Chapter 82: The Beginning of the Anomaly

When they came to Hagrid's door, the door suddenly opened, accompanied by the sound of an argument.

"Hide first" Harry beckoned everyone to hide behind the mound.

I saw Lockhart push the door open, he was wearing a lilac robe today. Hagrid was blushing and pushing him impatiently.

"Don't thank me, you've already learned, it's easy." Lockhart struggled to turn around and continue to communicate, "If you still don't understand, you can come to me at any time, you know where I am." I'll give you a copy of the book I wrote - I'm surprised you didn't have one, I'll sign it and send it over with detailed instructions - okay, okay, don't push it..."

"-Bang!" Hagrid slammed the door shut

Lockhart was a little embarrassed by the door panel, so he had to yell into the room, "Uh.... I'll send it later. Good bye! With that, he strode towards the castle.

When he left, Harry and his gang came out.

"Lockhart? How did he get here? Ron looked at his distant figure in confusion

"Let's go," Ivy patted him, "go and ask, you'll know."

Several men knocked on Hagrid's door

"I said - no!" The door was violently opened. Hagrid's oppressive figure appeared in front of everyone.

"Uh-why are you? Come on in~" The original angry expression was replaced by a smiling face

"What's wrong, Hagrid? Who made you so atmospheric? Ivy said with a smile as soon as he sat down

"Who else! Gilderoy Lockhart, that nosy guy! Hagrid gritted his teeth at the mention of Lockhart's name

"What is he doing here?" Harry was puzzled

"Teach me how to prevent the water demon from getting into the well, hmph-hmph-" Hagrid's yin-yang monster said "as if I wouldn't be"

"He's kind too," Hermione tried to defend him a little

"Kind? I think it's to show off! He also bragged to me about how to exorcise female ghosts, how to defeat werewolves, repel vampires, and a bunch of other messy things, and talked for more than two hours! Hagrid waved the dehaired dead chicken in his hand, "You know what! Thirteen times! Thirteen times! I almost couldn't help but gag his rotten mouth with this chicken! ”

"Hagrid can't blame him for this, who let him have so many great deeds." Hermione made the most of her brain-dead qualities

"Great? Haha - Hermione, how could you be fooled if you were so smart. The guy said there was going to be a real thing, and I ate the table! Hagrid said dismissively

"That's true, I don't think that guy is good." Ron had always had a dislike for Lockhart

"I feel that you guys are a little unfair, after all, Dumbledore thinks he's the best candidate for Defence Against the Dark Arts professor—" Hermione argued, somewhat irritated

"Hehe~ He's not just the most suitable candidate," Hagrid said casually, handling the dead chicken, "It's not an exaggeration to say that he is the only candidate." But it had nothing to do with his ridiculous accolades, it was purely because of his job as a Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher, which no one wanted to do. People felt that the position was unlucky, and there was no one else to find but him. ”

"You're still biased, I think ————" Hermione wanted to argue

"Alright, Hermione. Time will tell, and you don't have to say it. Ivey interrupted her, "Hagrid, you know we're coming?" And killed a chicken in advance? ”

"I'd love to say that, but I don't actually know who killed the chicken. I found it last night when I was on patrol. It's better to have a good meal than to waste it," Hagrid said, and I don't carry the pot

"Maybe it's some kind of beast," Ron began to fantasize about the food as he looked at the washed chicken.

"But it's just right!" Hagrid smiled and looked at the group, "Just going to trouble our Hufflepuff chef"

"I'm honored"

They had planned to have a meal with Hagrid

————

An hour later, a hearty lunch was ready.

"It's time to eat," Ivy shouted out the window

While Ivy was cooking, Hagrid took the others around the hut for a while.

"It's finally all right - I'm starving!" Ron ran in first. When he was outside, just smelling the smell of food made his stomach rumble.

"Not hot pot?" Looking at the few plates on the table, I was slightly disappointed

"You can't eat hot pot all the time. This is Chinese food, didn't I take you to a Chinese restaurant last time, this time I tried my craftsmanship, definitely better than them. "This is braised chicken nuggets, this is fried chicken fillet, and there are cola chicken wings, chicken cutlets, chicken thighs, and ......" used Hagrid's chicken and some of Ivy's own ingredients to make a total of eight or nine dishes.

"Hagrid, you don't know how to use chopsticks, so you can use a fork. By the way, there's also the staple. But I guess you won't be used to eating it either," Ivy took out a few pieces of freshly baked biscuits and placed them on the table.

Hermione picked up the bowl in front of her, and it was a thick orange-red liquid. Hermione took a sip, her eyes narrowing, "Mmmm—it's delicious!" What is it? ”

"Pumpkin porridge, grown in Hagrid's yard." Ivey replied

"The pumpkin with the swelling spell? I thought it was going to be unpalatable. Hermione said with a little surprise

"It's not unpalatable, but it's really sweet and a little greasy, so it can only be used to make porridge."

"It's not bad~ Hagrid, you've done a great job." Hermione complimented

"It's alright—" Hagrid hastily replied, nibbling on a chicken leg in his hand. The creatures around Hogwarts are huge, and so is this chicken. Its legs are larger than turkey legs. However, due to Hagrid's size, it is completely invisible. And the way he eats chicken legs reminds Ivey of O'Neill in his previous life.

Hagrid pouted and said, "Yesterday, Ron and his sister said the same thing."

Ron, who was sweeping the table like a whirlwind cloud, shook his hands, raised his face full of sauce, and asked slightly confused, "Sister?" Do you say Ginny? ”

"Do you have any other sisters—" Hermione gave him a blank look

"Speaking of which, I haven't seen her in public for a long time," Ron suddenly remembered at the mention of Ginny.

"What is she doing here?" Harry asked

She said just take a walk and have a look. I'm guessing she's trying to run into someone here," Hagrid glanced at Harry, and smiled

"Don't talk nonsense," Harry protested, blushing

"-haha-" A few people chuckled

As soon as the smile on Hermione's face receded, she changed to a sad face, "But Ginny is really not right these days"

"What? Has she ever looked for you? Ivey said

"No," Hermione shook her head, "I've actually been to see her a few times. Truth be told, it's not good. I often sit alone on the bed, and I called her a few times but didn't respond. ”

"Is she doing the same at home?" Ivy asked Ron

"How is that possible!" Ron immediately retorted. He had suffered a lot from Ginny
