Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

"I obviously didn't do anything!"

After leaving the Potions classroom, Ron, still angry, complained in a low voice.

"I got you involved." Harry said with a hint of apology, "Professor Snape probably didn't like me a little, so he asked me the question."

Harry had noticed Snape's unkind gaze as early as the opening party, and the unexpected questions in class proved this. Harry felt a little sorry that his friend was implicated because of this.

"He's not being reasonable at all. Besides, why does that guy Malfoy get extra points for answering questions? Didn't you also answer it correctly?"

"According to me, Snape's old bat was deliberately targeting me. He just didn't like me. He didn't deduct points for Neville's explosion of the potion, but he did deduct mine!"

"Maybe Fred and George were causing mischief at his place, so I was implicated. Who makes me their younger brother?"

Ron, who had a lot of associations in his mind, found a good excuse for himself. After passing the reason for the deduction of points to the fact that he was implicated by the twins, his mood improved a lot.

"By the way, can I go with you to see Hagrid? Fred and George have been trying to let Hagrid go to the Forbidden Forest. I heard them say more than once that the Forbidden Forest is full of gold Galleons."

Ron looked at Harry with gleaming eyes. Harry's reply to Hagrid was written with the quill he borrowed.

"of course can."

Harry, hoping that Ron would be a little happy, nodded immediately. Ron spoke too quickly just now and he didn't have time to interrupt, but now it seemed that there was no need to tell Ron the truth at that time.

The two hurried back to the common room and left the castle at five minutes to three and walked across the grass towards Hagrid's residence.

Although Harry was looking for Hagrid for the first time, the flat terrain would not give them the chance to get lost.

However, when they approached Hagrid's stone house, a pungent smell of blood made the two of them flinch and did not dare to step forward.

There was a big thing that looked like a portable siege crossbow at the door. The crossbow quiver on the side was still stained with minced meat and dark red coagulated blood. The speckled blood stains extended from the forest to the door of the hut. Here for them The first feeling was more like a murder scene.

They looked at each other, and finally Harry had the guts to knock on Hagrid's wooden door.

"Dong Dong Dong~"

"Wang Wang Wang!"

A low barking sound occurred to Harry when they knocked on the door. Listening to the low whine in his throat, Harry's mind pictured a vicious beast lying at the door, gritting its teeth, ready to pounce out and bite his throat at any moment. Dog image.

"Ya Ya! Stop barking and open the door quickly, otherwise you will be the last to eat later."

"Wow!"

The dog barked again, and immediately, there was a sound of claws pulling at the latch behind the wooden door. Harry and Ron stepped back several times, feeling a little scared.

"It doesn't look like Hagrid is in there?"

The two of them looked at each other and couldn't think of anyone else who might be in Hagrid's house.

At this moment, Yaya used his claws to pull the latch aside with great effort, and held the edge of the wooden door to open the door inwards.

A strong smell of blood hit his face when he opened the door, and a bloody scene was staged on a huge dining table.

"Hahaha! Harry! You're here!"

Hagrid, who was holding a cleaver in his hand, waved his hand, which was covered in blood and minced meat, to Harry who was outside the door.

"Come in quickly, it's a little messy. We are dealing with prey. I just picked up the giant ground sloth in the afternoon. This poor guy was bitten to death by a chimera. When I went there, I only rescued half of its body, but It’s fresh and definitely tastes great.”

"Making barbecue this afternoon! By the way, who is that next to you?"

With his mouth slightly open, Harry swallowed his surprise. After Hagrid explained, he truly felt relieved.

"It turns out it's a barbecue..." Harry breathed a sigh of relief, and then responded loudly: "This is my friend, Ron, and he also wants to come to see you."

"Is there anything I can do to help?"

Harry pulled Ron into Hagrid's spacious cabin, and then asked proactively.

"It's okay, it's okay. We're almost done. You can just wait and eat later."

"Wait, why is he here?"

But after Ron walked into the room and came to his senses, he pointed at Draco who was holding a knife to cut the piece of meat that Hagrid had taken off into small pieces and threaded them on a wooden stick as thick as his little finger. He opened his mouth in surprise.

"Why is someone from Slytherin here? And it's him!"

"There's no Slytherin or Gryffindor here."

Hagrid waved his hand and didn't care too much about this. Although he had been prejudiced against Slytherin before, whether it was Rollo who had the same interests as him or Draco who liked to listen to his stories, they were both guys he liked. Slytherin Lin is a bad wizard, so you can't just generalize, right?

"I almost forgot, Weasley and Malfoy... are two old enemies." Hagrid laughed, "You are much cuter than your dad Lucius, Draco, he is so cute Don’t say anything to me, even though we haven’t met very often.”

"I heard there was some misunderstanding between you, Harry?"

"A little bit." Harry nodded, not denying that he had conflicts with Draco before.

"It's normal for you kids to be noisy. Don't take it too seriously. There's nothing that can't be solved, right?"

Hagrid blinked at Harry, then put down the meat cleaver, picked up a long branch thicker than his thumb, and pierced the large piece of meat.

"That's right." Harry hesitated for a moment, then nodded and looked at Draco who was busy: "Thank you for today's Potions class."

"Why do you need to thank this guy?"

Ron looked at Harry with a puzzled expression, as if he couldn't understand why.

"The first question is the water of life and death..."

Harry said with some embarrassment: "Actually, I don't know how to do it either, but Draco wrote the answers on the parchment and I saw it. If he hadn't told me the answers, I wouldn't have been able to answer any of them."

"It's a small thing. After all, I didn't do it right before."

Draco turned to Harry and nodded slightly, smiling apologetically.

Ron, who had never expected Draco to say such a thing or do such a thing, was stunned on the spot. He simply did not believe that the Malfoy family would apologize, which was beyond his understanding of the Malfoy family.

So Ron quickly grabbed Harry and sneaked him to the door.

"You think this guy might be like this? Have you forgotten what happened on the train?"

"This is wrong. The Malfoys are all very evil. He must be trying to get some idea from you or Hagrid! They can't possibly know each other, right! It doesn't make sense."

Ron, who showed a wise expression, worked hard to analyze the anomalies.

"It's a trap Harry!"

"You saw what kind of guys Malfoy and his two orangutan followers are on the train, right?"

Harry was also surprised by Draco's current change. After all, when they were in Diagon Alley, Draco pointed at Hagrid and said some things he didn't like to hear. His arrogance on the train made him even more surprised. His impression of Draco completely changed.

It seemed that Harry had been moved by his words, and Ron, whose mind became extremely bright at this moment, quickly said, "Have you seen the guy next to Malfoy?"

"Uh...um...who?"

Harry hesitated for a moment, he really didn't seem to be paying attention just now.

"That's the person everyone is talking about, the one who should go to Azkaban, the successor of the mysterious man."

Speaking of this, Ron trembled slightly. Even though Ron had just been born when the mysterious man was wreaking havoc, the trauma and notoriety left by the mysterious man in the wizarding world of England was nothing short of a child crying at night.

"But Professor Dumbledore has already explained it, right? It was just an accident. Because of an accident caused by the magic that protected him, the Sorting Hat was affected by the protective magic."

"But who would use such evil magic to protect someone?"

Conspiracy theories about Rollo are very popular at Hogwarts. Although everyone doesn't say it openly, discussing it in private is a good way to pass the time. There are no less than ten speculations about this kind of thing. There were several versions, but they were all laughed off because the ending was too exaggerated.

"They must be planning something. Don't fall for them casually. Think about it, one is the heir of the mysterious man, and Malfoy is the guy who followed the mysterious man to do bad things. The entire magical world knows it. Malfoy used money to establish a relationship and was not imprisoned in Azkaban, but his family is definitely a Death Eater."

"The two of them are completely in cahoots together. They may be planning something very bad."

"But Hagrid said..." Harry, who was still a little hesitant, was willing to believe what Hagrid said, but what Ron said seemed to make some sense.

"Hagrid might have been deceived by them too. Think about it, who would get to know the gamekeeper in less than a week after school starts? And the relationship seems to be pretty good, but they don't have Hagrid to send them an admission notice." Book, right?"

"Perhaps we should tell Professor McGonagall about this and let her take points from Slytherin."

"But we have absolutely no evidence, and it's impossible for the professor to believe it, Ron."

Hearing this, Harry shook his head in embarrassment. Ron must have been angry at Snape for deducting points, Harry thought silently in his heart.

At this moment, voices came from the house again.

"Hagrid, has the forest been peaceful these days? I can't wait to go in and have a look."

"I haven't been able to do it for the past two days. Professor Kettleburn asked me to count the species categories in the forest. I have basically not done this in the past few decades. He said I would take this opportunity to do some classification. Maybe I can introduce it in class. Some less dangerous cuties.”

"After all, the water monster's transformation ability is limited and it cannot imitate all creatures. The one in the forest is the best."

"That means I have to wait a few more days. When can I go in and take a look?"

"In just the past two or three days, I have basically dealt with the disobedient guys. Now there are more and more little guys in the forest, and the territory is not divided enough. The horse people have been complaining to me. , saying that their foal doesn’t even have a place to walk.”

"Just wait until next week. It happens that you have to go to the professor's class next week. Learn some knowledge and then come here to practice it. If you want to truly understand them, you must get close to them."

After hearing these words of conversation, Ron gave Harry a look with a nonchalant expression, "You heard it, right? The heir wants to sneak into the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid must have been deceived by him."

"But why did he go to the Forbidden Forest?" Harry looked at Ron in confusion. If it was a risk, it would be more appropriate to bypass Hagrid and sneak in.

"Didn't I tell me before that Fred and George told me that the Forbidden Forest is full of escaped Golden Galleons. He must be thinking about this, so he has to ask Hagrid to take him in."

Harry was doubtful and didn't know what to say. At this moment, Hagrid's greeting sounded.

"Harry, and Ron, are preparing to have a barbecue. Where have you been?"

(There should be another chapter later, please wait)
