Chapter 1035 (1/2)
Speaking of Hagrid, Hagrid was eventually expelled from the Ministry of magic. After Hagrid asked Gloop to Harry, although it didn't take long, the teaching at Hogwarts was still extremely tortuous for Hagrid.
As Harry walked down the last step into the porch, he saw Malfoy, Cara and Goyle coming out of the door to Slytherin common room on the right.
Hallidan stopped, Malfoy they stopped. The only sounds that could be heard at the moment were shouts and laughter coming from the playground. Malfoy looked around - Harry knew he was checking for teachers - and then he looked at Harry and whispered, ”you're dead, Potter.”
Harry raised his eyebrows. ”Interesting,” he said, ”you expect me not to dodge.”
Malfoy looked more angry than ever; Harry felt a twinge of pain as he looked at his pale, twisted face.
”You have to pay,” Malfoy said in a low voice. ”I want you to pay for what you did to my father!”
”I'm scared,” Harry said sarcastically. ”I think Lord Voldemort has just warmed up compared to the three of you - what's the matter?” He added that they were taken aback by the name when they saw Malfoy. ”Isn't he a friend of your father? You shouldn't be afraid of him, should you? ”
”How great do you think you are, Potter,” Malfoy said, walking slowly, with Cara and Goyle on both sides. ”You wait, I'll let you know. You can't keep my father in prison - ”
” I think I know, ”Harry said.
”The Dementors have left Azkaban,” Malfoy said softly. ”Father and the others will come out soon.”
”Yes, I think they will,” said Harry, unconcerned. ”But now, at least, everyone knows that they are despicable people -”
Malfoy whipped his wand, but Harry was faster than him; he pulled out his wand just as Malfoy's finger was just in the pocket of his robe.
”Potter!” A voice came through the porch. Snape appeared on the stairs leading to his office and looked at Harry. Harry felt a strong hatred, far more than he had for Malfoy. Whatever Dumbledore said, he would never forgive Snape, never.
”What are you doing, Potter?” Snape's voice was as cold as usual, and he strode over to the four of them.
”I'm thinking of the spell I'm going to use on Malfoy, sir,” Harry snapped.
Snape stares at him. ”Put your wand down at once,” he said quickly, ”deduct ten tenths of Gryffindor...”
Snape looked at the huge scorer on the wall and laughed contemptuously. ”Ah, I found that there was no point left for Gryffindor on the scorer. So, Potter, I can only simply... ”
”Add some points?” Professor McGonagall limped from the stone steps into the castle, one carrying a tartan travelling bag, leaning askew against the cane in the other, looking very good.
”Professor McGonagall!” Cried Snape, striding over and holding Professor McGonagall's arm. ”You're out of St. Munger's hospital!”
”Yes, Professor Snape,” Professor McGonagall said, taking off her travel cloak. ”I'm a new man. You two Clara Gore
She waved haughtily to them, and the two men came over, dragging their feet slowly.
”Take this,” she said, stuffing her bag into Clara's arms and stuffing her bucket with Goyle, ”take them to my office.”
Clara and Goyle turned and stumbled up the stairs.
”Well, then,” said Professor McGonagall, looking up at the scorer on the wall, ”well, I think Potter and his friends must each add 50 points, because they warn the world of the return of the mysterious man! What do you think, Professor Snape? ”
”What?” Snape asked in surprise, and Harry thought he must have heard clearly. ”Oh - well - I think so.”
”Give Potter 50 points, then, and two Weasley kids, Longbottom and Granger and Al!” Professor McGonagall said word for word, and a large number of rubies fell from the Gryffindor scorer. ”Oh, I think there's Luna,” she added. ”There's sapphire in Ravenclaw's scorer.
”Now, I think you can take Porter ten percent, Professor Snape - just like we saw.” There were some rubies flying in the scorer, but there were still quite a few left below. ”So, Potter, Malfoy, I think it's time for you to go out? It's such a nice day out there
Professor McGonagall said, beaming, as if pleased.
Harry didn't need to listen to her again - he tucked his wand into his robe and walked straight to the front door without looking at Snape and Malfoy.
As a matter of fact, he disdained to look at them both, Slytherin came out
As soon as he got out of the gate, the heat of the sun immediately surrounded him.Harry walked across the lawn towards Hagrid's cabin.
The students on the lawn were enjoying the sunshine and talking to each other. Some were reading the prophet's daily, some were eating snacks, and they all looked at him when he passed by. Some people were calling him, or waving to him, eager to show them that, as mentioned in the Daily Prophet, he was regarded as a hero.
But Harry didn't speak to anyone. He didn't know how much they knew about what had happened in the past three days, but he didn't want to be questioned now or in the future. He thought for a moment as he knocked on Hagrid's door, but his teeth came running around the corner and rushed at him with great enthusiasm, telling Harry that Hagrid was picking beans in the garden.
”Great, Harry!” Hagrid yelled happily, and Harry walked over to the fence. ”Come on, come on. Let's have a dandelion juice.”
”How about it?” Asked Hagrid, two men sitting at Hagrid's wooden table, one holding a glass of frozen juice.
”Er - it's not bad, isn't it?” Harry looked at Hagrid's concerned look and knew he wasn't asking if he was healthy. ”I'm fine,” Harry said quickly, not wanting to discuss what Hagrid was thinking.
”How are you?”
”Always hiding in the mountains,” Hagrid said. ”It's like when Sirius was hunted, but it's not hard, Dumbledore...”
Hagrid stopped. He cleared his throat, looked at Harry and drank several juices in one breath.
”Come back, anyway,” he said softly.
”You You look better, ”said Harry, determined to take the conversation off the order of the Phoenix and Dumbledore.
”Is it?” Asked Hagrid, raising a big hand to touch his face. ”Oh yes. Gloop is much better, too. I met him three times after I came back, and he told me about it three times. He's a good guy, really. I think it's time to find him a girlfriend. ”
Harry wanted to tell Hagrid that was not the case. It would be a worry if another giant lived in the black forest, perhaps more muddled and rude than Gloop.
