"Hagrid?!"
"He's right, you're all right. I'm too stupid. I'm like this, my father must be ashamed of me." Hagrid's tears flowed again, and he wiped them away forcefully. "Oh, I haven't shown you a picture of my old father, have I? Here it is! "
Hagrid stood up, walked to the wardrobe, pulled open a drawer, and took out a picture. There was a short wizard in the picture, his eyes were the same as Hagrid's, also dark and squinted. He was sitting on Hagrid's shoulder, laughing happily.
Looking at the apple tree next to him, Hagrid was about seven or eight feet tall.
But his face was young, full, smooth, and beardless. He looked at most eleven years old.
Seeing this picture, Elwyn was even more suspicious about how Hagrid's mother got pregnant with him.
Hagrid's father was very short, compared to a giant, the difference was too big, even bigger than Elwyn had imagined!
"This was taken not long after I entered Hogwarts!" Hagrid said hoarsely. "My father was so happy, he thought I would never become a wizard, you know, because of my mother, ah, let's not talk about it! Of course, I've never been enlightened in magic, but at least he didn't see me expelled. He died, of illness, when I was in my second year, and I was expelled from school not long after. "
"After my father died, it was Dumbledore who protected me. He found me a job as a gamekeeper, he was very trusting, always giving people a second chance. He always gives people a second chance. That's what sets him apart from the other principals, understand? " Hagrid continued, "As long as someone has talent, Dumbledore will accept them into Hogwarts. He knows that even if a person is born into a bad family, they will still have a bright future. Alas, this is a very respectable way of doing things. But some people don't understand this, and always discriminate against you because of your family background. "
Hagrid was right. The theory of bloodlines had always been very popular in the world of magic.
Pure-blood wizards were born to be noble. They occupied the mainstream of magic society and looked down on mixed-blood wizards and Muggle wizards.
Muggle wizards hated this, but in turn, they discriminated against werewolves, half-blood giants, apprentice wizards, and other non-human magical creatures.
Strict laws were enacted to restrict their development and facilitate their exploitation.
It was like a hierarchical pyramid, one layer on top of the other.
Bloodline and birth created an insurmountable natural gap between different sorcerers and magical species.
In a sense, apart from a few pure-blooded Sorcerers, most Sorcerers were victims.
However, they were also the perpetrators who continued to discriminate against wizards and magical creatures who were of lower bloodline and birth than them.
In the past, this concept had completely protected the inheritance of magic, protecting the wizards from the Muggle's persecution.
But now, this kind of decadent and backward concept had already restricted the rapid development of the magic world, and should be stopped and abandoned.
"They're always like that. Some cowards even pretend to be skeletons instead of daring to tell the truth. I'm me, there's nothing to be ashamed of. " Hagrid wiped the last drop of tears from his face. "'Never be ashamed,' my father used to say. 'Some people will discriminate against you because of this, but they're not worth your trouble.' He was right. I'm so stupid. I won't worry about that woman anymore, I promise you. Skeletons, I'll let her have a taste of my skeletons! "
Elwyn, Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other anxiously. Because of his excitement, Hagrid kept talking.
No one wanted to admit that they actually knew about the conversation between Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim. Elwyn and Hermione were there.
At first, what Hagrid said was very encouraging, but later on, it became a bit strange!
It seemed that Hagrid's resentment towards Mrs. Maxim was really deep!
Although the result was a little different from what they expected, the matter was finally solved!
Except for some of Slytherin's students, most people didn't care whether Hagrid was a hybrid giant or not.
Everyone was still very happy that he could return to school, although a large part of the reason was that he changed the content of the course.
No one knew if Hagrid wanted to make up for his mistake with the exploding tail conch, or because there were only two exploding tail conches left, or because he wanted to prove that what Professor Grapeland could do, he, Hagrid, could do the same.
Anyway, after Hagrid returned to class, he continued Professor Grapeland's lesson on unicorns.
It turned out that Hagrid's understanding of unicorns was no less than his understanding of trolls.
However, he obviously felt that it was disappointing that unicorns didn't have fangs.
In the second week, Elwyn and the others saw Hagrid catch two unicorn cubs in the Level Three Mythical Creatures Protection class.
The cubs were different from the adult unicorns. They were pure gold and very rare.
When the girls saw them, they went crazy with joy.
"These cubs turn silver when they are about two years old!" Hagrid said to the class, "They have horns when they are four years old, and only when they are adults will they turn pure white, which is about seven years old. When they are young, they are more trusting and don't dislike boys. Come closer, if you want, you can pat them and give them some of these sugar cubes. "
In the class, all the students went up to touch the unicorns one by one, everyone was very excited.
At the same time, everyone's impression of Hagrid changed greatly.
School life returned to normal, and the next thing to consider was to help Ron get through the second game.
After Christmas, the date of the game was very close!
Harry and Hermione reminded Ron every now and then, but he didn't make any substantial progress with the golden egg.
Although he would study it every day, Ron didn't put all his attention on it.
Apart from the daily classes, he and Lavender spent more and more time alone together.
The two of them would sneak out in the evening, go on a date in the castle, and look for empty classrooms. It was like this almost every day.
Ron and Lavender's progress was very fast, and both of them were very open in this aspect, which made Elwyn very envious.
He and Hermione also spent every night alone, but they didn't stick together all day.
Not to mention going to empty classrooms like Ron and Lavender, they almost spent all their time in the library.
Only when they returned to the common room to eat supper very late would they say a few ambiguous words of mutual concern.
It was very plain, but also very happy and very sweet.
