Ron seemed to want to go back and ask Angelina for help, but no one else had any intention of moving.
"If you ask Angelina for help, Fred and George will know about this method. Everyone in school will know before noon." Hermione said, "By then, Dumbledore will also know that Elwyn told him about this method. We'll be in big trouble."
"But..."
"I think Hermione is right, Ron!" Harry sighed and said, "Although it sounds really depressing, we should abide by the rules and not throw our names into the Goblet of Fire."
"But..."
"In my opinion, it's best not to think about this anymore. The Triwizard Tournament is more dangerous than we can imagine," said Elwyn, "We'd better be at ease as spectators, or help the warriors."
He glanced at Harry, thinking about how to help him get through the three difficulties.
"If Angelina becomes a warrior, I'll help her."
"Yes, I will too!"
"Okay, then what are we doing today?" said Ron angrily, as if he had finally given up on the idea of throwing his name into the Goblet of Fire.
"Go to Hagrid's place. We haven't visited him this week," said Harry.
"All five of us will go and stay there before the banquet begins. This way, we can ensure that no one throws their name into the Goblet of Fire." Hermione said happily, "And, I just remembered that I haven't asked Hagrid to join the S Corin yet. Elwyn told them about the way he saw Hagrid this morning.
Hearing Elwyn's description, Harry was extremely surprised and wanted to go and take a look immediately.
"Vomiting and fried snails, this is really bad." Ron sighed and reluctantly followed everyone outside. "Okay, let's go to Hagrid's place. I hope he doesn't ask us to donate a few fingers to the fried snails."
They walked out of the castle and arrived in front of Hagrid's small wooden house.
The students of Boosbottom seemed to have finished their breakfast and were getting off the carriages one after another.
Elwyn saw Gabriel smiling at him, while Hibiscus Chinensis and the other girls pretended not to see them.
Thinking about what Gabrielle had said to him this morning, it was hard to imagine that they had talked about him for a long time last night.
From their current behavior, Elwyn thought that they were indifferent to them!
Ron was still staring at the back of Hibiscus Chinensis until she and Mrs. Maxim walked into the castle.
A few minutes later, they arrived at Hagrid's cabin. Harry knocked on the door, and Fang's low barking immediately came from inside.
"He's finally here!" Hagrid opened the door. "I thought you kids had forgotten where I live!"
"We're too busy!" Hermione said.
She looked up at Hagrid in surprise. Although she was prepared, she was still shocked by his appearance.
Harry, Ron, and Corin kept staring at Hagrid's strange hairstyle, as if they were frightened. This was really terrible.
But they didn't say anything to avoid hurting Hagrid's self-esteem.
They walked in. Hagrid's cabin only had one room.
A huge bed was placed in one corner, covered with a quilt made of rags.
In front of the fire, there was the same huge wooden table and chairs. A lot of pickled hams and dead birds hung from the ceiling above the fire.
Hagrid began to make tea. They sat down at the table and soon began to talk about the Top Three Hegemony Competition.
Hagrid seemed to be as excited about it as they were. He was happy beyond imagination.
"Just you wait," he said with a grin. "You'll see things you've never seen before. The first event … Ah, I shouldn't have said it."
"Go on, Hagrid!" Harry, Ron, Hermione, and Corin urged.
But Hagrid shook his head and grinned.
Elwyn drank his tea. He didn't know if it was the fire dragon or Mrs. Maxim that made Hagrid so happy.
Or maybe it was both.
"I don't want to ruin your mood," Hagrid said. "But it's going to be wonderful. Let me tell you. Those warriors have things to do. I didn't expect to see the Top Three Hegemony Competition resume in my life! "
They finally had lunch with Hagrid, but they didn't eat much.
Hagrid made them a pot of something. According to him, it was a steak chowder.
As a result, Hermione dug out a big claw from her portion. After that, the five of them lost their appetite.
But they still had a good time.
Harry, Ron, and Corin tried to coax Hagrid into telling them the events of the competition and speculating which contestants were likely to be chosen as warriors.
Looking at Ron, it seemed that he had forgotten to put his name in the Goblet of Fire.
Around three or four o 'clock in the afternoon, it began to drizzle. Everyone felt very comfortable.
They sat by the warm fire, listening to the rain gently beating on the glass window. They watched Hagrid darn his socks while debating with Hermione about house-elves. When Hermione showed him the badge, he flatly refused to join the S.P.E.W.
"It's not a good thing for them, Hermione!" He said sternly, threading a thick yellow yarn through a thick bone needle. "It's their nature to take care of humans. They like it. Do you understand? They'd feel sad if they weren't allowed to work, and paying them would be an insult to them. "
"But Harry and Elwyn freed Dobby. Dobby was so happy!" Hermione said. "And Elwyn paid him."
"Yes, yes. There are some freaks in every creature. I don't deny that there are a few eccentric elves who want to be free, but you can never persuade most elves to fight for freedom. Really, it's impossible, Hermione. "
Hearing his words, Hermione looked very annoyed. She stuffed the box with the badge into the pocket of her cloak.
When it was half past five, the sky was getting dark.
Elwyn, Harry, Ron, Corin, and Hermione felt that they should return to the castle to attend the Halloween party. More importantly, they should attend the announcement ceremony of the school's warrior.
"I'll go with you," said Hagrid, putting aside his knitting. "Wait a minute."
He stood up, walked to the chest of drawers beside the bed, and began to look for something inside.
No one paid much attention at first until a particularly unpleasant smell entered their nostrils.
Everyone could not help coughing and looked curiously at Hagrid.
"Hagrid, what's that?" Harry could not help but ask.
"Huh?!" Hagrid turned around, holding a large bottle in his hand. "Don't you like it?"
"Is it the moisturizer you put on after shaving?" Hermione asked in a voice that was almost suffocating.
"Yes, it's cologne!" Hagrid muttered. Suddenly, he realized something, and his face turned red. He said in a hoarse voice, "I probably spilled too much. I'll go wash it off. Wait a minute."
He walked out of the cottage with heavy steps, and they saw him washing his face in a bucket outside the window.
"Cologne?!" Hermione asked in surprise. "Hagrid?!"
"What's wrong with him?!"
"And that hair and suit!"
