Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

The two walked out of the Room of Requirement. The owl on the window sill flew towards Stephen after seeing the two come out. It was Holmes. It handed a letter to Stephen, who picked it up and read it.

"Stephen, what does it say?"

"It's Hagrid's reply. I sent him a letter in the morning, asking him if Petunia and I could visit him this afternoon. Hagrid agreed to our request."

"Oh, that's it." Rowan nodded, "It seems that I have to stay in the library alone in the afternoon."

Stephen felt that he had to tell Rowan, "Rowan, remember not to approach Chiara and the Forbidden Forest casually recently."

"Don't worry, Stephen, I cherish my life very much."

The two walked to the dining room while chatting, and Stephen saw Petunia sitting at the long Ravenclaw table, next to their usual seat. Penny saw them too and waved to them.

Stephen and Rowan walked over and sat down.

"Hi, Rowan." Petunia said hello to Rowan, then turned to look at Stephen with an excited expression, "Stephen, Hagrid sent me an invitation letter. I think you will usually sit down. It’s at this location, so I’ll wait for you here.”

Stephen nodded, "I just received a reply from Hagrid. He also said that he would bring Buckbeak here for you to meet."

"Really? That's great. I really want to meet Buckbeak, and preferably ride him in the sky for a while." Petunia looked very happy, "But why don't we set off now? "

Stephen considered that Hagrid's cooking skills fluctuated, so it was best to have lunch in the restaurant.

He shook his head: "No, Petunia. We have to settle lunch here first. It's still a bit far to walk to Hagrid's hut, and emmm"

Petunia saw Stephen speaking hesitantly and was a little curious, "And what?"

"Emmm, I think we'd better have lunch first. I think you know something about Hagrid's cooking skills."

"Oh, I think I know." Penny smiled and didn't take it to heart.

After the three of them had lunch, Rowan said goodbye to the two and went to the library alone. He planned to spend the afternoon studying the Wolfsbane Potion.

Stephen and Penny were walking on a trail, chatting as a pastime on the road.

"Stephen, I'm curious what you think of your brother." Penny turned her head and looked at Stephen, with a hint of exploration in her eyes.

Stephen and Penny looked at each other, then looked at the road ahead. He recalled the memory of his original body, "I actually don't have much impression of my brother. He only came back once at Christmas since the third grade. So I came back from My impression of him continued to fade after the age of seven.”

"So actually you and your parents don't know what he is doing?"

"My brother occasionally sends something back, but it's usually some potions and materials for making potions. He may only send letters home a few times a year. The last time we heard about him was in the Daily Prophet superior."

"Then what do you think of your brother's behavior?" Penny felt that she had not expressed clearly enough, so she added, "What is written in the newspaper."

"Frankly, I don't know." Stephen really didn't know how to view this matter. "My brother Jacob is very mysterious, and judging from the things he left me, what he did is also very mysterious. As for what is written in the newspapers, seeing is not necessarily believing.”

Stephen thought of Sirius, "It's not long until October. How about I find a way to tell Dumbledore the truth about their matter..."

"Stephen" Penny looked at Stephen as if he was thinking about something, "Stephen, watch the road."

She grabbed Stephen to prevent him from tripping over a rock in front of him. Stephen woke up from his thoughts, looked at his feet, and then turned to look at Penny.

"Oh, thanks, Penny. I was just thinking about something and wasn't paying attention to the road."

"You're welcome, Stephen. But can you tell me what you were thinking just now?" Penny took her hand back and the two of them continued to walk forward.

"I was thinking, what should I do if I know the facts of a thing, but there is no evidence for others to believe what I say." Stephen concealed what the facts were and only said a vague model.

"Hmm... It does seem a bit troublesome." Penny thought for a moment, "But your friends will definitely trust you, including me, of course."

Stephen smiled, "Thank you for your trust, but I don't think it's time to say it yet."

The two walked along the path for a while through the grassland and arrived at Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Buckbeak next to the hut was holding a ferret in his mouth, as if he didn't intend to eat it in one bite. Petunia looked at Buckbeak curiously as Stephen walked up the steps and knocked on the door of the cabin.

"Wait a moment." Hagrid's voice came from inside the room. His strong voice allowed Stephen to hear every word clearly even through the door panel. "Oh, welcome you two little guys."

Hagrid stepped away from the door so that Stephen and Petunia were not blocked by his huge body. "Come in, Stephen, um, and Petunia."

Petunia followed Stephen across the threshold and into the cabin. She looked at the furnishings in the cabin. There are some unnamed plants hanging on the ceiling, some of which should look like corn. A copper kettle is used to boil water in the brazier. There is a large bed in the corner with an oversized quilt.

"You two sit down wherever you want, I'll make some preparations first." The two sat down on the chairs next to the table in the middle of the hut.

Hagrid took out two large tin cups or tin cans from a cabinet and placed them on the table. Then he picked up the copper kettle and filled the two cans with tea.

"You two are the first guests I invited to the cabin." Hagrid laughed enthusiastically, but to Stephen and Petunia, he was not just laughing, but like thunder in their ears. generally.

Stephen secretly added a layer of magic to himself that could weaken the excessive volume. He had just found it in a book after searching for a long time in the Room of Requirement, and now he was just in time to try the effect.

Penny looked at Stephen's actions and gave him a sharp look, as if she was condemning Stephen's behavior with her eyes.

Stephen felt that the spell seemed to be working, at least Hagrid's voice didn't sound like it did just now. He noticed Petunia's gaze and waved his wand at Petunia, who nodded with satisfaction.

Hagrid took out three plates of snacks that had been prepared and put them on the table. "Stephen, you gave me a very good inspiration last time. I tried making this cake and I thought it suited my appetite. Because it was you who brought it to me." I was inspired, so I used the name you gave it and called it Rock Pie.”

Stephen nodded reluctantly. He really didn't expect that it was his own idea. He looked at the rock cake in front of him and swallowed involuntarily.

"Really, haha." Stephen's laughter was full of embarrassment, at least how he felt about it, "Hagrid, I think it's great that you can draw inspiration from the names I mentioned casually. But I just said I’ve already had lunch, so I’m not hungry yet, so thank you for your kindness.”

"Oh, okay, then Penny, try it. I think it tastes pretty good." Hagrid looked at Penny, his eyes seemed full of expectation. Stephen also looked at Penny, but his eyes were full of sympathy.
