Chapter 97: Hagrid’s Joy

Hagrid saw Lockhart disappear. Although there was a bit of panic and confusion, a look of anticipation soon appeared on his face. Although he didn't know what kind of spell Lockhart had cast, it must have something to do with the Golden Snidget. Who knows, Lockhart might appear in front of him with the Golden Snidget after a while.

After thinking for a while, Hagrid glanced at the green velvet grass not far away, walked forward, and started picking some fresh velvet grass. He had already begun to think about how to feed the Golden Snidgets. This was something he had been looking forward to. Since his time as a Groundskeeper of the Forbidden Forest, he had made himself a long list of magical creatures. He was ready to become good friends with every magical creature on the list. It looked like he could cross one more name off the list this time.

Well, Lockhart's reputation as an explorer before, plus the recent praise from Harry and Ron, and the most important thing—the magical spell Lockhart cast just now—gave Hagrid a lot of confidence.

After a while, Hagrid had already picked a basket full of fresh green velvet grass. As a magical creature expert, a ranger of the Forbidden Forest, and a man who aspires to be a friend to all magical creatures, naturally, there would be no shortage of tools for feeding magical animals in his hands. Afterwards, Hagrid held a basket of green velvet grass and found a place to sit quietly, looking forward to watching the spot where Lockhart disappeared.

After waiting for a while, suddenly, Hagrid was surprised to find sparks beginning to appear at the place where Lockhart had disappeared, and then a sparking portal appeared. Lockhart took a step forward, and sitting on his shoulders was the Golden Snidget.

"Lockhart!" The scene before him made Hagrid exclaim in a low voice. However, the appearance of the Golden Snidget immediately diverted his curiosity about Lockhart's magic. He quickly walked up to him and whispered, "Lockhart, can you let me see this little cutie?"

"Of course," Lockhart smiled and nodded. "Thanks for your help along the way. For you." With that said, Lockhart picked up the Golden Snidget on his shoulder and handed it to Hagrid in front of him. At the same time, he introduced, "Hagrid, from now on it will be called Sunny."

Hagrid carefully picked up the bird, nodded, and said very softly to Sunny in front of him, "Sunny, I am Hagrid. I just picked some green velvet grass here. Do you want to have a taste?" As he spoke, Hagrid quickly picked up the fresh and tender green velvet grass he had just picked and placed it in front of Sunny.

"Chirp Chirp," Sunny, the Golden Snidget, looked up at Hagrid, patted Hagrid's hands with its wings, and then lowered its head to eat. Hagrid was also delighted by Sunny's cute expression just now. They immediately started chatting quietly. "Sunny, I told you that I have it over there." "Chirp Chirp."

Lockhart watched with an amused expression as Hagrid completely forgot about his existence. But he didn't say much; he just watched the scene quietly. Compared with himself, Hagrid loved magical animals from the bottom of his heart. And although he also liked Sunny, the most important thing was to use its power to practice Spatial Magic. At the same time, he also wanted to further reduce the magic consumption of Kamar Taj Magic like portals and Mirror Dimensions. He knew that the Golden Snidget itself had spatial ability.

In other words, each magical creature has its own special ability, and some can increase the owner's magical ability to a certain extent. Like a unicorn, with its amazing healing ability, there is no doubt that it would be more convenient to practice healing spells. The same is true for the Golden Snidget in terms of space.

In the previous Mirror Dimension, Lockhart had signed a very fair magic contract with the Golden Snidget, Sunny. It has to be said that the Golden Snidget's intuition is very sensitive. It can clearly distinguish between good intentions and bad intentions. So from the beginning, Lockhart had no intention of signing a unilateral mandatory contract like a slave or pet animal contract. He had not forgotten the act of the unicorn not long ago. If he had done that, he would likely have ended up stealing the chicken and losing the rice, which would have aroused Sunny's complete disgust. This would have disrupted all of Lockhart's plans.

He is not too short of money now. What he lacks most and most urgently is magic practice. Otherwise, he would not have gone to the Forbidden Forest and chatted with Hagrid about the green velvet grass and the Golden Snidget when he had nothing to do. Therefore, the contract signed by Lockhart and Sunny was very sincere. According to the contract, Sunny only needs to spend a certain amount of time with Lockhart every day to help him practice magic spells. Then it can do whatever it wants during the rest of the time, and even return to the Forbidden Forest. Lockhart will ensure its safety, food, and other aspects.

Sunny felt very satisfied with this kind of contract. Its intuition told it that the other party was not cheating and there were many benefits. Coupled with the other party's pleasant smell and lack of any malice, plus its slight fear of the unfamiliar environment around it, it naturally chose to sign it.

Lockhart was naturally very satisfied. He had gotten everything he wanted, so what else could he be dissatisfied with? Although according to the contract, he did not have complete control over Sunny, and the two were in an equal relationship. It can even be said to be a transaction. But he doesn't need these. Although he likes pets, his desire to have one is not strong.

On the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's hut.

In the open space in front of the hut, a huge circular portal with sparks quietly emerged. Soon, Lockhart was the first to walk out of the portal, and sitting on his shoulders was Sunny, the Golden Snidget. Immediately afterwards, Hagrid was seen walking out of the portal curiously.

"Lockhart, is this Apparition?" Hagrid asked curiously as he turned around and looked at the huge portal in front of him. "Why is it different from what I saw before?" Originally, he wanted to return to his cabin along the same route, but Lockhart asked him to wait. He then was surprised to see Lockhart open a portal about the same size as him. Opposite the portal was his wooden house. This was very different from what he knew about Apparition.

In response, Lockhart shook his head and said, "This is another teleportation spell. Although the effect is similar to Apparition, it is safer and the experience is better." Having said this, a smile appeared on Lockhart's lips: "At least there will be no more discomfort."
