Chapter 122 Tom and Jerry the Egg Stealer
"Why are you here?" Hagrid looked at the three people in surprise and shouted.
"We saw this cat and mouse carrying the water tank sneakily, so we wanted to see what they wanted to do." Harry explained.
"So that's it. I told you to come openly, why do you have to be sneaky."
"But Hagrid, we saw you sneaking around too." Hermione said.
"Uh~" Hagrid didn't know what to say for a while.
At this time Tom spoke, and Hagrid came back to his senses.
"Okay, you put the eggs here with me, I'll take good care of them for you."
That's right, the things Tom and Jerry were sneakily carrying were the three eggs in front of them that were bigger than ostrich eggs.
"What eggs are these?" Harry asked.
"These are thunderbird eggs. It seems that Tom and Jerry stole them from the thunderbird's nest in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid introduced.
"Thunderbird? I seem to have read its introduction. Thunderbird was first discovered in Arizona, USA. It has snow-white feathers, multiple wings that glow slightly, golden beak and eyes. When Thunderbird flies, the blood flow in its feathers can present cloud-like patterns. The most amazing thing is that its emotions can affect the weather. For example, when it is angry or excited, it will rain heavily around it." Hermione carefully recalled the knowledge in her mind.
"It is worthy of being the most Ravenclaw-like student in Gryffindor. What you said is right, but it is not comprehensive enough. When it creates sunlight, the warm light will shine on the earth through its stained glass-like wings. At the same time, Thunderbird can not directly create rainfall, but when it is flying, with the flapping of its wings, it can produce a lot of water vapor, which will form rain clouds and then turn into rain." Hagrid added.
"Then what level of magical animal is it?"
"XXXX level, because thunderbirds are close relatives of phoenixes, they are usually gentle. As long as they are not provoked, they usually will not take the initiative to attack humans. In addition, their special abilities are still very popular, but they are still very dangerous for you little wizards." Hagrid replied.
"So that's it, these are thunderbird eggs, so how to hatch them?"
"This is not your business. It's late. If you don't go back to bed quickly, you can't go back. The Fat Lady will visit you at night."
Hearing Hagrid's words, the three children reacted and hurriedly said goodbye to Hagrid and rushed to the castle.
"Huh~ I almost got caught, fortunately they didn't see this." Hagrid gently picked up a coiled snake from the water tank, but this snake had a pair of wings and a pair of legs, and a beak like a bird.
"Birds and snakes, I didn't expect you could even lure this here. But be careful recently. The magical animals in the Forbidden Forest are rioting. Take a break recently and don't provoke them." Hagrid said to Tom and Jerry.
Although Tom and Jerry nodded to show their understanding, based on Hagrid's understanding of them during this period, they knew that danger was danger, but they would not hesitate to commit the crime. Recently, the Forbidden Forest has been in chaos because of these two guys.
Coupled with the changes of the centaurs, the sphere of influence of the Forbidden Forest has undergone amazing changes, especially the Acromanthus, because before the centaurs lifted the curse, the Acromanthus was the magical animal that hurt them the most. For this reason, after the centaurs lifted the curse, the first thing they did was to find trouble with the Acromanthus.
Except for Aragog and some Acromanthus eggs, all other Acromanthus were cleaned up by the centaurs.
So the Forbidden Forest is relatively safe now, but because every time Tom and Jerry go in, there are children from other families, making the magical creatures inside become extremely irritable, and some of the more intelligent ones go directly to Hagrid, but Hagrid can't control Tom and Jerry, and finally they go directly to the Phoenix Fawkes.
Phoenix Fawkes went to find Dumbledore again, and finally Dumbledore found Li Qingyue and asked him to restrain himself a little and not be too rampant.
In this way, Tom and Jerry restrained themselves a little, from stealing more than a dozen eggs a day before to stealing only one egg every few days now, which is indeed a lot more restrained.
After leaving Hagrid's hut, Tom and Jerry ran towards the castle quickly, and happened to meet several professors who were returning to the room. When they saw Tom, they already knew that they were stealing eggs again.
When Tom and Jerry saw them, they stood there scratching their heads embarrassedly.
"Okay, go back and rest, but I still want to beg you to let go of the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. They really can't stand your tossing." Dumbledore said helplessly.
Tom and Jerry smiled awkwardly and left in a flash.
Several professors looked at their fleeing figures and didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Meanwhile, in the greenhouse, Jill was patiently taking care of the flowers and plants here.
"It's getting late, it's time to go back and rest." Li Qingyue leaned against the door of the greenhouse and whispered to Jill.
"I know, just wait until I finish watering the flowers here."
"Let me help you."
"No, three minutes is enough."
Just as Li Qingyue was fascinated by Jill's back, a voice sounded beside him: "Jill, haven't you gone back yet? And Qingyue, you are fascinated."
"Ahem, Professor Sprout, you are back."
"Professor Sprout, I just finished watering and was about to leave." Jill stood up and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"Don't work so hard."
"It's okay, Professor Sprout, I just really like them."
"Jill, if you are free tomorrow, can you accompany me to the Forbidden Forest? I need to pick some herbs to plant." Professor Sprout asked.
Jill's eyes lit up after hearing this and nodded hurriedly.
"Okay, come to the greenhouse to find me tomorrow. It happens to be the weekend tomorrow."
"I know, see you tomorrow, Professor Sprout."
Jill happily grabbed Li Qingyue's hand and left. Jill now doesn't look like the courageous police officer in the biochemical crisis at all. Instead, she looks more and more like the one she used to be.
"Can I go with you tomorrow?" Li Qingyue asked, hugging Jill's slender waist.
"Sure, take Tom and Jerry with you."
"They don't dare to go to the Forbidden Forest in broad daylight. If they really go in, they will probably be torn to pieces by the magical animals inside."
As soon as Li Qingyue finished speaking, they seemed to have thought of something and laughed.
