Chu Xiaobai entered Hogwarts about a week earlier than Hermione. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Hermione is a new student, and her only task in school is to study, but everything else in her life will be arranged by the school and her teachers.

Chu Xiaobai is different, as an employee who has been hired, he still has many things to handle personally.

For example, the issue of accommodation.

In general, all current teachers and staff at Hogwarts will be provided with rooms for their accommodation. However, Chu Xiaobai's identity as a Forbidden Forest Ranger when he was recruited to enter Hogwarts was somewhat special compared to the other teachers and staff in the school.

Just as the forest ranger has to live on the edge of the forest and the doorman has to live in the gatehouse, Chu Xiaobai, who is the administrator of the forbidden forest, also has to live on the edge of the forbidden forest.

Either live with Hagrid, or build another cottage and be a neighbor with Hagrid, in short, Chu Xiaobai will not live in a Hogwarts castle like most teachers.

Chu Xiaobai's choice was to build another cottage, as for the reason, it was actually very simple.

If you live with Hagrid, you can certainly be protected by him, reducing the possibility of being attacked by the dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

However, Chu Xiaobai didn't think he could fit into Hagrid's roommate.

After all, Hagrid's living habits were somewhat sloppy, even before he crossed over, Chu Xiaobai might not be able to adapt to it, not to mention that he had also been to the Heavenly Dragon Plane and lived like a foreign master in the Loose Sect for so long?

Moreover, just looking at Hagrid's physique, you know that he must still have a habit of snoring when he sleeps.

Living with Hagrid, seeing his sloppy habits, let's say, it's not suitable, don't say it, I feel uncomfortable in my heart, plus I can't sleep because of his earth-shattering snoring at night, after thinking about it a little, Chu Xiaobai feels that he has begun to have a headache.

After thinking about it, it would be better to build another hut and be neighbors with Hagrid.

Of course, as a traverser, some things need to be kept secret, which is also one of the reasons why Chu Xiaobai made this decision.

"Chu, you have three days, well, a maximum of five days to deal with your own affairs. It's a week before the start of school, and for the last two days, you'll need to get familiar with the castle, and then, when it's time to welcome new students, we'll need your help. No way, the new students are always curious, and we need more people to manage them and avoid any accidents on their way to school. ”

After returning home to clean up, he explained a few words to Granger and his wife, and asked them to help take care of his house, and then, early the next morning, Chu Xiaobai waited at home for Professor McGonagall, who came as promised, and followed her to Hogwarts.

The first stop was Dumbledore's office.

"By the way, I've already heard, you're planning to build another hut, right? It's a little tight on time, but that's okay. Hagrid was here too, and Dumbledore had already introduced the two of them half an hour earlier. At this moment, Dumbledore pointed at Hagrid again and recommended a sentence for Chu Xiaobai: "Hagrid will help you, he is a strong man, with him, plus the help of the house elf, your hut can be built soon." ”

"Wrap it up on me." Hagrid also patted his chest and slapped the package ticket.

Perhaps because of the blood of giants, Hagrid's personality is much more honest and honest than ordinary people, just like the truth of 'children's vision is the most accurate', as soon as the simple-minded Hagrid saw Chu Xiaobai, he immediately regarded him as a good friend worth dating, and even more direct and straightforward than when Dumbledore first met Chu Xiaobai.

"Please, Hagrid." People are so enthusiastic, they naturally can't help but express it, Chu Xiaobai also smiled and made a promise: "When the hut is built, I invite you to go to the Broken Cauldron Bar for a drink, I heard that the butterbeer there is quite good." As you know, I've never been in contact with the wizarding world before, and I haven't tasted butterbeer. ”

The favorite drink to drink is butterbeer, and Chu Xiaobai's words undoubtedly tickled Hagrid's itch: "Hahahaha, I promise you'll love that taste." But isn't one cup missing? ”

"All-you-can-drink? Or, can we buy a few barrels first? You have to sweat when you work, you will be thirsty when you sweat, and you always have something to moisten your throat, you say? ”

"It's no better, what are you waiting for, let's go, shall we? I can't wait for a drink. ”

"I agree." nodded, and Chu Xiaobai also stood up. However, considering that Dumbledore may still have something to do, before leaving to leave, Chu Xiaobai still didn't forget to ask more: "Dumbledore, can we leave now?" ”

"Of course." Not only did he nod his head in agreement, but Dumbledore also took out a Galleon from his pocket and handed it to Hagrid: "Hagrid, help me bring some back, you know, I like that too." ”

Chu Xiaobai, who is 1.75 meters tall, looks like a child next to Hagrid, who is in his early 3 meters, but the laughter of the two is so harmonious. Looking at the backs of the two of them 'hooking their shoulders and backs' to leave, a big smile appeared on Dumbledore's old face again.

"Looks like he's a good lad, isn't he?"

"Yes, it's the first time I've seen Hagrid accept a stranger so quickly." Professor McGonagall, who was still in Dumbledore's office, nodded.

Not to mention how much official business Professor McGonagall and Dumbledore still have to deal with, just talk about the relationship between Hagrid and Chu Xiaobai - in just half a day, the two have become very good friends.

The five barrels of butterbeer dragged back by the cart played a big role, but more importantly, it was because Chu Xiaobai showed some other characteristics in front of Hagrid.

For example, cooking.

Although Chu Xiaobai's craftsmanship is not very good, at most it is only the level of a roadside stall stir-frying, but for Hagrid, who lives in the UK and has never been exposed to oriental food, it is still extremely delicious. In particular, the big bowl of spicy seafood stewed gnocchi that was exciting and heavy enough made the huge Hagrid eat it even more.

For example, strength.

Chu Xiaobai, who has a body of internal strength, has far more strength than ordinary people. Whether it's moving beer kegs or cutting down trees to prepare building materials, the strength he shows is incredible. Seeing Chu Xiaobai's actions, Hagrid, who was also as powerful as a cow, subconsciously classified him as a 'kind', and became closer to him in his heart.

Another example is curiosity.

Chu Xiaobai was a newcomer and was very curious about everything in the magic world. This includes not only the knowledge in books and all kinds of potions, but also all kinds of magical creatures that are not found in the world.

Hagrid is also a person who likes magical creatures very much, and from his standpoint, Chu Xiaobai has another layer of comradeship.

It's only been half a day, and in the next few days, the relationship between Chu Xiaobai and Hagrid will definitely get better and better.

Don't forget, Chu Xiaobai still has the 'nutrient solution' in his hand, and since that thing can work on wizards, it must also be effective for Hagrid. Referring to the wizard's effect of more stable mana after drinking the 'nutrient solution', Hagrid, who is not good at controlling mana, is eight times out of ten. Nine will also get great benefits because of the 'nutrient solution'.

If Hagrid can really rely on the help of the 'nutrient solution' to further stabilize his magic power, and then make a breakthrough in magic, then Chu Xiaobai, who provides the 'nutrient solution', will inevitably be regarded by him as a benefactor, and at that time, the word friend is not enough to describe the relationship between the two, and it may be more appropriate to say that it is a dead friend.

In addition, Chu Xiaobai can also instruct Hagrid to practice.

Maybe because of his physique, Hagrid couldn't really learn internal strength, but Chu Xiaobai was not only able to teach him. With Hagrid's physical fitness, as long as Chu Xiaobai took out some of the most superficial horizontal exercises and gave him a little guidance, Hagrid's personal combat power could be greatly improved.

In the face of wizards who use magic, the improved strength may not have much effect, but in the face of magical creatures who mainly use hand-to-hand combat, the newly learned horizontal practice kung fu can definitely be regarded as a big helper for Hagrid.

Just because he can get in touch with magical creatures more easily in the future, and can get in touch with more dangerous magical creatures, Hagrid will definitely be very grateful to Chu Xiaobai for his guidance.

Of course, whether it was for Hagrid to take the nutrient solution or to instruct him to practice, that would be for later, so I won't talk about it here.

For Chu Xiaobai, the most important thing at the moment is to build the hut first, accept his new identity, and prepare for the new life as a Hogwarts employee.

With the help of Hagrid and the house-elves, it only took three days for Chu Xiaobai's hut to be completed.

It took another day to pack up the house and buy household items.

The last three days were spent getting acquainted with the Hogwarts environment, and getting to know other teachers who had not yet met.

A week passed, and in the blink of an eye, Hogwarts finally ushered in the day of new students.

"Chu~~~! It's time for us to go~~! "Except for going back to his hut at night, Hagrid has been staying here with Chu Xiaobai for the past few days. No, early in the morning, when the genius was bright, he came over and knocked on the door of Chu Xiaobai's house again.

"It's coming, it's coming." Afraid that the door of his house would be knocked down by Hagrid's brute force, Chu Xiaobai hurriedly opened the door and came out, while throwing the sandwich to Hagrid, and tidied up the robe on his body: "Don't knock, knock it down, will you fix it for me?" I'm ready, let's go. ”
