Chapter 184: Not too big

Great mistake by Dumbledore!
Our special correspondent Rita Skeeter reports that the principal of Hogwarts School of Magic, the eccentric Abbus Dumbledore, has always dared to hire controversial faculty.
In September of this year, he hired Alastor, "Mad-Eye" Moody, as a teacher in the Dark Arts Defense Division, a decision that surprised many in the Ministry of Magic.
Moody is an infamous fierce god. He has been an Auror before. As we all know, as long as someone suddenly moves in front of him, he will launch an attack.
However, compared to the half-human half-demon that Dumbledore hired to teach the course on the protection of magical creatures, Mad-Eye Moody was seriously responsible and kind.
...

The news of the Daily Prophet is very time-sensitive, and just after the Christmas holiday, the news that Hagrid has a giant bloodline has been brought to the headlines by Rita Skeeter.
She sharply recounted a host of harmful remarks about the giant and passed them all on to Hagrid. To enhance her persuasion, she even asked a student for a small interview.
"I was attacked by a hawk-winged winged beast. My friend Vincent Crab was bitten by a Frobe caterpillar." In an interview, a draco named Marc Fu's fourth-grader said, "We all hate Hagrid, but we dare not be angry."
Obviously, halfway through last night's prom, it wasn't just those who showed up that Hagrid and Madame Maxim were overhearing.
On the day the newspaper was released, Hagrid took a leave of absence, and the substitute professor was a witch named "Wilmina Grapland".
To be honest, no matter how she deals with magical creatures, at least her teaching level is indeed much better than Hagrid. She brought you a practical class about beautiful unicorns. The beautiful and pure creatures made a very good impression on the students.
But Harry they looked very anxious, they were fine a few days ago! Where has Hagrid gone?
When Professor Grapland brought the girls closer to the unicorns, Harry turned to Ron and said, "What do you think happened to him? It wouldn't be a fried tail snail--"
"Oh, Potter, if you're worried about that, I can tell you he wasn't attacked," Malfoy said softly. "No, he's just too shy to dare to show his ugly face."
"What do you mean?" Harry asked sharply.
Malfoy reached into his robe's pocket and pulled out a folded newspaper.
"Look at it yourself," he said with a smug smile, "I really don't want to tell you the news, Potter ..."
It was that headline article with a picture of Hagrid on it, and his face looked sneaky.
"How did she find out?" Ron whispered.
But Harry wasn't thinking about this.
"What do you mean? 'We all hate Hagrid'?" Harry snapped Malfoy, "what a jerk?" He pointed at Crabbe again, "he was ruthless by a Frober caterpillar Take a bite? They don't even have teeth! "
Crabbe smirked smirkly, apparently very proud.
"Okay, I think it's time to end this idiot's teaching career." Malfoy said, eyes twinkling, "Mixed blood giant ... I thought he only drank a bottle of biotin when he was a kid ... Neither the parents of students Promise ... they are worried that he will eat their children, haha ​​... "
"you--"
Soon after class time, the girls returned with Professor Grapland.
"It was a great class," Hermione said as they entered the auditorium. "Professor Grapland has told us about unicorns, and I don't even know--"
"Look at this!" Harry growled angrily, shoving the articles of the Daily Prophet under Hermione's nose.
Hermione read her article and opened her mouth in surprise. She reacted exactly like Ron.
"How did that pesky woman Skit inquire? Wouldn't Hagrid tell her?"
Recently, Ron and Hermione seemed to have reached a tacit agreement, and they both kept silent about their quarrel. Now they are friendly to each other, but they are polite and seem a bit unnatural.
Just a few days ago, they discussed the height of the giant together. Hermione remembered the book as saying twenty feet, but Harry remembered that Maka had mentioned it as thirty feet.
But today, they have no time to discuss those issues.
"We must go and see him," Harry said. "Just tonight, after the divination class. Tell him we want him back ... Do you want him back?" He asked Hermione coldly.
"I — oh, I don't want to tell lies, and occasionally have a decent protection biology class, it's not bad to change my taste-but I do hope Hagrid comes back, I certainly hope!" Angrily frightened, he added quickly.
So, after having dinner that day, the three of them left the castle again, walked through the snow-covered field, and walked towards Hagrid's hut-they wanted to go with Maca, but who knows, Maca doesn't know Where have you been?
When they reached the door of Hagrid's hut, Harry stepped forward and knocked on the door, and the low bark of Tooth sounded immediately behind the door.
"Hagrid, it's us!" Harry called, slamming the door, "open the door!"
Hagrid didn't answer. They could hear Yaya scratching the door and whispering softly, but the door didn't open. They knocked heavily for more than ten minutes. Ron even knocked on a window, but there was no response.
This time, Hagrid seemed determined to fail.
"I always think Maca should be in here now ..." Harry couldn't help but look back. "He always does that, and every time he pops up in the most critical place, scaring us all jump."
But unfortunately, Maca is really not here this time.
He knew from the news in the Daily Prophet that even that night he saw Rita Skeeter in the form of Animagus, but he did not mean to prevent this episode from happening.
Hogwarts needs a little chaos right now-if the water was too clear, no hand would be willing to reach in to catch the fish.
Of course, the premise is that Skit did not direct the flames to him ...
At least for now, Maca's warning to Rita Skeeter is still very useful, which is evident from the news reports that even Maca's name has not appeared.
While Harry was worrying about Hagrid's affairs, Maca was walking alone in an alley in Hogsmeade Village.
"coming?"
Just in front, in a dark corner, an unseen figure suddenly spoke.
"Tarino, how's it going?" Maca asked calmly.
"The task object is not easy to deal with this time," the man whispered. "So far, several targets have been lost-but to be sure, they are still cautious in their movements. There will be a while! "
"Very good, keep watching ..." Maca said, suddenly handing out the box she was carrying. "These things you take away are all useful things-keep an eye on the target's movements. And try not to miss any clues. "
The figure took the suitcase, opened it slightly, and closed it tightly again.
"Seriously, your potions are spoiling us ..." he said smoothly, "the old folks in charge of those key targets have said that with these supplies, tracking is easier than walking. "
"During the mission, these expenses will not ask you to ask for a copper nat, don't save it," Maca waved. "As long as the mission is done well, I can give you more."
"Just punch you, there are tasks next time, we will give you a discount!"
The two quickly finished talking and left each, as if nothing had happened here.
Time passed quickly, and it was already mid-January in a flash.
The classmates had to go to Hogsmeade Village, and Harry wanted to go too. He felt that maybe he would meet Hagrid there, so he would have the opportunity to persuade him to come back.
But Hermione did not agree, because the problems left by the first project of the top three tournament are still waiting for them! The box was very depressing, and Hermione had been studying it, but she didn't expect any good idea to open it.
"I'm going to take this opportunity to think about it. I think you should do the same!" She persuaded Harry seriously. "Remember? We have to complete the task!"
In fact, as to how to open the box, Dumbledore is not complicated. To open them, you just need to find the right place-the test is only the action of the warriors and the knowledge of ancient Runi.
The place to open those four boxes is different ~ EbookFREE.me ~ but all are within the school's range.
For example, Maca ’s snow-white ice box, he only needs to go to Hogwarts' ice cellar to easily find the Runic altar that opens the box.
This magical mechanism uses the combination and replacement characteristics of Niven-they are not independent, each can be replaced by other runes, and obtain another completely different effect.
But what altar did Maca have time to find?
He himself drew a few simple Runny maps and easily completed the rune replacement.
When the blue box in front of Maca suddenly burst into a blue flame, the box lid opened automatically ...
There is an irreplaceable clue in each box, and it will become the true goal of each warrior in the upcoming second project of the top three.
"Dumbledore isn't too bad ..." Marka murmured, looking at the contents of the box.
