The first White Lord of Hogwarts - Chapter 54
Soon, it was five minutes to three in the afternoon, and the four of them left the castle and walked across the grounds to Hagrid’s residence.
Hagrid lived in a small wooden house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest. There was a crossbow and a pair of rubber boots in front of the door.
When Harry knocked on the door, they heard a tense struggle and a few low barks from the house, and then Hagrid’s voice
“”Stand back, Fang, stand back.”
Hagrid opened the door a crack, revealing his big bearded face.
Hagrid was surprised to see four little wizards standing at the door.
But thinking that Harry could make friends at Hogwarts, Hagrid immediately smiled with relief.
“Wait a minute”
“”Stand back, Fang.”
He let the four people in, desperately grabbing the collar of a huge black hound.
The cabin had only one room.
Hams and pheasants were hung on the ceiling, and a copper kettle was boiling water in the brazier. In the corner was a large bed with a patchwork of rags on it.
“You’re welcome.”
Hagrid said, letting Fang go.
Fang immediately jumped towards Ron and licked his ear.
Like Hagrid, Fang was obviously not as ferocious as it looked.
“This is Ron.”
Harry introduced Hagrid to his first friend at Hogwarts.
“Another Weasley brother?”
Hagrid said, glancing at Ron’s freckled face,”I have spent almost half my life chasing the twins out of the Forbidden Forest.”
On the other side, Hermione behaved like a lady behind the door.
She did not mind the mess of Hagrid’s hut, and sat on the round stool prepared by Hagrid very naturally, and then waited obediently for the busy Hagrid to bring the rock cakes and tea.
“Oh, a cute little witch.”
Hagrid laughed and said,”Don’t be shy, this is not Professor McGonagall’s classroom.”
“Be more natural, Hermione.”
Ivan looked around Hagrid’s room, his eyes sweeping over the random piles of things that seemed like junk:”Aren’t you curious about what’s in the Forbidden Forest? Hagrid is an expert on the Forbidden Forest. No one in Hogwarts knows the Forbidden Forest better than him.”
“Haha!”
Hagrid found that Ivan was very much to his liking:”I remember you, the little guy who could cast his own spells right after entering school. I have never seen such a talented little wizard like you.”
Ivan accepted Hagrid’s praise. He took in the objects around him and exclaimed:”Hagrid, how did you do that?”
“I mean, these things.”
Everyone looked at what Ivan pointed at. Harry and Ron were confused.
Hermione was also confused because she only saw a room full of garbage.
“You guys…”
Ivan shook his head helplessly. He sat next to Hermione and picked up the milk tea prepared by Hagrid.
When he just entered Hagrid’s hut, Ivan felt the fluctuation of magic power around him.
He used his magic eye to scan it casually.
Wow, a room full of precious magic materials.
Not to mention anything else, just the animal skin used by Hagrid as a carpet came from a unicorn.
You know, a unicorn’s tail hair is worth 10 gold galleons.
Although this carpet is not all unicorn tail hair, it also has a strong alchemical value.
It is no exaggeration to say that with this room full of magic materials, Hagrid is definitely one of the richest people in Hogwarts.
“Is there anything you like here, little Ivan?”
Hagrid was very happy that Ivan had such insight. He happily shared his love and passion for magical animals with Ivan.
Similarly, Hagrid also said that Ivan could use whatever he liked in this room.
In response, Ivan naturally declined politely.
The things are good, but you can’t accept them without merit.
It is said that the most difficult thing to repay is favors.
What’s more, Ivan really doesn’t need these precious magic materials now.
“That’s a shame.”
Hagrid really didn’t care about that, but since Ivan refused, he wouldn’t persuade him anymore.
In the following time, Hagrid sold his special rock cakes to the four people while listening to the four little wizards talk about their life in the first week of school.
When they first arrived at Hogwarts, everyone encountered a lot of new and interesting things.
Harry told Hagrid about Snape’s class.
Hagrid, like Ron, told Harry not to worry because Snape had hardly ever liked any student.
“But he seems to really hate me.”
“Nonsense!”
Hagrid:”Why should he hate you?”
But Harry always felt that Hagrid was deliberately avoiding his gaze when he said this.
“How’s your brother Charlie?”
Seeing that Harry wanted to continue asking questions, Hagrid quickly changed the subject to Ron:”I like him very much – he has a lot of ways with animals.”
“”Crack!”
Ivan struggled with the rock cake for a while, and finally found that it was indeed not suitable as food. It was hard to chew and it couldn’t be soaked.
He didn’t understand what Hagrid’s purpose was in making this?
This thing was so hard that it could be used to build a wall.
“Ivan.
Seeing the little witch looking at him for help, Ivan glanced at Hagrid, who was focusing all his attention on Ron, and moved his fingers slightly.
The next moment, the rock cakes in their hands immediately became smaller, and then under the effect of the levitation spell, all fell into Ivan’s pocket.
“！！！”
Harry saw this, his emerald eyes were filled with pleading.
Ivan smiled helplessly and helped Harry solve the rock cake problem.
Because the topic was his brother Charlie, Ron did not notice the little movements of the three people.
So, only Ron’s injured world was completed.
“Oh!”
Soon, Hagrid found the empty plate:”You, you actually…”
He was so excited.
In all these years, Hagrid had never met anyone who loved rock cakes as much as he did.
“”What?”
Ron was confused. He didn’t know what happened.
In just a few words, Ivan and his friends had already broken three plates of rock cakes?
“I knew it, I knew someone would like it!”
Hagrid’s eyes filled with tears, as if he had found a close friend:”You must not be full, right?”
“I’ll get some for you.”
Looking at Hagrid’s attitude, he might stuff all the rock biscuits into their mouths today. Ivan, Hermione, and Harry said in unison,”No, we’re full!””
“Really?”
Hagrid said that he didn’t have much else here, but he would definitely have enough rock cakes.
“Really!”
Harry:”I, hiccup, we really can’t eat anymore.”
This time, even Hermione nodded in agreement.
She lied.
But if you don’t lie about rock cakes, do you really have to eat them?
“Hagrid, what is this?”
To prevent Hagrid from continuing the topic of rock cakes, Harry found a small piece of paper under the teapot warmer. It was a report cut from the Daily Prophet.
《Latest Report on Gringotts Break
-in Investigations into the July 31 break-in at Gringotts are still ongoing and it is generally believed that it was the work of an unknown Dark wizard.
The goblins at Gringotts reiterated today that nothing was stolen and that the underground vault searched by the intruders had in fact been emptied earlier that day.
A spokesman for the Gringotts goblins said this afternoon:”We have no comment on what is in the vault and we hope you will not interfere.”
Harry remembered that Ron had told him on the train that someone had tried to rob Gringotts, but Ron had not told him the exact date.
“Hagrid!”
Harry said,”The day the break-in happened was my birthday, and it’s very likely that we were there when it happened!”
Ivan knew that Voldemort wanted to steal the Philosopher’s Stone, so he broke into Gringotts to steal.
He calmly drank a sip of milk tea and showed no interest in the matter.
Hermione saw his reaction.
The little witch, who was already familiar with Ivan’s habits, immediately realized that this report was not that simple.
She just sat down obediently without saying a word.
“Oh, just a little thing.” (To read the exciting novel, go to Faloo Novel Network!)
Hagrid was perfunctory throughout the whole process, obviously not wanting to reveal any information about the Philosopher’s Stone.
After leaving Hagrid’s hut, the four walked back to the castle for dinner.
Their pockets were filled with rock biscuits.
Out of politeness, they were embarrassed to refuse.
Along the way, Harry behaved very quietly.[]
Obviously, he was still thinking about the theft at Gringotts.
In addition, Harry felt that Hagrid must know something about Snape, but for some reason he didn’t want to tell him.
“Ivan.”
Suddenly, Harry saw Ivan walking in front of him, holding hands with Hermione.
At this moment, Harry seemed to see the hope of solving the mystery.
Yes.
He couldn’t understand, that was because he was not smart enough.
But Ivan and Hermione, they were recognized as the smartest first-year wizards!
Harry never thought he was great.
It was normal for him not to understand some difficult problems and troublesome things.
If he didn’t understand, he could ask. There happened to be two omniscient little wizards in front of him, so why hesitate?
“What’s wrong, Harry?”
Ivan smiled and turned around. He knew Harry had doubts in his heart.
It’s just that some things are not suitable for him to talk about.
Harry did not hide his thoughts and told the three people present everything about Hagrid’s going to the 713 vault to get something that day.
The smell of trouble!
Hermione’s excellent sixth sense detected trouble.
She was indeed very brave and eager to prove that she was no worse than other wizards.
It’s just that this matter involves Dumbledore, and the little witch doesn’t think she has the ability to get involved in such a big thing.
“So, Harry?”
Ivan could see that Harry trusted him very much.
He really regarded him and others as friends.
“What do you want to know?”
Harry looked at Ivan with a mysterious smile. He was stunned for a moment, then asked:”I…”
He wanted to ask what was in the vault, why someone would steal it, and whether it was safe now.
But then he thought, what does this have to do with him?
After being pointed out by Ivan, Harry immediately realized his own weight. This was not something he could get involved in.
“I want to know, why is Snape so against me?”
Compared to the treasure in vault 713, Harry felt that this matter was more important and had a real connection with him………..
“”Aha…”
Ivan nodded slightly. He was very satisfied with Harry’s self-awareness.
According to Ivan’s plan, the young wizards at Hogwarts are an extremely important talent reserve and a loyal team that can truly cultivate feelings.
Hermione is of course the future Minister of Magic.
Neville, the Gryffindor Sword Master and the Hogwarts Herbology Professor, has great potential.
There is also Harry and Luna who has not yet enrolled.
Especially Harry Potter, he definitely has the potential to be independent.
If you ask who among these young wizards can charge for Ivan in the future, Harry is the one who can lead the attack and fire the first shot.
After all, no young wizard can tie with Voldemort in the 4th grade and kill the most terrifying dark wizard in England in the 7th grade.
Plot killing and Dumbledore’s calculations.
These must have happened.
But Harry can do all these, which undoubtedly proves his talent.
Hermione is Ivan’s think tank, and Harry is a fierce general.
Now is the time when the two are the most ignorant, and Ivan can act in advance and recruit the two to his team.
Well, Hermione has been recruited.
Next, it’s Harry’s turn.
“I do know something.”
Ivan winked at Harry and said,”You know, I am a natural prophet Magus and can see certain scenes in the future.”
“But this description is not complete”
“In fact, it’s not just the future.”
Hearing this, Harry’s eyes suddenly lit up:”Ivan, can you even see the past?”
“Yes.”
Ivan nodded:”Although they are only some extremely fragmentary fragments, they must be extremely important to a person, equivalent to a turning point in fate.”
“But I did see some very interesting scenes.”
These words were not Ivan’s deception to Harry, but the truth.
After his soul attribute broke through 5 points, Ivan’s control over the prophecy became more handy.
He could watch the past and future of anyone at any time as needed. He could also predict the crises that would be encountered in the future, or even ways to avoid some bad luck, just like making a wish.
Destiny is an extremely terrifying force in this world.
Ivan had said before that the results of the prophecy would definitely happen and could not be changed.
However, being unable to change does not mean that it cannot be avoided.
For example, Ivan saw that Harry would fall from the magic stairs.
He could not change this, it was destined to happen.
But the fall was just a process, and its follow-up, results, and even the cause of the fall were all unknown.
In this way, Ivan had a lot of room for maneuver.
For example, let Harry perform a scene in the prophecy himself and deliberately fall.
Or after Harry fell, Ivan cast a floating spell to catch him.
This is to supplement the cause and effect to exploit the loopholes in the prophecy, turning something that is obviously bad into a farce and a small trouble.
“The past is already determined, but the future can still be negotiated.”
Ivan didn’t care whether Harry could understand or not. He just summarized his understanding of the magic of prophecy and destiny since 4.4.
“Ivan, what did you see?”
“Snape met a girl”
“Before entering Hogwarts, they were best friends.”
Ivan only told Harry what he saw, and did not tell him the identity of the girl:”Later, Snape was sorted into Slytherin, and the girl went to Gryffindor, and the relationship between the two became distant.”
The three children listened to Ivan’s story carefully, and were very curious about the girl’s identity.
Although they were young, they understood Snape’s gossip almost immediately.
“What happened next?”
The three little ones couldn’t imagine that someone like Snape would actually have someone he liked.
“Later…”
Ivan did not say it directly, but looked into Harry’s eyes:”The girl got together with another man and had a child with him.”
At this point, Ivan’s hint was obvious.
“Snape, you like my mother?”
Harry was confused. He originally just wanted to eat Snape’s melon, but he didn’t expect to eat himself in the end.
“But why?”
Hermione didn’t understand. Since Snape liked Harry’s mother, why did he target Harry?
Was it because of love turning into hate?
“Well…”
Ivan felt that he had said enough.
Although he could directly show the predicted scene through glass, crystal balls and other reflective objects, so that the three little ones could see what happened more directly.
But it was about Snape’s privacy. Ivan would not do such a ridiculous thing without the consent of the person concerned.
Joking was one thing, and Harry did have the right to know.
So Ivan told Harry about Lily.
But Snape’s dark history, such as being almost bitten by Lupin and turned into a werewolf, being bullied by the four people who took the initiative to cause trouble with the fuchsia bell, and finally hugging Lily’s body and vowing to protect Harry, etc.
