A Hogwarts dissertation guide

Harry finished reading quickly and looked up at Ron.Ron opened his mouth blankly.

"How did she find out?" he asked quietly.

But that wasn't what Harry had in mind.

"What does this mean? We all hate Hagrid?" Harry said angrily, "What are you writing on this? It's all made up of nothing. Didn't the Ministry of Magic say that Buckbeak and Hagrid were not wrong?"

"I don't know what's going on." Pansy said regretfully, "The hybrid giant... I didn't expect it before. We always thought he just drank a bottle of oxytocin after he was an hour... But if all the above It’s true. I’m afraid the students’ parents won’t agree... They are worried that he will eat their children..."

"This--"

"Are you paying attention to the lecture?" Professor Graplan's voice came here, "And you, Miss Parkinson, didn't you hear me? The girls are all coming with me." She waved her hand to signal Pansy to hurry over. .

Professor Grapeland was enumerating the many magical properties of unicorns, speaking loudly so that the boys could hear her.

"I really wish she could stay, the female teacher." Pansy said - the class was over by now, and everyone was returning to the castle for lunch. "This is what we think of Care of Magical Creatures class... like the Unicorn A decent animal like a beast, not a monster like a snail..."

"What about Hagrid?" Harry said dissatisfiedly as they climbed the stone steps.

Even they didn't notice that Pansy was among a kind of Gryffindor students, as if the house was becoming less important at the moment.

"What should he do? He can still be the same as before." Pansy asked puzzledly, "At least this way there won't be so many problems, and the parents won't hold Dumbledore and Hagrid accountable."

"But Hagrid is our friend, we can't watch him like this..." Ron said hesitantly, but even he didn't believe his own words.

In fact, in Ron's mind (or in the eyes of most wizards), the hybrid giant basically destined Hagrid to never gain their trust, even if they were very good friends.

Maybe Ron would understand, but it might take some time.

But I'm afraid more people can't understand it. After all, it's deeply hidden in blood. In the wizarding world, where blood is the mainstay, there is probably nothing more serious than blood discrimination.

"But is there any better way?" Pansy asked puzzledly, "Do you want Hagrid to receive shouting letters from others every day?"

"Then we can't let things become like this." Harry said matter-of-factly.

"So you plan to change the entire wizarding world's view of hybrid giants?" Pansy said helplessly. She knew that Harry did not grow up in a wizarding family and didn't know what the wizarding world thought, but she had to tell Harry this. , we can't let everyone's contradictions be directed at Harry.

"Then we can't let Hagrid be wronged like this!" Harry said angrily, "Obviously we all know how kind Hagrid is."

Pansy just looked at him and said nothing.

"Okay, I have to admit, the Blast-Ended Skrewt is not a good creature." Harry said helplessly, "But we can't let Hagrid be slandered like this by Skeeter."

"This class was really good," Hermione said as they walked into the Great Hall. "Professor Grupplan told us about unicorns, and I didn't know half of it -"

"Look at this!" Harry shouted angrily, thrusting the newspaper clipping Pansy had given him under Hermione's nose.

Hermione read the article, her mouth wide open in surprise.Her reaction was exactly the same as Ron's.

"How did Rita find out? It couldn't have been Hagrid who told her, right?" Hermione asked doubtfully, "He later contacted Rita?"

"No," Harry said, leading the way towards the Gryffindor table and plopped down in his chair, furious.Pansy finally realized what she was doing and trotted back to the Slytherin table.

"He's been hiding this from us, right? Last time Hagrid always wanted to continue chatting with her. Could it be that Hagrid was even willing to reveal his secret just to get into the newspapers? This is impossible, absolutely impossible."

"Perhaps she heard what Hagrid told Madame Maxime at the ball?" Hermione whispered.

"In that case, Professor Rumple wouldn't have discovered it?" Harry said. "He and Hagrid are good friends. If he found out that Skeeter was there, how could he not say anything? Besides, she shouldn't have entered again. At school, Hagrid said Dumbledore banned her..."

"Maybe she has an invisibility cloak," Harry said, ladling chicken soup onto his plate - he was so angry that he spilled it everywhere. "She could do something like this. Really? Hiding in the bushes and eavesdropping on others?"

"You mean, Teacher Lumpo and I?" Hermione was also a little angry.

"You didn't eavesdrop on purpose!" Ron said firmly, "You just happened to be nearby, and Professor Lumpo already knew it."

"We have to go see him." Harry said, "This evening, after Divination class. Tell him we want him back... Do you want him back?" He asked Hermione coldly.

"I - well, I don't want to lie, but ask yourselves, is Hagrid really a competent Care of Magical Creatures teacher? In the past two years, he - of course, I do hope that Hagrid Come back, of course I hope!" Hermione added hastily, frightened by Harry's angry gaze.

So, after dinner that day, the three of them left the castle again and walked across the snow-covered grounds towards Hagrid's hut.They knocked on the door and heard Fang's deep barking.

"Hagrid, it's us!" Harry shouted, beating the doors hard, "Open the door!"

Hagrid didn't answer. They could hear the teeth scratching at them and whining, but the door didn't open and they knocked hard for more than ten minutes.Ron even went over and knocked on a window, but no reply yet.

"Why is he avoiding us?" Hermione asked - then they finally gave up and walked towards the school. "He doesn't think we mind that he is a half-giant, does he?"

However, it seems Hagrid does care.They didn't see him for a whole week.He was not seen by the staff at mealtimes, nor did they see him performing his duties as a gamekeeper in the grounds.

Professor Grubbly-Plan continued to serve as a substitute teacher for the Care of Magical Creatures class. Most students liked Professor Grubbly-Plan very much, and for a while no one seemed to care about Hagrid.
