Hogwarts: Voldemort, don't stop me from studying

"What do you want to do?"

Malfoy immediately sat up alertly, even subconsciously grabbing his wand.

Wade grabbed the tip of his wand and pressed it down, leaning forward slightly, and said with a smile: "Malfoy, shall we talk?"

Chapter 335: Vader's Threat

"What to talk about?"

Malfoy was a little afraid of Vader, he stammered.

Vader pointed to the blood on his sleeve.

"This injury was just a common teaching accident. It happens every day at Hogwarts. You won't take this opportunity to mess everything up, right?"

If someone else had said this to him, Malfoy would have described his injuries as serious as possible, but Wade knew what he had done to Crabbe.

Malfoy himself did not receive any severe punishment for the nearly fatal injury, although he still has to be detained every day...

Compared to that time, the wound on his arm was really nothing to mention.

But Malfoy was unwilling to let it go. He pursed his lips tightly and his gray-blue eyes looked particularly gloomy.

"If I say no, are you going to tell anyone about it?" Malfoy asked in a low voice.

On the bed next to them, Harry looked over curiously but didn't hear clearly what they were saying.

Ryan was a little further away and looked over.

"Of course not. After all, Mr. Malfoy spent a fortune on you."

Wade smiled and said softly, "But I don't mind letting everyone know that the heir of the Malfoy family is a waste. He is good for nothing except calling daddy, and he cries like a three-year-old girl when he gets a little hurt."

"You - you dare!" Malfoy turned pale with anger.

"Why not? Isn't what I said true?"

Wade pressed Malfoy's wand onto his quilt and continued, "You can ask your father, the school director, to force the school to expel Hagrid. You can also ask the Ministry of Magic to execute the beast that hurt people. This is your power."

"But I can also let the whole world know that Draco Malfoy is a coward and not a man at all... I can even let this label follow you for the rest of your life. Do you want to try?"

Malfoy was completely stunned. His lips moved subconsciously a few times, as if he wanted to fight back, or as if he wanted to get angry, but in the end, no sound came out.

His face turned paler little by little.

"Don't worry, I was just making a casual remark."

Wade patted him on the shoulder and said, "Actually, I want to tell you - if you are willing to forgive Hagrid, maybe he can take you to see a dragon? Maybe you can even touch it."

"You remember the dragon, right? The one that was kept on the school's Quidditch pitch for a while. It's still in the Forbidden Forest, and Hagrid visits it often."

"Oh, if you don't want to go, that's fine. I just thought your name is 'Dragon' too, maybe you'd be interested in dragons... In fact, Hagrid has a good relationship with the centaurs and unicorns in the Forbidden Forest."

"As a professor of Care of Magical Creatures, Hagrid is actually quite good. So when he accidentally makes a mistake, we should give him a second chance, right?"

Malfoy was silent, his hands trembling slightly on the quilt, but he didn't say a word.

Wade didn't force him to give a definite answer right away. He turned around and asked about Harry's injuries.

"Actually, I don't feel any pain after applying the medicine." Harry said with a bitter face, "Now I just feel uncomfortable in my stomach and want to vomit."

"Don't do that." Vader warned, "What if you spit it out and Madam Pomfrey asks you to drink another glass?"

"No way?"

Harry's face turned pale with fear. As he spoke, he tried hard to smooth down the potion that seemed to be still stuck in his esophagus through his chest.

"Why don't I see Hermione and the others?" Wade asked.

"It was almost time for class, and Madam Pomfrey sent everyone away," Harry explained.

At this moment, the door of the ward was pushed open again, and a red-haired head poked in.

Ginny Weasley glanced at Harry shyly, dropped her eyes to the floor and said, "Professor Hagrid! Professor McGonagall wants you to go to the Headmaster's office!"

"W-what? Calling me? Right now?"

Hagrid was chatting happily with the children, imagining how future lessons should be taught, but he suddenly came back to reality after hearing this and spoke tremblingly.

"Yes."

Ginny Weasley replied quickly and glanced at Harry furtively, as if she wanted to ask a question but didn't dare to.

Hagrid stood up, his head almost touching the ceiling.

"If I get fired—" He looked at the children around him and said sadly, "I will definitely tell the new professor about your suggestions."

Michael and others didn't know how to comfort him.

Just as Hagrid was about to go out, Draco Malfoy on the hospital bed suddenly said, "Wait!"

Everyone looked at him. He paused, then as if he had made up his mind, he said, "I'll go with you."

Ginny frowned and said, "Professor McGonagall only told me to ask Professor Hagrid to go."

"She must be there because of our injuries. I'm the person involved, so of course I have the right to go!"

Malfoy raised his head, looked at her proudly, and said.

Then he turned and glanced at Vader viciously.

"Then I'll go too!"

Harry frowned and was about to get up from the bed.

"No!" Madam Pomfrey suddenly came in, as if she had been prepared for any emergency, and quickly pushed Harry back: "Your wound has not healed yet, don't run around."

"But I'm going to tell Dumbledore the truth! If I don't go, Hagrid might be expelled!" Harry shouted.

"No, no... your health is more important..." Hagrid said with emotion: "I... as a professor, I should indeed take responsibility..."

"but--"

"Just lie down! Dumbledore knows everything!" Madam Pomfrey said unhappily, "If you have anything to say, wait until your injury is healed before you say it. Now, don't even think about slipping away from under my nose!"

Harry tried to protest, but Madam Pomfrey was unwilling to compromise.

Malfoy sneered, used [Restore to Original] on his school robe, put on his boots and got out of bed.

When he walked to Hagrid, he glanced at the professor who looked like a savage, with undisguised contempt on his face.

But he said, "I heard you still keep that dragon?"

Hagrid was stunned: "You mean Norbeta? She is such a good girl, really, I have never seen such a lovely child... If her mother is gone, who will take care of her..."

Malfoy: "...her mother is in the Forbidden Forest too? Another dragon?"

Hagrid pulled out a dirty handkerchief that looked like a bed sheet and wiped his nose, then shook his head and said, "No... I am her mother."

Malfoy's expression suddenly became indescribable.

Wade looked at their backs and smiled softly. He said goodbye to Harry and went to prepare for the next class.

On the way out, Ryan walked up to him and said, "Ved, I didn't know you liked Professor Hagrid so much."

Wade glanced back at him, guessing that Ryan might have heard his threats to Malfoy.

He sighed softly and said, "Dumbledore will not fire Hagrid. Even the Ministry of Magic has no right to interfere with which professor Hogwarts hires."

"But if this matter is not properly resolved, Hagrid is likely to go from one extreme to another - can you imagine the whole third grade taking care of Flobberworms endlessly?"

Ryan's eyes widened. "No way? Flobberworms aren't part of the OWLs exam! They're not the focus of our textbooks either."

"Trust me, he will."

"I'd rather face a dragon or a sphinx in Care of Magical Creatures than have our professor come over with a bucket of harmless caterpillars and teach us to stuff lettuce leaves down their throats," said Wade helplessly.

Chapter 336 Professor Hagrid's Progress

The incident in which Malfoy and Harry were scratched by the Hippogriff was ultimately treated as an ordinary classroom accident.

When Malfoy no longer insisted on pursuing the matter, he thought that such a small matter was nothing at Hogwarts, but Professor McGonagall still criticized Hagrid for being too aggressive in class and should not have brought in such a dangerous creature at the beginning.

"So I thought Flobberworms might be a good idea," Hagrid said thoughtfully. "And I just happened to find a nest of them recently, and I was going to give them to Aragog as a snack..."

"Puff—" Ryan spat out the tea, coughing and saying in shock: "What? What did you say?"

"It's a Flobberworm!" Hagrid explained, puzzled by his excitement. "It's a toothless worm, a harmless little creature."

"I know...but..."

Ryan looked at Wade, who raised his eyebrows and said:

"We'd like to continue with Hippogriffs next class, Professor Hagrid. It's not fair that Gryffindors and Slytherins have it and we don't."

"But it's dangerous..." Hagrid said hesitantly.

"Haven't you figured out how to ensure safety?" Michael said bluntly, "Besides, no one wants to see a Flobberworm. You'll be disliked by all the students."

Michael was usually very tactful in his speech, but he had discovered that he had to speak directly to the new professor so that he would listen.

Hagrid still couldn't make up his mind. "If any students are afraid of Buckbeak and the others, and they get angry..."

"Why not prepare some non-dangerous little creatures? Like Bowtruckles?" Wade said, "Those who want to take risks can take risks, and those who don't want to take risks can play with the little ones."

"Is this... okay?" Hagrid asked uncertainly.

"Of course!" Michael said confidently, "Everyone will love it!"

Although Hagrid was a professor, he had just obtained this position and had just made a mistake. He was seriously lacking in confidence and was easily persuaded.

"Okay... okay... I'll try it as you say..." Hagrid said nervously.

Michael and others cheered immediately, and Wade also smiled.

He had to take the Care of Magical Creatures class for at least three years, and in order to not have to face caterpillars and blasting-tailed skrewts all the time during those three years, he actively helped to solve this accident.

Fortunately, Hagrid did not become stubborn just because he was older and knew more about magical creatures. He humbly accepted his students' suggestions.

Even later, after Michael and others left, Hagrid found Wade again and invited him to visit his cabin.

"Thank you, Vader."
