The Bard at Hogwarts

Time goes by day by day.

Although some young wizards may not notice it, Ino really feels the passing of time.

The most obvious manifestation is the pumpkins planted by Hagrid behind the house. When school started, they were just pumpkin vines, but now the largest ones have grown to the size of a car.

The pumpkins are ripe, which means Halloween is approaching.

Ino sat in the pumpkin field, leaning against the huge pumpkin, stroking Yaya's dog head while looking up at the blue sky.

The story in the past has long been unrecognizable after adding him as a variable.

Sirius was finally vindicated, and the sky in the third year was less gloomy and low, and there were no terrifying Dementors.

Of course, Sirius's vindication was inevitable in the newspapers, but Fudge cleverly seized the opportunity and made a strong presence.

The most important point is that when Sirius was arrested, Fudge was not yet a minister, and the entire arrest and imprisonment process was handled by Barty Crouch, then director of the Law Enforcement Department.

And Fudge became a hero who found an innocent person, and the newspaper he gave to Sirius was said to be a door key.

With extreme flattery, Fudge not only restored his previous reputation, but also had a faint reputation of being fair and honest.

Of course, this also had a lot to do with Sirius's lack of rebuttal. After all, many people thought that not rebutting was a disguised acquiescence.

"Another compromise deal..."

Ino murmured and looked at the sky. He didn't care about Sirius, but rather cared more about Peter.

He died suddenly the next day after being imprisoned in Azkaban. Not only was there no wound on his body, but he also showed a strange smile of relief when he died.

Anyone with a discerning eye could tell who was responsible for this kind of death, but the amazing thing was that no one stood up to point it out. After all, offending the potion master for a dead person, anyone with a little bit of reason would not do this.

Without Peter, there would be no tragedy of Cedric next year, and Voldemort would not be resurrected in the story of the Goblet of Fire.

This is a good thing. Although the potential danger has not disappeared, it also gives Harry time to grow up.

Similarly, Ino also plans to visit Sirius during the Christmas holiday this year, and solve the Horcruxes in the old Gaunt house, which can be regarded as a minefield clearing for Dumbledore in advance.

With the old headmaster in charge, there will probably be no chaos in the next few decades.

The most important point is that as he deepens his study during this period, he wants to see the legendary Deathly Hallows-the Resurrection Stone.

Not to look at it in his hands, but to look at it under the oil lamp.

As for the curse of the black magic on the Resurrection Stone, Fide has not eaten for a long time.

"Woof!" Yaya barked shortly, and Ino's thoughts were also pulled back to the present.

Turning his head, he saw Hagrid outside the hut, walking towards this side with a smile on his face.

"Ino, come and see, I successfully cultivated a new variety."

"New variety?" Hearing this, Ino also became interested. After two months, he finally saw some results.

"Yes!" Hagrid's tone was full of a sense of accomplishment, "After hybridizing with the little devil, a kind of eight-eyed giant spider with wings but can't fly."

Grow wings but can't fly, is it to be used as a decoration?

In an instant, the expectation just now had been reduced by more than half, but in order not to dampen Hagrid's enthusiasm, he could only say approvingly:

"This is really magical! If everything is stable, Hagrid, your name will appear in newspapers all over the world."

This is true. If a new magical animal is hybridized, Hagrid's name will definitely go down in history, especially a species with extremely high economic value such as the eight-eyed giant spider.

"Hehe, I didn't think too much, I just like this kind of work!" Hagrid smiled innocently, and at the same time stretched out his hand to scratch his messy hair, like a child who was suddenly praised and felt a little uncomfortable.

"It's good to like it. Any achievement comes from the initial love." Ino stood up and walked towards the hut. He was also curious about the effect of this spider that can't fly.

The two walked one after the other, and Yaya squatted outside the hut loyally to stand guard.

...

In the box of traceless extension.

In a fence surrounded by branches, Ino saw the legendary winged spiders, palm-sized spiders, with a pair of wings similar to bats on their backs.

"Just a decoration?" Ino used his magic wand to fiddle with the disproportionate small wings on the spider's back.

"Not exactly, their wings can move!" Hagrid said a little embarrassed.

"It doesn't matter if it's just a decoration. They are still small now, and you can't see anything else. When they grow up a little bit, you should be able to find the difference."

Ino looked at Hagrid comfortingly. After all, it was a hybrid product, so naturally it would not only change in size.

Whether it is venom or spider silk, these important things cannot be seen in infancy. Even if nothing changes, as long as they have a good personality and look beautiful, they can be regarded as alternative pets. In short, they are all valuable.

With Ino's explanation, Hagrid gradually regained his confidence, especially after hearing that the eight-eyed giant spider could become a legal pet, his pair of beetle-like dark eyes flashed with unprecedented light.

Perhaps, the words "legal pet" have become Hagrid's obsession.

After carefully looking at the new species of eight-eyed giant spider, the two left the suitcase.

…

In the hut, Hagrid lit the stove, placed an aluminum kettle on top, and poured two handfuls of black tea into it.

After doing all this, he slowly walked over with two plates of rough-looking rock biscuits.

"I know you may not be used to it, but I only have these as a treat here." Hagrid said apologetically.

No one is stupid. How he takes it out and takes it back every time shows a lot of problems.

"It doesn't matter, as long as the idea comes to mind." Ino chuckled and looked at the rock cake on the table.

"Hagrid, seriously! You can take it easy now and wait until those little guys grow up. If it's not ideal, start the next experiment."

"I know!" Hagrid nodded, and then said helplessly: "Sometimes I can't control myself. I always want to come up with something as soon as possible."

"It's nothing, it's the same with me!" Ino said with deep understanding.

Recently, he has also been busy studying ancient runes. He has transcribed a dozen letters in the Snake Slough Notebook, or he has made a dozen alchemical talismans.

And while the two were chatting, Yaya's barking came from outside the door again.

Hagrid quickly stood up and hid the suitcase under the bed, then walked to the door as if nothing had happened.

"Hagrid! We're here to see you!"

A familiar voice sounded from outside the door, and as Hagrid opened the door, a flash of fiery red hair came into view.
