Chapter 16: Cottage Gossip
"Hagrid, you're pretty good at making tea. Pen ~ Fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info" said, Chu Nan took a cup of hot tea in front of him and drank it all, "It's really enjoyable to be able to drink a cup of hot tea in such a cold weather." ”
Hagrid, who was a neighbor, looked a little embarrassed, and to be honest, his bachelor's cottage was no cleaner than a small garbage dump, and the whole room was only a little footing by the fire.
"Oh, by the way, this is the rock crust cake I made, try it. ”
Looking at these cake rolls that were as hard as stones Chu Nan was really embarrassed to refuse, so he could only pick a piece that looked the smallest, and when Hagrid looked at Chu Nan expectantly, he only heard outside the door:
"Bang bang bang!"
Oh, thank goodness, the moment Hagrid turned to leave, Chu Nan immediately hid this "cute little snack" in his coat pocket. Chu Nan was sure that even if it was soaked in piping hot strong tea, this thing would not be soft and glutinous at all.
"Hello, Hagrid!"
Hagrid looked happy to see the three little ones outside the door. In fact, before Chu Nan moved in, Hagrid had been alone, and even the rest of the faculty looked down on him and distanced themselves from him.
Of course, Chu Nan also knocked on the side, and after a drink, Hagrid confided in some of the past.
In fact, in addition to his origin and bloodline, the reason for this result is more important than a secret incident that happened back then. After that incident, Hagrid was not only broken his wand, expelled from school, but also nearly sent to Azkaban, which is the purgatory of all wizards.
In the end, it was Dumbledore who saved Hagrid and made him a Warden of the Forbidden Forest, which is why Hagrid was so loyal to Dumbledore.
As for the terrible and secret incident that took place that year, even though Hagrid was already drunk, he still kept his mouth shut. Chu Nan didn't have the fun of revealing other people's scars, so he didn't have it.
To get back to the point, Hagrid, who was severely suppressed and ostracized, had no friends and could only be with the magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest, so it was very happy to see Harry and them come to the door to find him.
But are these little ones really just coming to visit him?
。。。。。。
"Please come in, please come in. ”
Seeing the three little guys rushing in, Chu Nan took the initiative to say hello, "Hello, please sit down, just try Hagrid's craftsmanship." As he spoke, Chu Nan pointed to the rock skin cake on the table in front of him.
Hagrid closed the door and returned to the fire, "Sit down, sit as you please, as if you were at home." ”
After the three little guys said hello to Chu Nan, they found a place to sit down, which made the already small space even more crowded. Luckily, Hagrid's chair and table were designed for his own body type, so the three little ones huddled together in a large chair looked extra cozy.
"Come, try my baked crust cake, I think you'll love it. Oh yes, and the strong tea I brewed. ”
Seeing that Hagrid spared no effort to recommend his own dim sum, Chu Nan subconsciously touched his pocket, this guy really has the confidence of a fan.
The three little guys picked up the hard snacks, but they really didn't know how to eat them, and the atmosphere was a little awkward for a while.
"By the way, I haven't congratulated you on your victory in Quidditch, especially since you, Harry, haven't fallen into your father's prestige. ”
Harry also looked proud to hear Chu Nan's compliments, "If there had been no accident with my broomstick, I think I would have caught the Golden Snitch a long time ago." ”
Chu Nan smiled awkwardly, at this time, he shouldn't have said "It's all luck" or "I just did what I should have done, and victory belongs to everyone." "Or something?
Sure enough, it is a child of Western countries, who never knows what modesty is.
"It's Snape playing tricks," Ron explained, "and Hermione and I see that he's been staring at you, and he's cursing your broomstick. ”
Hermione nodded knowingly, and then recounted the whole process of her "saving" Harry.
"All this," said Hagrid, who had no idea what had happened in the stands. "Why would Snape do such a thing?"
Harry and the three looked at each other, not knowing what to tell him, but in the end Harry decided to tell him the "truth".
"I revealed some of his secrets," he said, "and he tried to get around the three-headed dog on Halloween, but was bitten by it." We thought Snape must have tried to steal the dog's guard. ”
Hagrid put down the teapot in his hand, "You know about Maomao?"
"Maomao?"
"And the monster has a name?"
Looking at Hermione and Ron's sentences, Chu Nan also wanted to add a sentence - "Don't you think it's a bit hasty to call a three-headed dog of hell this name?"
Hagrid was upset to hear Hermione call Maomao a monster.
"Of course it has a name, he's my pet, I bought it from a Greek in a pub last year, and I lent it to Dumbledore's guards......"
"Guarding what?" said Harry, looking eagerly at Hagrid.
"Well, don't ask me any more questions," Hagrid said crudely, "don't ask any more questions, it's top secret. ”
"But Hagrid, Snape wanted to steal it. ”
Seeing Harry's words, Hagrid suddenly had a headache.
"Don't talk nonsense, Professor Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, so he wouldn't do that kind of thing. ”
However, this argument was not convincing, and Miss Granger, as a thinker, made her final arguments.
"Whether he's a teacher or not, he's just chanting spells! I've read all the books on curses, and when casting spells, you have to keep your eyes on your target, not even for a moment, and Snape doesn't blink at all, I can see very clearly. ”
"I'm telling you, you're wrong!" Hagrid said angrily, "I don't know what Harry's broomstick is all about, but Snape wouldn't want to murder a student. Listen to me, you- the three of you are interfering in something that has nothing to do with you, it's dangerous! You'd better forget the dog, forget what it's guarding, it's about the ...... between Professor Dumbledore and Professor Nicolame."
"Nicolmae?"
Hagrid knew he was speechless and immediately covered his mouth with his hand.
"Oh, I shouldn't have said it, I shouldn't have said it. For a moment, Hagrid looked frustrated.
"Nicolame?, who is Professor Nicolamet? Do you know what?"
Hearing the three little guys bring the topic to Chu Nan, Hagrid immediately became nervous, because he was afraid that Chu Nan would reveal something, and then these children would meddle in those dangerous things.
It's just that Chu Nan is destined to disappoint Harry.
"Sorry, it's the first time I've heard that name either. Also, I think you should seriously consider Hagrid's suggestion, because you are too weak at this stage. ”
In the end, the three left dejectedly.
After Harry and the three left, Chu Nan quickly said goodbye, but before leaving, the enthusiastic Hagrid filled him with a bag full of rock skin cakes, and it was estimated that he would be able to eat it until the New Year.
