Chapter 737

In a word, Hagrid has been a professor of the protection of magical creatures in Hogwarts for several years, but he is more used to living in some dark and sloppy hunting grounds than the clean and tidy office in the castle.

If he wants to ask the reason, he may be more in order to take care of his precious magical creatures at any time, but he can't keep it together because he misses Dumbledore.

The kindness Dumbledore gave him was enough to keep in mind all his life.

"Professor Hagrid, I'm really sorry to bother you to accompany me so late today. Tomorrow is Monday. If you need to prepare for tomorrow's lecture, you don't have to worry about my existence. I'll just sit here and read by the light."

In the past, few people would come to Hagrid's cabin, especially after midnight. Even Harry and others who often came to visit would come only in case of something.

Today, however, there is one more person in the hunting ground cabin than usual.

"It's all right with me, Mr. LeMay."

Hagrid gave up the only sofa and chair in the cabin to each other, and sat down on several wooden barrels close together, which had no sense of conflict with his body.

"I don't usually prepare lessons very much. I only need to seriously consider a few days when selecting new animals..." Hagrid took a sip of hot tea and then said, "on the premise of ensuring practicality, you should choose what students will be interested in, not what you are interested in. - that's what Maka told me at the beginning."

He said, and then put his hand the size of a garbage can lid, but said, "it seems that everyone thinks those little guys I like are more... Um, more grumpy? Oh, I can't describe them well, because I think they are very cute..."

"Really?" the old housekeeper said curiously, "what kind of 'little guy' do you like?"

"That's more --"

Hagrid was particularly excited when he talked about these topics.

"... for example, the lobbyist Myra! I helped the trainer of the Greek rare animal reserve take care of a female during the top three competition. Seriously, the little girl... Is so exciting!"

"Oh, the top three?"

For Hagrid's "bold" remarks, the old housekeeper's expression seemed to be a little subtle.

"That sounds really good..."

"Of course, it's really good," Hagrid was saying. As for the other party's feelings, he had long been thrown out of the clouds. "It's a pity if you could see it with your own eyes - in this age, Kemira is not easy to find!"

"Well, I heard that only a few regions in the world can find their whereabouts, and only the Greek rare animal reserve as the origin has raised two independently." the old housekeeper reluctantly agreed.

"Yes, yes, I didn't expect you to know a lot! It seems that you must like them too -" Hagrid nodded happily. "But you must not know how it feels to really touch them. Alas... The waist, the leg and the twisting force are really..."

When one of the two people in the room talked passionately and the other was obviously at a loss, a figure suddenly came to the window on one side of the hut.

The figure came so quietly that neither of the two people in the room was aware of it.

……

At the same time, outside the hunting house.

"Waist and legs? What are you talking about?" the old witch standing by the window listened and frowned slightly. "Well, no matter what you're talking about, at least the goal is to find... I didn't expect him to hide here."

It seemed that she had tried to find a circle in the castle before she came, but she didn't find it.

"But it's more convenient here. I'll take it away... At least it's much easier than in the castle." the old witch thought to herself, "it's just that Professor ruber Hagrid seems to have giant blood. You need to pay more attention when you start later."

After a little deliberation, she looked around again to make sure there was no one else nearby.

However, at first, Maka just told me that the vestibule had long been emptied by Professor McGonagall. At this moment, it seems that it happened to give her enough space.

After another careful confirmation, the old witch left here first and hurried straight to the gate of the school.

It is necessary for a qualified planner to make a good retreat before taking action. Compared with the strange warning magic over the school, the gate has become a more appropriate breakthrough.

The magic used for the warning was originally the effect of the rune array set by Maka himself. It can be opened and closed only in the principal's office.

This was what he made after the repeated attacks on Hogwarts at that time. It was originally used to deal with Voldemort and greenward. It was not something he could deal with casually.

The old witch in the African magic world not only has high confidence in magic, but also believes that she is smart enough in these details.

This keen insight is one of the experiences that have supported her to come to this day safely in her life.

However, the defensive spell set on the school gate has always been written by Professor flavy, and naturally it is not so easy to crack.

Therefore, the old witch had to spend a lot of time at the school gate in order to clean up her retreat as quietly as possible.

But just as she stayed near the school gate, another figure had come to the place she had left - near Hagrid's cabin.

In that room, Hagrid and the old housekeeper seemed to continue chatting, and Hagrid was as excited as before.

"One is Professor Hagrid, and who is the other?"

Now it is Ernst, who was still on the top of the astronomical tower. Yes, he came alone, while Alexander remained on top and closely watched the situation here.

They both discussed that if Alexander found something unusual below, or if Ernst gestured to him, he would run directly to the professors to report the situation.

"Well... Whoever it is, it should only be a guest on Hagrid's side," said Ernst as he listened. "So, is it really just that I'm too suspicious?"

As he thought so, he looked back at the top of the astronomical tower and glanced, but he found that Alexander above was waving to him. After finding him looking up, he stretched his arm straight towards the school gate.

"What does... Mean?"

For a moment, Ernst didn't want to understand. He looked at the dark school gate under the night, and looked at the little figure of Alexander with the starry sky as the background, wondering whether the other party wanted him to check at the school gate.

"Is there any other suspicious figure over there?"

He subconsciously took a few steps aside, trying to find an angle to see more clearly, but unexpectedly, a careless man kicked a broken broom in the corner.

In this sudden accident, Ernst still kept a certain vigilance. He moved very quickly, but hurriedly stretched out his hand and grabbed the broom handle in his hand.

Unfortunately, the other end of the broom hit the wall with a click. In this quiet night, the sound was particularly clear.

At the next moment, the sleeping hound in the room barked loudly - the timid guy was awakened by such a little noise!

"Bang!"

In the past, Hagrid had been a game keeper at Hogwarts for 50 years. Even now, he has consciously taken care of the job.

If the old witch sneaked nearby like before, he might not be able to detect it, but once a sound fell into his ears, his action would be faster than the frightened unicorn.

Here, Ernst is still secretly depressed about his small mistake, and the door of the hunting ground cabin has been opened from inside. And Hagrid leaned out of the room at once.

"You're Hufflepuff's... Enns Taron? Why are you here so late!"

"Well, I just saw a suspicious guy on the astronomical tower."

For Hagrid's question, Ernst had to answer honestly - he didn't want to add a bad record to his head!

"That should be the one from the African delegation... Er, the old witch with a skeleton crutch."

"Oh?"

Hagrid immediately lowered his voice when he heard it, and then hurried out, grabbed Ernst's arm and walked back to the cabin.

"Don't mention your running around at night. In short, come first and keep quiet."

Having said that, Ernst was forcibly dragged into the hunting house by Hagrid, and then the wooden door closed again. At the top of the astronomical tower, Alexander, who saw this scene, was confused and had to watch it.

……

In fact, the series of movements were discovered by the old witch at the school gate.

Although Hagrid's cabin is a little away from the school gate, as I said before, the Hogwarts vestibule at night is too quiet.

Any unnatural sound can be heard far away, even near the school gate.

Originally, the old witch was still trying to break the spell with some means of alchemy. When she found that the situation had changed, she resolutely chose to return to investigate the specific situation.

In order to ensure her own safety, she immediately raised her skeleton staff and waved it gently in the direction of the forbidden forest.

It was with such a wave that she heard a sudden sound on the edge of the forbidden forest. It was the sound of something rubbing against the bushes.

The moon hid behind the clouds again, and the vestibule of Hogwarts Castle seemed more and more hazy.
