time at hogwarts
56. Simple wooden house
"Magos, Ron and I are going to Hagrid's place this afternoon, do you want to go together?" Harry said suddenly while he was eating.
When he said this, Magos realized that he seemed to have not been to Hagrid since arriving at Hogwarts.It was also time to gain some reputation with Hagrid, so he no longer refused and nodded.
"Hermione, are you coming with me?"
"No, I just borrowed a book from the library today. If I don't read it quickly and return it tomorrow, it will be difficult to borrow a book from Mrs. Pince next time." Hermione returned regretfully.
"What a pity, it was just the three of us who went together that night."
"To be honest, I can't figure out why the school would let Mrs. Pince be the librarian. She basically treats us as thieves or something like that. Borrowing books from her is as difficult as borrowing books from Peeves." Walk past." Ron complained subconsciously after hearing Hermione's words.
"You guys are okay. Since the last time I went there, whenever I dare to walk in front of the library, Mrs. Pingsi stares at me with the eyes of an enemy. Let alone borrowing books, I don't even have access to the library now. Can not enter."
"You deserve it. You said something so outrageous last time." Hermione had no sympathy for Magos's experience at all.Harry and the others also knew what happened last time, and they laughed all of a sudden.
"Why are you laughing? What I said is right. But this is not the solution. I have to find a way to stop her from targeting me." He put down his knife and fork and held his chin with one hand.
"McGoss, please stop doing something outrageous. If you continue to provoke Mrs. Pince, I guess it will be difficult for us Gryffindors to borrow books from the library in the future." Hermione said nervously Looking at the thoughtful Magos.
"Okay, okay, I'm not a fool. I was wondering if I should give her something to help her relieve her feelings for me."
"McGos, I think if you have time to think about this, you might as well think about other things." These ruthless words actually came from Harry.
"Hey, I don't believe it yet. Just wait, I will definitely find a way to change her attitude towards me."
"As long as you don't do those weird things, we'll see." Ron replied casually.Hermione simply ignored the conversation, thinking that Magos was dreaming.
"By the way Ron, I suddenly remembered a question."
"what is the problem?"
"Isn't your brother Bill working in Africa? What are the things in the Egyptian pyramids? Are they really the tombs of the pharaohs like the Muggle legends say?" His words attracted the friends who were eating around him. Come over.
"To be honest, I don't know much. Bill rarely talks to us about his work. It seems that there are some things in Africa that need to be kept secret." Looking at the disappointed looks of the people around him, he smiled proudly, "But, I You still know a little bit. What Muggles say is true, but what they don’t know is that the main builders of the pyramids are wizards.”
"wizard?"
"Yes, otherwise do you think they can build so many pyramids? The wizards over there seem to have several reasons for building pyramids. The simplest ones are residences, laboratories and the like." As he spoke, he suddenly lowered his voice and said mysteriously : "It is said that some pyramids are actually magic items. As long as there is strong magic power, they can be controlled. Its power can even kill gods. Of course, this is just a legend."
"The legend has no basis at all." Hermione glanced at him disdainfully.Ron pouted and ignored her.
Everyone became interested in the wizards in Africa and kept asking Ron about Africa. He was only half-experienced. He had only visited a few times and was soon left speechless by the questions.
"Is your family planning to go to Africa this Christmas holiday?"
"Oh, no, I mean, I'm probably going to stay in school."
"That's a pity. If you plan to go to Africa next time, remember to take me with you."
"No problem. Harry and Hermione too. I'll be sure to call you."
"Thank you." Harry said happily.Hermione also glanced at him in surprise and thanked him in a low voice.
"Okay, now that we've eaten, let's go to Hagrid's place early."
"Goodbye, Hermione."
"Goodbye."
The three of them left the castle and walked on the fields outside the school.
"Actually, I think the school should offer some outdoor courses." McGoss said with emotion as he looked at the endless scenery.
"Outdoor classes? Organize games for us?" Harry looked at him puzzled.
"Games? Are you kidding? There is no way that wizard schools will offer any game courses." Ron exclaimed in disbelief.
"No, not what Harry thought was an outing interaction or anything like that."
"What is that?" Harry asked in confusion. According to his experience in attending a Muggle school, the so-called outdoor courses were when the teacher led the students to play games.
"Eh, it's hard to explain. Just think of it as an adventure, like Hagrid taking senior students to the Forbidden Forest during this time."
"What kind of adventure is that in these fields?" Ron muttered, and Magos didn't explain. He was perfecting his idea.
"Harry, have you ever played computer games?"
"Computer games? What are computer games? Muggle games?" Ron was always curious about things in the Muggle world. It is worth mentioning that the walkie-talkie brought by McGoss for communication has been broken by him for two years. indivual.
"Ron, that's not a game
, Computers are a very advanced thing in the Muggle world.Magos, why are you asking? I have never played it, but I have seen Dudley play it. "
"Nothing, I'm just curious. How about I give you a computer for Christmas this year?"
"Okay, okay." Harry stopped Ron, whose eyes were shining brightly.
"Magos, that's too expensive, and we don't have any use for Muggle stuff."
"Maybe." He smiled and neither said he would not send it nor insisted on sending it.
Harry felt that he couldn't understand Magos's idea. Since he was here to learn magic, why did he have to bring in things from the Muggle world? It had no effect at all, except of course the wizard battle he invented, which was very interesting.As they crossed the fields and approached the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid's cabin appeared in front of them.
"Okay, here we are."
The place where Hagrid lived was not big, but he built a larger circle with a fence. Entering the fence, Magos saw some items that he might need placed outside the door, including a stone bow as tall as an adult and a stone bow that was larger than the door. A large thick wooden board, he guessed, might be his shield. Not far away were some very old crop-growing tools, as well as some oversized clothes and the like. Next to it, there might be crops he planted, and some Corn-like plants grow very well.
Harry walked up to the wooden door, which was as tall as the three of them, and knocked.
The bearded Hagrid first opened a small slit for him to take a look at them.
"Hi Harry, hi Ron, you brought new friends."
"Hi, Hagrid."*2.
"Hello, Hagrid, I'm Magos Will. Please forgive me for taking the liberty of visiting."
"Oh no, you don't have to be so polite. I know you. I noticed it when we got out of the car. Harry and the others often talked about you, Magos and Hermione, saying that you are all very smart." Hagrid opened the door completely.
A huge dog stuck its head out from behind him, staring at Magos fiercely with its fangs exposed.
"Hey, Fang, shut up, this is a new friend." Hagrid patted the dog's head.
"Don't be afraid of Magos, Fang will be very friendly." Ron smiled and walked up and touched its head.Yaya looked very happy, and immediately knocked Ron down and licked his face hard.
"Oh, it's really friendly." Magos and Harry covered their mouths and laughed.
"Get down, Yaya, get down quickly, I'll be angry if you keep doing this." Ron pushed Yaya angrily.
Yaya whined and ran away.Ron stood up with a face and wiped the saliva from his face with his hands.
"It stinks."
"Hahaha."
Magos smiled and took a look inside. The wooden house was very simple and small. It couldn't even be called a house. It was just a wooden room. It was a little messy inside. There was a ceiling above the head, with hams and hams hanging on it. Some cooked food such as pheasants and wild ducks, and there is a burning brazier in the middle of the room, which is the only source of light here.There was a copper kettle boiling water on the brazier. There was a large bed in the corner with a quilt made of rags.
"Hagrid, the conditions here are really bad. Why didn't Hogwarts even give you a decent quilt?" Seeing this, Magos was sincerely aggrieved for Hagrid. He knew from the movies and novels that the conditions here were not good. OK, but when you actually see it, it's unbelievable how shabby it is.
"Oh, thank you, Magos. You are such a good boy." Hagrid's voice choked up after hearing his words.
Harry and Ron were a little embarrassed. As Hagrid's best friends, they had not noticed this. They both stood up to express their anger at the treatment at Hogwarts and wanted to complain to the principal.
Huge tears fell from Hagrid's big eyes, and he hugged the three of them hard, "You are all good children. I am content to stay in Hogwarts. I have made some unforgivable mistakes." , I brought it upon myself, you cannot trouble Principal Dumbledore with these things."
"Ha...Hagrid...you...can you...let go first, I...we will listen...to you." Harry's face turned red from the pain.
"Oh, sorry, sorry, I was really touched. I didn't mean to." Hagrid looked down and saw three cooked crab faces and quickly let go, apologizing repeatedly.
"It's okay, Hagrid. What mistake did you make that allowed you to accept this kind of punishment voluntarily?" Harry asked in confusion after regaining his breath.
"Don't ask me, Harry, don't ask me, I don't want to think about that thing anymore." Hagrid covered his face and cried bitterly.
"Okay, okay, we won't ask anymore, Hagrid."
"Thank you." Hagrid said lowly.
"By the way, Hagrid, why did you come to us today?" Ron quickly distracted Hagrid after seeing that he was in a better mood.
"Oh, by the way, I invited you over for afternoon tea today, sorry." As he said that, he took out four very large cups from the table in another corner.I put some leaves and other things from unknown plants in, picked up a boiling copper kettle, brewed it, and handed it to them.
"Thank you, Hagrid. Are those inside tea leaves?" Magos asked, looking at the dense leaves inside.
"Of course, I picked this from the Forbidden Forest. It is very good. Dumbledore often comes over and asks me for some. He said that this stuff can stabilize magic power, but I have never felt it." Hagrid seemed to be impressed by Dumbledore. Bledo was puzzled that he would make such a stupid mistake.
"Oh, I want to have a good taste of this. Thank you very much for your hospitality."
"You're welcome, you can like it. Here, have some food." Hagrid happily placed a piece of rock biscuit in front of them.
When he said this, Magos realized that he seemed to have not been to Hagrid since arriving at Hogwarts.It was also time to gain some reputation with Hagrid, so he no longer refused and nodded.
"Hermione, are you coming with me?"
"No, I just borrowed a book from the library today. If I don't read it quickly and return it tomorrow, it will be difficult to borrow a book from Mrs. Pince next time." Hermione returned regretfully.
