Chapter 317: Hagrid's Afternoon Tea Party
An hour later, class finally ended.
Harry and the others climbed down the stairs out of the basement classroom, and Harry's mind was tumbling with all sorts of chaotic thoughts.
As if to avoid Harry, Professor Snape turned around and walked away the moment the bell rang.
Well, completely ignoring Hermione's classmates who tried to pull the professor to ask questions.
Hermione, who had added a lot of points to Gryffindor in the first week of school, was ruthlessly deducted ten points for bumping into Professor Snape in class.
This made Hermione's newly rising popularity collapse in an instant.
Hermione had no idea why Snape was ignoring her so much, didn't her old trick of trying to attract the professor's attention by "being inquisitive" not working?
Harry also cares a little about this, and he can't last long by pretending to be pitiful by selling cuteness.
By the time Professor Snape got used to all this, he would probably have to deduct points for himself.
"Cheer up," Ron said, "Snape often deducted points from Fred and George, but they were still very popular.
By the way, can I come with you to Hagrid?"
After lunch, a few more games of wizard chess, and time flew by.
Five minutes before three o'clock, they left the castle and walked through the fields.
Hagrid lives in a small cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, with a stone bow and a pair of rubber galoshes in front of the gate.
Hagrid had already said when he first met Harry that he would invite Harry to his cabin if he had the chance.
Hagrid opened the door open, revealing his large, bearded face.
When Harry knocked on the door to Hagrid's hut, he could never have imagined what it would look like.
The hut that doesn't look big from the outside, the space inside is incomparably spacious and bright, and a strong aroma of black tea fills the whole room.
"This is Ron." Harry said to Hagrid, and Ron greeted Hagrid as well.
Hagrid was busy pouring boiling water into a special magic teapot while not knowing what he was doing at the stove.
"Another little Weasley brother, right?" Hagrid said, glancing at Ron's freckled face, "It took me almost half of my life to get the twins out of the Forbidden Forest. ”
Ron smiled shyly, he'd heard too many people comment on his mischievous twin brother these days.
"Come and sit down, I just baked the rock skin cake, it's hot, it's delicious."
Hagrid brought several cylinders the size of cheese wheels to the table, and then placed a lot of fresh fruit and nuts on the table.
"That's too rich, isn't it?" It was just an afternoon tea, and Harry thought Hagrid's arrangement was a little too grandiose.
Ron stared at the plate of cherries across from him, the fresh cherries were still sparkling with water droplets, which was very tempting.
"Oh~ I forgot to tell you," Hagrid smiled, "Li Fei and his friends will be here in a while, Harry, you don't mind if our afternoon tea party is lively, right?" ”
Harry shook his head, of course he didn't mind, but he wished he could communicate with more wizarding classmates.
Ron followed Harry over, but Hagrid also got acquainted with each other under the extremely warm greeting, and when he heard that Li Fei was coming, he was naturally very welcome.
After a few moments, they heard a very loud barking of dogs outside the house.
Then came the sound of a girl's silver bell, and Harry thought the girl's voice was very nice.
"Ouch, Yaya, you're so enthusiastic, I've brought you snacks~"
Then came the sound of the door opening, and the person who pushed the door seemed to be very familiar with the owner of the house, and walked in without knocking.
The leader is none other than Li Fei, followed by Versace, Bruce Wayne, Holkin, as well as Zhang Qiu and Marietta.
Yes, Marietta is the girl with "three-ring moon" freckles on her face when Li Fei was in the hospital.
Before Harry could speak, Ron's surprised voice rang out, "Brother Li Fei, don't you have any classes on Friday afternoons in your second grade?" ”
"Of course not, today is just a special case." Li Fei waved his hand, "Hello Ron, Harry." ”
Harry smiled and nodded, deliberately
shouted: "Brother Li Fei." ”
Zhang Qiu smiled and quipped to Li Fei in Chinese: "You also said that the little obedient likes to be a junior, but in fact, they all learned from you, right?" ”
Harry followed the prestige and found the beautiful figure he had seen in front of Platform 9 at King's Cross Station.
When they met again, Harry was a little shy for a while, not knowing how to speak.
From Ron's point of view, Li Fei conjured up a bunch of fragrant cakes and snacks out of nowhere.
With the appearance of these things, the dining table, which was very much in line with Hagrid's size, turned out to be a little tight.
I saw Li Fei wave his hand, and the dining table instantly expanded outward, and a rotating glass turntable appeared in the middle of the table.
"Wonderful Transfiguration, Hufflepuff plus five points!" Holkins Gwartz quipped in Professor McGonagall's tone.
"None, no wand!?"
Ron was stunned, and the way he looked at Li Fei was like looking at Merlin.
The fact that wizards must cast spells through a wand seems to have become a norm in the wizarding world. Grain
However, no matter how poor the Weasleys are, they are still a pure-blooded family, and although they have been criticized as "pure-bloods", at least Ron's vision is still there.
There are three things that are required to cast magic: mana, spells, and wands.
Muggles without magic, or Squibs with dead magic, could not cast magic.
But there are some people who can do what they do best, even if they don't say the spell.
This technique is known as the "Silent Charm" and is covered in the upper grades at Hogwarts.
There are also a very small number of people who can perform magic even without using a wand, which is what Ron calls "wandless spells".
"Of course it's not wandless, I don't have that much magic attainment."
Li Fei waved the crystal clear sapphire ring on his left index finger: "This is the [Condensation Ring] given to me by my parents, and it can be used as a spell casting prop. ”
At the end, he added: "After all, I'm just an ordinary second-year Hogwarts student." ”
(The many dark wizards who died on the top floor of the Astronomy Tower: "MMP!") Do you hear you MMP! ”)
At this time, everyone was seated, and Hagrid finally had the time to interject: "How is Professor Sprout's health?" ”
It was Bruce the Fat Man who answered Hagrid: "The problem is not too serious, it just needs to rest for a few days."
Professor Sprout is said to want to clean up her office storage compartment to a higher level in order to house this year's 'House Cup'.
As a result, he stepped on the air and accidentally fell and injured his lumbar spine.
Originally, our class schedule this afternoon was botany, but because Professor Sprout accidentally fell and injured his lumbar spine, we temporarily changed to early contact with the protection of magical creatures. ”
"That's good, Professor Kelburn is an expert on magical beasts."
Hagrid stroked his bushy beard and looked wistfully in the direction of the Forbidden Forest.
Versace continued: "Yes, we thought it would be good to get to know Professor Kelburn in advance.
But I didn't expect the professor to have a gout recurrence due to excessive drinking, and he was screaming in bed at this time.
Since there were really no professors who had time to teach us, we were forced to rest in the afternoon. ”
As he spoke, he also showed a "not what I wanted" expression, which looked very unbeatable.
Well, everyone shook their heads, saying that Hogwarts was so big.
Hagrid suddenly sounded something again, and turned his head to look at Li Fei: "I have time to go and see Buckbeak, I miss you very much after not seeing him for a long time." ”
"Don't worry, Hagrid, I've already visited him, and the little one has grown up a lot!"
As the magic teapot made tea, everyone started to move.
Surprisingly, however, almost no one dared to touch the stack of "rock crust cakes" except for Harry and Ron, two freshmen.
Under Hagrid's persistent prodding, the two ignorant little wizards were "fooled" into trying the taste of "rock skin cake".
The hard crust cake nearly knocked out their teeth.
In order to avoid hurting Hagrid's fragile heart, Harry and Ron desperately pretended to be very fond of food, while telling Hagrid the scene of the past few days of class.
Toothtooth, the hound, was also allowed to enter the house, apparently he and Ron were on good terms, and Tooth immediately lunged at Ron as soon as he entered the house, licking Ron's ears frantically.
Hagrid yelled, "Back off, tooth, back off." ”
Harry felt that Tooth was clearly not as fierce as he looked, which was the same feeling Hagrid gave him.
The Great Hound rested his head on Ron's lap, his robe wetting with saliva.
Li Fei brought the whole family over today, including Huanhuan, Little Girl, Little Fairy Pixar, and the golden bear hamster "Xiong Xiong".
Pixar seemed to enjoy the starry moon, turning the round table into her stage, dancing happily in front of everyone with a cherry in hand.
Harry was stunned when he saw such a beautiful little creature for the first time.
Zhang Qiu had been secretly observing Harry, and when he saw Harry looking like a pig brother who had never seen the world at this time, he unconsciously "snorted".
This voice really reminded Harry and made him come back to his senses from his stupe, and Li Fei smiled, knowing all the causes and consequences, he just wanted to watch Zhang Qiu's jokes quietly.
Gradually, the conversation shifted from the campus life of the first year to the changes in the second year, and then the importance of the Hogwarts dining hall menu innovation, and finally the topic shifted to Li Fei's Ragdoll Huanhuan.
Ron tried to talk about Quidditch and the like a few times, but found that no one paid any attention to him except for the girl who looked like she had Oriental roots.
"As for the cat, the one named Lady Loris, I would one day like to introduce her to my teeth1 a kind of little cookie with a rough surface and an irregular shape.
Recognize and know. You know, every time I go to school, it follows me everywhere I go, and I can't shake it off, and Filch must have made it do that. Harry told Hagrid about Snape's lesson. Hagrid, like Ron, told Harry not to worry, as Snape had hardly ever liked any of the students. "But he seems to really hate me." "Nonsense!" Hagrid said, "Why should he hate you?"

Hagrid, like Ron, told Harry not to worry, as Snape had hardly ever liked any of the students. "But he seems to really hate me." "Nonsense!" Hagrid said, "Why should he hate you?"
But Harry always felt that Hagrid was deliberately avoiding his gaze when he said this. "How's your brother Charlie?" Hagrid asked Ron. "I like him a lot – he has a good way of animals." Harry suspected Hagrid was deliberately diverting the subject. As Ron spoke to Hagrid about Charlie's research on dragons, Harry spotted a small piece of paper pressed under the teapot heater, a clip cut out of the Daily Prophet. Gringotts break-in update: The investigation into the Gringotts break-in incident on July 31 is ongoing. It is generally believed that this was the work of unknown dark forces witches and witches. The goblins of Gringotts reaffirmed today that nothing had been stolen. The underground vault that had been searched by the intruders had in fact been emptied earlier in the day. A Gringotts leprechaun spokesman said this afternoon: "I have no comment on what is stored in the vault, so please do not interfere in this matter.
Harry remembered that Ron had told him on the train that someone had tried to rob Gringotts, but Ron hadn't told him the exact date. "Hagrid!" Harry said, "The day the Gringotts break-in happened to be my birthday. Probably we happened to be there when it happened!"
There was no doubt that Hagrid did not dare to look Harry in the eye this time. He only snorted, and handed Harry another rock loaf. Harry read the report again. The underground vault searched by the intruders had been drained earlier in the day. If taking the dirty bag meant withdrawing everything, then Hagrid had already taken out the 713 underground vault. Is that dirty little bag what the intruder is looking for? As Harry and Ron walked back to the castle for dinner, their pockets were heavily filled with crust cakes, and out of politeness, they were embarrassed to refuse. Harry felt that after an afternoon of tea with Hagrid, he had a lot more to think about than he had to think about in class these days: Did Hagrid get the bag in time? Where is the packet now? Did Hagrid know something about Snape but wouldn't tell him?
