After dinner in the evening, it was still early, and Harley and Hermione chose to visit Hagrid.

The kennel outside Hagrid's hut was empty, and the lights were on in the cabin.

Hallie knocked on the door. After a long while, Hagrid shouted in a rough voice, "Come in." ”

The two pushed the door open and entered the room, where they saw Hagrid wiping the table.

The bed behind Hagrid was clean, and he had stuffed his mattress and clothes into a worn-out wooden suitcase.

His hound, Toothtooth, was lying on the ground drinking milk, and Blake didn't look at the milk next to him, but looked at Hagrid worriedly, and his tail didn't wag.

After seeing Hallie, Hagrid subconsciously disguised the dusty several large wine barrels behind him, and smiled reluctantly:

"Hallie, Hermione, are you two here?"

Hagrid's voice was full of sadness, and he raised his head and whimpered.

Blake licked Hagrid's hand before slipping over to Hallie's side.

Although I sympathize with my old friends, my old friends are not as important as my goddaughter.

"I think that's a whole new record." Hagrid threw away the rag and slumped in his chair,

"Never...... I don't think I've ever been a professor for just one day, and I did. ”

"I'm going to be fired, and I'm going to lose my position as a game keeper and key keeper."

"The school trustees know about it...... They thought I was too reckless...... You should choose a simple animal like the Flober caterpillar first. ”

"It's all my fault."

Hermione tried to comfort Hagrid, saying that Malfoy's injuries weren't serious.

And it's just a normal teaching accident, other professors have had accidents worse than this.

For example, there were frequent explosions in Professor Snape's class, and even if Seamus and Neville were separated, it would not be much better.

But Hagrid still cried and mourned: "But this time it was Malfoy who was injured!" ”

"And it's so undeserved that I made such a big mess in my first class...... It's definitely a brand new record for Hogwarts! ”

He blew his nose hard, and his eyes were a little red.

Harley sighed, Hagrid was too worried.

As she had explained to Hermione that afternoon, as long as Professor Dumbledore didn't speak, no one could get Hagrid out of Hogwarts.

And with Lucius's political literacy, he is absolutely aware of this.

So Malfoy Sr. would disgust Dumbledore a little bit at most, and then he wouldn't target Hagrid again.

Hagrid should be worried about the Hippogriff named Buckbeak now.

After all, although it is the private property of Hogwarts, it is also under the jurisdiction of the Office of Beasts, Aliens and Ghosts.

And when it hurts people, the Committee for the Handling of Dangerous Animals has an excuse to intervene!

When Hagrid learned about Harry's opinion, he immediately couldn't care about the sadness.

His own expulsion was also the punishment he thought he deserved, but Hagrid would be sad if Buckbeak was hurt.

In Hagrid's view, in particular, Buckbeak is likely to be hurt because of himself.

But Hermione tried to comfort Hagrid, "It's okay, if anything happens to Buckbeak, you can write to us and tell us." ”

"We'll figure it out for you together."

……

The next day, Hagrid wrote to him.

He was not really expelled, but like his predecessors, he received a disciplinary action.

Although he changed from a full-time teacher to a probationary teacher, Hagrid was very happy.

As long as he is not allowed to leave Hogwarts, his only home, even if he has no salary, Hagrid is willing.

Besides, Professor Celtic had been on probation for sixty-two years, received sixty-three sanctions, and was only turned into a regular in his final year when he was about to retire.

As for Buckbeak, there is no bad news for the time being. This made Hagrid even more excited.

Hallie doesn't care about it anymore, after all, she's been very busy this semester.

Hallie has agreed to the invitations of Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club and Professor Flitwick's Charms Club.

And Professor Snape will definitely not let Harley go, and will continue to find reasons to keep her "confinement".

Coupled with a variety of electives and a weekend exploration of the Forbidden Forest, Harley's task was not much easier than Hermione's, who took five classes.

Thursday morning was the first Potions class of the semester.

After the roll call, Professor Snape looked at the young wizards with a gloomy face:

"The potions we're going to learn this semester will be a notch more difficult."

"I'm glad about that, after all, it's a torment to see that you are still making those ordinary potions full of mistakes."

"While you'll make more mistakes when brewing a slightly more difficult potion, it's at least better to make a mistake in brewing a shrinking potion than if it explodes while brewing a boil healing."

As he spoke, Professor Snape glanced at Seamus with an expressionless face, and he subconsciously pinched his thigh.

"I think you all know that Hallie won the School of Witchcraft and Wizardry Potions Tournament this holiday season on behalf of Hogwarts."

"Of course, I don't expect you all to have the same talent for potions as she does."

"But I hope that you can at least use your brains while studying and remember what you have learned......"

Professor Snape paused again, his gaze scanning the room.

Ron and Neville, who were sitting in the back row, trembled subconsciously, while Seamus tried to keep his composure, while thinking about how to avoid the explosion in the practice of the horse.

The other Gryffindors shrank their heads, and the Slytherins let out a sneering laugh.

“…… So we won't review this lesson, but start a new lesson directly, the shrinking potion. ”

Professor Snape flicked his wand lazily, and the recipe for the shrinkage potion appeared on the blackboard.

"Shrinking Potion, a potion that allows the drinker to become smaller, or transform into a more youthful form......"

Professor Snape quickly made a few key points, and then tapped on the blackboard:

"That's all I have to say. As for more content, I think as a third-grader, you should be able to understand the sentences in the textbook. ”

"Of course, if your IQ is not above the average, it would be a pity."

"Start configuring now, and the deadline is until the end of class!"

It could be seen that Professor Snape was not in such a good mood, and he did not know who provoked him.

(Thanks to the nine-tailed Yanhu for the tip!) ）

(P.S. Found a small bug.) On September 2, 1993, the first day of school, the calendar was Thursday.

But in the original book, there was no Potions class that day, and the chapter "The Boggart in the Closet" was written, and there was a Potions class on Thursday morning.

Probably because the original author didn't look at the calendar, so the lesson on September 2 was moved to Monday. ）
