Chapter 635： Villain (1/2)

In the evening, while Hagrid was preparing dinner in the kitchen, an owl flew in from the window and threw a note on the table.

”Who sent it?”

Hagrid looked at the flying owl suspiciously, wiped his hand on his apron, picked up the note and opened it and glanced at it. He was stunned by the contents of the note.

Another attack occurred in Hogwarts Castle!

Hagrid raised his head and looked at the castle through the window, with anxiety and trepidation in his eyes.

This is definitely the worst news Hagrid has received in recent months, and the Muggle wizard who was attacked by the Slytherin heir is the Hermione Granger he knew.

To be honest, Hagrid liked this smart and kind girl. He had been at Hogwarts for so many years, and Hermione was one of the few students who had a good relationship with Hagrid.

After reading it, Hagrid threw the note into the fireplace and said to himself: ”Mandrake will be harvested for medicine soon. She will be fine, she will be fine.”

After half a year of silence, Slytherin's heir is now starting to move around again, which is undoubtedly bad news for Hagrid, and even worse according to Albert's statement. If the attack continues, it will be his turn to be unlucky next.

Even Hagrid had to admit that Albert's prediction was really accurate, and just a few hours after Hermione was attacked, an owl from the Ministry of Magic sent him a letter.

Even without reading it, you can guess what is written in it.

For any letter from the Ministry of Magic, there must be nothing good in that letter.

To be honest, Hagrid didn't have the slightest impression of the Ministry of Magic.

After reading the letter, Hagrid knew that he was going to enter Azkaban.

Hagrid had stayed there for a while, and it was a very bad experience.

He didn't want to go to Azkaban.

After a panic, Hagrid decided to write a letter to Albert, seeking his advice, and Professor Dumbledore, he must know he was innocent.

When Hagrid was considering asking for help from Dumbledore, Albert's words reverberated in his head: ”Do you think they don't know you are innocent? No, of course they know it, just because you are the best to carry it. After all, this matter always needs someone to take responsibility.”

Hagrid slumped down on the chair, and Hound Fang seemed to feel the master's depression, making an uneasy whining sound, and constantly rubbing Hagrid with his head, trying to provide some comfort to the master.

Yup!

Albert had predicted this day, so he would say those things to himself then.

Hagrid took a deep breath, touched the toothy dog's head with a trembling hand, took the parchment and quill from the cabinet, and began to write a letter to Albert.

In fact, Hagrid's mind is now in a mess, and he doesn't know what he should write to Albert.

If you are thrown into Azkaban prison by the Ministry of Magic, you always need someone to fix your teeth and entrust them to Albert?

This was a good idea, but Hagrid quickly thought that Albert was also a Muggle wizard, and he was also at risk of being targeted by the Slytherin heir.

He can't let Albert take a risk, if even Albert is petrified!

No, you can't let Albert take a risk!

Don't let Albert happen.

Can't!

Hagrid crumpled the messy parchment into a ball and threw it into the fireplace next to it. The ball of paper burned in the flames and quickly turned into a pile of ashes.

Before Hagrid could write a letter to Albert, a paper airplane swooped into the house from the window and landed smoothly on the wooden table in front of Hagrid.

Hagrid quickly threw down the quill, and picked up the paper airplane like a treasure, carefully opened it, and concentrated on reading the contents.

It was Albert's letter, he guessed it.

Hagrid looked at the contents of the letter over and over again, as if to keep every word in the letter firmly in his mind. The letter and instructions from Albert greatly encouraged Hagrid.

”Yes, I am innocent,” Hagrid murmured.

When the Ministry of Magic knew that he was innocent, he even arrested innocent people and put them in Azkaban.

The purpose is to make him bear the blame.

hateful!

Hagrid was so strong that he almost crushed the letter paper.

However, Albert thought that he would be released from Azkaban before the end of the semester, which gave Hagrid a lot of confidence.

Hagrid was willing to believe Albert's words, although he didn't want to go to Azkaban again, but it was unavoidable.

Even if Albert's letter strengthened Hagrid's confidence, the period from dinner to late night was still a painful torment for Hagrid.

In the middle of the night, Hagrid's hunting lodge was still lit, and he was waiting for someone from the Ministry of Magic. In fact, Hagrid had been sitting there waiting for hours.

There was a slight footstep outside, causing Hagrid to tighten his nerves.

A few seconds later, the wooden door was knocked.

Hagrid opened the door suddenly and found that there was no one outside.

The next moment, Harry and Ron appeared without warning, and they sneaked out of the castle wearing invisibility cloaks.

”What are you two doing here?” Hagrid didn't understand why Harry and Ron had to venture out of the castle at this time.

”Have you heard about Hermione?” Harry put away the cloak and walked into the room.

Hagrid probably understood what they were thinking, Albert had told him about it, and Harry and Ron were probably here to ask about the secret room.

”I heard.” Hagrid's voice was choked. ”Sit down first. I'll make tea for you.”

”Hagrid, what's the matter with you?”

Harry noticed that Hagrid was absent-minded, always looking nervously at the window, even overturning the teapot, and when he made tea for them, he forgot to put the tea bag, and only poured a large glass of boiling water for each of them.

”You shouldn't have come.” Hagrid regained his gaze from the window and said quickly to Harry and Ron, ”I know what you want to ask, but I am afraid it is too late.”

”What's too late?”
