harry potter book of crimes

The time without Umbridge is pleasant and enjoyable.

Although both days of the weekend are Hogsmeade's open days, for young wizards, they can live leisurely anywhere without Umbridge.

The next day was Sunday, and Harry and Ron spent a lot of time on homework. After all, no matter how hard they studied in private, they were choosing the subjects they were best at for further study.

As for those subjects that you are not good at, you should put in no less effort.

Of course, catching up on homework cannot make them feel happy as students. But under the last bit of warmth in this approaching winter, and in the gentle wrap of the warm sunshine, they can still get some comfort.

of.

Therefore, taking advantage of a break in the cold wind today, they did not choose to stay in the common room as usual, but changed the place to do their homework to the bank of Liaoyan Lake behind the castle.

Sitting under a tall beech tree, Harry and Ron, under Hermione's silent supervision, struggled to fill in the gaps in their numerous homework assignments.

There is no way, for this class of students, the O.W.Ls exam is a top priority. As long as Hogwarts has not been completely destroyed, the exam will inevitably come as scheduled.

In this period, a large amount of homework is simply commonplace. Compared with the graduates who face the N.E.W.Ts examination, they can only be regarded as a rehearsal.

Hermione's homework had naturally been completed long ago. At this moment, she was leaning on the tree trunk with her eyes slightly closed.

The wand in her hand trembled slightly with the movement of her wrist, controlling the two sets of knitting needles floating beside her to knit the yarn, knitting some cold-resistant items for the winter.

If you look carefully, you can still see the extremely detailed patterns on those woolen hats and scarves. Usually, if you use magic spells, you will never be able to weave such delicate patterns.

In fact, for Hermione, this is also a part of training to practice the control of magic.

There is rarely any wind today. Sitting here, you can see that the lake surface is as smooth as a mirror. The blue sky and the dazzling sun are quietly reflected on the water surface, making it difficult to tell whether it is the water surface or the sky.

Occasionally, a slight breeze blows by, gently ruffling the silence, and even brings a little bit of regret to people.

"ha--"

It was approaching noon, and the sun had silently climbed above the head. Harry finally turned over and lay on his back on the grass, letting out a long sigh of relief.

"Are you done?" Hermione raised her eyelids and asked casually.

"Yes!" At the warmest moment of the day, Harry was bathed in the direct sunlight and felt that he was too lazy to move a finger. "Today is the last day. Just relax, and then

There will be no time for us to rest..."

"oh!"

Ron also breathed a sigh of relief. He flicked the quill in his hand and lay down next to his best friend.

"You're right, ah - I don't even want to eat lunch, I just want to lie here and cherish every last minute and every second!"

"Don't talk like you're going to die!" Hermione rolled her eyes at him lazily, but rarely continued nagging her.

To be honest, the three of them were all excited and worried about the upcoming plans. After understanding what they were about to face, the mountain-like pressure naturally collapsed.

.

Faced with such heavy psychological pressure, how to turn it into more and more fully into one's own motivation is a very difficult challenge.

"The burdens Maka and Dumbledore bear are obviously much heavier than this... How do they still show reassuring smiles under such circumstances?"

Under the mottled tree shadows and in the warmth brought by the sun, Hermione couldn't help but fall into deep contemplation.

…

While the trio of lion cubs were basking in the sun, Luna and Hagrid walked into the Forbidden Forest.

Because Luna had already inadvertently caught a glimpse of Grawp's tall figure when Hagrid came back with him, so Hagrid could no longer stop Luna's curiosity.

After agreeing not to tell anyone about Grawp's existence, Hagrid had no choice but to agree to take Luna to get to know his big, stunted brother.

It is still dark inside the Forbidden Forest. Even on a sunny day at noon, the dense evergreen canopy will still cover the place as if it is a cloudy day.

"... Giants are not very polite, and the same goes for little Graup. But I think they are just not good at expressing their feelings, or they express their feelings in different ways-"

In the grass in the forest, Hagrid led Luna who was in a daze and strode forward, telling some knowledge about Grawp and giants as he walked.

Of course, this knowledge is mixed with a lot of experience that only belongs to Hagrid. How accurate it is is only a question mark.

"The giant can eat people...what kind of emotion is it expressing?" Luna didn't know what she was thinking, but she asked such a question with great interest.

"Uh..." Hagrid thought for a moment, then shrugged and said, "I think... they are hungry?"

"It makes sense." Luna nodded seriously.

"Well..." Hagrid looked back at her, "By the way, will Maka come over today?"

"I don't know," Luna took a big step and stepped over the tree roots that poked out of the ground. "Maybe not... He looks very busy."

"It's still the same!" Hagrid shook his head and said, "With such beautiful weather, it would be a shame not to go for a walk outside... Oh, we are here!"

While the two were talking, the snoring sound coming from the front was very close, and seemed to be right in front.

Hagrid stretched out his broad palm to push aside the bushes, and a burst of bright light suddenly filled his field of vision. He quickly squinted his eyes, and then opened them again after his eyes got used to it a little.

"Oh... a tree fell down," Hagrid suddenly said, "It seems that we have to find another place for this little guy."

Yes, one of the two trees used to tie Graup had been torn out of the ground by its roots and fell sideways.

But fortunately, Grawp didn't run around. He was currently lying on the ground that was bald by his steps, sleeping soundly!

"Shh-"

Hagrid immediately turned around and raised his index finger to his mouth, signaling Luna to keep quiet. Then he turned back again, squeezed through the bushes, and crept toward Grawp.

It seems that no matter how much Hagrid dotes on his younger brother, he actually understands in his heart that it is temporarily impossible to make his precious brother obedient.

In order to make it easier to tie Grawp again, it was obviously the most suitable place to do it while he was sleeping. For this reason, he even temporarily gave up another place that was more suitable for tying Grawp, and instead

He started moving his hands directly on the spot.

“It’s a good decision to bring a rope with me every time I come here!”

Hagrid took down the large bundle of thick rope hanging from his waist, but ignored Grawp and fiddled with the bundle of rope first.

I saw him skillfully throwing away the rope, putting the two strands together to make a big noose, and then selected two big trees near Glop, and tied one end firmly to the trunks of the two trees.

.

Then, he picked up the noose, put it on Graop's waist, and placed it on the ground above his head, encircling his entire upper body in the circle of the noose.

Hagrid had always wanted to raise a real fire dragon, so he also learned the rope tying technique used by dragon tamers. But he never expected that this useless skill would be useless without raising a dragon.

He used it on his younger brother.

"Little Grawp, wake up!"

Having prepared everything neatly, Hagrid walked up to Grawp's head and patted him hard on the back of his head. Grawp's terrible snoring stopped suddenly, but soon it started ringing again.

"Hey! Don't sleep! Brother is here to play with you——"

Seeing that Grawp didn't seem to be waking up, Hagrid had no choice but to bend down, close to his ear, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Bang!" "Ouch——"

Ever since Maka shouted the amplifying spell several times, Grawp's reaction to sounds has become much more sensitive than before. Hagrid's voice immediately woke Grawp up from his sleep.

However, Grawp, who was lying on the ground, was startled by Hagrid's shout. Naturally, his head suddenly lifted up, and his hard skull directly hit Hagrid's nose.

Hagrid immediately covered his nose and sat down on the ground. The sore feeling made him shed tears.

"Huh?"

Grawp, who had just woken up, looked up at Hagrid, then looked around blankly, and then set his sights on Hagrid again.

"...Ha, Hagar."

"It's not 'Haggard' - it's 'Hagrid'." Hagrid covered his nose and stood up, saying vaguely in a heavy nasal voice, "Little Grawp, how about lunch?"

"Ha-Ger!"

Grawp seemed to finally wake up from his stupor. He stood up suddenly and yelled an off-key name at Hagrid. It seemed that he wanted to pounce directly on Hagrid.

"Yes, yes, that's right, come here little guy -"

Hagrid hurriedly bent down and picked up the rope loop on the ground. After Grawp stood up completely, he pulled one side of the rope loop and stepped back.

As for the other side of the rope loop, it is hanging around Graop's waist at the moment!

"Come on, young man, you are very energetic just after waking up!"

At Hagrid's shout, Grawp started running. Hagrid immediately sped up. With Grawp's sudden run, the slip-knotted noose suddenly tightened and was firmly tied to the rope.

Graup's waist.

With a clang, Graup suddenly sat down on the ground.

"Oh——" Luna standing aside clapped her hands in surprise, "The giant's head is a ball!"
