Surprise

At the library entrance, Kyle and Hermione stared at each other, the scene somewhat awkward.

"I'm sorry..." Hermione whispered.

Just as she slammed her hand on the table, Madam Pince returned after putting down her books.

Like most students who make noise in the library, both of them were kicked out.

"I don't really care," Kyle shrugged. "I wasn't planning on staying in the library all the time anyway. Now... I'm going to find Hagrid. What about you? Want to come along?"

"No." Hermione for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I'm going to review the Ancient Runes again and make up for all the time I wasted before."

"Okay," Kyle said, "But remember, don't misuse the Time-Turner again, or your condition will only get worse."

"Good..."

The two parted ways at the top of the stairs.

Kyle, having returned to the first floor, passed through the Entrance Hall and followed the path to Hagrid's cabin.

The cabin was quite lively today, with Harry and Ron also present, in addition to Kanna and the others.

Several people huddled together, excitedly discussing something.

When Kyle got closer, he noticed a nest made of hay on the table between them.

Inside, there was an animal that looked like a small lion, but its tail was hooked, making it look like a scorpion's tail.

"Manticore?" Kyle exclaimed in surprise.

"I knew it," Hagrid said happily. "A few days ago, I found a Manticore giving birth deep in the Forbidden Forest. I guess it must have recently come here from somewhere else."

After all, this kind of creature had never existed in the Forbidden Forest before.

Hagrid laughed heartily, even teasing the little guy lying in the hay nest, not caring even when his finger was bitten.

"Look how happy it is," Hagrid said, looking completely smitten.

For Hagrid, finding the Manticore in the Forbidden Forest was like stumbling upon a treasure; he was so excited he couldn't sleep for days, staying up all night deep within the Forbidden Forest.

The last time he was this excited was when he became the professor of the Care of Magical Creatures.

"So Hagrid, are you planning to bring it to class?" Kyle asked.

"Of course not..." Hagrid shook his head repeatedly. "The Manticore is a Level 5X Fantastic Beasts. Professor Dumbledore would never allow it to appear in front of the students, not even as a cub."

Kyle nodded.

Manticore is indeed not suitable for the classroom. Although it is still small and even if it bites, it will only draw some blood at most, the problem is that there is a larger one in the Forbidden Forest.

If someone doesn't know their own strength and makes it angry, it might let out a howl and unleash a powerful summoning spell, and that would be a real mess.

Especially those from Slytherin; they rarely pay attention to what Hagrid says. Half of the trouble that occurs in the Care of Magical Creatures is caused by them, and the other half is also related to them.

When faced with an enraged Manticore, even Hagrid wouldn't be able to protect too many people.

"I brought it here this time just to broaden your horizons..." Hagrid continued, "After all, this is a rare opportunity; you won't see a baby 5X Fantastic Beasts anywhere else."

Upon hearing this, Kyle raised an eyebrow.

That's not right. He not only saw them, but he also delivered babies.

The little Nundu in Newt's trunk all treated him with utmost respect, almost calling him "Uncle."

He also oversaw the hatching of a brood of Hungarian Horntail when he was in Romania.

He just didn't say it.

"Hagrid, can I touch it?" Ron said pleadingly. "Please, just once."

"No, Ron," Hagrid said sternly. "I already said, you can only stand there, even if you're close, but you absolutely cannot touch it. This is for your safety."

"Okay." Ron pursed his lips, feeling a pang of regret.

This is a 5X Fantastic Beasts; if he could touch it, he could brag about it for ages.

Ron had been in the limelight for several days because of Black's intrusion into the Gryffindor dormitories, receiving more attention Harry for the first time in his life.

He really liked this feeling.

However, people are now more interested in Professor Lupin's gossip, and no one wants to hear him recount his adventures.

"But Hagrid ..." Kanna asked doubtfully, "Didn't you say in your letter that you wanted us to help choose the Fantastic Beasts that needed to be shown in class?"

"Oh, that was just to surprise you. Actually, I've already chosen the Fantastic Beasts you'll be learning about in class."

Hagrid said with a smile, "The Fire Crab Swooping Evil are both chicks. If you'd like to see them, you can go to the cabin."

However, be careful to close the door once you're inside... the aura of the Manticore will frighten them.

No one moved... Everyone's eyes remained fixed on the little creature in the hay nest.

You can see the Fire Crab Swooping Evil anytime; there's no rush.

Just then, Kyle suddenly felt someone poking his shoulder. He turned around and saw it was Hagrid, who gestured for him to come over.

Although Kyle didn't know what had happened, he still followed him to the open space on the other side of the cabin.

"Is there something you need?" Kyle asked.

"Oh, is that so..." Hagrid said somewhat awkwardly, "I overheard someone from Slytherin a few days ago saying that you sell Dragon teeth, do you still have any?"

"Yes, I do." Kyle nodded; he had plenty of those kinds of things.

"Can you sell me some?" Hagrid whispered, handing Kyle a cloth bag. "Professor Dumbledore gave me an extra professor's salary; see how much you can get for it."

The bag was heavy, and it probably contained several hundred Galleon.

Hagrid doesn't need to spend money on food or lodging. At most, he'll go to the Three Broomsticks or the Hog's Head Inn for a few glasses of mead, and spend almost all his time here.

"This is simple... wait a moment." Kyle ran into Hagrid's Hut and closed the door.

When he came out again, he was carrying another bag.

"Each type of Dragon has two teeth, along with corresponding dragon scales."

Kyle handed these things, along with the cloth bag that had contained Galleon, to Hagrid.

"You've given me the wrong thing," Hagrid said. "These Galleon are for you."

"Don't joke around, Hagrid." Kyle waved his hand with a laugh and said, "I'm not taking your money."

"No!" Hagrid shook his head and insisted, "I've heard them say that you bought all these things from Romania. If you insist on not accepting them, then I don't want them."

With that, Hagrid gritted his teeth and handed the item back.
