Chapter 14 Visiting the Kind-Hearted Hagrid (but the Rock Cake Soaked in Milk Is Really

Chapter 14 Visiting the kind-hearted Hagrid (but the rock cake soaked in milk is really delicious)

Grete kept giving hints to himself in his mind, not to care about the changes in the microscopic world, nor to consider the transition of electronic energy levels, but to follow the guidance of magic and let the magic soak into the match in front of him.

Follow your instincts and let the matches change according to your own ideas, just like a person needs to breathe when alive and sleep when sleepy. Let everything happen naturally. This is a world where magic exists, and transfiguration is an objective truth.

…

Maybe he really convinced himself, or maybe he was hypnotized. As the wand fell, the magic power soaked in, and the match in front of him glowed with a metallic luster.

With its sharp needle head, smooth needle body, and needle tail with holes, in just a few seconds, the match turned into a sewing needle very smoothly.

Ignoring the prompt of +1 Transfiguration Experience on the panel, Grete pulled a piece of hair from his head, sipped it carefully, and passed it straight through.

Professor McGonagall had a smile on her face, folded her arms and looked at the excited Gretel in front of her with a look of relief. She could feel and understand the happy mood of the little wizard in front of her, which was the same as when she first came into contact with Transfiguration. Mood.

"Bah, bang, bang," Professor McGonagall clapped her hands, "Everyone, come here and take a look at Mr. McGregor's transformation. He is really good."

After hearing Professor McGonagall's words, the little wizards who had no choice but to enter suddenly gathered around.

Professor McGonagall leaned down and came close to Gretel, "Well, Mr. Gretel, would you mind demonstrating to your classmates how you turned a match into a sewing needle?"

"Of course not, Professor, I'd be happy to." He waved his wand gently, and the sewing needle turned into a match again.

——

"This is?" Grete looked at the envelope handed over by Hermione with a blushing face.

The roommates headed by Terry on the other side leaned against each other and quietly watched the two of them chatting.

"I've said it before, this little buck-toothed Gryffindor absolutely loves Gretel. Look, it's come true. I could see it on the first day of school." Terry said with a look on his face that I was a prophecy. Home, come and praise my expression.

"Classmate Gretel, this is my challenge letter. Please face my challenge. Until graduation, let us compete to see who is the best student in Hogwarts. I will definitely not lose to you. Hermione said with a nervous look on her face.

Perhaps thinking of the Transfiguration class that had just ended, Hermione's face couldn't help but turn redder.

Until the end of get out of class, she was the only one among the dozens of remaining students who successfully transformed the match, even though it only transformed into a needle point.

But this has made her the only student besides Gretel to receive praise in the Transfiguration class.

"I know that although I can't compare to you now, I will definitely become the best graduate of Hogwarts. I hope you can officially accept my challenge." Hermione shouted, not caring about the other people around her. The students looked in surprise.

Looking at Hermione in front of him, Gretel really didn't know what to say.

He looked at Hermione from head to toe, and just before Hermione was about to explode, he took the challenge letter out of her hand.

"Yes, I believe that you will become the best graduate of Hogwarts."

After finishing speaking, without waiting for a reply, he turned around smoothly, greeted his roommates who were watching the excitement, and rushed towards the cafeteria.

He didn't have time to play the game of life-long rivalry and life-fetters with the little girl here. After dinner, he had to go to Professor Flitwick's office for advice.

It was now half past three, and Professor Flitwick had just finished the Charms class for the little badgers and snakes.

From now until eight o'clock in the evening, Professor Flitwick will have a rare amount of free time.

Grete wanted to take advantage of this time to ask how many basic configurations the Floo Network magic contained.

After the research is clear, the professor's help will naturally be needed to modify the magical configuration involved in the Floo Network.

Gretel walked away neatly, leaving no thoughts behind, leaving only a look of astonishment on his face, his little buck teeth messy in the wind.

Harry looked regretful and retracted the arm he had just raised, while Ron stood beside him with a secretive look on his face.

"Harry, let's go. By the way, have you finished the homework assigned by Professor Sprout for herbal medicine class yesterday? Let's finish the homework first and then go to the restaurant to eat."

——

Friday.

It was late in the cold night, and Gretel huddled beside the fireplace in the common room, concentrating on studying the basic configuration disassembled by Professor Flitwick.

Grete wants to thoroughly study the relevant configuration before Christmas arrives, and start miniaturization research at the same time.

An owl messenger hurriedly set off from Hagrid's Forbidden Forest hut and flew straight to Ravenclaw Tower.

"Dear Grete:

I don’t know if you have time to come to my cabin tomorrow. I haven’t seen you for a long time. I want to talk to you about the first week. I invited Harry just in the morning and he has already visited this afternoon. Oh yeah, we talked about you too.

If possible, ask the owl to bring you your reply.

Hagrid. "

A lot of scratches can be seen on the surface of the letter paper. It can be seen that Hagrid must have thought about it for a long time, revised the wording several times, and copied it carefully before sending it out.

By the firelight of the fireplace, Gretel quickly replied with a letter saying he was happy to go, and in the letter expressed his gratitude to Hagrid for taking care of St. Mary's Welfare Home this week.

This week, Sebastian traveled between the welfare home and Hogwarts many times. In her letter, Mrs. Swan asked Gret to take time to visit the kind half-blood giant.

In addition, she implicitly mentioned that it is best not to touch the rock cake when visiting, after all, the knife of the welfare home was broken in order to cut the cake.

As for this, Gret wanted to help Hagrid speak up. He had long been fed up with the broken knife of the welfare home. It was more appropriate to call it a saw than a kitchen knife.

——

The next day.

Gret got up early in the morning, changed into a light outfit, tidied himself up and left the castle.

Soon after crossing the field, he saw the small wooden house on the edge of the forbidden forest from a distance. Small is relative to Hagrid.

At least when Gret stood in front of the door, he could not touch the upper edge of the wooden door without the levitation spell.

When Gret arrived, Hagrid was heating the "small" dessert [rock cake] by the stove. A silver kettle comparable to a beer barrel sat at the flame of the stove.

The mouth of the pot was spewing steam wantonly, and Grete could smell the sweet aroma of milk and honey.

"Grete, come and sit down, you probably haven't had breakfast yet, I specially boiled milk for you, and added some honey I collected from the Forbidden Forest, the little wizard should drink more milk to grow up."

"By the way, do you want some rock cakes? Mrs. Swan wrote back to me saying that the children in the welfare home like the rock cakes I sent." Hagrid turned around and said.

Well, Grete silently swallowed the complaints in his heart, and said in the expectant eyes of the half-blood giant: "Then please give me half a piece, I don't eat much in the morning."

Hagrid, whose suggestion was adopted, was obviously happier.

Grete looked at the bowl in front of him that was bigger than his face, and a whole sheet of rock cakes that seemed to exude an atmosphere of no strangers, and silently added one item to his life plan: learn to refuse.

"Grete, you can try soaking the rock cakes in milk, it tastes really good." Hagrid suggested again, with recommendations written in his two big copper bell eyes.

Gretel almost used up all his strength, but he still couldn't tear off a piece of the soft and delicious rock cake that Hagrid described.

He really didn't know how good the teeth of the savior duo were, and they could actually chew such a hard lump.

He simply gave up, dipped the rock cake in milk, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation.

Unexpectedly, the rock cake was not as bad as imagined, and he could even absorb the mellow milk from the soaked place.

Gretel gave a thumbs up and fully expressed his agreement with Hagrid's proposal.

After the meal, Gretel took out a walnut comb made of wood from his pocket as a thank-you gift prepared by Mrs. Swan for Hagrid, which was the heart of many children in the orphanage.

Every child in the orphanage, regardless of gender, has his own small comb, because Mrs. Swan said that people don't necessarily have to be rich when they live, but they must ensure their dignity.

The last time Hagrid played with the children in the orphanage, they noticed that Hagrid's hair and beard had tangled in many places.

So when Mrs. Swan proposed, the children all said in unison that they wanted to give a comb.

Gretel also asked the senior students to engrave spells such as solidification and cleaning on it for Hagrid's convenience.

It can be seen that Hagrid was very touched, and his eyes were red.

"Thank you, Gretel, thank you, and thank you Mrs. Swan and those children. This is the first time someone has given me a gift except Professor Dumbledore. I will definitely treasure it."

In the eyes of the half-blood giant, the two talked about their first week of life in Hogwarts, mainly Hagrid talking and Gretel listening.

After all, his daily life is to study, eat and sleep, and there is really nothing to say.

When Hagrid heard that he was punished by Snape for detention, he comforted Gretel, "Gretel, Professor Snape is not a bad person, he just speaks badly."

Hagrid's life has not changed much. He patrols the Forbidden Forest every day and does miscellaneous work. When talking about Harry, Hagrid opened up all of a sudden.

He said that since Harry sat down yesterday, he began to talk about his troubles, such as how everyone's attention made him nervous, and how difficult the course was. Of course, the most important thing was that he was also targeted by Snape.

Because of Gretel's excellent performance on Monday, the blow that the savior Harry suffered in the potions class was much more brutal than the original text he had read in his previous life.

Snape even took the opportunity to find fault because he hated him for not fighting. After a big class, Gryffindor was deducted a full 20 points.

Every Friday night, Harry has to go to Snape's office for detention (crossed out, special treatment), but of course Harry doesn't think so.

He thinks he may not be able to leave the office alive.

In addition, Harry has not found a chance to contact Gretel, and he did not realize that this was Gretel avoiding him, a big trouble.

So after hearing that Gretel and Hagrid are very familiar with each other, he asked Hagrid to create an opportunity for him to make friends.

Gretel can't even hide, so how can he make friends with him? Tell Hagrid that he is now conducting a very important research with Professor Flitwick.

A long list of configuration and theoretical professional terms instantly confused this half-blood giant who dropped out early.

Hagrid's eyes widened, "Okay, you go ahead and get busy. Anyway, you will be classmates for seven years, there is plenty of time, and there is no rush to make friends. You go ahead and get busy."

Please read on and recommend. Thank you.

3000 big chapter has been added, and there are two more chapters today.

In addition, I am very curious about where you found this book. I am very curious.

Small theater

Collected carefully together with family letters. Hagrid's letter: Hey, that letter over there, we will be colleagues in the future, look familiar.

A challenge letter thrown casually in the pile of debris: Resentment +1, +1, +1... (Mumbling, Mike Grete, you wait, my master will definitely defeat you as promised.)
