Chapter 279 The fate of Hagrid and Harry
Chapter 279 The fate of Hagrid and Harry
On a stormy night, there was an overwhelming number of owls coming to deliver letters.
Everyone was overwhelmed by letters, and at the most critical moment, the giant, although huge, had a "kind" smile on his face.
All this shocked Harry Potter to his heart.
More importantly, no one has ever remembered Harry's birthday in 11 years.
Although the giant in front of him arrived a day late, Harry didn't care about this small flaw at all. He just stared deeply at the cake box in front of him and the letter on it.
After all, this was the first time someone celebrated Harry’s birthday, and it was also the first birthday cake Harry received in his life!
Rarely, Harry hesitated.
Whether it is opening the cake immediately or opening the long-awaited letter under the protection of the "giant" in front of you, it is a choice that a normal child should make.
But Harry didn't. He just stared blankly at the tall weirdo in front of him. This man had a full beard, but his expression didn't look ferocious at all. He even had a hint of "kindness" besides his "kind" demeanor. Cute and cute.
Harry must remember this big man. This person was the first person in Harry's life who made him feel safe. He was a person who was truly good to him.
"Can you tell me your name?" Harry's eyes flickered. He wanted to remember the name of this person who had special meaning to him.
"Me?" The giant man scratched his head and said naively, "My name is Rubeus Hagrid. Nice to meet you, Harry."
"Okay, it's time to read the letters sent to you by Principal Dumbledore and Vice Principal McGonagall."
"Dumbledore? Do you know the name of the person who sent me the letter? What kind of person is he?" Harry asked three times, causing Hagrid to be stunned.
"Dumbley is such a... great man. Well, you will understand after reading the letter."
Uncle Vernon crawled out from the corner and shouted loudly: "No! You can't look! Whether it's you or that damn Dumbledore, you are all 'monsters'!"
He pointed in the direction of Harry and Hagrid and growled.
"You monster, get out of here, get out of here!
And Harry Potter, you scumbag, your monster mother married into a monster family. If we hadn't given you a bite to eat, you would have become a little punk on the street.
You should obey all our instructions honestly as a reward for us raising you all these years. "
Harry was speechless for a moment. Although the Dursleys were not kind to him, they had indeed raised him for so many years. Should he obey their orders?
Vernon was still talking, but Hagrid saw their child, the surprisingly fat pig, swooping towards Harry from the wall, with the target being held in Harry's arms. cake box.
"Mine, that's mine!" Fat pig Dally shouted in an extremely useless voice, preparing to snatch the box of birthday cakes from Harry's hand that Hagrid had carefully guarded all the way.
"You stupid pig - don't even think about it!" Hagrid raised his hand and the delicate pink umbrella in his hand shook. Harry's cousin Dally - the stupid pig was instantly knocked away.
The moment Dudley got up, the Dursleys screamed in shock, because their beloved son - although he was a little fat, but still cute - had finally turned into a stupid pig.
Thanks to Li Fei, Hagrid's magic level in this life has improved a lot compared to the original work.
Professor McGonagall personally performs this human transformation technique. It is estimated that Dali will instantly turn into a fat white pig, and he can instantly recover as long as McGonagall has a thought.
It's a pity that the person who uses this curse is Hagrid, a "dabbler".
If it were Hagrid in the original work, he would probably have been able to conjure a pig tail behind Dali's butt.
But in this life, Hagrid, after undergoing special training from Li Fei, was able to deform nearly one-third of Dali's body, so the Dali in front of him looked like a pig with a pig tail, a pig butt, and a back. A "pig demon" with two plump pig trotters on its legs.
Of course, Hagrid was still an idiot on how to quickly restore human body transformation, and Li Fei had basically given up hope.
The Dursleys screamed and ran over to see their child, and Harry was also stunned by Hagrid's "magic".
Hagrid looked down at the umbrella and smoothed his beard.
"I shouldn't be angry," Hagrid said angrily, "But it still didn't work out. I originally wanted to turn him into a pig, but maybe he was already too much like a pig, so there was no need to change anything. "
"What is this? Are you a super warrior?" Harry tried his best to recall the plot he had recalled from the comic books he had peeked at Dali.
"No, I am a wizard. We are the same person. Harry, you will also be a wizard in the future, a wizard much more powerful than me."
"Can I also become a wizard?" Harry couldn't believe it when he heard the news. If he learned this magical power, the Dursleys would no longer be able to bully him unscrupulously.
"Of course, I'm here to deliver the admission letter to you. Anyway, let's read the letter first."
Hagrid was really not good at explaining. The Dursleys in the distance were crying and running to another room in the house holding the "pig demon" Dally.
In fact, this room is really not a good place for chatting. After all, the massive amount of letters just now completely destroyed the dilapidated roof of the house.
If it were other wizards, perhaps a simple "restoration" would be able to repair the roof. Unfortunately, Hagrid's half-giant bloodline not only affects his character and aesthetics, but also the powerful magic resistance brings negative talents in magic. It's affecting Hagrid.
With Li Fei's help, at least Hagrid would have no problem using some magic spells like "Clean up", but spells like "Restore as before" that require careful operation are still a problem for Hagrid. Harder than reaching the sky.
Hagrid also wanted to take Harry to other rooms, but he really didn't want to face the noisy Dursley family again, so he took out a bag made of African viper skin from his arms, and put it inside I rummaged through it again and again.
"Well, I found it." Hagrid found a delicate little cloth bag filled with various charms, "This is it, the [Dome Curse] is a must-have in the wild, hehe."
As Hagrid tapped the yellow talisman paper with the tip of the little red umbrella, the talisman paper instantly decomposed and spread, forming a huge pale golden dome. At the same time, the temperature and humidity in the space suddenly became extremely Comfortable, Harry's originally wet body began to become dry and comfortable.
"Wow, is this your magic too, Hagrid?"
Young Harry was curious about everything he saw. He looked left and right through the pale golden barrier. He tried to touch it with his fingertips, but he retracted his hand. He didn't dare to touch it.
"This is not my magic, this is a magic prop given to me by a friend. Well, let me see how to turn off this dazzling color..."
As he spoke, Hagrid bent down and found an "instruction manual" from the ashes of the talisman. On it, Li Fei explained various methods of handling various situations in as simple and detailed a manner as possible.
"Let me see... shake left, swing right, turn around, click... OK."
Finally closing the dazzling bright yellow, Hagrid motioned for Harry to read the letter.
Harry tore the envelope open with trembling hands and finally saw the letter.
This letter was enough to change his fate.
[The content of the letter is omitted, there is no need to be verbose. 】
For those who don’t know the original work, please let me summarize the content of the letter in one sentence:
[Vice Principal McGonagall writes in her own hand: The great Principal Dumbledore has allowed Mr. Harry Potter to enter Hogwarts. We are waiting for your owl's reply. The second page is a list of books and materials you need to purchase. 】
"What is Hogwarts?" Harry asked.
"Hogwarts is the best wizarding school in the world, and Dumbledore is the headmaster of this school."
"Hagrid, did you also graduate from this school?"
Hagrid patted his chest: "Of course I was once a student of Hogwarts."
But there was one thing that Hagrid didn't say completely. Although he was once a student of Hogwarts, he was expelled from the school midway.
"Then I'll go too." In Harry's mind, since a powerful wizard like Hagrid was once a student of this school, this "Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry" must be extraordinary.
"It's just that the letter said that I am expecting a reply from my owl, but I don't have an owl. What should I do?"
"Oh, I almost forgot." As he said this, Hagrid took out an owl from the pocket of his otter coat, yes, a real, live, and furry owl.
At the same time, he took out a long quill pen and a roll of parchment.
He licked the quill with the tip of his tongue and hurriedly wrote a note. Harry saw the note from the opposite side and read:
[Dear Mr. Dumbledore: I have given the letter to Harry and will take him to buy things for school tomorrow. The weather is terrible.
I wish you well. 】
Hagrid rolled up the note, put it in the owl's mouth, passed through the invisible barrier, and released the owl into the storm.
Then he came back and sat down again, as if everything was as normal as a phone call.
Harry found himself keeping his mouth open and quickly closed it.
"You...you have helped me so much, what can I do for you?"
Harry asked cautiously. In his simple values, people are the Dursleys. If they treat you well, they must want to get something from you.
"I would thank you if you never mentioned this to anyone at Hogwarts," Hagrid said, "I...technically speaking, I have been banned from using spells for many years.
I'm only allowed to use a little bit when I'm looking for you or sending you a letter... This is one of the reasons why I enthusiastically took up this job. "
"Why aren't you allowed to do magic?" Harry asked.
"Oh, that's right, I went to Hogwarts myself, but, to be honest with you, I... I was expelled.
I was in third grade, and they broke my wand, took everything else away, and they even tried to kick me out of school.
But Dumbledore asked me to stay and look after the hunting grounds. What a great man he was. "
"Why were you fired?"
"It's too late. We still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." Hagrid said loudly, "We have to go to the city to buy you books and other things tomorrow morning."
"Eat some cake, don't forget, today is your birthday."
"No matter what hardships you have experienced before, happy birthday, Harry, the days to come will be better and better."
"Thank you, Hagrid." Harry opened the box. Inside was an exquisite chocolate black forest cake with yellow and black patterns carefully painted on it.
"Li Fei, that little bastard," Hagrid scolded with a smile, "I knew he had no good intentions. He even gave Harry a cake with Hufflepuff colors on it. He also disliked Hufflepuff's excellent little wizard. Not enough?"
"Li Fei? Hufflepuff?" Harry was confused again. He heard too many novel words tonight.
"It's nothing. Li Fei is a friend of mine and a senior who is one year older than you. He is enthusiastic and you will definitely become friends."
"What's wrong with Hufflepuff? I just heard you say, isn't Hufflepuff good?"
"No, on the contrary, Hufflepuff is very good. The students in their college are friendly, upright, enthusiastic, and kind. They are a very good group of people."
"Then you just said that he had no good intentions..."
Hagrid scratched his head and thought about how to word it so as not to misunderstand Harry: "Li Fei is a very nice person, but he is a little too keen on guiding outstanding students to Hufflepuff House.
And all of us know that Harry, your parents are both Gryffindor students, and you will definitely be an excellent Gryffindor in the future. "
"Gryffindor." The young Harry Potter muttered the word and did not continue to ask.
"Oh, right."
Hagrid rummaged through the snakeskin bag again, and finally found a birthday candle in the corner that Li Fei had specially asked Hagrid to bring.
It was an extremely exquisite candle. When Hagrid put the candle on the cake, the candle was automatically lit, and a phantom emerged. It was a snow-white owl, flying and soaring in the sky against the dark clouds and thunder!
There was even the background sound of "Hegerwig Variations" in the air. Then the weather cleared up and mini-fireworks shot into the sky. A lion, an eagle, and a badger appeared in the sky. The badger's mouth was extremely strange. Holding a snake in his mouth in a playful manner.
The venomous snake struggled to get out of the badger's mouth, and then the four animals sang "Happy Birthday" in unison, and "Welcome to Hogwarts" appeared in squiggles in the sky.
Harry was stunned, his poor brain could not imagine that magic could do this.
It was already late into the night after sharing nearly half of the cake with Hagrid.
Hagrid took off his black pea coat and threw it to Harry.
"You can sleep under this cover." He said, "The time is not convenient today. When you come to school, I will definitely invite you to my small house as a guest. My house is quite big.
Just hold on tonight, if something moves in my coat, it doesn't matter. I think there seems to be two dormice in one of the pockets, which are the gifts I plan to give to Li Fei. "
PS: Everyone has watched the Spring Festival Gala.
There is a joke, it is not true, but I saw it and invite everyone to have fun together.
There was a comment on the Spring Festival Gala barrage: My mother pointed at Yi Yang Qianxi, Li Yuchun, and Deng Chao, and asked me how tfboys grew up like this...
In addition, these days are really frustrating. Jiang Kun is on New Year's Eve, the men's football team is in the first grade of junior high school, and Omi Kerong is in Tianjin in the winter!
By the way, the men's football team really saved Jiang...
