I'm Really an Alchemist

"There's nothing we can do about it."

Hermione sighed lowly, propped her cheeks, and looked out the window at the heavy snow that was flying.

.....

"Professor Ivan!"

Zhou Qi thought about the details of the experiment, and when he was walking in the castle, he heard Lupine's shout.

He stopped and collected his thoughts.

Lu Ping walked quickly to Zhou Qi's side with a sincere attitude: "Professor Ivan, oh no, Dean Ivan, you haven't celebrated your becoming the new dean of Ravenclaw yet!"

Zhou Qi smiled wryly and said, "Don't make fun of me. In the minds of the students, I have already equated with the devil!"

The two stood in place, having a pleasant exchange.

Lu Ping was one of the few professors who didn't feel bad for Zhou Qi, and he wasn't there in the professor's forced palace last time. I don't know if the former werewolf knew that he was soft-spoken, or he himself agreed with Zhou Qi's approach.

But Zhou Qi has a good impression of him.

Went to the cafeteria together for lunch.

Lupine seemed to have something to say, he hesitated for a moment, and said, "Professor Ivan, can you come to my office?"

"Huh?" Zhou Qi murmured in doubt.

Lupine: "There is something I want to ask you no matter what!"

When he arrived at Lu Ping's office, Lu Ping closed the door, hesitated for a long time, and told Zhou Qi clearly about Sirius.

This is a request from a friend.

Sirius hopes to use Zhou Qi as a breakthrough point to ease the relationship between Harry Potter.

After listening to Lu Ping's explanation, Zhou Qi pursed his lips and remained silent for a long time.

"You mean, someone's pretending to be Sirius?"

Lupine nodded heavily.

Zhou Qi moved his eyes to the traceless extension box in the corner again, and said solemnly: "And the real Sirius has actually been in your office all the time...and this matter, is it approved by Headmaster Dumbledore?"

Lupine could only nod in acknowledgment.

Zhou Qi rubbed the space between his brows, and said in a low voice, "Please let me see him. If he is really not a Death Eater, I will help you and Harry to explain."

After receiving Zhou Qi's promise, Lu Ping showed joy. He quickly opened the Wuhen stretching box, and a black shadow jumped out of it.

Zhou Qi leaned on the table, startled by this vicious big black dog.

"Blake!" Lupine reprimanded quickly, showing Zhou Qi an awkward yet polite smile, the big black dog also showed a humane smile, and then changed back into a human form.

"Hello, Professor Ivan." Black stretched out his hand and said generously, "I'm Black, Orion Black!"

“…”

"I trust you." Zhou Qi sighed: "This is also my trust in the principal. Since Dumbledore let you in, he must have his reasons."

Sirius and Lupine breathed a sigh of relief.

Before discussing to tell Zhou Qi about this matter, they hesitated for a long time because they were worried that Zhou Qi would not be able to accept it.

Finally, I can rest assured.

"Professor Ivan, then Harry..." Black calmed down and couldn't wait.

Zhou Qi shook his head and said: "Harry, I will explain it to him slowly, but not now, Harry misunderstood you deeply, and it won't be clear in a while. I hope you, Mr. Black, Don't appear in front of Harry until I explain it to him."

Blake smiled bitterly.

"Dumbledore said the same thing, I understand."

Zhou Qi: "This is for your own good, and for Harry's sake. You don't want to be attacked by hatred when you appear in front of him, right?"

Black slammed his fist on the table furiously, wishing he could immediately catch the Death Eater who pretended to be him.

Fortunately, they have already convinced Zhou Qi.

Hope finally appeared.

.....

"Crabbe, don't let me know you're lying to me or you're dead!"

Draco Malfoy hid behind a tree, his nose was red from the cold, and he didn't even shake the snow off his head so as not to attract attention.

While peeping into the Forbidden Forest, he yelled at his follower Vincent Crabbe in a low voice.

Vincent: "It's true. I saw that Harry Potter and Hagrid are here every day. They raised a Hippogriff. Master, we'll see it later!"

Malfoy pulled his robes tighter, snot dripping down his nose.

He trusted his followers quite a bit.

The most important thing is to catch the handle of Harry Potter and raise magical animals, which is an incredible thing.

Who doesn't know that Hogwarts' relationship with the creatures of the Forbidden Forest is rather sour?

"Here we come." Vincent whispered suddenly, Malfoy came to his senses, and followed his fingers to look over, from the direction of Hogwarts Castle, Harry Potter walked towards the Forbidden Forest.

He walked very carefully, observing his surroundings from time to time.

If Malfoy and Vincent hadn't been hiding behind a tree with snowdrifts on their bodies as a disguise, Harry Potter might have spotted them too.

Harry Potter didn't notice the abnormality, he walked briskly and walked all the way into the Forbidden Forest hut.

Not long after, Harry came out with Hagrid.

"Harry, you haven't been discovered, have you?" Hagrid asked worriedly.

Harry said confidently: "It's Christmas holiday, they are still sleeping in bed, they won't know I'm here!"

Hagrid was also relieved, and the two came to the edge of the protective barrier.

Not long after, the Hippogriff came out from the depths of the snow-covered Forbidden Forest. It spread its wings, neighed with joy, and clung to the palms of Hagrid and Harry through the barrier.

"Well done, Crabbe!" Malfoy whispered, "You've done a great job!"

Harry and Hagrid accompanied Buckbeak until the afternoon before reluctantly leaving.

He walked briskly back to Hogwarts.

In the evening, Harry went to the cafeteria on time, but felt that the atmosphere was weird.

"Harry!"

Ron and Hermione hurried over, almost crazy with tension.

"Where did you go?" Hermione asked directly, "We've been looking for you for a long time!"

"What happened?" Harry asked puzzled.

Ron said: "Hagrid, some people say that Hagrid is a Death Eater, and this matter has gone to Dumbledore!"

"How is it possible?" Harry's first reaction was to joke, but seeing his friend's serious expression, he gradually opened his mouth and said loudly, "How could Hagrid be a Death Eater! Who is spreading rumors!"

"Someone saw Hagrid, and you were raising magical animals at the edge of the Forbidden Forest!" Hermione said seriously, "Is this true?"

Harry was dumbfounded, unable to defend himself.

Seeing his appearance, Hermione believed him for the most part, and said angrily in a low voice, "Hagrid is not clear-headed, are you messing with him too? You don't know the relationship between Hogwarts and the Forbidden Forest Change?"

Facing his friend's scolding, Harry couldn't explain it.

"Where's Hagrid?" Harry suddenly grabbed Hermione's arm, panicked: "He's not a Death Eater, he really isn't a Death Eater!"

Hermione stared at the flustered and anxious Harry for a while, then turned her head unbearably, and sighed lowly.

"Harry, we all know Hagrid can't be a Death Eater, but other people don't think so!"

Ron hung his head.

"Hagrid has voluntarily resigned from his post and was ordered to leave Hogwarts!"

Harry froze for a moment, turned around and ran out of the cafeteria.

He ran to the Forbidden Forest hut and saw Dumbledore and Professor McGonagall standing at the door of the hut. Hagrid was carrying the package with blank eyes, while Buckbeak hissed shrillly outside the protective barrier.

Harry rushed forward, begging Dumbledore to give Hagrid a chance, and he tried his best to clarify Hagrid's suspicions.

"Mr. Potter." Professor McGonagall's expression softened a lot, and she said softly, "We all know that Hagrid can't be a Death Eater, but..." She turned her head and looked at the brightly lit castle.

"It's not just right and wrong that we have to consider, there are other factors."

Hagrid spread his arms and gave Harry a warm hug.

"Harry, I won't leave you very far. Professor Dumbledore introduced me to a very good job. I will work at the Pig's Head Tavern in Hodmogg Village. I can wait for you there!"

Harry burst into tears.

Hagrid was sent out of Hogwarts. Although Hodmogg and Hogwarts were only separated by a black lake, Harry felt that they were separated by the end of the world.

He became more and more silent and withdrawn.

Hermione and Ron wanted to comfort him, but they didn't know where to start. Even if Ron racked his brains to tell some jokes and anecdotes, he didn't get any response. Harry Potter's pupils were gray.

It's like the world is gray.

Regarding Harry's situation, Draco Malfoy was the happiest. He did not hide his identity as a whistleblower at all, and appeared in front of Harry with his followers, mocking him wantonly.

Harry looked at Malfoy's eyes, full of hatred, and his body was trembling.

"Angry?" Malfoy narrowed his eyes, and the follower behind him drew out his wand, not to be outdone: "Or do you want to beat me, Potter?"

Fortunately, Professor Lupine passed by and drove Malfoy and others away, so that this conflict did not happen.

Looking at the back of his friend's son who left silently, Lupine was worried. He returned to the office and told Sirius about it.

"Hagrid is Harry's best friend, and his departure must have made Harry very sad!"

Lupine sighed.

Sirius was circling around the room anxiously, and rushed out of the room, but was grabbed by Lupine, who had quick eyesight and quick hands.

"You're crazy!" Lupine growled in horror.

Blake: "I'm not crazy, he needs us now!"
