Hogwarts Scholar System

Chapter 223 Persuading Hagrid

Hagrid sat at the table with two large teacups in front of him.He looked very embarrassed.His face was splotched, his eyes were red and swollen, and he had gone to the other extreme when it came to his hair: He no longer managed to keep it neat, and it was now a tangled mess of wires.

"Hello, Hagrid," said Harry.

Hagrid looked up.

"Okay." He said in a very hoarse voice.

"Drink some more tea." Dumbledore said, closing the door behind Harry, Ron and Hermione, taking out his wand and fiddling with it, a rotating tea tray and a plate of cakes immediately appeared in the air .

Dumbledore used magic to make the tea tray fall on the table and everyone sat down.After a moment of silence, Dumbledore said: "Hagrid, did you hear what Miss Granger shouted?"

Hermione's face was slightly red, and Dumbledore smiled at her and continued: "Judging from the way they tried to break in just now, it seems that Hermione, Harry and Ron are still willing to make you a friend."

"Of course we are still willing to be friends with you!" Harry looked at Hagrid and said, "Do you think that Skeeter the cow - I'm sorry, Professor." He said quickly, looking at Dumbledore.

"I was temporarily deaf and didn't hear what you were saying, Harry." Dumbledore said mischievously.He twirled his thumbs and stared at the ceiling.

"Well - well," said Harry uneasily, "I mean - Hagrid, what makes you think we care about what that - woman - writes?"

Two round tears trickled from Hagrid's dark eyes and slowly seeped into his tangled beard.

"Hagrid, this just proves what I just said." Dumbledore said, still looking at the ceiling intently. "I have read you countless letters from parents who went to school here. They said to you I was very impressed. They told me very firmly that if I fired you, they would never let it go—"

"Not everyone," Hagrid said hoarsely, "not everyone wants me to stay."

"To be honest, Hagrid, if you want to wait for the support of the whole world, I'm afraid you will have to stay in this small house for a long time." Dumbledore said, at this time, his eyes shot sternly from behind the half-moon lenses. Come here, "Ever since I became principal of this school, at least one owl has sent me a letter every week criticizing the way I run the school. What do you think I should do? Lock myself in my study and refuse to talk to anyone. ?”

"But - you are not a half-giant!" Hagrid said hoarsely.

"What's wrong with being a giant, Hagrid!" Harry said angrily, "Compared to my uncle's family before, you are more like my family!"

"Oh, Harry!" Hearing Harry say this, Hagrid was moved to tears again.

"Come back and teach, Hagrid," Hermione whispered. "Please come back, we really miss you."

Hagrid fought back a sob.Many more tears rolled down his cheeks and seeped into his shaggy beard.

Dumbledore stood up. "I don't accept your resignation, Hagrid. I want you to come back to class next Monday."

He said, "You come to the auditorium at 08:30 to have breakfast with me. No excuses are allowed. I wish you all a good afternoon."

Dumbledore walked towards the door, stopping only to bend down and scratch Fang's ears before leaving the hut.When the door closed behind him, Hagrid buried his face in his hands as big as a dustbin lid and cried sadly.Hermione kept patting his arm. Finally, Hagrid finally raised his head, his eyes red, and he said: "What an amazing person, Dumbledore, an amazing person..."

"Yeah, he's amazing," said Ron. "Can I have a piece of cake, Hagrid?"

"Just eat it," Hagrid said, wiping his eyes with the back of his hand. "Oh, of course, he is right, and you are all right. I am so stupid! If I do this, my father will definitely do it for me. "I feel blushing." Tears flowed out again. He wiped them away hard and said, "I haven't shown you my old dad's photo, have I? Here..."

Hagrid stood up and walked to the wardrobe, opened a drawer, and took out a photo. On it was a short wizard with the same black eyes as Hagrid's, narrowed into a slit. He was sitting on Hagrid's desk. smiled happily on his shoulders.Judging from an apple tree nearby, Hagrid was seven or eight feet tall, but his face was young, plump, smooth, and without a beard. He looked at most 11 years old.

"This was taken shortly after I entered Hogwarts," Hagrid said hoarsely. "Dad was so happy. He thought I couldn't become a wizard, you know, because of my mother. Alas, forget it. That's fine. Of course, I've never been very good at magic, but at least he didn't see me getting expelled. He died when I was in second grade..."

"After my father died, it was Dumbledore who always protected me. He found me a job as a gamekeeper. He was very trusting. He always gave people a second chance. This is what makes him different from other headmasters. As long as If he has talent, Dumbledore will accept him to Hogwarts.

He knew that even if a person had a bad background, he would still be successful.Alas, this approach is very respectable, but some people don't understand it.Some people will always discriminate against you because of your origin.

Some people even pretend to say that they are big-boned, but dare not boldly tell the truth. I am who I am and have nothing to be ashamed of. 'Never be ashamed,' my old dad used to say, 'someone will judge you for it, but they're not worth the trouble. 'He's right.I'm so stupid.I'll never worry about that woman again, I promise you.Big bone, I want her to taste my big bone! "

Harry, Ron and Hermione looked at each other uneasily.Harry would rather take fifty Blast-Ended Skrewts for a walk than admit to Hagrid that he had eavesdropped on his conversation with Madam Maxime.But Hagrid kept talking, apparently unaware that he had said something incomprehensible.

"You know, Harry?" he said, looking up from the picture of his father, his eyes very bright, "when I first met you, you reminded me of myself. Both your parents were dead and worried You didn't fit in at Hogwarts, remember? You didn't believe you were really capable, but look at you now, Harry! The warrior of the school!"

"And Hermione, who is born as a Muggle, but is always the youngest. Their self-proclaimed noble wizards can't invent the spells that Hermione can't learn." Hagrid paused for a moment, and then said to Harry and Hermione, "Harry, Hermione, you must win. Let them all know that the blood of wizards does not mean everything. There is no need to be ashamed of your origin. This will make them all see that Dumbledore's point of view is correct Yes, as long as a person has magical talents, he should be allowed to enter the school. How are you doing with your golden eggs, Harry and Hermione?"

"It's good," Harry lied. He still hadn't figured out how to breathe underwater. "It's really good."

Hagrid's sad face broke into a bright and wet smile. "Such a good boy of mine, show 'em, Harry, show 'em. Beat 'em all."

"Aren't you going to go in?" Dumbledore said. Although there was no Moody's magic eye, Dumbledore still accurately judged Maple's location, and the Disillusionment Curse seemed to be useless in front of him.

This also reminded Maple that if he wanted to rely on the Disillusionment Curse to sneak attack a top wizard like Voldemort, it would be a bit too naive.At the same time, Maple also felt that it was necessary to train her sense of magic to avoid being cursed by others.His current magic power is so sharp that he cannot detect the approach of invisible enemies.

"No need," Maple said.

"Come back with me!" Dumbledore said.

"Okay." Maple agreed.

"Maple, you have always been a very good student. Your excellence surprises me. Sometimes being with you is like being with an adult. It's just that you do this."

"There's something wrong, right? I know that, but I really don't want her to take risks!" Maple said.

"But is it really fair to her?" Dumbledore said.

"Like you did to Harry?" Maple asked.

"You noticed," Dumbledore said meaningfully, "Yes, we cannot replace them, we must give them the opportunity to grow!"

"You are right. If I were not afraid that Professor Trelawney's prediction would come true, I would have let it go." Maple sighed.

"Professor Trelawney's prophecy?" Professor Dumbledore asked in shock.

"Yes." Maple then told Dumbledore about Professor Trelawney's several prophecies. "If Harry hadn't told me about Professor Trelawney's real prophecy, I and others would have I also thought she was just a liar. Then I checked some of Professor Trelawney’s previous predictions, and those prophecies that made the students think she was a liar all came true.

The results of many of her prophecies are somewhat different from the meaning of the prophecies. I think Professor Trelawney herself does not know the results that her prophecies really point to.The predicted results can be big or small, and sometimes they come true within a few months, while others take years to be verified.

But in any case, these predictions have come true in some unpredictable way and with results.

After knowing this, I started to get scared.That scene with the boggart in front of me, I really didn't want to see it happen. "

"These predictions made by Professor Trelawney are not the real predictions she made. I think these can still be changed!"

"Have you ever considered that if you stop Hermione, the danger predicted by Professor Trelawney's latest prophecy may point to Cedric?" Dumbledore said.

"Destiny is really unpredictable. Sometimes I struggle desperately, but I seem to fall into a deeper whirlpool of fate. But even if it is a meaningless struggle, I will persevere to the end." Maple said slowly, with confusion in his eyes. The color faded away, replaced by a determined expression, "Either don't do it, or you won't regret it!"

Time seems to be sped up like an alarm clock that has been wound up. As I check library materials day after day, the time for the start of the second project is getting closer and closer.

The function of Cedric's Head Bubble Charm was not discovered by the public. Instead, it was a student who liked pranks who first developed its magical effect.After using dung eggs to hurt each other, the bubble head spell can avoid the stench of the dung eggs.

After casting the spell, it feels like there is a big bubble on your head. As long as enough air is stored in the bubble, you can easily move underwater.

This is a very obscure spell. Hermione looked through the books in the library and even went to the restricted area but could not find a single word about this spell.

Just when Maple felt at ease, Hermione had mastered the Head Bubble Charm.Fred and George, two guys who always carry a big bag of dung balls, must know the head-soaking charm, but Harry and Hermione did not ask them for help, but there was a senior of Fred and George beside them - —Sirius Black.

The underwater environment is no better than on the ground. Not only is it difficult to aim, but the power of many spells is also greatly reduced.While Hermione was thinking about what spells to use in underwater combat, Harry was still practicing the Bubble Charm.

I don’t know if Hagrid was trying to make up for his mistake with the Blast-Ended Skrewts, or because there were only two Blast-Ended Skrewts left, or because he wanted to prove that what Professor Grupplan could do, he, Hagrid, could do the same. .Anyway, after Hagrid came back to class, he continued Professor Graplan's lesson on unicorns.As it turns out, Hagrid knows just as much about unicorns as he does about trolls, although he apparently finds it disappointing that unicorns don't have fangs.

Today, he actually caught two unicorn cubs.Cubs are different from adult unicorns in that they are solid gold.Parvati and Lavender were beside themselves with joy when they saw them, and even Pansy Parkinson had to hide herself from revealing how much she loved them.

"Kids are easier to spot than adults," Hagrid told the class. "They turn silver when they are about two years old, and develop their horns when they are about four. They don't turn pure white until they reach adulthood, which is about seven. About [-] years old. When they were young, they were more gullible and not very disgusted with boys. Come here, come closer. If you like, you can pat them and give them a few pieces of these sugar cubes..."

"Are you confident, Harry?" Hagrid stepped aside and asked in a low voice while everyone was gathering around the unicorn cub.

"It's not bad." Harry said. He finally mastered the Head Soaking Charm, but he was really not confident about defeating Hermione, who had already practiced many spells used underwater. .

"A bit nervous, aren't you?" said Hagrid.

"Sort of," said Harry.

Although Harry's performance in the first game was excellent, compared to Hermione's strength, Harry's performance was not so impressive.

Hagrid saw Harry's worry, and after giving Harry a few words of encouragement, he was able to say: "Harry, try your best and don't let yourself have any regrets!"
