Chapter 107 Christmas is coming

Aragog is my friend. It's not good for me to be like this right after he died, Hagrid said sadly.

Hagrid, the dead are dead, but the living have to live on. I think Aragog would be happy in heaven if he knew he could help you. Besides, I think Dumbledore put the You still took a lot of risks by staying. At least once you clear your grievances, you can avoid someone who thinks Dumbledore is covering up criminals, Ryan patted Hagrid on the back and advised him.

You're right, I shouldn't just take care of myself. Dumbledore is a good man who has helped me a lot, and I can't cause him any more trouble. Hagrid said solemnly after thinking about it.

After drinking tea for a while, Ryan and Hagrid said goodbye, and when they went out, everyone's pockets were filled with Hagrid's homemade milk candy.

The big spider that can eat people, I really don't know why Hagrid wants to keep those things. Fortunately, he is dead now. Ron commented on the way.

It's not a good idea, after all, Hagrid is our friend, Harry said, frowning.

It has nothing to do with whether Hagrid is a friend or not, Ryan said. As far as I know, Ron's twin brother went to the Forbidden Forest to take risks when he was in the second grade. I think there are not many students who love adventure, but there are still some. Think about it, giant spiders like to eat people. , what would happen if they encountered these eight-eyed giant spiders? So I think it is also a good thing that the eight-eyed giant spiders disappear from the Forbidden Forest.

That's right, Harry said after a moment of silence. Who do you think can kill so many spiders in one go?

This question sparked a discussion among the three, and finally, under Ryan's efforts, Harry and Ron agreed that a passing fire dragon killed the spider. The reason is that Hagrid said he found a lot of burn marks. And if it is a dark wizard, they will not give up expensive venom to kill the giant spider by burning it.

The next few days were uneventful, but a week before Christmas, an investigative team of members of the Ministry of Magic's Department of Magical Law Enforcement arrived at Hogwarts.

They went to Hagrid's cabin and Myrtle's bathroom to inquire, and finally went to the headmaster's office.

The classmates were privately discussing and guessing what these people were doing, but they didn't guess until those people left.

A notice posted at the school two days later cleared everyone's doubts. The notice states that Hagrid had been banned from using magic because of a major suspicion in a murder case. He was now found innocent of the murder, following a miscalculation by the Ministry of Magic at the time.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Magic is very high, which is completely different from the original situation when Harry encountered Dementors in fourth grade. Ryan thought that this might be because Dumbledore knew through his diary and memories that it was Voldemort who had denounced Hagrid. Plus now Hagrid has found solid evidence (the remains of a giant spider) and witnesses (myrtle).

Unlike the fifth grade in the original book, Dumbledore's prestige is very high now, and the Ministry of Magic must respect Dumbledore. And the people who caused the wrong judgment have nothing to do with the current magic, and even most of them have died. This kind of reversal will not affect the authority of the Ministry of Magic, and even proper publicity can create an image that the Ministry of Magic is upright and corrects mistakes. So the Ministry of Magic has a green light on this matter.

After seeing the notice, Ryan and Hermione took a moment to congratulate Hagrid (Ryan and Hagrid have a good relationship, after all, a good person with a simple personality everyone is willing to get close to.)

Looking at Hagrid's happy smile and his mental outlook as if he was ten years younger, Ryan suddenly felt that it was a good thing for him to kill Aragog. After all, the Eight-Eyed Spider brought a lot of trouble to the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid when it was alive, but all the problems were solved when it died.

A few days later, in the second week of December, Professor McGonagall came over as usual to collect the list of classmates who were staying for Christmas. Lane signed the list; because his parents said they were going skiing in the Austrian Alps for their fifteenth wedding anniversary,

Ryan felt he should stop being a light bulb.

It seems that the search for the treasure Nick said can only be done during the summer vacation, and Ryan has some regrets. However, Dave just informed him that everything he needs will be ready before Christmas, and Ryan feels that he can kill the basilisk in the secret room while the school is less crowded.

In the next few days, Ryan went to Hagrid to help him master some simple magic spells when he was free, and showed his cooking skills when he missed the meal (at least better than Hagrid. Assassin inheritance is all-encompassing, among which there is cooking in wild survival. And traditional Chinese medicine inheritance There are also medicated cooking).

With his cooking skills, Ryan used the excuse of cooking something that tasted from his hometown. I had to go smoothly from Hagrid. Four or five roosters were raised in the Wanjie grocery store.

Finally, the semester was over, and a silence as thick as snow on the ground enveloped the entire castle. Ryan found that Gryffindor left a lot of classmates. In addition to Harry, who was bound to stay every year, there were also the Weasley brothers, because this year, the Weasleys were going to Egypt to see Bill, and the sensible ones decided not to follow to avoid financial stress on the family.

The dawn of Christmas came, and the weather was cold and white. Ryan woke up early that morning, the dorm was empty, and all the roommates went home for Christmas.

After getting out of bed, Ryan found that the gift had been placed on the floor by the bed. My parents gave me a Swarovski crystal ball and a postcard from Salzburg. Harry sent a copy of The Common Magic, and the Weasley twins sent a large box of candy, but Ryan plans to figure out what it is before eating, he suspects it is the Weasley brothers' experiment. Ron gave away another copy of 101 Spells at Home. Did he look like a nerd in Harry and Ron's eyes? Lane thought.

Hagrid's gift was very distinctive. It was a large piece of fudge. After Lane learned that Harry and Ron also received the same gift, he knew that Hagrid must have made a big pot in one go and distributed it to his friends. .

The most precious gift came from Hermione, the transfiguration notes she copied from Professor McGonagall from her student days. Sure enough, top students get preferential treatment from professors. Fortunately, Ryan sent the hand-written notes of Professor Sprout's herbal medicine this time, and finally he was not rude.

At the Hogwarts Christmas dinner, everyone ate with relish. Because there are very few people staying on campus, the empty auditorium is even more grandiose. Not only were there a dozen Christmas trees covered in silver frost, and thick ribbons of mistletoe and holly crisscrossed on the ceiling, but there was also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling gently from the ceiling. .

The professors were happy too, and Dumbledore led them to a few of his favourite Christmas carols, and Hagrid grew louder as he drank glass after glass of eggnog. Percy hadn't noticed that Fred had cast a spell on his prefect badge to read Stupid and kept asking stupidly what everyone was laughing at. Drake taunted Harry on a daily basis, and then was beaten back. Everyone is happy.

Ryan tried to eat as much as possible, because there was a big consumption exercise waiting for him at night.
