Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying - Chapter 340

c340 Hagrid: I can’t remember

Hagrid was also stunned for a moment and said calmly: “He is injured…”

He told the story of the cause and effect, during which time Ms. Rosmerta brought him the mead he ordered.

After Lu Ping listened, he sighed deeply, feeling proud and worried at the same time:

“Harry is much better than we were back then. He would even risk his life to save his enemies… He’s really like James and Lily…”

“Yes.” Hagrid nodded vigorously and took a sip of wine: “Thanks to Vader and Harry this time, otherwise I might not even be able to keep my job as a gamekeeper.”

Lupine shook his head and said: “Malfoy’s power is not that great. If he wants to drive you away, he must drive away Dumbledore first.”

“Yes, Professor Dumbledore has always trusted me… If I messed up on the first day, I don’t know how to face him… Fortunately, my class was successful today, and the children helped me a lot of.”

Hagrid said with emotion.

When he was first hired as a professor, he didn’t know how happy he was. But after he actually started working, Hagrid realized that there was a huge difference between being a professor and being a gamekeeper.

In the past, he only had to patrol once or twice a day to ensure that students in the school did not sneak into the Forbidden Forest and get hurt.

In your free time, you can grow vegetables, raise pets or raise some livestock. There are not many responsibilities and no worries in your heart.

He was very happy when he was the judge of the maze, and the students began to trust him more and more. However, some children did not think highly of him and thought he was just a handyman hired by the school, which made Hagrid feel a little uncomfortable.

He thought that becoming a professor would gain the respect and love of his students, but in fact, the responsibilities he had to bear as a professor, the scrutiny of students, and the evaluation of the outside world all became pressure on Hagrid.

How to prepare for the course? How to assign homework? How to make those unruly students learn to obey the order in the classroom?

Hagrid had so much to learn. He wanted to tell Dumbledore to give up several times, but was too embarrassed to speak, so he could only grit his teeth and keep working hard.

Fortunately, today’s class was a success and the children responded well. Hagrid regained some confidence and began to feel that his efforts were useful…

Hagrid, under the influence of alcohol, poured out all the troubles in his heart. Lupine listened carefully and gave him some suggestions from time to time.

“The Flobber caterpillar is too outrageous. No student will like it. The fire crab is not bad, but you have to pay attention to safety.”

“The homework doesn’t have to be too complicated. Just assign one paper every week… You can make it simple at the beginning, just a few inches…”

“If you don’t know what to do, why not ask Professor Kettleburn for advice? He lives in Hogsmeade, not far away.”

“Professor Kettleburn has been teaching this course for decades. He must have encountered various situations and has extremely rich experience… and he also knows very well what will be tested in the ordinary wizard level examination and the ultimate wizard level examination… ”

“That’s right!” Hagrid agreed: “I will… no, I have classes tomorrow morning… I will go see Professor Kettleburn at noon tomorrow. He really likes Norbert, as long as I give him some Norbert’s scales…oh!”

Hagrid suddenly remembered that he had given all the dragon scales to Vader.

But it doesn’t matter. He can go to Norberta first – just in time to bring little Malfoy with him to complete the deal between them – pick up a few dragon scales, and then go to Professor Kettleburn.

Hagrid mentally sorted out the things he had to do, feeling that things that were originally difficult suddenly became clear and simple, thanks to Remus’s advice…

Then he slowly remembered that Lupine invited him because he had something to ask.

“By the way, Remus, what do you want to ask?” Hagrid asked.

“That’s it-”

Lu Ping put down the Sydney soda he had not drunk much, considered it for a moment, and asked: “——I want to know, who is in school this summer vacation?”

Hagrid put down his glass and thought for a while before saying:

“That’s a lot, more than usual.”

“Dumbledore, me, Filch, we’re always here.”

“There were also reporters from the Daily Prophet who came to interview and take pictures of the Chamber of Secrets and the snake slough. Professor McGonagall accompanied them… It seems that because the basilisk body was in Snape’s hands, there were still people who came to interview. Snape, he was also at school those days…”

“Ilvermorny in the United States, Beauxbatons in France, and Durmstrang all sent professors to the school, as if they wanted to discuss something important. Most of the professors were at the school in those days.”

“Ilvermorny is also here?” Lupine asked.

If it were the other two schools, he would be thinking of the Triwizard Tournament that had been suspended for centuries. But with Ilvermorny in the mix, Lupine wasn’t sure.

“Yes, Ilvermorny.” Hagrid said unhappily: “These people were wandering around the maze, and some wanted to take our Bowtruckle away, but I stopped them…a group of thieves! ”

“Then…who came to Hogwarts from July 16th to July 19th?” Lupine asked.

Hagrid was stunned. He opened his mouth and thought hard. After a while, he asked: “When did you just say?”

Lu Ping: “…”

He asked again patiently:

“July 16 to July 19, that’s when the Flow Mirror started to be sold in Diagon Alley, do you remember? The video of Harry and his friends defeating the ball python in the maze was also broadcast, and there must be people discussing it in Hogsmeade a few days before that – you should have an impression.”

“Ah – no wonder there were so many owls flying every day for a while! I was saying – students are not in school during the holidays, who are those owls sending things to!”

Hagrid said with sudden realization.

Then he closed his mouth, frowned into a knot, and thought again and again.

Time passed by minute by minute, and after a long time, Hagrid shook his head apologetically: “I’m sorry, Remus, I really can’t remember.”

“I just remember that there was a period of time when Aragog had a poor appetite. I was thinking about it all day and didn’t pay much attention to anything else.”

Aragog is a giant eight-eyed spider that Hagrid raised since he was a child. When Lupin and the other four were still in school, they wandered in the forbidden forest at night and met the spider.

Lupin had guessed from Hagrid’s reaction. He sighed and said, “Forget it.”

He thought that few people would have the opportunity to touch snake skins during the holidays, and the scope of suspects would be easy to lock down. But when Hagrid said that Hogwarts was not idle during the summer vacation, Lupin did not hold much hope.

Even if Hagrid remembered who had been there, so what?

Hagrid also had to eat, rest and patrol. Maybe when the person who commissioned Will entered and left the school, Hagrid did not see him at all.

The investigation was at a stalemate…but no news, maybe it was good news.

Lupin tried to think positively, but he could not be so optimistic in his heart.
