Chapter 28 Harry in the Newspaper
After being splashed with scabies potion once and sprayed with Snape's venom, Neville was trembling until he was eating.
"Let me tell you, buddy." Ron began to comfort Neville: "Actually, it's not a big deal. After all, you can't be proficient in every subject."
"You're right, Weasley." Draco's harsh voice sounded from the long Slytherin table behind him: "Maybe this little fat guy should think more with his head instead of that fat ass."< br>
"Shut up, Malfoy." Ron put his arm around Neville's shoulders to keep him from looking at Draco.
Seeing that Draco still wanted to open his mouth, Slytherin's prefect Gemma Farley said: "Mr. Malfoy?"
"Miss Farley," Draco responded.
"Shut your mouth," Gemma said simply.
It wasn't that she felt sorry for Neville being bullied, but she simply didn't want the professors to catch Draco verbally attacking his classmates and deduct Slytherin points.
After being warned by the prefect, Draco kept his mouth shut, but his eyes kept glancing at the backs of Ron and Neville, not knowing what he was thinking.
In the afternoon, Harry dragged several people in the dormitory, as well as Hermione, to Hagrid's cabin as a guest.
Hagrid was very happy to see so many little wizards, all of whom were Gryffindors.
"Go, go." Hagrid noticed Neville's trembling legs and began to drive away the big dog beside him, "Wait a minute, I will tie Fang up first, he is always very enthusiastic."
After Fang was tied up, Hagrid called everyone into the room to sit down.
Harry brought many snacks from the Muggle world, as well as several large bottles of Coke, the 2.5-liter kind.
"Hey, it's Coke." Hagrid grabbed a large bottle of Coke, looking like an ordinary person holding oral liquid. "I have to admit that Muggles are still some good at some things."
"This is Ron, Seamus and Neville, and she is Hermione." Harry introduced Hagrid.
"Hello." Hagrid happily shook hands with everyone. When it was Ron's turn, Hagrid smiled: "Another little brother from the Weasley family, right? I know your two brothers, Fred. And George, right? To be honest, I really can’t tell them apart, but it took me most of my life to get them out of the Forbidden Forest.”
He took out a large plate from the cabinet, which contained some cookies that looked very rough on the surface.
"Try this, the rock cake I baked." Hagrid said, taking a piece from the plate, putting it in his mouth and chewing it.
Harry's eyelids twitched. From the sound of the voice, this was not a good thing.
He picked up the rock cake and broke it slightly with his hands, but he couldn't shake it at all.
So he picked up Hagrid's kettle, poured some water into the bowl, and put the rock cake in the bowl, intending to soak it until soft before eating.
When Harry raised his head, he found that his friends were looking at him with the same eyes as the sixth child.
Neville also had a piece of rock biscuit in his mouth, but it seemed that he had not bitten it off.
Harry shrugged, took out his wand, made a fork, and put the soaked rock biscuits into his mouth.
It should be admitted that the rock cake is really delicious when soaked, and has a rich milky aroma, much like a soufflé.
"Well, it's pretty good." He said with praise, not forgetting to give Hagrid a compliment: "I'm sorry Hagrid, I have some gum inflammation recently, so I can only soak it until it softens and eat it."
"It's okay, Harry." Hagrid said with a smile.
Everyone told Hagrid interesting stories about the recent class, and Hagrid always laughed heartily after listening to them. This may remind him of the happy times he had at school. "Actually, Professor Sprout's cake is quite delicious." Hagrid began to comment sharply on the professors: "As for Professor McGonagall, she is indeed very strict, but she is also very kind - it should be said that Hogwarts The professors are all good people.”
Ron had a different understanding of this sentence.
"Except Snape," he answered quickly.
"Yes." Neville agreed with Ron almost immediately, and Seamus nodded in agreement.
"How can you say that?" Hagrid shook his head and said: "Actually, you will know after contacting him. Professor Snape is also a..."
He suddenly got stuck.
"I think he's always targeting Harry." Ron didn't wait for Hagrid to find the right adjective. "You didn't see the way Snape looked at him, as if he wanted to eat him."
"No, I think it's very complicated." Hermione expressed a different opinion: "Anyway... I can't describe that feeling."
"Yes, of course he is complicated." Hagrid smiled at everyone.
"Why?" Harry quickly asked: "Hagrid, you have been at Hogwarts for so long and are friends with my parents. You must know why, right? I think Professor Snape must know my father. Mom, she is even friends with them..."
Unexpectedly, Hagrid took a breath after hearing Harry's words.

"Merlin's fattest lace underwear...why do you think so?"
Noticing Hagrid's surprise, Harry quickly asked: "What's wrong Hagrid? Am I right?"
"Well..." Hagrid said vaguely: "That's not to say it's wrong. It should be said that your parents do have a close relationship with Professor Snape."
"No wonder..." Harry said clearly: "No wonder he asked questions like this."
"Ask a question?" Ron asked in confusion: "What does this have to do with him asking you a question? Man, I think he is targeting you."
Harry said Victoria's flower language again, and everyone couldn't help but look like they had seen a ghost, especially Ron, who opened his mouth wide.
"But why didn't he just say it?" Hermione always felt as if she had grasped something, but she felt that she was barely able to grasp the main point.
"This is in line with Professor Snape's character." Hagrid said with a smile, and he quickly changed the subject: "How is your brother Charlie?"
It was Ron he was asking: "I like him very much - you know, he has a way with animals."
As expected, Ron's attention was taken away by Hagrid. He started chatting with Hagrid about Charlie raising dragons in Romania.
Harry's attention was drawn to the newspaper pressed on the table. It had been cut slightly, but not completely.
The cropped part contained reports about the break-in incident at Gringotts, and Harry's attention was drawn to the content in another area.
It is not a report on current events, but a rehash of old events, similar to a trivia section.
What is written above is a record of important events. A hundred years ago today, the goblin rebellion was put down.
Also attracted was Hermione. She picked up the newspaper in disbelief and said in surprise: "Oh, Harry, your name is actually on it!"
