I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 186 Fishing in Black Lake

In the end, Harry did not confess to Dumbledore, and Hermione ignored them for several days.It doesn't matter to Orlando. Young people will always be a little rebellious.

As expected, Hagrid still lost the lawsuit. Even if he used all the cards prepared by Hermione and won the argument, these paid bureaucrats still sentenced Buckbeak to death.

Hermione was so heartbroken that big tears fell down, leaving Orlando at a loss.

"This is Hagrid's reply," she handed Orlando a piece of paper with Hagrid's scrawled handwriting on it.

Dear Hermione: We lost and they allowed me to take it back to Hogwarts.The date for the execution is yet to be decided. Buckbeak loves London. I will not forget the help you have given us. Please tell Orlando for me that I will do as he arranges. ——Hagrid.

"Isn't this expected? Besides, we have arranged a backup plan a long time ago. Hagrid is not discouraged, so you shouldn't be sad." Orlando persuaded her for a while, and Harry and Ron also came over to persuade her, and finally let her Stopped crying.

"Let's go see if Buckbeak is okay, and I'll prepare some dried fish for him." Hermione suggested.

What could Orlando say? Hermione had always felt guilty about this matter. If she was not allowed to do something, she would probably feel uncomfortable all the time. So they made an appointment to leave the castle and go to Hagrid's cabin to visit it.

Hagrid tied Buckbeak in his yard. Hermione walked over and poured a bunch of dried fish into his stone trough. Buckbeak smelled it and didn't seem to like the smell. He would rather eat something fresh. food.

"It doesn't seem to like dried fish very much." Ron said smartly.

"It's good to change the taste occasionally. Maybe it will like it after a while." Orlando kicked him.

"Dried fish can strengthen its bones, Hermione. Buckbeak is a good boy and not picky about food. He will like it." Hagrid came out and filled his bucket with water.

After hearing this, Hermione felt a little happier.

"When I saw that committee put Lucius Malfoy's Galleons in his pocket, I knew this case couldn't be won." Hagrid wiped his furry palms on his clothes and said very calmly. . "They are in a group, and the court session is just a formality. I finally understand that Orlando has to do what they did."

Harry didn't know what to say. In the past, Hagrid spoke of the Ministry of Magic with awe, but now he only spoke of it with hatred.

"Hagrid, you can't imitate Orlando's reckless behavior. He is a student who gets hot-headed and does something outrageous but can still get away with it. You can't do that. You will only get yourself involved. You must not be confused." Hermione He quickly advised.

"Yes, yes, the Ministry of Magic has hundreds of Aurors, and every one of them is a good player. They are not so easy to deal with." The Weasley family has been working in the Ministry of Magic for many years, and Ron still knows more or less. Insider.

"Hagrid, don't worry about it. The problem will eventually be solved. When the time comes, we can just watch their jokes."

"Yes, Hagrid, you finally got the job as a Care of Magical Creatures teacher, but you can't lose your job just because of impulse. Listen to Orlando, let's just watch the joke, okay?" Harry was afraid of Hagrid's anger. I didn't care, I quickly advised him.

Hagrid's clenched fists loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened again, and finally let out a long sigh, as if he had let go of something.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Everyone comforted him for a long time, finally calming down Hagrid's mood.

"It's been a long time since I've been to the lake. Why don't we go and relax." After coming out of Hagrid, Orlando saw that Hermione was not in a good mood and immediately suggested.

"Okay..." Ron was about to agree subconsciously, but was interrupted by Harry's kick.

"You go ahead. Ron and I still have homework to finish, so I won't accompany you."

Harry pulled Ron away, leaving space for the two of them.

Orlando and Hermione were walking hand in hand on the edge of the Black Lake. The breeze blowing across the lake brought a bit of coolness that was refreshing.

"Hermione, have you ever fished?"

"Fishing? My father took me there once when I was a kid, but it was so long ago that I don't remember." Hermione thought for a while and said.

"I'll teach you how to fish." In his previous life, Orlando and his grandfather were dependent on each other. Every summer, his grandfather would take him fishing in order to improve his food supply.

"Okay, but how can we catch anything?"

"Wait for me, I have a way." Orlando turned back and walked towards the Forbidden Forest. He knew where there was bamboo that could be used to make fishing rods. As for fishing lines and hooks, it would be easier. His transformation skills were not in vain.

Soon two simple versions of fishing gear were released. Although they look a bit ugly, they do not affect their use.

"Where's the bait?" Hermione asked doubtfully, holding the fishing rod.

"Isn't this ready-made?" Orlando said as a few flying insects landed on the ground. "It's just them."

After stringing worms on the fishhook, Hermione followed Orlando's example and threw the hook out, and then the two of them sat quietly on the shore waiting for the bait to take the bait.

"It's hooked, it's hooked." Hermione shouted excitedly, and she pulled hard, but unfortunately the fish broke off the hook with too much force.

"Don't worry, wait until the float sinks into the water before retracting the rod. If you retract it too early, the fish will easily escape." Orlando explained as he strung the bait again for her.

The two sat down again. There were not many people fishing in this black lake all year round. There were quite a lot of fish in the lake.No, in a short time Orlando caught more than a dozen fish, large and small, and Hermione was not bad either. After mastering the fishing skills, she also caught seven or eight fish one after another.

"There's no more bait." Hermione said with unfinished content as she twisted the empty fishhook.

"That's it for today. Let's prepare a small boat and go fishing in the middle of the lake another day, okay?" Orlando coaxed.

"Okay." Hermione put away the fishing rod with a smile and struggled to pull a net of fish from the water. "I'll give Buckbeak a snack tonight. He must like to eat these fresh fish."

Orlando picked out two small fishes and asked Hermione to take them. Then he packed up the rest and said, "Wait for me here. I'll deliver them to Hagrid." With that, Orlando strode towards Hagrid's hut. .

"Do you like Buckbeak?" Hermione asked as she looked at Orlando coming back.

"I like it, but the fish entrails are everywhere. Hagrid kept complaining that the fish smells too strong." Orlando shook his head and laughed.

"Crookshanks, come here and see what delicious food I have brought for you." In the common room, Crookshanks was lying on the window basking in the sun and snoring. He jumped down after hearing his master's call.

"Fresh fish, eat it quickly." Hermione scratched its chin and pointed to the fish on the ground.

While Hermione and Orlando were squatting aside happily watching the live broadcast of Crookshanks eating fish.There was an explosion in the Gryffindor lounge. Harry and Ron got into trouble with Slytherin for unknown reasons. Harry used unknown magic to injure Malfoy and two of his followers. Professor Flitwick caught the scene and is now locked up in Professor McGonagall's office.

After hearing this, Hermione no longer cares about petting the cat, picked up Orlando and ran away.At this time, the door of Professor McGonagall's office was already crowded with onlookers. Many students who came after hearing the news did not know what had happened, and they spread word of mouth among each other, making the corridor noisy.

"Borrow it, give it a go." Hermione and Orlando finally squeezed to the front, and heard Professor McGonagall's roar coming from inside.

"Who gave you the courage to use magic against your classmates? Is this what the school taught you magic to do?" Then there was another roar. It seemed that Professor McGonagall was very angry.

"We just left for a while, and they caused such a big mess?" Hermione said angrily as she looked at the sharp decrease in credits.

"Young people, it is inevitable that you will get angry easily." Orlando said casually, but received a glare from Hermione.

"That's not the reason for them to get into trouble. They were very hopeful of winning the Academy Cup this year, but now it's all over."

"Things have already happened. It won't help to think about it anymore. Let's hurry up. The spell class is about to start. You don't want to be deducted for being late." Orlando had to remind him.
