Hermione and Ryan went to Hagrid the next day to convince him not to surprise everyone during class, after all, Umbridge was now at school and would find an excuse to get rid of teachers she thought were too close to Dumbledore. However, Hagrid thinks that no one in their right mind will want to study the Thorn and give up on Kemeramon.

Of course, he doesn't have Kemera now, not because he doesn't want to keep them, but because he can't easily get Kemera's eggs. So after trying Hagrid to no avail, Hermione looked very depressed.

"I think we can try to track Hagrid and see what he's got in store. If it's too dangerous, use other means to make him unable to talk about the animal. Ryan suggested.

Obviously, Hagrid didn't think there was anything wrong with the monsters he raised, and naturally he wouldn't hide the whereabouts of the monsters. The next day, during their lunch break, they saw Hagrid carrying a whole sheep into the Forbidden Forest.

He hadn't gone far before Ryan and Hermione saw him come to a clearing in the woods and stop to lay the sheep on the ground, followed by a strange, high-pitched cry that echoed through the dark woods like the whine of a giant bird.

A few minutes later, several Thestrals emerged from the dark woods, looked at Hagrid with their pupilless white eyes for a few seconds, and then lowered their heads and began to bite the dead sheep with their fangs.

"It should, well, be less dangerous. Hermione said as she looked at Thestrals, who were tearing at the lamb in the distance. "They've been pulling school wagons for so many years and haven't heard of anyone hurting anyone. At least it's much safer than the semi-wild Hippogriff. ”

"Yes. Ryan said as he looked at Hagrid, who was humming a little song to feed Thestrals. "I had planned to let the animals go if they were too dangerous, but now it seems that Hagrid has chosen a good animal. ”

Although Hagrid's choice of animals this time was not bad, he still received a slanderous appraisal from Umbridge in class. I don't think Hagrid will be highly rated in the end. During this class trip, Umbridge struggled to portray Hagrid as an intellectually retarded troll due to his giant blood. Although because of Ryan's interference, Hagrid's giant bloodline was not revealed last semester. But the task assigned to Hagrid by Dumbledore this time also made Fudge and his gang probably guess this, and naturally in this case, Hagrid's bloodline problem also became a weapon that Fudge used to deal with Dumbledore.

"Another disgusting pedigree. This was what Ryan said to Neville and Hermione next to him when he returned to the castle after class. "Come to think of it, she didn't be a Death Eater back then, she just didn't find the organization. ”

"Didn't you say the other day that you objected to the Headmaster letting those giants of England go?" asked Harry, who had come to the back at this time, when he heard Ryan's complaint.

"I repeat, I'm not the same cow as Umbridge. She opposes the Giants as she opposes this bloodline, believing that any creature with the blood of the Giants is a brutal and brutal piece of garbage and should be completely eliminated. What I object to is to be too lenient with giants who kill innocents, believing that anyone who commits a crime must be punished, whether he is a giant or a wizard. Once again, Ryan clarified his philosophy.

"That's right. Harry finally figured out what Ryan meant, he had thought that Ryan was a little dissatisfied with Dumbledore, but now that he heard it, he felt that Ryan was at most at least at odds with Dumbledore on some things. But the starting point is also reasonable, so the little dissatisfaction disappeared.

December brought more snow and an avalanche of homework for fifth-graders. As Christmas approached, Ryan and Hermione's prefects were getting heavier and heavier. They were responsible for overseeing the decoration of the castle. Fortunately, since the last time Ryan trapped Peeves in an armor for a while, now Peeves will choose to dodge instead of running up to cause chaos when he sees Ryan. On top of that, he had to take turns patrolling the corridors with Argus Filch, who suspected that fights might increase during the holidays.

However, during this round, Ryan unexpectedly gains Filch's favor: his Lady Loris has diarrhea, and Ryan volunteers to spend fifteen minutes making a potion to cure the cat. At the same time, through communication with the cat, Filch was warned of many of his previous mistakes in raising cats.

Filch does like his cats, but feeding them is not scientific. Otherwise, Lady Lorisy would not be skinny. A week after Ryan admonished Filch, he even received a thank-you note from Filch as well as a large box of candy from Duke Honey. Because after doing what Ryan told him, his cat has become healthy at a speed that is visible to the naked eye in the past week, and his appearance has also looked much rounder.

"You shouldn't have cured that cat. Ron said after knowing where the box of candy came from. "I always thought that cat would sneak around chasing anyone, and you were an enemy. ”

"I think Ryan did the right thing. Ginny disagreed. "Filch is annoying, but the cat isn't bad. It just listens to its master's orders. ”

"That's what I thought, too. Ryan said: "What's more important is that the cat will naturally become lazy when it gets fat, so we are much less likely to be caught by the cat in the future." Isn't it a win-win situation that Filch's baby is healthy, and we've reduced the chance of being caught?"

"That's right. Harry reacted at this point. "I'll just say why I've seen that cat much less often in the past two days, and now I think it's all due to Ryan!"

The most important thing in this time, in addition to decorating the castle, is the Christmas plan. In the library that day, Hermione asked Ryan, "Ryan, where are you going on vacation?"

"Well, I'm going to go to Russia. Ryan stopped writing.

"Russia? What are you going to do there? This year, our parents are in the Celestial Empire, so I thought you would choose to stay in school?"

Hearing Hermione's question, Ryan waved his hand for Hermione to come over, and then whispered into her ear. "Isn't it a failure of the Giants of Hegla, and I plan to go to the Giants alone to solve this problem. Now that I have the power to do my part, I will try to prevent the massacres of Muggles like those of decades ago. ”

"You're right, Dumbledore won't accept your plan. Hermione was smart, and she knew what Ryan was going to do with a second thought. "I'll go with you, too. ”

At this point, Hermione saw Ryan, who wanted to refute, palm him up, and motioned for him to finish. "As I said last time, I don't want you to be alone when you're in danger again. Besides, I've been preparing in this direction for a long time, so it's time to play. ”

"-Okay. Ryan thought for a moment and agreed to Hermione's request to follow him out, on the one hand, Hermione was not helpless now, at least she could make sure she was out of the way when facing one or two Death Eaters. In battle, having such a comrade-in-arms with no low combat power can help a lot. On the other hand, Hermione's personality is also the kind of person who will devote herself to the past once she decides on the direction. And now, now that she's determined to fight, Ryan decides it's better not to try to stop her.

"I'll ask Penelope to help you with your ticket and formalities. Ryan concluded. Penelope is now the manager of the joke shop, as she is the best of all the people she hired last time, and she is more reliable. As a hemp wizard, she gave up her career at the Ministry of Magic after discovering that the Ministry of Magic was not friendly to people of her origin, and chose to become a clerk in a joke shop.

Of course, Ryan and the others announced that the two of them were going on a ski trip to a foreign country. This naturally aroused Harry's envy, but he soon needed no envy, as Ron told him that Mrs. Weasley had invited Harry to the Burrow for Christmas.

In short, everyone is looking forward to the Christmas holidays now.
