Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy Chapter 350: Hogwarts Down Under the Sad Clouds
There was a long silence.
"I said, today is a holiday, isn't it?!" Ron tried to liven up the atmosphere, "The lounge is so boring! How about we go out for activities now? Go to Quidditch-sorry! Go How is Hagrid’s place? Speaking of it, we haven’t visited him for a long time, since the lesson he taught to protect magical creatures."
Did you forget that Harry has ruined his light wheel 2000? ! Hermione retracted the shoe that was on Ron's instep, and then looked at Harry expectantly.
Although in her opinion, letting Harry leave the castle is not a very wise choice, but just going to Hagrid will not cause any major problems. After all, Hagrid’s wooden house is not far from the castle. As long as it is not for Harry to run directly outside the school.
"Okay, let's go." Harry opened his eyes suddenly. He sat up straight, looked at Hermione and Ron and said, "Let's go to Hagrid. I can also ask him why he is with me. When talking about my parents, they never told me about the name Black."
It is obviously not to Hermione’s mind to let Harry continue to explore the things about Black. She quickly said: "Or we can do the homework first? Have you finished your vacation homework for the divination class? The professor of the arithmetic divination class— —"
"Let's go to Hagrid right now!" Harry interrupted Hermione and said firmly.
However, Hagrid's mood seemed a little worse than Harry's.
When Harry, Hermione, and Ron walked through the crystal clear snow to Hagrid's cabin in their cloaks, what they saw was a big man with red and swollen eyes.
Harry was hugged by Hagrid before he could even ask the reason.
"Small—" Facing Hagrid's overwhelming bear hug, Harry's throat came out of (the man was about to be folded in half and his waist was about to be broken) a voice that was about to die.
Ron and Hermione noticed Harry's horror. One of them held Hagrid by the arm and the other grabbed Harry by the back collar to save him from Hagrid's embrace.
Hagrid, with his arm held by Ron (more like a lift), returned to the house obediently, and then suddenly threw himself on the huge wooden table in the room, crying uncontrollably, Dou Da Tears flowed all over his face, dripping into his unkempt beard.
"Hagrid, what's the matter?" Hermione, who was supporting Harry, asked in shock.
"Yeah--why--what happened?" Harry, who was holding his waist with one hand, also asked, his words still accidentally exposed the intense pain he felt before.
At this moment, Ron suddenly found that there was an official letter on Hagrid's head. The letter had been opened, but his father was working at the Ministry of Magic. What about Ron as a child? Isn't it clear that this official letter comes from the Ministry of Magic? Looking at the logo on the letter, it probably came from the Department of Magical Creatures Management and Control.
"What is this, Hagrid?"
Hearing Ron's questioning, Hagrid's cry was obviously louder, but he still pushed the letter to Ron.
Looking at Harry and Hermione, Ron picked up the letter on the table and read in a voice that can be heard by several people: "Dear Mr. Hagrid... the eagle-headed horse and the winged beast attacked the students... You are not responsible."
"Isn't that good?" Harry gently pulled away from Hermione's support, walked to Hagrid and patted his broad shoulder, "Buckbeak has nothing to do with you."
But Hagrid was still crying, and he waved his hand to signal Ron to continue reading.
"...but this case will be submitted to the Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Animals..." Ron continued reading the letter until he had read everything.
"The Committee for Disposal of Dangerous Animals?" Harry said counterintuitively. He didn't know what this department in the Ministry of Magic really did, but with the name, you could probably guess what its work was." But Buckbeak is not a dangerous magical animal, isn’t it? It’s very friendly. And it was Malfoy’s own reasons before that Buckbeak scratched him."
Hermione and Ron scowled and glanced at Harry at the same time.
"You are still young and don't know how bad the guys who deal with the Dangerous Animals Committee are." Hagrid choked and said, "They specialize against funny animals! Eight-eyed giant spiders! Kamera! Fire dragon! Poison Horn..."
Even Harry couldn't speak for Hagrid this time.
In fact, he never fully agreed with Hagrid’s view of what he called “funny animals”. Instead of calling them “funny animals”, Harry felt that “horrible monsters that are highly dangerous and extremely deadly” are more Suitable for those magical animals.
However, if according to Hagrid’s standards, horizontal comparisons of lion-headed eagle-headed beasts, human-headed lion-shaped scorpion tails, sacred leopards, werewolves, etc., are really cute. Kind of, even in the book "Where are the Fantastic Beasts", the hazard level marked on the eagle-headed horse-body winged beast is "XXX" instead of 4X or 5X...
Hi! What are you thinking about? Harry couldn't help but cursed himself secretly, at this moment he couldn't remember why he came here just now.
"Hagrid, you must be well prepared and have a strong defense so that you can keep Buckbeak." Hermione comforted, "I can help you! Ron and Harry Yeah, right?"
Harry and Ron nodded together where Hagrid could not see.
But before the two of them could speak, Hagrid said again: "It's no use! Those on the committee were instigated by Lucius Malfoy! If I lose the case, Buckbeak—"
Hagrid quickly stroked his throat with his finger~IndoMTL.com~ This is about a gesture commonly used all over the world.
In the face of Hagrid's crying louder and louder, Hermione obviously didn't know what to do. She looked at Harry and Ron as if asking for help, but obviously, the two boys had nothing to do.
Although the visit to Hagrid this time was far from pleasant, Harry hardly found any opportunity to talk to Hagrid about the Dementors or Black, but for Ron and Hermione, it was Almost reached their expected range.
For most of the Christmas holidays, although Harry never forgot about Blake’s unshakable enemy, he stopped thinking about revenge anymore. He spent most of his time and energy in the library. Here, he needs to help Hagrid win and deal with the dangerous animal committee lawsuit. For the rest of the time, Harry needs to complete his vacation homework.
The two-week vacation time passed in the blink of an eye. Harry, Hermione, and Ron hadn’t found a suitable case to use as a reference. The students who had left school during the vacation came back, and the Gryffindor Tower again Once became lively and noisy.
The night before school started, the captain of the Gryffindor Quidditch team Wood found Harry.
"I'm trying to solve it. Wright taught me a way to deal with dementors." Harry said quickly, although he hadn't practiced the patron saint at all this holiday, so did Hermione and Ron. "And Professor Lupin also said that he wants to help me train how to resist dementors. It should start in the first week after school starts."
"Ah, this is better!" Wood was obviously relieved, "Harry, have you ordered a new flying broom?"
This time it was Harry's turn to smile bitterly: "No, I guess I have to take the school's meteor to fight Ravenclaw."
