Chapter 167: Transition
Ron pulls Harry and Hermione to stay, he also wants to ride once, but he has a bad relationship with the Knicks, and he thinks that the Knicks will not help him, and wants Harry and Hermione to help him say good things.
Nicks drove the Hippogriffs back to the fence and tethered them one by one, leaving one for Neville.
Ron looked at Neville's clumsiness, eager to go up and take his place. "If it were me, I would have been recognized immediately, and it would definitely not take so long."
Hermione put down the book in her hand when she heard this, and said, "Then tell Nicks and let him pull out one." ”
Ron was silent, and Hermione shook her head and continued reading.
Harry looked at Ron and walked over to the one he had ridden. As Hagrid taught, looking into its eyes and bowing, waiting for a response, the Hippogriff bowed slightly.
Harry carefully pulled it near Ron. "There's only so much I can do for you."
"Don't worry, I can, thank you, Harry." Ron said happily.
Harry turned to Knicks and said, "Nix, I'm worried about Hagrid, go back to the castle." Is it okay for you to take care of Ron in a moment? ”
"Okay." The Knicks didn't refuse.
Ron and Neville were recognized at about the same time, and they excitedly rode the Hippogriff and flew into the sky with a shout.
Seeing the two leave, Nicks pulls out a blank piece of parchment and draws a map of Hogwarts, marking lone Dementors in some places.
Hermione sneaked up behind Nyx to watch his movements, and Hermione could tell that Nick had drawn a map of Hogwarts, but she didn't know what the markers were.
"What does this mark represent?" Hermione asked.
Nicks shook his hand and almost tore the map off: "Hermione, don't suddenly appear behind others, it will scare people to death." ”
"What's that mark?" Hermione asked again.
"It's nothing, I drew it blindly." Nicks didn't want to tell Hermione.
Hermione thought about the Hogwarts map she had seen, and was pleasantly surprised: "I know, those are the small doors of Hogwarts, and they are also on the map in the library, and you have more marks than the library, so they are secret passages." ”
Nicks suddenly, the lone Dementors were guarding the entrance. Isn't that cheap him! As long as you find the secret passage, you can sneak up on the Dementors, and kill one without knowing it, and no one will know about it except Lao Deng.
"Hermione, that's a big favor." The Knicks were excited, but he wasn't close to Hermione.
Neville and Ron shouted in the sky, and Hermione said in frustration, "They're back." ”
Neville didn't wait for him to fall before he shouted, "Knicks, did you see that?" I did it, I did it. ”
"Got it, let's go back."
Ron was also excited, but couldn't find Harry to share.
"Where's Harry?"
Hermione replied, "He's worried about Hagrid, so he'll go back first." ”
When returning to the castle, Hermione deliberately walked side by side with Ron in front of the Knicks, and Ron kept stirring up the topic to attract Hermione.
Hermione smiled in response, occasionally sneaking back to look back at the Knicks, and found that the Knicks didn't care that she was with Ron, and her heart was even more lost, and the last bit of love that was left was gone. For the second half of the journey, no matter what Ron said, Hermione was silent.
Neville poked the Knicks and whispered, "Won't you comfort her?" ”
Nicks shook his head and whispered in the same vein, "Can't give her hope." It's best this way, she used to be isolated, I know what it's like, so I'm with her. Now she has a lot of friends, and she doesn't need me to accompany her. ”
Neville nodded and asked, "What about me, can't you get used to them bullying me to say I'm your partner?" ”
"No, you're my subordinate, helping you to make it more useful." Nick Dow.
Neville: "......"
At the castle gate, they meet Harry, who is on his way to Hagrid's hut.
"Harry, I made it." Ron excitedly.
"Congratulations." Harry said anxiously, "Did you see Hagrid?" I didn't find him in the castle. ”
"No, we didn't see Hagrid until we came back, so we wouldn't fire him, would we?" Hermione was a little worried.
"No, it won't." Ron Road.
Entering the Great Hall, Harry looked at the professorship, Hagrid was not.
Ron saw a crowd gathered around the Slytherin table, Goyle and Crabbe, discussing something. "Hagrid was injured in his first class, and he was still a Slytherin student, so they wouldn't let him go." ”
Harry: "Malfoy is fine, Madam Pomfrey is powerful......"
The Knicks broke away from the group and walked over to Luna and sat down. "How's the second-year class going?"
Without waiting for Luna to answer, Tifa asked, "Brother, I heard that Malfoy was injured in Hagrid's class, really?" ”
"Well, today Hagrid introduced us to a magical beast that he didn't touch the way Hagrid taught him and was scratched." Nix replied.
"What kind of magical beasts?" Luna asked curiously.
"Hippogriffs have winged beasts, so I'll have a chance to take you there."
"Sounds like animals put together, scary?" Tifa asked.
"It's beautiful, but it's a little bigger."
"That's a chance to show us." Luna yearned.
"By the way, brother, let's go to the library together and help us see how to write the homework." The second-year course was a bit difficult for Tifa.
"Okay." Nicks agreed.
After dinner, Nicks takes Luna and Tifa to the library, but Hermione doesn't show up and goes back to Gryffindor Tower with Harry and Ron.
When Nicks helps Luna and Tifa get their homework and go back together, they meet Harry, Ron, and Hermione, who are also going upstairs.
"Where have you been?" Tifa asked curiously.
Hermione: "Go see Hagrid." ”
"How is he?"
"Not so good." Harry didn't say specifically.
The next day, Hermione, who was rare, woke up late, used the time turner on the first day, and went to Hagrid again in the evening, without resting well.
Nicks looked down and took a sip of porridge, and when he looked up again, he saw Hermione sitting across from her, her face haggard.
"Need I help you?"
Hermione was stunned for a moment, then said, "No, I just didn't have a good rest." ”
"I have a potion that allows you to learn knowledge better, I promised to give it to you before, but I just want to wait for you to be more powerful, it seems that I have to give it to you in advance." Nick Dow.
Hermione agreed, "Okay, when to drink?" ”
Nicks took out the class schedule and looked at it: "I only have one session in the afternoon, how about you?" ”
"I have a full schedule of classes every day." Hermione said.
"Then it's only at night, after dinner, go to the Room of Requirement, you know how to get in, right?" Nick Dow.
"You know, can you bring someone?" Hermione asked.
"You decide."
Hermione was in a better mood, and the Knicks had always treated her as a friend, and only a friend.
Fill their stomachs, and the two go to Potions class together.
