Chapter 139 Ace Air Combat
With the addition of the Black Lake as a new place to visit, Fish has spent less time going to the Forbidden Forest recently. Even when he is free during the day, Fish will jump into the lake and swim for a lap.
And Professor McGonagall has no objection to this, because as the weather gets hotter, students will occasionally go for a swim or something. The reason why he stopped Fei Xu from going to the lake before was more because he was not friendly with animals. a precise understanding.
With the creatures in the Forbidden Forest as examples and Fish having learned the Head Soaking Charm, Professor McGonagall was still very confident about Fish's safety in the Black Lake.
As an old professor who has been working at Hogwarts for decades, she knew that the two main forces in the lake, the giant squid and the mermaid, both had friendly relations with Hogwarts.
As for the legend circulated among students that someone was once dragged into the lake and eaten by a giant squid, it is just like the opening ceremony. It is used to deceive the freshmen. No senior students will believe it.
…
Under the patient guidance of the mermaids, Fish finally succeeded in catching the small fish.
However, the raw fish, which was full of earthy smell, didn't taste good. After Fish tasted two, he basically let go of any small fish he caught. Occasionally, he would bring some back to Filch and ask him to help. Made into small dried fish.
The only thing that made Fish unhappy was that it was a bit difficult to mark the territory at the bottom of the lake. The smell could not be retained, and the claw marks alone were not easy to detect in the dim environment of the water.
So after spending some time touring the Black Lake, Feishi's interest in going into the water was greatly reduced, and he changed his main activity location at night to the Forbidden Forest.
However, as the date of the final exam gets closer and closer, the professors assign more and more homework. Even if Fisch's tutoring group does not interfere with it, he spends more and more time writing homework. Correspondingly, , Fish has less and less time to play.
but!
Nothing can stop a kitten from playing!
No matter how tight the time is, the activities of sneaking out of the castle every night are still indispensable!
"Buckbeak! I came to play with you, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)
A little tabby cat jumped down from the tree, turned into a little boy with cat ears and a cat tail in mid-air, and landed on the back of a gray hippogriff.
"唳——!"
Buckbeak let out a long hiss that was a mixture of an eagle's cry and a horse's cry. Then he turned his big eagle-like head and gently tapped Fish's little head with his hard beak.
"It's obvious that your alertness is too low, meow."
Fish sat on Buckbeak's back, nudging his huge beak happily.
"They won't be frightened if they look like Wu Wu."
"唳——!"
The hippogriff's neighing sound suddenly filled the air.
As carnivorous flying creatures that also live in the Forbidden Forest, the relationship between Hippogriffs and Pegasus has never been very good. Even if they have some friendship because of Feixu, they still often have problems with each other. Want to compete for superiority.
So when the hippogriffs heard Feish praising the Thestrals and belittling them, they immediately quit and protested one after another.
"But you are just not as good as Wuwu and the others," Fei Xu replied very straightforwardly: "Whether it is reaction, speed or strength, Wuwu and the others are stronger than you."
Although the Ministry of Magic's criteria for judging magical creatures are not entirely based on strength, the Thestrals rated XXXX are indeed a little stronger than the Hippogriffs rated XXX.
However, this truth is the most heartbreaking, especially since the hippogriff is a very proud creature.
“Bah!!!”
Buckbeak flapped its wings and jumped wildly on the spot. Fish, who was sitting on it, was unprepared and was thrown off.
After adjusting his body slightly in mid-air, Fish landed firmly on the ground. Before he could complain, Buckbeak's big mouth pecked him up.
"Meow!"∑(●ΦДΦ●)
With a small jump back to avoid Buckbeak's attack, Fish was not angry, but excitedly switched to the clouded leopard form, and then rushed towards Buckbeak, fighting with him.
"Ouch——!" (=`=)
Although Buckbeak wouldn't be Wuwu's opponent in a real fight, if it was just a normal fight, it would be more difficult to deal with than Wuwu, because the Hippogriff has a pair of huge eagle claws, and when fighting It is very deterrent and lethal at the time.
The Yeqi was able to barely hold them down because of its superiority in strength and speed.
As usual, when Feishi was fighting against Yeqi, other Forbidden Forest creatures would come to watch whenever they had free time. After a while, the forest was occupied by all kinds of magical creatures.
Among them, the Yeqi group headed by Wuwu is naturally indispensable.
"唳——!"
The hippogriffs, who were already angry, immediately surrounded Wu Wu and the others, each of them spread their wings, their huge talons paved the ground anxiously, and screamed sharply at the Thestrals. Voice.
Although the Thestrals are not as numerous as the Hippogriffs, and I don’t know what the hell these bird-headed guys are doing, they are not to be outdone, opening their huge bat wings and making weird sounds. With sharp roars, they faced off against the hippogriffs.
"hold head high--!"
The other animals, however, did not mind the excitement and began to make noises one after another.
After a while, the Hippogriffs and the Thestrals fought in a group, and because they could all fly, their fighting place was not limited to the land, but they all flew into the sky.
"Ah!"
Feish, who noticed the movement over there, immediately stopped playing with Buckbeak, changed back to cat-man form, and jumped onto the back of an Iser dragon next to him.
"Quick! Take me to see the fun, meow!" (●ΦωΦ●)
Feish excitedly urged the Iser dragon under him. Apart from the last time he surrounded the Acromantula, he had not seen other creatures in the Forbidden Forest fighting on a large scale.
The Iser dragon carrying Feish snorted, flapped its wings and flew into the sky, while Buckbeak beside him also rose into the air and joined the group battle.
The fight between the two sides did not last too long. Firstly, it was just a playful fight, and secondly, such a large group of hippogriffs and thestrals were making a fuss over the Forbidden Forest, and soon attracted the patrolling Hagrid.
Before Hagrid came to mediate, Fish, who had received the message from the Augurey, led everyone to disperse.
"Look, I said you couldn't beat Wuwu and the others."
In a forest far away from Hagrid, Fish was surrounded by a group of winged beasts. He cast rejuvenation spells on them and sprinkled salt on the wounds of the hippogriffs.
In terms of injuries, both sides were actually similar, and it could only be considered a draw, but the number of thestrals was less than that of the hippogriffs, so it could still be a draw, which naturally showed that the strength of the thestrals was stronger.
"Ah~"
Twilight Sparkle, a young colt who had not participated in the battle before, let out a proud cry, raised a pair of front hooves, and kicked Buckbeak and the others twice.
"Chee!"
The proud hippogriffs naturally couldn't stand this grievance. After Fish healed their wounds, they turned around and disappeared into the woods.
"Isn't it just a loss? Why is Meow so angry?"ω
Fish, who had been defeated repeatedly by Professor McGonagall, tilted his head in confusion, then took out food from his magic pocket and shared it with friends such as Thestrals and Iserlon who had not left.
As usual, everyone ate the food brought by Fish, and some young animals stuck to Fish and listened to him tell fairy tales he had heard from Professor McGonagall.
Suddenly, Wuwu, who was gnawing on a piece of beef bone, raised his head and let out a quick low roar at Fish.
"Ah!"
"What meow?! Lochlin is injured?!"
Fisch jumped up from the ground and climbed onto Wuwu's back without saying a word.
"Quick! Let's go help meow!"(●ΦДΦ●)

When I was looking for Buckbeak's fur color before, I suddenly saw Baidu Encyclopedia wrote that the hippogriff was a cross between a griffon and a horse, and Buckbeak's father was a griffon. It also marked that it was mentioned in the original Order of the Phoenix.
Then I went to read the Order of the Phoenix again... I couldn't find it at all. I was afraid that I missed it, and I specially found all the chapters in the Order of the Phoenix that mentioned Buckbeak and read them again... Still nothing!
I remember that the original book never mentioned this setting, and the official first edition of "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" did not mention this setting either.
But I really don't have much confidence in my memory. If anyone of you can confirm it, please let me know.
