Hagrid's Return

To the Hogwarts students, all they saw was a group of School Governor arriving in a menacing manner, only to slink away from Hogwarts as if something terrible had happened at home and they had to go back to deal with it.

Fred and George, arm in arm, watched the departing School Governor and smirked as they speculated, "Maybe Dad got some evidence and raided their estate!"

However, for the students, this was just a minor incident and not a significant matter.

After all, with the end of the school year approaching, reviewing and taking exams are what they care about.

Unless those School Governor are willing to step forward and advocate for the cancellation of this year's exams, perhaps they will support the statements of these School Governor.

While students were busy reviewing their studies, the content published in The Daily Prophet was quietly changing.

News of the Pure-blood Family being found to be involved in contraband or Dark Magic transactions kept appearing in the corner of a newspaper page.

The Pure-blood Family involved in the incident have also suffered heavy losses due to this raid, making it difficult for them to make any waves in the future.

They could only lie low and wait, hoping that Voldemort's "I will never die" was true, or that Dumbledore die, so that they could have a better life.

Dumbledore had his own considerations on this matter. It was foreseeable that the resources controlled by the Pure-blood Family would cause various upheavals if they were deprived of them in a short period of time.

Therefore, there is no need to go too far. We can simply simmer like a frog in warm water, gradually eroding the situation to achieve a smooth transition.

The first task is to restructure the Board of Governors to better suit the current state of Hogwarts.

As the weather grew hotter and the students made the most of their time to study, Hagrid finally returned to Hogwarts.

Compared to when he left, Hagrid returned from Azkaban looking haggard, his eyes, like those of a black beetle, lacking any sparkle, as if he had suffered incredibly cruel torture.

When Wizet and Luna went to visit him, they happened to run into Harry and his two companions who shared the same thoughts.

"I will never forget it... it was so terrible!" Hagrid covered his face, his voice trembling and choked with sobs.

"I have nightmares every night... There are so many people in my dreams... My former classmates, they all say I killed someone..."

"I dreamt about you all... Professor McGonagall ...the other professors...they were all scorning me...saying I've dragged Headmaster Dumbledore down with me..."

"I also dreamt of the Forbidden Forest... Firenze, Ronan, and the others... Aragog... They were pointing arrows at me... trying to hang me from a tree..."

"It will be alright!" everyone quickly reassured them.

"Wizards' prisons are really that terrible?" Harry asked, his voice tinged with doubt. "They even give you nightmares... and Hagrid seems... to have lost weight?"

"Nobody wants to eat in a place like that..." Hagrid sighed. "I don't want to go back there..."

"That place is awful! Even if you could eat a piping hot Rock Cakes, it would taste bland..."

As if he had just thought of something, he looked around and said, "Oh, right! I'm planning to bake some Rock Cakes, you guys want some too!"

Harry instinctively said, "No need to bother! We ate too much for lunch!"

"Yes!" Ron immediately added, "I was so full that I didn't want to eat anything in the evening... You know, Headmaster Dumbledore is back, and we were so happy that we ate a little more."

Luna was the only one who hadn't experienced Hagrid's cooking, but seeing that Wizet was refusing repeatedly, she imitated the same gesture and waved her hands repeatedly.

"That's true... Oh, right!" Hagrid raised his right hand and pointed his index finger. "How about I get you some sugar? Some toffee syrup for you to try!"

"That's not necessary either..." Harry saw Hagrid about to get up and quickly changed the subject, "Hagrid, what is Aragog?"

"There was a riot at Hogwarts... a lot of Magical creature escaped from the Forbidden Forest! All sorts of dangerous animals were there!"

"I heard Percy and the others went to dissect corpses... and they're even speculating about who that student Snape mentioned is... that they can handle corpses so skillfully right after enrolling..."

Luna covered her mouth and smiled, then gently touched Wizet's fingers.

Wizet coughed lightly and shrugged slightly in response.

Hagrid stammered, "Ah... Aragog is... uh..."

"There are spiders in the Forbidden Forest ..." Ron's face turned deathly pale instantly. "So many spiders... each one is as big as a carriage!"

"Those spiders look like Acromantula ..." Hermione frowned. "These dangerous creatures shouldn't be from England ...there are plenty of them in Kalimantan Island."

"Eight... Acromantula?" Hagrid stammered, his face turning as pale as Ron's. "They...left the Forbidden Forest ...and attacked Hogwarts?"

Wizet began, "Actually, those Acromantula ... were the instigators of the recent Forbidden Forest riots."

Hagrid blinked, his mouth agape, unable to utter a single word.

Wizet continued, "Harry should also know... Voldemort is back and has orchestrated this series of events."

"This also includes collaborating with the Acromantula to harass the Magical creature of the Forbidden Forest, causing them to attack Hogwarts, in order to achieve one's own goals."

Hagrid looked on in disbelief. "How could this happen... They shouldn't have done that..."

"It's true! I saw it with my own eyes!" Harry nodded quickly and affirmed, "Voldemort took me to a very strange place..."

"And there were two Voldemort at the time... In short, the situation was very complicated! If it weren't for Dumbledore and Wizet, I might have been killed by Voldemort."

Hagrid covered his face, his voice trembling as he said, "But I told Aragog to keep them in check, how could they do this..."

"The situation was urgent," Wizet added. "The Acromantula not only caused a disturbance in the Forbidden Forest, but also attacked the Unicorn."

"Gorgons running amok! Acromantula attacking Unicorn! Have they gone mad?" Hagrid looked up, his eyes wide, and asked, "Why didn't Aragog keep them in check?"

Following Hagrid's words, Wizet said, "Perhaps it's because he's sick?"

Hagrid's lips trembled. "Aragog... is it sick?"

"He's quite ill and can't speak anymore." Wizet. "Perhaps that's why the other Acromantula rebelled and no longer obeyed Aragog's orders."

"I'm going to see Aragog!" Hagrid suddenly stood up, strode to the wall, grabbed his mole-skin coat, and draped it over his shoulders.

"When I was studying... it was the only one who stayed with me... willing to play with me... at times like these, I must be by its side!"

He twisted the doorknob with great effort and said, "Wizet... Harry... I'm so happy you came to see me right away, but I have to go to the Forbidden Forest!"
