Chapter 204: Hagrid blames himself
Chapter 204 Hagrid blames himself
The next day, when Hogwarts returned to normal, Kyle went to the school hospital as soon as possible.
Along the way, almost everyone was discussing what happened yesterday, and they talked about everything.
“Dark wizards attack Hogwarts…”
“The Death Eaters are back…”
“Fantastic Beasts Riot…”
“The illegitimate son Dumbledore once abandoned comes to seek justice...”
“The illegitimate son that Snape once abandoned came to seek justice...”
…
Just walking from the common room to the door of the auditorium, Kyle had already heard five or six versions, each one more outrageous than the last.
Seriously, if Lockhart could have come to Hogwarts to apply for a job earlier, he probably wouldn’t need to borrow stories from everywhere to write a book.
By the time Kyle came to the courtyard, it felt a little calmer.
There was no one at the entrance of the campus hospital.
Because of the Quidditch match, most of the students went to the stadium, so Hagrid was not seen by the little wizards when he was sent to the school hospital, and naturally no one knew that he had been attacked.
Keir knocked on the door with some anxiety. He was not sure whether Madam Pomfrey would let him in, and he was even prepared to return without success.
But to his surprise, Madam Pomfrey didn't say anything and just let him in.
“You’d better talk him out of it, there’s no magic potion for depression.”
Madam Pomfrey took Kyle to a bed at the end of the room and opened the curtain.
Hagrid lay there with eyes blank. Kyle called him several times but got no response.
“Is it that serious?” Kyle frowned.
"No!" Madam Pomfrey shook her head, "Last night the headmaster sent a bottle of special potion containing phoenix tears. After he drank it, his injuries were almost healed."
“So what’s going on with Hagrid now?”
“This is what I just told you, he is too depressed and it cannot continue like this.”
Madam Pomfrey sighed and said, "Then I'll leave this place to you. I'll prepare the elixir... I hope I won't need it."
After Madam Pomfrey left, Kyle tried calling Hagrid a few more times, but it still had no effect.
In desperation, he could only take a deep breath and said loudly:
“Wake up, Hagrid, two fire dragons are fighting in the Forbidden Forest over a nest of dragon eggs!”
“Hmm…” Hagrid finally made a move this time.
His eyes moved and he said vaguely: "No...can't beat it, the dragon egg will break..."
"You don't have to worry at all, there are no dragons in Hogwarts...and no dragon eggs!"
Hagrid turned his head as if he had just seen Kyle.
“Kyle, why are you here?”
“Of course I heard that you were injured and came to see you.” Kyle handed him a large box of chocolates and said, “Eat some, it will be good for you.”
"I can not eat…"
Hagrid suddenly grabbed his hair and cried loudly: "Drudge... Lula... they are all dead, right in front of my eyes.
It's all my fault for being too slow... If I could have walked faster and appeared earlier, they wouldn't have died..."
Hagrid cried harder and harder, and by the end, Kyle could no longer hear what he was saying. It’s just that he didn’t say anything or comfort Hagrid. He just sat quietly next to him, opening one package after another of chocolate frogs.
Until the crying gradually subsided, Kyle said: "I don't know how to comfort you, Hagrid, but at least you saved the unicorn."
"Serna..." Hagrid raised his head, with an expression other than self-blame on his face for the first time, and asked in surprise: "Is she okay?"
"If Serna is the unicorn you are talking about...then she is indeed alive."
Kyle handed Hagrid a handful of chocolate frogs and watched him stuff them into his mouth before continuing: "Newt Scamander came to Hogwarts yesterday, and he has taken the unicorn back for treatment. .
I think that by the end of this school year, it will be able to return to life in the forbidden forest. "
"Have you really seen Mr. Scamander?" Hagrid asked in disbelief: "Aren't you lying to me?"
“Of course!” Kyle nodded affirmatively.
These words were told to Newt personally when he sneaked into the Hufflepuff common room yesterday, so there is no doubt that they are true.
But then they can’t tell Hagrid what they said.
Kyle also couldn't figure it out. Even if Cedric and the Weasley brothers didn't know that he had a box, how on earth did Dumbledore know about it!
Could it be Hermione who snitched...
But that's not right, she couldn't see Dumbledore at all. Even if she wanted to complain, she should go to Professor McGonagall.
It’s really time to meet Riddle!
“That’s great, that’s great…”
Hagrid cried again, but this time it was tears of joy.
“So, the Forbidden Forest cannot live without you.”
Kyle gave the last chocolate frogs to Hagrid and said, "Don't forget that you didn't catch the dark wizard this time. What if he went to the Forbidden Forest again while you were away.
Those unicorns are no match for the evil dark wizard. "
"Yes... you are right." Hagrid rubbed his face and sat up from the bed: "I will go back now."
"Don't worry yet." Kyle stopped him, took out a small ball about the size of his fist and handed it over.
"this is for you."
"Thank you, Kyle, but no need." Hagrid refused: "I have eaten enough chocolate just now, you can keep it for yourself."
“This is not chocolate, but a tool I made to call for help.”
Kyle explained: "As long as the shell is crushed, it will shoot special fireworks into the sky. At that time, whether it is Principal Dumbledore or other professors, as long as they are still at Hogwarts, they will definitely see it."
Hagrid looked at the ball in his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't need this."
In fact, Hagrid always felt that he was stimulated by the death of the two centaurs, and because of his carelessness, he was injured by the sneak attack.
If he meets that dark wizard again, he will definitely be able to knock out all the food the other person had last night...whether from above or below...
And to put it another way, even if he really couldn't beat him, he could still use the wand hidden in the pink umbrella to shoot red sparks into the sky to ask for help, or to alert others.
Of course, he still has the wand, so he must not let others know about it.
"Take it, Hagrid." Kyle put the thing into his hand and said: "Don't be careless, just think it's for those magical animals... The sooner the dark wizard is caught, the sooner the Forbidden Forest can restore peace."
"That's...okay." Hagrid thought for a while, then agreed, and asked, "Just crush it into pieces?"
"That's right." Kyle said, "You can hold it in your hand when you go to the Forbidden Forest, and just pinch it if necessary. It's much more convenient than emitting a red light for help."
"Well..." Hagrid turned his head and said vaguely: "I, I don't have a wand..."
