A Certain Magical Hogwarts

Chapter 3: The professor was gored to death by a wild boar!

"Sorry I'm late."

The giant apologized, bent over, and walked in, his head brushing against the ceiling, nearly bumping into the chandelier.

The giant scratched his head and laughed awkwardly, "I was supposed to arrive at nine o'clock, but I encountered a small problem on the way."

Once you grab your hair, it's no big deal. The already odd ponytail hairstyle becomes completely messy.

Roy, the father, swallowed hard and asked dryly, "Excuse me, are you a professor at Hogwarts?"

Roy's tone was not impatient at all, as if he was the one who had just complained about the other person's lateness.

Roy wasn't short either, nearly 1.9 meters tall, but compared to the giant's height, which far exceeded that of a normal person, he looked like a hobbit.

The size difference between the two sides was too great, and this kind of intimidation was not just talk. At this moment, Roy could only make a decisive decision based on his heart.

Upon hearing Roy's question, the giant hurriedly replied, "My name is Rubeus Hagrid, and I am the custodian of the keys to Hogwarts and the keeper of the hunting grounds."

Professor Snape was supposed to greet the new students, but Hogwarts has recently encountered some minor issues.

Professor Robert, who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts, was wandering in the Forbidden Forest during the day when he was gored to death by a Tepo warthog.

The school is short-staffed for the time being, so let me help out…

No one heard clearly what Hagrid said next; everyone's attention was drawn to the statement, "The professor is dead."

Roy gasped, exchanged a glance with Lyanna, and said uneasily, "I told you we shouldn't go. This school is too dangerous."

Good heavens! Even professors are dying…

"That's not true. With Professor Dumbledore around, Hogwarts is the safest place in the wizarding world."

Hagrid blushed and stammered in explanation, "It's just that the position of Defense for Magic is very strange. Every year, the professors who apply for the position have some problems."

"What did you say? This kind of thing happens at Hogwarts every year?!" Lyanna's voice was sharp; she had begun to doubt the school's security.

"That's not how it is—" But Hagrid couldn't continue. He realized that what the other person said... seemed to make sense.

"Hey, I'll write a letter of commission to Holmes and ask him to investigate at Hogwarts."

Annie, having found her chance, shouted excitedly and rushed to her bedroom.

Hagrid kept scratching his head, which was turning into a bird's nest, realizing he had messed up the day.

He stared, bewildered.

It is the teacher's responsibility to welcome new students. Hagrid is not a teacher, and he asked Dumbledore for permission to go out this time.

The reason is simple: he hopes he can do well and ask Dumbledore next year to let him pick up Harry!

This was only the first Muggle family, and he already messed everything up, not only being late but also causing some misunderstandings among the Muggle family...

Hagrid would rather deal with the adorable Hungarian wood bees!

The living room was noisy, like a vegetable market, when a childish voice rang out.

"Hey, since you're a wizard, could you show us what you've got?"

William tilted his head back, his beautiful dark green eyes looking at Hagrid.

William's words finally freed Hagrid from his awkward situation.

He looked at the boy gratefully and asked cheerfully, "Are you a freshman this year? I know you. Thank you for taking care of Milia for two days."

"Milia?"

"Yes, Miriam is that owl," Hagrid explained. "Thank you for the fish balls; it really likes them."

William glanced at Bobo Tea, and he was more inclined to believe that the owl had stolen it himself, but Silly Orange was still licking his paws and didn't notice.

"Then you—"

"Just call me Hagrid."

"Hagrid, could you perform some magic and show us?" William asked.

The best way to dispel parents' doubts is through magic, an unconventional power that would shock and fascinate any ordinary person.

"Oh, strictly speaking, I can't use magic, but..." Hagrid winked mischievously, "I'm doing this for work, Professor Dumbledore will understand."

As he spoke, he reached into his furry brown suit, fumbled around for a moment, and then pulled out a tattered pink umbrella.

Wait... why is it pink?

Who would have thought that behind Hagrid's tall and mighty appearance, there was actually a cute and adorable girlish heart hidden?

Hagrid gripped the umbrella in his large hand as if it were a toothpick, and exclaimed excitedly, "Don't blink! Now comes the moment to witness magic..."

He swung the umbrella sharply in the air and pointed it directly at the goldfish in the fish tank.

Suddenly, a violet flash and a firecracker-like sound appeared, and then the little goldfish transformed into a monster with the left half of a fish and the right half of a human.

Although the monster was only a finger's length long.

"Oh, wrong, it's not left and right, it's up and down," Hagrid muttered to himself, waving his small umbrella again.

This time, it transformed into a monster with the upper body of a fish and the lower body of a human.

William's eyelids twitched slightly. Was this the legendary mermaid?

Hagrid scratched his beard, his face flushed as if he'd been drinking fake alcohol.

He lied, saying, "That's what the mermaids in the Black Lake look like!"

William looked at him with suspicion.

Hagrid tugged at his beard and muttered in defense, "I'm not very good at Transfiguration. That's Professor McGonagall's area of ​​expertise. You can't expect me to be as good at Transfiguration as she is."

Actually, I'm a master at raising magical creatures!

William was skeptical, but Hagrid's half-baked shapeshifting still left Roy and Lyanna completely stunned.

Having received decades of corrupt education from society—or rather, from capitalism—their worldview has been completely overturned today.

If Hagrid hadn't been so large, Professor Lyanna would probably have sent him directly to the Cambridge laboratory for sectioning and research.

Roy, who has twenty years of medical experience, is also eager to see the wizard's teeth and see how they differ from those of ordinary humans.

In an instant, Hagrid became the most popular person in the Stark household.

Even Anne kept pestering Hagrid, wanting to see the magic of making people disappear.

Anne vowed that from now on she would write to Dumbledore seven times a week to ask if she could enroll!

As for Sherlock Holmes... he should just stay in the Himalayas and play in the mud.

Hagrid spent a pleasant afternoon tea at William's house.

In the blink of an eye, the Stark family had become his "dear old friends" in the Muggle world.

It wasn't until evening that Hagrid, beaming with joy, led William to Diagon Alley.

Neither Lyanna nor Anne went with them. Hagrid was simply too big; he took up the entire space behind the parking spot by himself.

Even so, it was still barely squeezed in.

Annie pouted and suggested softly, "Annie can squeeze into the trunk with Boba Tea."

But his father, Roy, directly rejected him.

The little girl started asking for gifts again, and William agreed, which calmed her down for a while.

Bobo Tea, the feline overlord, found a comfortable position, lay in William's arms, and glanced at Annie with her chin raised.

Ever since Annie was knocked off the sofa by the other party, in Bobo Tea's eyes, Annie has completely lost the right to pet it!

William, who can now go to the magical world, is its designated cat owner.

What an unparalleled and glorious honor!
