Chapter 179 Find out who the father is
Newt stepped forward to stop Hagrid from packing his things, and turned his tall body around to face Fudge.
"Listen up, Mr. Hagrid."
Fudge clenched his fist and coughed, then shook the parchment in his hand and continued reading: "First, make the following decision to reinstate Professor Rubeus Hagrid..."
After hearing this, Hagrid looked at Dumbledore in disbelief. Dumbledore nodded at him, and then Hagrid felt a sense of reality.
"I can stay in school? Really!"
"Yes, Hagrid."
"I haven't finished yet." Fudge coughed twice again, turning everyone's attention back to himself, "But Buckbeak is too dangerous, and the Ministry of Magic has decided to keep him in the care of Newt Scamander. Ministry of Magic, June 1995, 6."
After hearing the result, the three people outside the window clapped their hands silently.
Afro mouthed "success" to the two of them, and her happy look made Harry forget the troubles in his heart for a short while.
Hagrid very much agreed with this result. Although he could not live with Buckbeak, he believed that it would have a better life with Newt.
He wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes again, opened the fur bag he had just packed, and filled it with a lot of ferrets that Buckbeak loved to eat.
"I'll take you to find it." Hagrid led the three of them into the depths of the Forbidden Forest. After the incident, he hid Buckbeak in the forest, thinking of letting him go secretly one day.
After Hagrid's matter was over, Avro and his companions returned to the castle under the moonlight.
On the way, Harry opened his mouth hesitantly several times, but said nothing.
When they were almost at the castle gate, Afro couldn't bear it anymore and pulled the boy, and Harry stopped immediately.
Hermione folded her arms and waited for Harry to make the request himself.
"Harry, if you don't tell me, I can still have a store, a street stall, and a tricycle after this village. Are you going to tell me or not?"
Harry lowered his eyelids to hide the complex emotions in his eyes. He knew that Afro could always see what he was thinking.
"I want to go see——"
"Okay, we'll go with you."
Afro spoke softly in his ear, and even though his ears were caressed by the soft breath, his heart was itching.
"Okay." The hoarse voice was carried to her ears by the breeze. Afro was stunned for a moment, her heartbeat seemed to stop for a beat, and then vibrated rapidly.
At the same moment, a gentle voice passed by their ears, caressing their soft hearts, and the beating of the same frequency made the two unable to extricate themselves.
"Think about it, where are we at this moment?" Hermione suddenly spoke up, interrupting the wonderful atmosphere spreading in the air.
Afro instantly broke away from her own thoughts from the throbbing feeling and touched the tip of her nose in an attempt to hide her mistake.
"Should be at the Whomping Willow."
Once again, Harry looked up absentmindedly.
As the moon rose high in the sky, they should have found the truth under the Whomping Willow.
"Let's go? Let's check the four streets to find out who the father is!" Afro turned around heroically and waved his arms towards the Whomping Willow.
Harry was amused by her words. His eyebrows twitched slightly, and the smile at the corners of his mouth was tinged with an imperceptible tenderness.
"Afro~" He shook his head helplessly. Sometimes the girl's eccentricity would really make him fall into self-doubt.
How on earth did he think Aphrodite would be a goddess who was detached from the world?
Dark clouds covered the sky, completely blocking out the moonlight, and the sky took on a deep gray hue.
The three of them huddled under a big tree, waiting for Sirius and Lupin to come out.
A gust of cold wind blew, and Afro unconsciously hugged her arms and shivered. Seeing this, Harry opened his coat and held the girl tightly against his chest.
"I say, you are going too far." Hermione, who also felt cold, turned her head and saw two people hugging each other, and her teeth instantly started to ache.
"Let me hug you?" Afro opened her arms and extended her embrace to Hermione.
Just as Hermione was about to come over with a grin, Harry suddenly spoke to divert their attention.
"Aphrodite, I can invite you during the holidays..." Harry swallowed to moisten his dry throat, and he nervously snapped his fingers. This was the first time he invited a girl, and he was both nervous and full of anticipation.
"Of course!" Afro agreed without hesitation before Harry finished speaking, "But your uncle——"
"Great, it's not the Dursleys', it's Sirius's!"
When Harry heard the girl's acceptance, he laughed happily at first, but then when he saw her, he was afraid that she would go back on her word, so he hurriedly explained.
"Wow, Sirius? It couldn't be better!"
Afro seemed to be moved by these words, and a warm smile appeared on her lips. She was happy for Harry from the bottom of her heart.
Because he finally had a home of his own.
"We're out." Hermione, who had been staring at the Whomping Willow, couldn't help but pat the two people who were imagining the future.
Avro followed her line of sight and saw a tall and thin man emerge from under the Whomping Willow. Behind him came Harry and Avro who were holding Ron, and Lupin who was controlling Snape with his wand.
"Let's go!" Harry, who was still immersed in his fantasy, couldn't wait to run over from the other side after seeing Lupin turn into a werewolf.
They followed the edge of the woods, around the back of the Whomping Willow, and came to a small uphill slope on the left.
Hermione pulled aside the bushes and saw the werewolf Lupin raised his claws and was about to hit Harry in the next second. She didn't have time to think about it, and made a trumpet shape with her hands and put them to her mouth.
"Howl~"
Aphrodite and Harry covered her mouth in fear, but Hermione shook their hands off and spoke to them anxiously.
"I'll distract Lupin, you guys go to the lake."
After saying that, Hermione howled like a wolf and ran in the opposite direction.
"Hermione!" Afro wanted to grab her hand, but she passed her by.
"Aphrodite, we have to leave!"
Harry held her wrist and ran in the direction where "he" and Sirius disappeared.
"2333, help me add a protective shield to Hahmian."
"Okay, little Afu!" 23 immediately opened the control panel and modified Hermione's character attributes according to the instructions in the manual.
As a result, I accidentally filled up the attribute bar.
23: ...
When Aphrodite and Harry arrived at the lake, they happened to catch the Dementors attacking "them".
"Wait a minute!" Harry stopped Avro from casting a spell, still looking at the other side of the lake with anticipation.
"They will come, they will come." The voice became smaller and smaller, almost imperceptible, "Wait a little longer..."
The lake gradually froze, and the number of Dementors in the sky gradually increased. "Harry" on the other side of the lake was about to lose consciousness, and Sirius' chest was getting weaker and weaker.
"Don't worry, they'll be back."
"Harry, you're dying..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Harry took out his wand and read out loud the spell that he had already memorized.
A stag leaped down from the top of the wand, and a huge silver shield lit up the entire sky, driving the Dementors forward.
Afro was deeply shocked by this scene. She unconsciously walked to Harry and held his shoulders.
