The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 107 Christmas Arrives

"Aragok is my friend, it's not good for me to be like this right after he died." Hagrid said a little sadly.

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

"You're right, I shouldn't only care about myself. Dumbledore is a good man and has helped me a lot, and I can't trouble him anymore." Hagrid said solemnly after thinking about it.

After drinking tea for a while, Ryan and the others said goodbye to Hagrid. When they went out, everyone's pockets were filled with Hagrid's homemade milk candies.

"Big spider that can eat people, I really don't know why Hagrid kept those things. Fortunately, it's dead now." Ron commented on the way.

"It's not good to say that, after all, Hagrid is our friend." Harry frowned and said.

"It has nothing to do with whether Hagrid is a friend or not," Ryan said. "As far as I know, Ron's twin brother took an adventure in the Forbidden Forest when he was in the second grade. I think there are not many students who love adventure like this, but there are still some. Think about it, acromantula likes to eat people , What will happen if they encounter these acromantia? So I think it is a good thing that acromantula disappears 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 triggered a discussion among the three, and finally, with Ryan's efforts, Harry and Ron admitted that a passing fire dragon killed the spider.The reason is that Hagrid said that he found a lot of traces of fire.And if it is a dark wizard, they will not give up expensive venom and use fire to kill giant spiders.

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 first, and finally to the headmaster's office.

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

The notice posted in the school two days later dispelled everyone's doubts.The notice said that Hagrid had been banned from using magic because of a serious suspicion in a murder case.He is now found innocent of the murders, when the Ministry of Magic miscalculated.

The efficiency of the Ministry of Magic is very high, which is completely different from the situation where Harry encountered the dementor in the fourth grade in the original text.Ryan thinks this may be because Dumbledore knew through the diary and memories that it was Voldemort who reported on Hagrid.Plus now Hagrid has the hard evidence (Acromantula remains) 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 most of them have even passed away.This reversal of the verdict will not affect the authority of the Ministry of Magic, and even if it is properly publicized, it can create an image of the Ministry of Magic as upright and correct when it knows its mistakes.So the Ministry of Magic naturally gave the green light all the way 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, everyone wants to be close to a good person with a simple personality.)
Seeing Hagrid's happy smile and his mental outlook that seemed to be ten years younger, Ryan suddenly felt that it was a good thing for him to kill Aragog.After all, the acromantula brought huge troubles to the Forbidden Forest and Hagrid when it was alive, but all problems were solved when it died.

A few days later, it was the second week of December. Professor McGonagall came over as usual to collect the list of students who stayed in school for Christmas.Lane signed on to the list; since his parents said they were going skiing in the Austrian Alps for their fifteenth wedding anniversary, Lane figured he'd better not be a light bulb.

It seems that looking for the treasure that Nick said can only be done in summer vacation, Ryan feels a little regretful.However, Dave just informed him that everything he needed would be ready before Christmas, and Ryan felt that he could take advantage of the lack of people in the school to kill the basilisk in the secret room.

In the next few days, Ryan went to Hagrid to help him master some simple spells when he was free, and showed off his cooking skills to those who missed the meal (at least better than Hagrid. Assassin inheritance includes everything, including cooking in wild survival. There is also medicated cooking).

With his cooking skills, Ryan made an excuse to cook something with the taste of his hometown.Successfully took four or five roosters from Hagrid and kept them 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 had many classmates left behind, except for Harry who must stay every year, there are also a few Weasley brothers, because this year the Weasleys are going to Romania to visit Bill, and they decided not to follow To avoid financial pressure on the family.

The dawn of Christmas came, and it was cold and white all around.Ryan got up early that morning, the dorm was empty, and the dormmates had all gone home for Christmas.

After getting out of bed, Ryan found that the gift had been placed on the floor beside the bed.My parents gave me a Swarovski crystal ball and a postcard from Salzburg.Harry sent a copy of The Encyclopedia of Common Magic, and the Weasley twins sent a large box of candy, but Lane planned to find out what it was before eating it, and he suspected it was an experiment by the Weasley brothers.Ron gave another copy of "101 Home Charms".Could it be that he is a nerd image in the eyes of Harry and Ron?Ryan thought.

Hagrid's gift is very special, it is a large piece of fudge, after Ryan learned that Harry and Ron also got the same gift, he knew that Hagrid must have made a big pot in one go and then distributed it to his friends .

The most expensive gift came from Hermione, who copied Professor McGonagall's transfiguration notes from his student days.Sure enough, the top students will get preferential treatment from the professors.Fortunately, Ryan had an idea this time and sent Professor Sprout's handwritten notes on herbal medicine, so he was not rude.

At the Christmas dinner at Hogwarts, everyone ate with gusto.Because there are very few people staying in the school, the empty auditorium looks even more magnificent.Not only were there a dozen frost-covered Christmas trees and thick friezes of mistletoe and holly criss-crossing the ceiling, but there was also enchanted snow, warm and dry, falling softly from the ceiling. .

The professors were also very happy. Dumbledore led them to sing some of his favorite Christmas carols, and Hagrid's voice became louder and louder as he poured glass after glass of eggnog.Percy, oblivious to the fact that Fred had bewitched his prefect badge to read "Dummy," kept asking what everyone was laughing at.Drake taunted Harry every day, and then got kicked back.Everyone is happy.

Lane ate as much as he could, because a strenuous exercise awaited him in the evening.
