Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 191 Hagrid's new pet

At the end of the month, the rain that had lasted for several days stopped, and the sky finally began to clear up. The bright sunshine swept away everyone's gloomy mood these days. Recently, all the students who had been hiding in the castle came out for activities, and the energetic Weasley brothers even Is already playing with Lee Jordan together.

  Beside the hunting lodge, Hagrid was drying the moldy animal skins. Hearing the sound of footsteps walking in, he turned around and greeted the person who came: "Why do you look listless?"

   "It's probably because I've been in the castle for a long time, and the recent academic pressure is a bit heavy." Albert bent down, reached out and rubbed Yaya's dog's head, and took out the dog food prepared in advance to feed Yaya.

   "Look, what did I hear just now, you actually said that you have academic pressure?" Hagrid paused in the movement of his hands, his eyes widened.

  Hagrid still knows a little about Albert. The famous Hogwarts genius would actually say that he has academic pressure. It really is hell.

   "Yeah." Albert didn't say much, and shook the boomerang he made himself in front of Yaya, and then flung it out with all his strength.

  He came here this time to play with Yaya. Playing with pets can effectively relax his mood.

   "It's not like you. By the way, I just baked some biscuits. Would you like some?" Hagrid took out other stored things to dry.

   "Forget it, my teeth are not as good as yours." Albert refused dryly.

   "Is that really a pity?" Hagrid sat on the wooden chair, put the plate of small biscuits beside him, reached out to pick up one, and took a bite. The crisp biscuit sound could be heard even if it was far away.

   "You're asking too much of yourself."

   "Maybe." Albert took out a chocolate toffee from his robe pocket and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing slowly.

   Not long ago, Professor Broad wrote a letter of advice that is specific. He thinks that Albert should focus on one thing first, such as magic text, such as improving the protective bracelet.

   Albert understood what Professor Brod meant. The former Defense Against the Dark Arts professor actually wanted him to slow down. Sometimes, if you slow down, some obstacles will be overcome naturally.

  Actually, Albert himself knew why, he was too ambitious and encountered a situation similar to Hermione.

However, unlike Hermione, Albert has an external protective body, so the upper limit is actually very high, but the more he learns, and the alchemy, the energy is not enough, so he said that he has academic pressure .

  Actually, it was Albert himself who created the trouble for himself.

   This is the consequence of being too greedy.

   "By the way, did you cast a spell on that thing?"

  Seeing the boomerang that flew back automatically, Hagrid was very surprised.

   "Well, it's a kind of tracking spell." Albert didn't deny that there are actually many kinds of spells and usages in tracking spells, and the effect of the boomerang he made is to make it return to the owner.

  Of course, the effect of the spell is actually not strong. The boomerang will automatically spin around, and its effect is to pull it on this, so that the boomerang will return directly to Albert's hand.

   "A very clever spell!" Hagrid couldn't help but sigh with emotion, he himself really doesn't have much talent in magic.

  Albert’s expression was a bit weird. Last time Fred and George disappeared in the Forbidden Forest, he learned this spell on purpose. However, the shortcoming of the spell is that the distance is short, and it will fail if it is too far away.

  While the two were talking, Ya Ya came back after chasing the boomerang again. It didn't understand how it came back by itself.

  Albert raised his hand to touch Yaya, fed it some food, and then threw the boomerang, Yaya rushed out again, chasing it and ran away.

   "Hagrid, do you have a fishing rod?" Albert asked suddenly.

   "What do you want a fishing rod for?" Hagrid looked at Albert in puzzlement, "Are you going to fish?"

   "Um, relax," Albert said.

   "Relax, why don't you fly around the sky on a broomstick?" Hagrid asked suspiciously, "By the way, I heard from Charlie that you didn't join the Quidditch team."

   "I have a lot of things to do. Since I can't train with everyone, don't join the team." Albert said honestly, "Also, I go fishing mainly because I want to eat grilled fish."

   "So, are you going to catch one and roast it yourself?" Hagrid couldn't help but widen his eyes, unable to understand Albert's thinking.

   "My cooking skills are actually pretty good."

   "I have fresh beef here, do you want it?" Hagrid asked.

   "Your lunch?" Albert looked at Hagrid in surprise, but still refused, "If I eat it, what will you eat?"

   "You are such a small person, how much can you eat, and I have quite a few." Hagrid said nonchalantly. As he said that, he took Albert to see the beef. There were quite a lot of beef, but the appearance was really not good, and he didn't handle it properly. "

   "Can you eat so much by yourself?" Albert stared at the beef in the iron bucket and raised his eyebrows.

   "No, I'll eat some and feed the rest to the Forbidden Forest..." Hagrid stopped suddenly.

   "Hello what?" Albert asked curiously.

   "Dog." Hagrid seemed to strengthen his persuasiveness with a firm tone.

   "Dog, don't you have one?" As soon as Albert finished speaking, he heard the wooden door slam, as if something had hit the door.

  When Albert pushed open the door, he found that Fang was lying on the ground biting the boomerang, and it finally caught this cunning little thing.

  Because the wooden door was temporarily closed, the boomerang that Albert had forgotten hit the wooden door directly, and Yaya caught him.

"As expected of Fangya." Albert gave Fangya the dog food, tilted his head and looked at Hagrid and asked, "Isn't there one? Although a bit timid, Fangya is not bad! Besides, what you said Where's the dog?"

   "Killed in the Forbidden Forest," Hagrid said awkwardly.

   "Why is it kept in the Forbidden Forest?" Albert asked reflexively, but soon realized that there was a problem with this matter, and he suddenly repeated: "Dogs kept in the Forbidden Forest are dangerous?"

   "No, Lu Wei is not dangerous at all." Hagrid retorted in a panic.

   "Lu Wei?" Albert repeated. For some reason, he felt that the name was a little familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere.

   "Hagrid, I have reminded you more than once. What you say is not dangerous is just not dangerous to you." Albert reminded Hagrid again.

"Don't worry, I will always keep it in the Forbidden Forest, and will not let it appear in front of Hogwarts students." Hagrid comforted, he also knew that Albert had good intentions, and he followed his suggestion , so after careful consideration, Lu Wei was kept in the Forbidden Forest.

   "Okay!" Albert raised his eyebrows and said, "You don't mind taking me to see your new dog?"

   "This..." Hagrid hesitated.

   "Don't worry, I won't tell others." Albert comforted, "You know, I never talk nonsense."

   "Okay!" Hagrid finally nodded in agreement.

   "By the way, do you want roast beef?"

   "Why not? Just take advantage of this time to marinate." Albert took out his wand from his pocket, reached out to flip through the beef in the iron bucket, and selected a part that was more suitable for roasting.

   As he spoke, he turned his head and looked: "By the way, Hagrid, do you want it?"

"want."

Hagrid watched as Albert used the Cutting Charm to cut two pieces of beef from the top, then cut them in half again, put them in a large bowl, poured beer and some seasonings into it, and after a brief massage, covered them The lids are starting to marinate.

   "Is that all right?"

"How Muggles eat." Albert said without hesitation: "I always think that Muggles are better at cooking food than wizards. Don't rush to deny that Muggles know how to enjoy life better than wizards, even if the British cooking skills have always been better than wizards." Very...so-so."

  Albert went outside to fetch water to wash his hands, while Hagrid divided the beef into four portions, one portion was his food for today, and the other three portions were obviously food for his dog.

   "Three copies." Albert raised his eyebrows slightly, and finally remembered what Hagrid's new pet was.

   A few minutes later, Albert followed Hagrid who was carrying the iron bucket and walked towards the Forbidden Forest. Yaya, who was still eating beef, immediately swallowed the last piece of beef, and quickly followed behind the two of them.
