Chapter 27: Hagrid's Pride
How powerful Dumbledore was, Shea had no way of knowing. Pen Γ fun Γ Pavilion www. ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ο½ γ The only thing that is certain is that if Shea Ann were to kill Dumbledore now, he would definitely die an ugly death.
If you can't master more powerful weapons, then you can't effectively damage the enemy, you can't effectively damage the enemy, and you can't return blood for blood. The simple logical conclusion instantly made Xie An realize his weakness. Not only was he a child, but he was also an ordinary child who did not possess powerful, almost divine powers.
Fortunately, Xie An is used to it. Despair and anger could no longer effectively hurt Xie An's inner world, which was already full of wasteland and radiation, and he didn't care if he was in a worse position.
So, it only took him one song and he left it behind.
"Andy, I'm sorry, I can't help you. After class, Hermione said to Xie An with heavy dark circles under her eyes. The girl has done her best, and even did not hesitate to secretly read some forbidden books, but still in exchange for such consequences. The frustration made Hermione look pale, far less proud and confident than she used to be.
"No, Hermione, you've helped me, at least for me to discover this difficult existence. Xie An chuckled softly.
"I think it's so unfair, it's totally discriminatory against us, why can they master a more powerful spell, we can't. Hermione said in a peculiarly shrill voice, looking a little aggrieved and a little angry at the same time.
Xie An easily understood this grievance: after making so many efforts, he finally found that this thing was completely impossible, and it couldn't be worse. Everything was in vain.
Xie An shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "You know what, these are small things. We have more important things to do, I heard there's a Quidditch match today, and if you're willing to go on a date with me, I can give you a delicious ice cream. Sheaan didn't bother to discuss whether this was fair or unfair, he only cared about whether Hermione could get better faster.
The students who came out of the classroom obviously heard that Xie An wanted to date Hermione, but fortunately Professor Binns left through the wall, otherwise Hermione wouldn't have known how to explain the matter to the professor.
"Andrew, what are you talking about!" Hermione said in a very embarrassed voice.
"That's what you heard, I want to go with you to see Quidditch. Shayne smiled and wanted to go to Hermione's hand, but the girl's reserve refused him without hesitation. Hermione pretended to be indifferent and glanced at the gossipy classmates around her, sorted out the books in her arms, and walked away very peacockly.
"It's a bummer, but it looks effective. Xie An muttered softly and hurriedly followed.
Professor Binns's explanation quickly spread across the four Hogwarts houses, and the Slytherin snakes suddenly felt that they could finally be freed from the shadow of the eagles, and they all hissed out like poisonous snakes in winter.
Sheaan ignores a Slytherin upperclassman bullying a first-year Hufflepuff. Walk straight towards the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid's hut stood lonely in the wilderness. Xie An once had a dream that he could have such a quiet cabin in the woods and bask in the sun occasionally.
Hagrid looked busy, and Shay saw Hagrid in the field behind the house, tending to his vegetable field.
"Hey, Hagrid, what kind of melon are you growing, it looks delicious. Xie An crouched next to a newly grown vegetable melon and greeted Hagrid.
"Andrew, why are you here, don't you have to go to class today?" Hagrid was not surprised, turned his head to look at Xie An, and continued to take care of his vegetable patch.
"It's time for class. How is everything. Xie An asked as if he was bored.
"Again, this year's rain looks a little too much, and the seedlings are so lush that they don't look like they're going to bear much fruit. Hagrid complained.
"Well, Hagrid, thank you for last time. I heard Harry talk about what happened after I fell unconscious. Thank you for arriving in time to save me. Xie An said calmly.
Hagrid finally stopped what he was doing, turned to look at Xie An, and said apologetically, "Andrew, I should actually apologize to you. β
"Why? You saved me and Malfoy. Xie An didn't look at Hagrid, but continued to observe the melon seedlings.
"I was focused on other things, and if I could see your distress signal and rush to it as promised, maybe neither you nor Malfoy would be harmed. Hagrid whispered.
"No, Hagrid, it's not what you think. Even if you do, there's only so much you can do. That dark wizard is too strong, and you and Harry coming over will only put the three of you in danger as well. Xie An said coldly.
"Maybe you're right. But, Andrew, I've always wanted to tell you, but... You know, Lucius Malfoy is not a good talker, and if I admit my mistake, I could lose everything again. Hagrid whispered.
"I understand, Hagrid, I'm not here to say this, I'm just going to know something about my benefactor, the centaurs. Xie An regained his composure.
"Oh, Andrew, it was Malorne who saved your life! You really should be thankful for them, it looked dangerous at the time, you passed out on the ground, it looked like a battlefield all around, I couldn't imagine what was going on. β
"I think the same way, I'd love to say thank you to these centaurs in person. Hagrid, can you give me a message? I'd love to meet them. Xie An brought a trace of emotion, a trace of enthusiasm.
"I'd love to do you a favor. But you know, centaurs have always hated communicating with humans. I can't guarantee that they will agree. I can bring your words to them, but I can't guarantee that I will meet them. Hagrid replied.
"That's enough. Xie An smiled, "Hagrid, can I see your dragon?"
"Andrew, you're late, the dragon has already been taken. Charlie took the dragon to a distant place the other day. Hagrid was visibly frustrated with reluctance.
"That's a shame. But Hagrid, you've seen Roll, the panda I kept at home. What do you think of it?" Xie An said regretfully, and then mentioned another magical creature.
"Panda! I've heard of it, are you talking about that kind of mysterious Oriental creature? Andrew, you have a panda at home! It's a pity that Dumbledore doesn't need me to go to your house to deliver a letter during this time, I really want to meet this rare Oriental magical creature." "Hagrid has shown a keen interest in pandas, a magical creature that has never been seen before!
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you hadn't been to my house in a while. Next time you have time, you can go directly to my house to play, we are friends, as long as you have time, you can go to my house. The Earl will welcome you, too. Xie An said.
Hagrid glanced at Xie An happily and said loudly, "Is it okay, Andrew? I know that Lord Earl is a hospitable Oriental, haha, I will definitely go next time." β
"Hagrid, I'm sometimes curious, how big do you say this forbidden forest is, and why did the headmaster forbid us to enter it?" Xie An felt almost like that, and finally could tell his purpose.
Hagrid didn't think Andrew's question was a problem, and replied directly: "The Forbidden Forest is very large, and although I have been the caretaker of the Hogwarts hunting grounds for a long time, the Hogwarts hunting grounds are only a small part of the forest here. As for why students are not allowed to enter, Andrew, and experiencing the dangers firsthand, can't you say anything?"
"That's just a wizard, an evil wizard, not a friendly magical creature like a centaur, isn't it?" Xie An retorted appropriately.
"Oh, Andrew, it seems that the centaurs have given a serious misunderstanding! If you do enter this forest alone, you will find that most of the magical creatures inhabited by this forest are unfriendly! There have even been cruel werewolves there! And there are poisonous plants in it, and even the most experienced potions master can't identify all the poisonous weeds. And there is a legend that in the deepest part of the forest, there was once an ancient battlefield, and there are still Dementors and other evil creatures living there!" Hagrid explained solemnly.
"Dementors, are they the kind of creatures that can carry other people's souls?" Xie An instantly found his goal. Yes, that's the kind of skill, I need a skill that can take away other people's souls in an instant!
Hagrid shuddered from the memories and said, "You don't like that cold feeling, you don't know what it's like to lose all your joy and hope." You... Oh, Andrew, what are you talking about, you wouldn't want to go to the Dementors, would you?"
The pain is sobering. Xie An smiled softly: "How come, I'm just curious." Hagrid, did you say there are still unicorns in the Forbidden Forest?"
"I'm afraid we're going to be hard to see, I've heard the centaurs say that there's an evil aura hovering around here, and creatures like unicorns hate it. They may have moved deeper into the Forbidden Forest. Again, Hagrid felt sorry.
"Oh, that's a shame!" Xie An could sense Hagrid's love for these creatures from the heart, perhaps because of his huge body and strange birth since he was a child.
"Who's to say it isn't, but I'm glad I know people in the Forbidden Forest, and if I have the chance, I might even see beautiful and elegant unicorns. Hagrid laughed.
"You mean centaurs? That's enviable. Xie An was a little absent-minded, how could he catch a Dementor? Xie An knew a little less about Dementors, but it seemed easier to catch a Dementor with powerful deadly magic than to kill Dumbledore head-on.
"No, no, it's not the centaurs, they're not very talkative, I'm talking about an eight-legged magical creature that lives right on the road to the depths of the Forbidden Forest, and SHG laughed proudly, as if to show off how Dumbledore trusted himself.
"Eight legs, you meanβ" Xie An's first thought was a self-propelled war robot, the kind of deathbringer that emitted a scorching radiant red light and spread death and fear everywhere.
"Oh, Andrew, it seems that you don't know much about magical creatures, you really should learn more, those magical creatures are interesting. I can remind you again, a creature that can form webs. Hagrid seemed to know the magical creatures well, and said in a firm and proud tone.
Xie An lacks the common sense of magical life, and he knows that a creature with eight legs and a web-forming creature is called a "spider".
"Yes, it's a spider, and it was so small," Hagrid held out his big finger to show that it was the size of his thumb, "and now it's about the size of a tooth." It's really embarrassing to think about. Hagrid was once again caught up in the memory.
Xie An secretly labeled Hagrid sentimental, and duly inquired about the story of the spider.
The two of them sat in the field, like two farmers who had just worked together. Who would have thought that they were talking about magical creatures that ordinary Muggle farmers would never have heard of, would not know, and would not believe exist.
