Chapter 10: Hagrid the Caretaker
After a wave of owl rain, everyone received another wave of packages and family care, and after Ron opened the thick letter package, he looked helplessly at the letters inside, all of which were Mrs. Weasley's various worries and admonitions to his little guy after he went to school.

Harry saw that the twisted wrapping paper that Ron had removed appeared to be newspapers, picked it up and began to read it after asking Ron's permission.
"Xiwen, look at this. Harry suddenly shouted excitedly, realizing that he seemed to be disturbing everyone, and then whispered excitedly, "You see - the latest report on the Gringotts break-in, the investigation into the Gringotts break-in on July 31 is ongoing. It is generally believed that this was the work of unknown dark forces witches and witches. The goblins of Gringotts reaffirmed today that nothing had been stolen. The underground vault that had been searched by the intruders had in fact been emptied earlier in the day. A Gringotts leprechaun spokesman said this afternoon: "I have no comment on what is stored in the vault, so please do not interfere in this matter. β
"July 31?" Hermione's eyes narrowed, "we were at Gringotts!"
"Didn't you say that on the train?" asked Ron, confused.
"You didn't tell us the date, I didn't expect it to be that day. Harry seemed to remember something, the vault that Hagrid seemed to be getting that day was Vault 713, and if it was true, then the only thing in that vault was that shabby and dirty little paper bag. But Hagrid had said that he was secretly doing something for Dumbledore, and he trusted himself to let him see it, so he couldn't just say it.
"Siwen, how well do you know Hagrid? Harry asked suddenly.
Rubeus Hagrid's eyes flickered for a while, the glint in his eyes seemed to retrace the length of time.
"Hagrid is actually in his 60s"
"Oh my God" Ron suddenly showed a shocked expression, and Harry looked about the same.
"He was actually Professor of Transfiguration at Headmaster Dumbledore, who was Armando Duppet at the time. Hagrid belongs to the orderly and kind camp, and is very friendly to young wizards, but because of his physique, animal affinity, and other factors, he is different from others, so danger and safety in his eyes do not apply to us. It's easy to get hurt by animals that he thinks are cute and friendly. When he was in school, there was a murder, and it turned out that Hagrid happened to be the beast he was raising at that time. The person who falsely accused Hagrid also received a Merlin Medal and a Hogwarts Special Contribution Award. β
"Murderβno," Ron grimaced, as if he didn't want to go to the Biggo Hut.
"It wasn't Hagrid's business, but although he was wronged, under pressure, neither the school nor the Ministry of Magic had time to make a detailed investigation, and he had to give an explanation to the parents quickly, so Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts. Luckily, Professor Dumbledore was convinced of Hagrid's innocence, so he stayed behind and built a cabin near the Forbidden Forest, where he guarded the Forbidden Forest, kept the animals, and kept some castle keys. β
"Does he have a good relationship with Professor Dumbledore?" asked Harry in a whisper.
"Very well, after all, Hagrid was able to stay in the school because of Dumbledore, and it can be said that Hagrid was very loyal to Professor Dumbledore, and Professor Dumbledore also gave full trust to Hagrid. β
Hermione seemed to see that Siwen had a hint on her face that she didn't think much of it. She asked hesitantly.
"In 1940, Hagrid had been in the school since 1940, and for 50 years, fifty years, I didn't think it was worth it, fifty years of guarding the Forbidden Forest, patrolling, safekeeping, and fulfilling Dumbledore's mission, day after day, year after year. β
Sivin watched the young wizards listen attentively and continued, "But for fifty years, Dumbledore didn't give Hagrid any help other than allowing him to live here. Failing to clear Hagrid's wrongs and continue to complete Hagrid's interrupted education, if, assuming another Hogwarts murder, the Ministry's first instinct would be to take Hagrid to Azkaban. β
"Oh God...... That's horrible, don't mention that kind of place" Ron turned pale. In the wizarding world, Azkaban is a kind of existence that stops children from crying at night. Well, the famous wizarding prison is used to scare small children, I don't know if it's overkill.
Hagrid's father died young, and it can be said that Hagrid has been in a state of abandonment since the fourth or fifth grade. Do things completely on your own instincts. There is no guidance or guidance. Even if it was for Hagrid to systematically learn about magical creatures. β
"But Hagrid is still so dutiful, isn't he?" asked Harry.
"Yes, Hagrid's loyalty and conscientiousness are unquestionable, but, because of the lack of guidance, he does things more by his own experience, by his own habits. It's easy to be targeted. Like Harry, do you know you were sent to Privet Road by Hagrid?"
Harry looked incredulous.
"But when I was sending you off, I met an acquaintance on the way and asked Hagrid what he was doing, and Hagrid told him the task directly. You must know that the mysterious man had just had an accident at that time, and the dark wizards were still rampant, and even the final madness was even more terrifying. And because of the existence of deformation and methods of controlling others, no one could trust casually in those days, and this was the case that Hagrid casually divulged your existence. β
But Hagrid ...... He still takes good care of me, doesn't he?he's the equivalent of risking a dark wizard's sniper to get me out of the High Pyramid Valley?" asked Harry in a low voice, looking down.
"Yes Harry, Hagrid is a good man, sometimes confused, but a good fellow. George Fred often went to Hagrid to rub some magic materials. Looking at the pure smile on little Harry's face, Siwen patted him on the shoulder, "If you think you're a good person, you can rest assured that you'll be friends." β

In the evening, Harry and Ron, happy and aching, returned. Hermione smiled after taking a bite of the rock crust cake in the small package that Ron was carrying, and exchanged the rest for Ron. The uneaten rock skin cake was placed directly on the plate next to it.
"Sivin is right, maybe Hagrid is chewing on this thing, but we can't afford it. Ron clutched his cheeks and said with a sad face, "I feel like my molars are loosening a little." Hermione on the other side was also covering her mouth.
"Wow, Hagrid's crust cake, you guys really have the courage. After dinner, Siwen walked over and smiled and picked up the rock crust cake on the plate and took a bite, the clattering sound like chewing a stone made people's whole body numb.
Hermione's face suddenly flushed, that rock crust cake was mine...... After kicking Siwen hard, little Hermione ran away, leaving Siwen with a confused face.
"How did you feel after visiting Hagrid?"
"Hagrid is a good fellow~" Harry and Ron looked at each other with their cheeks covered and laughed.
