds. As its name suggests, Hogwarts students are generally not allowed into Forbidden Forest.
Students are only allowed to enter Forbidden Forest under special circumstances such as being punished for violating school rules or being placed in solitary confinement or attending Care of Magical Creatures.
Now, Sean is conscientiously violating school rules.
In Forbidden Forest, the trees are dense and block the sunlight, making it very dark even during the day.
Sean and Hagrid passed by a stream where a large number of yew trees, oak trees and Knotgrass grew.
Along the way Sean was thinking about what Fantastic Beasts Hagrid said, Forbidden Forest had too many Fantastic Beasts - the community of Unicorn, Werewolf, Centaur, Aragog and its family all live here.
Hagrid also said that they would only rest here for a while, so what could it be?
Arriving at a place where there were chains, Hagrid sighed "Oh!"
"It seems they haven't come, so it will be tomorrow. We will meet at the same place tomorrow."
Hagrid was embarrassed and wanted to pat Sean on the shoulder, but Sean silently dodged away.
Then the two of them just stared at each other.
"Sorry."
Hagrid rubbed his hands.
Sean vaguely remembers that Fang was unconsciously photographed by Hagrid last time and almost stuck out his tongue.
"Can you tell me what it is?"
Sean asked.
"Oh, of course, didn't I tell you? It's Hippogriff."
Hagrid stretched out his hand wrapped in mole skin and gestured,
"They have the body, hind legs and tail of a horse, but their front legs, wings and head are like those of an eagle. Their beautiful beaks are the color of steel, and their big bright eyes are orange.
The eagle claws on the front legs, ha! They are half a foot long... If you get a copy of <Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them>, you will be surprised by them!"
Sean knows that Hagrid domesticated Hippogriff in Forbidden Forest, but that was in the third grade.
But I didn't expect that Hagrid was already working hard when he was in first grade?
Although different from what Sean thought, Hagrid is not going to introduce the fire dragon, but Hippogriff should not be underestimated either.
The second copy of Fantastic Beast biscuits was found, Sean thought, although Hippogriff is dangerous, it is undoubtedly loyal after being tamed.
Sean has somewhat forgotten the taming method, but Hagrid will obviously tell him.
"I plan to keep a few this year... but now, it's time for you to leave. If Professor McGonagall discovers us--"
Hagrid was muttering as he and Sean walked towards the outside of Forbidden Forest. The sound of horses suddenly came from the distance.
"Hurry up, Sean, walk faster, I forgot to feed Thestral--"
Hagrid seemed a little panicked.
There is no danger for him in Forbidden Forest alone, and nothing will happen to him even if he encounters an emergency. But now he has to appease the hungry Thestral and also send Sean out of Forbidden Forest, so he is a little panicked for a while.
"Thestral, I read about it in <Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them>, I can go with you, Hagrid."
To an unexpected surprise, Sean thought that Thestral was the creature Hogwarts used as a means of transportation, and they were also a kind of Fantastic Beasts.
The third copy of Fantastic Beast biscuits has also been found...
Six copies of [Expert] level Fantastic Beast biscuits and Sean will unlock the new Title.
"You coming with me? Oh, what a great idea! But I'm afraid you can't see them, and then you'll be standing with Fang."
Hagrid hesitated for two seconds, then praised.
The two walked for about ten minutes and came to a place with dense woods and as dark as dusk. There was not a trace of snow on the ground.
Hagrid whistled, and Sean saw it - a huge, reptilian, winged horse.
I saw it fully unfolding its tough black wings like a pterodactyl, and suddenly flew out from the trees, like a strange giant bird. It circled in a large circle, and suddenly landed in front of Hagrid.
When it was eating beef, Hagrid was still comforting Sean:
"Don't be afraid, Thestral is a magical creature. If you see raw meat suddenly disappearing, it means it has entered its belly. Just think of it as invisible."
Sean watched quietly until Hagrid noticed something was wrong. He moved Thestral's head to the left, and Sean's eyes shifted slightly; he moved to the right, and Sean was still looking at those empty eyes.
"You... saw it?"
Hagrid asked in disbelief.
Sean nodded.
Hagrid was at a loss and asked after a while:
"Only those who have seen death can see Thestral. Whose death did you see?"
This question made Sean a little unsure of how to answer it. He had seen more than a little death.
"A friend, he died Silencio, and no one cared about him. There are some people, no one cared about him.
There is no tombstone, no funeral. Even the name on the registration form is wrong... Can I help feed Thestral?"
Sean answered a little, then took the raw meat while Hagrid was dazed, and went to feed Thestral.
Thestral is a kind of Fantastic Beasts that becomes very docile after being tamed. If you can ignore its appearance, it is actually very easy to get along with.

[Thestral Wuuwuu: Slightly close (10/300)]
Wuuwuu?
Thestral in Forbidden Forest initially had only one male horse and five mares. Wuuwuu was the first horse born in this forest - and the favorite of Hagrid.
No wonder it was the first to eat beef...
Wuuwuu rubbed Sean's hand, and Sean asked:
"Hagrid, can I help feed it in the future?"
