104. Secret leakage
Even at Christmas, Hagrid's cooking skills did not improve, and he was very steady in his cooking, with no signs of bottoming out.
Faced with a table with Hagrid's characteristics, the four guests were all frowning, and in order to avoid eating Hagrid's dishes head-on, everyone could only desperately find a topic to chat.
Harry Potter wanted to talk about Quidditch, but seeing that Slytherin's Rosho was sitting across from him, he couldn't speak.
Opinions on Slytherin's big win over Gryffindor were mixed - the Slytherins certainly thought it was a decent win and the score didn't have any water, but Gryffindor felt that Slytherin was clearly cheating. You must know that Comet 180 is unlikely to be faster than Light Wheel 2000 in any way.
Hermione, who was sitting next to Harry, wanted to talk about studying, but she dismissed the idea when she saw Roshi.
Before Rosho joined Hogwarts, Hermione was the best student in her first year, and Hermione was first in all classes except flying lessons.
But since Rosho joined Hogwarts, Hermione has become no longer special, with Potions, Charms, History of Magic, and Astronomy...... Luo Xiu's performance in these courses was impeccable, and his grades were on par with Hermione, and in most of the courses, both of them were able to tie for first place with perfect scores, and in some of the more difficult courses, Luo Xiu's test scores even surpassed Hermione.
This was tantamount to a humiliating blow to Hermione, who had a lot of self-esteem.
Originally, Hagrid's feast made Hermione sick to her stomach, and Luo Xiu, who was sitting opposite, made her even more unappetizing.
In this way, the burden of awkward conversation falls on Ron.
Ron really didn't want to eat the food Hagrid offered, so he took a bite to eat.
"Ahem, do you know the forbidden area on the fourth floor of Hogwarts? Do you know what's in the restricted area? ”
Ron, who used to be cold as soon as he spoke, threw a bombshell this time for the first time, and everyone looked at him with wide eyes in surprise after he said this.
Hagrid obviously knew the answer to this question, and he quickly interrupted: "Ron, why are you mentioning this?" The no-go zone on the fourth floor is not for students to discuss, so let's try my potatoes! ”
Ron watched Hagrid drop a piece of burned, blackened, charred potato on his plate, and he had to keep talking, because once he shut up, he would have to eat the potato that wasn't a potato.
"You don't know, do you? But I know! Ron said loudly.
Harry was surprised and asked, "Ron, have you been to the fourth floor of the restricted area?" Why haven't I heard you say that? ”
Hermione looked curious, "Tell me, Ron, tell me a little bit more about the restricted area." "—because then they wouldn't have to eat the food Hagrid offered.
Ron hurriedly said, "Once my mouse was spotted and lost, I couldn't find it everywhere, and guess what?" I actually saw it in the restricted area on the fourth floor! This little guy is so bold that he really slipped into the restricted area...... I was standing outside the restricted area and watching it, and it was hiding inside and watching me. ”
Hearing more and more about the "forbidden zone", Hagrid felt a little uncomfortable.
"Kids, let's change the subject, try the salad I made, and change the topic to a more cheerful one, like the magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest, or the mysterious and cute dragon."
Unfortunately, no one paid attention to Hagrid, and everyone pretended not to hear what he said.
Even Luo Xiu listened to Ron's description with interest, even though he knew exactly what was in the restricted area on the fourth floor.
That's when Hermione asked, "And what happened later?" Ron, did you break into the box and save Spotted? ”
Harry frowned, "I bet you wouldn't dare do that. ”
"But that's exactly what I did! I actually did break into the exclusion zone! Ron said proudly, "I really broke into the penalty area for Spotted, and I saw a very horrible big guy, guess what I saw?" ”
"Say it! Ron, don't sell it! Harry urged.
Hermione also shook his arm: "Tell us quickly!" ”
Ron took a deep breath and then announced the answer: "I saw an ugly, vicious monster!" It has three heads, each with a large mouth of blood! It's very ferocious, it's huge, it's about the height of a story! It's literally the embodiment of the devil! ”
"Oh, Ron, please don't say that about Louvy......" Hagrid muttered under his breath, "it's just an ordinary three-headed dog, not as vicious as you say, not as big as you say, in fact, it's just bigger." ”
"Bigger? It's at least ten times more than teeth! Ron gestured exaggeratedly, reaching out and pointing at his teeth crouching on the edge of the couch.
Yaya let out a low roar of grievance, as if he didn't want to get involved in this dispute.
"Perhaps, it's bigger than a tooth." Hagrid whispered, "But it's docile, at least to me, and trust me, it's a kind dog." ”
"Come on." Ron disagreed, shaking his head, "It almost tore my spots to shreds." ”
Hearing this, Harry suddenly realized, "So you came back one night with Spotted, and said you almost lost Spotted, that night, right?" ”
"Yes." Ron nodded, "Spotted almost became his dog food." ”
Hagrid, on the other hand, spoke firmly for the three-headed dog, Louwe: "It's not as ferocious as it seems, it's just doing its duty." If it weren't for Dumbledore's guarding of the Philosopher's Stone, it wouldn't have ......"
Before he could finish speaking, Luo Xiu hurriedly and quietly kicked Hagrid - Hagrid was really distracted when he spoke, and directly revealed the secret of the Philosopher's Stone.
It's a pity that Luo Xiu's reminder was too late, and Harry and they clearly heard the words "Philosopher's Stone".
"What? Is it the legendary Philosopher's Stone that Lu Wei is guarding? Harry asked, shocked.
"Nicol Lemay's Philosopher's Stone is in the fourth floor exclusion zone?" Hermione was even more shocked.
Hagrid hurriedly waved his hand frantically, shook his head and said, "No, no, no!" You heard me wrong, I'm not talking about the Philosopher's Stone, and Lu Wei wasn't there to guard anything. ”
"But you're talking about the Philosopher's Stone." Ron said bluntly, "We all heard it. ”
"I drank before and started talking nonsense." Hagrid was very angry with himself, frowned and said, "All right, now I order everyone to eat quietly and stop talking, you should not have heard of this matter, and forget about it after tonight!" ”
Seeing that Hagrid was angry, everyone didn't talk about it, but Hermione quietly glanced at Luo Xiu when she lowered her head to eat.
While the others weren't paying attention, Hermione whispered to Harry Potter: "Oh no, the Slytherin boy knows the whereabouts of the Philosopher's Stone, he's been coveting the Philosopher's Stone all along, and now I'm afraid he's going to steal it." ”
