Chapter 45: The Timid Capet

Hagrid thought about it for a moment and agreed to the smuggler's gamble.

They were playing cards and drinking, and there were already a lot of bottles on the table, and Hagrid was a little drunk.

Hagrid had good luck that night, and soon won ten rounds, rubbing his hands together excitedly, waiting for the smuggler to give him the eggs.

The smuggler didn't expect to lose so quickly, so he dragged his feet and said, "Okay, I'm unlucky today, but I have to find out if you have what it takes to deal with a dragon."

Hagrid's face was furious and puzzled, and he felt that this man was deliberately playing tricks on him, trying to pay the bill.

"I don't want the dragon to run out and get into trouble, and the Ministry of Magic will find out about me. After all, I just wanted to do business, and I didn't want to get myself in trouble. The man explained weakly.

"Don't worry, I'm very good at dealing with these dangerous magical beasts." Hagrid drank half a glass of whiskey in one gulp, patting his chest and reassuring.

"Tell me about the magical creatures you've dealt with." The man in black asked, ordering Hagrid another glass of whiskey.

"When I was a teenager, I had an eight-eyed spider. I've raised Hippogriffs, Thestrals, and more recently a Thunderbird in the Forbidden Forest. I've dealt with the centaur tribe and the trolls, and even the three-headed dog can be submissive, and a dragon is nothing......"

"Three-headed dogs, I've heard of these creatures, and they're said to be quite dangerous." The smuggler seemed intrigued by this and asked.

"I've heard that very few wizards can subdue a three-headed dog. They are dangerous, they are vicious, and their teeth are poisonous. The smuggler asked curiously, "You don't look like a particularly powerful wizard, how did you do that?" ”

"Only an uncivilized savage wizard would think of subduing magical beasts with magic, I use my brain," Hagrid said disdainfully, drinking a glass of whiskey again, half-drunk, "Three-headed dogs are not that scary, they are actually easy to deal with, you just need to play some music to make it fall asleep quickly." ”

"Put on music?" The smuggler asked incredulously.

The scene ends abruptly here, and the next moment Hagrid is drunk in the bar.

Calvin raised his head and looked at Hagrid, whose blood-red eyes were like torches on the Last Judgment Day, and his eyes were clearly asking, "Hagrid, look what you have done?" ”

Calvin said softly, "Hagrid, is this how you treat the task Dumbledore has given you?" ”

Hagrid hugged his head in chagrin and began to sob.

Ron didn't know what was going on for a moment, and asked Hermione stupidly, "What does Professor Capet mean?" ”

"The mystery man, or the one who wants to get through the trapdoor guarded by Loue," Hermione explained in a whisper, "already knows how to subdue the three-headed dog. ”

Harry suddenly got up from his chair, "That smuggler, it must be Snape, I'm going to look for him." ”

Calvin had a headache, and for now, Harry was a little more like James, reckless and impulsive.

"Harry, don't make a mess." Calvin stopped Harry's impulsive behavior, "I said, don't doubt Professor Snape. ”

"But ...... The mysterious man already knows the way to get through the way. Harry shouted.

"That doesn't mean that the mystery man will be able to get his hands on the treasure Dumbledore has hidden. Actually, I also set up a mechanism to protect it. ”

"Now you can go back, don't talk about what you saw today, and don't try to provoke Professor Snape, if he wants to lock you up, I won't intercede for you."

After Harry left, Hagrid finally looked up and wiped away his tears with his large, fan-like hands.

"Calvin, I," Hagrid stammered to something, not sure whether to apologize or excuse.

"Hagrid, well, you don't have to explain, you don't have to apologize." Calvin comforted, "It's not like you don't know the mysterious man, and you're not the only wizard who has been bewitched and deceived by him. A lot of people who are smarter than you have fallen for him. ”

"But," Hagrid still cried, "I have betrayed Headmaster Dumbledore's trust. ”

Calvin poured a cup of hot tea and handed it to Hagrid: "Actually, his action only confirmed that the mystery man is now at Hogwarts, and that he is not in good shape. So there's nothing wrong with you. ”

"What's more, you don't really think it's a real philosopher's stone."

Hagrid jerked his head up, "You mean, that's fake?" ”

"This is just speculation on my part, and I don't think Dumbledore, even if he was confident, would have joked with the lives of his students. My guess is that the mystery man is extremely weak and must regain his strength with the Philosopher's Stone as soon as possible, otherwise he will not take the risk of stealing things under Dumbledore's eyes. ”

Speaking of this, Calvin was stunned for a moment. It suddenly occurred to him that Voldemort's Horcruxes were still with him, and it seemed that he needed to raise the anti-theft level as well.

"So, the secret I leaked might not be that important?" Hagrid's voice trembled a little, "Thank goodness. ”

"That being said, but Hagrid, you shouldn't do it again."

Hagrid hurriedly assured, "No, absolutely not. ”

"Well, but you have to be careful, the mysterious man may still make a fuss with this dragon egg."

With that, Calvin pulled a scroll of portraits out of his sleeve and unfolded it and hung it on the wall of Hagrid's hut.

Hagrid was a little surprised: "I said, Calvin, what are you doing hanging your self-portrait in my house?" ”

"What else can I do, look at you and the dragon egg, you still have to learn from me about feeding the little dragon, don't believe in "Raising Dragons for Recreation and Profit", that book is all a lie."

"By the way, Hagrid, you didn't tell me when you got the dragon egg, did you treat me as a friend?" Calvin scolded with a laugh.

Hagrid snorted, "It's not that I'm afraid of being discovered. ”

Early the next morning, Calvin came to the auditorium for breakfast, only to find a circle of students in one part of the auditorium, surrounded by people who were heckling and obstructing, and a few students hurriedly left the auditorium to find the dean.

Calvin looked at the crowd separately and saw that three first-year students were scuffling together: Harry's front teeth were sticking out of his mouth a full three inches long; Ron's hair turned ice blue and was cold; Green onions kept pouring out of Draco's ears. And their wands were scattered aside.

Calvin waved his wand to separate the three wrapped together, removing the effect of the curse on them. Then he said with a gloomy face: "Okay, the three of them are fighting with magic in the auditorium, it's good." Is this what Hogwarts students are like? Ten points will be deducted for each person, and they will be locked up with me on weekend nights. ”

Before Calvin could finish his sentence, Draco shouted, "Why! It was Potter who did it first, and you should have fired him instead of deducting my points. ”

"Malfoy! Hit the professor and deduct ten points. ”

Draco's face flushed, "You can't do this to me, I'm going to tell my dad and let him fire you, cowardly Capet!" ”
