Chapter 174: Cognition

"Please give me a reasonable explanation." Professor Lupin said solemnly.

Harry knew it was up to him to answer Professor Lupin's question, but he was speechless when he looked at Hagrid, who was lying on the bed, his big hairy face stained with dry tears and the pungent smell of alcohol.

Why does Hagrid get a hangover?

Without Hagrid personally explaining, Harry can figure it out, all along, Hagrid has been working diligently for Hogwarts and Dumbledore, he doesn't ask for anything else, just to be recognized by others, and now, with the help of Professor Blaine, Hagrid has finally cleared the suspicion of a murderer, and with the help of Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid, who has become a professor of the Magical Creature Protection Course, has not had time to show his ambitions, and he collapsed under Malfoy's trouble...

Tooth whimpered in concern as he lay on Hagrid's arm, and Harry clenched his fists and turned pale, eager to rush into the castle and beat Malfoy now.

Ron had apparently seen Harry's strangeness, but under the solemn gaze of a professor, he didn't dare to move, so he could only hang his head and scrunch his eyebrows covertly, hoping that Harry would be calmer.

"It's me, Professor--",

Hermione said with tears in her eyes, "I saw Hagrid's strange appearance and thought something had happened to him, so..."

Lupin looked at Harry with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but before he could say anything, Harry suddenly roared angrily,

"It's all Malfoy, Professor Lupin, he was hurt because he didn't listen to persuasion, he brought it on himself, but he hurt Hagrid and probably lost his job, becoming a professor of this course is Hagrid's dream!"

Lupin looked at the furious Harry, unexpectedly, he did not show further anger, but his expression was much gentler, and in a trance, Lupin's eyes were angrily fighting for Hagrid's Harry's facial features and the facial features of another person he remembered faintly overlapped. Reading Pavilion

"Mr. Malfoy Jr.'s injury may have been caused by his imprudent actions,"

Professor Lupin said mildly,

"So, what about you, Harry... It's close to the Forbidden Forest, and if you're attacked for staying out of sight, and you're going to get involved with Ron and Hermione, who are you to blame? ”

Harry froze, not knowing how to answer the question.

"Professor Lu, Professor Lupin, Bu... I mean, Headmaster Dumbledore is in the school, and, no... No one will be in the daytime..."

Ron, whose earlobes were red and hot, stammered and explained that it was not easy for him to justify himself under the harsh gaze of a professor.

"Do you really think that's the case, Ron?"

After stopping Ron with his gaze, Professor Lupin's tone changed from new to solemn,

"The dark wizards lurking in the shadows will appear in any unexpected way you can't imagine, and if the walls of Hogwarts and the Dementors can't stop them, then why do you think the sun will tie them?"

There was a smell of pins falling in the crowded cabin, and Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all trying to make a defense.

Thinking of the little wizards who were waiting for him, Professor Lupin didn't say at length, he glanced at Hagrid, who was bubbling with snot, faintly worried, and after thinking about it, he said to the three little wizards,

"You can take care of Hagrid here for a while, but I hope you can get back to Professor Sprout's class as soon as possible and admit your mistake to her, and I'll know if you did."

After saying this, Professor Lupin walked towards the door, but as he took a step, he paused again, looked at the three little ones with ashamed faces, and said,

"Hagrid is a qualified and good adult wizard, and you should trust him and trust him to handle his own problems."

After Professor Lupin left, Hagrid's cabin remained awkwardly silent until Ron pursed his lips and said in a relaxed tone,

"I think, the three of us should be the first little wizards to eat confinement this school year, right, sorry, I should have said that it is going to be!"

Hermione looked at Ron as if nothing had happened, and pursed her lips,

"I thought we had convinced Hagrid last time,"

She looked at a drunken Hagrid and said sadly, "He must be very worried about Buckbeak and afraid that he will be expelled from the school board." ”

"Hagrid won't be expelled, Hermione, you and Hagrid are a little worried, Dumbledore won't do that." Ron retorted.

"Professor Dumbledore must also follow the advice of the Board of Trustees and the Ministry of Magic, if Malfoy..., that Lucius Malfoy, we met him here last semester, and then I asked someone to inquire, he has a close relationship with many Ministry of Magic officials."

Hermione said worriedly, "If Malfoy makes up his mind to make a fuss about this." ”

"There's a lot of people in the Ministry of Magic that Lucius Malfoy can't control, Hermione!"

Ron and Hermione discussed it sentence by sentence, and Harry knew that he was taking the opportunity to dilute the guilt in his heart, which moved him and made him even more ashamed.

During the summer vacation, Professor Bryan gave him relevant warnings, but he could not remember those well-intentioned warnings at critical times.

At the mention of Professor Bryan, Harry suddenly missed him a little bit again.

If Professor Bryan was still in school, he could easily have ordered Draco Malfoy not to mess around.

"Speaking of which..."

Harry rubbed his teethy ears and pulled the smudged handkerchief he used to from Hagrid's pocket and wiped Hagrid's snot.

"Maybe I can really ask Professor Bryan for his help, if he's willing to give Malfoy a command..."

Ron and Hermione looked at each other, neither of them speaking.

None of Professor Lupin's instructions before he left had forgotten them, but before leaving, the three of them decided to help Hagrid take off his coat in order to give him a better rest.

It was an easy task for a wizard of normal size, but it was a huge task to help Hagrid, who was close in size and tonnage to an elephant, take off his robes, and it took Harry and the three of them to climb up and down Hagrid's bed, and it took a while to finally take off Hagrid's coat.

"Say--"

When it was done, Ron crossed his waist and gasped, "Why didn't we use magic to lift Hagrid up?" ”

"Because our magic can't move Hagrid's physique."

Hermione wiped the hair stuck to her forehead, and then glanced at the angle of the sunlight outside the room, her orange eyes suddenly flashed a little anxious, she looked at Harry and Ron, who were busy taking off Hagrid's socks, and said casually

"Well, I'm going to get Hagrid some water to wipe his face--"

Saying that, before he could respond, Hermione ran out, and when she left, she quietly brought her school bag...
