Chapter 690 It’s all Malfoy’s fault
“I hate your bad mouth.”
Lee Jordan looked at the Flobber caterpillar in front of him, and a mask of pain gradually appeared on his face.
As Albert said, that little idiot Malfoy successfully destroyed Hagrid's confidence in teaching, and by the way ruined the Care of Magical Creatures class. Apart from the first lesson of the term, Hagrid's classes have become very boring, and all the students need to learn how to take care of Flobber caterpillars!
"Why do we have to bother taking care of these bugs? O.W.Ls doesn't test this stuff." Fred looked angrily at the Slytherin students who were gathering together and whispering, as if they were thinking about how to ruin their classes. Guy looking for some trouble.
"I hope Albert can cheer up Hagrid, otherwise I doubt that our Care of Magical Creatures O.W.Ls exam will be over." George looked at Albert, who was talking to Hagrid, and said all Their hopes are pinned on their little friends.
"Are you okay?" Albert looked at the lonely and embarrassed Hagrid in front of him and said softly, "I have already heard about what happened yesterday."
"fine,"
This word seemed to be forced out of Hagrid's throat, and he said hoarsely, "I should have followed your advice instead of **** up the first lesson like I did now."
“Okay, cheer up, this is just a small setback you encountered after becoming the Professor of Care of Magical Creatures.” Albert comforted softly.
“…You put it nicely, but it’s not you…”
Albert looked at the lonely-looking big boy and couldn't help but sigh softly. Feeling helpless at Hagrid's fragile heart, he asked again: "Should Harry have brought my words to you yesterday, right?"
"Last night, I drank some wine, and when Harry came...well, I took him back to the castle in a hurry." Hagrid's memory of last night was a little blurry.
he's drunk.
"They are so unreliable!" Albert muttered in a low voice, raising his hand to signal Hagrid to be quiet for a while and listen to what he had to say: "Actually, you don't have to worry about being expelled at all, Professor Dumbledore will help you sort it out. this matter."
“I don’t want to give…”
"No, don't say that again, you've already caused trouble for Professor Dumbledore." Albert looked at Hagrid with a stern look. After the latter looked at Albert, his body shrank slightly, seeming to be a little afraid of Albert's gaze.
"They will investigate you, but Professor Dumbledore will vouch for you, and you may have to go to the Wizarding Court next..."
“Wizard’s Court.” Hagrid’s voice was trembling slightly.
"Don't worry, Professor Dumbledore will help you solve the problem at the Ministry of Magic." Albert's tone was very calm, as if he was talking about a trivial matter.
“So, I’ll be fine?” Hagrid asked, blinking.
"Yes, you will be fine." Albert said seriously: "So, if they ask you, you have to insist that Draco Malfoy did not listen to advice, violated classroom discipline, violated safety regulations, anyway, everything It's all Malfoy's own fault and has nothing to do with you. If they tell you a bunch of nonsense, you just have to reply: Why is Malfoy injured when everyone else is fine? It's because he broke the rules and got himself injured. It's hurt. In fact, you should confine Malfoy."
"But…"
"There is no but, anyway, put the problem and responsibility on Malfoy," Albert reminded, "In fact, this matter is Malfoy's own problem, isn't it?"
"this…"
Hagrid couldn’t believe what he had just heard.
"Yes, that's it. But, I always feel..." Hagrid still lacks confidence, which is a common problem for most people when facing authoritative institutions.
Albert took out a bottle of potion from his pocket and handed it to Hagrid, "Someday, if you have to go to court or be questioned, remember to drink some of this stuff. If the dose is not enough, you can go to Madam Pomfrey for more."
"What's this?"
“Tranquilizer,” Albert said calmly. “Panic never solves a problem.”
“Does this thing really work?”
“Try the effect!” Albert handed the medicine bottle to Hagrid and asked, “What did I just tell you?”
Hagrid took a sip of the tranquilizer, thought for a while and replied, "Malfoy didn't listen to the advice and violated the safety rules, so he got injured."
“What else?” Albert continued to ask.
"Why is it that Malfoy was injured when everyone else was fine? Because he disobeyed advice and violated safety rules."
"As long as you memorize these two sentences, it will be fine." Albert reminded: "Don't talk unnecessary nonsense, because you will always be led by the nose. You don't have to quibble, just listen quietly and wait. If they ask you to speak, just answer them with those two sentences. With Dumbledore here, the Ministry of Magic will not dare to put you in Azkaban again, because you have already been imprisoned twice innocently."
“Is this really okay?” Hagrid asked.
"As long as you don't forget to drink the sedative, you'll be fine." Albert warned before leaving, "And don't let the people at the Ministry of Magic know that you drank the sedative."
“I don’t know.” Albert shook his head.
“You actually have no confidence.”
"I can only say that I have said everything that needs to be said. The rest depends on when Hagrid can get out of the shadow in his heart." Albert said calmly.
“What did you tell Hagrid?”
"I told Hagrid it was all Malfoy's fault, and if anyone asked, tell him so."
“Is this really okay?”
"No problem." Albert said, "Malfoy didn't listen to his advice and injured himself. Can you blame Hagrid?"
Three of them all felt that what Albert said was very reasonable and that this was indeed the case, but could such words really convince others?
"No, because nothing Hagrid says is of any use. This matter needs to be solved by Professor Dumbledore." Albert said lightly, "This is politics."
The weather was cold and windy. After the four people finished their Care of Magical Creatures lesson, they were walking along the dead grass **** towards the castle. Scattered raindrops fell on them, making several of them shiver.
“It’s so cold, **** it.”
"It's caused by dementors. You have to pay some attention to the patron saint. This spell is very important." Albert reminded.
"Very important?"
"Yes, it is very important. The Patron Saint Curse has always been associated with wizards who fight for noble causes." Albert calmly told the news he knew: "It is said that those wizards who can summon the physical Patron Saint often Elevated to high office in the Wizengamot and the Ministry of Magic."
“I think this statement is a bit nonsense.”
“Perhaps, we should suggest that Percy practice the Patronus Charm.” George complained, “That guy has always been ambitious and wanted to become a high-ranking official in the Ministry of Magic.”
"The main reason is that most evil wizards cannot summon the Patronus." Albert continued, "And the Patronus Charm is widely regarded as a "particularly advanced" spell, and is used by many qualified wizards and witches. You will encounter difficulties every time you use it. If you can use it skillfully, it means that you are a wizard with integrity and powerful magical power."
"It seems to make sense." Hearing what Albert said, the three of them felt that they needed to work harder.
"Well, you didn't complain about using spells to judge whether a person is upright." Albert himself complained first, "But it is undeniable that the Patronus Charm can indeed delete most dark wizards."
The three of them looked at Albert a little speechlessly.
Albert said mysteriously: "I'll tell you a secret secretly."
“What secret?” the three asked casually.
"If you can let the examiner know that you can summon a physical guardian spirit during the O.W.Ls exam, he will definitely be willing to give you high marks."
“It sounds good, but...”
The three of them looked at each other, feeling that it was too difficult to gather a physical guardian spirit.
However, they decided to put more effort into the patron saint
Although the twins don’t care much about their grades, it would be great if they could get an excellent score in the Defense Against the Dark Arts exam.
"By the way, we plan to test the effect of magical candies on Malfoy." Fred said excitedly about his plan to harm Malfoy. "We have invented many candies that can make people suffer from various diseases. , but there are still some side effects.”
"That thing is not safe yet." George frowned and reminded: "I think we can use the candy invented based on the bowel cleansing pills last time to deal with Malfoy, but it must be done after this incident is over, and we have plenty of opportunities to cause trouble for him. "
“How many special-effect candies have you made now?” Albert had never cared much about Weasley’s development research.
"Three kinds." Fred excitedly introduced to Albert, "Floating, calm, happy, laughing, sad, fat tongue, face change, fever, diarrhea, nosebleeds, coma, vomiting, and swelling, these I got the inspiration from Harry."
“However, most of the candies are still in the testing stage.” George reminded.
"There will only be more and more candies with various effects in the future. Candies can be divided into three categories: skipping candies, joke candies and special effect candies." Albert asked again, "Which type of candies currently have the most stable effect?"
"We still have a lot of syrup from the sad bugs there." Fred blinked and said, "Maybe we can add them to Slytherin's jam or honey," a group of Slytherin students looked sad collectively. It’s going to be fun for sure.”
“You prodigal son, the price of heartbreak bug syrup is not cheap.” George cursed in a low voice, and they bought a can and used it till now. "I think making his **** sparkle is a good choice, and we are only targeting Malfoy. If too many people are affected, Snape will definitely search for the culprit and cause trouble for us. Moreover, the extract of Mortera rat is comparable to Heartworm syrup is much cheaper.”
"I think George's method is more interesting." Li Jordan asked, "If the dose of the medicine is increased, can it make Malfoy afraid to squat on the toilet? It would be better if it can make Malfoy fart loudly in the hall. I I think he will be remembered by countless students.”
"I'm afraid not." George shook his head. "And Snape or Madam Pomfrey can solve these problems."
“Be clean when you do it, don’t let them get hold of it, and it’s best not to know that it’s you who are doing the trick.” Albert warned, “otherwise, don’t take the risk.”
