190 First meeting Harry

Knock knock... With each step, the ground seemed to tremble, and you could see what a big man was coming. Broken Chen looked at the black shadow approaching, and his height was at least three meters.

"Hagrid? It turned out to be him. "Suddenly.

Those who have seen Harry Potter are definitely no strangers to this big man named Hagrid, as a hybrid of a human and a giant, Hagrid not only has a giant-like burly body, but also has a normal human mind. He is not as fierce and belligerent as ordinary giants, and his personality is quite friendly and easy-going, but his brain is not very bright, and he is a little rough to describe it simply.

No, because he was walking so loudly that he accidentally knocked over the glass of a wizard, causing the latter to throw a few blows at him.

"Hagrid, can't you walk lightly? You've spilled all my wine. ”

"I'm sorry! Mr. Grace, I didn't mean to, and I'll pay you for it. Hagrid quickly apologized, his voice like a blower, almost blowing the emaciated wizard on his head.

The barkeeper, the white-haired old man, was no longer surprised by the situation, and walked over with a new glass of butterbeer, and said to Hagrid as he cleaned up, "Hagrid, go about your business, I'll just come here." ”

"Thanks, Tom." Hagrid thanked him and turned to walk up to Broken Chen, "Hello, are you Mr. Drake?" I'm Rubeus? Hagrid, the ranger of Hogwarts, Headmaster Dumbledore has asked me to wait for you here. ”

Standing up close, Broken Chen could see Hagrid's appearance clearly. He had long, unkempt hair, a long beard that was also messy, and he was wearing what looked like some kind of linen robe, with patches in many places. With a height of more than three meters and an unusually strong figure, it was like a hill to get there, and Broken Chen needed to raise his head to meet his face.

"Yes, I'm Drake, and I've just come here from New York." Broken Chen replied with a smile. He also took the initiative to extend his hand.

Hagrid suddenly shook Broken Chen's hand with excitement on his face, and said excitedly: "I heard from Headmaster Dumbledore, you are a disciple of the great wizard Mr. Balthazar!" It's a pleasure to be here at Hogwarts! ”

Hagrid was excited, but Duchen was a little uncomfortable, because Hagrid's strength was so great that he felt his hands were about to be pinched. You must know that his strength is now as high as 140 points, 14 times that of ordinary people, and his gestures are nearly a thousand catties of huge strength, and Hagrid can pinch him painfully. It can be seen how terrifying this power is.

Broken Chen quietly withdrew his hand, "Thank you for the warm welcome, Hagrid, so what do I need to do next?" ”

"Oh! By the way, I almost forgot about business. Hagrid slapped his head and quickly took out a crumpled letter from his coat pocket and handed it to Broken Chen.

Jiechen took it, opened the letter and browsed it.

Dear Mr. Drake,

On behalf of all the wizards of Hogwarts, I would like to extend a warm welcome to you and express my heartfelt thanks to Mr. Balthazar for his help.

I have applied to the Ministry of Magic. You have been hired as an Honorary Professor at Hogwarts, along with Professor Quirrell, to teach students Defence Against the Dark Arts courses. Please prepare the relevant magical materials and items you need before September 1st and head to Hogwarts.

Hogwarts will be waiting for you.

Headmaster of Hogwarts. Albus? Dumbledore; Vice Chancellor, Minerva? McGonagall, hereby by name.

After reading the letter, Duan Chen shook his head and smiled: "I didn't expect to become a professor at Hogwarts as soon as I came here." This is really surprising, it seems that the identity of the Supreme Merlin's disciple is indeed very important. ”

"Defence Against the Dark Arts? It seems like this course changes professors every year, but it's a strange errand. But that's exactly what I want. Thinking in his heart, Broken Chen put the letter away,

Hagrid, who was waiting on the side, saw that Broken Chen had finished reading the letter, and said, "Mr. Drake, do you think we should go to Diagon Alley to prepare the teaching materials now, or wait for you to rest before going?" ”

Duan Chen thought for a while: "Today is the 30th of July, and there is still one month to go before the start date of school, so we don't need to worry." Hagrid, is there anything else you can do yourself? ”

"Well, I do have something to do." Hagrid scratched his head, "Headmaster Dumbledore also asked me to pick up someone, a very important person, I can't say anything about that." ”

"It's okay, I know who you're going to pick up, I think one of the purposes of Headmaster Dumbledore asking me to come here is to protect him, it's little Harry." Broken Chen said with a smile.

"You know?" Hagrid was surprised, and then he covered his mouth again, "Oh! I said I slipped again. ”

Looking at such a simple Hagrid, Broken Chen smiled and patted him: "Actually, you don't have to hide it from me like this, why don't you just let me go with you, it just so happens that I also want to meet this little guy who you call the Destiny Boy." ”

Hagrid thought about what Dumbledore had told him, and finally nodded: "Headmaster Dumbledore told me that every request you have to try to fulfill, okay, let's go find Harry together, I haven't seen him for eleven years." ”

The matter was settled, and Broken and Hagrid left the Leaky Cauldron together and rode Hagrid's large old motorcycle to London's Privet Road, where Harry lived with his aunt and uncle.

But by the time Broken Chen and Hagrid arrived at the Privet Luther Stepley's house, the family had long since disappeared.

"Strange? Where did they go? Hagrid leaned against the window and looked at the empty house and muttered to himself.

After watching the movie, he knew that the family should have hid on some island, so he said, "I think they probably took Harry to hide somewhere, Harry's aunt wouldn't want Harry to go to Hogwarts to learn some magic, I think we need to look elsewhere." ”

"Damn it, don't they know that by doing this, they're killing the future of a great magician?" Hagrid cursed angrily, "I have to tell Headmaster Dumbledore about this, tomorrow is Harry's birthday, and I have to find him quickly." ”

A gray-feathered owl flew over and landed on Hagrid's shoulder, with a parchment roll in his mouth.

Hagrid suspiciously took off the parchment scroll and unfolded it, and was immediately happy: "It's the map sent by Headmaster Dumbledore, he knows where Harry is." ”

Broken Chen took the map and looked at it, and drew a mark on a remote island near the coast. My heart moved: "It's really powerful, so it's much easier to find someone." ”

"Let's go now, Mr. Drake." Hagrid seemed a little impatient, beckoned Broken Chen to get into the car, and with a sudden twist of the accelerator, the motorcycle carried the two of them into the sky with a whizz, and flew quickly in the direction of the isolated island marked on the map.

As the clock ticked into the night, a dilapidated lighthouse stood on an isolated island off the coast, and the Dursleys moved in to escape Hogwarts' abundance of letter owls.

The weather is not so good tonight. Outside, it can be said that there is a violent wind and rain, and the lightning and thunder are incessant.

A thin boy with glasses was lying on the ground with a blanket and drawing a cake on the dusty ground with his fingers. On the couch next to him, a fat boy slept soundly, snoring endlessly.

The clock struck twelve at midnight, and a new day had arrived.

"Happy birthday, Harry." The little boy was Harry, and he gently blew the cake pattern on the floor away. seems to be blowing the birthday candle that does not have zĂ i, this scene is sad to watch.

Boom! The leaky wooden door of the lighthouse suddenly shuddered, as if someone had hit it outside.

Boom! There was another bang, and the wooden door had begun to tilt. Looks like it's going to fall down at any moment.

Harry, who had been awake, was startled and quickly got up from the ground and hid behind the fireplace. The little fat man on the sofa was awakened and stood up at a loss. Mr. and Mrs. Dursley, who were in the attic, also descended the stairs, staring in panic at the dangling wooden door. The hand holding the spear trembled uncontrollably.

Boom! The overwhelmed wooden door was finally slammed open, and an extremely burly man came in through the door, followed by a young man with an indifferent expression.

As soon as you enter the door. Hagrid saw the fat boy standing there, his face full of joy: "Oh! I've finally met you, Harry! But I think you should be a little thinner. ”

Broken Chen shook his head helplessly, this Hagrid is really coarse, this fat boy has no lightning-shaped scar on his smooth head, no matter how you look at it, it can't be Harry.

The fat boy was overwhelmed: "I... I'm not Harry. ”

Harry, who was hiding behind the fireplace, saw that the person was looking for him, and walked out of hiding with some flinching: "I am Harry. ”

Hagrid looked at the boy in front of him, who was so thin that it seemed to be able to be blown by a gust of wind, and the joy and sorrow on his face were intertwined: "Uh... That's right, you look like your father, and your eyes are exactly like your mother. ”

Little Harry's eyes lit up when he heard this: "You know my parents?" From the moment he saw Hagrid, he felt a strange sense of closeness to the big man, and now listening to Hagrid talk about his parents, Harry suddenly felt that he had met a loved one.

"What are you! Get out of here! Otherwise, I'll sue you for trespassing! Aunt Vernon yelled at Hagrid, his hand trembling even more.

"Shut up! You stupid pig! "When it comes to the Dursleys, Hagrid doesn't have a good face. Harry was eleven years old, but he looked like an eight- or nine-year-old child, obviously caused by chronic malnutrition. Although Hagrid has a good temper, he definitely can't stand the abuse of his best friend's child. So he grabbed the barrel of the gun pointed at him and broke it ninety degrees, and the people in the room were stunned.

Seeing that Hagrid still seemed to be angry, he had no choice but to speak, "Alright Hagrid, we have business to do." ”

"Yes, get down to business." Hagrid pulled out the letter from the Hogwarts admission notice and handed it to Harry Jr., "Okay, the letter has arrived, and this, for you Harry, happy birthday." ”

Harry held the strawberry cake Hagrid had given him, and the corners of his eyes moistened. Although the cake didn't look very good, it was the first birthday cake he had received in eleven years.

"Thank you." Harry choked up, thanking Hagrid for the cake he had given him, and Hagrid for the warmth he had brought him.
