Penelope nodded, "No problem, Professor, I'll go take care of it now." With that, she sat back in the small boat and zipped away.
"These Little Wizards are quite a handful," Kayson sighed, leaning back in his chair, and then thought to send a letter to Professor Flitwick.
He didn't have experience resolving conflicts between Little Witches, unlike how easily he handled disputes involving Neville and Draco, so he could only trust Professor Flitwick, who had extensive teaching experience.
Ding-dong.....
The crystal ball on the desk glowed, and Kayson casually picked up a large, thick book and threw it at it.
Soon, Hagrid appeared before Kayson, looking like a strong man in a baby stroller.
"Oh..... Perhaps I should get you an extra-large boat."
Hagrid waved his hand, "No need, no need. When it comes to body flexibility, if I say I'm number one at Hogwarts, no one would dare say they're number two."
Kayson looked at Hagrid, who was sweating profusely from rowing the boat, and nodded seriously, "Hmm, you're amazing."
"Of course! Kayson, I came to you this time because I have something I want to ask of you," Hagrid said, a bit awkwardly.
"Just say it if you have something to say. Sit down, I'll pour you a drink." Kayson said, taking out two wine glasses and pouring two glasses of strong liquor, handing one to Hagrid.
"Thanks. You might feel like scolding me after hearing this, but honestly, I still have to say it."
"... Well, are you going to say it?"
"Cough, cough. First, take a look at my lesson plan for my first class. I've prepared it for a long time. Professor McGonagall even pushed my class back to give me more time to prepare, but she clearly doesn't think highly of my lesson plan," Hagrid said, handing over the lesson plan.
Kayson took it and looked it over.
"[Lead students to recognize the Hippogriff...]"
Kayson looked at the lesson plan and also at the photo on it, "Who came up with this name? Did he graduate from elementary school?"
"That... I don't know," Hagrid said, a bit embarrassed.
"Alright, let me see your lesson. Why doesn't Professor McGonagall agree?"
"She said the Hippogriff is a 3X-rated magical creature and can be dangerous," Hagrid explained.
Kayson looked up at the sky. 3X... What was that?
He helplessly reached for the bookshelf behind him, and a book on magical creatures appeared in his hand.
"Hmm... The book says this thing can easily disembowel humans... This thing... Professor McGonagall is right," Kayson said, nodding in agreement.
"You don't think it's a good idea either?" Hagrid said, a bit dejectedly.
"Why do you insist on teaching them about this? Aren't there any safer magical creatures?"
"Because it's so cute!"
Kayson looked at the photo in the lesson plan, unable to see anything related to cuteness.
"Emmm... I don't recommend you teach this, at least not to the third-year Little Wizards."
Hagrid's eyes seemed to lose their sparkle. "Then what should I do?"
"Can't you just change the animal?"
Hagrid shook his head.
"Then just slightly reduce the scope of the lesson. You want to introduce, understand, and interact with the Little Wizards... Just introduce and understand it, but don't interact. Let the Little Wizards observe from a distance."
Kayson rubbed his temples, a bit helpless. He knew Hagrid's little thoughts too well right now. The current Hagrid was like a child who had never received attention before, suddenly becoming a big star.
Now, Hagrid, this big star, wanted to show all the cool things he knew to his audience, which were the Little Wizards.
It was like a child who learned a swear word somewhere and then eagerly went to his friends to show off that he could say it.
Even if he didn't know what the swear word meant, just like the current Hagrid, he didn't know what kind of destructive power a 3X-rated magical creature had on Little Wizards.
The desire to show off was unstoppable, but it could still be slightly restrained. For example, by letting Hagrid still show off to the Little Wizards that he had a Hippogriff, this cool magical creature national treasure.
But interaction should be avoided.
"Let them observe from a distance... Will they still learn anything that way?" Hagrid scratched his head and said.
"Care of Magical Creatures is also about teaching Little Wizards to protect themselves. Let them know this animal is called a Hippogriff, and if they encounter one in the wild, it can kill them easily, so it's best to stay far away. That's also knowledge," Kayson advised.
"Alright... I originally wanted to pack my first lesson full... It's a shame about all those lesson plans I wrote..." Hagrid said dejectedly.
"Uh-huh, are you nervous?" Kayson then asked.
"...Uh... Nervous." Hagrid awkwardly squirmed, nodding honestly.
"...How about I accompany you?"
"You can?!" Hagrid's eyes suddenly lit up.
"Of course I can, I don't have anything else to do anyway. When does your first class start?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"Alright, I'll come to your place tomorrow morning."
Hagrid quickly agreed, "I'll have the wine ready!"
After seeing Hagrid off, Kayson looked at the wine on the coffee table... It was already open... Might as well drink it.
The next day... morning...
After breakfast, Kayson arrived early outside Hagrid's small house. He first petted Fang, who was wandering in the yard. He had always wanted to set up Fang and Bruce, but Bruce seemed very resistant.
Every time he heard anything about Fang, Bruce would quickly hide under the bed.
Just as Kayson was petting the dog, Hagrid walked over from a distance, leading a magical creature that looked extremely formidable.
"You're here so early! There are still some rock cakes I just baked in the oven in the house, go try some," Hagrid called out.
Kayson thought about it and decided to eat a couple. rock cakes with milk, he hadn't had them in a long time.
"You go eat, I'll set this place up. It needs to look more like a classroom and less like a vegetable patch!" Hagrid's voice was still calling from outside.
"Got it!" Kayson replied.
