Ryan and Justin looked back and saw a strong giant hurriedly running out of the woods.

He led a ferocious-looking hound and held a slingshot made of an unknown material in his hand. He waved his arms to tell the two to stop.

Justin shrank his head.

"Hello, Professor Hagrid." Ryan bowed.

These words immediately made Hagrid laugh shyly, and he touched his messy hair with his huge palms: "Oh, look, haha, don't shout like that, I'm not a professor."

"To me, every teacher in Hogwarts should be respected." Ryan still insisted.

This made Hagrid very happy. He touched his beard and said, "No need for this. I mean, thank you. If possible, could you call me 'sir'?"

"No problem, Mr. Hagrid." Ryan followed his words.

Hagrid grinned from the corners of his mouth to his ears. He rubbed his hands together, unable to think of what to say.

Justin pursed his lips and almost laughed again. Ryan was really good at pleasing the professor.

Fortunately, Hagrid did not forget his responsibilities after all. He slowly put a serious face on his face and said, "Kid, this is the Forbidden Forest. I think the principal should have told you that little wizards are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest."

"What's in there, sir?" Justin couldn't help but ask, "I heard from the seniors that there are vampires and werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. Is it true?"

"Oh, that's not your concern." Hagrid wiped his hands on his dirty moleskin coat and patted Justin's head gently, "Okay, don't Think about the Forbidden Forest, otherwise I will tell your dean."

"Actually, Mr. Hagrid, we didn't plan to enter the Forbidden Forest." Ryan said with a smile, "I just took my friends for a walk around the castle. You know, the food at Hogwarts has always been very good. My friend recently They’ve all gained a little weight.”

"Yes, children should do more activities." Hagrid nodded, he was a little embarrassed, "Sorry, I am a little nervous because of the two Weasley twins. They always want to break into the Forbidden Forest. Go inside."

He scratched his head and said, "Would you mind coming to my cabin for a cup of afternoon tea?"

Hagrid was very fond of these two polite little wizards.

"With pleasure." Ryan winked at Justin, and Justin nodded immediately.

Hagrid happily led the two little wizards towards the house.

Ryan looked up at the tall figure in front of him, feeling a little complicated.

Hagrid is a simple person, and this simplicity can even be called "stupid" to a certain extent.

Most of the time, Hagrid's character is actually quite likable, a cheerful and silly guy who is outspoken and knows everything.

But if you ask him to take on something important, you may have to be prepared to be screwed.

What doesn't match his appearance is Hagrid's inner sensitivity and vulnerability. He cares a lot about what others think of him, and he also expects others to respect him.

However, respect often requires corresponding strength and identity.

Hagrid's service is unreliable.

Even though he claimed to be Dumbledore's most trusted person, Old Dumbledore also said that he could even trust him with his life and fortune. In fact, most of the errands assigned to Hagrid ended up being messed up.

He makes mistakes too easily.

Perhaps Dumbledore can only sigh: I believe in your loyalty, but I don't believe in your brain.

Hagrid can be a good friend, but he can't be a good helper.

However, this doesn't have much to do with Ryan, who doesn't mind showing some kindness to the lovable hunk.

Ryan and Justin went to sit down in Hagrid's hut.To the young wizard, Hagrid's size meant that this shabby room was destined not to be called a "hut."Hams and pheasants hung from the high ceiling, as well as dried meat from unknown sources.

There was a large bed on one side of the room, and a small pink umbrella lay on a quilt made of rags.

There were messy things piled up in the corner opposite the bed, several crossbows were covered with dust, and the slingshot Hagrid had been holding was also thrown here.

There was only dark red charcoal in the fireplace directly opposite the table and chairs. Hagrid pulled a few pieces of wood and hay from the pyre beside the fireplace, stuffed them into the stove, and fanned them violently with his thick hands, and the flames started to rise. The ground burned.

He lifted up a large copper kettle with a black bottom and looked inside with squinted eyes. Then he got up with some embarrassment and went to fetch some water from outside the house.

Ryan stopped him and filled the copper pot with water using the clear water spring spell.

"Thank you, thank you." Hagrid smiled dryly and placed the copper kettle on the fireplace. "Would you like anything to eat?"

As he spoke, he pulled out a basket covered with cloth from under the bed. When he opened it, there were pieces of round pancakes inside.

Hagrid picked up a piece himself, handed a piece to Justin and Ryan each, and took a bite first.

Justin frowned and wanted to try it, but when he saw Ryan holding the pancake and doing nothing, he obediently put the pancake on his lap.

Hagrid took out another wine bottle from a wooden box under the table and said mysteriously: "This stuff is not for little wizards. Ah, do you mind if I take a sip?"

He took a big sip, and Ryan smelled the strong sweetness of honey and the smell of alcohol.

Hagrid wiped his lips and said: "You..."

Ryan introduced himself with a smile: "I am Ryan Franklin, and this is Justin Finch-Fletchley. We are both first-year Hufflepuff students."

"Ah... Hufflepuff, haha, uh, I mean, Hufflepuff is pretty good, right?" Hagrid smiled unnaturally, "I occasionally ask Professor Sprout to help me. Check on the vegetable garden.”

Ryan looked through Hagrid's window and saw pumpkin vines planted in the ground, with small lantern-like fruits hanging on the vines.

"Oh, that's for Halloween." Hagrid said sadly, "They haven't been growing well recently, and I'm a little worried that they won't be enough for Halloween."

"I think you can use the Growth Acceleration Spell and the Expansion Spell. If the quantity is not enough, you can also use the Replication Spell." Ryan said.

Hagrid's eyes widened in surprise: "Is this still possible? Can you help cast these spells?"

"Well, I'm happy to help. After all, I also want to have a perfect Halloween." Ryan said, "However, I have never had the chance to practice the accelerated growth spell, and the copying spell is a relatively advanced spell, so I can only try it. "

"That has helped me a lot!" Hagrid said happily, "Thank you Ryan, to be honest, I don't think you should enter Hufflepuff at all."

"Haha, Professor Dumbledore said the same." Ryan knew that Hagrid was such an outspoken person, so he didn't mind and just passed the blame. "I think the Sorting Hat may have his own considerations. Senior Cedric of our college doesn't Is it also excellent?"

"It seems so." Hagrid nodded, "That hat has had problems several times."

Ryan went to the vegetable field and tried the growth-accelerating spell. This ordinary household magic was naturally not a problem for Ryan, and he succeeded in one try.

Strips of pumpkin vines are pulled out from the main trunk, and then bear green fruits.However, because they were induced, these pumpkins appeared to be somewhat malnourished.

Ryan tried the expansion spell and immediately made a pumpkin grow to half a person's height.

"That's enough, that's enough." Hagrid smiled happily, "Let's keep the rest here for now. Halloween is still a while away."

He rubbed his hands together, as if he couldn't wait to try it himself, but he didn't want Ryan and Justin to know about his wand, so he finally suppressed it.

Hagrid scratched his head and felt that he should do something to thank Ryan. He smiled innocently, went back to the house and dug through the junk pile, and walked out carrying something as big as a horn.

"I don't have anything interesting here. I just happened to be in a bar... Well, I met a wizard in the market." Hagrid stuffed the horn into Ryan's arms. "He used this thing in exchange for taking it away from me. I got a unicorn horn, and it’s useless for me to keep it, so I’ll give it to you.”
