From Azkaban To Hogwarts

If another wizard came here, most people would think that the house in front of them is shabby and small, with nothing to praise at all.

It is simply made of ordinary wood and is so small that there is no second room in the entire house.

The decoration in the house is not high-end either. The sleeping bed is placed in the corner of the house. There is no separate kitchen. There is only a fire pit that serves as a part-time heating and cooking function. Smoked foods such as ham and pheasant are hung on the walls of the room - this is completely A standard feature of a hunter's cabin.

If William's previous occupation hadn't made him too sensitive to most magical raw materials, he would definitely feel that the decoration of this room and Hagrid's clothes were not very valuable.

But just the handful of silver hairs hanging from the roof made him stunned.

A whole bunch, let alone several hundred pieces - this is the core of William's wand.

Although the price has been fluctuating recently, even at the lowest price in recent years, this whole bundle is enough to buy a detached house in most streets in the magical world.

However, this bunch of unicorn tails was hanging over there, as if hanging from a rope or something else, and the owner didn't pay attention to it at all.

William couldn't help but swallow and began to search the house seriously.

Not long after, he discovered more things - seemingly crudely made bows and arrows on the wall. The luster of those arrows was clearly the metal commonly used by fairies to make magic treasures. The feathers on the arrow tails were simply the best. of magic steno pen ingredients.

Although William's estimate is not very accurate, the price of such an arrow alone is much higher than that of a wand in terms of material price.

Shooting people with a wand - what's the difference between using gold and stone to make a slingshot?

William couldn't help but hold his wand.

Although he had drunk with Hagrid two or three times in the Leaky Cauldron, and even boasted about it when he got drunk, he really didn't expect that the Hogwarts gamekeeper in front of him was actually a master of Versailles and a real rich man. .

While William was looking at the furnishings in the room, Hagrid quickly ran towards the owl by the window. While taking out the owl food from the bag by the window, he hurriedly tried to find the letter at the owl's feet.

But he was soon disappointed - there was no reply. The owl cooed while eating the food, and stretched out its legs to indicate that he had not brought back any letters.

"It's been a month," Hagrid said to William in disappointment.

"A month?"

"It's been a month. Harry hasn't given me any response for a month. I sent rock biscuits on his birthday, looking forward to his reply, but still no reply."

Hagrid's voice was filled with sadness.

William could feel this sadness. Judging from the look on Hagrid's face when he mentioned that Harry, Hagrid's friendship was not half false. When this kind of feeling is trampled on, it can make people die from discomfort.

"Okay Hagrid, don't be sad, there might be something going on with Harry."

William thought quickly, trying to comfort the big man in front of him who was half taller than him when he was squatting down. After hearing such a story, it would be difficult for a normal person not to feel sympathy for this enthusiastic big man.

At the same time, he also blamed the Harry he had never met in his mind.

It's been a month, and someone is still giving you a gift on your birthday. Is it a waste of time for you to say thank you?

"I guess so. Those Muggles abused him. I warned those guys well, but I can't use magic at will-"

Hagrid suppressed his emotions, poured tea and wiped the corners of his eyes, then brought the tea and a plate of desserts.

"Let's eat some rock biscuits first. We have to go to the castle later. I have to ask Professor McGonagall. Maybe those Muggles are really abusing Harry and not letting him reply to me."

If you can think so... William picked up a piece of rock cake and recalled the memory of the boy named Harry.

There are not many related memories, but if his memory is correct, the relationship between Harry and Hagrid seems to be good later on.

Maybe, are they really being controlled by Muggles?

That's good, it's much better than cold-bloodedly ignoring friends. William took a bite of the dessert in his hand with confidence.

No bite.

William unbelievingly exerted more force, and his teeth began to issue warnings.

Afterwards, he drank the tea resignedly and managed to eat a piece of rock cake with the help of the tea.

Huh - if he remembered correctly, Hagrid said he gave Harry rock biscuits as a birthday present on his birthday.

He looked at the roof speechlessly. If someone gave him such a gift on his birthday, he might consider it as a friendship.

"It's almost time for us to leave, right? The time that Professor McGonagall and I made is ten o'clock. If it's a little slower on the way, I guess we won't have enough time, right?"

William asked tentatively, trying to get rid of the remaining dessert.

"Good idea," Hagrid replied in a low voice.

The two left Hagrid's house together and walked directly towards the school's castle.

Perhaps with the intention of getting there quickly so he could ask Harry if he was under house arrest by Muggles, Hagrid moved much faster than before, which also left the two of them with almost no time to communicate during the rest of the journey. ——Although Hagrid did not use the fastest speed to take care of William, the almost trotting speed left William with little thought to observe the surrounding environment.

'Forget it, I'll let Hagrid give me a proper introduction when we get out. Now he's focused on Harry, so he probably isn't in the mood to answer my questions. '

Passing through the greenhouse, the castle gate, the floating stairs, and the moving oil paintings, the two of them arrived directly outside Professor McGonagall's office at twice the normal walking speed.

Just when William thought that Hagrid would knock on the door and go in without giving him any time to rest, the big man who had been silent all the way hesitated at the door of the professor's office.

When William took a breath and realized that the other party was not taking care of him but was worrying about himself, he was happy.

This guy was probably afraid of getting a bad answer, so he simply froze at the door.

Without saying anything, he reached out and patted Hagrid on the waist, gave him a firm look, then walked forward quickly and knocked on the door of Professor McGonagall's office.

Although it was a little earlier than the scheduled time, it was not considered rude since Hagrid was there.

"Please come in."

Professor McGonagall's voice came from inside the door.

Hagrid followed William hesitantly into Professor McGonagall's office. Before William could explain why he came early, another person in the office had already greeted him with a slightly surprised voice.

"Ah, Professor William, I didn't expect that you and I chose to visit in advance. It seems that our discussion this morning will be very pleasant!"

Who is this guy? Why are your teeth so white?

ps: It’s an old habit. I’m not satisfied with what I wrote and always want to change it. Not only did I fail to make up for it, but I owe it again. I’ll slowly make up for it tomorrow and the day after tomorrow...
