Chapter 039
In front of Hagrid’s cabin.
Elvis walked up and knocked on the door. Several low roars came from the house, and heavy footsteps came closer and closer.
With a creak, the door of the wooden house was opened, revealing Hagrid’s bearded face. He seemed to be in a bad mood.
A black hound stood at his feet, barking at Ivis and Hermione.
“”Wait a minute,” Hague pulled the black hound back by its collar,”Stay back, Fang.””
After Yaya was tied to the bedside by him, he came out to greet the two of them.
Hagrid smiled, as if he was happy to have a new friend as his guest,”Welcome. He patted his bulging belly, paused, and made a gesture of invitation in a sudden realization,”Come in quickly, Harry and Ron are also in there, don’t be shy.””
Elvis and Hermione followed Hagrid into the house.
Hagrid’s hut had only one large room, with hams and pheasants hanging on the ceiling, a copper kettle boiling water in the brazier, and a large bed in the corner. Bedding sewn with rags.
Harry and Ron were sitting on the small bench next to the bed. There were two cups of tea and a basin of cake on the table in front of them, but it seemed that neither of them had moved.
See Elvis and Hermione arrived, and they waved to say hello.
After a brief greeting, Hagrid took out two small benches for the new two people.
Elvis and Hermione sat down, but before they could take a closer look, Hagrid Observing everything in the room, Harry and Ron suddenly said:
“Hagrid, do you know what’s hidden down there? Hagrid looked a little impatient at the question,”No matter what is hidden under there, it has nothing to do with you two first-year wizards!””
“What’s hidden underneath?”Hermione asked curiously.
Ron quickly explained:”Do you still remember the restricted area on the fourth floor that we accidentally broke into on the day we arranged a duel with Malfoy?”
Hermione nodded.
“The monster inside – the three-headed dog Luwei has a trap door under his body. Harry and I guessed that it must be guarding something very important or dangerous.”
“”Uh-huh,” Harry nodded sharply,”or it’s both.”
“Some time ago, I suddenly remembered an issue of the”Daily Prophet” that I read after school started. It said that a dark wizard broke into Gringotts and wanted to steal something.”Harry looked at Hagrid with burning eyes,”The day Hagrid and I went to Diagon Alley, he followed Professor Dumbledore’s order to take something from Gringotts.”
“So I think what the dark wizard wanted to steal was something like what Hagrid took away!”
This conclusion shocked Hermione, and her thoughts began to diverge: In this case, the dark wizard may be lurking in Hogwarts Castle, and there is a high probability that the giant monster on Halloween was also released by him!
Of course. After she thought of this, her eyes gradually became sharp and then softened. What does this have to do with these first-year wizards?
“When we asked Hagrid just now, he actually told the name of the three-headed dog,” Ron added in a hurry.
Hagrid looked sullen,”Yes, I raised Lu Wei. Principal Bullydo borrowed it from me to keep it under guard——”
“What? Harry asked eagerly
“Okay, don’t ask anymore,” Hagrid interrupted the conversation rudely,”That’s Secret No. 1, und
erstand?”
“But someone wants to steal it!”
“That has nothing to do with you, the professors will ensure its safety. Your task is to study hard!”Hagrid persuaded.
After saying that, he stood up and ignored Harry and Ron. He took out a large basin of rock cake and a pot of heated milk from the stove next to him, and placed them on Elvis and In front of Hermione,
Hagrid hugged his shoulders and stopped looking at Harry and Ron.
The atmosphere in the small room suddenly solidified.
Ives ignored the three people arguing and poured a glass of hot milk. Then he took a piece of rock cake.
He had long wanted to try the dark cuisine made by Hagrid.
The surface of the rock cake was very rough and hard, with some raisins on it. It looked a bit rough and uneven in shape. A small cake.
Ives put it in his mouth and bit it lightly. Click.
The contact between the teeth and the rock cake made a crisp sound.
Sure enough, he couldn’t bite it. Ives put down the rock cake angrily and took it. Soak it in the hot milk.
Seeing this, Hermione on the side did not try it with her teeth, but soaked the rock cake in the hot milk.
When the rock cake in the milk softened, Ives Picked it up and took a bite.
A strong milky aroma flooded into the nose, and the soft rock cake became easy to eat and very chewy.
Soon, the two of them finished the rock cake in their hands.
Hai Greg’s frown finally eased. He was always a simple and honest character. At this moment, his anger also disappeared. After seeing Elvis and Hermione each eating a piece of rock cake, they became visibly happy.
“Hagrid, the rock biscuits you made are so delicious,” Ives praised,”especially after soaking them in milk.”
“This is the first time I have seen a little wizard like to eat the rock cake I made,” Hagrid said with a smile.
Harry and Ron half-heartedly imitated Elvis’s eating method.
After a while, they turned out to be interested in this kind of food. The two people who kept a distance from each other couldn’t help but praise its deliciousness.
After eating afternoon tea, they never mentioned the unpleasantness just now. After chatting for a while, the four young wizards said goodbye. On the way back to the castle, Harry took the initiative to chat again Find out what’s hidden in the restricted area
“I think we need to find out what’s hidden there and who’s behind it. Harry said seriously.
Before Ives could speak, Hermione took the initiative and said,”So what if I know these things?” Can you defeat the dark wizard, or can you guard it for Professor Dumbledore?”
“Then we can’t just do nothing,” Ron interjected
“We are just first-year wizards, so what if we know someone wants to steal that thing? Ives persuaded patiently:”Can we defeat the dark wizard who has the ability to break into Gringotts, or can we defeat the three-headed dog Lu Wei guarding the trap door?” Harry, Ron, stop thinking about these things and study hard. That’s not something we should worry about”
“But……”Harry hesitated
“Don’t worry about that mysterious thing anymore,” Ives said softly,”Studying hard is what you have to do now. You’d better inform the principal or Professor McGonagall about this.”
“Then forget about it”
“All right.”Harry nodded reluctantly.
