Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

Rita Skeeter and the "Daily Prophet" report this time at an incredible speed. What should have been the front page of the Christmas event was replaced by a huge photo of Hagrid, with a sneaky expression on his face. of.

Below, a row of large characters clearly read: Dumbledore's major mistake.

The newspaper's special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports that the eccentric Albus Dumbledore, head of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has always dared to hire controversial teachers.In September of this year, he hired Aristotle "Mad-Eye" Moody as his Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, a decision that surprised many at the Ministry.

Moody is a notoriously malevolent, former Auror.

He has been known to attack whenever anyone makes a sudden movement in front of him.

However, compared with the half-human and half-goblin hired by Dumbledore, Mad-Eye Moody is serious, responsible and kind. We all know that he once hired notorious werewolves, vampires and even goblins as professors, and It caused an uproar.

But none of this is as shocking as the current Conservation of Magical Creatures professor's true face hidden in the shadows.

By Rubeus Hagrid's own admission, he was expelled from Hogwarts in his third year and has been working as the school's gamekeeper ever since, a job Dumbledore found for him.

Hagrid had used his mystical influence on the headmaster last year to win a job as Care of Magical Creatures teacher for himself over many more qualified candidates.

Hagrid is a large, vicious-looking man who abuses his new-found powers to scare the students in his charge with a series of terrifying animals.In a series of lessons that many described as "very horrific", Hagrid had maimed several students while Dumbledore turned a blind eye.

"I was attacked by a hippogriff and my friend Vincent Crabbe was bitten by a Flobber caterpillar." Draco Malfoy, a fourth grader The student said, "We all hate Hagrid, but we dare not speak out."

Hagrid had no intention of stopping his intimidating behavior, but rather enjoyed it.

In a conversation with a reporter for the Daily Prophet last month, he admitted that he was breeding a creature he named a "fry-tailed snail," a cross between a sphinx and a fire crab, It is very dangerous.

Breeding of new species of magical beings is usually closely monitored by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures of the Ministry of Magic.

But Hagrid obviously thought he could get past such tedious rules and regulations.

"I just thought it was funny," he said, before changing the subject hastily.

The Daily Prophet recently found evidence that Hagrid wasn't a full-blood wizard as he always pretended to be, in fact he wasn't even a full-blood wizard, and we can exclusively reveal that his mother was The giantess Friedwafa, whereabouts are currently unknown.

Giants are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature, and they were on the verge of extinction in the last century due to cannibalism.

The remaining dozen or so joined You-Know-Who, and during the White Terror period of You-Know-Who's reign, they committed some of the most brutal Muggle massacres.

Many of the giants who served You-Know-Who died at the hands of Aurors battling the dark forces, but Friedeval was not one of them.

The most savage giantess who ever lived, she likely fled to some giant village that still exists in the foreign mountains.

If we analyze Hagrid's erratic behavior in Care of Fantastic Creatures class, Friedwafer's son seems to have inherited his mother's cruel nature.

In an unexpected turn of events, Hagrid is said to have developed a close friendship with the boy who caused You-Know-Who to lose power, thereby keeping Hagrid's real mother incognito, like the rest of You-Know-Who's followers. Tibet.

Perhaps Harry Potter was unaware of these unpleasant things about his bulky friend, or what danger and evil lurked around him, but Albus Dumbledore was undoubtedly responsible Make sure Harry Potter and his classmates are aware of the dangers of interacting with half-giants.

The reporter of this newspaper will continue to follow up and report on this matter, and appeal to Hogwarts to take action as soon as possible on behalf of all the parents of the students.

"I can't believe it!" Harry said angrily, looking up at everyone after reading the newspaper, "I must give Malfoy a hard lesson, why do we all hate Hagrid, why do I suffer Hippogriff attack, Buckbeak saved his life last year, how can he say that."

Over the past year, Malfoy has unexpectedly treated Buckbeak very well, sending him food from time to time.

But it was obvious that his attitude towards Hagrid was still bad, but he was no longer targeting the Hippogriff.

"And this one, Crabbe got bitten by a Flobber caterpillar, they don't even have teeth."

Hermione didn't care about that, what she cared about was why Rita Skeeter knew about it.

"How did that nasty woman Skeeter find out?"

"It's no surprise that Hagrid wouldn't speak ill of us to her, and drove the woman mad, and went hunting around for him, and got revenge on him," said Harry, "and then he got the news , make it up to your heart's content!"

"After last night, almost half of the people in the castle knew about it!" Aiwen said.

"Yeah, it's not surprising that Skeeter knew about it even if you were hiding in the bushes on a date!" Ron said disapprovingly, "Hagrid is really good enough, that big fool actually talked about it." Talking about his mother being a giant, but not knowing that everyone else can hear it!"

Chapter 631 Excited Harry

Hagrid was nowhere to be seen for the next week.

He didn't show up at the staff table during meals, and he wasn't seen performing his gamekeeper duties on the grounds. Harry went looking for him several times, but he refused to show up, hiding in the cabin with the curtains drawn deadly.

Even his place was taken by the substitute teacher, Professor Graplan, when the new term started.

Professor Graplan was an elderly witch with cropped gray hair and a very prominent chin.

In all fairness, compared with Hagrid, her teaching level is much better, and she also knows how to choose the right magical creature.

In two classes on the first day of the new term, she showed third and fourth graders unicorns, which are far more popular than snails.

Professor Graplan told the students a lot about unicorns, some of which even Ivan didn't know.

Not to mention those girls, being able to touch the unicorn made them all excited to death.

All in all, Professor Graplan's excellent performance left a deep impression on all the little wizards.

She made everyone realize that protecting magical creatures can be so interesting, without the need for Malfoy and Slytherin to continue to slander, everyone's only sympathy for Hagrid is also quickly disappearing, and they all hope that Professor Graplan can stay.

"That's my magical creature class, a decent animal like a unicorn, not a monster!" Lavender told them over dinner. "I hope she stays..."

"What about Hagrid?" Harry asked angrily.

Lavender just kept talking about how good Professor Graplan was, which annoyed him.

"He can still be his gamekeeper, can't he?!" Lavender replied.

Noticing Harry's expression, Ron hastily tugged on her clothes, signaling Lavender to stop talking.

After the dance, the relationship between Ron and Lavender did not end as Ivan, Harry and Hermione expected, but became better and better.

Ron even tried to integrate Lavender into their small circle, but judging from the current situation, it was very difficult!

They are not the same people at all, and their personality concepts and views on things are too different.

Whether it's Ivan, Harry, Hermione, or Colin, Ginny, Gabriel, they can't chat with Lavender.

"No, we have to find Hagrid!" Harry said, putting down the knife and fork in his hand, "Go now, go and tell him, we want him back... Do you want him back?!"

He asked Hermione coldly, who had just praised Professor Graplan and thought her class was very good.

"I don't want to lie, it's not bad to take a decent protection of magical creatures once in a while, for a change, but I do want Hagrid to come back, of course I do!" Hermione was terrified by Harry's angry eyes , hastily added.

Harry nodded, "Then it's a deal, we're all going, we must let him come out to meet us..."

"I'm not going!" interjected Lavender, not noticing Harry's face, "I really don't understand why we have to let Hagrid stay. Compared with Professor Graplan, he is not a qualified person at all." Professor of Protection of Magical Creatures."

Harry gasped and walked away without rebutting Lavender, but he was undoubtedly terribly angry!

Ivan and Hermione hurried to catch up, but Ron hesitated for a moment, and stayed to comfort Lavender.

She looked equally aggrieved, thinking that she had said nothing wrong.

The fact is also true, she was just telling the truth, without considering her relationship with Hagrid, but she and Hagrid didn't seem to have any friendship either.

The field was still covered with thick snow and ice. After leaving the castle, Harry took big strides and walked fast, almost trotting all the way to Hagrid's cabin. Ivan and Hermione clenched their feet It took a lot of effort to catch up with him.

The last time Harry was so angry was when he faced Peter Pettigrew and learned the truth about the death of his parents.

In his mind, Hagrid has always had a very important position.

Lavender's words just now and the fact that Ron didn't follow up gave him a lot of stimulation.

He doesn't listen to Ivan and Hermione's persuasion at all now, he just wants to see Hagrid!

He was going to tell Hagrid himself that he didn't care if he was a half-giant or not!

Five minutes later, they came to Hagrid's cabin, the curtains still drawn.

Ai Wen knocked on the door, and could hear Fang Ya's low barking inside.

"Hagrid, it's us!" Harry yelled, walking over and banging on the door, "Open it!"

Hagrid didn't answer, and they could hear Fang scratching at the door and whining, but the door didn't open.

They knocked heavily for more than ten minutes, but there was still no response.

Ivan lay on the outside of the window and looked in through the gap in the curtains. Hagrid must be inside.

It's just the same as the previous few times, I don't plan to see them.

But Harry didn't intend to give up, he yelled loudly for a while, and saw Ron running over from the castle, panting.

As soon as he coaxed Lavender, he ran here, looked at Harry apologetically, kept apologizing, and explained what Lavender had just said.

Ron was able to come over, which made Harry feel better, and his mood swings were not as big as before.

As for what Lavender said, he didn't take it to heart at all, from the beginning to the end!

Harry continued to knock on the door, and Ron also knocked on a window, but there was no answer.

"Why is he avoiding us?" said Hermione. "He doesn't think we mind if he's a half-giant?"

"Obviously, he cares!"

"Enough, Hagrid, we know you're in there!" Harry yelled, pulling out his wand straight away, "Come out, no one cares that your mother's a giant, Hagrid! That nasty woman, Skeeter, you can't Let her succeed!"

A red light flashed from the end of his wand, and with a loud bang, the door to Hagrid's lower cabin was flung open!

Hagrid looked at the group of people barging in in surprise. He was sitting by the extinguished fireplace with two wine bottles in front of him.

There are more empty wine bottles on the ground, and the pungent smell of alcohol is in the air.

Hagrid looked very discomfited, with blotches on his face, red and swollen eyes, and he went to the other extreme when it came to his hair: he didn't try to keep it tidy anymore, it was now a tangled mess. wires together.

He even had on the shaggy brown suit he had worn at the Yule Ball.

"Hello, Hagrid!" said Harry, walking in first.

"Good!" said Hagrid, looking up, in a very hoarse voice.

Chapter 632 Persuading Hagrid

Following Harry, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione also walked into the cabin.

Yaya rushed towards them, barking wildly, trying to lick Alvin's ears.

Aiwen avoided Fang Fang and looked around, but he hadn't come for a few days. He couldn't believe that this was the familiar Hagrid's cabin.

The scene inside changed so much that Ron and Hermione were also very surprised.

Harry ignored the empty wine bottles and spoiled food on the floor and walked straight to Hagrid.

"Hagrid, cheer up!" he said loudly. "How can you be overwhelmed by such a small thing?!"

Hagrid didn't answer, he looked up at Harry with blank eyes.

The blood of the half-blood giant has always been a heart problem for him, and it has troubled him for decades, making him less confident.

Madam Maxim's performance made him completely give up.

Hagrid knew exactly what the giant represented, and he was afraid that others would gradually alienate him after they knew about it.

He just wanted to hide here alone, and never thought that Harry, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione would come.

What Hagrid was most worried about was, after knowing that he was a half-blood giant, would they still want to be friends with him? !

"Harry is right, Hagrid, don't pay attention to what that woman wrote!" Hermione continued, "You shouldn't be disturbed by what she said, she is purely spreading rumors, no one cares what she wrote s things."

"She didn't lie, I'm really a half-blood giant!" Hagrid choked up, two round teardrops flowed from his dark eyes and slowly seeped into his tangled beard, "My mother... "

"We don't care, even if you are a half-blood giant, there is nothing abnormal about you in my eyes."

"You don't understand, Harry..." said Hagrid, and many more tears rolled down his cheeks and seeped into his shaggy beard.

Harry was about to say something when a voice came from Hagrid's cabin.

"I'm sorry to bother you, but I think that since Harry really understands this matter better than you, Hagrid! The four of them came here, which means that they are still willing to make you a friend, and that's the most important thing!"

Everyone turned their heads, surprised to see Dumbledore standing in the doorway.

"Hello!" He said happily, looking at everyone with a smile.

"professor!"

"I'm glad to see you here. I'm here to talk to Hagrid about the resignation report he just submitted." Dumbledore said, walking in, "We can't just stand and sit Come down and have some tea, and talk while drinking!"

He took out his wand and fiddled with it lightly, and immediately a rotating tea tray and a plate of cake appeared in the air.

Dumbledore magically dropped the tea tray on the table, and everyone sat down.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked prim, and there was a moment's silence before Dumbledore offered everyone a cup of tea.

The conversation continued. Since Dumbledore has already come, there is nothing to worry about, and there is no need to go out on his own. Ivan sat by the bed with a tea cup in his hand, watching the steam coming out of the cup absently, and cast his eyes on Snow outside the window.
