Recently, Fox has become increasingly unable to control the magic power in his body. He may be nirvana at any time, and he can no longer travel through space with him.
If the anti-Apparition barrier of Hogwarts is temporarily opened, there will be hidden dangers when he leaves, so the old wizard has no choice but to walk towards the door step by step.
"Relax, Ani. Have faith that things will always turn out for the better. And don't tell anyone you saw me today, especially Minerva. I said goodbye to her in the morning. She must think I'm here now."
Ministry of Magic."
The corners of Aini's mouth twitched, and after the O.W.L.s and W.E.N.T.s, the current status of the Defense Against the Dark Arts class this school year inevitably spread.
Unlike what the little wizards say, the information from the examiners is authoritative enough for parents.
The school received a lot of letters from parents this morning. Bad old man, are you sure you left just to fish out Voldemort, and not just because you could hide and relax openly?
Complaints are complaints, what should be done should be done well.
Accompanying Dumbledore out of the castle, Ani followed the trio towards Hagrid's hut.
Perhaps Dumbledore doesn't know yet, but Hagrid rarely stays in the hut now.
"Dong dong dong."
After knocking on the door, Harry didn't hear Hagrid's response. He peeked through the crack of the door and saw that the room was in a mess. He didn't see Hagrid, nor Norberta nor Fang.
"It seems a little unlucky, don't worry, Harry. Maybe things are not what you think." Hermione comforted her friend, but in fact she also believed Harry's speculation, and it was probably like that. p>
"Whether it is or not, I have to ask Hagrid to find out, but where will he go?" Harry looked around irritably, and he had a bad feeling.
"Who knows? I heard that Hagrid is a frequent visitor to the Pig's Head Bar. Maybe he goes to walk his dog or dragon?" Ron shrugged and said indifferently.
Coming from a family of magicians, no matter how rough it is, he knows that things related to the Sorcerer's Stone are not in the same class as him, and he has never been keen on it.
Maybe I was a little excited when I first learned that the magic stone was stored under the trap door, but the excitement soon subsided.
This thing is like Snow White in the fairy tale. Even if it really comes from the legend into reality, there will be at least a dozen princes waiting next to it.
Just when the three of them were at a loss and didn't know how to continue, Hermione saw Anish walking towards her stone building.
"Ani, wait a minute." The little witch shouted loudly and ran over. In her heart, as long as Ani appeared, all problems would be solved.
After being successfully "discovered", Ani turned around and walked towards Hermione.
"Are you looking for Hagrid?" Ani asked knowingly. It was really inappropriate to design cute students, but why was he still a little excited?
"Harry is a bit..." Hermione started subconsciously, suddenly thinking that it was not polite to doubt a friend. Hagrid usually took good care of them, so they shouldn't doubt him.
But this matter is indeed very suspicious, and Aini has a very good relationship with Hagrid, and she is not sure whether to tell the truth to him.
"It's okay, Hermione. I think we can trust Ani." Harry and Ron also came over. Harry was particularly grateful to Ani.
"No, it's not that I can't trust you." The little witch explained eagerly and glanced at Harry dissatisfied. If you can't speak, you can keep your mouth shut!
"We are just a little suspicious of Hagrid, and we are worried that you will be unhappy if you find out. I have always trusted you."
"It's okay, Hermione, I know what you mean." Looking at the little witch's little red face eager to explain, Ani smiled gently and rubbed the messy little head in front of her eyes.
The girl's face turned even redder, and the sudden intimate movement made her lower her head shyly.
Seeing this, Aini half-opened his mouth in embarrassment. He wanted to explain something but didn't know what to say. He swore that it was just a habitual action. He always used to rub those furry little cuties...
Well, Hermione's head is indeed furry and cute, but that's not the point. The point is...
As if they had a tacit understanding, the two of them subconsciously looked at Harry and Ron behind them. The two 12-year-old boys obviously didn't notice the strange atmosphere just now, and followed them with normal expressions.
"Huh." That's okay, the topic remains the same.
"Ani, to be precise, we don't doubt Hagrid. I just think that the person who sent Hagrid's eggs has ulterior motives. This year, Hogwarts has something amazing, and some people can't resist its temptation." p>
Harry looked at Aini and said seriously, and the little savior's heroic heart began to burn.
"So we have to check with Hagrid. Can you lead us to find him?"
"Harry, do you know the value of the Philosopher's Stone?" Aini's face turned serious. When he first came to Hogwarts, he still had a game mentality, but as time went by, it only existed on paper.
The character gradually became fuller in his heart.
Aini can no longer look forward to the "adventure" of the trio with a playful attitude. Someone may lose their life, they will be injured, bleed, and suffer endlessly.
Even if everything goes well, you will still be burdened with a burden that you should not bear at this age.
Let alone first-year wizards, even when they graduate from Hogwarts they are still young people of eighteen or nineteen.
What are those Muggle peers who are eighteen or nineteen years old doing?
It is undeniable that there are places where children are thrown into battle, but this is not the magical world that Ani has in mind, and he does not want this.
He didn't want people who could still be called children to be exposed to a tragic battlefield where life and death could be determined in an instant right in front of his eyes.
He felt that he had never been as eager for power as he was now. Maybe power could not change everything, but it was the cornerstone of maintaining stability and re-establishing order.
Whether he lived in a nostalgic peaceful country before or under the protection of Newt in this life, Ani has always lived a secure life, which makes him actually not have too urgent need for power.
The study of magic comes more from hobbies, the love of new things, and the exploration of mysterious abilities.
From now on, he plans to change himself slightly, at least without touching black magic, and add some means of defeating the enemy. The previous methods of dealing with him are still too gentle.
Although he has made up his mind, these are things for the future, and now Aini still wants to give it a final try.
He will not forcefully interfere with the wishes of the trio. After all, everyone is an independent individual and has the right to choose. Aini just does not want them to bear the price of their choice prematurely.
So he looked at Harry seriously, then his eyes covered Hermione and Ron, and asked the question again.
"Can you really clearly understand the value of the Philosopher's Stone? Then do you know what kind of power is needed to truly protect it?"
