The Alchemist of Harry Potter

Chapter 1031 Rejection
"What are you discussing?"

As soon as Hagrid came out of the woods, he saw Harry, Hermione and Ron standing in front of the hunting lodge and whispering, not knowing what they were talking about.

Hermione turned her head to look in the direction of the Forbidden Forest, noticed the injury on Hagrid's face, and asked worriedly, "Hagrid, why are you injured again?"

"Hagrid, aren't you going to fight the troll?" Harry asked jokingly.

"How is that possible?" Hagrid waved his hands impatiently.

"The wound on your body looks like you were injured by someone." Ron doubted that apart from the troll, there was nothing else in the Forbidden Forest that could hurt Hagrid.

"What do you have to do with me?"

Hagrid changed the subject, took out the key from his pocket, opened the wooden door of the hunting lodge, and invited Harry and the three of them into the house for tea.

It was very cold in the room, the fire had been extinguished long ago, and the things in it were placed in a mess. After Hagrid entered the room, he immediately lit the firewood in the fireplace, hung up the kettle to boil water, and then took it out of the bag on the fireplace. Throw something that looks like a bone to Fang Ya.

"Hagrid, what is this?" Ron asked curiously, looking at Fangya who was eating.

"Albert sent the house elf over last night, saying it was food for Fang." Hagrid threw the towel into the bucket, took it out, wrung it out and applied it to the wound on his face, "Hermione, help me Get that bottle of pills from the cupboard behind you."

"What kind of medicine is this, Hagrid?" Hermione asked.

"It's a painkiller. Albert told me to throw away the dragon meat, but I think the painkiller effect of the dragon meat is more effective." Hagrid looked at the big jar of medicine in front of him, feeling a little apprehensive, "Why don't you eat a few pills?" Didn't write clearly?"

"You can't take medicine indiscriminately?" Hermione frowned and said, "With Albert's character, he will definitely leave you a note or something."

"It seems that there is indeed a letter. I remember that the letter seems to be..."

Hagrid looked around and finally found the letter beside the mortar. He opened it and took out two pieces of parchment. After looking at the contents of the letter, he looked at the medicine bottle in his hand and muttered, "Once Five pills for sex? Hope this thing works."

As he spoke, Hagrid dropped the letter paper, poured five of them into his mouth, chewed them and swallowed them, his face wrinkled from the bitterness of the painkillers.

"Hagrid, you have to swallow the pill." Hermione was a little speechless, it was the first time she saw someone chew a pill like a jelly bean.

"Swallow?"

Hagrid was a little dazed, he really hadn't eaten this stuff before, no wonder it was so bitter.

Hermione picked up the letter, read the contents carefully, and looked at Hagrid with a helpless wry smile, because Albert had clearly mentioned that painkillers should be swallowed, and not only the usage of painkillers was written on the parchment, There are also the treatment of wounds and the treatment of using white fresh.

Hermione's eyes fell on the stone mortar, and there was indeed a large amount of white meat next to it, which should have been sent by Albert to the house-elf to treat Hagrid's wounds.

"You should take a good look at the advice Albert gave you, and how Hagrid got hurt." Hermione suspected that Albert knew the reason for Hagrid's injury, otherwise he wouldn't have prepared a big bottle of painkillers. I don't know how long the stuff can be eaten.

"Well... don't worry, I'm fine, I just got a little injury." Hagrid comforted casually, as if he was very reluctant to mention his injury.He went in and threw the towel into ice water to wet it, wrung it dry, and applied it to the wound. Then he picked some white fresh meat and threw it into the stone mortar to smash it, preparing to apply it to the wound later.

"You don't look like you're okay now." Harry was a little worried. What kind of dangerous thing did Hagrid keep in the Forbidden Forest?

If Toad finds out by then, the other party will definitely be happy to fire Hagrid, and even put Hagrid in Azkaban prison.

Ron and Hermione obviously both thought about this, and after they exchanged glances, Hermione said, "By the way, Hagrid, how is your preparation for Protection of Magical Creatures?"

"Toad wants to fire you very much. You are her first target." Ron suspected that Hagrid didn't realize the seriousness of the problem at all.

"Toad?" Hagrid asked, confused.

"Toad is Umbridge's nickname. She was once turned into a pink toad," Harry explained to Hagrid. "Afterwards, everyone privately called her Toad."

"Oh, I know, it's the new Defense Against the Dark Arts professor, right? Albert told me about the censorship." Hagrid comforted.

The three looked at each other, and finally Harry reminded Hagrid, "Toad has always wanted to fire the teacher who has a close relationship with Dumbledore."

"We don't want you to be fired as soon as you come back," Ron went on.

"So please, Hagrid, please teach me the usual stuff." Hermione's voice was pleading, "Teach me something you're sure to get in 0.w.Ls exams, like thorns, unicorns, or fire. Crab."

"I'm ready, and I'll definitely give you a surprise." Hagrid almost patted his chest to assure the three of them.

"Toad doesn't care about surprises," Ron warned. "Trelawney gave Toad a big surprise, and she's now being detained for observation."

"None of us thought you had such luck," Harry reminded. "Toad hates your half-giant blood so much that it was even mentioned in the papers, Hagrid, don't take any chances."

"Don't worry, I'm very confident in my preparation." Hagrid still didn't intend to change his plan, "Also, even if I'm fired, I can still do things for the Order of the Phoenix."

The three of them looked at each other, feeling that what they just said was in vain.

"What advice did Albert give you, Hagrid?" Hermione asked suddenly. "I'm sure he must have told you about it."

"He seems to have me preparing for the review." Hagrid rubbed the back of his head in confusion.

"It's impossible, Harry, look at that letter." Hermione didn't believe that Albert would give Hagrid some reminders. The biggest possibility was that Hagrid himself ignored it.

"Hagrid, what is a Thestral." Harry asked suddenly.

"What's the matter, Harry?" Hagrid asked with some surprise.

"Anderson asked you to introduce the Thestrals to everyone." Harry raised the parchment in his hand and continued: "By the way, there is another letter here."

"What was written in the letter?"

Harry was about to hand the parchment to Hagrid, but Hagrid didn't answer it, but asked Harry what was on the parchment.

"Really?" Harry asked suspiciously.

"Of course." Hagrid was too busy applying white cream to the wound, unable to draw his hand at all.

"He said he recognized your efforts..."

Harry frowned, and Hermione and Ron leaned over to read the contents of the parchment. He continued, "I understand your feelings, but your efforts are not effective. He advised you to give up. And he said he couldn't help you with that."

"Hagrid, what did Albert say?" Hermione felt that what Albert said in the letter was the reason for Hagrid's injury.

"You don't really have any dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest!" Harry asked uneasily.

"No." Hagrid shook his head.

"Umbridge has always wanted to make an example to others, and the one she wants to fire most is you." Harry warned again, "If the toad finds out that you have raised some terrible magical animals in the Forbidden Forest, he will never mind firing you, and then get rid of you." To kill your pet, I dare say that a toad would definitely do such a thing."

"Albert mentioned this to me." After hearing what Harry said, Hagrid couldn't help clenching his fists. He would never allow the situation Harry said to happen.

"Did he mention anything else in the letter?" Hagrid wasn't surprised that Albert knew about Gropp. In Hagrid's mind, Albert was a guy with great powers, and there was almost nothing he could hide from him. he.

Everyone saw that Hagrid didn't seem to want to mention that, so they stopped asking. They suspected that Hagrid had raised some dangerous magical animals in the Forbidden Forest.

Harry's eyes fell on the parchment again, and he continued: "He said in the letter that he hoped that you would pick up Firenze at that time, so that he would not be killed by the centaur... He felt that Dumbledore might, might ignore something, or..."

Firenze?Horseman?

Harry, Ron, and Hermione were all a little confused, obviously not understanding the meaning of the parchment.

Why was Firenze killed by the centaur?
"I think I've heard that name somewhere," Harry whispered.

"The centaur who saved you in the Forbidden Forest in first year," Hermione reminded.

"Oh, it's him, but isn't Firenze a centaur?" Harry was even more confused.

The three of them looked at Hagrid together, but Hagrid obviously didn't understand the meaning of the letter either.

"I'm sure Albert knows that you won't read this letter carefully." Hermione took the letter, read it carefully, and said firmly, "This letter is for us to read."

"That guy's always been mysterious, and it's best to ask him directly," Harry said to Hagrid. "There must be a reason why he reminded you of this on purpose."

After the three had a cup of tea at Hagrid's place, they returned to the castle. Harry and Ron had accumulated a lot of homework recently, and they had to hurry up and finish it.

"What do you think Hagrid raised in the Forbidden Forest?" Harry asked suddenly on the way back to the castle.

"Troll?" Ron guessed.

"Certainly not, his injury looks like he was in a fight with someone." Hermione didn't forget Hagrid's appearance when he first came back.

"I'm sure Albert knows." Harry didn't forget Albert's rejection of Hagrid's things hidden in the Forbidden Forest in that letter.

"Could it be... giants?" Hermione said tremblingly, "Hagrid said it took him more than a month to find the giant camp, but it took him two months to come back, and he was definitely beaten of."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, they felt that Hermione's words really made sense.

"But how did he do it, I mean he certainly couldn't get the giant to go with him." Harry was doing his best to deny Hermione's speculation.

After a long silence, Hermione said tremblingly, "Maybe, it's the young giant. Don't forget, Hagrid raised dragons, but... I don't understand why Hagrid did this, why he insisted on throwing his life away." Made it so hard."

Hermione has almost confirmed her guess, and she has not forgotten the words Albert wrote in the letter: I agree with your efforts and understand your feelings, but your efforts are not effective, I advise you the best is to Give up, I can't help you in this matter.

"Hiding the giant in the woods, I bet he must be crazy, no wonder Anderson won't help him." Ron couldn't understand what was going on in Hagrid's mind.

"Albert definitely knows something, I have to talk to him." Hermione murmured, "I really don't understand why Hagrid would do this."
