Chapter 209 Hagrid, It's Time for You to Have some Snacks! (Already Edited)
After eating, Allen ran into Harry and the other three at the door, and it seemed that they were waiting for him here specially.
"Alan, we want to go and see Hagrid. Some unpleasant things happened today. You've heard about it. Are you going?" Hermione spoke quickly and said a series of words in one breath.
"I only know that Malfoy was injured in Hagrid's class, but I don't know the details." Alan looked at the three pairs of anxious eyes and said, "I'll go with you."
"But, can Harry?" Allen glanced at Harry.
Hermione obviously agreed with Allen's thoughts, "Harry, I think you should stay, we'll tell you everything when we get back, after all—"
"I can walk across the field," said Harry flatly. "Sirius Black can't get past the dementors here, can he?"
"Well, since you insist!" Allen glanced at his watch, "If we speed up, we can have a good chat with him, it's still early..."
The four hurried to the gate, arguing fiercely while walking.
"Ron, you shouldn't have provoked Malfoy today!" Hermione said dissatisfied.
"Are you going to let Malfoy insult Hagrid?" Harry defended Ron. "He called Hagrid a big fool, an idiot. Hagrid is now—a professor!" Harry sprinted, roared.
Hermione was stunned by his sudden anger, her eyes turned red.
"Harry, it's not Hermione's fault." Allen quickly eased the atmosphere, smoothing things over for the three little wizards.
"However, can anyone tell me what happened?" Allen didn't want to hear their meaningless quarrel.
"From the moment he took out the teaching materials, Malfoy has been making trouble for Hagrid. Even though the clerk told everyone how to open the "Monster Book of Monsters", he just pretended to be ignorant and mocked Hagrid. .” Harry realized his gaffe, calmed down, and started from the beginning.
"Hagrid originally prepared a hippogriff, but after your persuasion, he replaced it with a beautiful fairy. The girls liked it very much, but Malfoy laughed at Hagrid for being a big fool on the outside. It's a sissy!" Hermione said, also clenching her fists angrily.
"So you had a fight?" Allen guessed.
"No, in fact, we made a bet." Harry said bitterly.
"Yes, a foolish bet." Hermione's tone was sharp.
Allen thought that Harry would retort, but unexpectedly, Harry walked with his head muffled, without making a sound. Seeing this, Hermione's tone softened a bit, "Of course, Harry can't blame it entirely. If Ron hadn't called Malfoy a coward, they wouldn't have challenged Buckbeak."
"Is it Ron's bet?" Allen asked with raised eyebrows.
"I just called him a coward, and he made fun of Harry for fainting on the train." Ron felt that he hadn't gone too far, and Malfoy's words were ugly.
"So you bet on Buckbeak? Who can ride on its back? The worst thing is, Hagrid actually taught you how to deal with it!" Hermione said angrily.
Hearing this, Alan was very disappointed. He had clearly told Hagrid that some animals could not be tamed by a third-year wizard, but he still let Harry and Malfoy approach Buckbeak indifferently.
"Actually, Harry did a great job! I bet if Harry hadn't managed to ride Buckbeak, Malfoy wouldn't even have thought of riding Buckbeak. He just wanted Harry to break his neck." Luo En argued.
Allen believed that what he said was true. With Malfoy's shrewdness, he would never be the first to try to tame the hippogriff.
"It's lucky you didn't break Harry's neck!" Hermione said bluntly.
"Malfoy is too stupid, he shouldn't have provoked Buckbeak, calling it a big ugly beast! He deserves it!" Ron and Hermione were now facing each other, and no one would give in to the other.
Harry, on the other hand, was sandwiched between the two little friends with a troubled expression on his face.
Apart from this incident of Malfoy's injury, Ron and Hermione had already quarreled several times in just two days due to their inability to get along with each other's pets.
The four quickly walked across the wet grass, and they came to Hagrid's hut, knocked on the door, and a voice roared, "Come in."
Hagrid sat in his shirt-sleeves at the well-scrubbed wooden table, his hound Fang with his head in his lap.
They could tell at a glance that Hagrid had been drinking a lot, for he had a pewter tankard the size of a bucket in front of him, and he seemed to be blurry enough to see them clearly.
"This is probably a broken record," he said in a low voice after recognizing them. "There has probably never been a teacher who only taught a class for one day before."
"It's all my fault!" said Ron guiltily.
"And me, if only I ignored Malfoy!" Harry lowered his head.
"You're not expelled, Hagrid!" Hermione gasped in surprise, ignoring accusations against Harry and Ron.
"Not yet," said Hagrid pitifully, taking another swig from the tankard, "but it's only a matter of time, isn't it, Malfoy..."
"How's he?" Ron asked when they'd all sat down. "Not badly hurt?"
"Madam Pomfrey tried to treat him as best she could," said Hagrid muffled, "but he still says it hurts like hell... bandaged... groaning..."
"He's faking it," said Harry immediately. "Madam Pomfrey can heal anything. Last year, she made half of Lockhart's bones grow back. Malfoy must be trying to make a big deal out of it." Make a fuss."
"Needless to say, the school directors must have known about it," Hagrid said sadly, "They think I didn't ensure the safety of the teaching environment, and it's all my fault... If I could think of Alan at the time, I would have been more cautious, It won't happen."
"Malfoy deserved it, Hagrid!" said Hermione sincerely.
"We're all witnesses," said Harry. "You said that if the hippogriff was offended it would attack. Malfoy himself wasn't listening. We're going to tell Dumbledore what happened. "
"Yeah, don't worry, Hagrid, we'll have your back," said Ron.
"Cheer up, Hagrid! We are all looking forward to your magical creature protection class tomorrow!" Alan felt that the best way to cheer up a frustrated person was to find something for him to do.
Tears streamed from the crow's feet of Hagrid's small, dark eyes, "After this happened, you're still looking forward to my class—woo—"
