Harry Potter's Bastard

After the second project, the most wonderful thing was that everyone was anxious to find out what was going on under the lake, which meant that Ron was once again getting attention and being the subject of questions from the students. Ron told the story over and over again, and each time it was slightly different. At first, what he said was quite true, much the same as Hermione's claim - in Professor McGonagall's office, Dumbledore used magic to hypnotize the hostages, and first assured them that they were absolutely not in danger and would wake up as soon as they came out of the water. A week later, however, Ron tells a thrilling kidnapping story of how he fought fifty heavily armed merfolk with his bare hands, forcing him to compel him before tying him up.

Hermione didn't like Ron's approach, but she didn't bother with him. Because Hermione knew that the relationship between the two of them was already strained, and she didn't want to quarrel with Ron again.

In March, the weather has become clearer, but every time I come to the field outside, the cold wind still blows people's hands and faces. The Magical Creature Protection class, or as Draco put it, the Snail Breeding Class started as usual after the second program, and Hagrid listened to Dumbledore and came to teach the students as usual. But the way the students looked at him always made him very uncomfortable.

The influence of the Daily Prophet in the wizarding world is very large, and most of the students have read Skeeter's report, and even if they haven't read it, they have heard it from others.

Originally, many students did not have a particularly good impression of Hagrid, especially Slytherin and Ravenclaw, and even many Hufflepuff and Gryffindor students rejected Hagrid a little because of this report. The wizards knew too well what kind of race the giants were, and even if Hagrid was only half of the giant blood, the students were still a little worried. After all, Hagrid had been in a teaching accident in his class, and many students had attended the hearing in the small hall last year.

Hagrid walked to the side alone after explaining that the students continued to take care of the snails, and the students' evasive eyes and deliberately distanced themselves stung him, maybe Hagrid was usually very aggressive, but after that report, Hagrid became extremely sensitive, and any laughter would be interpreted by Hagrid as laughing at his giant blood.

Hagrid's expression was watched by Harry and the others, who had gone to see Hagrid last time, and although he had promised to come back to teach, it seemed that Hagrid was still not free from the impact of the report.

It's class time, and the students are reluctantly taking care of the fried snails, and although many students don't think much of Hagrid, he is a professor, a professor who can deduct their marks. No matter how reluctant the students were, they still had to honestly follow his instructions.

But Harry didn't have that concern, they didn't think Hagrid would deduct their points for such a trivial matter, and besides, they didn't care about the score now.

Harry slipped up to Hagrid's side and looked at the dejected big friend.

"Hagrid, listen to me—" Harry stepped forward and patted Hagrid's arm, if it weren't for Hagrid's sitting on the rock, Harry wouldn't have been able to pat him on the arm.

"Nobody is going to care about that report, you should cheer up, you can't let that woman from Skeeter get away with it, she just wants to see you like this!"

"That's right, Hagrid, you're a Gryffindor! show your courage!" Ron shook his fist, "You can't be knocked out by those unfounded words. "

"I'm not Gryffindor...... Hagrid sniffed, "Have you forgotten? I was expelled and didn't graduate." "

Harry and the others looked at each other, Hagrid was really right, Hagrid was expelled from Hogwarts after only two years of schooling, and he didn't even have a normal wizarding certificate.

"And ......," Hagrid rubbed his nose in his huge hand, "they all cared about the report, didn't you see the eyes of the students? they were afraid of me, they were afraid that I would hurt them—like giants." "

Harry looked at Hermione, who hadn't spoken, and motioned for her to say something as well.

"Hagrid, are you the kind of person they think you are?" asked Hermione, "Are you tyrannical and cruel when you have half of the Giant's blood?"

"Of course I'm not!"

"Then why do you care about what they think?" asked Hermione again, "since you're not who they think you are, why should you worry about their opinions? People will always see the truth, Hagrid, they just need time." "

Seeing that Hagrid didn't speak, Hermione continued, "Think about it, because of that person, you were wronged, and you were expelled from Hogwarts, and you were broken by the Ministry of Magic, but the truth was not covered up, was it? "

"Justice may be late, but it will never be absent. Hermione concluded.

"That's great! Harry looked at Hagrid, "Do you hear that?" "Justice may be late, but it will never be absent" is a good saying, worthy of Hermione. "

"Actually, Solim said that......" Hermione was a little embarrassed, "and he also said ......"

"He's a Slytherin going to say something like that?" Ron looked at Hermione suspiciously, incredulous.

"Say what?" asked Harry curiously.

"Hmm...... He also said...... That's shit. Hermione hesitated to say the last word, after all, she had never said such a word.

"Hmph, I knew Slytherin wasn't a good thing. "

He said that justice that is delayed is not justice. Hermione glanced at Ron and ignored him.

"But in any case, Hagrid, you shouldn't be influenced by those people, and over time, people will eventually know what kind of person you are, and then the lies of that woman Skeeter will be exposed. "

"Who knows when?" said Ron, "and I should say that we should teach that woman a lesson, and the next time we see him, we should expose her lies on the spot." Look at the lies she made up, what happened at the Quidditch World Cup made that woman spread rumors, and my dad worked overtime for it, and he was held accountable by the ministry for what he said to that woman. "

Skeeter's ability to spread rumors was top-notch, and there were no fatalities at the Quidditch World Cup, but this woman dared to write sentences like "It is said that nearly 100 corpses were brought out of the stadium afterwards", and this sentence turned the Ministry of Magic into a sea of roaring letters.

"Maybe we can really teach that woman a lesson...... Hermione thought, "I heard a little secret about that woman from Solim this morning. "
