Harry Potter’s Book of Sin

Dumbledore's major mistake!

Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reported that the eccentric Abs Dumbledore, the principal of Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, has always dared to hire controversial teachers.

In September of this year, he hired Aristo, "Mad-Eye" Moody as the teacher of Defense Against the Dark Arts class. This decision surprised many people in the Ministry of Magic.

Moody is a notorious evil spirit. He used to be an Auror. As everyone knows, whenever someone moves suddenly in front of him, he will attack.

However, compared with the half-human and half-demon Dumbledore hired to teach the protection of magical creatures, Moody's Mad Eye was serious, responsible and kind.

The timeliness of this news in the Daily Prophet is very strong. The Christmas holiday has just passed, and the news that Hagrid has giant blood has been put on the headlines by Rita Skeeter.

She used sharp words to narrate a lot of harmful remarks about giants, and passed them on to Hagrid.In order to increase her persuasiveness, she even asked a student to do a small interview.

"I was attacked by a eagle-headed horse-winged beast. My friend Vincent Crabbe was bitten by a Flobber caterpillar." In the interview, a man named Draco Marr Fu’s fourth-grade student said, “We all hate Hagrid, but we dare not speak.”

Obviously, in the middle of the ball last night, it was not only the people who had eavesdropped on the conversation between Hagrid and Madam Maxim.

On the day the newspaper was published, Hagrid took time off, and the substitute professor was a witch named "Wilmina Grapland".

To be honest, no matter how she deals with magical creatures, at least her teaching level is indeed much better than Hagrid.She gave everyone a practical class related to beautiful unicorns. Those beautiful and pure creatures gave the students a very good impression.

But Harry and the others looked very anxious, they were fine the other day!Where is Hagrid?

When Professor Grapland brought the girls closer to the unicorns, Harry turned to Ron and said, "What do you think has happened to him? It won't be a snail-"

"Oh, Potter, if you are worried about this, I can tell you that he was not attacked," Malfoy said softly. "No, he was just too embarrassed to show his ugly face."

"What do you mean?" Harry asked sharply.

Malfoy reached into the pocket of his robe and pulled out a folded newspaper.

"Watch it for yourself." He said with a smug smile, "I really don't want to tell you this news, Potter..."

It was the headline article with a picture of Hagrid on it, and the look on his face looked sneaky.

"How did she find out?" Ron asked in a low voice.

But this was not what Harry had in mind.

"What do you mean?'We all hate Hagrid'?" Harry snapped Malfoy. "What kind of jerk is this," he pointed at Crabbe again. "He was brutally attacked by a Flobber caterpillar. Take a bite? They don't even have teeth!"

Crabbe smirked ho-ho, obviously feeling very proud.

"Okay, I think it's time to end this idiot's teaching career." Malfoy said, his eyes gleaming. "The half-blood giant... I thought he just drank a bottle of oxytocin when he was a kid... Parents don’t know how I promised... they were worried that he would eat their children, haha..."

"you--"

Soon it was time for get out of class again, and the girls returned with Professor Grapland.

"This class is really good." Hermione said as they walked into the auditorium, "I don't know half of what Professor Grapland told us about unicorns—"

"Look at this!" Harry roared angrily, stuffing the Daily Prophet article under Hermione's nose.

Hermione read the article and opened her mouth in surprise.Her reaction was exactly the same as Ron.

"How did Skeeter find out about that pesky woman? Hagrid told her?"

Recently, Ron and Hermione seemed to have reached a tacit understanding, and they both kept silent about their quarrel.Now they are very friendly to each other, but they are kind and unnatural.

Just a few days ago, they discussed the height of giants together.Hermione remembered that it was twenty feet in the book, but Harry remembered that Maca mentioned that it was thirty feet.

But today, they no longer have the time to discuss those issues.

"We must go and see him." Harry said, "Just tonight, after the divination class. Tell him we want him back...Do you want him back?" He asked Hermione coldly.

"I—oh, I don’t want to tell lies. It’s not bad to have a decent lesson on protecting magical creatures once in a while. It’s not bad to change my taste — but I do hope Hagrid will come back, of course I do!” Hermione was taken by Harina. The angry look frightened, he added hastily.

So, after dinner that day, the three of them left the castle again, walked through the snow-covered grounds, and walked towards Hagrid’s hut-they wanted to go with Maca, but who knows, Maca doesn't. Where did it go.

When they came to the door of Hagrid's cabin, Harry knocked on the door, and Ya Ya's low barking sounded immediately behind the door.

"Hagrid, it's us!" Harry shouted, slamming the door hard. "Open it!"

Hagrid did not answer.They could hear Yafang scratching the door and whispering, but the door did not open.They knocked hard for more than ten minutes.Ron even knocked on a window in the past, but there was no answer.

This time, Hagrid seemed to be unable to come out.

"I always think that Maca should be in it right now..." Harry couldn't help but turn around. "He always does this. Every time he pops up in the most critical place, it scares us all. jump."

But unfortunately, Maca is really not here this time.

According to the news in the Daily Prophet, he knew that he even saw Rita Skeeter in the form of Animagus that night, but he didn't mean to prevent this episode from happening.

Hogwarts needs a little chaos right now—if the water is too clear, no hand would be willing to reach in to catch the fish.

Of course, the premise is that Skeeter does not lead the flames to him...

At least for now, Maca’s warning to Rita Skeeter is still very useful, as can be seen from the fact that Maca’s name has not even appeared in news reports.

While Harry and the others were worried about Hagrid, Maca walked alone in a certain alley in Hogsmeade Village.

"coming?"

Just ahead, in a dark corner, a figure who couldn't see his face suddenly spoke.

"Tarino, how is the situation?" Maca asked calmly.

"The target of this mission is not easy to deal with," the person whispered, "Up to now, several targets have been lost-but what is certain is that their actions are still very cautious, and the distance is obvious. It's still a while!"

"Very well, continue to stare..." Maca said, and suddenly handed out the box he was holding. "These things you take away are all useful things-keep an eye on the movement of the target. No clues will be missed as much as possible."

The figure took the suitcase, opened it slightly and took a look, then closed the suitcase firmly.

"Seriously, these potions of yours are almost spoiling us..." He said smoothly. "The old folks in charge of those key targets have said that with these supplies, tracking is easier than taking a walk. "

"During the mission, I won't ask you for a copper nat for these expenses, don't save it," Maca waved his hand, "As long as the mission is completed well, I can give you more."

"Just say this to you, next time there is a task, we will give you a half discount!"

The two quickly finished talking, and left each, as if nothing had happened here just now.

Time passed quickly, and it was already mid-January in a blink of an eye.

The classmates are all going to Hogsmeade Village to play, and Harry wants to go too. He thinks maybe he will meet Hagrid there, so that he has the opportunity to persuade him to come back.

But Hermione disagreed, because the problems left by the first event of the Triwizard Tournament are still waiting for them!The box was very depressing, and Hermione had been studying it, but she didn't expect a good idea to open it.

"I intend to take this opportunity to think about it, I think you should do the same!" She persuaded Harry seriously, "Remember? We have to complete the task!"

In fact, Dumbledore didn't set up a complicated question about how to open the box.To open them, you just need to find the right place-this only tests the warriors' mobility and their understanding of ancient runes.

The places where you can open the four boxes are different, but all are within the scope of the school.

For example, Maca’s snow-white ice box, he only needs to go to the Hogwarts ice cellar, and he can easily find the rune altar for opening the box.

This kind of magic mechanism utilizes the combination and substitution characteristics of Runes-none of them exist independently, each of them can be replaced by other runes and obtain another completely different effect.

But how can Maca have time to find an altar?

He drew a few simple runes by himself and completed the rune replacement easily.

When the ice box in front of Maca suddenly burst into blue flames, the lid of the box opened automatically...

There is an irreplaceable clue in each box, which will become the real goal of each warrior in the upcoming second event of the Triwizard Tournament.

"Dumbledore is really not too big of a problem..." Maca muttered, looking at the contents of the box.
