a certain scientific harry potter

Together, the two wandered around the campus without being disturbed, while relaxing and saying things that they didn't want outsiders to hear...

This could not be simpler pastime, but the two people whose movements were restricted before had not enjoyed it for a long time.

And it was said to be a distraction, but in fact they were talking about topics related to the incident.

"Luna secretly told me that the mandrakes have become taciturn and moody. Cedric thinks this is a sign that they are about to mature, and has already started arranging the final repotting."

Since Harry has to go to the principal's office to make medicine from time to time, Hermione has been watching the Room of Requirement recently. She is like a conscientious secretary, faithfully recording the feedback from everyone in her camp.

Hermione is very happy that Harry can find help from normal humans in Hogwarts except for ghosts and Peeves, but she still has reservations about a certain member.

That crazy girl who is always talking in a daze, Harry actually gave her the password of the suitcase. Isn't this a bit too important? !

Chapter 160 Four I Heard That Only Friendship Can Be Generous

Harry didn't notice Hermione's slightly apprehensive expression, he was just relieved by the news of the Mandrake.

"This is definitely good news. With these mandrakes, we don't have to worry about the victim's recovery."

Luna and Neville really provided their assistance very well, this way, Harry has more confidence in dealing with the enemy.

Now all that needs to be waited for is Veritaserum. As long as he has that sharp weapon to extort a confession, Harry can break through from Gilderoy Lockhart and officially launch a full-scale counterattack!

"Hagrid's hut... can't we really go there?"

The two walked all the way near Hagrid's hut, Hermione's expression was tangled, as if she really wanted to go in and have a look.

"Not now, there will be people watching behind us, and it will cause trouble." Harry shook his head vigilantly, and turned Hermione in one direction, "Let's go to the Black Lake, it would be nice to sit on the shore~"

Although many pure-blood families have withdrawn, the annoying dog-skin plaster still exists. During the holiday, they may relax the surveillance of Hahe and Hahe when they are together, but if Hagrid is involved will get much more complicated.

Hagrid is now the subject of martial law at Hogwarts. While being ordered not to approach the castle, it is strictly forbidden for anyone to contact him.

The fact that he had opened the secret room 50 years ago was somehow spread, causing many people in the school to discuss it.

Therefore, on the day of the Christmas holiday, a few pure-blood parents headed by Lucius advocated the so-called safety principle, and directly expelled Hagrid, who had just put up the Christmas tree, out of the Hogwarts auditorium.

They even used magic to shrink the gate of the castle so that only normal adults could pass through, and a half-breed giant with a height of [-] meters couldn't get in anyway.

Of course, Hagrid could also choose to break in violently, but that would only play into his hands.

Harry knew that this must have been Lockhart's fault.

In today's Hogwarts, which is full of surveillance forces, Lockhart, who has the status of a teacher, even if countless people think that this guy is an idiot, he is still more convenient than a student like Harry.

And the reason why he would deal with Hagrid was clearly because he wanted to reduce Harry's support!

It's just that a little intolerance can lead to big plans, and now there is still some time left before the completion of Veritaserum, Harry must bear it no matter what!

This account, when everything comes to light, he will naturally settle it with Lockhart and those pure-blood families bit by bit!

Besides, although Hagrid couldn't enter the castle, it didn't mean that he couldn't help himself at all. At least he could move freely, and he could find time to buy some other things.

Like a new cock, for example.

Now that he knew that a basilisk was entrenched in the chamber of secrets, Harry naturally had to make preparations earlier.

The natural enemy of the Basilisk is a rooster. Although it may not be reliable, it is better to believe that there is no harm.

"Here, sit down a bit, this is this year's Christmas gift~"

As the two sat side by side on the shore of the Black Lake, Harry asked Hermione to come closer to him and put a delicate scrunchie in her hair.

"Thank you!" Hermione smiled happily as she felt her lion fur was gathered up all of a sudden.

She flicked her hair left and right, then tilted her head to look at Harry, and asked with a playful smile, "How is it, does it look good?"

"Nice~"

Harry nodded earnestly. After several years of unremitting care, Hermione's hair finally gradually became normal. Now, except for her protruding front teeth, her whole person's image is infinitely close to that of "Sorcerer's Stone" "The appearance of the movie characters has no dead ends in Harry's eyes.

"You... you answered too quickly, right?" Although she was praised by Harry, Hermione seemed dissatisfied. ?”

"Well..." Harry hesitated for a moment. He really needed to think about this question.

"Hmph~" Hermione wrinkled her nose slightly and let out a pleasant hum when she saw this.

It should be said that Harry's current appearance was the reaction she was eagerly looking forward to in her heart.

Xu Shi recently had too much contact with the female students of the Eagle Academy, and the schoolmaster girl has also been exposed to some strange things, such as "Only friendship can be generous, so in fact, it should be cautious" It is said that she recently got gossip from Qiu Zhang.

Although she didn't know who Qiu Zhang was referring to when she said this, she somehow found that she seemed to want to use this reaction to test someone.

So when the guy in front of him responded without thinking, Hermione really wanted to grab his ear and complain.

Please, can you think about it again, and answer a little more cautiously, okay?

It was also because Harry's answer was too straightforward before that Hermione had to give him another chance.

Hey~

The school bully girl sighed deeply in her heart, feeling that her heart was broken.

However, this time it should be...

"The good thing about you is that you have natural facial features and a good face shape. After you have a hair band to suppress the overly eye-catching hair, your original advantages of three-dimensional and exquisite facial features will be completely highlighted. Naturally, it is more beautiful than before. pretty~”

"Hehe, I really appreciate your compliment..."

It should be a pleasure to be praised for being beautiful, but seeing Harry's upper body like a beauty blogger, Hermione couldn't help but want to bite him hard.

So it's actually my fault, not worthy of your carefulness, is it?

"Hey, I've been interrogated by you, so it's my turn now?" Not aware of Hermione's emotion, Harry asked back with a little complacency, "Where's my Christmas present?"

In order to answer the "send proposition" just now, Harry said that he didn't know how many brain cells he had sacrificed to come up with the most professional answer. It would be a bit unfair if Hermione didn't have a Christmas gift to compensate. kind.

"Ah... a gift or something, I..."

Caught off guard by Harry's counter-question, Hermione faltered for a long time, and finally didn't make it clear what she had done with Harry's gift.

In fact, she had been struggling with Harry's Christmas gift before, but she didn't have time to prepare it in the end.

Unlike the wish she made last year, Hermione didn't know what to give Harry at all this year. She always felt that any gift was wrong, and she was also afraid that he would not like it...

"No, I just asked casually, why are you so nervous?" Harry shrugged amusedly, grabbed Hermione's tangled little hand in front of him and covered it in his palm, "Say it openly if you're not ready, I'm I won't mind~"

Feeling the coolness in his palm, Harry rubbed his hand back and forth a few times, and then clasped it tighter.

The girl who forgot to put on her gloves didn't even notice that her fingers were turning red from the cold. Harry really didn't know what she was struggling with.

"Big and generous..."

Hearing Harry's words, Hermione froze for a moment.

What Harry said was right, he was indeed not as generous as usual just now.

and so…

She is the one who is careful?

"Harry, I've actually prepared some presents..." After thinking for a long time, Hermione pursed her lips and said softly, "It's just that there are too many things in school right now, so... I'll replenish you after everything has settled. ?”

"Okay, then I'll keep looking forward to it." Harry chuckled and nodded, but his tone was slightly more solemn, "It just so happens that a certain day after this is also very important to me, I definitely don't Let it be affected by the incident at school!"

"The days after...?" Hermione looked up at Harry suspiciously, but seemed to feel that there were some other meanings in the other's eyes.

In an instant, she hastily lowered her head, inexplicably daring not to look at it again...

Chapter 160 Five Roosters Are Raised by People

In mid-January after the end of the winter vacation, Harry braved the wind and snow and quietly came to Hagrid's cabin under the cover of the Invisibility Cloak.

giggle!

As soon as he entered the door, Harry smelled an indescribable stench, followed by a series of high-pitched and loud screams, mixed with the sound of flapping wings and friction of paws.

Hagrid's huge body kept busy in the room. In front of him was a square chicken coop in the shape of nine palaces. Inside were five roosters with bright feathers. Excited.

"Hey, Harry, you're finally here." Seeing Harry coming, Hagrid hastily gathered up the chicken feathers and excrement all over the floor, and complained loudly to Harry, "If you don't take them away, I'll People really can't live here."

"Didn't I come here~" Harry smiled and comforted, "These roosters are really good, they look very energetic~"

The rooster that Hagrid had chosen was quite outstanding, and the ear-piercing cry just now, let alone whether it would be useful to the basilisk, at least ordinary snakes, rats, rats and ants had to be scared away.

"Of course, after all, I selected them carefully!" Hagrid nodded triumphantly, "I specially asked someone to find the best-looking and most aggressive roosters. The ones raised in the house are different, as long as there is a disturbance, they will keep barking, and there is no need to wait until morning~”

"here you go!"

Harry couldn't help but praise Hagrid for being reassuring when dealing with things related to animals.

The reason why ordinary domestic roosters crow is mainly due to long-term habits and the influence of light stimulation. Basically, their crowing time is between [-]:[-] and [-]:[-] in the morning.

But how could Harry be sure that he would deal with the basilisk at that time? In order to solve his worries in this regard, Hagrid specially selected such a group of 'fighting' roosters with fierce tempers like fighting cocks.

"It's also because they are too fierce. If they are placed in two adjacent cages, they will definitely fight non-stop. Otherwise, I will definitely fill up this chicken coop." Hagrid said naively.

"It's enough to have these." Harry said gratefully, "Hagrid, you have really worked hard recently."

Hagrid definitely suffered a lot these days raising these five chickens.

In order not to let the enemy notice, he couldn't keep the chickens in the school's chicken coop; and in order to prevent the crowing of the rooster from being heard, he not only couldn't open the windows and doors to ventilate, he even had to cover the chickens with thick quilts. All the gaps in the doors and windows are completely blocked.

With five aggressive birds in the house making noise, eating and pulling, one can imagine how bad the environment in the hut must have been for the past twenty days.

"You can relax a bit after this." Harry put the nine-square chicken coop into the suitcase he specially brought, and then cast a cleaning spell on the whole room, which made the situation in the room better.

But after that, Hagrid might have to ventilate for a long time.

"Okay, I'm going to go back too."

After putting away the suitcase, Harry put the Invisibility Cloak back on.

"Harry..." Before leaving, Hagrid seemed hesitant to speak behind him, "I'm very..."

"Forget it, I was also at fault for that matter." Harry softly interrupted Hagrid's apology, "Hagrid...some things, such as conquering the spider clan, are something I must do. I know you may understand If you have complaints, you don’t need to wrong yourself to apologize to me, I just hope you can be more considerate, and it won’t affect our friendship.”

Hagrid is a simple, warm-hearted person, and there are darker things that he is bound to fail to understand.

For example, how Harry used Scamander's momentum to reach an agreement with Lao Deng, and then gained control of two important strategic locations, the Black Lake and the Forbidden Forest.

And why he must subdue the giant arachnid family, and after that, encourage the spider group to attack the centaur tribe, and sit and watch the chaos in the forbidden forest.

Harry doesn't need Hagrid to understand this, he just needs Hagrid to know that when Harry embarks on the road of confrontation with Voldemort, the friendship between their year-end friends will not deteriorate.

Harry left, and he had to go to the Room of Requirement next to put the suitcase back.

Originally, he also thought about putting the suitcase directly in the principal's office, but it happened that the mandrakes were about to be repotted recently, and Luna and the others might not be able to enter the principal's office even if they had the password. , the goal is too big.

So Harry felt that it would be better to keep the box in the Room of Requirement. When he finished the Veritaserum, he only needed to go and get it, and he could act immediately.

"Hmm...why is there no sound all of a sudden?"

Not long after Harry left, another figure also quietly came to Hagrid's hut, but he carefully leaned against the wall and listened for a long time, but he couldn't hear the chicken crowing that he had accidentally discovered before.

"There are footprints on the ground, so it wasn't long before he was taken away... But how did he get out?"

Looking at the string of footprints on the ground that hadn't been buried by the wind and snow, the mysterious figure couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

"Harry Potter, is there still something unknown hidden?"

...

In the Room of Requirement at Hogwarts, Harry leisurely put down his suitcase and left, completely unaware of the kind of trouble he had caused Luna and the others.

Considering that it is more convenient to take it from the box, Harry did not place the chicken coop too far from the exit of the box, which made Luna and the three of them directly caught by the screaming roosters when they came to take care of the mandrake. Startled.

In the end, it was a good scare, and Neville, who was the last one, slipped and fell off the ladder. By coincidence, he knocked open a row of cage doors, and released two big cocks that were having fun all over the floor.

All of a sudden, chicken feathers flew around the entrance of the suitcase.

"All petrified!" Fortunately, one of them, Cedric, a senior student in the fourth grade, managed to catch the two runaway roosters with a full-body binding spell.

"It's... so scary! These chickens... when did they appear?"

After the dust finally settled, Neville got up and began to clean up the chicken feathers and feces on his body, with a lingering fear still on his face.

"Harry probably just put it here, maybe he hasn't had time to tell us." Cedric guessed, but frowned at the same time, "It's just... if we want to take care of them by the way, then we have to wait a little longer Just work harder before."

Cedric, who was born in the Badger Yard, is well aware of the difference between raising chickens and raising magical animals. In addition to feeding them more frequently, they have to be released from the cage regularly.
