The affair with Snape and Karkaroff was quickly put behind him by Holly. The Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info Christmas Ball has finally come to an end. However, the aftermath of what happened at the Christmas Ball did not completely subside.

On the shelves of the secret room, there was a row of bottles of red liquid, each with a label on it, on which were the names of many people - Romilda Venne, Lavender Brown...... It was Alcatel's Christmas trophy, but Holly added a copy spell to his bow tie, and all of them were there......

"What do you think Alcatel is trying to do?" asked Holly, picking up the bottles one by one and putting them back in their place.

"The vampire? who knows? The kind of creature that emerges from the day and night, I haven't been exposed to any dark magic that only needs the blood of a wizard. ”

"Oh, if it's for some special ritual, there must be other items to be sacrificed. ”

"I don't know. ”

"Why don't you go and ask the old bee?"

"Are you kidding? I don't want to be remembered by the Regent again, though I think he's much less likely to succeed now. ”

"Then I don't know, you know, in the forbidden area, some books have been taken away. ”

"So the books are with Dumbledore?"

“……”

"Okay. Holly didn't hear a response, but instead received a look of 'Are you an idiot?' of disdain.

"But recently some Alcatel suffered. ”

"yes, so many girls are in a coma from blood loss at the same time, Mrs. Pomfrey must be mad, right?"

"Not necessarily, but at least the last two days will be quieter. ”

"That's ......"

Time passed day by day, and after Christmas, Holly opened the golden egg in the secret room, borrowed the connection between the secret room and the black lake, and easily guessed the content of the second event, but Harry Potter still didn't seem to have any clue about that matter. But it wasn't there, no one cared about that, not even Dumbledore right now, because Rita Skeeter's recent article had once again put Hogwarts and Dumbledore on the headlines of the Daily Prophet.

Holly was not the first to know about this news, but this kind of news was passed quickly, especially from Slyergelin's sources, as long as there was any news that could be used by Draco Malfoy to fight Harry Potter, Slagellin would always know it as soon as possible, and then ...... Ravenclaw got the news, then Huffpuff, and then Draco Malfoy after Harry Potter was beaten, and Gryffindor students remembered to read the newspaper or magazine.

Rita Skeeter didn't take aim at Harry Potter this time, but again, the news will still have a certain impact on him. That's right, Hagrid's bloodline issue has become a target for Skeeter this time, and in fact, there is no big problem with a big man like Hagrid with giant blood as a guard, after all, this is just a "minor wizard" who was kicked out of school in the third grade. And in the case that there are no pure-blooded giants in the UK, a big man who can only use some brute force really can't pose any threat to other wizards.

However, Skeeter changed his perspective and mentioned Hagrid's Fantastic Beast Protection class, which was really not well received by parents, whether it was last year's crazy book, or the Hippogriff, or this year's fried tail snails, always, except for a few Gryffindor students, no one would like this "teacher" who was hairy and taught according to his own preferences.

Because of Lucius's connection last year, most of the powerful and other slightly influential figures in the wizarding world have learned about the hidden instability of Hogwarts.

Skeeter's report is a good deal of hitting these concerns – the blood of giants. Slightly older wizards, no one will forget how much trouble these rough-skinned guys caused to other wizards under the drive of the Dark Lord, even if they were also under the command of the Dark Lord, Lucius Malfoy and they didn't have a very good impression of them.

Bloodthirsty and cruel, this is the image people have of giants, and in fact, if it were not for their internal strife and serious fire with each other, the wizards would have no chance to destroy them, or even control the population of giants. It's hard to believe that Hagrid, who has the blood of a giant, could have been in a similar situation......

In particular, he also worked at Hogwarts, which was nothing if he were just a gamekeeper, but Dumbledore made him a teacher who taught all his students...... Not all parents have a blind trust in Dumbledore, in fact, the parents who think this way are probably the old lady Longbottom and the Weasleys. On the contrary, many parents have some doubts about whether Dumbledore can properly manage Hogwarts, but until you can't find a new headmaster who can control Hogwarts well, Dumbledore may be an option that everyone can accept for the time being.

Not only the Ministry of Magic, but also many big magical families also wanted to meddle in Hogwarts, but no one found a suitable way.

Taking a step back, even if Dumbledore's presence was able to control Hagrid, a half-blood giant, wizards would have a hard time believing in his loyalty to the wizarding world. The strongest fortresses are often breached from within, and even if it is not the "aliens" who are betrayed in the end, people still subconsciously do not believe in these "aliens".

Under such circumstances, all kinds of complaints and pressures were overwhelmingly towards Dumbledore and Hogwarts, and many attacks that should have been blocked by the Ministry of Magic were also transferred to Dumbledore intact with the tacit consent of some people. Dumbledore and the teachers at Hogwarts, who were already a little heady because of the Triwizarding Tournament, once again entered the rhythm of overtime.

In such a situation, the fourth grade Magical Beasts Protection class temporarily changed teachers. Professor Graplan, who temporarily succeeded Hagrid, took over the course. The Magical Beasts Protection class was probably one of the few classes where Holly was not ahead of the others, because Holly really didn't want to deal with Hagrid's big man.

Professor Graplan's first lecture gave a different feeling......
