Chapter Eighty-Three: Alone
He couldn't sit still, and if he was right, he would be in big trouble! He had to check it out as soon as possible...... But there is still more than half an hour before the end of the exam.
While Professor Binns was napping in the podium, in the truest sense of the word, he looked back at his companions. Hermione was flipping through her exam questions, which she seemed to have done a dozen minutes ago; Ron and Harry, on the other hand, put their faces on the table, rolling around for a while, and the parchment was casually placed on one side of the table, and a large blank space could be seen on itβthis was everything that could be done, and the rest was up to the Lord.
It seems that the only one who hasn't finished writing is Parvati, who is still trying to wield her quill, and that answering artifact will really be a waste of time.
But where do I have any patience to wait for her?
So, Brandi, who had made up his mind, didn't think about it, and stood up in a hurry......
People all over the world were blinded by his actions, and nearly a hundred pairs of eyes stared at him curiously. I saw that he stuffed the test paper into his schoolbag with a rude attitude, grabbed the parchment full of answers, and was about to rush to the podium. How halal is that indomitable momentum...... It's like a frustrated teenager who is stimulated by exam questions to doubt his life, and is determined to take revenge on this cold and cruel society.
Professor Binns, who was still squinting and enjoying his long afterlife, had never seen such a situation that he even forgot to pull himself out of the podium in a panic.
Is it so difficult to get the exam questions you came out this time?
"Eh, this classmate, you're-"
"Brandi Barton!" Brandi's face at the moment was full of hideousness for some reason, his facial features were twisted together, and a few words were squeezed out between his teeth - "Professor, I'm in a hurry!" Hurry! β
The expression that gritted his teeth was as if Professor Binns dared not let him go, and he would immediately shoot on the spot......
Professor Binns was almost immediately stunned, waving his hand and stammering. "Alright, Mr. Longbottom, you're going to have to hold your back! The answer sheet is left and you can go. β
He had apparently forgotten that his upper body was still on top of the lectern, and as Brandy's hand passed through his body without hindrance, Professor Binns widened his eyes and let out a long moan. The pain with a soothing voice sounded extremely strange, and everyone shivered in unison, and the originally stuffy classroom seemed to cool down all of a sudden.
The mistaken Brandi almost couldn't control the wonderful expression on his face...... He quickly turned his head, winked at Harry who was staring at him, and then turned and walked out.
The next minute, the thoughtful companions glanced at each other, and they stood up in unison, and the sound of pushing and pulling the chairs became a loud - "Professor, we are also in a hurry!" β
β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦β¦
"Hahaha~ Funny me, Ron, your acting skills are really bad, and you're still in a hurry, your eyes are shining and you're obviously in a hurry, right!" They hurried into the hallway under Professor Binns' surprised gaze and walked towards Brandi, who was waiting at the gate, whispering mercilessly as Parvati laughed as they went.
"Who cares, Professor Binns has a goldfish-like memory anyway, and you must not have seen the look on Neville's face when he was called Brandi Longbottom. I swear he'll forget that someone had just walked out of the exam room before the exam was over! β
"But Parvati, are you really okay, you didn't seem to finish writing when I first came out?" In contrast, Harry was more worried about Parvati's results. But the other party doesn't seem to care at all.
"Don't worry, I was actually drawing at that time~ The test paper or something has already been done! As long as my sister is next to me~ I am invincible! β
"Well, we're more than half an hour early...... Hermione's face was full of impatience for the good exam to be interrupted, "I didn't even have time to check it a third time!" I hope he really has something to do, or I'll bite him to death...... Huh, Brandi? How do you ......"
When they saw Brandi's face, the cheerfulness and ease of the end of the exam disappeared in a flash.
The expression on Brandi's face was full of panic. "Come with me, we need to find Hagrid!"
"Why?"
They hurried through the gate to the meadow of the castle. "Don't you think it's strange?"
Brandi ran down the grass slope without stopping, "Almost everyone knows that Hagrid likes dragons, and a stranger who drinks and plays cards with him at a bar just happens to have a dragon egg?" How upright is it to choose to take a contraband and drink and play cards in the wizard's village? And do you remember, Hagrid said at the time......"
"That stranger seems to be eager to lose that dragon egg to him!" Hermione, who was the quickest to react, let out an exclamation, followed by Harry. Their faces were now exactly the same color as Brandy's.
"But even if we deliberately gave Hagrid a dragon egg, what does it have to do with us running to him now? Noble has been sent away, huh? Ron asked, puzzled, "This matter is over." β
"Yes...... Nobber's problem has been solved, but the Philosopher's Stone is not. β
Hagrid was sitting leisurely in the sun on a large chair outside the cabin, his teeth lying quietly at his feet.
"Good afternoon, Harry, is the exam over?" Seeing the figures of several of them, Hagrid smiled and waved his hand. "Would you like a cup of tea, Dumbledore sent me a few packs last time, and they are said to be a rarity from the east."
"Oh~ that's awesome... Poof, hmm...... I mean, no, we're in a hurry. Ron was curious to have a drink, but Brandi stabbed him in the waist.
"Hagrid!" Harry asked, "Do you remember what happened the day you won Noble?" How did you start drinking and playing cards together? β
"Hmm...... Isn't this normal? Hagrid patted his belly nonchalantly, "I went into the bar and ordered a butterbeer, and sat around at the bar - there wasn't much in the bar that day, and I didn't have any acquaintances to talk to." Then he leaned over and talked to me a few words. β
"Do you remember what this man looked like?"
"I don't know, he said that he had heavy hair loss and refused to take off his head. But that's nothing new at the Hog's Head Bar, you know, the customers there are usually quite eccentric. β
As he said this, he noticed that Harry's faces were surprised and uneasy, and he couldn't help but raise his eyebrows in surprise. "Why, you know the man I speak of?"
Hermione frowned, trying to think about the question to ask. "So, Hagrid, what did you talk to him about? Is there any mention of Hogwarts? β
"That's probably mentioned, after all, I can't talk to him all the time, it's quite warm at that time." Hagrid frowned and recalled, "That stranger was obviously not a regular at the bar, and the customers there knew me for most or nothing...... He asked me what I did, and then asked if there were any dangerous or rare animals in the hunting grounds...... He's curious about it, and he seems to be particularly interested in unicorns, he's never seen anything like that... I gave him a science update on the unicorns in our Forbidden Forest... And then ...... Oh, he said he had a dragon egg. β
Brandi only felt a loud bang in his ears, and his head went blank.
No wonder the dark shadow was able to find the unicorn, a place that ordinary people would not approach at all, not even a road!
However, Hagrid didn't stop there, and he was clearly full of talk. "I was so excited. I asked him what he was going to do with the egg...... He said he wanted to get some Galleons, but I didn't have much money on me at the time, so I played with him, and it was a bit of luck that day... After only four or five plays, he was already losing to the point of being a pants, so he had to give me the dragon egg, but he said that he wanted me to promise that I could deal with this dragon, and I couldn't let it run away like that. Of course I have this confidence, so I said to him, I can even train a three-headed dog to be obedient, what is a dragon? β
"Hagrid, doesn't he seem to be particularly interested in the three-headed dog." With the lesson of stealing white, Harry tried his best to make his tone seem like a casual question.
"Sure, how many dogs with three heads have you ever seen? He was very curious at the time, so I told him that Lu Wei was actually very coaxing, as long as he knew how to make it settle down a little bit - like put some music? When it sleeps, it can't wake up when the sky fallsβhey! Hagrid had a horrified look on his face. I shouldn't have told you this! Feed! Come back, where are you going? β
They were running as hard as they could, and they didn't even have time to say a word along the way. They plunged headlong into the foyer and began to climb the stairs out of breath.
"I've been to Dumbledore's office...... Whew. Damn, it's the eighth floor! Brandi struggled to climb up the handrail of the staircase, gasping for air, he hadn't done such intense physical labor in a long time. But looking at his companions who were slumped on the steps in various positions behind him, he seemed to be the one with a strong body?
"Okay...... Then stay here first, and I'll goβ"
"What are you going to do?"
Professor McGonagall came down from above, carrying a large stack of papers in her arms.
"We need to find Professor Dumbledore!" Brandy's expression was like a savior, and he stumbled over to Professor McGonagall. "We're in big trouble. Can you take us to him? β
"Trouble?" Professor McGonagall savored the word, and she suspiciously swept over the salted fish below. "Are you failing the course? Porter, Weasley, Parvati...... Hiss~ No, how could Miss Granger be hooked up? She scored 99 points for her Transfiguration! β
As she spoke, she was amused by her thoughts.
"Don't be nervous, Barton, Professor Binns is very loose in grading papers, and it seems that I have only failed a few students in all my years of teaching - and that is their own fault, and they can't even fill in the papers, and Professor Binns really has no place to give them points. Moreover...... Professor Dumbledore can't help you now. "She seemed to be in a good mood, and even revealed a little bit of Professor Binns's secrets." He had left Hogwarts ten minutes earlier, and had received an urgent letter from the Ministry of Magic - he had something to do in London, probably in a day or two. β
What the! Dumbledore gone? At this time?
Brandi almost fainted.
"But, Professor, this matter is about the Philosopher's Stone!"
Bang~
Professor McGonagall didn't expect to hear the term, and the paper in her arms fell to the ground with a thud.
