Hidebehind
Ron has always been a very emotional person, and even Harry, who has been with him for a long time and has been inseparable from him, cannot guarantee that he can soothe his emotions completely.
However, Ginny knew her brother very well, just as she knew that Ron had a picture of Aunt Muriel under his pillow.
"Ilvermorny School of Witchcraft and Wizardry was founded by the descendants of Slytherin, one of the Founders of our school." Ginny's words were simple, but they hit Ron's sweet spot perfectly.
"Merlin's chest hair! How could I not have thought of that? By seniority, Moon City is just a grandson of Hogwarts!" Ron regained his composure under Harry's bewildered gaze, while Ginny covered her mouth and chuckled beside him.
"Harry, what's that?"
"That monster seems to be able to see us." Ron nudged Harry as they walked.
Harry looked in the direction Ron indicated; it looked like a shop similar to the Magical Menagerie in Diagon Alley.
The shop was empty; the owner and employees had apparently gone off for a stroll somewhere.
In the shop window, a very tall animal with silver-white fur was staring at them menacingly. The animal looked so strange that it was impossible to find a creature similar to it in the Muggle world.
However, if we had to say, the only one that comes close is a smaller bear.
"It can really see us!" Ginny gave it the middle finger, and the creature slammed its hand on the shop window.
"That's a Hidebehind, a powerful, almost unkillable, dangerous Magical Creatures. If it weren't for its relatively weak attack power, I even suspect that this would make it impossible for any wizard in the magical world to travel alone anymore." Harry was quite surprised and slowly maneuvered his skateboard to a stop not far from the shop.
"Really? It's that dangerous?"
"Also, what is his relationship with the Demiguise?"
"They all have silvery-white fur." Ron was skeptical.
It wasn't that he didn't believe Harry, but rather that after telling the lie about Ravenclaw having Phoenix and Demiguise in his first year, he had privately researched Care of Magical Creatures.
He had never heard of the name "Hidden Beast" before.
This kind of biology is definitely not in the book, or there are no specific pictures of it.
He can vouch for it with his knowledge of Fantastic Beasts.
He knew that the Demiguise was a Care of Magical Creatures from the Far East, herbivorous, gentle, capable of invisibility, resembling an ape-man, and covered in long, silvery-white fur.
He even knew a secret about the Demiguise —the blue-eyed Demiguise had a premonition of danger.
"It's true."
"If you've carefully read through the instructions Ryan gave you."
"You'll find its name very familiar."
"In the early 1620s, a cloaked monster of extraordinary strength and size captured a young Pukch (whom Isot later called William) but was driven away by Isot Thayer. Later, the same cloaked monster killed Chawick and Webber Boot's parents, but was eventually defeated by Isot Thayer and William Pukch."
"It's about defeating, not killing."
"Isolt Sayre is a powerful witch, and Pukwudgie, as a subspecies of Goblin, also possesses powerful magic, but even so, they could only defeat it, not kill it," Harry remarked.
"So what abilities does it have?" Ron asked immediately afterward.
He cautiously glanced at the Hidebehind in the shop window, feeling apprehensive at the thought of how he had just been about to imitate Ginny, or even go further and make faces at it.
"The Hidebehind is a nocturnal monster that lives in the deep forest and feeds on humanoid creatures. It can change its shape so that it can hide behind almost anything and remain perfectly concealed when encountering predators or prey."
"Oh, and it can also become invisible, just like the Demiguise," Harry said.
"That's it?" Ron looked incredulous.
"Yes, that's it."
"Its ability to change its shape may sound simple at first glance, but in actual combat, it means that it can dodge any spell you cast by changing its shape."
"Moreover, just like its name suggests, it usually attacks you suddenly from outside your field of vision."
"It is far more adept at concealing its form than the Demiguise, which is why Invisibility Cloak are made from the fur of the Demiguise, not the Hidebehind —it's too dangerous."
"No wonder it could see us—it's an expert at hiding." Harry said, tapping on the shop window.
The Hidebehind in the shop window bared its teeth, giving Ron behind Harry quite a fright.
"What the hell is this guy's connection to the Demiguise?!" Ron couldn't help but swear in fright.
"It and the Demiguise?"
"Then let me tell you a story."
"It all has to do with Phineas Fletcher, a scoundrel who traded in contraband and animals. He was planning to smuggle a Demiguise to the New World to make Invisibility Cloak. But the Demiguise escaped on the ship and mated with a stowaway Ghoul. Their offspring escaped into the forests of Massachusetts after the ship docked and are still seen in large numbers in the area today." Harry waved his hand.
"Then? Ghoul and Demiguise aren't dangerous creatures, are they? They're all very docile."
"That Hidebehind?" Ron couldn't help but ask.
There was a Ghoul who knew a lot about Ghoul and Demiguise.
He even dared to call himself an expert on them.
"Phineas Fletcher is a bastard who enjoys cruelly treating the animals under his control."
"The original Hidebehind's parents— Ghoul and Demiguise —were both abused by Fletcher, so the Hidebehind must have inherited its parents' hatred for wizards," Harry sighed.
"Harry, where did you see this?" Ron asked, puzzled.
"The instruction manual, it's in Ryan's instruction manual."
"You should know that the founding of the Ilvermony Magic School, and the encounter between Isolde, her husband, Pukch William, their adopted son Chawick, and Butt, were all inseparable from the Hidden Monster."
"You should have known that when I told the first story," Harry said, pursing his lips.
The instruction manual was in their minds, but Ron knew nothing about it.
"Hehe, there was just too much content." Ron scratched the back of his head sheepishly.
"However, it would be great if Ryan could just shoot all the knowledge we have from grades one to seven into our brains like this instruction manual."
"That means I don't need to read books anymore."
"I still have time to finish my masterpiece while I'm still in school."
"Maybe before I graduate, I'll become a writer as great as Skywalker." Ron's eyes shone with hope.
"Shut up, Ron."
"We still need to go to the library!" Ginny, who couldn't get a word in edgewise and felt like a third wheel, couldn't help but say.
