The Ancient Wizards of Hogwarts

Chapter 48 Hagrid, you don’t want to either...

As a house elf, Korn is not good at fighting.

In other words, all house elves are not good at fighting, and they hardly know any offensive magic.

On the contrary, they are extremely good at any magic related to household chores, and the same is true for Apparating.

So the teleportation process went quite smoothly. They disappeared from the kitchen and appeared in the open space outside Hagrid's hut the next moment.

The only problem was that when Ash looked around, he immediately saw Hagrid coming back with a lantern.

Hagrid moved the lantern closer to see Ash's appearance clearly, and shouted with wide eyes:

"Ash? What are you doing here? And a house elf? Don't tell me you apparated here? Merlin's beard! Dumbledore will be angry!"

Ash did not answer Hagrid's question, but asked:

"Hagrid, what are you doing here? Aren't you supposed to be patrolling the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid didn't answer 'This is my home, why can't I be here?', the upright giant said worriedly:

"It's those werewolves! They didn't know they went crazy, and suddenly killed a dozen trolls, and they all ran to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. I'm a little worried that they will attack Hogwarts, and I have to remind the professors quickly! Also! You, Ash, you have to get back to Hogwarts!"

"I won't talk to other professors about what happened today, but you have to go back quickly, it's not safe here."

Ash's expression moved slightly and he immediately said:

"No, Hagrid, you don't have to do that."

"Why?" Hagrid asked puzzledly.

Ash explained simply:

"Trust me, she means no harm."

"she?"

Hagrid didn't turn around for a while, but soon his eyes widened:

"You mean those werewolves?!"

"No, how do you know about these werewolves? Did Dumbledore tell you?"

"That's not right! Did you do the death of those giant monsters?"

Although Hagrid was upright, he was not stupid. He guessed the truth of the matter almost instantly, which was a bit unbelievable.

Ash is only in first grade!

Merlin on top! How can a first-year student be so good at making things?

Ash did not deny it, just said:

"Hagrid, I want you to keep my secret."

Hagrid seriously refused:

"No! These werewolves are too dangerous!"

"When Dumbledore wanted to put them in the Forbidden Forest, I was firmly against it!"

"Ash, you have to understand that they are not as simple as you think. They are a group of cunning creatures and they are taking advantage of you! You don't understand what you are doing!"

Hagrid is well aware of the dangers of these werewolves!

You know, although Dumbledore put werewolves in the Forbidden Forest, he also deliberately controlled their population. Therefore, all the wolves that can be released into the Forbidden Forest are female wolves, and there are no male wolves. This is to prevent them from continuing to reproduce and destroy the balance in the Forbidden Forest.

These creatures with human intelligence can definitely cause far greater damage than other creatures in the Forbidden Forest!

How could Hagrid not take it seriously?

"I know exactly what I'm doing."

Ash knew that words alone could not convince Hagrid, so he changed his words:

"Hagrid, everyone has their own secrets, don't they? You don't want your secret cultivation of dangerous magical animals to be discovered, do you?"

Hagrid's eyes widened even more and he said in disbelief:

"How did you know I had a Thunderbird egg?"

"..."

Ash's expression was a little subtle, he was actually referring to the eight-eyed spiders in the forest. But he didn't say it clearly, because theoretically he didn't know, so he used the ambiguous term "magical beasts" to make people think that he was deceiving Hagrid.

But I didn’t expect Hagrid to be so upright.

Ash took advantage of the situation and said:

"I will keep this secret for you, and it's only fair that you should keep it secret for me, right?"

"..."

Hagrid fell silent, his expression a little tangled.

On the one hand, he doesn't want to give up the Thunderbird he finally got, but the werewolf is too dangerous. What if it hurts the students?

He hesitated for a long time before finally struggling and said:

"I can help you keep a secret, but you have to take me to see them first. I have to make sure they are as safe as you say."

Ash agreed without hesitation:

"Okay, let's go there now."

As a half-giant, Hagrid is good at everything, but his brain is not very flexible.

If it were Ash in this situation, he would probably choose to threaten him in return - what I lost was an egg, what you lost was an entire harem, who of us should be afraid of whom?

The giant wolves were hiding in the forest on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. When Ash appeared, they scrambled out of the forest.

Setsuna, who was covered in snow-white hair, took the lead and was the first to jump in front of Ash, circling around him excitedly.

Seeing this scene, Hagrid was extremely nervous. He was holding an oil lamp in one hand and holding a small pink umbrella tightly in the other hand.

The silver-gray giant wolf finally came out of the forest and came to Ash slowly and gracefully.

Ash stretched out his hand to Bai Zi, who bowed her head gracefully and let the former touch her cheek.

"This this……"

Hagrid was stunned and pointed at Ash for a long time without saying a complete sentence.

Merlin on top! What did he see? ! This group of werewolves who had just slaughtered a dozen trolls not long ago were as docile as puppies in front of Ash! Could it be that he made a mistake? These aren't actually werewolves, but huskies?

But where in the world can such a big husky come from? And he had just seen them next to the corpse of the troll.

How could it be wrong!

Hagrid could hardly help but want to ask:

"How did you do it?"

But he restrained himself. He shouldn't explore other people's secrets casually.

"Shirako, Setsuna."

Ash petted the two big dogs for a while, then pointed to the half-giant behind him and said:

"This is Hagrid. He is the guard and inspector of the Forbidden Forest. You must live in peace and do not harm him. Do you understand?"

Setsuna nodded obediently, Bai Zi glanced at Hagrid and nodded slightly.

Ash looked at Hagrid and warned:

"Hagrid, you too, don't hurt them."

Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then gritted his teeth and said:

"As long as they don't try to leave the Forbidden Forest."

As long as they don't leave the Forbidden Forest, he doesn't care what these werewolves want!

"This is Cohen."

Ash pointed at the house elf again and said:

"From now on, he will be responsible for delivering food to you every day, right here, three times a day."

"Well, if there's not enough food, you can ask Cohen to deliver a few more."

Ash paused, looked at Cohen, and asked:

"Is that okay? Cohen."

"Of course no problem! Mr. Black!"

Cohen was not afraid at all, but said excitedly:

"Cohen it would be my pleasure to serve you, it would be my pleasure!"

PS: Let me explain.

Many readers are impatient about 'Dumbledore's Temptation', but I have actually told the answer to this point in the previous chapters - whether Dumbledore did it or not, the protagonist thinks so. of.

High emotional intelligence: be cautious.

Low emotional intelligence: guilty conscience.

To put it bluntly, the protagonist killed too many people, and also conducted large-scale human experiments under Hogwarts, killing thousands of wizards.

If it's not discovered, then nothing happens. The problem is that the protagonist finally loses it because of the experiment.

So when the protagonist sees Dumbledore, his first reaction is that something has happened to him and is going to be bad.

Then I discovered that Snape and Dumbledore were quite friendly, and I knew that not all of what I had done was exposed. But it is impossible for such a big thing not to be exposed.

The protagonist doesn't know how much has been exposed, so he feels that Dumbledore has been testing, just to know whether what happened underground has anything to do with him.

So it should be fairly clear, right?

But my own writing was too bad, I didn’t point out the details thoroughly, and stretched it out too much. As a result, it failed to achieve the intended effect, and it had the opposite effect.

Therefore, some modifications have been made to the previous article.

There are no changes to the plot, only cumbersome parts of the plot have been deleted.

Forgive me.
