Hogwarts, where the stars shine
Chapter 118, Time and Distance
The next morning, Mesa braved the cold wind and walked through the thick snow towards Hagrid's hut.Mesa wanted to check some details from last night with Hagrid.
Standing in front of the cabin, Mesa reached out and knocked on the door.There was no sound of Hagrid's heavy footsteps in the house, only the loud barking of the Neapolitan Mastiff's canines gave him a response.
After a while, Hagrid walked out of the dark forbidden forest.
From a distance, Hagrid saw the figure waiting in front of the wooden house, so he quickened his pace.A foot of snow was no obstacle to the tall and strong Hagrid.
"Why are you here at this time? What's the matter?" Hagrid said as he opened the door and warmly welcomed Mesa into the room.
The cabin blocked the cold wind, the flames in the fireplace exuded warmth, and the teeth that rushed to Mesa's side were like small stoves.
Hagrid took two cups from the cupboard, then picked up the copper kettle placed on the flame and filled two large cups of hot water.Hagrid said gruffly: "Drink a cup of hot water to keep the cold away."
It was impossible to drink boiled water. If he drank it while it was hot, Mesa would have reported to the school hospital.
Mesa held the teacup as big as a small bucket in his hands like a hot water bottle.He asked "Hagrid, where were you and what were you doing when you heard Adjani's scream last night? This is important."
Last night, Mesa's reason for going to the greenhouse was to steal the poisonous tentacle leaves, but why was Hagrid nearby?
He did not go to the auditorium to eat at dinner time, nor did he stay in his cabin. Instead, he happened to be wandering near the scene of the crime.Mesa believes that there may be problems with Hager's course of action.
Standing at the door of the wooden house, Hagrid shook off the snowflakes on his coat and replied: "Professor Dumbledore asked me the same question last night. He asked me to keep it a secret. But it shouldn't matter if I tell you."
Mesa was the first person to find the crime scene, and Hagrid felt that telling him these things could not be considered a leak.
"Last night, I went to take care of a little guy in the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid continued, "I really liked that little guy so much that I accidentally missed dinner time."
What was the little guy Hagrid was talking about? Mesa didn't want to ask, and didn't dare to ask.From several past chats, Mesa discovered that the magical creatures Hagrid loved were basically species prohibited from being raised by the Ministry of Magic.
"Little guys" are just a reference to Hagrid. To ordinary wizards, these "little guys" are generally very dangerous.Even if Hagrid raised a five-legged monster on a whim one day, Mesa wouldn't be surprised.
After hanging up his heavy moleskin coat, Hagrid brought over a plate of his homemade rock cakes. The chair next to the table made a crunching sound as it took on the weight it shouldn't bear.
Hagrid said enthusiastically: "You must have missed breakfast if you rushed here so early, right? Come on, have a try!"
The enthusiasm is so overwhelming that everyone in Mesa should eat some out of politeness.But for the sake of his dental health, Mesa could only bite the bullet and pretend that he heard nothing and saw nothing.
Rock biscuits are small sweet biscuits with a rough surface and irregular shape.Eating the rock biscuits made by Hagrid is like chewing stones directly. It is hard enough to knock out one's teeth.
While Hagrid was eating rock cake, he continued: "After I came back, Fang kept barking at the door, as if the hut was surrounded by wild beasts. So I decided to go out and take a look."
Neapolitan Mastiffs are tall and strong in appearance. Their sharp teeth, claws and developed muscles are intimidating.This dog is ideally suited to be bred as a guard dog or a fighting dog.
But the Neapolitan Mastiff raised by Hagrid is an exception. Yaya may not be as courageous as the mice in the fields.The slightest disturbance can scare Yaya to the point of peeing.
"I walked around the door twice and didn't see anything. Just when I was about to go back to the house, I heard a scream." Hagrid said, "Don't be polite to me, try it quickly. I think it's delicious." !”
"No. My teeth are bad and I can't bite too hard food." Mesa once again refused the invitation to taste the rock cake. Unless he planned to hold a funeral for his teeth, he would never eat it.
No matter how handsome a man is, he will look ugly without teeth.Although Mesa is not ugly, she does not want to turn herself into an ugly person.Mesa couldn't do this kind of thing that ruined his appearance.
Hagrid muttered vaguely: "My teeth are not good at a young age. What will I do in the future? It's a pity that you can't eat such crispy rock biscuits."
Maybe, maybe, Hagrid had a misunderstanding between rock-hard and crispy.
Mesa took a sip of boiled water from the small bucket cup. One doubt was solved, but more mysteries followed.
It's a long way from Hagrid's hut to the greenhouse. Can Adjani's cry spread that far?Even if the openness and quietness of the venue expanded the effective distance of sound propagation and allowed Hagrid to clearly hear Adjani's scream, then how did he rush over so quickly?
You should know that the crime scene was very close to the greenhouse. After Mesa climbed over the stone wall and walked a few steps, he saw Adjani in the snow.
After finding Adjani, another minute or two passed, and Hagrid's figure clearly appeared in Mesa's field of vision.It was such a long journey. Did Hagrid fly here?
Hagrid couldn't fly, Mesa was sure of that.
Generally speaking, wizards who want to fly can only use flying vehicles such as broomsticks.
"After Professor Dumbledore asked me last night, his expression was similar to yours now." Hagrid said, "It's really strange to think about it now. I actually ran from my house to the house in a short time." Over there in the greenhouse.”
Impossible, absolutely impossible!Let Hagrid run a few more times, and he won't be that fast!
After hearing screams near the wooden house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid ran all the way to the crime scene next to the greenhouse - this timeline, even if Mesa tried his best, he couldn't match it.
If Hagrid is so talented, he would not go to the Olympics to make a name for himself, but stay here and work as a small gamekeeper, that would be really unfair.
Hey, it seems like last year was the Olympics.If Hagrid had participated in the 1988 Olympics, he would have punched a little Siba.
Amidst Hagrid's chewing sounds, Mesa held his chin with both hands, as if Commander Ikari was possessed.Mesa was looking for holes last night, holes in time and distance.
Mesa thought of a possibility, the confusion spell.This is a spell that is extremely difficult to cast. It can confuse the senses of the caster, and it can also make the caster obey the orders of the spell caster and act according to the spell caster's plan.
Confusing Hagrid through a confusion spell, blurring his perception of time and distance, and making him think he heard a scream.
In this way, the perpetrator can ask Hagrid to rush to the greenhouse as planned, guide him to find Adjani lying in the snow, and Hagrid can sound the alarm for the second attack.
It was just that Mesa went to the greenhouse alone during dinner time on a whim, and accidentally became the first person to discover Adjani.
Mesa's intrusion last night may have disrupted the perpetrator's original plan, or it may have perfected the perpetrator's plan in disguise, confusing Principal Dumbledore's sight.
Looking at Hagrid who was like a mountain of meat in front of him, Mesa suddenly thought of another question, which was enough to overturn his guess.Does the Confusion Charm really work on Hagrid?
Mesa has always doubted Hagrid's origins and speculated whether he had part of giant blood.
Even by Western height standards, Hagrid's height is simply too exaggerated, and his strength is equally astonishing.If Hager can land in North America, he will definitely be the number one center in the league's history, an insurmountable British mountain.
When Hagrid wiped out a plate of rock biscuits, Mesa, whose stomach was growling with hunger, said goodbye.Mesa had gotten the answer he wanted, but it was unsatisfactory.
Compared with the simple and clear first attack, last night's attack was much more complicated, making it difficult to distinguish between true and false.
Mesa walked out of the cabin, but because he was hungry, he did not return to the castle immediately, but walked towards the greenhouse.He wanted to go back to the scene to look for the clues he missed last night.
The closer he got to the greenhouse, the more Mesa became convinced of one thing: the scream he heard happened after the attack.
Standing in front of the cabin, Mesa reached out and knocked on the door.There was no sound of Hagrid's heavy footsteps in the house, only the loud barking of the Neapolitan Mastiff's canines gave him a response.
