Chapter 36: The Secret II

"Is that all there is to it?" Ron looked disappointed, "I thought it was something exciting—more exciting than three big dogs!"

"No, it's not," Harry said with a frown, "I was flying through the air looking for the Golden Snitch when I accidentally saw Hagrid enter the Forbidden Forest—"

"Of course! Hagrid is a hunting ground warden, so it's strange that he doesn't go in, right, vio. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info" Ron looked at Harry inexplicably, not knowing what he was surprised about.

Vio nodded, not knowing where Harry's focus was.

"Well, listen, let me finish my sentence," Harry said, "The point is that after Hagrid went in, Snape and Quirrell followed him - and they didn't come out until I found the Golden Snitch!"

"Hmm. Vio remembered that when he and Linnaeus ran from the library to the courtyard, he had seen Snape and Quirrell as well. She hesitated to tell them the clue.

"Quirrell, does he have a good relationship with Snape, and will we talk to each other in the Forbidden Forest?" Ron joked in disbelief.

"Ron, this is no simple meeting," Harry said, his tone starting to get a little irritated, "You remember the big three-headed dog we saw that day, it must be guarding something, maybe it was the one Hagrid took me to Gringotts Wizarding Bank during the summer holidays!"

"Well, yes, but what does that have to do with Quirrell and Snape?" Ron thought seriously for a moment, still puzzled.

Harry sighed, and then turned his trusting gaze to Vio, who had been beside him and had not said anything, "Vio, what do you think?"

"・・・・・・" was answered by name. Vio spread his hands helplessly, "You don't mean to say that Snape and Quirrell had the idea of doing that bad for Hagrid, right?"

"Well, not exactly. Harry looked at her approvingly, "At least Quirrell is weak, and I think it's more likely that Snape coerced him into going to Hagrid to ask about the whereabouts of that thing." ”

"Oh. Ron looked suddenly realised and nodded convincingly, "That makes sense." ”

Vio secretly rolled his eyes with a smile, "Harry, they're school teachers, you maybe- maybe you're too nervous." ”

"・・・・・・," Harry looked a little disappointed, but he insisted, "not necessarily, think about it, that thing might be valuable, anyone who knows it wants it, and Snape has been acting unusually lately, isn't it?"

"Are you saying he's becoming more and more partial to you?" asked Ron, concerned.

Harry's face was slightly red, "No-" He was about to say something, but Vio interrupted him eagerly, pointing to the edge of the Forbidden Forest in the distance, and out of the swarthy woods came a large man nearly a tree tall, "Look, Hagrid is out." ”

Harry and Ron turned their heads at the same time, looking at Hagrid nervously, afraid that he would limp or collapse.

"Then let's go back. Vio took the opportunity to suggest.

"How about we go see Hagrid?" Ron patted Harry on the shoulder, as if to comfort him, and said to Vio, "Vio, you haven't officially met Hagrid yet, he has a nice big dog called Tooth-"

"Uh・・・・・・" Vio hesitated, because something crucial usually happened during their meeting with Hagrid, so she didn't want to go. She shook her head slowly, "I might, maybe I'm going to see Hermione?"

"Hermione, she's fine, she's reciting the Wand Making Regulations when we get out of the break room—"

"Forget it, Ron, let's go. Harry nodded, didn't say anything more, and pulled Ron away.

Ron turned around and waved at Vio, looking confused.

This time Harry didn't say goodbye to Vio, who suddenly remembered that this was the second time he had refused to go with them to see Hagrid, and had used a rather lame reason.

Hagrid was a very important being to Harry, and her actions might be seen by Harry as refusing to enter his world.

Vio stood in place for a long time, until the back in his field of vision faded away, and it was no longer clear.
