Hogwarts Gymnastics Professor

Chapter 11 Hagrid
The first day at Hogwarts was the only day that Lockhart had truly belonged to since he traveled through the two months.

There is no system prompts, no messy ears, no practice magic to reply to fan letters.

Sleep when you are full, and eat when you wake up. Einstein called this kind of life the ideal of a pigsty, but there is one thing to say, this kind of life is a lot of fun.

It's cool to be salted fish for a while, but it's hard to be happy all the time, especially when you have a speechless system and Voldemort Horcrux on you.

Therefore, Lockhart did not go on salting fish all the time, he needed to make some preliminary preparations for the follow-up research on Tom Riddle's diary.

At least master Occlumency to avoid Tom Riddle Legilimency knowing his biggest secret in the diary.

"Peppa, I need to borrow some books from the Hogwarts library. Is the library open during the holidays?"

Lockhart directly asked the house elf who was packing up the tableware.

The house elf Peppa stopped what she was doing, turned around and lowered her head and said:

"Sir, the librarian Mrs. Pince is not in the library during the holidays, so the library is closed, but Hagrid, the warden of the Forbidden Forest, keeps the key to the library. You can find him."

"Thank you, Paige." Lockhart replied casually.

"It's my honor, do you need me to lead the way for you?" the house elf Peppa replied nervously.

"No need for Peppa. Although I have been away from Hogwarts for many years, I still haven't forgotten the way to the Forbidden Forest. Besides, I don't need to bring lunch to my office at noon today. I have to go out."

"Okay sir." Then, Peppa the house elf apparated out of Lockhart's office with the packed tableware.

The morning sunshine in Scotland in August is warm but not too hot. The strong winds in the past few days have blown away all the clouds. The sky is clear and the wind is light and pleasant. Today is a good day to go out.

Lockhart carried the iron box containing Riddle's diary with him, packed his clothes, took his wand and set off for the Forbidden Forest.

In addition, he also brought a black cloak as a gift for the first visit. This is a habit of maintaining the human setting some time ago, and it is also a basic courtesy.

Rubeus Hagrid, a half-blood giant, was expelled from Hogwarts when he was 15 years old and was framed by Voldemort for releasing a monster in the Chamber of Secrets to kill Myrtle.

Dumbledore defended him and took him in as Hogwarts' key administrator and gamekeeper. Therefore, he became Dumbledore's loyal loyalist and was deeply trusted by Dumbledore. In the original book, he was responsible for keeping Harry Get to Hogwarts.

Recalling some information about Hagrid, Lockhart walked to the edge of the Forbidden Forest without knowing it, and saw the "Hagrid's hut" mentioned in the book.

Now, Lockhart is very sure that the so-called "hut" is only for Hagrid. From his point of view, it is clearly a big house with a height of more than five meters and a length and width of more than ten meters. Bring a chair that is also big enough.

There was a huge rock on the side, and some small red animals were crawling around on the rock. Lockhart recognized them as fire crabs, and Hagrid was squatting on the ground to tease these fire crabs.

The tails of these fire crabs occasionally emit some sparks. It seems that the violent snails in the future should be the hybrid descendants of these fire crabs.

Boom boom boom! "Lockhart knocked on the big chair by the door, which caught Hagrid's attention. Only then did Hagrid realize that someone was coming, and stood up, ready to see who it was.

Hagrid who stood up gave Lockhart a strong sense of oppression. Affected by the movie, Lockhart always felt that Hagrid was about two meters tall, so this Hagrid in front of him really surprised him.

The 1.8-meter-five Lockhart was barely the same height as Hagrid's waist, and he had to look up to see Hagrid's face clearly. Lockhart speculated that Hagrid's height should be around [-] meters.

No wonder in the original book, Hagrid thinks that many dangerous animals are cute. For such a giant, looking at tigers is like ordinary people looking at cats with golden gradient.

Considering that Hagrid's father is said to be a relatively short wizard, and his mother is a purebred giant taller than Hagrid, Lockhart can't help but feel sincere admiration, a real warrior, dare to...

"Who are you? This is the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts, you are not allowed to enter at will!" The half-blood giant opened his big mouth, and a huge voice came out from his weed-like beard, interrupting Luo Hart's cranky thoughts.

"Hello, I'm Gilderoy Lockhart, the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor. I'm here to look for Hagrid, the gamekeeper at Hogwarts. I need some help."

"Hello professor, I am Rubeus Hagrid, the gamekeeper of Hogwarts, welcome to Hogwarts, how can I help you?"

After learning that Lockhart was the new professor, Hagrid's attitude became respectful and gentle, and his voice became quieter.

"Nice to meet you, Hagrid. First visit. This... this handkerchief is given to you as a gift. It's not a respect. I hope you like it."

Lockhart originally wanted to talk about this cloak, but seeing Hagrid's huge size, he swallowed half of what he said and changed it to this handkerchief.

Hagrid seemed to like the handkerchief that was originally a cloak, or he was naturally enthusiastic. After Lockhart explained his purpose for coming, Hagrid readily agreed.

He also invited Lockhart to come and see the fire crabs.

"Look at these cuties." Hagrid picked up a fire crab and stroked it lovingly.

The fire crab may have had some stress response to external stimuli, and directly sprayed a large cloud of sparks from its tail and hit Hagrid's hand.

The rough-skinned Hagrid didn't respond, but said to Lockhart, "Look at these cuties, how energetic they are."

"Are you sure it's not the firepower?" Lockhart looked at the fire crab that was constantly spewing sparks on the stone and complained secretly in his heart.

At this time, he noticed that the claws of these fire crabs were all gray and white metal.

"Why are their pliers all gray and white in color?" Lockhart directly asked Hagrid, who was straightforward.

Hagrid explained:
"Fire crabs are magical creatures that like to fight very much. They usually use their pincers to fight to determine their status."

"Some time ago, a fire crab's pincers were pinched off. I replaced the metal pincers for this poor little fellow."

"As a result, this little villain used metal pliers to pinch off all the other cute pliers. As a last resort, I had to replace all the poor little ones with these metal pliers."

All fire crabs were injured, so they had to afford heavier metal pincers, but since all fire crabs had metal pincers, there was still no change in their situation and status.

Unexpectedly, the world of magical creatures is involved, even to the cyberpunk stage.Lockhart is a good guy in his heart.

It was already noon after watching these fire crabs, Hagrid warmly invited Lockhart to stay and have dinner together.

Lockhart also happened to be a little bored by the four meals a day in the Hogwarts cafeteria, from breakfast to supper, of all kinds of potato chips, potato cubes, and mashed potatoes, so he happily agreed.

Twenty minutes later, Lockhart, who hadn't bitten into Hagrid's Rock Crackers for a long time, felt a little complicated.

Don't get me wrong, he didn't feel sorry for himself, he felt sorry for Voldemort.

Voldemort spent his whole life looking for a way to live forever. For this reason, he made seven Horcruxes and tried his best to find hard treasures as the carrier of his own soul.

He found the Slytherin locket, Hufflepuff's gold cup, Ravenclaw's crown and other treasures that only existed in legends.He believes these things are indestructible as the protective shell of his soul.

But if Voldemort didn't frame Hagrid at the beginning, but became friends with Hagrid, then the enthusiastic Hagrid would definitely make rock cakes for him.

And once Voldemort tried Hagrid's rock cakes, he would understand that there are thousands of hard things in the world, and there is nothing better than Hagrid's rock cakes.

Blaming Hagrid for killing Myrtle was perhaps Voldemort's biggest mistake.

Missing a friend like Hagrid must be Voldemort's greatest regret in his life.

Sometimes, we try our best to search all over the world, only to find when we look back, the real goal is right in front of us.

People always tend to think wildly when they encounter unsolvable difficulties. Facing the rock cake in front of him, Lockhart became a philosopher.
