After the hatchet door no longer needs guarding, Fluffy will be sent here as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So it’s enormous, making Hagrid, waiting here, stand out clearly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Here—En.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid called out loudly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En strode over and was given a huge hug by Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You must be thrilled—I thought of you first the moment I decided to introduce you to those lovely creatures.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They only come by here occasionally to rest… but I reckon they’ll be showing up soon—you’d better stick close to me.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid wore his mole-skin coat, with Fang at his feet, seemingly eager to set off.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The two slowly stepped into the Forbidden Forest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forbidden Forest lies on the western edge of Hogwarts School grounds. As its name suggests, Hogwarts students are normally forbidden from entering.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Students are permitted inside only under special circumstances—such as being punished with detention for breaking school rules or attending Care of Magical Creatures lessons.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now, En was faithfully breaking school rules.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Inside the forest, dense trees blocked the sunlight, making it dark even during the day.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En and Hagrid passed a stream where yew trees, oaks, and two-ear grass grew abundantly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Throughout the walk, En pondered what magical creature Hagrid meant to show him—the Forbidden Forest housed too many: unicorns, werewolves, centaur herds, Aragog and his family, all lived here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid said they’d only stop by briefly—so what could they be?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At a spot where chains lay scattered, Hagrid sighed:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Looks like they haven’t come yet—then it’ll be tomorrow. We’ll meet here again tomorrow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid, feeling awkward, reached to pat En’s shoulder; En silently stepped aside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then the two stood facing each other.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sorry.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid rubbed his hands.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En vaguely remembered how Fang had nearly spat out its tongue the last time Hagrid had absentmindedly patted it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can you tell me what they are?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Oh, of course—I never told you? They’re hippogriffs.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid extended his hand, wrapped in mole-skin, and gestured:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“They have the body, hind legs, and tail of a horse, but their forelegs, wings, and heads resemble eagles. Their beautiful beaks are steel-colored, and their bright, large eyes are orange-yellow.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Their eagle claws—ha! They’re half a foot long… if you pick up a book called ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them,’ you’ll be stunned by them!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En knew Hagrid kept hippogriffs in the Forbidden Forest—but that was during his third year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t expected Hagrid had been working on them since first year?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though not the dragon En had imagined, the hippogriff was no less formidable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The second magical creature biscuit was accounted for, En thought—the hippogriff, though dangerous, was unquestionably loyal once tamed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En had nearly forgotten the taming method, but Hagrid would surely tell him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“I plan to keep a few this year… but right now, you should leave. If Professor McGonagall catches us—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid muttered as he walked with En toward the forest’s edge; suddenly, the sound of horses came from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hurry, En, move faster—I forgot to feed the Thestrals—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid looked flustered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He himself faced no danger alone in the Forbidden Forest—even if something unexpected happened, nothing serious would occur. But now, he had to calm hungry Thestrals while escorting En out of the forest, and he was momentarily panicked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Thestrals—I read about them in ‘Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them.’ I can come with you, Hagrid.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A pleasant surprise, En thought—the Thestrals were the magical creatures used by Hogwarts for transport, and they too were magical beasts.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The third magical creature biscuit was now secured…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Six 【Expert】-level magical creature biscuits would unlock a new title for En.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re coming with me? Oh, that’s a brilliant idea! But you probably won’t see them—you’ll have to stand with Fang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid hesitated for two seconds, then praised him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After walking about ten minutes, they reached a densely wooded area, dark as twilight, with not a speck of snow on the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid whistled, and En saw it—a massive, reptilian, winged horse.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It unfurled its tough black wings like a pterodactyl, suddenly bursting from the underbrush like a strange giant bird. It circled once, then plunged straight down before Hagrid.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As it ate the raw beef, Hagrid soothed En:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t be afraid—the Thestrals are magical creatures. If you see raw meat vanish suddenly, it’s gone into their stomachs. Just pretend they’re invisible.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En watched silently until Hagrid noticed something odd—he moved the Thestral’s head left, and En’s gaze shifted slightly; he moved it right, and En still stared at those hollow eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… saw it?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid asked, incredulous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En nodded.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hagrid was at a loss, then asked after a pause:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Only those who have witnessed death can see Thestrals. Whose death did you see?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The question left En unsure how to answer—he had seen far more than a few deaths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“A friend—he died quietly, and no one cared. Others, even less so.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No gravestones, no funerals. Even their names were misspelled on the registry… Can I help feed the Thestrals?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>En gave a partial answer, then, while Hagrid was stunned, took the raw meat and went to feed the Thestral.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thestrals are magical creatures that become very gentle once tamed; if you ignore their appearance, they’re quite easy to get along with.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You gained the Thestral (Wu Wu)’s favor at a skilled level—Proficiency +10】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【You gained the Thestral (Wu Wu)’s favor at a skilled level—Proficiency +10】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>【Thestral Wu Wu: Slightly Favored (10\u002F300)】\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wu?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Forbidden Forest originally had only one stallion and five mares. Wu Wu was the first born in this grove—and Hagrid’s favorite.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>No wonder it got the beef first…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wu Wu nuzzled En’s hand; En asked:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Hagrid, can I help feed it in the future?”\u003C\u002Fp>",992,"2026-06-19T10:00:40.768Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","4b45b1cafdaa0d86c250b2b122c5820f80d5b964c5e495b0656b13435fba7e65","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-197","hogwarts-learning-panel-chapter-195",526,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fhogwarts-learning-panel-cover.jpg"]
