Chapter 409 The Devil’s Invitation (Please Give Me a Guaranteed Monthly Ticket!)
"Ahem, Mr. Luber, are you sure we want to stand at the door and chat all the time?"
Grindelwald coughed slightly, interrupting Hagrid's excited sobs slightly inappropriately.
"In this happy moment, maybe we should celebrate with a big glass of brandy or hot tea."
Compared with Albus Dumbledore and Cornelius Fudge, who were quite emotional, Grindelwald, who graduated from Durmstrang, obviously did not have such deep feelings for his alma mater - for him, the school was just A place to acquire knowledge and skills.
Thinking about it from another perspective, if Durmstrang now announced to revoke his expulsion decision and asked him to return to school for further studies, Gellert Grindelwald would regard this behavior as a provocation. and ridicule.
"Of course, I'm sorry, Professor, Mr. Minister." Hagrid's voice seemed to be softening with joy. He composed himself with a hint of sobs and opened the wooden door of the hut, "Please come in, please come in..."
Elena looked in through the open wooden door. It was a very messy small space.
Hams, pheasants, and lake fish hang from the ceiling, and a copper kettle is used to boil water in a crackling fire pot. There is a large bed in the corner with quilts patchwork of rags - obviously, I want to be in the market. Buying a four-piece bed set that suits Hagrid's figure is not an easy task.
"Well, I won't go in."
Cornelius Fudge glanced at the dead rats piled up in the corner (those were snacks used to feed some big horses), and then glanced at Fang Ya, who was still grinning at him and making a low purring sound, and pressed it unnaturally. Top hat in hand.
"Look, Professor Dumbledore. Although Hagrid's records have been eliminated, there are still some paperwork and regulatory documents that need to be processed and followed up - and there are still many things in the ministry waiting for me to go back and deal with. Since The matter is over, so it’s better for me to go back as soon as possible.”
"Well, Connelly, as much as I want to say it, sitting down and having a cup of tea won't take much time."
Dumbledore shrugged, smiled and nodded, "Perhaps this is why I am not suitable to be the Minister of Magic? Compared to you capable and energetic young people, the elderly are always much lazier. "
The atmosphere became more relaxed as Cornelius Fudge left Hagrid's cabin.
Following Gellert Grindelwald's suggestion, after entering the hut, Hagrid poured each of them a cup of tea, then took out a bottle of brandy that he had collected for a long time from the fireplace, and generously filled it for Gellert Grindelwald. Had a big cup.
Immediately afterwards, Hagrid first served a large plate of rock crust cakes next to the fireplace. After seeing the polite but awkward smiles of the two old wizards, he patted his forehead in realization, turned around and served it again from nowhere. A big plate of treacle toffee.
"uh-huh?!"
Elena glanced at the plate of toffee on the table, then turned her head and glanced at the two old wizards whose wrinkles were about to turn into chrysanthemums from laughter, and snorted noncommittally - Misstep, beware of everything. , I didn’t expect that Hagrid’s inventory was missed.
Of course, the next time was very enjoyable.
Hagrid first rambled on to the three of them about his experience at Hogwarts, and his gratitude to Dumbledore for believing in and supporting him over the years. It can be seen that although the world is not so friendly to Rubeus Hagrid, due to Dumbledore, Hagrid has generally lived a more open-minded life in recent years.
As they chatted, everyone's topic gradually fell on Elena.
"Then again, Hagrid, you have to thank Elena and Professor Binns for discovering the secret room."
Dumbledore took a sip of hot tea, swallowed the syrup toffee in his mouth slowly, glanced meaningfully at a certain white-haired dumpling that suddenly froze, paused and said softly.
"If it weren't for Miss Kaslana accidentally activating Professor Binns' vitality, I don't know how many more years it will take before we discover the location of the Slytherin Chamber of Secrets - except for ghosts, who want to find That mysterious room hidden deep under Hogwarts was indeed a bit too difficult. Even so, we almost lost Professor Binns."
"Yes, I've heard that."
Hagrid nodded very seriously, picked up a large handkerchief and wiped his eyes, his tone full of guilt.
"In order to find Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets, Professor Binns suffered a lot of magical damage, so much so that Mr. Otto Apocalypse had to be asked to teach in the History of Magic course recently. Of course, there are Thank you, Elena, if I could do anything to help..."
Want to help? That's not simple yet.
Hearing Hagrid's words, Elena's eyes couldn't help but brighten, and she quickly raised her little head - this was what she was waiting for. She was worried that there was no good entry point to lobby Hagrid, but she didn't expect that Hagrid actually came to her door. coming.
I was expecting Grindelwald and Dumbledore to take the initiative to speak. Who would have thought that these two old guys would fall on a plate of cheap syrup toffee so easily, and they would know what to say and keep rubbing it. After all, she had to do it herself.
"Mr. Hagrid, speaking of which, I do have a few things to trouble you about."
I saw Elena put down the tea cup gently, showed a cute smile that Grindelwald was very familiar with, and said sweetly.
"I wonder if you still remember the collective mushroom poisoning incident that happened in the first week of school."
"Huh?! That thing! Of course, of course! How could I forget it!"
The smile on Hagrid's face froze, and the large wine glass in his hand shook uncontrollably, and the brandy in the glass spilled out.
There is no doubt that this can be said to be the most serious mass poisoning incident that has occurred at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the past hundred years, second only to the incident a few hundred years ago when several young wizards accidentally brewed potions in the Potions class. A highly volatile toxic potion was produced.
As a key figure in the "Mushroom Poisoning Incident", whenever he recalled this incident, Rubeus Hagrid felt so ashamed that he wished he could commit suicide on the spot... If a student really died because of this, he believed that at least one of them Most of the responsibility lies with him.
You know, from that week on, Hagrid would patrol around the Forbidden Forest every day, ruthlessly removing all the Amanita muscaria in sight - after more than half a month, not to mention Amanita muscaria, Hogg Within a five-mile radius of the Watts Forbidden Forest, not even a slightly larger wild mushroom could be found.
However, what confused Hagrid was that judging from the tone of Elena Kaslana's mention of this matter, it seemed that she did not want to blame him again, so what did this child mean...
After a few minutes of silence, Hagrid's mood gradually calmed down. He drank a large gulp of brandy to calm himself down. He glanced at the two old wizards who were watching quietly next to him, and looked at Elena with some confusion.
"I'm sorry, but I still don't know what I can do..."
"Obviously, whether it is the Forbidden Forest or the magical world, there are many magical animals or plants that are dangerous to human wizards. Therefore, I would like to invite you to participate in "The Quibbler - On the Tip of the Tongue" "Hogwarts" section, sharing some experiences about magical animals and plants."
Elena stretched out her fingers and tapped on the table, licked her lips lightly, and whispered softly.
"This aspect of knowledge sharing needs to include not only how to take care of them, but also how to identify dangerous animals and plants, how to respond when necessary, and even how to handle and cook them..."
