Although it was only the first day of school, Allen still maintained his pace of life and went to the library after dinner to enrich himself.
The library was relatively deserted at the beginning of the school term. There were only a few people scattered in this huge library.
After politely greeting Mrs. Pins, Allen saw Hermione buried in a high pile of books at a glance.
From Allen's point of view, Hermione, with her disheveled hair, was like a furry cat, rubbing her head in the pile of books.
He couldn't help but smile and went straight to Hermione's side.
"Can I sit down?" Allen asked.
"Of course, please."
Hermione looked up and saw Allen, revealing a smile.
Allen looked at Hermione in surprise. Her eyes were red and swollen, apparently crying. Her eyes were bloodshot, her face was pale, and she looked haggard.
"Didn't you have a good rest during the holiday?" Allen couldn't help but lower his voice, "I remember that before the holiday, your homework had been completed!"
Allen's eyes slid over the high pile of books on the table.
"'Prohibition of Animal Breeding Experiments', 'Prohibited Trade Items', 'Wissengammo Charter of Power' …"
Allen flipped through these gray files one by one, and instantly understood why Hermione was busy.
"You want to help Hagrid win the case with the Dangerous Animal Disposal Committee?" Allen asked, but his tone was very certain.
Hermione's eyes revealed a light of admiration, "Allen is indeed worthy of his name, guessing the reason of the matter at once. Yes, I want to help Hagrid, so that he can successfully defend Buckbeak. "
Allen looked at Hermione, praising from the bottom of his heart. What a good girl! Intelligent, diligent, affectionate and righteous.
"What about Harry and Ron?" Allen didn't forget that the reason why Hermione refused to go on vacation with him was because she wanted to accompany Harry.
Hermione bit her lips and her eyes turned red.
She felt that Harry and Ron would never want to be friends with her again because of the crossbow. Now, the only one who could be considered a friend was Allen!
Her strength and defense turned into nothingness when she met Ellen's caring eyes.
"Ah, it's my fault. I shouldn't have mentioned them. Based on my understanding of Harry and Ron, these two guys obviously won't have the patience to read such a boring tome. "Allen patted the high stack of books.
"Hermione, you are the most diligent and patient little witch I have ever met," Allen praised.
"Allen, I'm just a little smart. Until now, I still haven't figured it out." Hermione wiped the corners of her eyes and said embarrassedly.
"Well, Hermione, I think, would you be willing to listen to my friend's thoughts?" Allen was a little hesitant, organizing his words.
It seemed that Hermione had been busy with Hagrid's matter during the holidays. Would what he was going to say next make her sad?
However, he couldn't bear to see Hermione working so hard, only to reap an unsatisfactory result in the end.
"Of course, Allen, I'm very willing to listen to your thoughts. You are the smartest, wisest, and most knowledgeable little wizard I have ever met. "
Hermione smiled mischievously, revealing two front teeth.
She seemed to realize it all of a sudden and hurriedly covered her mouth with both hands.
Allen felt that this kind of Hermione was especially cute. The hesitation just now flew out of the sky and he teased, "You wouldn't say that just because I'm the first in the grade, would you?"
"Of course not." Hermione always felt that chatting with Allen was so easy and pleasant. This feeling was completely different from when she was with Harry and Ron.
Harry and Ron always needed her supervision and help, but Allen was always helping her unconditionally.
"Actually, Hermione, I think it's very unwise for you to spend so much energy on these files." Allen said seriously.
Hermione raised her head and listened carefully. She restrained her desire to refute. She knew that Allen was not someone who spoke without thinking.
"First of all, you're not proficient in all kinds of laws and regulations. Second, even if you spend a lot of energy to understand these rules and regulations, you may not be able to write a moving defense …"
Allen looked at Hermione's expression and found that she was looking at him intently, without a trace of hurt.
Thus, Allen continued, "Third, even if your defense is written very exquisitely, can you ensure that Hagrid completely remembers these words and expresses them clearly when he's emotional?"
Obviously, Hagrid, who had the blood of giants, was weaker in controlling his emotions.
Hermione seriously thought about Allen's words. Although it was not pleasant to hear, the logic behind it was irrefutable.
"Hermione, I'm afraid you won't do any good by being so busy," Allen said.
"Then what can I do? I don't know how to help Hagrid. "Hermione was a little sad.
Allen comforted her gently. "Actually, you've already done very well. At least, you should be much better than Harry and Ron."
"But it's still useless, isn't it?" Hermione bit her lip.
Other than looking up information and writing a defense, she didn't know what else she could do to help Hagrid.
"Perhaps we can hire a defense lawyer for Hagrid," Allen suggested.
"That's a good idea!" Hermione's eyes lit up.
A full-time lawyer could not only help Hagrid complete the defense but also accompany Hagrid to face the Committee on Disposal of Dangerous Animals in court.
"However, this may require a lot of money. Hagrid … shouldn't have that much money," Hermione said worriedly.
"I think, as a friend, I'd like to sponsor Hagrid to get through this difficult time," Allen touched his nose and said generously.
"Oh, Allen, you're so nice. I also have some gold coins here. Although it's not much, but …
Hermione was a little ashamed. She knew that her little gold coins might not even be enough to hire a lawyer for a week.
"Of course, just do your best." Allen blinked and didn't refuse the little witch's kindness.
"However, you don't have to tell Harry and Ron. You know Ron's family background. Although Harry has money, that money still needs to support him until he graduates! "
Hermione nodded. She felt that Allen was very considerate.
The next day, classes resumed at school. On this cold and damp January morning, the last thing everyone wanted was to stay on the field for two hours.
They didn't expect Hagrid to make a bonfire full of fire lizards to make them happy.
