Harry Potter’s Book of Sin Chapter 184: Not too big a deal

——————

Dumbledore's major mistake!

Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reported that the headmaster of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, the weird Abs Dumbledore, has always dared to hire controversial teachers.

In September this year, he hired Aristo, "Mad-Eye" Moody as the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts class. This decision surprised many people in the Ministry of Magic.

Moody is a notorious evil spirit. He used to be an Auror. As everyone knows, whenever someone moves suddenly in front of him, he will attack.

However, compared to the half-human and half-demon Dumbledore hired to teach the conservation of magical creatures, Moody's Mad-Eye is conscientious and kind.

The timeliness of this news in the Daily Prophet is very strong. The Christmas holiday has just passed, and the news about Hagrid's giant blood has been put on the headlines by Rita Skeeter.

She used sharp words to narrate a lot of harmful remarks about giants, and passed them all on to Hagrid. In order to strengthen her persuasiveness, she even asked a student to do a small interview.

"I was attacked by a eagle-headed horse-winged beast, and my friend Vincent Crabbe was bitten by a Flobber caterpillar." In the interview, a person named Della Ko Malfoy’s fourth grader said, “We all hate Hagrid, but we dare not speak up.”

Obviously, in the middle of the ball last night, it was not only the people who had overheard the conversation between Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim.

On the day the newspaper was published, Hagrid took time off, and the substitute professor was a witch named "Wilmina Grapland."

To be honest, no matter how she deals with magical creatures, at least her teaching level is indeed much better than Hagrid. She gave everyone a practical class related to beautiful unicorns. Those beautiful and pure creatures gave the students a very good impression.

But Harry and the others seemed very anxious. They were fine the other day! Where is Hagrid?

When Professor Grapland brought the girls a little closer to the unicorns, Harry turned to Ron and said, "What do you think has happened to him? It won't be a snail—"

"Oh, Potter, if you are worried about this, I can tell you that he was not attacked," Malfoy said softly. "No, he was just too embarrassed to show his ugly big Face."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked sharply.

Malfoy reached into the pocket of his robe and took out a folded newspaper.

"Watch it for yourself." He said with a smug smile, "I really don't want to tell you this news, Potter..."

It was the headline article with a picture of Hagrid on it, and the look on his face looked sneaky.

"How did she find out?" Ron asked in a low voice.

But this is not what Harry had in mind.

"What do you mean?'We all hate Hagrid'?" Harry asked Malfoy sharply. The caterpillars took a bite? They don't even have teeth!"

Crabbe smirked ho-ho, obviously feeling very proud.

"Okay, I think it's time to end this idiot's teaching career." Malfoy said, his eyes gleaming, "The hybrid giant... I thought he was just drinking a bottle of oxytocin when he was a child... Parent They won’t agree...They are worried that he will eat their children, haha..."

"You--"

Soon it was time for get out of class again, and the girls came back with Professor Grapland.

"This class was great." Hermione said as they walked into the auditorium, "I don't know half of what Professor Grapland told us about unicorns—"

"Look at this!" Harry roared angrily, stuffing the "Daily Prophet" article under Hermione's nose.

Hermione read the article and opened her mouth in surprise. She reacted exactly like Ron.

"How did Skeeter find out about that annoying woman? Hagrid told her?"

Recently, Ron and Hermione seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they both kept silent about their quarrel. Now they are very friendly to each other, but they are kind and unnatural.

Just a few days ago, they discussed the height of giants together. Hermione remembered that it was twenty feet in the book, but Harry remembered that Maca mentioned that it was thirty feet.

But today, they no longer have the time to discuss those issues.

"We have to go see him." Harry said, "Just tonight, after the divination class. Tell him we want him back...Do you want him back?" He asked Hermione nonchalantly.

"I—Oh, I don’t want to tell lies. Occasionally, I have a decent lesson on protecting magical creatures. It’s not bad to change my taste—but I do hope Hagrid will come back. Of course I do!” Hermione was Harry's angry gaze was startled, and he added hastily.

So, after dinner that day, the three of them left the castle again, walked through the snow-covered grounds, and walked towards Hagrid’s hut—they wanted to go with Maca, but who knows, Maca I don't know where I went.

When they came to the door of Hagrid's hut, Harry knocked on the door, and Ya Ya's low barking sounded immediately behind the door.

"Hagrid, it's us!" Harry shouted, pounding the door hard, "Open the door!"

Hagrid did not answer. They could hear Fang scratching the door and whispering, but the door did not open. They knocked hard for more than ten minutes. Ron even knocked on a window in the past, but there was no answer.

This time, Hagrid seemed to be unable to come out.

"I always think that Maca should be in it right now..." Harry couldn't help but turn around. "He always does this. Every time he pops up in the most critical place, it will bring us all I was shocked."

But unfortunately, Maca is really not here this time.

The news in the "Daily Prophet" knew that he even saw Rita Skeeter in the form of Animagus that night, but he didn't mean to prevent this episode from happening.

The Hogwarts needs a little chaos right now—if the water is too clear, there is no one willing to reach in to catch the fish.

Of course, the premise is that Skeeter doesn’t lead the flames to him...

For now, at least, Maca’s warning to Rita Skeeter is still very useful, as can be seen from the fact that Maca’s name has not even appeared in news reports.

While Harry and the others were worrying about Hagrid's affairs, Maca walked alone in a certain alley in Hogsmeade Village.

"coming?"

Just ahead, in a dark corner, a figure who couldn't see his face suddenly spoke.

"Tarino, how is the situation?" Maca asked calmly.

"The target of this mission is not easy to deal with," the person whispered, "Up to now, several targets have been lost-but it is certain that they are still very cautious in their actions. Obviously there is still a while before the big move!"

"Very well, continue to stare..." Maca said, and suddenly handed out the box he was holding. "These things you take away are all useful things-to move the target. They are watching closely, and try not to miss any clues."

The figure took the suitcase, opened it slightly, and then closed it firmly.

"Seriously, these potions of yours are about to spoil us..." He said smoothly, "The old folks in charge of those key targets have said that with these supplies, tracking is like taking a walk. It's easy."

"During the mission, these costs will not ask you for a copper nat, don't save it," Maca waved his hand, "As long as the mission is completed well, I can give you more."

"Just this sentence for you, next time there is a task, we will give you a half discount!"

The two quickly finished their conversation, and left separately, as if nothing had happened here just now.

Time flies quickly, and in a blink of an eye it is already mid-January.

The classmates are all going to Hogsmeade Village to play, and Harry wants to go too. He thinks maybe he will meet Hagrid there, so that he has a chance to persuade him to come back.

But Hermione disagreed, because the problems left by the first event of the Triwizard Tournament are still waiting for them! The box was very depressing, and Hermione had been studying it, but she didn't expect a good idea to open it.

"I intend to take this opportunity to think about it, I think you should do the same!" She persuaded Harry seriously, "Remember? We have to complete the task!"

In fact, Dumbledore didn't set up a complicated question about how to open the box. To open them, you just need to find the right place-this only tests the warriors' mobility and their understanding of ancient runes.

The places where you can open the four boxes are different~IndoMTL.com~ but all are within the scope of the school.

For example, Maca’s snow-white ice box, he only needs to go around in the ice cellar at Hogwarts, and he can easily find the rune altar used to open the box.

This kind of magic mechanism utilizes the combination and replacement characteristics of Rune texts-none of them exist independently. Each of them can be replaced by other runes and obtain another completely different effect.

But where does Maca have time to find an altar?

He drew a few simple rune patterns himself, and completed the rune replacement easily.

When the ice box in front of Maca suddenly burst into blue flames, the lid of the box opened automatically...

There is an irreplaceable clue in each box, which will become the real goal of every warrior in the upcoming second event of the Triwizard Tournament.

"Dumbledore is really not too big of a problem..." Maca muttered, looking at the contents of the box.
