All things are three at Hogwarts

Near the Forbidden Forest, Alan, who used the toilet to escape from the turbulent Quidditch pitch, said goodbye to his eldest brother and stood under a tree, leaning on the trunk and looking at the blue sky. He was waiting for Penelope to come out so that he could go to Hagrid. Sending the spider corpse, but something to his surprise was that he saw two witches walking in the distance, angrily Penello walked behind, and the light-blond witch in front of her jumped up and down. Jumped over.

Penello stood in front of Allen with her arms folded. She raised her eyebrows upwards but grinned down to suppress her annoyance: "Professor McGonagall went crazy and chased her away. The crazy girl saw me and asked me for help... I had to bring her here.”

"Professor McGonagall seemed very angry at my question, so I told her that maybe I should change the question and ask the girls who should she save first if their father and lover fell into the river to balance... As soon as I finished speaking, she became even more anxious and started to chase her away. I...she doesn’t want me to touch the microphone.”

"Fortunately, dad didn't come...Where are Emily and the others?"

"My sister and the other colleges have their own celebrations, so Mrs. Harris and the others will go back by themselves first... Professor Snape didn't expect to get another Quidditch Cup this year, and seems to have allowed them to use the common room as they please."

The three of them walked along the path towards Hagrid's gamekeeper's cabin. In front of a messy field of carrots and artichokes with scattered leaves, Penello leaned down to look at the almost heart-shaped footprints walking on the soil.

"Why was that vegetable patch so trampled? What kind of animal broke in?"

"Goat's footprints." Penello had finished judging the footprints and stood up and said.

"I didn't even know there were goats in the Forbidden Forest." Allen looked at the huge carrot fragments scattered on the ground. "In addition to being good at animals, Hagrid is actually quite talented in growing vegetables. Maybe he used herbal medicine back then. Did you do well in class?"

After walking a few more steps, they arrived in front of Hagrid's cabin on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. The three of them walked to the door. In front of the door were a stone bow and a pair of rubber galoshes. A high shelf was erected in front of the door to the left, and a wooden frame hung upside down on the shelf. There was a sheepskin, a goat's head placed under the shelf, and there were scattered wool and dried blood on the ground. It seemed that the culprit had paid the price for his crimes.

Penello took two steps forward, walked around them, and knocked on the door.

Yaya's cry immediately sounded, "Who is it?" Hagrid's thick voice sounded, "Is it Harry?"

The wooden door opened with a creak.

"Miss Crevat?!" Hagrid, whose hands were covered with blood, looked at Penello in surprise as he knocked on the door. He recognized this former Ravenclaw student and now a famous female Auror in the Ministry of Magic.

Hagrid's heart suddenly lifted, and then he glanced at his bleeding hands and quickly put them on his back. He seemed to realize that this would make it easier for people to misunderstand the dry explanation as being a sheep, and then he glared cautiously. He looked at the female Auror like a bean.

At this time, Allen and Luna came out from behind Penello. They said hello to Hagrid, and Hagrid relaxed his tense body.

"Hagrid, there is something I want to tell you, but let's not talk at the door, right?" Alan said in a playful tone, "Isn't it possible that you killed something other than a sheep?"

"Ah, of course not! Come in quickly." When Hagrid heard Allen's words, he realized that he had blocked the guests outside the door, and quickly stepped out of the door to let Allen and the others in.

The three of them crossed the threshold. In one corner of the cabin was a king-sized bed, covered with a quilt made of patchwork rags. On the other side, the fire was crackling happily, and in front of the fire was an equally huge bed. There is a wooden table and wooden chairs, and a large pile of cured hams and dead birds hanging from the ceiling above the fire. In modern times, except for himself, the gamekeeper's hunting grounds seem to have not been used by young wizards at Hogwarts. Pass.

There was a huge wooden tub on the floor containing the slaughtered mutton, and on the huge wooden table there was a wooden board with a goat skeleton that had not yet been disassembled.

Hagrid found a large rag and wiped the table vigorously, then placed a large teapot on the table, made tea for them, and brought ferret sandwiches.

"Did you just come back from the Quidditch match? I heard enthusiastic cheers..." Hagrid moved the big wooden board on the table. "This goat made it impossible for me to watch the game. It broke into the vegetable garden and was killed by me. Caught, I have to take care of it... Hey Yaya, go away, this is not for you to eat... Uh, who won the game? "

"Sorry Hagrid, I just ate a lot on the court and I'm not hungry yet..." Alan said after politely declining Hagrid's sandwich, "Emily caught the Golden Snitch and Slytherin won."

"Did you come to me this time to use another magical creature in teaching?" Hagrid sat on the chair and spread his huge palms. "Many students have already returned the Flobber's Armyworm to me, but more They actually came to apologize to me and said that they killed the armyworm they were assigned... I didn’t even know that the students cared about it so much..."

Luna's light silver eyes glanced from the window. Suddenly, her expression was startled. Just now, a figure of long black hair flashed past the window in the distance. Penello noticed Luna's expression and quickly stood up and walked to the window. , but found nothing.

"What did you two see?"

"I guess some brave little wizard broke into the Forbidden Forest again."

"Since Sirius and his class, more and more people like to break into the Forbidden Forest..."

"It's said to be a forbidden forest, but no one seems to have ever really regarded it as a forbidden forest... Forget Hagrid, let's talk about something serious... About Aragog..." As soon as Allen mentioned Aragog, he was surprised to find the man in front of him. The big man looked frightened.

Hagrid's face was pale and his whole body was shaking. He wiped his forehead with his sleeve: "You can just take me away. Don't cause trouble for Dumbledore. He has no idea about this matter."

The appearance of the hybrid giant confused Allen and the female Auror for a moment, and Allen quickly focused his attention on the hybrid giant.

Hagrid rubbed his big palm-like hands together and said in a dull voice: "You must have known for a long time that I broke the law. The Acromantulas that appeared during the battle in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic were the Ministry of Magic. Let’s go back.”

"Acromantula eggs are clearly classified as Class A non-trade goods by the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. This does mean that the import or sale of Acromantula eggs will be severely punished, regardless of whether they are raised into adults." Penet Luo memorized the Ministry of Magic's regulations for shopping, and then sarcastically said angrily, "But if I want to arrest you, it will be Josephine..."

Big drops of tears fell on his unkempt beard. Hagrid interrupted Penelope's sarcasm by twitching and started thinking to himself: "I broke the law! I shouldn't have raised Aragog secretly! Let alone It’s time to put it in the Forbidden Forest!”

Allen already knew what the other party was worried about, and he tried to persuade him helplessly: "Hagrid... we are not..."

"I found some bones in their lair... But it wasn't Aragog's fault. He didn't kill anyone! He promised me that he wouldn't hurt humans..." Hagrid emphasized a few words and then started wailing, "It's just that it Their descendants are not bound by this promise...the bones and remnants suggest they are Muggle..."

Hearing Hagrid's words of surrendering without asking, Alan was a little bit dumbfounded. He put his hand on Penello, comforting the female Auror who was about to take action.

"Actually, according to the literal theory of wizard law, if you release it and it doesn't kill someone, you have no responsibility..." Seeing Hagrid feeling so guilty, Allen didn't intend to really arrest Hagrid, so he had to do something. The three views were not correct and he found a reason to appease Hagrid, "Just like the natural selection of the weak and the strong in nature, this is the law of nature... To Muggles, this place is a deep mountain and old forest, and the habits of the Acromantula are Nor will they hunt outside their territory... Most of the Muggles who can come here are those who like adventure and wild survival enthusiasts... They must have understood the possibility of encountering ferocious beasts..."

"They didn't tell me about this..." Penello realized that Allen was unwilling to delve deeper and put her anger on the Acromantulas she managed, planning to go back and conduct a thorough review.

"But... you're not here to catch me?" Hagrid opened his palms wider to reveal his face, and then started crying again, "I killed people! Merlin, I've done everything. What!"

"...So you have to be more careful when choosing pets in the future. Some things cannot hurt you or may not cause fatal harm to you, but for little wizards and Muggles...well, this is why other people in the Umbrella Company I have been trying to teach you these concepts, and you have been much better recently than in previous years..." Allen patted Hagrid's thick arm and comforted: "Don't worry Hagrid, we are not here to arrest you... We are here this time I came here to tell you that Aragog died of old age...er, I mean died...We brought his body back to you. I think you will be happy to bury it, after all...As an Acromantula, Pei and I Nello is sure that it has indeed resisted its own nature and fulfilled its promise to you, although it is a little indulgent in its own offspring..."

Hagrid's sobs that had begun to weaken and become intermittent suddenly stopped. This obituary and Aragog's promise made the hybrid giant let out an almost beast-like wail, murmuring Aragog's name.

"I'm hungry." Luna's light voice suddenly sounded, making the noisy scene quiet.

Everyone followed her gaze and saw that it was the pot of mutton that Hagrid had dismantled.

"The magazine I read from Qiuzhang's hometown had a recipe for mutton stew."

Penello's eyes wandered around Luna, and she rolled her eyes in displeasure. Just when she was about to criticize Luna for not understanding the atmosphere of the conversation, she was a little jealous when she heard Alan say in a somewhat embarrassed tone: "Hagrid, I need to get some mutton from you."

Author's note: Today is the winter solstice. I wanted to arrange a mutton-eating plot in this chapter many days ago, but as I was writing it, I realized that I had calculated an extra chapter, and I couldn't bear to delete the entire chapter, leaving it to be It wasn’t until the point of eating mutton that I started cooking mutton...but at least it was mentioned in this chapter to suit the occasion.
