Hogwarts 1991

Chapter 328 Hagrid's Situation

"professor!"

Harry yelled in panic.

He didn't know how to face this serious and rigid professor.

Professor McGonagall ignored her. She strode over with her mouth tightly shut, staring at the torn and blood-stained clothing on McGuffin.

Anger in the eyes, helplessness, worry... all kinds of emotions flowed by.

Finally, he said wearily to Madam Pomfrey, "Bobby, Albert is alright!"

"He lost a lot of blood, but I have already healed the wound, and given the little wizard a blood-replenishing potion... nothing serious has happened. It just seems that he must rest well for the past two days, at least tonight, he must stay here."

"By the way, Harry?! That wound on Albert... looks like it was attacked by some kind of raptor?"

Madam Pomfrey asked suddenly as she spoke, staring at Harry suspiciously.

Harry opened his mouth, facing Professor McGonagall's stern gaze, which made him extremely nervous.

What's more, recalling the scene just now still made him a little scared, and he didn't know how to explain all this to Professor McGonagall.

At this time, a strong wind blew outside, bringing with it the unique smell of dampness and freshness after the rain.

Professor McGonagall frowned, waved his wand, and closed the platform formed by the window and the wall, restoring it to its original appearance.

"Let's go outside and talk!"

"Don't disturb the rest of the little wizard!"

After Madam Pomfrey covered McGuffin with a sheet, she, Professor McGonagall and Harry came outside the school infirmary.

Harry began to stutter and explain to Professor McGonagall what happened in Hagrid's class and everything he knew.

He just said that LS Malfoy tore off the hippogriff Buckbeak's beautiful tail feathers with a spell, causing the hippogriff to lose control.I heard Professor McGonagall say coldly, with a very unpleasant tone.

"An old problem?"

With Professor McGonagall's slight reminder, a different memory also churned in Harry's mind, and he remembered—it was a new memory related to DeLS Malfoy.

In the first grade, DeLS Malfoy followed them to the magic level, also because of that problem.

Now De LS Malfoy, when she sees glittering and beautiful things, she wants to keep them for herself.

——Isn't this on par with McGuffin's two Nixie pets, Garen and Sick?
"What else?" Professor McGonagall then said coldly.

"……Um?"

"She messed with MacGuffin Albert... This little wizard is not such an easy guy! What happened next..."

Professor McGonagall said.

"Yes! This little wizard has lost too much blood. If he just rushed over after being hurt, it wouldn't be so serious."

Madam Pomfrey added a knife.

Under the watchful eyes of the two professors, Harry's legs trembled a little, and he explained dryly: ...McGuffin used a magic spell to teach Buckbeak and De LS a lesson, and then came to the infirmary with himself on the Hippogriff.

"Where's Hagrid Ruburt? What's he doing..."

"You should be taking a course on the protection of magical animals! Why did he take you to see this dangerous magical animal?"

Professor McGonagall noticed this immediately, and then questioned Harry loudly, with a very dissatisfied tone.

Harry didn't speak.

The terrible truth sank like a stone to his heart.

After a few minutes, he began to try to explain to Hagrid, "Professor, but Hagrid has something to do... other Slytherin students are also making trouble, and he warned us to be careful, it's the reason of DeLS... if it wasn't for her..."

"Yes, LS Malfoy should indeed be punished, her troubles... I will speak to Professor Snape and Lucius Malfoy myself."

"But after all this happened, Hagrid actually let another little wizard take action to punish another little wizard in private... This is absolutely unacceptable."

Professor McGonagall's tone was very strong.

It made Harry even more frustrated, because he also felt that what Professor McGonagall said was completely correct, and there was no way to justify it.

——Hagrid should have stopped McGuffin immediately, and even brought him back to the infirmary.

And they should have rushed over as soon as they found out about this... But the scene of McGuffin's anger at that time...

To be honest, that totally freaked Harry out.

He, Hermione, and Ron froze in place, and after a while, they reacted and went to stop McGuffin.

Harry tried his best to give an explanation that he also thought was very shameful, "But... that's McGuffin Albert! I... It's hard for us to stop him..."

But Harry didn't expect this sentence to move Professor McGonagall.

"Indeed! This is MacGuffin Albert!"

There was an expression of helplessness and deep agreement with this sentence on her face.

At this time, Hagrid and the others finally rushed over, with a frustrated and anxious expression on his face, he brought Hermione, Ron and a large group of people hurried over.

The corridor immediately became chaotic and noisy, echoing their heavy footsteps and gasping voices.

The sudden scene in front of him made Professor McGonagall frown even more.

……

At dinner time, Harry and the three of them came to the auditorium early.

LS Malfoy was nowhere to be seen at the Slytherin table, and neither was Hagrid.

But the rest of the people were very enthusiastic, especially the little wizards who had seen Harry flying around the castle on his hippogriff.

They greeted each other enthusiastically and walked around as if they wanted to find out some new and interesting news from Harry.

For all of this, not only Harry, Hermione... even Ron, who has always been keen on traditional Hogwarts arts, was not interested.

They hastily dealt with the students who came over for various reasons.

There was Ernie and Justin who came to inquire about the news with a curious face; there was also Colin who pestered him and wanted Harry to tell Harry what it was like to ride Buckbeak the Hippogriff; and Percy who pretended to teach them the rules of Hogwarts...

When the pleasantries were over, Harry and the others finally found an undisturbed vacant seat at the end of the Gryffindor table
Several people sat at the dining table, but no one was in the mood to speak. (Although the steak and kidney pudding in front of me is very tempting and delicious)
They discussed going to Hagrid for a while.

"The upper management of Hogwarts will not fire Hagrid, right?" Hermione asked anxiously, she just drank the honey syrup with a very depressed expression on her face.

"It's hard to say...Professor McGonagall didn't pay much attention to McGuffin's injury."

"The main reason is that after that, Hagrid didn't stop McGuffin from teaching De LS... It's a big loss of performance!" Harry said after thinking about recalling Professor McGonagall's expression.

"What's the point! That idiot De LS is the culprit!" Ron shouted angrily.

"Except for those criminals identified by the Ministry of Magic, Hogwarts has never officially expelled a professor!"

"They usually give the punishment of probation, like Professor Kettleburn in the Protection of Magical Creatures class last time... Didn't he cause the Halloween volcanic bug incident, which caused a professor to be seriously injured and unable to continue the class, and a dozen students were injured to varying degrees... He just got a punishment of probation."

"Hagrid's situation is nothing in comparison...he shouldn't be fired!"

Hermione reluctantly came to another conclusion, but it sounded like she was convincing herself.

"It's the thing about the expansion curse! I heard from Charlie that it is said that that incident has greatly changed Professor Kettleburn's personality... Otherwise, he could almost take a bath with the fire dragon..." Ron also remembered that he had heard about it.

"It does sound like Hagrid's style... No wonder the professor recommended Hagrid to take his place!" Harry suddenly realized.

"Harry! Harry!"

The twins came running from Jordan Lee with sandwiches in their mouths, bouncing up and down.

Truth be told, the twins have a knack for making any scene happy and joyful as long as they are there.

"McGuffin is all right!"

"Of course it will be fine, Madam Pomfrey can sew up the wound in about a second," Harry said, but he understood that the twins didn't simply want to ask about the status of the MacGuffin.

"That's good... We heard from Simone that the idiot De LS was taught a lesson. If you do it..."

Fred said.

"Forget it, let's not say more, the most important thing is...Harry, buddy, we saw you this afternoon, you can be found there this afternoon on that hippogriff...it looks interesting!"

"It's nothing... nothing! By the way, we still have something to do..." Harry hurriedly pulled Ron and Hermione and the others out of the restaurant.

Judging from what these two guys said, they actually wanted to ride the Hippogriff... At this time, it's better not to make trouble for Hagrid.

After dinner, they came to Hagrid's hut.

The door is not closed.

As soon as they entered they could smell...

The house smells of alcohol.

Hagrid seemed to have drowned himself in a wine barrel.

There are two glass lampshades hanging below the two large stuffed beasts on the wall of the hut, and orange fire is dancing inside.

Harry and the others saw Hagrid, who was wearing an old shirt and sitting next to a wooden table with a big wine glass like a bucket.

Inside the glass was a dark green, gurgling, frothy thing.

There was a herbal smell in it, very strong, and Hagrid poured it into his mouth mouthful, his beard was stained with wine.

The hound Yaya whimpered and wailed, shaking his tail vigorously, as if feeling the same.

"Hagrid stop drinking!" Harry urged.

"I'm afraid this is the last drink I'll drink at Hogwarts!"

"It's a new record... I'm afraid it's the first time you've seen a teacher who's only been there for a day!" Hagrid lisps.

"And I'm afraid I will be kicked out of Hogwarts..." He said sadly, took out a handkerchief that looked like several pieces of cloth were stitched together, and squeezed his nose hard.

--Ok!

It sounded like he was crying.

"No! Hagrid...McGuffin is not that kind of person, he won't get into this matter!"

Ron hurriedly said, "What's more, didn't Madam Pomfrey cured him in one go?"

"Yes, Pomfrey's spell is the best... McGuffin won't report me... But I'm not qualified to be a teacher, and this happened to me for the first time in class! I'm not qualified..."

Hagrid took another big gulp and slammed the 'barrel' on the table. He babbled and repeated words that no one could understand.

"Professor McGonagall thinks so too... As you can see, as the vice-principal, she has determined that I have not fulfilled my duties as a teacher... I not only failed to protect McGuffin, but also failed to stop the conflicts among little wizards..."

It took Hermione a long time to realize what Hagrid was saying, she hesitated for a moment, then said firmly and sincerely.

"Hagrid, you've had enough, listen to me..."

"It's actually not your fault...Professor McGonagall thinks so too."

Hagrid immediately wanted to open his bright black eyes like a small beetle. He shook his head and opened his eyelids several times, trying to wake himself up.

"I can probably guess what Professor McGonagall is thinking... She may think that the reason for all this should be attributed to McGuffin!"

"Ah!" Harry and Ron were about to swallow the word.

"what!"

"Hermione, what do you mean!"

"Have you ever heard the Hogwarts legend about the MacGuffin?"

"That 'extremely evil' legend..." Hermione lowered her voice, whispering as if she was afraid of hearing something, "——since McGuffin came to Hogwarts, there have been accidents in this castle, and most of them are related to him...he always makes all kinds of troubles!"

"What! Hermione you!" Ron didn't expect Hermione to believe such a thing.

"It's true! The subject assigned by our math divination course professor is to count the various injuries and secondary injuries caused by MacGuffin Albert in school... I found that 80.00% of the things are directly or indirectly related to McGuffin."

"Professor McGonagall also knows about this matter or said that this statement came from her... Although I feel embarrassed about McGuffin, it is the truth and an undeniable fact. In short, she will not blame you for it, Hagrid!"

"But you can't drink first!" Hermione took the big wine glass from Hagrid's hand, and poured the wine directly outside.Then when he came back, he was directly turned into a croaking toad.

"Yes! Don't worry, Hagrid, we'll have your back."

"I've heard this legend too, and Hermione is right...not to mention, Hagrid! You can't let other people see you like this now."

Regardless of whether Hermione said that this argument was well-founded or outrageous to the extreme, Ron and Harry quickly continued the topic.

It made Hagrid burst into tears from his eyes.

He hugged the three of them tightly, sobbing and unable to speak, almost breaking their bones.

"Okay, you're right!"

Hagrid pulled himself together and went outside to wash his head in water.

This made him wake up immediately.

Then he realized that Harry was still wandering around outside the castle. After reprimanding him, he immediately sent the little wizards back to the castle.
