I swung a sword at Hogwarts

"Yeah, that's right," Hagrid said sarcastically, "You can't even line up. There's no one but John!"

At the end, Hagrid's loud voice was a bit painful to the ears.

"He's taken thirteen courses," Ron yelled, "and he can barely get through."

"He comes to my class, every time!" Hagrid peeled a potato hard, and a large piece of potato flesh was peeled off by him.

"That's different..." Harry tried to argue.

For example, John has the right to attend class freely, but when he was about to say something, he was frightened by a giant white bug that suddenly appeared.

It was slimy and white, and wriggling disgustingly like maggots.

Ron was so terrified that he even forgot about losing his goalkeeper position.

"These are giant grubs," Hagrid said in a dull voice. "I raise them to feed Aragog."

Hagrid's stern face could no longer hold back and he suddenly started crying.

"Hagrid?" Hermione didn't know what was going on.

"Aragog, I think it's dying. It's been in bad shape since it was lost from its pack."

Hagrid was very sad.

The three little ones looked confused. After thinking for a while, they remembered the tribe that was burned down by John.

Ron shuddered at the thought of the giant spider.

They really had a hard time understanding Hagrid's idea of ​​cuteness.

"Can we, can we do anything?" Hermione didn't like the spiders, but she ignored Ron who was winking at her to keep silent, and asked.

"There's nothing I can do. I asked John," Hagrid wiped his tears, "It has lost its tribe, so I have to move it to another place."

The three little ones really didn't want to know where that place was.

"It lives near Grawp. By the way, you'd never guess that Grawp can already tie his shoelaces."

The atmosphere was not as tense as before, and Hagrid mentioned his giant brother.

Ron mouthed to the other two, "See, I told you."

Harry wondered, "How can a giant tie his shoelaces? How can he wear shoes?"

"John was his teacher," Hagrid said, less sadly. "He also made toys and shoes for Grawp."

Harry and Ron looked at each other.

"I knew you'd find it hard to fit me into your timetable," said Hagrid gruffly, "even with your Time-Turner."

"We can't use it. We smashed up the Ministry's stock when we were there," said Hermione.

"Okay, who of you wants to go with me to see Grawp?" Hagrid looked at the time and thought he should show the three little ones Grawp's results.

The three of them were somewhat resistant, but Hagrid couldn't see that at all.

Warmly invite the three people over.

After entering the Forbidden Forest, Harry remembered the last time he went to the Forbidden Forest and whispered, "Hermione, do you remember that big guy?"

"It might be a magical creature from the Forbidden Forest," Hermione whispered back.

Ron was a little dissatisfied. What little secret were these two people talking about?

"Hey, look, it's a Zouwu. It's so energetic." Hagrid exclaimed in surprise.

A big cat was rampaging in the forbidden forest, and a fur ball bounced down from the sky.

The three little ones were so scared that they almost took out their wands. When the big fur ball was about to hit them, Zouwu appeared and slapped the ball away.

Just now, Harry clearly saw Zouwu far away, but suddenly he appeared nearby.

"That's it!" Hermione exclaimed.

Harry also recognized Zouwu, the large cat he had encountered in the Forbidden Forest last school year.

With its big peony-like tail wagging, Zou Wu noticed the three little guys brought by Hagrid, and tilted his head with a look of interest.

"The Zouwu are very friendly, don't be afraid," Hagrid explained.

But the three little ones couldn't stand it anymore, and Zouwu's big head approached them, but Hagrid waved him back.

At this moment, a voice sounded above the Forbidden Forest.

A ball of fur flew across the sky. Zou Wu's pupils dilated and he immediately chased after it.

Hagrid led the three frightened people to the cave.

After arriving at the cave, the cave changed drastically.

Grawp was holding a wooden club, and his size and the club made the three men hesitate for a moment.

Hagrid acted as if he couldn't see it and shouted happily, "Grawp, I brought someone to see you."

Grawp turned around, and Harry saw that he actually had shoes on his feet.

No complicated laces though.

Grawp saw Hermione and mumbled, "Hermione..."

Hermione was stunned. Grawp looked at Harry again, stretched out his stubby fingers, and said in the same way: "Harry - Potter -"

"Oh my God, he said our names!" Hermione exclaimed in amazement.

The same went for Harry. To be honest, neither of them expected the giant to call out their names.

Grawp turned his finger towards Ron and murmured for a long moment, unable to come up with a name.

Ron had hoped that the giant would call him by his name, but in the end he was the only one who couldn't.

Brother Hai said proudly, "Glop and John are getting smarter after learning."

Seeing the big stick, Hagrid asked, "What are you doing with that stick?"

The three little ones didn't think Grawp could answer, but the result was surprising.

Grawp scratched his head and mumbled something unclear, but some of it could still be heard.

"Play, ball——"

After that, Grawp gave a demonstration.

He picked up the rolling ball of wool from the side, threw it up with his left hand, and swung the bat with his right hand, creating a huge gust of wind that made people unable to stand steadily.

The ball of fur flew quickly towards the forbidden forest like a cannonball.

When Harry looked, he realized that this was the ball of fur that had led the Zouwu away.

No, Grawp can play ball now?

The three stunned people didn't know what to say. John not only taught Grawp how to tie his shoelaces, but also taught him how to play ball.

What they saw today refreshed their cognition.

Hermione also saw a campfire and a blackboard in the cave.

Hagrid said that John was going to teach Grawp to read.

This made the three of them completely numb.

Finally, the three of them returned to the castle with this numb feeling.

As they headed to the Great Hall, Ron's face fell.

Cormac McLaggen was talking up how easily he had gotten the goalkeeping position.

Malfoy also saw Harry and walked over to challenge him, "I heard that Gryffindor changed its goalkeeper? Potter, you finally did the right thing, didn't you?"

Seeing this, Harry started to wrestle with Malfoy.

Then, a nightmare that he hadn't seen for a long time appeared before him.

Snape.

...

Chapter 441 Snape Returns to Work

Snape's appearance here is the worst news.

This means that Gryffindor's good days are over.

"Ten points off, Potter." The familiar tone made Harry shudder.

Snape said in a very uncomfortable voice: "Detention tonight."

"Snape?" Harry called out subconsciously when he saw the long, sallow face.

"It seems that you have not learned what politeness is," Snape raised his eyelids and said, "Disrespecting the professor, deduct 5 points."

Harry was retching against the wall after Malfoy punched him twice in the stomach.

He swore that if he vomited, Snape would definitely continue to deduct points from him for dirtying the floor.

He glared at Malfoy fiercely.

Malfoy crossed his arms across his chest and smiled quietly, suggestively.

Harry was unconvinced and said, "Malfoy was the one who came here to cause trouble first!"

"I have eyes, Potter," Snape said sarcastically, "I can see that it was you who rushed forward like a mad dog."

Harry held his breath and walked straight towards the hall.

Hermione helped Ron up. Ron wanted to help just now, but was hit on the forehead by the back of Harry's head.

Snape's mouth corners raised slightly, and he looked in a good mood.

Malfoy returned to the Slytherin table and announced that Harry Potter's good days were over.

"Snape finally walked out of his office."

After being fired from his position as Defense Against the Dark Arts professor on the first day of school, Snape went on strike for a month.

Coming back now means that the Potions class will return to Snape's hands.

Slughorn arrived in the Great Hall, his belly swaying as he walked up to the Slytherin table.

"Oh, great, you're all here." Slughorn looked delighted.

He said loudly and enthusiastically, "How about a quick dinner at my place tonight? Malfoy, Miss Greengrass, Zabini, and of course I would be delighted if John could come along."

He hopes to add these "collections" to his collection.

Blaise raised his hand and asked, "Is Ginny Weasley going?"

Slughorn smiled and said, "How did you know that? I invited the beautiful Miss Ginny Weasley on my way here?"

Now that Blaise heard Ginny was there, he couldn't wait to go over.

Malfoy was a little unhappy. Miss Greengrass? What about Astoria?

But Slughorn turned to look at the sisters sitting together and said, "I very much hope that both Miss Greengrasses will be able to come and show us the honor of visiting us."

"You two?" Astoria pointed at herself blankly and asked uncertainly, "Can I go too?"

"Of course," said Slughorn enthusiastically. "You are a sight to behold on the Quidditch pitch."

Astoria's performance on the Quidditch field conquered the discerning headmaster and made Malfoy suddenly like Slughorn.

Bowing slightly to the two, Slughorn was going to invite others.

John saw him heading towards the Gryffindor table and stopped Harry and the others.

"Great, Atto, I knew you would be invited." Malfoy is really two-faced.

He spoke to Astoria happily, and even wanted to pat her on the head, but was forced back by Daphne's murderous gaze.

"John, are you going over?" Daphne inquired.

"I have something else to do," John said without saying what he was busy with. "Keep an eye on Blaise. I feel like this guy is as crazy as if he had drunk a love potion."

Hearing this, Daphne looked at the excited Blaise.
