Hogwarts Melting Ice Journey

The three of them looked at each other, hesitating whether to go in and take a look.

"Stephen, I think we should leave Merula alone and see what she does." Rowan thought it was best not to go in.

"Oh, I think it's very dangerous inside. It's best to stay away from that room." Ben agreed with Rowan very much.

"If there is really danger inside, I think we should go and help her, otherwise something might happen to her." Stephen felt that he still needed to go in and take a look at the situation, otherwise if something happened to Merula, Snape would definitely think They did it.

"Stephen, her parents are Death Eaters."

"Rowan, my brother is also a Death Eater. We can't judge her because of her family." Stephen got out from under Ben's shoulder and walked to the key storage room door. He pushed hard, only to find that I can't push it away.

"Rowan, come here and help. The door seems to be blocked." Stephen tried again. He found that his strength was too weak, but together with Rowan, the two of them could not push the door open. "Damn, What did Merula do in there?”

"Oh, little guys, what are you doing here?" A strong voice appeared, it was Rubeus Hagrid.

"Hagrid, Merula screamed after she went in, but we couldn't open the door." Of course Stephen knew Hagrid, but Hagrid definitely didn't know him.

"Why did a student go in?" Hagrid looked very nervous. "There is a devil's net that Professor Sprout entrusted me to take care of. We have to open this door quickly."

Stephen and the three of them had no time to think about why Hagrid would put such dangerous things in the storage room. What they wanted most now was to push the door open.

Hagrid took their place and pushed the door open with a hard push. The plant vines in the storage room also came out to "welcome" him.

"Luminescent Flash" Stephen waved his magic wand and forced the devil's net back into the room, "We have to get in quickly."

The four people entered the room and found that the entire room was covered with devil's nets. Merula was using fluorescent flashes to push back the devil's nets that were approaching her, but there were too many of them, so she could only ensure that she would not be entangled, but she could not come out.

"Ah" while she wasn't paying attention, a vine wrapped around her ankle and hung her up. Merula was caught off guard and failed to grasp the wand, and was quickly entangled in the devil's net.

"Merula, don't struggle," Rowan yelled, "The more you struggle, the tighter it becomes. Fluorescence flashes."

Ben also used fluorescent flashes, and the three of them used the strong light of their wands to push back the approaching vines. However, the space in the room was really small in this situation, and the effect of pushing back was not obvious.

Hagrid took his umbrella in his hand, and Stephen gently pulled Hagrid's sleeve. He knew that Hagrid's umbrella was actually a wand. But if Hagrid used it here, it would expose his illegal activities.

"Maximize Lumos" With the spell, his wand emits light that fills the entire room, and the devil's web shrinks rapidly.

"Oh" Merula fell to the ground in an unsightly posture.

"Oh, little one, are you okay?" Hagrid hurriedly walked forward to check on her condition.

"I don't need you to worry about it." Merula stood up and shook off Hagrid's hand, looking at Stephen and the other three: "Stephen, don't think that I will be grateful to you just because you saved me, hum."

Merula stormed out of the safekeeping room, perhaps because she felt angry because she was saved by her rival.

"Stephen, just say don't save her, look at her appearance." Rowan was a little dissatisfied, "Good intentions are not rewarded."

"Rowan, don't say that. If you don't save her, Hagrid will be in trouble." Stephen looked at Hagrid, "Hagrid, it is very dangerous to put the devil's net in the school."

"I couldn't find a good place to put these plants, so I put them here first. I thought no one would get in if they were locked." Hagrid felt a little uncomfortable.

"That's generally true, but this is a wizarding school." Stephen shrugged. "It's inevitable that there will be some fools who want to take risks everywhere, like Miss Snyder. As for the place, I think you should ask Principal Dumbledore. , he will help you find a place to place these devil's nets."

"Oh, Stephen, you're right. But I don't know if Professor Dumbledore is in his office."

"Then we can go to Professor McGonagall first. She should know if Principal Dumbledore is in the office." Stephen looked at Rowan and Ben again, "Rowan, take Ben to Madam Pomfrey first and let her check Next book. Ben, I’m sorry for bringing you into this.”

"Oh, Stephen, I think it's okay. Even though it's dangerous, I think I should help you, you are my friends." Ben shook his head, "But I think I really need to go to Madam Pomfrey. I feel My whole body is shaking.”

Stephen and Hagrid came to Professor McGonagall's office and briefly explained their purpose.

"Stephen, your suggestion is very good. Devil's net should not be placed in the school. It is too dangerous." McGonagall nodded. "Professor Dumbledore should be in the office now. The password to enter is Zizi Honey Candy." .”

The two came to Dumbledore's office again, and the stone statue stopped them: "Password"

"Zizi honey candy."

Entering the office, Dumbledore looked at Stephen with a smile: "I already know what happened. Stephen, your suggestions are indeed very good. I think I should add five points to your behavior and suggestions."

Stephen thought that Dumbledore might have been monitoring various activities in the school. He said nothing to himself, and was not surprised that Dumbledore knew what was going on.

"Hagrid, although Miss Snyder was wrong to enter the key room without permission, you really shouldn't have put the devil's net there. You know, little wizards are always curious. I hope this It allows you to learn some experience.”

Hagrid nodded uncomfortably, indicating that he understood.

"I think the Forbidden Forest should be a good place. After all, the school has repeatedly stated that students are not allowed to approach there casually. The magical animals there will avoid the devil's net on their own. But I think we need insurance, and we need someone to patrol there, so I have decided to appoint Mr. Rubeus Hagrid as the new Hogwarts Gamekeeper, while continuing to serve as Keeper of Keys."

"Then how is Hagrid's salary calculated?" Stephen asked.

"Um..." Dumbledore was stunned for a moment. He hadn't thought about the salary issue yet, but he quickly realized, "Of course, one job comes with one salary. The more work you do, the more you get."

It's not like he spends money anyway, he just pays whatever he wants.

"Okay, Hagrid, I think you can put the devil's net in the Forbidden Forest first. After all, the sooner the better. I will ask Mr. Filch to post an announcement later. As for Mr. Tony, I think We can talk about your brother." Dumbledore looked at Stephen with a smile.
