Although it was only his first day at school, Alan kept his pace and went to the library after dinner to enrich himself.

The newly opened library was deserted, with only a few people scattered around the huge library.

After politely greeting Mrs. Pacings, Alan caught a glimpse of Hermione, who was buried in a book piled high in the sky.

From Alan's point of view, Hermione, with unkempt hair, resembles a fluffy cat with her head rubbing around in the stacks of books.

He couldn't help but smile and walked straight to Hermione's side.

"May I sit down?" asked Allen.

"Of course, feel free. ”

Hermione looked up and saw that it was Allen, and smiled.

Alan looked at Hermione in surprise, her eyes were red and swollen, apparently crying bitterly. His eyes were bloodshot, his face was pale, and he was haggard.

"Didn't you have a good rest this holiday?" Alan couldn't help but lower his voice, "I remember that before the holiday, your homework was already done!"

Allen's eyes slid over the stacks of books on the table.

"Prohibition of Animal Breeding and Testing Order", "Prohibition of Trade in Articles", "Wizengamot Charter of Powers, ......"

Alan flipped through the dusty files one by one, and instantly understood why Hermione was busy.

"You want to help Hagrid win the Dangerous Animals Committee lawsuit?" Alan asked, but his tone was affirmative.

Hermione's eyes showed a glint of admiration: "It's worthy of Allen, I guessed the reason for the matter at once." Yes, I want to help Hagrid so that he can successfully defend Buckbeak. ”

Alan looked at Hermione and admired from the bottom of her heart, what a wonderful girl!

"What about Harry and Ron?" Alan hadn't forgotten that Hermione refused to go on vacation with him because she wanted to be with Harry.

Hermione bit her lip, her eyes reddening.

She felt that Harry and Ron might never want to be friends with her again because of the firebolts. Now, the only one who can be called a friend is Allen!

Her strength and defensiveness were all in vain when she met Allen's caring eyes.

"Ah, it's my fault, I shouldn't have mentioned them. With what I know about Harry and Ron, it's clear that these two guys won't have the patience to look at such a boring tome. Alan patted the stacked books in the air.

"Hermione, you are truly the hardest-working, most patient little witch I have ever met. Alan exclaimed.

"Alan, I'm just a little clever, and I still don't have a clue. Hermione wiped the corners of her eyes and said with some embarrassment.

"Well, Hermione, I wonder if you'd like to hear what this friend of mine thinks?" Alan hesitated, organizing the language.

It seems that Hermione has been busy with Hagrid's affairs all the holidays, and what he is going to say next will make her sad?

However, he couldn't bear to watch Hermione work so hard, but in the end, the result was unsatisfactory.

"Of course, Alan, I'd love to hear your thoughts. You are the smartest, wisest, and most knowledgeable little wizard I've ever met. ”

Hermione smiled mischievously, revealing her two front teeth.

She seemed to realize all at once, and hurriedly covered her mouth with her hands.

Alan thought that Hermione was very cute, and the hesitation just now flew out of the clouds, and teased: "You don't say that because I'm the first in the grade." ”

"Of course not. Hermione felt that talking to Alan was always so easy and enjoyable, which was very different from the feeling she had when she was with Harry and Ron.

Harry and Ron always needed her urging and her help, but Eren was always helping her unconditionally.

"Actually, Hermione, I think it's very unwise for you to spend so much energy on these files. Alan said.

Hermione looked up and listened intently, she restrained her desire to argue, she knew that Eren was not a man of purpose.

"First of all, you are not well versed in the various laws and regulations, and secondly, even if you put a lot of effort into figuring them out, you may not be able to write a moving defense......

Alan looked at Hermione's expression and saw that she was looking at him intently, without a hint of hurt.

So, Allen continued: "Third, even if your defense is very well written, can you make sure that Hagrid remembers the words completely, and expresses them clearly in an emotional situation?"

Obviously, Hagrid, who has the blood of a giant, is less capable of controlling his emotions.

Hermione pondered Alan's words seriously, and although they didn't sound good, the truth in them was irrefutable.

"Hermione, you're so busy, I'm afraid it won't do you any good except to wear yourself out. Alan said.

"So what can I do? I don't know how I can help Hagrid. Hermione was a little sad.

Alan gently reassured, "Actually, you have done a good job, at least you should be much better than Harry and Ron. ”

"Still, it doesn't work, does it?" Hermione bit her lip.

She didn't know what else she could do to help Hagrid other than research and write a defense.

"Perhaps, we can hire a defense lawyer for Hagrid. Alan suggested.

"That's a great idea!" Hermione's eyes lit up.

A dedicated lawyer not only helps Hagrid with his defense, but also accompanies Hagrid in court before the Dangerous Animal Committee.

"It's going to take a lot of money, though, Hagrid...... There shouldn't be that much money. Hermione worried.

"I think, as a friend, I'm willing to support Hagrid through this. Alan touched his nose and said generously.

"Oh, Alan, you're so nice. I also have some gold galleons here, not much, but ......

Hermione was a little ashamed, she knew that her little gold Galleon might not even be enough to hire a lawyer for a week.

"Absolutely, just do your best. Alan blinked, not refusing the little witch's kindness.

"Harry and Ron, though, don't talk to them. You know Ron's family background. Harry has money, but that money still needs to support him until he graduates!"

Hermione nodded, she felt that Alan had thought it through.

The next day, classes resumed. On this cold, damp January morning, the last thing people want is to spend two hours on the field.

Unexpectedly, in order to make them happy, Hagrid made a bonfire full of salamanders.

This class was particularly interesting, as the students collected firewood leaves and kept the fire burning, and the lizards that loved the flame jumped around in the crackling firewood.
