Hogwarts Reading Days

"What's its name?" Albert asked after shoving the sandwich in his mouth into his mouth and rubbing the head of the hound with both hands.

"Yah." Hagrid replied subconsciously.

"Ya? It feels like the big dog's momentum has disappeared all of a sudden, how about calling him Spike?" Albert casually gave Yaya a new name.

"I think it's good to be called Fangya." Hagrid stopped cleaning the mink and shook his head to reject Albert's kindness.

"My name is Albert Anderson, are you also a professor at Hogwarts?" Albert asked knowingly.

"No, I'm the hunting ground guard." Hagrid continued to shake his head.

"Does the hunting ground refer to the woods over there?" Albert raised his finger and pointed in the direction of the Forbidden Forest. Before Hagrid could answer, he continued, "I heard that there are werewolves in the woods, is this true?"

"Are you a Ravenclaw student?" Hagrid asked uncertainly.

Albert squinted and snickered at the three behind him, and replied, "No, we are all Gryffindor students."

"Oh, Gryffindor students," Hagrid said suddenly seriously, "I won't let you go into the woods..."

"Cough, Albert, how do you know this dog will rub your head, I just felt it was very fierce." George quickly diverted Hagrid's attention.

The three of them all came over and started rubbing Fang Fang's dog's head.

"Intuition, probably. I have a cat myself, but I didn't bring it to school." Albert casually made an excuse to prevaricate, "By the way, Mr. Hunting Ground Guard, you don't mind letting me take a photo another day!"

"You can call me Hagrid." Hagrid didn't refuse, he just suddenly recalled some past events.

"Well, Mr. Hagrid. Well, Hagrid..." Albert quietly brought the relationship closer.

"What are you taking pictures for?" Hagrid asked.

"I want my family to know about my life at Hogwarts, they're Muggles and they don't know anything about Hogwarts," explained Albert.

"It's best not to reveal too much about the wizarding world to Muggles, it might get you into trouble," Hagrid reminded with a frown.

"Oh, I see." Albert looked at Hagrid, thought about it, but then said the other way around, "Because of the secrecy law?"

"You know this?" Hagrid was a little surprised how Albert knew the law of secrecy. A Muggle wizard who had just entered Hogwarts should have very limited knowledge of the magic world.

Albert briefly told Hagrid about Truman's misfortune.

The hunting ground guard was stunned after hearing this, and he said softly: "I don't know much about secrecy laws, but I only know that underage wizards will be warned if they use magic in front of Muggle family members. Residential areas, the use of magic in the presence of Muggles is a crime under the Act and will result in immediate expulsion."

"Has there been any cases of expulsion from Hogwarts?" Albert discovered that he had indeed cheated on Truman, no wonder it would have been a letter of expulsion, not a letter of warning.

"As far as I know, there shouldn't be." Hagrid wasn't very clear either.

"Your case is an exception," Fred explained, clearing his throat. "It's just that the hapless Truman bumped into you by accident."

"Yeah!" Albert thought about it and knew the reason. There should be some Muggle little wizards who received warnings, but they were usually frightened by letters, and they didn't dare to use magic at the risk of being expelled.

"By the way, Hagrid, there are dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest. Why doesn't Dumbledore allow new students to enter the Forbidden Forest?" Albert pulled the topic back and talked about the topics that everyone was interested in now.

"There are many dangerous and magical animals in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid nodded.

"Like a werewolf?" Albert asked with a raised eyebrow.

"Yes, werewolf."

"Isn't it said that if you are bitten by a werewolf, you will become a werewolf? Dumbledore actually allows the students to be neighbors with werewolves?" Albert raised his doubts.

"Werewolves are in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, so they won't easily appear around the school, and..." When Hagrid spoke, his eyes were dodging a little, obviously with a guilty conscience.

"Hagrid, have you ever seen a unicorn?"

……

……

"This is the first question?" The three of them whispered beside them.

"Ten...or twelve?"

However, the three still admired Albert, and they had all noticed that Albert almost made the situation in the Forbidden Forest messed up by asking.

They also found that Hagrid had a soft spot for fire dragons, and when Albert talked about fire dragons, Hagrid was particularly excited to introduce the fire dragons.

As for the forest outside the Forbidden Forest, there is actually no danger. Students occasionally take classes there, but if they continue to go deeper into the Forbidden Forest, they may encounter centaurs, werewolves, unicorns and other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that Albert had a soft spot for unicorns, Hagrid gave him a small bundle of unicorn tail hairs, and before they left, warned the four not to try to enter the Forbidden Forest.

Albert stopped, suddenly turned his head and asked, "Hagrid, is there a guardian tree in the forest?"

"The protector tree? You mean the Yamanashi tree?" Hagrid asked puzzled.

"Yes." Albert nodded and said, "This tree has been mentioned in both the herbal medicine class and the Defense Against the Dark Arts class. It can really ward off evil spirits... I mean to drive away dark magic creatures?"

"It's really useful." Hagrid nodded.

"That...can you help me...I mean I want a small section of dead yams."

"What do you want that thing for?" Hagrid asked suspiciously.

"I'm going to make a gift for my sister. I heard that the protector tree has the effect of shelter. I can pay some Galleons." Albert said embarrassedly.

"No need, I have time to go into the woods to help you take a look, but don't expect too much, the tree-protecting pot generally won't let people touch the mountain pear tree at will." Hagrid understood Albert's meaning.

Yamanashi, do you shelter your family?

That's great.

"Thank you, Hagrid," said Albert gratefully, and he began to think about what Christmas present to give him.

"You're welcome." Hagrid scratched his head, embarrassed.

Like Fang, Hagrid is clearly not as fierce as he looks.

"you are great."

On the way back to the castle, the three of them praised Albert with a thumbs up.

"Do you want it?" Albert asked, taking out the small bundle of unicorn tail hairs from his pocket.

"Forget it, what do you want this for?"

"As a birthday present for my sister, she must have never seen a unicorn tail hair!" Albert had already thought about it. If there was no wood from the Yamanashi tree, he would use a unicorn tail hair to weave a bracelet and give it to him. Nia makes a birthday present.

"Birthday gift?" Several people looked at each other.

"By the way, what birthday present did we give Ginny this year?" Fred suddenly asked his twin brother.

"Liquorice wand."

"What about Ron?" Fred asked again.

"Fudge flies and cockroach skewers," George said without hesitation.

Albert suddenly felt that it was not easy for Ron to stand on such a brother.
