I'm a priest at Hogwarts

Chapter 186 Fishing in the Black Lake
Harry didn't confess to Dumbledore in the end, and Hermione ignored them for days.Orlando doesn't care, young people will always be a little rebellious.

As expected, Hagrid lost the lawsuit. Even though he used all the cards prepared by Hermione, he won the debate, but the bureaucrats who received money still sentenced Buckbeak to death.

Hermione was heartbroken, and big tears fell down, leaving Orlando at a loss.

"Here's Hagrid's reply," she handed Orlando a piece of paper with Hagrid's scribbled handwriting on it.

Dear Hermione: We lost and they allowed me to take it back to Hogwarts.The date of the execution is yet to be decided, Buckbeak loves London, and I will not forget the help you have given us, please tell Orlando for me that I will follow his arrangements. — Hagrid.

"Isn't this expected, besides, we have already arranged a countermeasure, and Hagrid is not discouraged, so you shouldn't be sad." Orlando persuaded for a while, and Harry and Ron also came to persuade her, and finally let her Stopped the tears.

"Let's go see if Buckbeak is okay, I'll prepare some dried fish for him," Hermione suggested.

What can Orlando say? Hermione has always been very guilty of this matter. If she is not allowed to do something, she will probably feel uncomfortable all the time. So they met out of the castle and went to Hagrid's cabin to visit it.

Hagrid tied Buckbeak in his yard. Hermione went over and poured a pile of dried fish into its stone trough. Buckbeak didn't seem to like the smell after smelling it. He would rather eat something fresh food.

"It doesn't seem to like small dried fish very much." Ron said smartly.

"It's good to change the taste once in a while, maybe it will like it later." Orlando kicked him.

"Dried fish will strengthen his bones, Hermione, Buckbeak is a good boy and not picky eater, he will like it." Hagrid came out and filled his bucket with water.

After hearing this, Hermione was a little happier.

"When I saw that committee put Lucius Malfoy's Gallon in his pocket, I knew I couldn't win this case." Hagrid wiped his clothes with his furry palm, and said very calmly . "They're a gang, and the court session is just a formality. I figured it out, so I have to do what Orlando did to them."

Harry didn't know what to say. Hagrid used to talk about the Ministry of Magic with awe, but now he talked about the Ministry of Magic with nothing but hatred.

"Hagrid, you can't act recklessly like Orlando. He is a student who is hotheaded and does some outrageous things and can still be vague. You can't do it. You will only get yourself involved in this way. You must not be confused." Hermione Quickly advise.

"That's right, that's right. The Ministry of Magic has hundreds of Aurors, and every one of them is a good player. They are not so easy to deal with." The Weasley family has worked in the Ministry of Magic for many years, and Ron still knows something. Insider.

"Hagrid, don't worry about it, the problem will be solved, and then we can just watch their jokes."

"Yeah, Hagrid, you managed to win the job as a teacher of the Protection of Magical Creatures class, but you can't lose your job just because of impulse, listen to Orlando, let's just watch the jokes, okay?" Harry was afraid that Hagrid would be angry. Regardless of his heart, he quickly persuaded him.

Hagrid's clenched fist loosened and tightened, tightened and loosened, and finally heaved a long sigh, as if letting go of something.

"Okay, I'll listen to you."

Everyone comforted for a long time, and finally calmed Hagrid's mood.

"It's been a long time since we went to the lake, why don't we go and relax." Coming out of Hagrid, Orlando immediately suggested when seeing that Hermione was not in a good mood.

"Okay." Ron was about to agree subconsciously, but was interrupted by a kick from Harry.

"You go, Ron and I still have homework to write, so we won't be with you."

Harry pulled Ron away, leaving room for them both.

Orlando and Hermione walked hand in hand by the edge of the black lake, the breeze blowing across the lake brought a little bit of cool air, which made people feel refreshed.

"Hermione, have you ever fished?"

"Fishing? My father took me there once when I was a child. It's been too long and I don't remember it." Hermione said after thinking about it.

"Let me teach you how to fish." Orlando and his grandfather depended on each other in the previous life. Every summer, his grandfather would take him to fish in order to improve the food.

"Okay, but how do we catch nothing?"

"Wait for me, I have a solution." Orlando turned back to the Forbidden Forest. He knew where there was bamboo to make fishing rods. As for fishing lines and hooks, it would be even easier. His Transfiguration was not for nothing.

Soon two simple versions of fishing gear were freshly released. Although they looked a bit ugly, they did not affect their use.

"Where's the bait?" Hermione asked suspiciously while holding the fishing rod.

"Isn't this ready-made?" Orlando pointed a few flying insects to the ground, "That's all there is to it."

Putting worms on the hook, Hermione followed Orlando's example and threw the hook out, and then the two sat quietly on the shore waiting for the bait to be hooked.

"Hooked, hooked." Hermione shouted excitedly, she pulled hard, but unfortunately the fish was unhooked too much.

"Don't worry, wait for the float to sink into the water before closing the rod. If you catch it too early, the fish will easily escape." Orlando explained as he re-stringed the bait for her.

The two sat down again. There were not many people fishing in this black lake all year round, and there were quite a lot of fish in the lake.No, in a short while Orlando caught more than a dozen fish, big and small, and Hermione was not bad either. After mastering the fishing skills, he also caught seven or eight fish one after another.

"There's no more bait." Hermione said unsatisfactorily as she twisted the empty hook.

"Let's stop here today. Another day, let's prepare a boat and go fishing in the middle of the lake, okay?" Orlando coaxed.

"Okay." Hermione put away the fishing rod with a smile, and laboriously pulled a net-sized fish out of the water, "Give Buckbeak extra food tonight, he must like to eat these fresh fish."

Orlando picked two small fish from it for Hermione to hold, and then twisted up the rest, "You wait here for me, I'll send it to Hagrid." Orlando strode towards Hagrid's hut .

"Does Buckbeak like it?" asked Hermione, who was watching Orlando come back.

"I like it, but the internal organs of the fish are all over the place. Hagrid keeps complaining that the fish smell is too strong." Orlando shook his head and smiled.

"Crookshanks, come and see what delicious food I've brought you." In the common room, Crookshanks was snoring while basking in the sun by the window, and jumped down when he heard the master's call.

"Fresh fish, eat it quickly." Hermione scratched its chin and pointed to the fish on the ground.

Just as Hermione and Orlando squatted aside happily watching the live broadcast of Crookshanks eating fish.A pot exploded in the Gryffindor lounge. Harry and Ron fought with Slytherin for some unknown reason. Harry used unknown magic to injure Malfoy and his two followers, and was killed. Professor Flitwick caught the scene and is now locked in Professor McGonagall's office.

After hearing this, Hermione couldn't care less about petting the cat anymore, she grabbed Orlando and ran away.At this time, the door of Professor McGonagall's office was already full of onlookers. Many students who heard the news didn't know what happened, and they spread word of mouth to each other, making the corridor noisy.

"Excuse me, let me go." Hermione took Orlando and squeezed to the front with great difficulty, when she heard Professor McGonagall's roar from inside.

"Who gave you the courage to use magic against your classmates? Is that why the school taught you magic to let you do this?" Then there was another roar, and it seemed that Professor McGonagall was very angry.

"We left for a while, and they caused such a big mess?" Hermione said angrily as she watched the credits drop sharply.

"Young people, it's inevitable that you get angry easily." Orlando said casually, but Hermione glared at him.

"That's not the reason for them to cause trouble. Originally, it was very hopeful to win the Academy Cup this year, but now it's all over."

"Things have already happened, and it won't help to think about it. We still hurry up, the charm class is about to start, you don't want to be deducted for being late." Orlando had to remind.
