Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"Hagrid, in the past few days since that report was published, I have received many letters related to you. I want to bring them here to show you!" Dumbledore said, and his wand swiped in mid-air After a while, a heavy and large package fell on the ground, "These are all letters from the parents of the students. There are probably thousands of letters. They themselves went to school here and have a deep impression on you. They said to me very resolutely, If I fire you, they will never let it go, you can take a look!"

Rita Skeeter called on Hogwarts to expel Hagrid in an obsessive tone on behalf of the students' parents in the newspaper.

After reading this report, many wizards spontaneously wrote to Dumbledore to express their views.

It seems that everyone doesn't like being represented by others, and randomly publishes some suggestions that go against their original intentions.

Hagrid's popularity is not as bad as he imagined, and many people are willing to speak for him.

Next, Harry, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione began to open the letter and read the words in the letter to Hagrid.

Hearing these touching words, Hagrid cried even harder!

"Not everyone!" After a long time, he said hoarsely, "Not everyone wants me to stay."

"Honestly, Hagrid, if you're going to wait for the support of the whole world, you're going to be in this cabin for a long time," said Dumbledore, looking sternly from behind half-moon lenses. Come on, "Since I've been headmaster of this school, at least one owl has come a week criticizing the way I run the school. What do you think I should do? Shut myself in my study and refuse to talk to anyone ?!"

"But, but you're not a half-giant!" Hagrid said hoarsely.

"Hagrid, look what kind of relatives I have!" Harry said angrily. "Look at the Dursleys!"

"Excellent point of view!" said Professor Dumbledore. "My own brother, Aberforth, was prosecuted for indiscriminately bewitching a goat. Did you get up? No, not at all! He held his head up high, and went about his own way! Of course, I'm not sure he can read, so maybe he's not very brave..."

Ivan pouted, Dumbledore's younger brother Aberforth did more than abuse magic on goats.

After investigating the reports of the year, we know that there is an inexplicable and complicated relationship between him and the goat.

"Come back to your lessons, Hagrid," said Hermione softly. "Please come back, we really miss you."

Hagrid tried to hold back his sobs, but couldn't hold back his tears.

"The arrival of Harry, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione, and these letters can already explain everything!" Dumbledore stood up, "I don't accept your resignation report, Hagrid, but you can continue to rest for a week , I hope you will come back to class next Monday, and come to the auditorium to have breakfast with me at 08:30, no excuses are allowed."

Dumbledore walked towards the door, stopped only to bend over and scratch Fang's ear, and left the cabin.

When the door closed behind him, Hagrid buried his face in his hands as big as the lid of a dustbin and wept bitterly.

Hermione kept patting his arm, and finally Hagrid looked up, his eyes bright red.

"What a man, Dumbledore, what a man..."

Chapter 633 Hagrid's Past

"Hagrid?!"

"He's right, you're all right, I'm so stupid, my dad will blush for me now..." Hagrid's tears flowed again, and he wiped them away vigorously. "By the way, I haven't shown you a picture of my old dad, have I? Here it is!"

Hagrid stood up and went to the wardrobe, opened a drawer, and took out a photo. It showed a short wizard with black eyes like Hagrid's, squinted into a slit. He was sitting on Hagrid. There was a big smile on his shoulder.

Hagrid was seven or eight feet tall, judging by the apple tree next to him.

But his face was young, full, smooth, beardless, and looked 11 years old at most.

Seeing this photo, Ivan expressed even more doubts about how Hagrid's mother conceived him back then.

Hagrid's father is very short. Compared with giants, the ratio gap is too big, even bigger than Ivan imagined before!

"This was taken shortly after I went to Hogwarts!" said Hagrid hoarsely. "Dad was so happy, he thought I couldn't be a wizard, you know, because my mother... well, no Forget it! I've never been very good at magic, of course, but at least he didn't see me get expelled. He died, died of illness, when I was in my second year, and I was expelled shortly thereafter..."

"It was Dumbledore who stood by me after Dad died. Got me a job as a gamekeeper and he was very trusting. Always giving people a second chance, that's what sets him apart from other headmasters, understand Hagrid continued, "As long as someone has talent, Dumbledore will accept him to Hogwarts. He knows that even if a person comes from a bad background, he can still be successful, alas, this approach is very Respectable. But some people don't understand this and always discriminate against you because of your origin..."

Hagrid is right, the blood theory has always been very popular in the magic world.

Pure-blood wizards are born noble, they occupy the mainstream of the magical society, and look down on half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards.

Muggle-born wizards resented this, but they in turn discriminated against apprentice wizards such as werewolves, half-giants, and other non-human magical creatures.

Strict laws were enacted to restrict their development and facilitate their exploitation.

Like a hierarchical pyramid, layer upon layer.

Bloodline and birth create a natural gulf that cannot be bridged between the different wizarding and magical species.

In a sense, with the exception of a few pure-blood wizards, most wizards are victims.

But they are also perpetrators, continuing to discriminate against wizards and magical beings of lesser blood and origin than their own.

In the past, this concept has kept the magical heritage intact and protected wizards from Muggle persecution.

But now, this decadent and backward concept has restricted the rapid development of the magic world and should be stopped and discarded.

"They're always like that, and some cowards even pretend they're big-boned instead of telling the truth. I'm who I am, and I have nothing to be ashamed of." Hagrid wiped the last tear from his face, "'Never Ashamed,' my dad used to say, 'someone will discriminate against you for this, but they're not worth your trouble.' He was right. I'm so stupid, I'll never bother with that woman again, I promise you. Big bone, I want her to taste my big bone!"

Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other uneasily, and Hagrid continued talking because of his excitement.

Even if they were killed, everyone was unwilling to admit that they actually knew about the conversation between Hagrid and Madam Maxim, and Ivan and Hermione were on the sidelines at the time.

What Hagrid said at the beginning was very inspiring, but then it became a bit inexplicable!

It seems that Hagrid's resentment towards Madam Maxim is really deep enough!

Although the result was slightly different from what was expected, this matter was finally resolved!

Except for some Slytherin students, most people don't care whether Hagrid is a half-blood giant or not.

Everyone was very happy that he was able to return to school, although a large reason for this was because he changed the content of the curriculum.

I don't know if Hagrid is trying to make up for his fault with the snails, or because there are only two snails left, or because he wants to prove that if Professor Graplan can do it, he can do it too.

Anyway, after Hagrid came back to class, he continued Professor Graplan's class on unicorns.

It turns out that Hagrid knows no less about unicorns than he does about trolls.

Still, he clearly finds it a disappointment that the unicorns don't have tusks.

In the second week, Ivan and the others saw the two unicorn cubs that Hagrid had caught in the third-level protection of magical creatures class.

Cubs are not the same as adult unicorns, they are pure gold and very rare.

The girls were wild with joy when they saw them.

"These cubs turn silver at about two years old!" said Hagrid to the class. They are more gullible when they are young, and they don’t dislike boys very much, come here, come closer, if you want, you can pat them, and give them a few pieces of these sugar cubes..."

In class, all the students went up to touch the unicorn one by one, and everyone was very excited.

At the same time, everyone's impression of Hagrid changed drastically.

Campus life has returned to calm, and the next thing to consider is to help Ron get through the second game.

After Christmas, the game date is very close!

Harry and Hermione kept reminding Ron now and then, but he hadn't made any real progress with the golden egg.

Although he studied it every day, Ron didn't fully focus on it.

Apart from the daily sessions, he and Lavender were alone for longer and longer.

The two of them would sneak out in the evening, dating inside the castle, looking for empty classrooms, almost every day.

Ron and Lavender are progressing very fast, and both sides are very open in this regard, which makes Ivan very envious.

He and Hermione were alone every night too, but not all day long in that sort of thing.

Not to mention going to empty classrooms like Ron and Lavender, almost all of their time was spent in the library.

Only when they returned to the common room for supper late at night would they say a few ambiguous words of mutual concern.

Very plain, also very happy, very sweet.

This is enough to make Ivan feel satisfied, but if he can be more bottomless, he has no objection.

Chapter 634 The Swimming Krum

Regarding the secret of the golden egg, Ivan did not tell Ron, which would easily arouse suspicion from others.

That would be too obvious, and it wouldn't make much sense.

The key to the second game was not the information in the golden egg, but how to get Ron to dive underwater.

There is no need to count on magic spells. Given Ron's current situation, it is not practical and unreasonable for him to fully master the use of such difficult spells. It is better to use gill sac grass, which is more suitable he.

Gill grass is a magical plant that grows near the Mediterranean Sea, and it is very rare.

At Hogwarts, only Snape's private locker had it.

As for how to get the gill sac grass, that is a headache for Keresis, and Ivan is not going to intervene.

On the last day of the Christmas holidays, he had the opportunity to have another talk with the vampire.

Aiwen's worries seemed superfluous. Voldemort's affairs outside the school did not make any progress. At least the people of Keresis did not give him any feedback. Except for helping Ron with all his strength, he has never received any information. new order.

As for why Barty Crouch fell ill, and where Voldemort is currently, he didn't even know anything.

Kerexis is really not a qualified spy, he didn't get Voldemort's trust at all.

Just like treating the enemy, the other party is hiding everything from him now, or directly giving wrong information.

But think about it carefully, Voldemort is like this, he has never trusted anyone except himself.

It also took Snape decades to contribute countless private information of the Order of the Phoenix before he was able to lurk beside Voldemort.

A vampire like Keresis who neither joined the Death Eaters, but devoted himself to Voldemort, and has always planned for himself to tarnish the noble blood of Slytherin, will be ruthlessly abandoned after Voldemort regains his strength.

Keresis is also very aware of this, so he will form an alliance with Aiwen.

Although he didn't know the key information, Ivan still knew something from him.

It was the new measure that Percy kept talking about at the ball. After so many accidents in the first game, Barty Crouch suggested that all the facilities for the next two games should be built by the Ministry of Magic for safety reasons.

The Ministry will send someone to check the safety of the facility, and Hogwarts must not intervene.

The purpose of doing this is obvious, the prevention of danger is secondary, and it becomes easier to do whatever you want.

Barty Crouch could do it all by himself without even Keresis' help.

Keresis has reservations about whether Barty Crouch Jr. is impersonating his father.

He just told Ivan not to forget the Imperius Curse, as long as there is a chance, Barty Crouch Jr. can use this spell to control many people for him to drive.

With the ability of the little wizard, it is impossible to resist breaking free from the control of the spell.

This is also the main reason why, during Voldemort's reign, all wizards were panicked.

It would be a nightmare if Barty Crouch Jr. actually used the Imperius Curse at Hogwarts.

In this case, it would be foolish to look for Barty Crouch Jr., even if he found it, it would be useless.

Only by strengthening one's own strength as soon as possible is the key to cracking everything, and Aiwen moved forward steadily according to his own plan.

Time passed, and in mid-January, the students all went to Hogsmeade Village to play.

Aiwen made an appointment with Sirius, and today he will practice Apparation with him, and everyone will follow him to visit Sirius.

Hermione disapproved of Ron going to Hogwarts, "Ron, I thought you would take advantage of the fact that there was no one in the common room and it was relatively quiet, to study that golden egg."

"But I have an appointment with Lavender to go together..." Ron noticed Hermione's face, and stopped wisely, "Oh, about that golden egg, I have actually figured out that it is What do you mean!"

Ron ruffled his hair uneasily. He had lied.

To be honest, he had had enough of that golden egg that only made noise, and he kind of wanted to give up.

During this time, as soon as he returned to the dormitory, he took out the golden egg from the box, opened it, and listened carefully, hoping to find out the mystery, and forced himself to think that besides reminding him of thirty musical saws, what else could the sound have? To remind him of something else.

But Ron couldn't think of anything, he'd never heard a sound like this before.

He closed the golden egg, shook it vigorously, and then opened it again to see if there was any change in the sound.

No, it's still the same!

He also tried asking questions of the golden egg, shouting at the top of its screams, but got nowhere.

He even set fire to the golden egg, and threw it heavily on the ground, though he himself did not expect it to be of any use.

All in all, Ron has been doing futile work lately and is on the verge of breaking down.

He needed to relax, and even though it made him a little guilty to say it, there was no way he'd miss a date with Lavender.

It was only now that Ron realized that it was really nice to have a girlfriend.

As for proving that he is a true Hogwarts warrior, winning the game or something, it has become a secondary goal.

Being able to win the fire dragon, he was already very satisfied in his heart, and his desire to prove himself was not as strong as before.

The thought of Hermione's amazing dress at the ball made Ron feel a little uncomfortable, and the strange emotion made him not want to listen to Hermione's suggestion.
