Hogwarts Mysterious Man Resurrected

Chapter 47: The old story



"Actually, I don't know much about Tom."

Hagrid sat on the chair with a trance in his eyes.

"I remember I told you last night that he is a person who is friendly to his classmates and respects the professors."

"Yes." The three of them answered in unison.

"I also said that it was his disguise, but before that, I didn't know that it was his disguise."

"He is a good friend to me. Maybe this is just what I think. Maybe in his heart he is thinking about how to use me."

This has to be said to be a kind of tragedy. The person you think is a good friend is actually taking advantage of you all the time.

Unlike you who value feelings, he values ​​his own interests more.

Deep in Tom Riddle's heart, there has never been such a thing as friendship. If he has not had love, he has denied love.

He thought it was extremely ridiculous.

Harry and the other three have never experienced this feeling. They are people who attach great importance to emotions, and they can understand Hagrid's sadness to some extent.

"It's okay, Hagrid," Hermione reassured.

Hagrid nodded, indicating that he was fine, and continued.

"Back then, a secret room murder suddenly occurred in the school."

"It is said that Slytherin's Chamber of Secrets was opened, and some kind of monster inside killed the student."

"The whole Hogwarts was boiling because of this, and the legend left by Slytherin once again spread throughout Hogwarts."

"What's more, that student is a Muggle-born wizard. This is also in line with Slytherin's idea of ​​getting rid of wizards he thinks are not worthy of learning magic. At that time, people were panicking."

"Many Muggle-born wizards wanted to leave the school. Armando Dippet, the principal of Hogwarts at the time, resolutely prepared to close Hogwarts after many searches to no avail."

Having said this, Hagrid stopped and took out another piece of his meat and fed it to Yaya.

"Then what happened?" Harry was impatient. This unknown past was really too tempting for him.

Gryffindor students always like to challenge the unknown and live an adventurous life.

Harry, Hermione, and Ron are no exception.

At this time, they all looked at Hagrid very curiously, waiting for him to continue speaking.

Looking at the three pairs of expectant eyes, Hagrid sighed and continued.

"That's when Tom found me and told me that the school had discovered Aragog and was going to kill him."

"Wait a minute, Hagrid. Who is Aragog?" Harry interrupted Hagrid and asked curiously.

Hermione and Ron also looked at Hagrid curiously, obviously they were very interested in Aragog in Hagrid's mouth.

"That was a very good Acromantula. He was a good boy at the time." Hagrid said excitedly. Once he mentioned his pet, Hagrid seemed to be a different person. "It has eight eyes. Isn't it great, Harry, Ron, and Hermione."

Upon hearing what Hagrid said about the Acromantula, the three people present had different reactions.

Harry was excited because he found out that Hagrid's pet was an Acromantula and it had eight eyes. He had never seen such a magical creature before.

Unlike Harry's excitement, Ron's face was pale.

He kept mumbling, "I hate that thing, I hate spiders, and they have eight eyes. How scary it is."

Hermione opened her eyes wide and stared at Hagrid.

"Hagrid, the Acromantula, do you know what level it is rated by the Ministry of Magic?"

"If it really killed Myrtle, it wouldn't be surprising if you were expelled from school."

"Hermione." Harry frowned, quite unhappy.

Hagrid was a little panicked, "No, that's not the case. Aragog at that time was only as big as a bowl and couldn't kill anyone at all."

After Hagrid finished speaking, Hermione's face improved a lot.

"Then we can't keep such dangerous magical animals."

"Don't you think they are cute?" Hagrid said hesitantly.

Ron's eyes widened instantly.

The spider with eight eyes is so cute

Even Hermione opened her mouth, ready to say something.

Seeing this, Harry rushed to speak.

"Hagrid, you haven't told us what happened next."

"Ah, yes." Hagrid suddenly realized and remembered that he was telling the three little wizards in front of him about the incident.

"I never doubted Tom at that time, I had a lot of trust in him."

"So, when he told me that Aragog was in danger, I ran to where Aragog was hiding to find it without hesitation."

"But I didn't expect that Tom would tear off his mask at this time."

"I still remember that when I just arrived at the place where Aragog was hiding, Tom broke in and said that the Aragog I raised was the monster who killed Myrtle."

"I was shocked. I didn't expect him to do this." Hagrid paused again, breathing heavily.

It was obvious that he was angry. Even after so many years, he was still angry, angry that the person had betrayed his trust.

"Then what?" Harry continued to ask. Hermione had fallen silent. She had guessed the ending.

"At that time, I was about to refute him. However, Voldemort actually took out his wand, and he actually wanted to kill my Aragog."

Hagrid spoke very loudly, and it was obvious that he was very angry. His eyes were red and he seemed to be about to shed tears.

Several people present fell silent.

"So, Aragog died at the hands of Voldemort, and then Hagrid was framed by him, right?" Hermione was in a low mood, including Harry and Ron.

They were all in low spirits, because of Hagrid's pet.

It was obvious that Hagrid loved his pet.

Hagrid scratched his head and said a little embarrassedly.

"Hermione, you are right, but you are wrong about one thing."

"Aragog was not killed by that man. It escaped his spell and ran into the Forbidden Forest." When saying this, Hagrid smiled very happily.

Harry, Hermione and Ron glared at Hagrid.

Their feelings were in vain, as they thought that the Acromantula raised by Hagrid had died in Voldemort's hands at that time.

"Then he framed you later, right?"

"Yes, everyone believed in him and were willing to believe in him. So Principal Armando fired me."

Hagrid had a bitter smile on his lips.

"Only Dumbledore is willing to believe me. He is a good person and a good principal."

"I think so too," Harry said with a smile.

Hermione and Ron also laughed.

The joyful atmosphere dispersed Hagrid's somewhat sad mood.

When Harry and the three of them said goodbye to Hagrid and were about to leave.

As if he remembered something, Hagrid patted his head and said to the three Harrys.

"Yes, if I remember correctly."

"Tom was brought back to Hogwarts by Professor Dumbledore."

"Haha, maybe I remembered it wrong."

Although Hagrid's tone was disapproving, the three of them still remembered this incident deeply.
