A broken Hogwarts

Chapter 88 The next day

The next morning, the sky was overcast with clouds. The enchanted ceiling of the auditorium took on a hazy lead-gray color and looked low and depressing.

Owen sat down at the long table to dine listlessly, and the cloudy day without warm sunshine made his mood less bright.

The little wizards were all discussing what happened last night, and the buzzing conversation in the auditorium was like ten thousand bees flying around.

The students happily exchanged and boasted about their experiences. Justin Finch-Fletchley of Hufflepuff patted his chest and assured himself that he had been scratched by an invisible beast, although there were no wounds on his body. Gryffin

Ron Weasley loudly boasted about his feat of kicking away a big-horned deer, and even Draco vividly recounted the thrilling scene last night and described himself in a colorful way.

How to stay calm in the face of danger...

From everyone's conversations, it seems that in addition to the Slytherin students who were in danger yesterday, the Gryffindor people were also chased by a five-legged monster. Fortunately, Dumbledore arrived in time to save them.

They escaped casualties. The other two colleges had a near-miss, with only a few unlucky ones being stung by Billywig bugs and other unknown bugs.

Halfway through breakfast, Dumbledore came in and said something, telling everyone that the magical animals that appeared in the castle last night had been subdued by the professors. The cause of the accident would be found out soon, so everyone should not worry about it.

However, Owen caught a glimpse of Quirrell peeking behind Dumbledore from a distance, and was deeply suspicious of Dumbledore's words.

"However, since some little guys are very good at hiding, we are not sure if there are any missing ones. If anyone finds a fish that has slipped through the net, please inform the professor to deal with it... Although they are not very dangerous, the probability of being killed by them is also

It can't be zero." Dumbledore said with a mischievous wink.

"Finally, since everyone was a little frightened last night, everyone can take a day off today. Please enjoy an unexpected weekend," he said.

"Look, what a lively little guy! He is playing with me!" Hagrid waved his hand happily.

Owen glanced at Snape, who was limping, and then turned his attention to Quirrell, who was shying away from Snape. Quirrell's face was unusually pale today, with big dark circles under his eyes, and his body was trembling slightly.

He stood there, as if he was still immersed in the shock of last night and hadn't recovered from it.

That’s weird! You’re almost covered in black air! People around him looked at him sideways.

For Merlin's sake, who wants to know if a scary monster rushing towards you is trying to flirt with you or taste you?

When they said goodbye to Hagrid and left, the group of people fell into silence. Even Draco was silent. He was a little frightened by Hagrid and seemed to be weak at this time.

Owen tapped the table thoughtfully, and an elegant and gentle smile appeared on his face. In an instant, his whole person seemed to have turned into an angel who had fallen into the mortal world.

Hagrid rubbed his hands excitedly, and carefully opened the lid like a blind box to take a look, and then said with a wide smile: "Oh, Bird Snake! It's so cute, right? Even though its feathers are burnt.

It has grown a little, but its recovery speed is not slow, and it will grow back in a few days. Maybe I can keep it in the Forbidden Forest..."

The smiles on the little wizards' faces disappeared.

"Eh-" His friends expressed their disgust in unison.

Owen and Harry nodded solemnly, saying in their hearts: The principal did the right thing!

"Okay, come here, I will show you the five-legged monster. She is a fierce little girl." Hagrid quickly became excited again, "It's a pity that she will also be sent away... Oh, that's fine.

, I can’t find a companion for her.”

"Hagrid, we caught a big guy last night." He handed over the jar containing the bird and snake.

The expressions on Owen's and others' faces were indescribable. The little cutie Hagrid mentioned almost ate them all as snacks last night.

"Professor Snape is injured!" Harry said with a worried look. Last night, the dean stood alone behind them and blocked the Chimera beast with ease. He was deeply touched by the dean's behavior, which made him have deep feelings for the dean.

It was the gloomy dean who gained a greater sense of identity.

"Looking at Quirrell like this, I'm afraid I won't be able to hold on for too long." Owen touched his chin and smiled lowly, "Oh my, why am I gloating? It's obvious that I will be the unlucky one after he is gone, haha...

…”

"I know, Malfoy..." Hagrid muttered. His impression of the Malfoy family couldn't be any worse. Then he realized that this was not good, so he hurriedly added, "Oh, I mean, it's very...

Famous..."

After breakfast, Owen delivered the jar with birds and snakes to Hagrid's hut. Hagrid seemed to have not slept all night, but he was full of energy and smiled so hard that he couldn't see his eyes. Before knocking on the door, Owen seemed to hear

Humming out of tune.

"Ah? I don't hold a grudge." Owen gave him a blank look.

In short, the things on Halloween have come to an end. Except for the professors who were busy all night, and Mrs. Pomfrey in the school hospital who was too busy to find anything, Hagrid was probably only very happy to have harvested a lot of cute little ones.

.

"Of course, the lessons I missed today will be made up in the next few days." Dumbledore added with a smile.

He happily took the little wizards to see the newly opened field behind his cabin. The Chimera beast from last night was lying on the ground sleeping soundly, and the shackles on its limbs had been taken off.

There was a bandage wrapped around the wound, and in front of him were several cow skeletons that had been chewed up.

Owen spread out the letter paper and discerned some scrawled fonts on it. Most of them were useless complaints. I really didn't know why my father talked so much every day.

Hagrid didn't know what to say. He scratched his head, raised his huge palm and patted Draco's head, crumpling his golden hair into a chicken coop.

In the afternoon, two owls grabbed a black suitcase and dropped it next to Owen. One of them had a letter in his mouth, which was sent from home.

"Oh, Owen, Harry, come in quickly." Hagrid said enthusiastically, and then glanced at Draco, Blaise and Daphne who were following behind to join in the fun. He raised his eyebrows and said: "You guys

You must be Harry's friend, come in quickly!"

"Of course, my father is a member of the board of directors of Hogwarts." Draco said in a condescending tone. He couldn't look down on Hagrid either. Then he was secretly kicked in the calf by Harry, his face pale because of

He was reddened by pain, but his expression remained unchanged except for the corners of his eyes that twitched slightly.

"Brace Zabini, Daphne Greengrass." Owen introduced Hagrid with a smile, and pushed Draco into the hut, who was about to be stabbed.

Under the leadership of the enthusiastic Hagrid, a group of people visited the magical animals that made Hogwarts a mess last night. While they were eye-opening, they also learned some useless trivia from Hagrid. For example, guests

Myramon likes to butt people with its head when acting coquettishly. When the five-legged monster likes someone, it will hug him whole...

"Owen, just leave what happened last night to the professors, and you won't have to hold grudges..." Blaise patted his shoulder seriously.

The Chimera snorted after being woken up, and sprayed a mouthful of flames at Hagrid, scorching his beard and hair.

"The dean is so powerful, what kind of animal can hurt him?" he pondered.

"Draco Malfoy." Draco said his name proudly, raising his chin high. Then he realized that he couldn't even see Hagrid's face like this, so he raised his face even higher.

A little bit, it looks a little funny.

Many little wizards instantly beamed, forgetting last night's panic. At the Gryffindor table, Hermione pouted in dissatisfaction.

Looking at Owen with a weird smile on his face and feeling the low pressure surrounding him, Harry and Draco couldn't help but move a little further away from him.

"It's a pity that Dumbledore didn't agree with me keeping it in the Forbidden Forest, so it had to be sent away. Someone from the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures will soon take over..." Hagrid then said with great disappointment.

"Look, this is Chimera. Look how beautiful he is. He is still a half-grown boy... He has suffered a lot, has great psychological trauma, and is not very friendly to people..." Hagrid blew his nose.

, with tears in his eyes, he talked about how difficult it was for the little poor boy in front of him.

"...It's a shame that you remembered that there was such a box at home. I spent half a day rummaging through the manor before I remembered that I put it in the house in London...I didn't clean the contents inside.

I hope you can make good use of it, and it is best not to let the whole world know that this traceless expansion spell box has not been reported. Although I will not go to jail for this, I am afraid that I will have to write several more documents..."

"And, it's not a one-time thing. Please bring it back intact when you go home, along with your birthday surprise! For Merlin's sake, a potion shop we had in the black market was robbed a few days ago.

With a lot of newly imported medicinal materials, that damn black market clerk took the money from the store and ran away for fear of being held accountable... I don’t want to experience another round of losses..."

Mr. Albert Shafiq is still so unobtrusive, but he still mostly jokes. As the head of the Shafiq family, he is able to run the family's business and connections prosperously, and his influence is increasing. Shafiq

My husband is not a gas-saving lamp. The clerk who took money and ran away will never be able to get a good deal in his hands.

"But there was a family store in the tent that Voldemort robbed that day?" Owen had a few dark lines on his face, "Well, there's another reason to deal with him."
