Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 696: Old friends
Chapter 697 Old Friends
Harry was very concerned about Albert's words, but he didn't expect that Professor Lupin was actually a good friend of his father, and Hagrid knew it too.
Why haven't they mentioned this to themselves?
Harry hesitated for a few days, and finally decided to ask Hagrid about Professor Lupin.
"Hagrid, is Professor Lupin really my father's good friend?"
Hagrid poured tea and asked, "Who told you that?"
"Albert." Hermione answered Hagrid's question for Harry. She found that Hagrid didn't seem to want to bring up the subject.
"Lupin and James were really good friends when they were at school." Hagrid spoke slowly, "But..."
"Their relationship is deadlocked?" Harry asked tentatively.
"No, no." Hagrid put the poured three cups of strong tea in front of the three and recalled, "They have always been very close friends, the kind that are inseparable, very similar to you."
"But why hasn't Professor Lupin visited me since he was a child?" Harry was very puzzled. He felt that if Professor Lupin was really his father's good friend, it would be impossible for him to be the only one after his friend died. The son doesn't care.
At least, Harry didn't think he would do that.
"Professor Lupin hasn't had a good time all these years, and I don't know about other things. If you have questions, I suggest you ask him directly?" Hagrid threw Harry's question directly to Lupin , and delighted in his own wit.
There are some things that Hagrid is really not good at telling Harry, and telling him now is not good, it will only make things worse.
"Okay!"
Knowing that there was nothing to ask from Hagrid, Harry gave up. He felt that he could go to Albert to inquire about the news, or go directly to Professor Lupin.
"Hagrid, what did Albert come to do with you?" Hermione changed the subject.
When they first came over, they happened to bump into Albert.
"He came to ask me questions about magical creatures." Speaking of this, Hagrid was a little proud, and Albert also recognized his ability in the field of magical creatures.
It's just that I just joined the job, and the teaching level needs to be improved.
"Ask about magical creatures." Ron's voice couldn't help raising a little bit, his tone was strange, even Harry and Hermione's expressions were a little unnatural, no way, Hagrid's protection Fantastic Creatures class sucks.
"Cough cough." Hagrid also noticed the expressions on the faces of the three, and cleared his throat, "Albert is going to attend... It seems to be called a magic school, oh yes, magic school potions Tournament. So he came to me to learn about the habits of some magical creatures, what to watch out for in the forest, and about where to find them."
"But these and potions..."
"School of Magic Potions Tournament," Hermione corrected.
"Yeah, what does it have to do with the Potions Tournament?" Ron asked in confusion.
"I heard that the contestants need to enter the magic garden to collect raw materials by themselves within the specified time."
"Why haven't I heard of this?"
"Hagrid, tell us about the Magic School Potions Tournament." Hermione was intrigued.
"It is said that it is a potions competition that all eleven wizarding schools in the wizarding world will send people to participate in. It has been a long time since Hogwarts won the championship." Hagrid was also very happy that the topic was led to Albert. " However, this year's Hogwarts has a good chance of winning, and you know that Albert has always been great."
"After all, he's a genius!" said Ron sourly, "few things can stop him."
"He's a genius, no matter what," Hermione whispered.
"You don't know how much Fred and George admired Albert and always believed what he said."
"That's because Albert can divination!" Hermione reminded.
"Albert is really good!" Harry admits.
At least, Albert had mastered the profound Patronus Charm very early, and he had been practicing hard for a week, and the Patronus was still extremely weak.
"No, you don't know, I once overheard Fred and George say that Albert was eyeing Sirius Black's high bounty and predicted that Black would appear at Hogwarts, Going to get a chance to catch Blake and take him to the Ministry of Magic for that bounty, and then take that money to their joke shop." Ron recalls overhearing the twins' conversation after they had just returned from Egypt.
"Then I should thank him, if he needs bait, I can help, then let him remember to give me some Galleons." Harry said half-jokingly.
"Harry, that's not the point, the point is that Albert thinks Blake will appear at Hogwarts." Hermione frowned, although she was reluctant to admit it, but Albert's judgment was always accurate , since he said Sirius Black would be at Hogwarts, Harry needs to be careful.
"Maybe, we can ask Albert to help predict when Sirius Black will appear, and then we can ambush Black together!" Ron suggested excitedly. Black's 10,000 Galleons bounty was really tempting, and if he could, he would like to get some money from that reward, even if it's just a few Galleons.
"Don't be paranoid, Black won't be caught so easily, otherwise the Ministry of Magic won't be looking for him all the time." Hagrid was taken aback by their boldness, and said quickly: "I asked Ai Burt, he said that's unlikely...and the time has not come."
"timing?"
"Don't ask me~IndoMTL.com~ I don't know, anyway, fortune-tellers are mysterious." Hagrid recalled Albert's appearance, and shook his head: "I remember that you all seem to be There are elective divination classes."
"Stop talking, that Professor Trelawney is a liar." Hermione began to tell Hagrid about Professor Trelawney's prediction that Harry would die in the first class.
"I don't know Professor Trelawney very well, but I heard many students call her an old liar in private." Hagrid turned to look out the window, stood up and said to the three: "Okay, I'll take you back to the castle. !”
"Without Hagrid, we can..."
"I insist Harry, you should pay attention to your own safety now." Hagrid got up and prepared to send the three of Harry back to the castle.
"Hogwarts is safe and there's a bunch of Dementors around the school."
"Albert thinks dementors are unreliable. I think he is right. Since Black can escape from Azkaban, there must be a way to hide the dementors." Now Hagrid is more willing to believe Abel Special judgment, especially after the accident in the first class, I regret that I didn't listen to Albert's advice at that time.
"Harry, promise me, don't run around after dark, okay?"
