Chapter 132 The Talk with Hagrid
In Hagrid's cabin today, Hagrid was the most restless person.
"Hey, Alice, would you like some cake?" He stood up, "I improved this based on the recipe you taught me."
"Cake can be eaten anytime, I think we have more important things to do now." Alice said calmly.
Hagrid sat down slowly.
Alice: "Why did you choose "The Monster Book of Monsters" as a textbook?"
Hagrid: "Because it's fun, of course."
Alice: "Where's the fun point?"
Hagrid unconsciously picked up the textbook in his hand, and the irritable book was as docile as a lamb in his hands.He demonstrated to Alice: "Just stroke it, and it will obey."
"Why?" Alice asked, "Why is it obedient as long as you stroke it? What is the principle of this? How did you come up with this method?"
"This..." Hagrid was stopped by the question, he hesitated for a long time and finally just spit out "Isn't this something that can be known naturally?"
"Naturally," repeated Alice, before continuing. "Did the students learn anything from it? No. Did they find it interesting, then? According to the class response, no."
Hagrid lowered his head in shame: "I, I don't know."
"Assuming that I am using this textbook, I will tell the students in advance that this book is extremely irritable and will bite people. Only by mastering the correct way can they open it. The first person to open it will be rewarded." Alice said, " Regardless of whether anyone successfully opened it, the students have used their brains."
Hagrid didn't answer, obviously still a little ignorant of what Alice said.
"Do you know why Principal Dumbledore asked you to be the professor of protection of magical creatures?" This is a set question, Alice continued, "Because you love magical creatures and have a deep research on this, students can learn from Learned a lot from you."
Even though Hagrid was dropped out of school, even though Hagrid had been working as a forest guard, even though most people looked down on him more or less, there was no doubt about Hagrid's love and understanding of magical creatures.
Alice felt that the headmaster made Hagrid a professor not simply because of sympathy and promoting his own people, but because he thought he could really teach the students some useful knowledge.
It's just that Haigkong has a passion but knows nothing about teaching.Alice sighed: "You have to know that there is a big gap between the students and your level. They may not have heard of the things you take for granted. Especially some creatures that you think will not cause problems. A wrong operation by a student will cause irreversible consequences."
Hagrid looked down, knowing that Alice was talking about the hippogriff.
"Since you are working at Hogwarts and now you are a professor, you should do your job well and put the safety of students first." Alice said meaningfully, "You should put away those Small hobbies, whether it's raising forbidden creatures in the forbidden forest, or bringing dangerous creatures to class."
She was referring to those eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest.Although the matter was finally resolved, Alice still felt dissatisfied because Dumbledore did not have any substantial punishment for Hagrid's behavior of raising dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest.
And those eight-eyed spiders are not easy to deal with.Such a large number of spiders over the years simply cannot be accommodated in a small zoo. She has no choice but to leave the old and infertile spiders in the Forbidden Forest.
And for the spiders in the zoo, Alice really took a lot of brains.One of the core items is to divide male spiders and female spiders into two venues to control their number of births.
Such a series of operations took an unknown amount of brain cells to barely solve the eight-eyed spider's problem. Alice couldn't imagine what would happen if Hagrid's "little" pet was discovered later.
"I'll pay attention," said Hagrid languidly, "but I don't know how to give them a lesson. Those regular creatures are too boring to be called magical creatures."
And the Hippogriff, which he thought was not so dangerous and could be fun with a little care, had an accident in his first class.
Even as big-hearted as Hagrid was feeling a little depressed now.
"Learning is inherently boring, you can't interest everyone including yourself." Alice looked at the sun rising to the highest point and suddenly had an idea, "Don't you have a good relationship with Harry and the others?" ? You can ask them to practice with you before each class."
Although Alice doubts whether the three of Harry will be too brave and fearless as Gryffindors, for now, this method should still have some effect.
"Oh, and Neville." Alice recalled the psychological questionnaire she received last year, "All these people must think that there is no problem with your class content."
The reason why Neville was chosen was that on the one hand, he was not as bold as Harry in ignoring the school rules, and on the other hand, because he was a Gryffindor and kind-hearted, so he would not discriminate against half-giants.
"Okay, I'll tell Harry and the others tomorrow." Hagrid assured repeatedly, "This kind of thing will not happen again today."
"It's getting late, I'm leaving first." Alice finally walked to Hagrid's side, tiptoed and patted his arm, "You have to remember that you are a professor and you must ensure the safety of your students."
Walking out of the hut, Alice was in a mixed mood. She seemed to be teaching a lesson to the students just now, and she was still a related student who couldn't even deduct points.
Walking slowly from the Forbidden Forest to the castle, she was watching for any cute animals along the way.Like the squirrels she saw when she was a student.
It's a pity that there is no squirrel, not even the bird mother and bird daughter who used to quarrel with her.
"Has it been so long? I'm no longer a teenage green girl?" Alice sighed and turned into a mirror, "It's okay, it's still beautiful."
Just when Alice was about to put away the mirror, she saw a person.
"Remus Lupine?" Through the mirror, Alice saw the figure standing beside the Whomping Willow.
She thought for a while, put away the mirror and walked over.
"Professor Lupine." Alice still greeted officially.
Lupine should have been fascinated by the Whomping Willow before, but when he heard Alice's voice, he was startled at first, and then showed a surprised expression.
"I'm not a scourge, am I?" Alice made a joke.
Lupine reacted and smiled kindly: "Good afternoon, Professor Hall. I just thought you wouldn't like me that much."
What he said was already very euphemistic. In fact, after discovering that Alice Hall appeared in Snape's office at night, Lupine had already tacitly agreed that this young and beautiful witch would hate him.
"I can only say that I don't like it very much, because you and Severus have a bad relationship, don't you?" Alice said honestly, "But this is a contradiction between you, ignore this, you still give me a good feeling get along, so I don't hate you either."
Lupine smiled: "Thank you, I'm very happy if you don't hate me."
It has to be said that Lupine's emotional intelligence is very good, at least after some conversations, Alice is not ashamed to show his face at all.
Simply, she didn't intend to embarrass the professor who was living in a difficult life, and instead of exchanging pleasantries, Alice went straight to the point: "Severus told me that he would provide you with the wolfsbane potion every month, but I think it's conservative. Maybe you can leave Hogwarts when the moon is full?"
Seeing that Lupine was not angry, she continued to explain: "I didn't mean to offend, I was just worried about the safety of the students, I hope you can understand."
In fact, Alice's identity is not suitable for saying such things, but she cares too much about Hogwarts, her only home, so much that she directly passed the headmaster.
So she was even mentally prepared that Lupine would say no.
"I'll think about it." Lupine's face was a little pale, and he looked at Alice sincerely, "Can you give Snape a word for me? I'm very sorry about what happened back then."
"What's the matter?" Alice asked subconsciously.
"You don't know?" Lupine was even more surprised than Alice.
……
In the cellar, according to the usual practice, Snape should sort out tomorrow's teaching materials at this time.
"So what are you doing here?" He looked at Alice who was standing in front of him and asked, "Shouldn't you go home and feed the furball now?"
"You never told me about being nearly killed by Lupine." Alice stared straight at Snape, as if he had done something heinous.
"That's nothing to say."
"Almost died, is there nothing to say?"
Snape looked calm, and asked, "Why did Lupine tell you this?"
"Let me convey my apology for him." Alice lowered her voice extremely low.
Snape looked at Alice with her head down and asked, "But you didn't convey it for him."
"This is your business, and it shouldn't be conveyed by me."
"In that case, I don't accept his apology." Snape sighed, "Then can you tell me now, why are you crying again?"
When Alice heard this, she immediately raised her head, staring at her red eyes: "What is another? I have cried many times?"
"No, I slipped the tongue," Snape said quickly.
Alice lowered her head again, wiping away her tears with Snape's wide sleeve as if venting her anger.
"That was a long time ago, and as you can see, I'm alive and well," Snape said.
"Who said I was worried about your life?" Alice's face was buried in her clothes, and even her voice was muffled, "I'm just a little bit unwilling."
Only now did she realize that ten years is not just a number, it is a real, distant time that cannot be touched by her.
Alice didn't say anything about being reconciled, and Snape didn't ask, he just rubbed Alice's head helplessly: "Okay, okay..."
