Chapter 197: Niffler

"Nifflers?"

Hagrid scratched his messy hair and looked confused.

"Are you sure everyone will like this kind of ordinary magical creature?"

"Of course!"

Hermione exclaimed excitedly.

"Nifflers is so cute. If you could bring a few Nifflers to class, the students would be very happy."

Cho nodded in agreement. For girls, these cute creatures would easily win their affection.

"What are Nifflers?"

Harry didn't know much about creatures, so he looked around to see if he was the only one who didn't know.

Even though Miss Know-It-All Hermione despised Harry's lack of knowledge, she still gave him an introduction.

"A Niffler is a burrowing creature that can easily find treasures. Newt Scamander has a Niffler, and they're very powerful."

Arthur and Hermione worked together, and he turned a stone cup into the shape of a Niffler. This made the young witch smile sweetly.

Harry looked at the transformed Niffler and nodded in agreement.

"Hagrid, let's use Niffler. It's definitely better than what you had before."

Harry suggested.

He was getting tired of the Blast-Ended Skrewts and Fire Crabs. During the last class, a fire crab had even burned one of his robes.

Upon hearing everyone say this, Hagrid made up his mind.

"I know there are a few Nifflers in the Forbidden Forest. I'll go find them."

"But what about the remaining classes? Nifflers can only cover a few lessons."

Arthur thought for a moment and transformed a few more cups.

"Puffskeins, Bowstruckle, Kneazles..."

One cute animal after another appeared, instantly capturing the girls' attention.

"Arthur, what about a Crumple-Horned Snorkack?"

Luna grabbed his sleeve, eagerly saying.

Arthur was worried, but with Luna's description, he transformed a Crumple-Horned Snorkack and handed it to the girl.

Luna was happy as she carefully held the Crumple-Horned Snorkack in her hands.

Hagrid carefully noted all these magical creatures.

Most of them could be found in the Forbidden Forest, except Puffskeins might be a bit troublesome.

Puffskeins usually appear in wizarding households, and the school's kitchen should have some.

Each girl hugged a cute little animal filled with love.

Arthur's transfiguration skills were already good enough to make them believe it was the real thing.

Seeing Hagrid take their advice, Arthur knew that these adorable animals would dominate the future Care of Magical Creatures class.

On the other side, Hagrid hesitated as he looked at Arthur. He felt a bit awkward asking for more help.

Arthur had already helped him a lot, and all he had done was find something for him in the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing Hagrid's difficulty, Arthur asked, "Is this about Buckbeak?"

"Yes,"

Hagrid's face turned red, and he hesitated.

"I know this puts you in a difficult position, but Arthur, you're the only one who can help me now."

"I've received a notice. At the end of April, the Ministry of Magic will send the Committee for the Disposal of Dangerous Creatures to deal with Buckbeak. Even Fudge himself will come."

The three-meter-tall man's eyes became slightly red when talking about this, showing how close Hagrid's relationship with Buckbeak was.

The others also looked with sympathy and instinctively looked at Arthur, their intentions clear without words.

Arthur shook his head in disbelief.

Did these people really see themselves as saviors?

If he got involved in this matter, he would be going against the order of the wizarding world.

Even his old friends wouldn't say anything, but he would owe them a great favor.

Moreover, Fudge had already taken the Buckbeak incident as his lifeline.

He needed this to keep people's attention away from Sirius and Bellatrix. If Arthur jumped in, Fudge would surely go all out against him.

However, he did have a few tricks up his sleeve.

"Hagrid, the decision of the Ministry of Magic cannot be changed. Fudge has made a big noise about it, and even Dumbledore won't undermine his authority, After all, he is the Minister of Magic."

Hearing this, Hagrid lowered his head in sadness.

"Don't worry, I haven't finished yet,"

Arthur took a sip of juice before continuing.

"I'm just saying we can't change the Ministry's decision, but that doesn't mean we can't save Buckbeak."

The smartest of them, Hermione, was the first to get the idea.

"You mean we can make changes after the verdict?"

Hagrid also realized it. If they couldn't openly fight the Ministry of Magic, why not wait until after the verdict and secretly move Buckbeak away?

However, Arthur rejected Hagrid's plan immediately.

"That's too obvious. Anyone with eyes will see that it was you. If Buckbeak can't be saved, you will involve yourself even more, and things will get worse."

With his head in his hands, Hagrid realized the problem with his plan. It wouldn't work like that.

Was Buckbeak really beyond saving?

"How about I'll use Transfiguration to create a fake of Buckbeak? You can let the Ministry carry out the execution, but you must get the body back. Otherwise, we will be exposed."

Arthur presented his plan, and everyone was satisfied with the idea, especially Hagrid. He was so excited that he wanted to hug Arthur, but Arthur calmly dodged him.

"Thank you, Arthur. I really don't know how to repay you!"

Hagrid's gratitude was overwhelming.

Hagrid had seen the Transfiguration that Arthur performed, and if he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have thought those were real magical creatures.

Arthur accepted Hagrid's gratitude and gave him a list of materials to gather. He still owed many orders to Alchemical Beings from outside.

One reason was because he was lazy and hardly made one or two in a month, but also because he lacked materials.

Many of the items were hard to find outside. However, the Forbidden Forest was a treasure trove of materials that could satisfy Arthur's needs.

After looking at the content list, Hagrid was confident and promised to have the materials for Arthur in the next week.

After a few minutes of conversation, they all left Hagrid's house.

Everyone except Arthur had a lot of homework and essays to complete.

It was not easy for them to spend a whole afternoon here.
