Thanks to the magical invisibility cloak left to Harry by his father, Hermione slipped out of the castle without any hindrance.
While passing by the Great Hall, Hermione glanced at Madam Pomfrey, who was chatting animatedly with the Hogwarts librarian, Mrs. Pince, at the staff table at the front of the auditorium. , urged in a low voice,
"Hurry up, Harry, Ron, Madam Pomfrey will rush back to the campus hospital before ten o'clock, and I don't want her to find out that I'm not lying quietly. "On the hospital bed"
"Actually, you don't have to go there in person, Hermione, we will tell you everything we know from Hagrid"
Ron speeded up. He stopped walking and looked at the air in front of him, pretending to be nonchalant, and Harry nodded in approval.
"Stop talking nonsense, you two,"
The moment she stepped out of the castle gate, the sudden bright light and the breeze blowing in her face made Hermione feel happy. Much better, her orange cat eyes shone with excitement,
"Before leaving Hagrid's hut, I was worried that you would forget everything Hagrid said"
Halloween has passed for a while. Because the large pumpkin vine behind the house has been cleared and the ground is covered with heavy snow, Hagrid's cabin looks much neater than usual. When Harry and the others arrived , Hagrid was chopping the Christmas tree used to decorate the Great Hall for Christmas into firewood.
This may be a strenuous task for others, but for Hagrid, who is more than ten feet tall and has a waist circumference five times that of an ordinary person, it is the simplest thing. He only needs to lift Put the ax down gently, and the Christmas trees as thick as the mouth of a bowl will be broken into several pieces.
The black hound who was having fun on the snow spotted Harry and the others first. It stood on a raised snow slope and howled happily at them.
"Don't scream, Yaya, you just ate a whole chicken."
When he looked in the direction of Yaya's roar, most of his hair was covered by his furry beard. A smile appeared on his face,
"Hey, Harry, Ron, it's you two"
Hagrid waved his arms happily and struggled in the two feet of snow. Harry said hello, "This is really wrong, Harry, you always like to come to me in the middle of the night wearing an invisibility cloak"
"That's because I need to go to class during the day, Hagrid"
Ouch
Harry, who was supporting Hermione under the invisibility cloak, accidentally stepped on the air and fell to the ground. Hermione, who was accidentally involved, screamed and got out of his way. A ball,
"Stop watching the fun, Hagrid, come and help us"
"Oh, God"
Suddenly appeared between Harry and Hermione next to Ron made Hagrid freeze in his steps.
"You also brought me a catman"
After a while, the man in front of the house Hagrid made a surprise call.
Hagrid’s room is still as messy as ever, in a narrow wooden house.The ceiling was covered with hams and pheasants, and a copper kettle was used to boil water in the brazier. The rag quilt on the big bed in the corner had no other changes except that the color became darker.
"Please, Hagrid, don't ask me why I am like this,"
Hermione, who sat down on the edge of the bed, looked up and noticed the intense look in Hagrid's eyes. Curious for knowledge, he immediately said angrily, "That was a nightmare, and I don't want to mention it again."
Ron smiled heartlessly, and even the corners of Harry's lips raised in worry.
"Okay, okay."
Hagrid shrugged regretfully,
"I just wanted to know if it was possible to cultivate it experimentally. Cat people, since you don’t want to share them, don’t grin like a fool, Fang, that’s Hermione, not a cat, you should be able to smell Hermione’s scent.”
He took out a few cups, put some dark tea leaves into them, and prepared to make a cup of hot tea for the three of them. However, it would take a while for the water on the stove to boil. While waiting, Hagrid prepared it very enthusiastically. Desserts made by him himself
"You don't look very happy, Harry, would you like some toffee"
"Thanks, Hagrid, I don't have much appetite"
Harry, who had experienced Hagrid's cooking skills many times, declined politely. He, Ron and Hermione looked at each other, and after a silent exchange, Harry asked,
< p>"Actually, Hagrid, we came here today to ask you about someone, we think you should have heard of him."Hagrid, who was fingering the coals, chuckled. Coming out, he looked at Harry through the handle of the copper kettle and said in a teasing tone
"Who do you three want to inquire about? Harry, let me remind you first, there is no hidden treasure in the castle this year." "A magic stone"
Yes, there is indeed no magic stone, but there is an extra chamber of secrets
Harry cursed in his heart, but his mood did not get any better because of Hagrid's joke.
"Amosta Brain, Hagrid, have you heard of this person?"
Because Hermione's time was limited, Harry asked directly.
"Amosta Brain"
Hagrid blinked, looking surprised, "Why did you mention him?"
"So Come on, you do know him." Hermione immediately asked, "Tell us, Hagrid, what do you know?"
Hagrid did not answer the question immediately, but looked at him in confusion. Ron,
"Don't you have any memory of Amosta Blaine, Ron?"
"I must have heard this name somewhere, but, It’s not like I heard it from my father, Hagrid, why do you think I know him?”
Ron raised his eyebrows in confusion, trying desperately to remember.
"You must have heard of it, Ron"
Hagrid laughed, and he took the hot pot off the stove.Kettle, made a cup of tea for all three of them, "He is a Slytherin student, the same class as your brother Bill. He has probably graduated for more than three years. Anyway, I haven't heard much about him in the past few years." news, but it’s not surprising. He was very introverted when he was in school and didn’t like to be in the spotlight.”
“In this case, maybe Bill once mentioned it to me.”
< p>Ron still hasn't picked up that lost memory."Introverted"
Hermione's tone was also confused. She tried to recall every bit of the brief meeting last night. If she was asked to evaluate, Mr. Blaine He's a little too friendly and doesn't look like a Slytherin at all, but it's hard to tell if he's an introvert.
"Well, I can't say that I'm introverted. In short, I just don't like to deal with people, at least at that time."
Because there were three more people in the room, Hai Ge could only stand and talk,
"I have barely interacted with him, and the information I know is all hearsay
It is said that Amosta Blaine is an orphan. , spent his childhood in an orphanage. You know, in Slytherin College, children born as orphans are unlikely to be welcomed. Therefore, in the first few years when he entered Hogwarts, he received a lot of looks. If it hadn't been for Professor Snape's protection, perhaps his situation would have been more difficult."
Hagrid did not have many memories of Amostabrain in his mind, so he spoke slowly, but. No one in the room urged him, and even Ron gave up recalling and stared at Hagrid intently.
“I heard from the professors that Blaine was a very studious little wizard, and he was very polite when asking questions. His grades were considered excellent, of course, compared with Bill, Percy and Bill at the time. You can't compare."
Hagrid looked at Hermione and said,
"But you just can't get close to him, it's like he's deliberately keeping away from anyone. However, considering that he is a Muggle-born orphan, it is not difficult for the professors to understand his isolation."
"It sounds like he is a very ordinary person."
< p>Ron frowned,"And he belongs to Slytherin, so why did I hear his name from Bill or maybe Charlie?"
"This I have to mention the fight that happened in the Forbidden Forest when Blaine was in fifth grade."
Hagrid drank the water from his basin-sized water jar in one gulp, like a copper bell. Shock flashed in his eyes,
"Although several years have passed since that duel, looking back now, I still can't believe it"
