harry potter book of crimes

When Hermione came out of the Room of Requirement, a long time had passed.

The corridor outside was still so dark that she couldn't even see her fingers, engulfing her figure quietly; the rain outside the castle seemed to have gotten a lot heavier without her noticing, and it thoughtfully covered up the sound of her footsteps as she left quickly.

However, such a "gentle" rainy night took care of more than just her.

When Hermione was groping in the dark again, secretly following the original route back to the dormitory, another flash of lightning suddenly flashed outside the window at the end of the corridor, illuminating a hidden corner behind her.

There, a figure shrouded in a hooded cloak flashed away.

The figure stood motionless, his whole face hidden in the shadow of the hood. Looking at the slightly tilted head and standing still, it seemed that he was listening to the distance that Hermione was leaving.

"Boom——"

Another explosion sounded from the clouds, crossing the barriers of the storm curtain and reaching the ears of everyone who was still awake.

After confirming that Hermione had gone far away, the figure moved. With light steps, it took a few steps to the place where the door of the Room of Requirement disappeared, and reached out to touch it a little.

As you can see, it is indeed just a white wall, leaving no trace whatsoever.

The figure seemed unwilling to give up. Not only did he follow Hermione's previous steps and walked back and forth around the area several times, he also took out his wand and inspected the wall carefully, but he never gained anything.

In the end, the man seemed to have given up. After staring and thinking for a moment in the direction Hermione left, he hurriedly left.

But the man didn't notice that while he was following Hermione all the way, someone was also quietly following behind him. When he looked around the corner, there was another thoughtful figure in the corridor.

.

…

Hagrid is back.

Yes, because the injuries all over his face and buttocks were completely healed, he could finally come back to teach everyone.

Early the next morning, when the little wizards walked into the cool auditorium one after another, they discovered that there was a very conspicuous big man on the staff bench.

Many Gryffindor students like Hagrid very much, although his Care of Magical Creatures class has always been a bit... you know... a little exciting, but the little lions of Gryffindor House are not like this.

One bite?

Just like the two twins Fred and George, as well as their best friend Li and others, they rushed to Hagrid with joy and joy, grabbing his broad and thick hand again and again.

Of course, there are not very few children who like Hagrid, but to be honest, there are really not many. Not to mention the Slytherins who have always rejected him, even among those who support him, the majority of them

In Gryffindor House, there are also a few who seem to be unwilling to do so.

By the way, all of them are girls.

Parvati, Lavender, etc., when they saw Hagrid, they immediately exchanged a few looks with depressed expressions, and their moods were not very beautiful.

In this regard, Harry, Ron and Hermione, the three "hardcore supporters" of Hagrid, actually do not understand the thoughts of those who silently oppose it.

Because when Hagrid was away, Professor Grubblan, who came to teach as a substitute, did teach more popularly - at least Grubblan would not look for those magical animals full of violent elements as subjects for everyone.

After all, how many people are willing to take the risk of having their necks bitten off by "teaching aids" to attend a class?

The Care of Magical Creatures class has always been taught by both houses, Gryffindor and Slytherin together, Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff together.

Last night, God poured down rain all night long. The rain fell from light to heavy, then from heavy to light, and it reluctantly stopped until daybreak.

So today everything is wet outside, and even the remaining temperature in the air seems to have been washed away by last night's heavy rain. With the cold wind blowing constantly, everyone can't help but shrink their necks.

The three of them, Harry and other classmates, walked on the stone path between the lawns. They were all wrapped up tightly, but they still couldn't feel much warmth.

Among the crowd, Hermione hid half of her face in her scarf, her eyelids drooped slightly, and she couldn't help but yawn loudly as she walked.

It seemed that even though the surroundings were so cold, it still couldn't dispel her sleepiness caused by lack of sleep.

When she sneaked back to the dormitory last night, it was actually not very late at all. However, when she got under the quilt and tried to fall asleep as soon as possible, she found that her mind was filled with everything she had seen in the Room of Requirement.

With the turmoil and depression in her heart, she stared until dawn before falling asleep.

"...Tell me, what will Hagrid prepare for us later?" Ron looked very interested.

"Well, who knows?" Harry shook his head and said, "I just hope he can try to be more restrained. After all, everything is quite tense during this period, but it's best not to cause any trouble."

"Yes!" Ron heard the words, and the excitement on his face was slightly suppressed, "I see Aurors in school from time to time these days. I saw them early today... I really don't know if they are

Still running around all night!"

"Not at all." "Not at night."

Harry and Hermione almost simultaneously rejected Ron's guess.

"Huh?" Ron said strangely, "How do you know?"

"It's the Marauder's Map." Harry lowered his voice and said.

"Oh, so -" Ron nodded and looked at Hermione again, "Where are you, Hermione? How did you know?"

"Me?" Hermione had just woken up slightly from her stupor, but she regretted her subconscious answer just now, "Well... in fact, I came out once last night."

"Come out, outside?" Ron said in surprise, "It rained heavily last night?"

"Shhh - be gentle!" Hermione said angrily, "I didn't come outside the castle, just in the corridor - I went to check the training ground we are going to use soon."

"Why didn't you call me? And... you would actually take the initiative to violate the school rules. This is really... did you go somewhere else? I don't believe you just went to take a look at the venue!" Ron complained dissatisfiedly.

Got up.

"Shut up!" Hermione said angrily, "Believe it or not..."

Not long after, they arrived at the place where the class was taking place without even realizing it.

According to the Umbridge of the past, today was Hagrid's first class after his return, and she would definitely arrive early with a disgusting smile on her face.

But as Harry and others saw, Hagrid was the only one standing on the damp grass. No matter in the surrounding open space or the nearby woods, there was no shadow of the old woman anywhere.

It seems that Maka has indeed done it, but how exactly he did it, Hermione and others are not willing to draw conclusions privately. Although they no longer mind whether it is the effect of the Imperius Curse, if it is not, then what will happen?

is the best answer.

"We have class here today!" Hagrid happily pointed to the woods behind him, "It's often dark in the woods, and they don't like bright places very much."

Yes, he does look very happy, but there is one thing that really doesn't match him, because he is also carrying "half a head" of bloody dead cows on his shoulders.

Malfoy, standing among the Slytherin crowd, looked a little nervous.

Of course, he wasn't fainting from blood or anything, at least he wasn't afraid of dead cows. He remembered the night when he stepped into the Forbidden Forest for the only time a long time ago, and he saw a certain man inside who was eating the blood of unicorns, so he

A rather large shadow was left in his heart.

After that, he always stayed away from the forest and never wanted to go in again.

"Malfoy, what's wrong?" Sokas asked calmly.

"Um... no, it's nothing." Malfoy shook his head with a bad look on his face.

"Are you all ready?" Hagrid glanced at the young wizards from the two colleges with a pleasant smile on his face, "Okay, then... I have designed a forest expedition course for you fifth graders.

You can take a look at how amazing animals live in their natural environment.”

"Yes, I think... what we are going to learn this time is a rather rare creature. Well, as far as I know, I am probably the only person in the British wizarding world who has tamed them -"

"Are you sure? Tamed?" Malfoy looked a little trembling, and it seemed that he couldn't calm down. "I don't want to be hurt by any stupid things again, otherwise I will definitely ask dad to get rid of them all! All clean.

!”

It seems that Malfoy's psychological shadow is not limited to the Forbidden Forest, but the hippogriff from last time is also included.

At the reminder of Malfoy's pale face, the Slytherin students whispered in agreement. Not only that, students from other houses were also a little shaken, which showed that Hagrid's class was really not reassuring.

"Of course, no problem." Hagrid frowned and said, "They are all good children - as long as you don't provoke them stupidly, they won't be willing to bite you!"

"you--"

"That's enough, study seriously!" Hagrid said angrily, "Come with me -"

After he said that, he turned around and strode into the forest carrying the dead cow. Most of the students in the remaining two colleges were a little hesitant. After all, the Forbidden Forest has never allowed students to enter at will.

Of course, that means without a teacher accompanying you.

"Let's go!" Hermione blinked her sour eyes and sighed.

Harry and Ron shrugged, and the three of them took the lead to follow Hagrid's pace amid everyone's hesitant gazes.

"Harry..." As they were walking, Ron suddenly turned his head and asked with some confusion, "Does it feel warmer? Or...is it my imagination?"
