v4 Chapter 154： Rita Skeeter

Rita Skeeter, the unreliable Rita Skeeter, Chapter 154, Days of Drawing at Hogwarts

​​

Suspension was undoubtedly a bad thing for Hagrid and the little wizard who knew him well, but for ordinary students, things didn't seem so bad. Dumbledore found a substitute professor for the Protection of Magical Creatures class immediately, and did not delay the students' teaching.

​​

The new professor, Wilmina Grapland, is a witch with short gray hair and a protruding chin. She dresses like Professor Sprout, but has a personality like McGonagall.

​​

Professor Grapland was obviously dissatisfied with the laziness of the students after the Christmas break.

​​

"The bell has been ringing for five minutes!" She pointed to the watch on her hand with a serious expression. And the little wizards who trudged deep and shallow in the snow showed a surprised look.

​​

"Who are you?" Ron's eyes widened.

​​

"I'm Wilmina Graplan," she replied succinctly: "Substitute teacher for the Conservation of Magical Creatures class."

​​

Except for the necessary information, her mouth was very tight, and she was reluctant to say anything, which made Harry gradually anxious.

​​

For Harry's anxiety, Professor Grapland saw it in his eyes, but he had no intention of explaining it to him. In her opinion, even if Harry knew the reason for Hagrid's suspension, it would not help Hagrid. At this time, what Hagrid needed was not a chattering little wizard, but someone like Dumbledore who had the right to speak in the magical world.

​​

More importantly, it's class time!

​​

So she ignored Harry and led the students towards the stable. She believed that the magical beasts that she had worked so hard to invite today would definitely be able to "conquer" these little wizards.

​​

Beauxbatons' giant Pegasus were snuggling up in the stable to keep warm, and Professor Glapland had added some whiskey to their trough before class, and by the way added a brand new bag of charcoal to the charcoal fire outside, so these horses The days are not too hard.

​​

Not far from the stables is the edge of the forbidden forest, and under a big tree is a beautiful adult unicorn. This unicorn is dazzling white, and the surrounding snow looks dark against it. Seeing a large group of strangers approaching, it scratched the ground with its hoofs a little uneasy, and raised its head.

​​

"so beautiful!"

​​

"nice!"

​​

"How did the professor get it? It is said that it is difficult to even see a unicorn..."

​​

Professor Grapland told the boys to step back and let the girls touch it first - unicorns like girls' petting, and are hostile to men.

​​

This was exactly what Harry wanted. He immediately retreated to the periphery of the crowd and started talking with Ron.

​​

"What did you say happened to Hagrid? It can't be him with Lady Maxime—" Harry remembered the famous scene he and Ron had seen on Christmas night, and a very absurd thought came to his mind. But it's not an impossible idea.

​​

What if, he meant, what if Hagrid eloped with Madame Maxime?

​​

This is not impossible! Overwhelmed by love, a professor and a principal pigeon his students together...

​​

After Ron heard this, he put on a "I don't understand but was shocked" expression. He felt that nothing was more outrageous than this, but after thinking about it, he thought it was possible: Hagrid and Madame Maxime are both half-blooded giants. Isn't it normal to cherish each other and attract each other, and spark some sparks together?

​​

On the Christmas party, they both went to the garden together - is there any couple who are not lovers?

​​

But looking at Harry, Ron suddenly realized that he seemed to be walking in the garden with Harry too...

Yawen Library

​​

Exactly, Harry grabbed Ron's forearm at this time, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on Ron's arm.

​​

Heterosexual! opposite sex! He immediately added a qualification to his idea.

​​

"Potter! I beseech you to be normal!" A familiar, sloppy voice called out, and Harry didn't even need to look back to know that it was his old nemesis Draco Malfoy speaking.

​​

Malfoy was in a bad mood recently, and he didn't even bother to trouble Harry, but he happened to hear Harry's words. There are so many flaws in this idea that Malfoy couldn't hold back his desire to complain.

​​

"Read more newspapers!" He slapped a newspaper in Harry's arms, and took Crabbe and Goyle to another place to talk.

​​

Harry thought that there was going to be a war of words, but he didn't expect Malfoy to leave after only a few words.

​​

Harry realized that as long as you run fast, you can only output without getting hit. It's a smart choice.

​​

Harry unfolded the newspaper in his arms, and saw Hagrid's photo and the bold and black headline [Dumbledore's Big Mistake]

​​

Harry and the surrounding Gryffindor wizards were dumbfounded.

​​

Now they knew why Hagrid didn't come to class - he might as well have eloped with Madame Maxime!

​​

The bad thing is that since he is in the newspaper, most people in the British wizarding world should know that Hagrid is a half-blood giant, because there are not many people like Harry who don't read newspapers.

​​

Harry read the report in the newspaper, his hands and feet were cold with anger, he wanted to catch up with Draco and have a theory with him, but was stopped by Ron.

​​

And Malfoy Theory doesn't make any sense, the priority is Hagrid's business.

​​

"According to the survey, the vast majority of students hate Hagrid or disagree with the content of his teaching." Harry pointed to a paragraph in the report and said angrily: "It's just a bunch of nonsense!"

​​

Angry Harry didn't notice the strange eyes of his comrades He stared viciously at Rita Skeeter's name in the newspaper, wishing to kill the woman who spoke out with his eyes.

​​

But soon, he found that Dean, Seamus, Neville and even Ron all fell silent.

​​

In the end, Ron said to Harry awkwardly: "Harry, actually I feel that what that old woman Rita said is really true..."

​​

Harry: ? ? ?

​​

"You look me in the eyes and say it again? Do you hate Hagrid?"

​​

"I hate it, but I don't hate it, but the focus is on the second half of the sentence. I disagree with his teaching method - Harry, don't tell me that you are very satisfied with Hagrid's teaching content."

​​

Harry was at a loss for words. Even if he and Hagrid are extremely close, there's no denying the fact that Hagrid's teachings are a bit out of place, especially after those blasted-tailed snails are over six feet long.

​​

If Rita used this language to conduct an interview, then the Hogwarts students' dissatisfaction with Hagrid should be 100%.

​​

Rita's "or" word allowed her to avoid the risk of spreading rumors, and she was completely unable to grasp the cause.
