Chapter 537

He finally took the glass.

Xiang Xien took a tentative sip; this was a wonderful thing, as if it made every inch of his body warm up.

Outside, the wind and snow were filling the air, and suddenly a cool breeze ruffled Xiang Xien's hair.

The door of the Three Broomsticks opened, and Xiang Xien looked over from the rim of his cup and quickly buried his head.

"Run quickly."

He said.

His whole person disappeared.

Jia Siting didn't know why, but he quickly hid himself with a Disillusionment Charm, and then he saw Professor Marcus Maige and Professor Fuliwei walk into the pub with a gust of wind and snow, followed by Hagrid, whose expression was not very good.

Lupin drank the Butterbeer lightly, his eyes narrowed.

He hadn't seen such an interesting thing for a long time, two Hogwarts students who looked very law-abiding but were violating school rules...

"Filius, do you know about what happened recently?"

In front of the bar, Professor Marcus Maige asked.

A woman's voice rang out:

"A small glass of violet water—"

"Mine."

Professor Marcus Maige took the glass.

"Four pints of mead—"

The voice rang out again.

"Thanks, Rosmerta."

Hagrid said.

"A glass of soda with ice and umbrella cherry syrup—"

"Um!"

Professor Fuliwei said, smacking his lips,

"Recently, the little ones have been scared quite a bit by that rumor, you know, Penelo has come to ask me several times."

Because Hagrid was also here, Professor Fuliwei didn't explicitly state what it was.

"Is it true?"

Professor Marcus Maige seemed to be asking Professor Fuliwei, but her eyes had been locked on Hagrid.

Hagrid kept his head down and kept drinking mead, looking like he hadn't revealed anything unusual.

But Professor Marcus Maige and Professor Fuliwei both understood at the same time—this appearance today didn't look like Hagrid at all.

"I think I'm afraid it is."

Professor Fuliwei spoke as if they had a tacit understanding, and they saw Hagrid's body tremble.

"Things are troublesome."

Professor Marcus Maige said, and at this moment Hagrid relaxed again.

"Maybe the trouble has been solved?"

Professor Fuliwei said in a thin voice.

Hagrid became nervous again.

His reactions were too easy to guess; when talking about facts, he was nervous; when talking about fake news, he relaxed.

The most critical thing was that this was subconscious, and he himself didn't know about it at all.

"I'm going to, go to, go to buy some..."

Hagrid muttered stammeringly, and then walked away in a panic; no one heard what he was saying.

Xiang Xien watched quietly; Hagrid seemed to be very angry with himself, stepping into a puddle, not caring that his shoes were covered in mud spots.

He was someone with a rough exterior and a delicate mind. His wisdom stayed at the level of just being able to realize he had done something wrong—between rarely making mistakes and not realizing it at all.

As he walked, he arrived at the entrance of the Green Bookstore.

Jia Siting was distributing work in the innermost part, handing out Xiang Xien's signed books, while Xiang Xien was at the entrance, looking at the recruitment advertisement nearby, the Three Broomsticks pub in the distance, and Hagrid not far or near.

"Happy Halloween, I'm glad to see you here."

Xiang Xien said softly, his voice sounding as if it were mixed with rain and snow drifting into Hagrid's mind.

"Xiang Xien?!"

Hagrid looked at him blankly.

"Xiang Xien."

His face collapsed in an instant.

"I heard it, it doesn't matter."

Xiang Xien waved his wand, and the mud spots on Hagrid's feet disappeared.

Hagrid's lips moved; he always couldn't keep secrets and always caused trouble.

Last time, drinking and giving away the way to pass the three-headed dog almost caused Harry to lose his life, and this time he leaked the news of the basilisk completely.

"It doesn't matter."

Xiang Xien added.

This matter would be discovered sooner or later; after the report came out, it would be very difficult to hide the facts at Hogwarts.

Xiang Xien had also made plans.

The faint silvery-white sun was shining on the grounds, and Hogsmeade village was always covered in silver, with layers of white snow covering the pine branches, and Xiang Xien saw a figure walking towards here.

He said softly:

"Cheer up, Hagrid, you just helped me say some things in advance."
