Hagrid Returns to Work

Harry and Ron, carrying Invisibility Cloak, crouched furtively at the entrance of the Gryffindor Tower.

Oren had just stepped out of the tower, complained, "Can't you two learn the Disillusionment Charm?"

"That's because they didn't learn it yet."

A moment later, another large ginger cat ran out of the Gryffindor Tower.

"I bet this is Hermione's Animagus," detective Harry says.

Oren quipped, "Judging from that big cat's eye-rolling expression, anyone could guess it's Hermione."

Two little ones...

The group left the tower entrance and walked out of the castle.

Harry whispered, "Oren, I thought you didn't know how to use the Disillusionment Charm, so you just swaggered out of the castle."

"Isn't this because of the pink toad? I was afraid she'd pick a fight with me, so I couldn't help but burn it."

The three little ones...

The group was very skilled at nighttime exploration; Hermione even managed to scratch Mrs. Norris.

Oren pounded on the door of the cabin, while the two little ones circled around Hermione.

"Coming, coming! Don't knock, the door's about to collapse!" Hagrid, wearing a face mask, opened the door.

Three little ones!!!

Entering the cabin, Oren complained, "My dear Professor Hagrid, you're finally back! The school was in utter chaos while you were on vacation!"

The three children were immediately drawn to a huge, battle-damaged suit of armor as soon as they entered.

Harry said, "This armor looks like it's been through several major battles."

Ron chimed in, "Yeah, I can almost smell blood."

Hagrid explained, "This is my armor, used to educate my brother."

Hermione's lips twitched. "Hagrid, your parenting style... is pretty intense."

"Ahem," Hagrid explained, "My brother is Giant."

Ron: "So you went to find the Giant, cool!"

"Yeah, Hagrid had a tough time," Oren started to complain, "Traveling all the way through France Poland, Belarus ..."

Hermione asked curiously, "Avoiding being tracked?"

"A publicly funded trip with Madame Maxime"

The three little ones...

"In the end, the Giant escaped, and they didn't manage to win over many of Giant."

Hagrid retorted, "The Death Eaters didn't even manage to recruit many Giant."

"You, you!" Oren said with exasperation, "Look at how haggard you look!"

Hagrid took out a small mirror and said, "I've become so haggard from the effects of alcohol and women. From today onwards, I will abstain from alcohol!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he slammed a bottle of whiskey back onto the table, Hagrid picked it up and examined it carefully.

"It's too late today, I'll try quitting tomorrow."

Oren...

The three little ones...

Before they left, Hermione reminded Hagrid and Umbridge not to cause trouble in class if they wanted to.

Unfortunately, the next day he used the Thestral to do something terrible to everyone, and Umbridge also wrote three whole parchments of bad things about Hagrid during his class.

An abandoned factory. Oren said incredulously, "Will, I told you to sell flour, not just flour. Why did you have to make it so secretive?"

"Young Master, I didn't want to either! The banging sounds of customers Apparition always attract Muggle and cause trouble."

Oren...

"By the way, young master, the vase containing moon soil has been sold."

Oren waved his hand. "Sold it or not, no need to report such a small matter."

Moody limped into the factory and stabbed a bag of rice.

Oren???

"Wait, what is this lunatic doing?"

Will explained, "Recently, someone's been watching the shop. Moody thinks they're Death Eaters, but I think they're dark wizards. Young master, you know my..."

"I understand," Oren nodded. "Aren't you a dark wizard too? It's normal that you're skilled in these petty thievery and can spot it."

Will...

Back at Hogwarts, before even entering the castle, Ron could be heard shouting, "I told you not to cause trouble for your Prefect!"

Unfortunately, Ron's snowball wasn't accurate enough and missed Fred.

George's magical snowball knocked Ron to the ground.

Ron shouted, "Oren! Great, come help me!"

Without a word, Oren buried Ron in the snow.

"Pah, pah, pah!" Ron complained. "I thought we were in cahoots."

Oren explained, "What are you talking about? You've clearly fallen over."

Ron...

"Oh, by the way, I just saw a Gryffindor boy with Ginny."

"What! You dare!" Ron, who was on his deathbed, sat bolt upright in shock and shouted, "Where's the knife? Oren, can I borrow your knife?"

"No problem," Oren said considerately, causing blue flames to rise from the blade.

"George, Fred, hurry up and grab your weapons!" Ron turned back to Oren and asked, "Did you see who that guy is?"

Oren said, "It looks like Harry."

"Harry!" Ron called out after a moment's thought, "You two, come quick, we don't need to copy the guy."

Before long, the three men, with wicked grins on their faces, escorted Harry back to the Gryffindor Tower.

George, holding a bottle of Potions, said, "Tell me honestly, what were you and Ginny whispering about?"

"What do you mean by 'whispering'? It was just a friendly exchange between Ginny and me, both being Seeker," Harry argued. "Besides, Angelina Johnson pulled her into the team at the last minute."

"Even though I'm suspended, I still have to help pass on some experience, right?"

"Tch~" 3

Ron and the twins scattered.

Hermione chuckled, "Look how red Harry's face is with worry."

"Seriously, you and Ginny should avoid Ron. How about going to Three Broomsticks?"

After saying that, Oren pushed a spellbook towards Hermione: "A Christmas present for you."

Hermione also took out a scarf and handed it to Oren.

"This is my Christmas present? Knitted especially for me?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and said, "It was originally intended for House-elf to be used to set them free, but the plan failed, so you'll have to benefit from it."

"Wait a minute!" Harry immediately channeled his inner detective. "This size is wrong. This scarf could be used as House-elf!"

Hermione glared at Harry.

Harry!!!

"Hermione, I'm so touched that you remembered me. I kindly got this notebook from Cedric Diggory."

Cedric Diggory, who was floating in the waters near Azkaban, sneezed.

Harry asked curiously, "What are Ron and I's Christmas presents?"

"A bag of rice; you can substitute flour if you don't like it."

Harry...

That night, Harry shook Oren awake, shouting, "Wake up! I feel something's wrong!"

A pistol magically appeared in Oren's hand... well, he used magic.

"Give me a reasonable explanation!"

Ron said, "Harry dreamed he turned into a snake..."

"Stop, stop, stop!" Oren interrupted, "Why did he wake me up because he was having a nightmare?"

"Am I supposed to sing him lullabies to put him to sleep? But I don't have a stroller big enough to fit him!"

Harry's lips twitched. "Let me finish. After I turned into a snake, I bit Mr. Arthur's ass pretty hard."

Ron!!!

Oren???
