Archaeologists at Hogwarts

Chapter 285 Courses
As Christmas approaches, there are many more decorations in the castle.Hagrid had started moving his large fir trees again, placing them in the foyer, the Great Hall, and sometimes in the common room.

"You don't need your help." He wheezed and placed a very large fir tree at the door of the auditorium, and Harry felt the ground under his feet tremble.

"This year's layout seems to be a little different." Hermione said with interest: "It's more gorgeous than before."

"Of course." Hagrid wiped the hot sweat from his forehead, and he said cheerfully: "Celebration, everyone is looking forward to the celebration, I can't wait, this is the first time I I attended the Christmas dinner as a professor, but so many people came all at once, to be honest, I was almost too nervous."

"Don't worry." Harry comforted, "You are a very good professor, and everyone will like you by then."

Harry was telling the truth, and Hagrid hadn't had a hippogriff incident since the beginning of the sniff, and no student had been hurt in class.

It was a blessing - Ron used to say with emotion.

Hagrid was so moved that his beetle-like eyes suddenly became bright.

"When you have time, you should also take a look at Hogsmeade Village." He said: "The arrangement there is more interesting than the school - it is said that the circus is also here, and they plan to arrange performances on weekends in advance to earn more money." Some travel expenses or something."

"What's the show?" Ron asked with bright eyes.

"You'll know when you get there." Hagrid said with a smile: "There will be no surprises if you reveal it in advance—well, I have to go back first, lest Fang Fang take Luna to a place she shouldn't go again." .”

That's right, as a formal professor at Hogwarts, Hagrid also chose a student who would teach him a class.

His first choice was originally Harry's. Even putting aside his previous experience, Harry was also the first student to successfully communicate with Buckbeak, which can be regarded as very talented.It's a pity that Hagrid didn't expect Harry to be chosen by Principal Dumbledore, so there was nothing he could do.

Hermione was actually pretty good too, but Hagrid was still a step behind and was taken away by Dean McGonagall.

As for the rest of Ron - it wasn't because Hagrid didn't like Ron, but because Fred and George did cause him a lot of trouble.

According to him - there was no need for more Weasleys in the Forbidden Forest.

Thus, Luna, who was outstanding in class, came into Hagrid's sight.Hagrid found that the little girl seemed to be able to get along with any animal, especially in a contact with thestrals, which shocked him-the young thestrals were very affectionate to Luna, and Luna could still see them, but wasn't frightened at all.

The only thing that always bothered Hagrid was that whenever he was busy with other things and found Fang and Luna gone when he came back, he always found Fang and Luna in the Forbidden Forest.

Fortunately, there was no injury incident, otherwise Hagrid really didn't know how to explain to Principal Dumbledore.

For this reason, he also educated Yaya for a long time.

What else could it be because of?

It must be Luna's restless Fangya who led her into trouble.

"Children, children!"

From a long way across the cabin, Hagrid called out, "Are you still there?"

It was very quiet in the room, and there was no sound at all.

"Oops." Hagrid couldn't believe that Fang and Luna were gone again in just such a short time—

Ok?
He glanced over the fence beside the cabin and saw fresh footprints in the snow.

Finally, after getting closer, he heard two voices.

"Is Hagrid back?"

"It should be. He went to move the Christmas tree and said he would be back soon."

"Wang Wang Wang."

Yaya rushed over cheerfully, Hagrid poked his head to look inside, and found that besides Luna, Ginny was actually there.

"So you are here." He felt relieved, and asked curiously, "But what are you doing? Are there any new papers to be written?"

"No." Ginny said. She was squatting and hiding near the fence, but now she stood up, patted the snow marks on her clothes, and said with a headache, "We are here to find clues."

"What clue?" Hagrid became even more curious, feeling a little strange that he would look for clues near his house instead of the Forbidden Forest.

Shouldn't that be the place where students are most willing to make trouble?

But this time, Ginny hesitated and refused to say the reason.

She wasn't Fred and George, and if it wasn't for Luna pulling her along, she wouldn't have had the experience of sneaking into the Forbidden Forest before.

Ginny was just curious about her lost memory.

She originally planned to give up, because Professor Haimer said in class that the course she is taking now is related to the soul, but that experience was harmful to her, so it was eliminated.

However, what Ginny never expected was that she almost got the answer from Luna just by asking casually.

Although Ginny had forgotten, Luna remembered—especially Pandora, she remembered better than anyone else.

"You have encountered bad people." Pandora wrote in her notebook at the time: "But if it weren't for that experience, Luna and I would never have had the chance to know you."

This is related to an accidental bag switch in the second grade. Luna mistook Tom Riddle in the notebook for Pandora.

Ginny mistook Pandora for Tom. For this reason, she even thought about sneaking into the dormitory of Ravenclaw College, intending to steal Tom's diary again, and then return Pandora.

In fact, Ginny actually did.

She never thought that she would have such a bold day!
However, it also made her more curious about that lost memory.

For this reason, she went back to the chicken coop next to the cabin—Pandora told her that Ginny had revealed that she had been here, and her clothes were still stained with chicken feathers, as if she had attacked them.

Seeing that Ginny refused to speak, Hagrid's eyes suddenly became suspicious, and he asked, "Aren't you planning to do something bad secretly, children?"

"Let me think about it." Luna said surprisingly, "It seems to be pretty much the same—hmm."

Ginny quickly covered her mouth and said, "No, how could it be, Hagrid."

Hagrid stared at them carefully for a while, then he suddenly walked up to the two of them, his body was as huge as a hill, and Ginny looked terrified, she never thought that Hagrid would become so scary one day.

"You tell me."

Hagrid bent down, and he said seriously, "Isn't it tooth-leading?"

"It finally became as smart as Al?"

Ginny stood blankly for a while, she looked down at Yaya who was having fun in place, and then turned her head to look at Luna.

How on earth did Luna teach Hagrid a lesson? ——
""Ancient Magic and Funny Animals", um, have you read this article?"

At dinner, Ron, biting his ribs, pointed to a report in the Quibbler's Hogwarts column and said, "Hagrid wrote it, but why can't I understand it? Look at that." This sentence—[Is it possible that the Hippogriff brought back a moon toad, and if there is a skilled rider, it might actually fly to the moon.] Hagrid is talking nonsense what?"

"I've read it a long time ago." Hermione said calmly: "The person who taught him is Luna, so I'm not surprised that Hagrid would write this kind of article. Only a few people should be able to understand it."

"I just can't read it." Harry said aside, "But if I had the chance, I would really like to hear how Luna taught Hagrid, and he didn't mention dragons! It's incredible."

Ron immediately became silly and cheerful. He put down the clean ribs, wiped his hands with a paper towel casually, and said in a natural tone: "By the way, do you still have pocket money?"

"I can lend you some gold." Harry said indifferently, "I don't have much chance to spend it anyway."

"My parents gave me another five Galleons when they heard that I was going to stay in school." Hermione also went on to say, "What are you going to do? Are you going to do business like Fred and George? Tell me in advance, I won't Ready to join in."

"You guys are really rich." Ron said enviously: "But I haven't thought about starting a business yet, who knows if Fred and George will lose everything - it's Hogsmeade Village, we'll see when the time comes The circus should cost money, right? Since you still have pocket money, I saved some before, and then I will go to Honeydukes to buy some ice mice—what’s the matter with you? Why are you not talking? ?”

Ron looked at the two in confusion.

Hermione's expression became a little bit awkward, and she said apologetically, "Sorry, Ron, I may not be able to go, Professor Highmore wrote me a book list, and I have to finish reading it before the celebration starts." ——Otherwise, it will affect the interest too much at that time, and I will not be able to talk to those powerful guests properly, and I still want to get a copy of Mr. Scamander's autograph."

"What do you want his autograph for?" Ron couldn't understand Hermione's thoughts: "Is that worth much?"

"Extraordinary ingenuity is the greatest wealth of human beings." Hermione said as if singing: "This is what Luna taught me. You should also get to know the founder of the school well."

"They won't notice an ordinary student like me." Ron snorted, putting his arm around Harry's shoulders: "It seems that we are the only ones left—"

But Harry quietly pushed Ron's arm off.

"I can't go either."

Ron's expression was as if he had seen an acromant with his own eyes - he was terribly frightened.

"Don't tell me you're also planning to go to the library!" He said in horror, "Is this some kind of curse? I knew that Hermione, who loves to learn, is out of her mind."

"Hey!" Hermione said dissatisfiedly, "What do you mean by being out of your mind?"

"Because you know a lot of magic." Ron lowered his voice and said, "Compared with idiots, are you more likely to be ambitious? This is what I understand from a series of reports before— —You know who I'm talking about, Grindelwald, and—you know."

He winked, pretending to be mysterious.

Harry and Hermione exchanged a look, and now Ron looked like the idiot he said himself.

"It's not the library." Harry said the excuse he had made up a long time ago: "It's Hedwig, it made a lot of mistakes in the drama, and it will have to rehearse with Mr. Al, and I will also be there .”

"Oh." Ron said distressedly: "Why is this the time, and what does the trouble Hedwig caused have anything to do with you? It's not you who acted."

Hermione stared at Harry strangely, already suspecting in her heart that Harry was going to see Cedric again.

"Listen." She said suddenly, feeling that she should speak clearly at this moment: "What I want to tell you is that nothing can affect the relationship between the few of us."

Harry looked at her in confusion, and Ron put on a look full of goosebumps: "Look, I said she's out of her mind."

"Shut up!" Hermione said angrily, "Eat your drumsticks, Ginny deserves it for not liking you."

"What's wrong with the chicken legs?" Ron was also angry: "Besides, it's not my problem that Ginny doesn't like me. It's obvious that she has a lot of brothers, and she can't like it at all."

"Well," said Harry hesitantly, "isn't it because you're too ordinary? Don't look at me like that, you just said that yourself."

Ron glared at Harry hard, and he said through gritted teeth, "When I learn the devil too, you'll know what restlessness is. You can't use that as an excuse forever."

Harry and Hermione exchanged another look, and they were now quite sure that Ron was what he called a fool.
-
Harry left the common room alone at night.

In his heart he felt a little sorry for Ron and Hermione, because he had to keep the two of them a secret, and couldn't tell them that he was going to a new class taught by Highmore.

But there is no way around it, after all, Professor Highmore has said that even Headmaster Dumbledore must be concealed, otherwise, otherwise
Eh?
Harry suddenly remembered that Professor Highmore didn't seem to have said what would have happened otherwise.

This seemed to be the first time that Professor Haimer didn't mention a specific punishment, not even confinement.

What was Professor Highmore trying to teach him?

Harry came to the gate of the Ancient Magic Office anxiously, he hesitated for a while, trying to find a way to calm himself down as soon as possible.

After half a minute, he knocked on the door.

Without a sound, the door slowly opened in front of him.

Professor Highmore was standing in front of the window. He looked up at the moon that was about to fill up in the sky, and asked without looking back, "Are you ready, Harry?"

Harry was a little taken aback by the scene, but he quickly thought of Luna's miraculously resurrected mother, and then thought of his own parents.

This is more effective than any other method.

"I'm ready, Professor," said Harry firmly, ready to accept anything, even evil.

"Fine." Toby turned around, fixed Harry with serious eyes and said, "Then let's get started."

The door closed behind Harry, and he heard Professor Highmore continue to say to himself, "First lesson, summon your devil—"

"And eat it."
