Tick tock, tick tock---
I don't know when the sun has been hanging high in the sky, and its constant light and heat make the white earth shine with bright light.
The sunlight reflected into the house made the dark cabin become brighter. The thick ice picks under the eaves melted and the water droplets gathered into a small clear puddle on the ground.
"...When I returned to the castle the next day, heard about this, and saw the Forbidden Forest with my own eyes, you three can imagine how shocked I was!"
The strong stove dried up the water in the kettle. Hagrid quickly stood up and pushed the door open with the hot handle. There was a rattling sound outside the house. After a while, he left again carrying the kettle filled with crushed ice. When he came in and found that the three people in the room still had the same stiff expressions and slightly open mouths, Hagrid couldn't help but laugh.
"It seems like you like this story very much?"
"like?"
Ron jumped up loudly, his ears were red, and he shouted excitedly to Harry, "Why has no one in the family ever told...Oh, okay, maybe Bill and Charlie told him, but I forgot "Hey, don't look at me like that, Hermione. I was only six years old at the time, and you wouldn't be able to remember it... Anyway,"
Ron looked at Harry again, gasping and shouting,
"Can you believe it, Harry, he was only in fifth year at that time, similar to Percy today. If someone told me that Percy could compete with Principal Dumbledore, I would probably laugh at him until graduation!"
Harry grinned, he understood what Ron meant,
"Has anyone ever done that, Hagrid?"
Harry's voice was a little too high-pitched, and he felt as if his blood was boiling, as if he had had a fight with Dumbledore, although he knew that he would never stand on the opposite side of the respectable principal. ,
"Don't even think about it, Harry!"
Hagrid burst out laughing.
"No little wizard in fifth grade can... Oh, maybe there is, but he didn't do that. Anyway, let alone the little wizards who are underage in school, even in the entire British wizarding world, you can't find many Someone who can stand up to the greatest headmaster Hogwarts has ever seen!"
Hagrid's voice was filled with pride, but you had to admit, he was telling the truth.
"You guys, please be quiet!"
Hermione, who was also excited, loudly stopped Harry and Ron who were a little over-excited. Of course, she had to admit that she was also excited. She never thought that the handsome and gentle young wizard she met in the school hospital last night had actually been Such a brilliant 'record'!
"What happened next, Hagrid, your story isn't finished yet!"
Hermione clutched Harry's invisibility cloak tightly and stared at Hagrid with orange cat eyes. "How did they deal with him...I mean, Mr. Amosta Braine?"
Harry and Ron immediately fell silent, eagerly waiting for Hagrid to answer their questions.
"Later...let me think about it,"
Hagrid played with his thick beard with his sausage-like fingers.
"They seemed to have imprisoned him for a whole semester, and then deducted 200 points from Slytherin House... However, Principal Dumbledore added 400 points to him not long after, which almost made Slytherin The Academy Cup was locked in early that year.”
"Four hundred points added!"
Harry exclaimed that last year they saved the Philosopher's Stone from Quirrell and Voldemort. This was almost his most impressive honor since entering the school, but Dumbledore only added one hundred and seventy points to them. , among which, only sixty points were counted on him!
"What did Principal Dumbledore think?"
Although there was nothing to compare with, Harry was still a little off balance.
"Needless to say, Harry!"
Hermione raised her eyebrows and put on a confident smile, as if she had seen through everything.
"They put him in solitary confinement for a semester and deducted points because Mr. Blaine violated school rules, broke into the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night, and attacked his classmates with very powerful magic... Oh, although there was a reason for the incident, they gave him extra points. He scored 400 points because he saved the entire Gryffindor team and Bill."
"save?"
The confusion on Ron's face was very clear, "Didn't they get knocked down by Brian?"
"Don't be silly, Ron,"
Ron's slowness was not unexpected. Hermione explained angrily, "Think about it, Ron, if Mr. Blaine had not gone to the Forbidden Forest that night, who would have encountered that mysterious man?" Dark wizard?"
hiss!
Ron suddenly took a breath of air and widened his eyes in realization.
"It was Charlie, and everyone on the Gryffindor team at the time!"
Hermione nodded and said in a satisfied tone, "I'm glad you finally understand, Ron. Plus Bill, he saved the lives of eight people, well... a fifty!"
"So, Hagrid, Dumbledore confirmed that a dark wizard really broke into Hogwarts. Did he catch that person?"
Harry was more alert than Ron and Hermione, it suddenly occurred to him.
"Yeah, he confirmed it."
Mentioning this, Hagrid suppressed his smile and looked solemn.
"That night, Bill woke up and quickly explained the misunderstanding. He told Dumbledore that it was not Amosta who released the killing curse, but the dark wizard lurking in the dark..., Dumbledore personally checked on Brian Every spell the wand cast that night confirmed this.
Later, Principal Dumbledore carefully inspected the battlefield. You know, Harry, with Principal Dumbledore's level, he could almost restore the whole story of that battle. But unfortunately, he traced it for a long time and couldn't. To find that daring dark wizard... For this reason, I didn't sleep in bed for almost two months, patrolling the Forbidden Forest every day and midnight. "
Hagrid blinked and said to the three people who realized the seriousness,
"This incident caused quite a stir at the time. The Ministry of Magic also sent elite Aurors into the Forbidden Forest to search, but nothing happened. In order to suppress the spread of panic, both Dumbledore and Fudge decided to suppress the spread of this attack as much as possible. This is also That’s why most people haven’t heard much about it since then.”
The atmosphere became solemn, and Harry and Ron looked at each other, both wondering whether the dark wizard might be Voldemort's minion again, just like Quirrell...
"So I said, Ron, you must have heard of him--"
Hagrid said with a smile,
"Professor Snape released Amosta Braine during the Quidditch final the following year. Before that, he had to go to Snape's office every night and every weekend for solitary confinement...
The Gryffindor team led by Charlie was very strong. They had a chance to win the championship again. However, when Snape brought Amosta Brain to the court, oh, haha, you can imagine Priyan How would he and Filoa behave? To be honest, the two of them didn't just get on the broom and escape, which is worthy of the Gryffindor name. "
"It seems that Slytherin occasionally produces a great guy ---"
Ron muttered quietly.
"There are many famous Slytherin wizards, Ron,"
Hagrid smiled and said. He looked at the sun outside the house and realized that it was getting late. It was already time to prepare lunch.
"The story is over. Three little guys, do you want to have something at my place for lunch?"
"oh!"
Hermione suddenly came to her senses and cried out in horror,
"Damn it, Madam Pomfrey, I lost track of time!"
She put the invisibility cloak on herself, leaving only her head exposed.
"Next time, Hagrid, I have to stay in the school hospital recently!"
With that said, she hurriedly ran out. Harry and Ron obviously also preferred the food in the school. They quickly got up to follow Hermione.
"Hey, that's right."
Hagrid, who was a little disappointed, suddenly remembered something, and he shouted at the back of Harry who was quickly walking away,
"You three haven't told me why on earth you want to ask about Blaine!"
"Mr. Blaine is back at school!"
Harry didn't look back, just waved his hand above his head, "He is now the investigating officer of the Chamber of Secrets attack!"
Bang, bang, bang!
Hagrid was frightened and leaned against the door of the hut. The house that was hit by the impact suddenly shook violently. The melted snow on the roof fell sharply, burying his teeth directly.
"Chamber of Secrets Investigator... from the Ministry of Magic?"
Hagrid's face turned pale and he leaned against the door frame and whispered softly,
"That's impossible... Dumbledore, oh, no, I have to figure this out!"
After a while, Hagrid closed the door with a bang, and sprinted towards the castle without looking back while Yaya barked.
