Chapter 188 Weird Snape

After dinner in the evening, it was still relatively early, so Harry and Hermione chose to visit Hagrid.

The doghouse outside Hagrid's hut was empty, but the lights were on inside the wooden house.

Harry knocked on the door. After a while, Hagrid shouted roughly: "Come in."

The two pushed the door open and entered the room, and saw Hagrid wiping the table.

The bed behind Hagrid was clean, and he had stuffed the mattress and clothes into an old wooden suitcase.

His hunting dog Yaya was lying on the ground drinking milk, while Blake didn't even look at the milk next to him, but looked at Hagrid worriedly, and his tail stopped wagging.

After seeing Harry, Hagrid subconsciously covered up the dusty large wine barrels behind him and forced a smile:

"Harry, Hermione, are you two here?"

Hagrid's voice was filled with sadness, and even Fang Ya raised his head and whimpered.

Black licked Hagrid's hand and then slipped over to Harry's side.

Although I sympathize with my old friend, my old friend is not as important as my goddaughter.

"I think this is probably a brand new record." Hagrid threw away the rag in despair and sat down on the chair.

"Never...I don't think I've ever been a professor for just one day, and I did that."

"I will definitely be fired and lose my job as gamekeeper and keykeeper."

"The school directors also knew about this... They thought I was too rash... I should have chosen simple animals like the Flobber caterpillar first."

"This is all my fault."

Hermione tried to comfort Hagrid, saying that Malfoy's injury was not serious.

And this is just a normal teaching accident. Other professors have had more serious accidents than this.

For example, explosions often occurred in Professor Snape's classes. Even if Seamus and Neville were separated, it would not be much better.

But Hagrid still looked sad: "But it was Malfoy who was injured this time!"

"And I made such a big fuss in the first class. It's really inappropriate... It's definitely a brand new record in Hogwarts!"

He blew his nose hard and his eyes became a little red.

Harry sighed, Hagrid was really worrying too much.

Just as she analyzed to Hermione in the afternoon, as long as Professor Dumbledore doesn't say anything, no one can expel Hagrid from Hogwarts.

And with Lucius's political literacy, he is absolutely aware of this matter.

So the best Malfoy can do is disgust Dumbledore a little, and then he won't target Hagrid anymore.

What Hagrid should be worried about now is the hippogriff called Buckbeak.

After all, although it is the private property of Hogwarts, it is also within the jurisdiction of the Office of Beasts, Aliens and Ghosts.

And when it hurts someone, the Dangerous Animals Committee has an excuse to step in!

When Hagrid learned about Harry's views, he immediately stopped being sad.

His own expulsion was the punishment he thought he deserved, but if Buckbeak was harmed, Hagrid would be very sad.

Especially from Hagrid's point of view, Buckbeak might be harmed all because of himself.

But Hermione tried her best to comfort Hagrid: "It's okay. If anything happens to Buckbeak, you can write to us."

"We will help you find a solution together."

…

Hagrid wrote a letter the next day.

It is true that he was not expelled, but like his predecessors, he received a punishment.

Although he changed from a regular teacher to a probationary teacher, Hagrid was very happy.

As long as he is not allowed to leave Hogwarts, his only home, Hagrid will be happy even if there is no salary.

Besides, Professor Kelt spent a full 62 years on probation, received 63 disciplinary actions, and was only made a regular employee when he was about to retire in the last year.

As for Buckbeak, there is no bad news yet. This makes Hagrid even more excited.

Harry no longer cares about this matter, after all, she is very busy this semester.

Harry has accepted invitations to Professor McGonagall's Transfiguration Club and Professor Flitwick's Charms Club.

And Professor Snape will definitely not let Harry go, and will definitely continue to find reasons to put her in "confinement".

Coupled with various elective courses and the weekend exploration and development plan of the Forbidden Forest, Harry's task is no easier than Hermione who has chosen five courses.

Thursday morning is the first Potions class of the term.

After the names were called, Professor Snape looked at the little wizards with a gloomy face:

"The difficulty of the potions we will learn this semester will be raised to a higher level."

"I'm very happy about this. After all, it's a torture to watch you making those ordinary potions with so many mistakes."

"Although you will make more mistakes when brewing more difficult potions, making mistakes when brewing the shrinking potion is at least much better than telling people about the explosion when brewing the boil cure potion."

As he said this, Professor Snape glanced at Seamus expressionlessly, scaring him so much that he subconsciously pinched his thigh.

"I think you all know that Harry represented Hogwarts and won the Magic School Potions Championship this holiday."

"Of course, I don't expect you all to be as talented in potions as she is."

"But I hope that you can at least use your brains when studying and remember what you have learned..."

Professor Snape paused again and scanned the entire classroom.

Ron and Neville, who were sitting in the back row, trembled subconsciously, while Seamus tried to stay calm while thinking about how to avoid explosions during horseback riding.

The other Gryffindors also shrank their heads, and the Slytherins let out strange chuckles.

"...So we will not review this lesson, but directly start a new lesson, Shrinking Potion."

Professor Snape lazily waved his wand, and the recipe for the shrink potion appeared on the blackboard.

"Shrinking potion, a potion that can make the drinker's body smaller or transform into a younger form..."

Professor Snape quickly mentioned a few key points, and then tapped on the blackboard:

"That's all I have to say. As for more content, I think as third-grade students, you should be able to understand the sentences in the textbook."

"Of course, it would be a pity if your IQ is not above the average."

"Start configuration now, the deadline is until the end of get out of class!"

It was obvious that Professor Snape was not in a good mood, and he didn't know who provoked him.

(Thanks to Jiuwei Yanhu for the tip!)

(ps. Found a small bug. The first day of school was September 2, 1993, and the calendar was Thursday.

However, in the original book, there was no Potions class on that day, but in the chapter "The Boggart in the Wardrobe", there was a Potions class on Thursday morning.

Maybe the original author didn’t look at the calendar, so he moved the course on September 2nd to Monday.)
