HP: Wizards at Hogwarts

Chapter 115 I Have a Date with a Centaur

When Elaine arrived at Hagrid's Hut, he found Harry and Ron there as well.

Hermione is not here.

This "brain" of the original trio, after going to Ravenclaw, was influenced by the school's atmosphere and schedule, making it difficult for him to spend long periods of time with Harry and Ron.

With the Study Club still in place at Hogwarts, Hermione is now focused on her studies and rarely runs around with Harry and Ron, the two less academically gifted students.

Sure enough, once a time traveler intervenes, Hermione and her two "burdens" will become Harry, Ron, and a roadside "by the roadside".

"Hagrid, Justin said you were looking for me?"

Elaine didn't come here to appease Quirrell; rather, he received a message from Hagrid Justin during lunch today.

"Eleven, you're here?! Come in and have a seat!!"

Hagrid greeted him warmly.

Harry and Ron waved to Elaine as he entered.

Neither of them spoke, because their mouths were stuffed with rock-skin cakes, their cheeks bulging out like two greedy little squirrels.

Elaine glanced at the two men with surprise, then found a seat next to them and sat down.

"I can't believe you guys can actually eat this?!"

"Are you planning to use it to practice your teeth?"

Harry took a long time to finally swallow the cookie, then picked up the black tea next to him to smooth it out before saying, "Actually—well—if you ignore the hardness, it tastes pretty good."

Ron swallowed a cookie, took a sip of tea to calm himself, and then said, "But for me, it's completely irrelevant."

.

Elaine suddenly realized that these two might also have a talent for stand-up comedy.

However, compared to the Weasley twins, this talent is destined to be far from sufficient.

Elaine's gaze swept casually across the room, and he quickly noticed something unusual—a stove was burning in the room.

The weather is relatively warm today, not at all necessary to light a stove, and given Haig's robust health, he shouldn't light a fire at all.

A large chair was placed in front of the stove, with several loose-fitting clothes haphazardly covering it.

Something seemed to be wrapped inside the clothes, making them bulge out.

Hagrid noticed Elaine's gaze and sheepishly explained, "Ahem—I accidentally got my clothes wet, so I took them off to dry them."

This is a lie!

The sun is shining brightly outside. Instead of hanging wet clothes to dry in the sun, they are brought inside to be dried in the stove.

Who would believe that?!

Besides, even if you're going to dry clothes, you should at least unfold them, not roll them up like a ball to dry!

Isn't this blatantly telling everyone that something's wrong with the stove and the clothes?

"By the way, Elaine, come and try my rock cakes!"

Hagrid took a piece of rock cake and a cup of black tea, placed them on the table in front of Elaine, and then casually sat down between Elaine and the fireplace, blocking Elaine's view.

He stood up straight, his eyes fixed straight ahead.

Two seconds later.

His eyes darted around, glancing at Elaine, then at the rock-skin cake on the table, pretending to urge her on.

"Eat quickly."

"Didn't you like it a lot last time?"

Hagrid, you hid it terribly!!

"Okay, thanks."

Elaine had no choice but to play along, pretending not to notice the trickery of the stove.

He reached out and accepted Hagrid's offer, snapped off a small piece of biscuit with a "crunch," and popped it into his mouth, munching away.

Harry and Ron, who were on the other side, stared wide-eyed at what they saw.

"Wait! What did I just see?!"

"Seriously? You broke off a piece of rock crust so easily, and chewed it so effortlessly? Are your teeth made of iron?!"

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key—"

Elaine waved his hand, making a "small" gesture with his thumb and forefinger: "Don't be surprised, I just have slightly better teeth than you guys!"

I think it's a tiny bit!

Harry and Ron both thought to themselves.

Elaine's excellent teeth are, of course, due to the system.

For each character card he acquires, his physical strength increases by one point.

He now has eight character cards, so his physical strength is naturally much greater than that of ordinary people.

Let's not talk about this anymore.

"Hagrid, what do you need me for?"

Elaine turned her gaze to Hagrid.

"It's not me looking for you, it's the centaur tribe that wants to find you."

"They probably wanted to thank you for saving their people and for learning about the poachers."

"I think it's necessary to let you know in advance so you can be prepared, and also to ask if you'd like to meet them."

Elaine was secretly moved.

Hagrid could have waited until night patrol to tell me about it, or even taken me directly to the centaurs' territory, but he didn't. Instead, he chose to explain it in advance and specifically asked for my opinion.

This shows that he not only values ​​this matter, but also values ​​himself.

Elaine nodded. "Understood. I can see them. When?"

"Tonight."

That evening, during night patrol time.

Elaine and Hagrid met at the entrance to the Forbidden Forest as usual.

Harry and Ron, having heard about this incident that afternoon, stayed up late and came over as a team to join in the fun.

"You two are really something! Aren't you afraid the professor will find out and give you points deductions and put you in solitary confinement?"

Harry chuckled to himself and retorted, "Anyway, the outcome of us sneaking into the Forbidden Forest and you getting locked up is pretty much the same—"

Good heavens!

Speechless!

Elaine and Hagrid shrugged at each other, resigned to letting the two of them follow.

The group of four, along with their pet dog Ya Ya, made their way along the winding forest path they were patrolling at night.

Ron and Harry chattered away the whole way.

"Harry, don't you feel a little cold, and a little creepy?"

"I felt it! I should have worn an extra scarf before coming out!"

"Harry, have you ever seen centaurs before?"

"I've only seen pictures in books and Hagrid has described them to me, but I've never seen them in person."

"Me too—Harry, do you think when a female centaur gets pregnant, does her belly get bigger on top or bottom?"

"I don't know either, maybe Hagrid does?"

"Harry, how do centaurs' stomachs and intestines work? Don't they get severely indigestion after eating? And how do they sit to poop?"

"—I don't know, don't ask me!"

"Okay, I guess you probably don't know that either."

"By the way, do you think centaurs can eat rock-skin cakes? Won't they get indigestion from eating them?"

""

Hagrid listened to Ron's questions one after another, laughing throughout.

The more Harry listened, the more he felt that coming out with Ron tonight was a mistake.

Elaine, however, had a different opinion.

He found the current atmosphere extremely interesting.
