Chapter 168 Christmas Chapter Arrives
When the trip to Hogsmeade was almost over, Wright, who was shopping in the magic equipment store, came to the Three Broomsticks.
As soon as he entered the room, he saw Hermione and Ron, who looked pale and were sitting next to him, looking extremely worried.
Seeing this, Wright raised his eyebrows and immediately understood that Harry and the others already knew about the Black incident.
Hermione and Ron saw that Wright had arrived and quickly called him over to help get things.
Harry looked completely dazed and had to rely on Ron to lead the way to walk.
Hermione and Ron didn't speak a word along the way, for fear of irritating Harry.
Seeing Harry looking so lost along the way, Wright felt a little guilty and considered whether to tell the truth.
In this tangled state, the four followed the crowd back to Hogwarts.
Not long after Harry returned to school, he woke up in sweat, as if he had a nightmare.
When I was about to say something, I saw the worried expressions of Hermione and Ron, and the obvious guilty look on Wright's face.
So, he forced a smile and said, "It doesn't matter. I already knew that the wanted criminal was a bad guy..."
"Let's go eat! Don't get left behind..."
Seeing that Harry no longer acted as if his soul had been sucked out, Hermione and Ron felt a little relieved.
And Wright looked at Harry's reluctant expression, feeling a little tangled, and couldn't help but think to himself:
"I feel a bit like I betrayed my friends. I feel a bit guilty!"
"If I help myself, will the situation be different..."
Although Wright was in a dilemma, he did not stop. He soon came to the hall with Harry and the other two and started to eat.
While eating, Harry stared at Hagrid who was eating heartily in the professor's seat, as if he had some ideas.
"Uh! Maybe we should talk to Hagrid. We haven't talked to him much in a while, right!"
Seeing Harry staring at Hagrid like a pervert, Ron couldn't help but suggest.
"Okay! We'll go find him after dinner." Harry, who had already had this idea, agreed to Ron's proposal directly, and Hermione and Wright did not object.
After quickly filling their stomachs, the four of them gathered at the castle gate and blocked Hagrid who was about to go back.
Given their relationship with Hagrid, they started asking questions without any greetings:
"Hagrid, why didn't you tell me that Black was the murderer of my parents!"
Seeing Harry's gloomy expression, Hagrid widened his small eyes and exclaimed:
"What? How did you know? Were you the ones sneaking around in the bar?" After saying this, he still found it very unbelievable.
"You found us? We were hiding so well." Harry, Hermione and Ron were shocked when they heard this.
"Hehehe!" Hearing this, Hagrid touched his head embarrassedly and smiled foolishly.
And Wright was speechless for a moment as he listened to their wonderful conversation.
"Then why? Why don't you tell me? You obviously know everything."
After the surprise, Harry gritted his teeth and looked at Hagrid with red eyes.
Hagrid looked at Harry with red eyes, his face serious, and said to him very seriously:
"I'm sorry, Harry! We just don't want you to be surrounded by hatred. We all want you to have a happy student life."
"Besides, we are trying our best to hunt him down now. I won't let him have an easy time. Believe me, Harry!"
After Hagrid's repeated assurances, Harry let go of the half-giant who was stopped a little dejectedly.
After Hagrid left the castle, Wright looked at Harry, who seemed very lonely, and couldn't help but sigh, feeling even more guilty inexplicably.
Early the next morning, the young wizards boarded the train to go home. Almost all the people in Hogwarts had left, making the place seem empty.
Harry seemed to have not slept all night, and his eyes were like a giant panda.
He came early to find Wright and said very seriously:
"Light, please teach me magic! I need the power to protect the people I care about."
Seeing that Harry wanted to improve, Wright nodded and agreed, saying that he would start special training for him after Christmas.
Harry stared with his panda eyes and nodded very seriously.
The day passed quickly, and the empty Hogwarts welcomed the joyous Christmas.
Wright, who had opened his Christmas presents early, had already left the dormitory, while Harry and Ron were still opening this year's presents.
"Mom gave me another hooded coat, still brown. Harry, do you have one too?"
Ron put down the clothes in his hand dissatisfiedly and looked at the gift in Harry's hand.
Harry raised his hands and unfolded a big red hooded jacket with a big lion on the chest, representing Gryffindor.
Under Ron's slightly disgusted look, he happily put away his clothes.
Then he picked up a large, thin package, which felt like it was packed in a long gift box, making it look very grand.
"What is this? It looks weird!" Ron came up to ask in confusion after opening the gift.
"You'll know soon. I'll open it now!" Harry started to open the package.
"This is impossible!"
After opening the gift box, Harry looked at the shiny broom and said in disbelief.
"Could this be..."
Looking at the gorgeous broom, Ron's breathing became very rapid and he couldn't believe it for a moment.
"Firebolt!"
Harry said with great certainty as he looked from the number on the top to the completely smooth end of the broom.
"Who gave it to you?" Ron swallowed, wanted to reach out to touch it, and asked in a trembling voice with a little fear.
"I don't know, but it's definitely not the Dursleys!"
Harry was also surprised, but he couldn't take his eyes off the precious Firebolt.
"Then I know, it must be Dumbledore! He sent you an invisibility cloak before."
After getting Harry's consent, Ron touched the Firebolt, feeling extremely sure of his idea.
Harry refuted Ron's idea without thinking.
"The Invisibility Cloak belonged to my father, and Dumbledore simply gave it to me.
Besides, as a principal, I would not spend so much money just for one student."
"That's why he didn't say it. Otherwise, it wouldn't just be Malfoy saying he was biased. It couldn't be a wanted criminal who sent it to you!"
Ron still did not give up his guess. Then, as if realizing that he had said something wrong, he quickly changed the subject and said:
"If Malfoy saw you riding this broom, he would be terribly upset. This is a world-class broom!"
"I don't care about him. What I care more about is who sent it?"
Harry muttered, his mind racing but he couldn't figure out who would send such a generous gift.
