56. Humble wooden house
"McGoss, Ron and I are going to Hagrid's this afternoon, can we go together?" Harry, who was eating, said suddenly.
As soon as he said this, McGoth realized that he hadn't been to Hagrid since he came to Hogwarts. It was time to rub some prestige with Hagrid, so he no longer refused to nod.
"Hermione, are you going with you?"
"No, I just borrowed a book from the library today, and if I don't hurry up and return it tomorrow, it will be difficult to borrow a book from Mrs. Pince next time." Hermione regretfully returned.
"It's a shame that the three of us went together that night."
"Seriously, I can't figure out why the school would have Mrs. Pince as the librarian, she thinks we're thieves or something, and it's as hard to borrow books from her as it is to walk past Peeves safely." Ron subconsciously complained when he heard Hermione's words.
"You're all right, since the last time I was there, as long as I dared to walk in front of the library, Mrs. Pince would stare at me with the eyes of an enemy, let alone borrow books, I can't even enter the library now."
"You deserve it, who made you say it so much last time." Hermione had no sympathy for what was going on with McGoss. Harry also knew what happened last time, and laughed all at once.
"What a laugh, I'm right. But that's not the way to go, I have to find a way to get her to stop targeting me. He put down his knife and fork and held his chin in one hand.
"McGoss, don't do anything out of the ordinary, if you provoke Mrs. Pins again, I guess we Gryffindors will have a hard time borrowing books from the library in the future." Hermione looked nervously at the thoughtful McGoss.
"Ann, Ann, I'm not stupid, I'm wondering if I should send her something so that she can relieve too much of me."
"McGoss, I think you might as well think about something else if you have time to think about this." This merciless sentence actually came from Harry's mouth.
"Hey, I don't believe it yet, you wait, I'll definitely find a way to change her attitude towards me."
"As long as you don't do those weird things, we'll see." Ron replied nonchalantly. Hermione simply ignored the conversation, believing it was McGoth dreaming.
"By the way, Ron, I suddenly remembered a question."
"What's the problem?"
"Isn't your brother Bill working in Africa? What's in the Egyptian pyramids? Is it really the tomb of the pharaohs, as Muggle legend has said? His words attracted all the friends who were eating around.
"To be honest, I don't know much, and Bill rarely talks to us about his work, as if there's something in Africa that needs to be kept secret." Looking at the disappointed looks of the people around him, he smiled smugly, "However, I still know a little." Muggles did say yes, but what they didn't know was that the main builders of the pyramids were wizards. ”
"Wizard?"
"yes, otherwise do you think they can build so many pyramids? There seem to be several reasons why the wizards over there built the pyramids, the simplest being dwellings, laboratories and the like. Saying that, he suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously: "It is said that some pyramids are actually a magic item, as long as there is a strong magic power, it can control it, and its power can even kill gods, of course, this is just a legend." ”
"The legend is really unfounded." Hermione gave him a disdainful look. Ron pouted and ignored her.
Everyone became interested in the wizards on the African side, and kept asking Ron about Africa, he was just a half-ass, he went to play a few times, and was soon speechless when asked.
"Are your families going to Africa this Christmas holiday?"
"Oh, no, I mean, I'm probably going to stay in school."
"That's a shame, if you're going to Africa next time, remember to take me with you."
"No problem. And Harry and Hermione. I'll call you. ”
"Thank you." Harry said happily. Hermione also gave him a surprised look and whispered thanks.
"Alright, now that we've eaten, let's go to Hagrid early."
"Goodbye, Hermione."
"Goodbye."
The three of them left the castle and walked in the fields outside the school.
"Actually, I think the school should offer a few outdoor courses." Magos said with emotion as he looked at the endless landscape.
"Outdoor lessons? Organize our games? Harry looked at him puzzled.
"Games? What are you kidding, there's no way a wizarding school will have a game course. Ron exclaimed in disbelief.
"No, not what Harry thinks of as outing interactions or anything like that."
"What's that?" Harry asked, puzzled, according to his experience in Muggle schools, the so-called outdoor class was the teacher playing games with the students.
"Well, it's hard to explain, you should think of it as an expedition or something, like Hagrid taking the senior students to the Forbidden Forest or something during this time."
"What kind of expedition is that in these fields?" Ron muttered, and McGoth didn't explain, he was refining his idea.
"Harry, have you ever played a computer game?"
"Computer games? What is a PC game? Muggle games? "Ron was always curious about things in the Muggle world, and it is worth mentioning that the walkie-talkie that McGoth brought to be responsible for contact had already been broken by him.
"Ron, it's not a game, computers are a very advanced thing in the Muggle world. McGoss, why do you ask this, I haven't played it, but I've seen Dudley play. ”
"It's nothing, it's just curious to ask, how about I give you a computer this Christmas."
"Yes, yes." Harry stopped Ron, whose eyes lit up.
"Magos, that's too expensive, and we don't need Muggle stuff."
"Maybe." He smiled, neither saying no, nor insisting on sending.
Harry felt a little unable to understand Magos's thoughts, since he was here to learn magic, why did he have to bring things from the Muggle world in, it didn't work at all, except for the wizard he invented, of course, that was very interesting. As they walked through the fields and approached the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's cabin appeared before them.
"Alright, we're here."
Hagrid didn't live in a big place, but he made a large circle with a fence, and when he entered the fence, Magos saw some items outside the door that might be what he needed, a stone bow as tall as an adult and a thick plank larger than the door, which he guessed might be his shield, and not far away were some very old things for growing crops, and some oversized clothes and stuff like that, and then on the side it might be the crops he planted, some plants that looked like corn were growing very well.
Harry walked over to the wooden door that was tall for the three of them and knocked.
Hagrid, who was full of beard, first opened a crack that was relatively small for him and glanced at them.
"Hi Harry, hi Ron, you've brought new friends."
"Hi, Hagrid." *2。
"Hello, Hagrid, I'm Magos. Will, please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting. ”
"Oh no, don't be so polite, I know you, I noticed when I got out of the car, Harry, they often talk about you, McGoth and Hermione, that you are both very smart." Hagrid opened the door wide.
A huge dog stuck its head out from behind him, baring its fangs and staring at Magos fiercely.
"Hey, Toothy, shut up, it's a new friend." Hagrid patted the dog's head.
"Don't be afraid of Magos, the tooth will be friendly." Ron smiled and walked up and touched its head. Tooth looked happy and threw Ron down and licked his face hard.
"Oh, it's really friendly." Magos and Harry covered their mouths and laughed.
"Go down, Yaya, go down, I'm mad if you do this again." Ron grunted and pushed his teeth.
Toothy whined and ran away. Ron pulled his face up and wiped the saliva from his face with his hands.
"It stinks."
"Hahaha."
Magos smiled and looked inside a little, the wooden house was very simple and small, it could not even be called a house, it was not an exaggeration to call it a wooden room, it was a little messy, there was a ceiling overhead, on which hung some cooked food such as ham, pheasant, wild duck, etc., and in the middle of the room there was a burning brazier, which was the only source of light here. There was a copper kettle boiling water on the brazier, and in the corner of the wall was a large bed made of rags.
"Hagrid, the conditions here are so bad, why didn't Hogwarts even give you a decent quilt." Seeing this, McGoth sincerely cried out for Hagrid, he knew from the movie novel that the conditions here were not good, but when you actually saw it, it was unbelievably shabby.
"Oh, thank you, McGoss. You're such a good boy. Hagrid's voice choked up as he heard him.
Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed, as Hagrid's best friends hadn't even paid attention to this, and they both stood up and expressed their anger at the treatment of Hogwarts, and wanted to go to the Headmaster to complain about it.
Huge tears fell from Hagrid's big eyes, and he hugged the three of them hard, "You are all good boys, I am content to stay at Hogwarts, I have made some unforgivable mistakes, I am to blame, you can't trouble Headmaster Dumbledore with these things." ”
"The sea... Hagrid... You... Can you first... Let go first, I... We listen... Yours. Harry's face flushed.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm so impressed, I didn't mean to." Hagrid looked down and saw the three boiled crab faces and quickly let go, apologizing.
"It's all right, Hagrid, what mistake did you make to make you voluntarily accept this punishment." Harry asked puzzled.
"Don't ask me, Harry, don't ask me, I don't want to think about that anymore." Hagrid covered his face and wept bitterly.
"Okay, okay, let's not ask, Hagrid."
"Thank you." Hagrid said in a low voice.
"By the way, Hagrid, what are you looking for us to do today?" Ron saw that Hagrid's mood was better, and quickly distracted him.
"Oh, by the way, I'm inviting you over for afternoon tea today, I'm sorry." As he spoke, he pulled out four very large cups from the table in the other corner. I put some leaves of unknown plants and other things in it, and I picked up the boiling copper kettle, brewed it, and handed it to them.
"Thanks, Hagrid, is it tea in there?" Magos asked, looking at the dense leaves inside.
"Of course, I picked it out of the Forbidden Forest, it's great, Dumbledore often comes over and asks me for some, he says it stabilizes the magic, but I never felt it." Hagrid seemed puzzled that Dumbledore would make such a low-level mistake.
"Oh, I'm going to try it, thank you so much for your hospitality."
"You're welcome, if you like it, give it, get something to eat." Hagrid happily placed a rock crust cake in front of each of them.
