[HP] Being a problem student at Hogwarts

When leaving the principal's office, the children were in a very low mood.

Principal Dumbledore suggested that they suspend the investigation and return their attention to their studies, and asked them not to approach the Forbidden Forest privately in the past few days.

As a result, campus life once again fell into calm, but the waves hidden under this calm were still surging - from the increasingly serious expressions of the professors, and the more and more frequent threats hovering over the school. Phoenix Fox and other signs can be deduced, but the mysterious man has still not been caught. .seven

But what Hermione read from the professors' expressions was another signal -

"We have to make a review plan for the end of the semester." She said to her friends, "organize your notes and mark the important, difficult and unclear points with different colors. Then we can exchange answers and learn from each other's strengths."

This time even Tom thought she was planning too early.

"Hermione, we still have more than two months before the exam." He said dumbfounded.

"There are only more than two months left." She said without doubt, "We have to pass this exam to enter the second grade!"

Seeing her anxiety and panic, Tom was silent for a while and told her: "Hermione, they won't expel us just because of a test. I checked the school history and found that those who were expelled in recent years were basically for raising dangerous creatures. Those who endanger the lives of classmates, or those who experiment with dangerous black magic in school endanger the lives of classmates... To put it simply, as long as there is no danger of causing death, you will not be expelled easily."

"I know..." Hermione said in a low voice, "I'm just scared...I can't imagine that one day I will be driven back to the Muggle world with a broken wand." Her eyes were red, "I mean, who can see this After magic, are you willing to go back to your original world?"

The smile on Harry's face disappeared.

"No one can really drive a wizard out of the wizarding world. This statement is too ridiculous." Tom thought of the "First Understanding of Magic" he took from the forbidden area, which ridiculed the current wizards' fear of breaking their wands. I think his attitude makes sense. The magic wand is just an auxiliary tool and cannot be called a real weakness.

"Hagrid was also expelled. He is still a wizard and still stays at Hogwarts." Tom said.

"What?" Harry and Ron shouted together.

Tom shrugged and said, "He was expelled for raising dangerous creatures and endangering the lives of his classmates. This can be easily found. It is in the archives. Mr. Filch also collects all old announcements."

"The school also has an archive?" Hermione asked.

"Otherwise, where did the school history information you read come from?" Tom asked rhetorically.

"In the library, there is a portrait of an old wizard wearing a white wig. He looks very serious, but in fact, as long as you are willing to help him run an errand to bring a message to the portrait of a girl on the observatory, he will be happy to open the door for you. Go in and have a look. But at the same time, he will inform Mrs. Pince," Tom stuck out his tongue, "that if you are caught by Mrs. Pince, you will be deducted twenty points."

"So that's how twenty cents were lost that day!" Ron said.

Tom pretended not to hear Ron's complaint and continued: "But there is still a time lag until Mrs. Pince comes to arrest the person, so I looked through the information in recent years. There is not a lot. There has been basically nothing since Principal Dumbledore took office. Write."

"I guess this is a good thing, at least it means that Headmaster Dumbledore hasn't fired anyone."

Hermione was greatly relieved. She looked calm.

"Hagrid certainly didn't mean it," said Harry. "I've seen him do magic, with his little pink umbrella—" he trailed off thoughtfully.

"It's not that weird, is it?" Ron asked.

"I mean, Hagrid just likes some big, dangerous 'cuties.' Think of Fluffy," Ron said, "But I think Hagrid is a good guy."

"He was expelled because he secretly raised a 5X-level dangerous creature and killed a classmate." Tom said seriously. "It may have been an unintentional mistake, otherwise Principal Dumbledore would not have allowed him to stay in the school." . But I suggest you play less with him. After all, the danger in the eyes of the hybrid giant is not the same as the danger in our eyes."

"Hagrid certainly didn't mean it!" Harry said angrily. He felt aggrieved for Hagrid when he heard that Hagrid was expelled. Now he was even more unhappy because of Tom's attitude towards Hagrid.

"Hybrid giant?" Ron asked in shock.

"What's the problem with half-giants?" Harry's anger turned to Ron again.

"Uh... they... they..." Ron searched for words, and finally said weakly: "They're not very good."

"What's wrong with Hagrid?" Harry became even more angry. "He brought me into the wizarding world, gave me a birthday cake as soon as we met, and helped me uphold justice in front of the Dursleys - to be honest, I have never been so happy! He also gave Hedwig to me. Since entering school, he has always cared about me and cared about every little thing about me..."

Harry yelled, "Of course you never thought it was a big deal!"

He glared stubbornly at each of his friends and said coldly: "I don't care what kind of hybrid giant he is. I don't know what's wrong with Hagrid. What happened back then must have been a misunderstanding. Hagrid is my friend and always will be." My friends. As for what you think, that’s up to you.”

He turned and left.

Ron looked at him blankly, and then looked back and forth between Hermione and Tom blankly.

"Is he angry?" Ron asked stupidly.

Tom was also in a dilemma. He asked Hermione: "Do you want to catch up?"

If he didn't catch up with Harry, he would obviously be at least involved in a cold war. But go after Harry, Tom is not particularly willing - I'm not wrong! Tom thought aggrievedly.

Hermione bit her lip and looked at them in turn, hummed, and threw her schoolbag on her back.

"Boy!" she said angrily and walked towards the library.

Now Tom felt a little more at ease - at least one smart friend thought he had done nothing wrong - so he nodded at Ron and walked to the library.

Ron stood alone, yelling at a loss: "Then what should I do!"

Tom answered him without looking back: "Hurry up and chase Harry!"

Someone had to go and comfort Harry. Tom thought with peace of mind, and then happily threw himself into learning magic, deciding to put aside the small conflicts between friends.

When Tom had to exit from the library, he was still very satisfied.

He and Hermione came to the hall to have dinner while discussing the classification of Apparition Charms.

Harry and Ron had already sat down at the long table to eat. Seeing them, Ron waved to them eagerly: "Here!"

They took a cautious look at Harry's face as they sat down. Harry still had a straight face, but he wasn't as excited as before.

So Tom tentatively called him: "Harry?"

Harry said "Hmm" and stared at his plate.

"Well, Harry, I know Hagrid is your friend, so I'm sorry that I may not have been considerate of your mood today," Tom said.

Harry finally turned to look at him.

"I have heard Ron talk about giants." Harry said seriously, "But whether Hagrid is a half-giant or not, I think he is a good person. As for his expulsion, I still insist on believing that It would not be Hagrid's original intention to hurt others. I hope you can also use your own eyes to truly know him."

"Okay, Harry," Tom replied.

"But I think Tom is right about one thing," Hermione jumped in. "The little cutie in Hagrid's eyes is dangerous to us, so it's always right to be careful when coming and going. Think about it. A three-headed dog. If Hagrid's 'cute little pet' hurts us, he will be sad too."

Harry nodded.
