Chapter 148: Li Huo in the Dream

If we were to say who in Hogwarts could help Suze obtain information quickly, Hagrid would definitely be the best.

This big sieve has provided various confidential information to Harry Potter and others more than once. Although Hagrid is indeed a simple, honest, and kind-hearted person with a sense of justice, he is obviously not good at keeping secrets.

Remember last semester, Quirrell, who was controlled by Voldemort, only used a little trick to get the method of defeating the three-headed dog from the big guy. Hagrid even revealed this to Harry Potter. If the whole thing had not been under the control of Dumbledore, Hagrid would have been in big trouble.

And now, facing Hagrid, Su Ze was like seeing a huge treasure trove, which contained all kinds of information about Hogwarts.

Hagrid's eyes became a little alert, and his huge body subconsciously shrank back.

"I, I don't quite understand you, sir."

"Relax, Hagrid, I'm not your enemy." Suze narrowed his eyes, staring closely at the half-blood giant in front of him, and showed a friendly smile. "I came here to protect Hogwarts and Harry."

"Protect Hogwarts and Harry"

Hagrid was much more cautious than Su Ze had imagined. He did not let down his guard because of a few words. Instead, he looked at Su Ze with even more suspicion.

"Hogwarts is supposed to be the safest place in the world, sir. I don't understand what kind of threat could have invaded here."

“The safest place~”

Su Ze's smile was a little speechless. He shook his head slightly and for a moment he didn't know how to complain.

This was probably the funniest joke he had ever heard since he came to this world. Ever since Harry Potter came to Hogwarts to study, all kinds of incredible dangers had befallen him.

Even around Halloween every year, the students of Hogwarts feel like they are going through a tribulation.

The first few years were fine. Although there was a lot of chaos, at least there were no casualties. But things were different in the following years. As the war with Voldemort officially started, Hogwarts completely became a crossfire between multiple forces.

However, this also proves from an indirect aspect how strong the foundation of Hogwarts, a thousand-year-old school, is - Professor Quirrell brutally killed the unicorn, but the students were in class; the basilisk in the Chamber of Secrets came out to hurt people, but the students were in class; the criminals in Azkaban escaped from prison, but the students were in class; even when Voldemort was resurrected, the students were still in class.

In this school, it seems that no matter what happens, it is impossible to stop students from attending classes.

"Hagrid, you have to understand that if we were to bring danger to Harry, then Headmaster Dumbledore would not allow outsiders like us to stay in the school."

Su Ze took a step forward, lowered his voice, and spoke with a little seriousness.

"Just think of me as someone with a strong sense of crisis. Tell me, has anything strange happened in Hogwarts during this time? This is also for the safety of everyone. What do you think?"

Hearing this, Hagrid didn't know what to do. After hesitating for a while, he began to rack his brains to think.

"Su, it's not that I don't want to say it, but I really don't think there is anything wrong, except that my beloved Norbert was taken away by the Ministry of Magic last year. Oh, my poor little guy, he lost his mother shortly after he was born. I mean the father, it's a lovely Norwegian Spinosaurus, I raised him myself."

"Stop, stop, stop, that's not what I'm talking about." Seeing that Hagrid was about to wipe his tears, Su Ze interrupted him. "I mean, has anything unusual happened in Hogwarts?"

"Something unusual?" Hagrid thought about it and shook his head. "This is just a school. How could something unusual happen?"

"For example, have there been any special energy reactions in Hogwarts before, or students going missing, or environmental changes?" Su Ze gave a few examples.

Hagrid patted his stomach and thought for a long time before he looked down at Su Ze and answered tentatively.

"Does the disappearance of Professor Quirrell count? He was the professor of Defense Against the Dark Arts. He suddenly disappeared last school year. Speaking of which, the Defense Against the Dark Arts class was cursed by a mysterious person. No one can last more than a year."

"What else?" What Su Ze wanted to know was not about Voldemort, he wanted to know if there were any changes outside the plot.

"Other than that, there's nothing else to say, Su. I know you're concerned about the safety of Hogwarts, but it's really safe here. After all, Headmaster Dumbledore is here, right?" Hagrid smiled easily.

But Su Ze's expression did not relax. He just felt that the situation might be more serious than he imagined.

From the Skrulls' Secret Invasion War, Su Ze learned a very important lesson, which is that sometimes, the calmer the situation, the more severe the disaster that will follow.

Hoping that he was overthinking it, Su Ze shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, Hagrid suddenly thought of something, lowered his head and spoke with a smile.

"By the way, if you want to talk about strange things, I had a dream last night. It was quite interesting. I actually dreamed that Hogwarts was on fire. The whole school was in flames, and even the Forbidden Forest was burned. It seems that I have been a little anxious recently."

Unlike Hagrid's cheerful appearance, Su Ze, who was originally leaning on the sofa, suddenly sat up straight with a strange light flashing in his eyes.

His mind was working rapidly, and Su Ze felt as if he had grasped something key, but he didn't know how to explain it.

"When did you dream?"

"I can't remember, late at night, two or three? I guessed." Hagrid answered truthfully. He didn't think it was a big deal. But Su Ze turned his head and looked at Rocket Raccoon, his expression was a little solemn and serious.

“It’s about time we got here.”

Rocket Raccoon murmured sinisterly, and Su Ze nodded slightly.

"If it's not a coincidence."

Seeing that Suze and Rocket Raccoon suddenly changed their previous attitude, as if they were facing a formidable enemy, Hagrid was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes kept moving back and forth between the man and the raccoon.

At first, Hagrid didn't think too much of it, but the looks on Suze and Rocket's faces made it a little hard for him to laugh.

Slowly putting away his smile, Hagrid felt a little uneasy.

".It was just a dream, right?"

Hearing Hagrid's voice, Su Ze raised his head slightly and asked seriously.

"Hagrid, can you tell me in detail what happened in your dream, what kind of fire, where it started, and the details of when the fire occurred."

"I, I can't remember clearly."

Hagrid licked his dry lips. He knew that these Orientals were good at interpreting dreams, so when he saw Su Ze's expression become extremely serious, he also felt as if something was going to happen.

Hagrid himself was not very afraid, but he was particularly worried about the safety of Dumbledore and Harry Potter. He didn't want the disaster to happen without warning because of his own negligence.

After closing his eyes and recalling for a long time, Hagrid slowly spoke.

"I have forgotten the specific circumstances. I only remember that I seemed to be very sad at the time, very, very sad. I didn't know where I was going, but I should have been walking outside Hogwarts. At this time, I suddenly heard a scream, and when I turned around, the fire was burning."

"What kind of fire?" Su Ze asked anxiously.

"Cursed flames, I'm sure of it."

Hagrid didn't hesitate this time, he answered immediately.

"The flame seemed determined not to stop until Hogwarts was completely burned down. It quickly devoured everything around it. I wanted to put it out, but a voice told me that the flame could not be extinguished."

"Unquenchable flame" Su Ze subconsciously thought of Amaterasu, but he quickly shook his head. From Hagrid's description, the flame should be a normal color instead of black.

At the same time, Su Ze also thought of a more suitable magic - the Fierce Fire Curse.

Fiery flames are one of the purest forms of black magic, and their destructive power is extremely terrifying. These flames can mimic all kinds of monsters, and once cast, they will not distinguish between friend or foe, and will invade and devour all objects around them.

Only powerful wizards can control and resist this black magic. The currently known counter-spell is that several wizards jointly cast the spell to stop all spells, so as to achieve the effect of ending all spells. As for the exclusive counter-spell, it remains a mystery.

But what Su Ze was curious about was who had such powerful strength that he could set Hogwarts on fire right under Dumbledore's nose.

Could it be Voldemort?

Su Ze narrowed his eyes. The possibility of this guy was very high. After all, the Fierce Fire Curse originated from this world. It was highly unlikely that it was used by a visitor from another universe.

In the entire wizarding world, perhaps only Dumbledore, Grindelwald and Voldemort are good at using Fiendfyre and strong enough to control this power.

But then again, Grindelwald had long since let go of the past, and Voldemort currently had no way to be resurrected. Unless Dumbledore himself was unable to get over it, Suze was not sure who would do such a thing.

"Su, do you think there is anything wrong with this dream?" Hagrid asked in confusion when he saw Su Ze didn't speak for a long time.

"At the moment, I have no clue." Su Ze shook his head slightly. After all, he had just arrived here not long ago, and a mere dream could not explain anything.

Hearing this, Hagrid thought about it for a while and then didn't take it seriously.

"I said it was just an ordinary dream. I'm not a natural prophet. Having a weird dream doesn't mean anything. By the way, you haven't eaten yet, right? I baked some rock cakes for you."

Then Hagrid put on his gloves again and brought out a few brick-like cakes from the fireplace, dotted with raisins.

Seeing this scene, Su Ze's mouth twitched.

"Uh, I'm not hungry. You should use it to sharpen Rocket's teeth."
