Chapter 138: Hagrid Returns

"Today's homework is to briefly explain the basic principles and scope of application of the transformation spell, if you are more interested in this, you can also try to try it, okay, today's lesson is here, the end of class. Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Professor McGonagall's words came from the podium, signaling the end of the class.

"Hermione, let's go to Hagrid's cabin later?" Harry asked tentatively, pushing Hermione's chair from the back table, Hermione was now sorting out her books for the afternoon lesson.

As a third-year student's coma spell, Hermione's spell was not very powerful, not to mention that it was not a lethal spell, and after a short period of careful recuperation, she began to attend classes as usual again.

"Is Hagrid back?" asked Hermione, surprised.

"I don't know. Ron shook his head.

"But that's what Professor Dumbledore said yesterday, telling us to ......"

"Okay, but wait a minute, I have a question for Professor McGonagall. Hermione said happily, and then hurried up to the podium.

Harry and Ron could only look at each other helplessly from their seats, they had never been keen on this kind of thing.

"Miss Granger, I don't think today's lesson is difficult for you. Professor McGonagall looked at the student in front of her with a tense face, and was about to get up and pack up her teaching aids and leave, when she noticed an extra figure in front of her, stopping in front of her.

"Professor McGonagall, I ......" Hermione's face flushed slightly, and she spoke in embarrassment, only to be interrupted by Professor McGonagall again.

"I think I know what you want to ask. Professor McGonagall's face was still cold, and her tone was stern, "Unfortunately, even if you're fully recovered now, that thing can't be handed back to you." ”

"Why?" said disappointment to Hermione's face.

"The Ministry of Magic doesn't allow wizards of your age to use such dangerous items. Professor McGonagall shook her head, "Actually, I don't agree with it, although it's good that you like to learn, but one's energy is always limited. Professor McGonagall paused, stroking Hermione's face and somewhat curly hair with her wrinkled, tree-like palms, a gentle expression suddenly appearing on her face.

"Kid, don't force yourself, I'll tell the other teachers, you don't have to be so tired, and in my opinion, there are some classes that are not necessary at all. At this point, Professor McGonagall's tone was worse again, apparently thinking of some teacher who was not looking at him correctly.

"I've only been to Professor Trelawney's divination class once. Hermione said weakly, and then she saw Professor McGonagall look of rare joy, and then tensed her face again, making herself look as unhappy as possible.

"That's it, come to my office when you have time and take the invisibility cloak back, I don't know why it was there. Professor McGonagall nodded, and left the classroom.

Looking at Professor McGonagall's back, Hermione was a little stunned, but at the same time a little relieved, and adjusted her mood before she walked up to Harry and Ron's seats, smiled and said, "Let's go." ”

So the three of them left the classroom and went downstairs, past the Quidditch pitch, towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, where Hagrid's hut was located.

It was midday, the sun was shining through the gaps in the leaves, it had rained last night, and the grass on both sides of the road was now smelling of a mixture of earth and grass, and the pumpkins in the land were growing happily, yellow-orange-orange, which had not been managed for a long time, and had allowed them to grow wildly, and were now ready to be picked.

"Look, Hagrid is at the door!" Ron reminded his two companions at the top of his voice as Ron reminded his two companions of the cabin, and Hermione and Harry smiled at Hagrid's signature sheer physique, and hurried to speed up their feet.

"Hagrid, where have you been these days?"

"We miss you so much. ”

"I thought you were fired and sent to jail, and I don't even know how much I regret the stupid thing I did!"

The few of them chattered at the doorway of the room, and Hagrid's large face, hidden under his beard, turned red, and he couldn't interject when he tried to speak.

"All right, children, you can come in and talk, the sun is very poisonous outside. An old, deep voice came from behind Hagrid.

"Professor Dumbledore!" all three whispered at the same time.

Dumbledore stepped out from behind Hagrid, dressed in silver-white wizarding robes embroidered with moon and stars, smiling at them.

Although his figure is tall compared to ordinary people, he is still not good enough in front of Hagrid, and it is reasonable to be blocked.

Dumbledore then gently pushed open the door to Hagrid's hut, and the five of them crossed the threshold and entered.

"Sneeze!" Ron sneezed as soon as he entered the room, and then his nose turned red, as if he had been stimulated by something.

The room had been uninhabited for too long, with pheasants hanging from the ceiling, a large bed in the corner, and of course the floor, and everything that could be seen was covered with a thin layer of dust.

"Well, I just came back and didn't have time to clean it. Hagrid looked at the room in front of him, scratched at his unkempt hair, and said to them with some embarrassment.

"Clean up!"

"Clean up. ”

Hermione Dumbledore and Dumbledore took action, the former only cleaned up the surrounding area, while the latter was like a big cleaning of the whole house, and it immediately became bright.

"Looks like there's a few stools left here. Dumbledore said, twisting his beard.

"No, Professor. Harry said, and the group walked over to the big bed and sat down, the futon made of rags and bedding was well and soft.

The first few people were fine, but when Hagrid sat up, the whole bed shook a few times, making people suspect that it would break at any time.

"Where have you been these days, Hagrid?" asked Harry.

"Is it true that my dad said he saw you at the Ministry of Magic?" Ron asked.

"Harry, listen to me. Hagrid hesitated, as if he had made up his mind, before he spoke, "I'm leaving Hogwarts." ”

"What?" all three of them stood up together.

"No, it can't be. Hermione looked at Hagrid in disbelief, she had no idea that her friend had come back to say goodbye to them.

"Hagrid, isn't that Malfoy dad making things difficult for you, I'll settle accounts with him now. Ron clenched his fists and pulled his leg to rush out the door.

"Professor Dumbledore, you can help Hagrid, can you?" Harry could only look at Dumbledore, hoping for some comfort.

"No, no, no. Hagrid shook his head hurriedly, and his body drove the whole bed to shake more violently, and with one hand grabbed Ron, who was about to stand up, and pressed him back to sit on the bed.

"It's not a good habit to talk about other people's fathers behind your back, Mr. Weasley. A cold word suddenly came from outside the door, and then the small wooden door was pushed open.

"Mr. Hagrid, there's not much time left for you to catch up, please hurry up. Malfoy casually leaned against the wall, urging him to speak.

"Okay, I'll do it as soon as possible. Hagrid nodded.

Hermione looked at the indifferent Dumbledore with some panic, and the only person she could count on was still smiling incomprehensibly, just looking at them.

Hermione didn't know what to do now, she thought she owed him a favor, no matter what he thought, but Lupin and Sirius were saved because of him.

Whatever his purpose, it was true, he could not care, but he couldn't act as if nothing had happened, and she didn't accept Ron and Harry's statement that they had cleared up before.

So now she naturally bowed her head in front of Malfoy.

The questioning words that could have been uttered without hindrance were stuck in the throat.

"Actually, I still want my students to live in peace and friendship. While Hermione was still wrangling with, Dumbledore spoke.

"How friendly? Professor, I can't do that. Ron said angrily, he saw that Hagrid's eyes were red now, and it was not easy to wash away the wronged Hagrid, should he lose his freedom because of this kind of thing?

"I'm sorry because I'm also a little bit responsible for this. Dumbledore's blue eyes shone sharply under his half-moon lenses.

As soon as the words fell, all three of them looked at Dumbledore in surprise, looking incredulous.

"Listen to me!" Hagrid's loud voice suddenly resounded throughout the room, shaking them into tinnitus, and their eyes turned to Hagrid, who was making the sound.

"Ahem. Hagrid coughed heavily, a little embarrassed, before pulling out a small gray and black notebook from his jacket pocket and handing it to the three Harry.

Hermione forcibly calmed herself down, then opened the small book and read it subconsciously: "Rubeus Hagrid, a special expert in the Department of Magical Beasts Management and Control of the British Ministry of Magic. ”

A great sense of absurdity rose from the hearts of the three of them at the same time, and Hermione only then stared at Hagrid's clothes as if she had noticed something, she had not noticed it before, but now she had noticed a very subtle sense of disobedience.

The big standard costume was put on Hagrid's body, which was very similar to the clothes worn by the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic before, but it was slightly different, because of Hagrid's image problem, this dress looked very ordinary after being enlarged, after all, such a big man standing in front of people, people would always subconsciously pay attention to himself, not clothes.

The three of them looked up at Hagrid at the same time, only to see Hagrid look around a little embarrassed, rubbing his messy beard with his broad palms.

"As you all know, Hagrid loves magical creatures, and he's gifted at communicating with them," Dumbledore said as he looked into the three Harry.

They all nodded in unison, they all remembered all kinds of strange and vicious-looking creatures, and how obedient they were under Hagrid's men, such as Hippogriffs, eight-eyed spiders, and so on.

"Well, you've probably heard of the Dementor rebellion that happened not long ago. Dumbledore continued, then glanced at Malfoy at the door.

"Professor, I can't think of anything to do with the two. Harry shook his head in confusion.

This meant that Azkaban was running out of manpower, and it was the Aurors who were out to arrest criminals that they were barely able to maintain order at that time. Dumbledore said patiently.

"Do you mean to let the magical creatures that Hagrid has cultivated guard the prisoner?" Hermione was the first to react, and by the time he had just now, Dumbledore's prompt had been very obvious.

"That's right, Miss Granger. Dumbledore laughed happily again, his eyes narrowing into slits.

"I really can't imagine it. Ron shook his head in disbelief, his eyes wide.

"But why didn't he tell us before?" said Harry, still wondering.

Fudge didn't want to explain that he was now degraded to the point where he had to rely on a key keeper to survive, so he asked Hagrid to sign a non-disclosure agreement. Dumbledore explained calmly.

"When I went to the Ministry of Magic, I really thought I would be greeted by a trial and the execution of Buckbeak. Hagrid said with his big hand over his chest.

Hagrid then began to tell interesting stories about his time at the Ministry of Magic.

"Hagrid, didn't you sign a non-disclosure agreement, how can you tell us this!" Hermione hurriedly reminded him, though it was too late.

"Fudge is already preparing for the transition to the next Minister of Magic, and now the regulations are no longer binding on Hagrid. Dumbledore explained.

"Then Hagrid, you can never leave the school anyway. Ron reacted and said hurriedly.

"It was my own decision. Hagrid said, glancing at Harry with some reluctance before explaining why.

"I've figured it out now that I'm not the right teacher. Hagrid waved his hand, then continued in frustration, "Although you all seem to be curious about this lesson, I know that you are doing it for my sake, and some students call me stupid behind their backs, but I can still see it." ”

Hagrid spoke, wiping away tears from his eyes.

"No, Hagrid......" Hermione hurriedly spoke, but Hagrid continued.

"But it was different there, I felt so much more at home, there were so many cute "kids" for me to take care of, and you know, I even saw a lot of endangered and extinct magical creatures. Hagrid's mention of his favorite things was like opening up a conversation and gushing about it, and the way his eyebrows fluttered made them a little amused.

But the thought that Hagrid was about to leave made their mood go down again.

"I can't bear you, Hagrid. Harry reluctantly.

"So do we. Hermione and Ron hurriedly said.

"Me too, but I can't help it. Hagrid gasped heavily, patted his head, as if thinking of something, and suddenly smiled mysteriously.

"We'll see each other soon, Harry, Ron, and Hermione. He said.

"I don't want to hear any internal secrets leaked, there's still time, and if you really want to stay here, then I'm not against that. Malfoy's cold voice interrupted the sensational scene.

All that was followed was an angry glare from Harry and Ron, who were very upset with the person in front of them who had broken the atmosphere.

There are also old accounts, and they all thought of the seven fire crossbow arrows at this time, so that they had already held half of the trophy and handed it over.

"Oh, Hagrid's new job was done by Draco through his father's suggestion to the Ministry of Magic, and I was able to do it partly because I wasn't at school the other day, and I also needed some time to work with Hagrid to raise creatures that weren't very obedient at first. Dumbledore felt the tension and said thoughtfully.

The words fell, and the atmosphere suddenly fell into inexplicable embarrassment again.

Harry and Ron froze as if they had been hit by a petrified spell.

And Hermione looked at Malfoy at the door with complicated eyes.

"Professor Dumbledore, it's not a good habit to quote words out of context, it makes me look like a helpful student, which doesn't match Slytherin's personality. Malfoy said with a nonsensical shrug.

"Being able to help others while benefiting is just as commendable. Dumbledore looked at Malfoy, his eyes flashing, and he said meaningfully.
