Busy Harry

Every student, especially those who have made mistakes, dreads going to the office the most.

Although Hagrid dropped out of school in his third year, he considers himself to have always been Dumbledore's student, right up to the present.

Dumbledore was still the person he respected most. When his wand was broken and he was almost expelled from Hogwarts, Dumbledore took him in and gave him a job.

In fact, because of his father's early death, Dumbledore more like a father figure to him.

But now, because of his drinking, he has revealed Fluffy's weakness.

When he arrived at the office, ready to tell Dumbledore, Dumbledore already knew.

Oh no, Barbie Q is gone.

"Why don't you come in, Rubeus Hagrid?" Dumbledore's voice rang out again.

Although his voice was calm and gentle, giving people a sense of tranquility, to Hagrid at that moment, it was like the tolling of a death knell.

"Good evening, sir," Hagrid said timidly.

"What's wrong, Rubeus Hagrid?"

"It's dinnertime now, why don't you eat before coming over?" Dumbledore said again.

Hagrid, however, was not at all surprised that Dumbledore knew he hadn't eaten. Dumbledore always knew what he was supposed to know, and Hagrid knew very well that he couldn't use his own Wisdom to fathom the great Dumbledore.

The most important thing now is to confess that you leaked the secret.

"Professor, I have something to say." Hagrid mustered his courage and walked into the Headmaster's Office.

Dumbledore sat at his desk, which was covered with food, the most eye-catching of which was a plate of mint hard candies—a combination only Dumbledore could come up with.

The documents that used to be placed on the table were all put aside.

"Rubeus Hagrid, would you like some?" Dumbledore asked Hagrid, picking up a potato with its skin on with a fork.

"No, I have something to say." As soon as he finished speaking, Hagrid's stomach began to rumble with hunger.

He swallowed hard, focusing his attention on the portraits of the former principals on the wall of the Headmaster's Office. All the old principals in the portraits were awake, quietly eavesdropping on their conversation. A fat wizard with a red nose even produced a hearing aid.

Dumbledore, and the red-nosed, fat wizard in the portrait gave an awkward smile, pretending to put down his hearing aid, but actually placing it in his other ear.

"Professor, I leaked information about Fluffy while we were drinking at the Hog's Head Pub."

"Also, I think Quirrell might be under a curse and trying to steal the Philosopher's Stone." Hagrid didn't dare to make a decision on his own, so he mentioned all the information that Harry and Draco had said before, except for why he had let his guard down (mostly because of the dragon egg), he only briefly mentioned that it was because of alcohol.

"Oh, Quirrell has his own plans. Is that all, Rubeus Hagrid?" Dumbledore with an air of mystery, his pale blue eyes fixed on Hagrid.

Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then finally said, "Harry, Ron and the Malfoy family kids know about the Philosopher's Stone. They're the ones who made me realize I'd leaked the secret. Professor, I hope you can keep an eye on them, lest those three dare to venture into the Fourth-Floor Forbidden Area."

"Yes, Rubeus Hagrid, I understand."

"Why don't you stay and have a meal before you leave?" Dumbledore nodded and invited Hagrid. Without him making any move, a dish of food appeared on the table, and a huge chair, too large for an ordinary person to sit in, appeared next to it.

After Harry once again played a key role in winning a second victory, the Ravenclaw Quidditch Team members began to feel for the first time that winning the Quidditch Cup was no longer just a slogan.

Harry's popularity at Hogwarts has surged again.

Harry's current popularity, in entertainment industry terms, is like that of a veteran actor who has experienced multiple ups and downs before reaching the top.

This meant that Harry had to deal with the constantly changing ladders and the nagging of other students every day before class. Fortunately, they all had the good habit of leaving early, so being late for class was probably inevitable.

However, Harry didn't only receive praise; he also faced criticism along with his honor.

Besides their underhanded tactics on the field, the Slytherin Team employs even more unethical methods outside of matches.

Firstly, they spread rumors that were bad about Harry, hoping to influence him psychologically.

But this is of no use to Harry, who is now full of accolades.

In addition, they forgot about Ravenclaw's Rita Skeeter II, Kate. Although Harry had offended Kate before, Harry was still Ravenclaw student, and even Ravenclaw's hope for winning the Quidditch Cup this school year.

So, not long after their online attack on Harry began, the identity of the mastermind behind it was exposed and spread everywhere.

Professor Snape was particularly angry this time and put these students in solitary confinement for a semester, deducting a total of 12 points.

According to Draco, this wasn't favoritism; normally, their dean would have just deducted one or two points and given them a light detention. But this time, a whopping 12 points were deducted, and the students were detained for processing some disgusting Potions ingredients.

This explanation opened Ron's eyes, and it's no wonder that Slytherin won the House Cup for seven consecutive years.

So, Slytherin's continued dominance is also related to the fact that Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff don't care about it, but Gryffindor does, and they have a strict headmaster.

Ron, whose brothers are all Gryffindor, understands this all too well.

Professor McGonagall was almost the opposite of Snape. She was the most ruthless in deducting points from her own house, often by 7 or 8 points, sometimes even 50. As for students from other houses, she rarely overstepped her bounds and usually called in their heads to handle the matter.

Professor Flitwick and Professor Sprout would usually handle such situations with more seriousness. But Snape, shameless and unashamed, would rarely deduct points, instead using solitary confinement as punishment.

That's really something.

Secondly, Slytherin also liked to launch surprise attacks outside the arena.

Although Harry usually spends a lot of time with his first-year students, given his demonstrated magical abilities and Snape's strict handling of the previous incident, it shouldn't be that serious.

However, Jonny still arranged for several older students to take turns accompanying Harry to and from class to prevent him from being alone or being attacked.

Roger recently returned to the team, and this time the training he organized was no longer just theoretical. Of the three training sessions a week, tactical training was only conducted on the first day of the week, and the rest were practical exercises.

However, he declined the position of acting captain, which put Harry under a lot of pressure.

Because when the captain was mentioned, everyone, including Roger, stared intently at Harry, the implication of which was self-evident.

All of this made Harry temporarily forget about the Philosopher's Stone and the dragon egg.

In his mind, the dragon egg had probably already been handed over to Dumbledore, which made him unaware of Draco's daily disappearances at dinner time.

After all, Draco is in a different house, and they only attend Herbology together.

Just as Harry was engrossed in his studies, spending all his free time training Quidditch, something unexpected happened.

One morning at breakfast, Hedwig brought Harry another note from Hagrid. It contained only four words:

It's about to hatch.
