Chapter 30 News from an Old Friend
"After Mr. Potter and Lanlock died together, there was no news from his friends." Hagrid shrugged: "But a hundred years have passed, and even if they are still alive, they are still old people. ”
Finally, he added another sentence.
"Time has always been merciless."
"But they are all very good people," Harry asked with a frown: "They will definitely not be unknown."
Hagrid shook his head and said, "I don't know about this, but I have never heard of a friend who fought alongside Mr. Potter back then, so many people thought this person was a fiction."
After chatting for a while, Hermione also discovered the theft from Gringotts written in the newspaper.
"It turns out that Gringotts is not as safe as they boasted." Hermione read while holding the newspaper: "The latest report on the Gringotts break-in incident. The investigation of the Gringotts break-in incident on July 26 is still ongoing. As the process continues, it is generally believed that this is the work of unknown dark forces witches and wizards, Gringotts' The goblins reiterated today that nothing had been stolen. The underground vault that had been searched by the intruders had in fact been emptied earlier that day. A Gringotts Goblins spokesman said this afternoon: What exactly was stored in the vault. , no comment, please don’t interfere in this matter.”
"July 26th?"
Harry suddenly recalled that it was the day Hagrid took him to Gringotts to withdraw money.
So he asked: "Hagrid, the day when the Gringotts break-in happened happened to be the day we went together. It's very likely that we happened to be there when it happened!"
However, this time, Hagrid did not answer. He lowered his head and did not dare to look into Harry's eyes. He reached out and handed Harry a cup of tea.
"Try the chamomile I picked in the Forbidden Forest earlier." Hagrid tried to change the subject: "Soak this in water and drink it. It will be good for the inflammation on your gums."
Seeing that Hagrid didn't say anything and even tried to change the subject, Harry couldn't continue to ask further.
After all, that was something that Principal Dumbledore had entrusted to him, and he certainly couldn't talk about it casually.
He took the newspaper from Hermione's hand and browsed it carefully - the underground vault that had been searched by the intruder had actually been withdrawn earlier that day... combined with Hagrid's reaction, then this mysterious wizard broke into The vault they entered must be the same vault they went to!
But the treasury has been drained out, which means that there is only this small cloth bag in the treasury.
It seemed that the target of this mysterious wizard must be what Hagrid had taken away.
All the way back, he was brainstorming in his head.
When he was thinking, he was still thinking about Ominis, the Slytherin boy who had been his external brain for several years.
If Omi were here, he would definitely help me uncover the clues and analyze them for useful clues, Harry thought to himself.
Not only was Harry thinking about the break-in at Gringotts, Harry was also missing his old friend.
He still didn't believe that there would be no news from those outstanding classmates.
Something must have happened!
After thinking about it in his mind, he thought of two people.
Cassandra Malfoy, and Gareth Weasley.
The descendants of these two people went to school, and one of them is still his good friend now.
But how should I ask this question? If you ask Ron directly, hey buddy, does your family have an ancestor named Gareth? Then you will definitely be asked how you know my great-grandfather.
As for Malfoy, let alone that, how could that brat who deserved a beating answer his question.
Just when I thought of Ron, I heard Ron talking loudly next to me.
"Muggles' flying objects are really cumbersome." Ron said next to him. "When I was riding Charlie's broken broom, I almost hit a glider..." Hermione raised her head and gave him a very serious look. .
The meaning in that look is, you know what I'm going to say.
Ron's face turned red immediately, and he forgot that the know-it-all lady in front of him came from a Muggle family.
Broken, bragging ran into the hands of experts.
Fortunately, Hermione just glared at him and did not expose his bragging. Ron let out a long breath.
I originally wanted to try to save myself some respect, but okay, okay...
However, he didn't brag. Draco on the Slytherin table behind him began to brag loudly.
"What a pity, Weasley, you just almost hit the glider." He boasted loudly: "You should have heard that once I almost hit a Muggle helicopter while flying, but fortunately I moved I ducked away quickly, which frightened my father and gave me a scolding.”
At the end, he added: "It's a pity that first-year students are not allowed to join the Quidditch team, otherwise I will definitely show off my talents."
"You're so bragging." Hermione complained loudly to Harry and Ron: "A little wizard like him who can't even use magic well will only be beaten to pulp by the propeller when encountering a helicopter."
Ron was her friend, and of course she would not expose him on the spot - but Draco was different. He was someone who had scolded him and even used a wand since they met.

Want her to show mercy to Draco?
dream.
"Hey! Miss...know-it-all!" Draco stopped the urge to insult Hermione and started calling Hermione by her nickname: "Do you think you know how to fly broomsticks? I bet you don't even dare to ride on one. Flying on a broomstick! ”
Hermione sneered and mocked back: "Oh, Jing Jing Ke, although I don't understand broomsticks, I do understand helicopters."
Malfoy's face suddenly turned red, and he began to say some random things, such as how Muggles were really annoying and know-it-alls, and the Gryffindor table was suddenly filled with joy.
"Draco, let's ignore them." Pansy Parkinson, who looked like a poodle, coaxed Draco: "They are just jealous of your flying talent. Don't worry, you must let them know when the flying lesson comes. Open your eyes.”
Perhaps Pansy's comfort had an effect, and Draco returned to his arrogant look again.
After all, except for the helicopter part, which is a bit outrageous, the rest is not overly boastful.
He is still very confident in his flying ability.
Draco has been flying around the Malfoy Manor on a child's broomstick since he was four years old. Do you understand the weight of a seven-year-old broomstick player?
Harry actually likes flying. Although Principal Phineas Black banned Quidditch, he didn't miss a single flying lesson.
But now he obviously has more important things to do, such as... checking for information about his old friends.
At night, then, Harry thought.
Go to the map secret room at the bottom of the castle and take a look. Perhaps Velatia, who also has ancient magic heritage, may have left him a hint there.
