The Mightiest Badger at Hogwarts

Hagrid's hut is actually a very good resting spot. When he was studying with Professor Kettleburn, Link always liked to sneak into Hagrid's hut to laze around, and this time he openly skipped class was no exception.

In any case, the heat preservation and anti-humidity charm is not as comfortable as a burning fire.

So Link lit the fireplace immediately after entering the hut, and then lifted the spell after the house was completely warm.

During this period, Link also looked at Hagrid's bed.

It turned out pretty well.

Ever since Madam Maxime showed up at Hogwarts, Hagrid has been extremely clean.

This is also reflected in his cabin.

Instead of having the weird smell and messy look that only belongs to a single man, his bed is incomparably neat and even exudes a unique fragrance of sunshine.

This is quite rare, after all, the weather outside has not cleared up for more than ten days.

So Link, who was already exhausted, got into the warm bed and fell asleep comfortably.

Unfortunately, such peaceful and comfortable time did not last long.

Link felt that he had just closed his eyes for a while before Arkham began to swim around his neck and licked his cheek with snake letters from time to time.

This is Arkham's early warning method.

Someone is approaching the cabin.

Link opened his eyes with some dissatisfaction, and happened to see Hagrid, dressed in snow and wind, entering the hut quietly.

There is also a huge hound following at his feet. In the past, this hound has always been the liveliest, but now he is holding his tail tightly with a look of fear on his face and whimpering. Non-stop.

It was terribly afraid of Arkham.

"Ha, ha, I'm sorry Link, I woke you up."

Seeing Link looking at him with an unkind expression, Hagrid scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly.

Link frowned and stood up, pulled Arkham off his neck, and then said dissatisfiedly:

"is get out of class over?"

"Not yet. But it doesn't matter, Cedric is watching for me. Those little guys will be fine." Hagrid stood at the door and wiped off the snow foam on his body, then moved to the fireplace and looked over from the side. A plate of brown biscuits shaped like flatbreads was taken out from a cabinet and handed to Link. He said earnestly, "Thank you so much this time, Link. If it weren't for you, I would definitely be kicked out of Hogwarts this time." !”

"I didn't do anything. The reason why you can stay is entirely because Dumbledore likes you. Don't belittle yourself."

Link said as he pushed the plate of cookies back to Hagrid.

He didn't like this kind of biscuits at all. Hagrid probably didn't use butter or eggs at all when making them, and the flour wasn't sifted either. As a result, the biscuits were so hard that even dogs wouldn't eat them.

Hagrid was not angry when he saw this, grinning and said mysteriously:

"I understand. I'm not stupid, so of course I understand. Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that you helped me after I go out. Otherwise, they will all go to you for help. Will you be too busy?"

After saying this, perhaps because he felt that his wisdom needed to be rewarded, Hagrid picked up a piece of biscuit from the plate and stuffed it into his mouth, biting it with a crunching sound that made people's teeth sore.

Link took a deep breath and then closed his eyes in pain.

It was not difficult for him to guess what Hagrid was thinking.

Hagrid had always felt that Link should be an almost omnipotent friend since Link helped him deal with Draco's injury lawsuit.

So after another crisis like that happened this time, it was natural to think that Link helped him again.

Hagrid was famous for his stubbornness at Hogwarts, and Link didn't have the patience to change his mind. He waved his arms twice to tell Hagrid to leave quickly so that he could continue to sleep.

But before the perfunctory words were spoken, Hagrid came over again and said mysteriously:

"Link, the second project you want to undertake is inside the Black Lake!"

"Ah, I already knew."

Link said expressionlessly. Hagrid was not surprised when he heard this. He rubbed his hands in excitement and said:

"Link, you know, I'm a rough guy and there's not much I can do to help you. But Black Lake is different."

At this point, Hagrid paused again and looked around nervously to make sure no one noticed before saying:

"I have a good relationship with a horse-shaped water monster in the Black Lake!"

As soon as these words came out, Link immediately became energetic.

The horse-shaped water monster is not necessarily horse-shaped.

They are a kind of water monster that is very good at camouflage. They are extremely large, comparable to large tiger sharks and small whales. They often appear in front of people in the form of horses, with broad-leaf cattails as manes, luring humans to ride on them, and then riding on them. It gets into the water and eats people, hence its name.

In fact, their favorite form is that of a water snake, which is very aggressive.

Link had seen detailed records of this creature in "Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them" written by Newt. It was said that Newt had raised a water monster when he was young.

Link has been interested in the Equestria ever since he read those records.

Because the horse-shaped water monster is really handsome!

"You mean it will let me ride it to the finish line?"

Link's eyes lit up.

"How is this possible? The horse-shaped water monster is a prouder existence than the Hippogriff. Unless you completely tame it, it will not let you ride it. Even I have never ridden it." Hagrid He shook his head and said, "What I mean is that it can help you drive away some mermaids and Grindylows during the game, so that you can feel more comfortable."

As he spoke, Hagrid handed a weird wooden whistle to Link and said, "When you get underwater, just blow this whistle and it will appear. Then you should give it some fish to eat. Don't just call it over. Don't give it food. This is a habit that took me 5 years to develop. If you don't give it food, it won't come out next time it hears the whistle.

In addition, I also gave Harry one of these whistles. You'd better walk together when the time comes, otherwise if the two whistles are blown at the same time, I'm afraid he won't be able to figure out which point to go to. "

"He will definitely come to my place."

Link held the whistle and made a decisive decision.

He is confident in his talent for magical creature affinity.

Hagrid obviously thought so too. Hearing this, he was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile:

"I think so too."

Since you have taken advantage of others, you cannot just drive them away casually.

So Link then accompanied Hagrid and chatted for a long time about the common emotional issue of Maxim being hot and cold towards him, and helped Hagrid come up with several ideas before sending the extremely excited Hagrid off.

"call!"

As soon as Hagrid left, Link stopped smiling, took a long breath, and covered his head with the quilt.

After chatting with someone for so long, he was more tired than before.

Arkham, the cold-blooded snake, also got into Link's bed.

Just now, this guy deliberately climbed on top of Hagrid's hound to scare people. He scared people into incontinence and at the same time used up all the calories he had accumulated. Now he was in urgent need of replenishing it.

However, it was as if even God could not stand Link's laziness.

Not long after Link lay down, Emily's pretty figure sneaked into the hut.

Emily looked at Link carefully and waited for a long time before cautiously approaching him. She reached out and wanted to poke Link to see if Link was really asleep.

But as soon as she made a move, another big hand came out from the quilt like lightning, and directly pulled most of Emily's body into the quilt.

"ah!"

Emily screamed, and a dark wand appeared in her hand.

However, after realizing that the person who 'attacked' her was Link, she silently put away her wand and pushed Link hard to prevent those two big hands from touching places they shouldn't go.

The two of them were fooling around in bed like this until Emily's cold body warmed up again and a blush appeared on her face before Link let go.

Emily jumped up from the bed like a frightened rabbit, fled to the door, and looked at Link in aggrieved horror.

Seeing her like this, Link chuckled and said:

"Okay, I won't eat you. That was just retaliation for you snitching on my mother. You really hurt me. My mother sent me a shouting letter that day!"

"Ah? Why is she like this!?" Emily screamed again, "I obviously just asked her to give you a little warning!"

Link didn't speak. He just pretended to be weak and coughed twice because of the pale color on his face caused by practicing black magic and consuming a lot of mental energy.

Then just as Link expected, Emily came over anxiously, touched Link's forehead and said anxiously:

"It's so hot! Are you sick? Oh, it's all my fault! The second project will start the day after tomorrow. What will happen if you don't recover by then!"

Link wanted to laugh a little. His body temperature was indeed a bit high at the moment, but this was definitely not due to illness, but due to previous strenuous activities.

But he still pretended to be indifferent and said:

"It's okay, these are all minor problems. Don't blame yourself too much. I am also responsible for why things turned out like this."

When Link thought about it, he had said this, and Emily would definitely blame herself even more after hearing this.

However, the fact is that Emily put on a bad face in an instant, pinched Link lightly and said:

"Of course it's your problem! If you hadn't been like this, I wouldn't have complained!"

Emily deliberately blurred the word that made her embarrassed, and then seemed to feel that she was a little too harsh on Link, twirling her hair with her fingers and whimpering:

"You, don't be so anxious. Anyway, we will need it in the future. We will need that and so on. Then it will be whatever you want."

An evil smile appeared on Link's face involuntarily.

He didn't say anything, just looked at Emily.

After all, Emily, who used to keep strangers away from Slytherins in the past, is really looking good at acting like a little girl.

But Link's gaze was too invasive.

In just a short while, the blush on Emily's cheeks spread to her entire neck.

She pouted, hummed and gave Link a final slap, then got up and ran out of the house.

"Hey! Where are you going? Come back quickly!"

Link, who hadn't seen enough, shouted hurriedly.

However, Emily still didn't look back. It was a long time before Link heard the other party's voice gradually disappearing.

"I don't have time to pay attention to you! I still have a lot of things to do. I'll have someone send you medicine later!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a warm gust of cold wind blew by, closing the door of the hut for Link and completely isolating Emily's voice from outside the house.

Link had no intention of chasing Emily. He stretched and continued to lie on the bed.

Unfortunately, after being teased by Hagrid and Emily in turn, he was completely sleepless now, and all he could think about was the second project.

As for what Emily was busy with, he could roughly guess it.

It was nothing more than the competition organizing committee finding her and wanting to hide her under the Black Lake as Link's most cherished treasure.

In this matter, the competition organizing committee should have forcibly kidnapped Emily, so as to show the reality of the entire project and put pressure on the warriors.

But Emily's identity is extraordinary, and her strength and intelligence are not comparable to those of other silly kids.

She should have guessed the competition organizing committee's plan.

Link estimated that Emily would have a thrilling 'battle' with the competition organizing committee in the next two days.

After the fight, the competition organizing committee should sign some unequal agreements, but in the end Emily will obediently run to the bottom of the Black Lake and wait for Link to rescue her.

After all, the competition organizing committee still has the trump card of substitution in the end.

If they turned around and really put Hermione under the Black Lake as Link's rescue target, Emily would be confused.

Shaking his head, Link forced himself not to think about Emily.

What he is really worried about now is that the competition organizing committee, which is actually chaired by the Ministry of Magic and Dumbledore, will not make more changes to the second project on the original basis to increase the difficulty of the project.

After all, the original project content was easy for an ordinary student like Harry, but it was too easy for a 'monster' like Link.

For Link, who owns Arkham, if he wants, he can let the other three players eat zero eggs and enjoy all the points for himself.

And in this case, this Triwizard Tournament will be meaningless.

In addition, the environment in Black Lake is really too responsible.

At present, the mysterious wizard, or the mysterious force, who secretly inserted Harry into the warrior team has not yet taken action.

If they choose to take action in the Black Lake, all the warriors, including Link, will not reap the rewards.

After sitting on the bed and thinking hard for a long time, Link finally took out the wooden whistle given by Hagrid.

He grabbed it in his hand and looked at it carefully, then murmured:

"It seems like I really have to rely on you this time."
