"Please give me a reasonable explanation." Professor Lu Ping said solemnly.
Harry knew very clearly that he should answer Professor Lupin's question, but when he looked at Hagrid lying on the bed, his big furry face stained with dried tears, and exuding the pungent smell of alcohol, he just Angry and speechless.
Why is Hagrid hungover?
There was no need for Hagrid to explain himself. Harry could understand that Hagrid had been working conscientiously for Hogwarts and Dumbledore. He didn't ask for anything else but to be recognized by others. Now , with the help of Professor Blaine, Hagrid finally cleared away the suspicion of murderer, and with the help of Professor Dumbledore, Hagrid became the professor of Care of Magical Creatures. Before he could realize his ambition, Hagrid was troubled by Malfoy. Fallen into the sand...
Fang lay on Hagrid's arm and whimpered worriedly. Harry clenched his fists tightly and looked livid, wishing he could rush into the castle right now and beat Malfoy up.
Ron obviously noticed something strange about Harry, but under the solemn gaze of a professor, he did not dare to act rashly. He could only lower his head and wink secretly, hoping that Harry would act calmer.
"It's me, Professor--"
Hermione said with a tearful voice, "I saw Hagrid looking weird and thought something had happened to him, so..."
Lupine looked at Harry with a hint of disappointment in his eyes, but before he could say anything, Harry suddenly roared angrily,
"It's all Malfoy, Professor Lupin. He was injured because he didn't listen. He asked for it, but he caused Hagrid to lose his job. Becoming a professor of this course is Hagrid's dream! "
Lupine looked at Harry who was furious. Unexpectedly, he was offended and did not show any further anger. Instead, his expression was much gentler. Suddenly, in Lupine's eyes, he was angrily defending Hagrid against Harry. His facial features vaguely overlapped with those of another person in his memory. Reading Pavilion
"Mr. Malfoy's injury may have been caused by his lack of caution,"
Professor Lu Ping said with a gentle expression,
"So, what about you, Harry... This is close to the Forbidden Forest. If you are attacked because you are far away from people's sight, and Ron and Hermione are implicated as a result, who should you blame?"
Harry froze, not knowing how to answer this question.
"Professor Lu, Lupin,... I mean, Principal Dumbledore is in the school, and no... no one will..."
Ron, whose earlobes were red and hot, stammered and explained that it was not easy for him to defend himself under the harsh gaze of a professor.
"Do you really think that's the case, Ron?"
After forcing Ron to stop with his gaze, Professor Lupine's tone became solemn again,
"Those dark wizards lurking in the shadows will appear in all kinds of unexpected ways that you can't imagine. If the walls of Hogwarts and the dementors can't stop them, then why do you think the sunlight can?" Will they tie their hands and feet?"
A pin drop could be heard in the crowded room. Harry, Ron, and Hermione made no attempt to defend themselves.
Thinking of the fifth-grade wizards who were waiting for him, Professor Luping stopped talking. He glanced at Hagrid, who had a snot-filled nose, with a hint of worry. After thinking about it, he said to the three wizards,
"You can take care of Hagrid here for now, but I hope you can return to Professor Sprout's class as soon as possible and admit your mistakes to her. I will know if you have done so."
After saying this, Professor Luping walked towards the door, but as he took the step forward, he paused again, looked at the three little guys with shameful faces and said,
"Hagrid is a qualified and excellent adult wizard. You should trust him and believe that he has the ability to handle his own problems."
After Professor Lupin left, there was still an embarrassing silence in Hagrid's hut until Ron curled his lips and said in a relaxed tone,
"I think the three of us should be the first little wizards to receive confinement this school year, right? Sorry, I should have said soon!"
Hermione looked at Ron, who acted as if nothing had happened, and pursed her lips.
"I thought we convinced Hagrid last time,"
She looked at the drunken Hagrid and said sadly, "He must be very worried about Buckbeak and afraid that he will be expelled from the school board."
"Hagrid will not be expelled, Hermione. Both you and Hagrid are a bit unfounded. Dumbledore will not do that." Ron retorted.
"Professor Dumbledore must also abide by the opinions of the school board and the Ministry of Magic. If Malfoy..., that Lucius Malfoy, we met him here last semester. Later I asked someone to inquire, He has close relationships with many Ministry of Magic officials."
Hermione said worriedly, "If Malfoy decides to make a fuss about this."
"There are a lot of people in the Ministry of Magic that Lucius Malfoy can't control, Hermione!"
Ron and Hermione were discussing each other word by word. Harry knew that they were taking the opportunity to dilute the guilt in his heart. This made him moved and at the same time even more ashamed.
During the summer vacation, Professor Brain gave him relevant warnings, but at critical moments, he always failed to remember those well-intentioned warnings.
Now that Professor Blaine was mentioned, Harry suddenly missed him a little bit again.
If Professor Blaine was still in school, he could easily order Draco Malfoy to stop stirring up trouble.
"Speaking of which..."
Harry rubbed Fang's ears, took out his usual stained bandana from Hagrid's pocket and wiped Hagrid's nose.
"Maybe I can really ask Professor Blaine for help, if he is willing to give Malfoy instructions..."
Ron and Hermione looked at each other, but neither of them spoke.
None of them forgot Professor Lupine's instructions before leaving, but before leaving, the three of them decided to help Hagrid take off his coat in order to let him rest better.
For a wizard of normal size, this is a very easy thing, but it is a huge project to help Hagrid, who is close to an elephant in size and tonnage, take off his robes. The three of them climbed on Hagrid's bed. Climbing up and down, it took a while to finally get Hagrid's coat off.
"Speaking of -"
After finishing, Ron put his hands on his hips and gasped, "Why don't we use magic to lift Hagrid up?"
"Because our magic can't move Hagrid's size."
Hermione wiped the hair stuck to her forehead, and then glanced at the angle of the sunlight outside the room. Her orange and bright eyes suddenly flashed a little anxiously. She looked at Harry and Harry who were busy taking off Hagrid's socks. Well, he said calmly
"Well, I'm going to get Hagrid some water to wipe his face--"
With that said, Hermione ran out without waiting for his response. When she left, she quietly took her schoolbag with her...
