After talking about the new book, everyone started to talk about the things related to the holidays and the new semester. However, as they talked, a few people talked about the things that happened at the beginning of the school year.
"Harry, it's really abnormal for you to encounter these situations this year. At least I think it's too coincidental that the warning issued by the house elf named Dobby at the beginning was blocked on your way to the 9 and 3/4 platform. There's probably some connection."
I have to say that although Hagrid is a bit rough when dealing with people and things, his sixth sense is very accurate at some point.
For example, even though Professor Snape was so suspicious last year, he still firmly believed that Professor Snape was not the one who wanted to steal the Philosopher's Stone, and the truth was the case.
"It's very likely." Hermione suddenly said as Hager finished speaking. Because she found something in common in these two things that seemed unrelated.
"Harry, have you noticed that these two things seem to have one thing in common, that is, they are all trying to stop you from coming to Hogwarts."
"I won't say that the house elf will directly dissuade you. The 9/3/4 platform wall breaks down is exactly when you want to enter." Hermione said seriously as she looked at Harry.
"So you really should think about what happened recently, so that someone wants to stop you from coming to school through various means."
"I think something is wrong when you say this." Ron, who is beside Harry, frowned. "I thought this was done by the anti-Muggle prankster, but now I say this is indeed a bit suspicious - by the way, maybe these things are done by Malfoy."
When he talked about Malfoy, Ron immediately became energetic. "Think about it, does Malfoy hate you? Moreover, house elves are also a very rare existence, and they can only be found in some ancient pure-blooded wizard families. The Malfoy family just meets this condition-"
"Ah, this-" Harry and Hermione also became suspicious when Ron said that. Soon Harry reacted and looked at Ron and said.
"By the way, the house elf told me that his name was Dobi. Think about it, is the house elf in the Malfoy family called Dobi?"
"Uh-I really don't know this." Ron shook his head helplessly. "You know that our family and the Malfoy family have a very bad relationship, so it is natural that they can't go to his house, let alone know the name of his house elves. However, in addition to their masters, outsiders rarely know what their name is."
"So that's how it is!" Harry and the others nodded thoughtfully. After realizing that there was no way to get more information, everyone present quickly turned the topic in other directions.
Just as he was chatting, Hagrid quickly complained about Professor Lockhart.
This is a very unusual thing, because Hagrid is not the type of person who likes to criticize others, especially when facing the professor at Hogwarts.
For example, when he mentioned the company before, he thought that the company was a very qualified teaching assistant and safety personnel.
"What's wrong with Lockhart this time?" After hearing Hager's complaint, Harry and the others immediately showed curious expressions, and then they heard Hager say directly:
"He ran over this morning and taught me how to prevent the water demon from entering the well, as if I didn't know. He also brags about how he drove away the female ghost. One of the words was true, and I would eat the teapot."
"That's really—" everyone present shook their heads, and then Harry asked directly, "If his level is so bad, then why would Professor Dumbledore recruit him to serve as a professor in the school?"
"Because he was the only choice at that time." Haeger said, bringing a plate of roasted soft creamy fudge to the coffee table, and then said. "It's difficult to find a teacher in a black magic defense science class now. People don't want to do it very much. They think the job is unlucky. No one has done a long time."
Hager sighed. "So Principal Dumbledore was still a little too hasty at that time. At least judging from Miss Halsey's patrol of Forest Forest with me the day before yesterday, she was much more suitable for this position than Lockhart. Unfortunately, she came late when she signed up."
After everyone finished drinking the tea, Hagrid took them to the field to visit the pumpkins he grew. Compared with normal pumpkins, these pumpkins that were obviously not yet mature are more than half a person tall. Obviously, they are not the type that everyone is common.
"This is what I prepared specifically for Halloween banquets. If nothing unexpected happens, they can grow to more than one person tall."
"This should be the effect of the expansion spell. I have read it in the book." Hermione whispered after approaching Hugo. "When you use it, the expansion spell can make the items expand quickly. If you cast this spell in multiple batches when planting plants, it will make the part you want to grow larger in the plant permanently."
"It seems that Hagrid should have used magic to give her pumpkin a little less legitimate help." Hugo also turned his head and said to Hermione in a quiet voice. "But seriously, in this magical world, only the pumpkin as tall as a human can be placed there to have a festive atmosphere."
After the chat, they thought of Hugo who wanted to write the homework, and said goodbye to Hagrid and returned to Hogwarts Castle. Then they headed straight to the library to prepare for their weekend homework.
However, just as he started doing his homework, Harry and Ron watched Hugo and the other two take out a pair of glasses from their bodies and put them on their faces.
"You should be wearing experimental glasses from the Golden Harbor Grocery Store now, right?" Because Burah had sent the test item to the selected personnel in the school, Harry and the others were naturally curious when they could get close to this magic prop.
"Yes, that's the thing." Hermione pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose with her fingers and said, "This thing is indeed good. It can record and videos, and can also enlarge or shrink certain images. At least with the help of these glasses in class, it can help us avoid missing what teachers say as much as possible."
"So this thing is so boring-" After hearing Hugo say this, Ron shook his head indifferently. He originally thought that this magic prop was so powerful or interesting, but he didn't expect it to be just a magic prop for assisting learning.
"Actually, I think this thing is quite useful, at least it can save time copying the blackboard." Harry thought of another direction.
"This is especially true in potion class. If I could put the operation steps on the lens and operate them in front of me, I think I would not have been criticized by Snape as much as I am now."
"Uh-I think you will be criticized by Snape no matter how you operate." After hearing Harry said this, Ron showed an incredible expression on his face. "I think he just hates you, so he will criticize you no matter what you do."
