Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

Chapter 40 Mid-Autumn Festival (4)

Petunia looked at Hagrid and thought she should try it, but she hesitated after meeting Stephen's eyes.

In the end, Penny carefully picked up a piece of rock cake and put it into her mouth and took a bite.

"How about it, Petunia, is the rock cake I made delicious?" Hagrid looked at Petunia expectantly, wanting to hear praise from her.

Petunia felt like her teeth were about to break. She took advantage of Hagrid's opportunity to ask her to give her opinion and put the rock cake back on the plate. Then, regardless of the fact that the tea was still very hot, she picked up the jar and prepared to drink it.

Stephen couldn't stand it anymore, so he took the wand from an angle that Hagrid couldn't see and used a quick cooling spell on the jar in Petunia's hand. He didn't want Petunia to be tortured twice, otherwise she would be really miserable.

Petunia drank the tea and swallowed the small piece of rock cake that she couldn't chew. She looked at Hagrid and felt that she should be as tactful as possible, "Hagrid, I think you can think about it before making it." It needs to be softer. Although this cake is a little hard, it tastes good. I like it very much."

"Oh, it's great that you like it. I think you can take some back later." Whether Hagrid heard what Penny really meant is a mystery. I hope he can be softer in the future... ..

Petunia decided that she would never try Hagrid's food easily again. She took a sip of tea and put the jar down. "Hagrid, can I go see Buckbeak? I'm interested in flying in the sky." very interested."

I guess anything would be interesting now as long as she can stop eating the extremely hard rock cakes.

Hagrid picked up a piece of rock cake, took a bite, and then put it down. He felt that the hardness of the rock cake was just right.

He looked at Penny: "Actually, I think you can sit in the room a little longer, but since you are so interested in Buckbeak, of course, come with me, I think you have just seen it. "

Stephen and Petunia followed Hagrid out of the hut and came to the open space next to it.

The ferret Buckbeak mentioned earlier had disappeared and was preening its feathers on the grass.

Hagrid walked towards Buckbeak and stroked him, "Petunia, you need to be patient. Buckbeak is still very young and his temper is a bit grumpy."

Stephen felt that hearing the words "somewhat grumpy" from Hagrid meant that he was not ordinary grumpy.

He looked at Petunia and reminded in a low voice: "Penny, I think you need to do what Hagrid says honestly. Buckbeak is not an ordinary irritable person."

Penny nodded and stepped forward.

Hagrid looked at her and instructed: "Penny, you must bow to Buckbeak first, and you must maintain eye contact with him at the same time. When he bows to you in return, you can come over and pet him. Remember , you must walk slowly when you come here."

Petunia did as Hagrid said, but Buckbeak didn't return the favor.

Stephen shook his head. It seemed that Buckbeak's temper would never change. He walked up behind Petunia and said, "Penny, you have to do it again, bending deeper."

Petunia bowed again, and Buckbeak returned the bow with great reluctance, as if someone owed him hundreds of ferrets.

Petunia was about to walk over quickly, but Stephen hurriedly grabbed her arm.

"Oh, Petunia, you forgot to move slowly," Hagrid reminded, standing next to Buckbeak.

"Sorry, Hagrid, I'm so excited." Petunia turned to look at Stephen, "And thank you, Stephen."

Stephen shook his head and smiled, saying you're welcome, and then let go of Petunia's arm. Petunia walked over slowly, caressing Buckbeak gently.

"Okay, you can ride on it now. I think this little guy is still happy to have your beautiful little girl on it for a while."

Petunia nodded, and with the help of Hagrid, she mounted Buckbeak, and then Buckbeak carried Petunia into the sky.

On the other side, in the Potter family's hiding place, Dumbledore sat on a sofa and looked at the Potters and Sirius Black sitting in other seats.

"Professor Dumbledore, where did you get the news?" Lily spoke, her tone full of worry after listening to what Dumbledore had just told.

"A reliable informant." Dumbledore was obviously unwilling to say more about this matter. He began to tell the main purpose of this trip, "James, and Lily, you have escaped three times. Luck will not always favor you. You. So I’m here to remind you again that you must not reveal your location.”

"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore, I believe Sirius." James looked at Sirius, and Sirius looked at him. The two smiled at each other and nodded to each other.

"If someone can reveal your location, then this mole must be the person hiding next to you."

"I think it's Lupin." Sirius spoke. At this time, he was far less haggard than he would be ten years later. His hair was neatly combed, and his handsome appearance was accompanied by a set of white teeth. "He is always very low-key, and he handles everything. He has passed many documents, and he is still a "

"Black, you cannot doubt a person at will." Dumbledore interrupted what Sirius was about to say, "We cannot doubt a friend or an important member of the Order of the Phoenix when the matter is not clear yet."

"Sirius, Professor Dumbledore is right." James nodded, his golden brown eyes full of trust, "Remus is our friend, and he is also a person worthy of our trust. This has nothing to do with His identity, that’s not his fault, is it?”

"Well, James, I guess you're right."

"Okay, I think the purpose of my trip has been completed. Remember, don't reveal this location to others. I still have to go to the Longbottom family's hiding place." Dumbledore pulled Fox's tail feathers and prepared leave.

"Wait, Professor Dumbledore." Lily stopped Dumbledore, "I hope you will put this thing away. If anything happens to James and I, I hope you can hand it over to Harry at the right time. ."

Dumbledore looked into Lily's eyes. Her almond-shaped green eyes were full of tenderness as a mother, love for her son, courage and determination.

"I will, but I hope you and James can hand it over to him personally." Dumbledore nodded, took the thing from Lily's hand, and then disappeared with Fox.

"James, Lily, I think we really need to consider changing the Secret Keeper. Everyone knows about my relationship with you, and the Death Eaters will also focus on me. If we change the Secret Keeper to Peter, that will surprise everyone." After Dumbledore left, Sirius suggested.

"Sirius, I believe you will not betray us." James refused, "I don't think this is necessary."

"Okay, James, I respect your opinion. But this will be a backup plan."

"Of course, we are facing a madman." James nodded.

Lily brought out a plate of snacks from the kitchen and filled three cups with black tea. The three of them sat on the sofa and enjoyed the rare leisure time.

Unfortunately, Harry's cry broke the silence. James and Lily shook their heads helplessly, got up and walked into the room to look after their son.
