Chinese students at Hogwarts.

Chapter 124 Hagrid's Apology

Several people stopped far away, because of the angle, they happened to be blocked by a large group of huge pumpkins.

"It's so easy to do if you know how!"

Lockhart speaking loudly to Hagrid

"If you need any help, just come to me, you know where I am!
I'll give you a book I wrote - I'm surprised you don't have one yet.

I'll sign it and send it over tonight.Attached is my autographed photo!This is a privilege that only Hogwarts employees can enjoy!

Good, goodbye!" He shook his gorgeous purple robe and strode towards the castle.

They waited until Lockhart was out of sight, then came out of the pumpkin patch, went to the door of the cabin, and knocked urgently.

Hagrid came out immediately, looking angry, but when he saw them outside the door, he immediately smiled.

"Been talking about when you're coming to see me - come in, come in - I just thought it was Professor Lockhart coming back."

Hagrid was busy making tea for them, and his big hound Yaya put his head affectionately in front of Zhang Xiao, his thick tail flicked like an electric fan.

This time it was Ron who was hit by the tail.
"What's Lockhart doing here, Hagrid?" Harry asked, stroking Fang's shiny black fur.

"Teach me how to keep a nixy from getting into a well!" said Hagrid angrily.

A half-plucked rooster was taken from the well-scrubbed table and placed on the teapot.

"As if I didn't know. And bragging about how he got rid of female ghosts. If one of them was true, I'd eat the teapot."

Criticizing the teachers at Hogwarts was completely uncharacteristic of Hagrid, and the three little ones looked at him in surprise.

Hermione tried to defend Lockhart, but his performance was really not convincing.

So she said in a rare unconfident tone: "Isn't this unfair?

Professor Dumbledore evidently thought he was the most suitable man—"

"The only one," said Hagrid, serving them a plate of fudge.

"I mean the only one.

It is very difficult to find a Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher these days. People don't want to do it very much. They think it is an unlucky job. "

Zhang Xiao narrowed his eyes and asked directly:

"Unlucky? Hagrid, I heard this position is cursed?"

Hagrid let out a cold snort comparable to a tractor:

"It's all nonsense. After the mysterious man gained power, many people are against him. The professors of Defense Against the Dark Arts are all experts in this field.

Under the leadership of Professor Dumbledore, they bravely resisted Voldemort, so it is normal to have injuries.

When the Mysterious Man is down, what is the name of the professor who taught black magic?Don't you live well? "

Zhang Xiao nodded thoughtfully, yes, if there is such a curse, with Dumbledore's wisdom, it is impossible not to think of re-opening a class and changing the name to avoid the curse.

It doesn't matter what the name of the class is, what matters is the content of the teaching.

Hagrid turned around, and carefully walked out from the bed with a large wooden box, and put it on the table.

"Just now when Lockhart was here, I asked Norbert to hide."

As he spoke, he lifted the lid and shouted in a 'gentle' voice:

"Noble, let's see who is here?"

When the wooden box was opened, a stench came out immediately, and everyone covered their noses one after another. Hagrid said with a slightly embarrassed expression:
"Just now, I was afraid that Noble would be unhappy, so I put some snacks for him."

Noble shook off the dead mouse in his mouth, stared at the three with snake-like pupils, suddenly spread his wings and flew up, snorting.

Two small balls of bright flame burst from its nostrils.

Hagrid smiled very happily:
"The baby has grown up. Last month, it was still a large group of sparks. Now it is a fireball!"

Zhang Xiao stretched out her hand to touch Noble, Hagrid immediately became worried:
"Be careful."

Noble quickly raised his head and opened his mouth to 'lightly' bite his finger to express intimacy.

But Zhang Xiao laughed, put his middle finger on his index finger, bent slightly, flicked it lightly with a faint golden light.

It was like hitting something, accompanied by a muffled 'bang'.

Noble's head was thrown back violently, it neighed, and looked at Zhang Xiao's finger with some fear.

Skin!What's wrong with touching you?
Zhang Xiao touched her again, this time Norber didn't show 'intimacy' but obediently let him touch his head, squinting his eyes showing a comfortable look.

Several people exclaimed together:
"Wow! Cool!"

They are no longer surprised by Zhang's strange skills.

At the beginning, he asked if he could learn it, but Zhang threw a book full of square characters over and said that when he could read aloud proficiently, he was thinking about teaching.

The two little ones gave up immediately, but Hermione wanted to study, but every year she encountered various things that would take her energy away, and she planned to take all the courses next year, so she had no choice but to give up this idea.

Hagrid came over to a huge chair, and sat heavily in front of Zhang Xiao. His expression was hesitant and apologetic, but he still said in a downcast voice:

"Zhang, I came to you this time because I wanted to apologize to you!"

Apologize?Why should Hagrid apologize?The three little ones looked at Hagrid curiously, did something happen that they didn't know about?
"No, no, Zhang, this is all my fault, I should apologize!" Hagrid tugged at his hair in pain.

"I put Aragog in the Forbidden Forest. I was worried that it would be lonely and found a wife for it.

If it wasn't like this, there wouldn't be so many acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest! "

Ron shivered, his voice changed: "Ha... Hagrid, you put those spiders in the Forbidden Forest?!"

"Yes, I was expelled from Hogwarts because of Aragog..."

Hermione's eyes widened in shock. For her, being expelled from school was even more terrible punishment than killing her.

She swallowed and asked cautiously, "Hagrid, why were you fired?"

Hagrid was silent for a while and said in a low voice, "50 years ago, there was a serious vicious incident in the school.

One...a student died, sorry, I don't want to mention the specifics.

They think I did it, Aragog did it!But it's all bullshit! "

Zhang Xiao nodded in agreement, that's right, people killed by the basilisk don't have any scars.

More like a life was taken away.

Acromantus spiders can't do this, they will use poison to paralyze their prey, the difference between the two methods of death is very large, but anyone who is not blind can see it.

Expelling Hagrid is just to find a scapegoat. Otherwise, how can Dumbledore be inferior to Professor McGonagall as the vice-principal.

Zhang Xiao could guess what Dumbledore was thinking at the time.

The incident in the Chamber of Secrets made people panic, and because of the death of a student, everyone was even more terrified. Hogwarts will be closed soon. Hagrid's expulsion can stabilize people's hearts. The Ministry of Magic has a scapegoat, killing two birds with one stone!
Or the big picture...

Although Dumbledore gave Hagrid a hand, Professor McGonagall will strictly stick to the bottom line and do his best so that the student will not be expelled for no reason.

Although this cannot stabilize the situation, it may even cause Hogwarts to be closed for a period of time.

There is no accurate answer to who is right and who is wrong, but emotionally he would prefer to have a headmaster like Professor McGonagall.
