Admiral of Hogwarts

353 Hogsmeade Day

Since there were no classes next, Hugo and the three of them stayed at Hagrid's invitation, planning to chat, drink tea, and return to the castle after dinner.

Of course, considering the almost all-pervasive Rita in the original text, Skeeter. After entering the hut, Hugo immediately carefully checked the surroundings with magic and deployed defensive magic. Make sure that pesky beetle isn't listening.

"Orim told me that as part of the school exchange, her students might want to sit in on the Care of Magical Creatures class at Hogwarts." Hagrid said as he poured tea for several people after everyone sat down.

"I don't think the French appreciate those animals that are too strong, so I prepared some beautiful little guys for them. And today's horse is used for training."

With that said, Hagrid walked to Hugo's side, and then whispered while pouring tea. "Thank you for your warning. I heard from many people that Orim has been under great pressure in recent years. It is indeed right not to say some things."

"Orim? Have you and Madame Maxime started calling each other by name? It seems that your relationship is progressing very quickly." Hugo said after taking a sip of tea.

"I think I need to change my teaching plan. Madam Maxime thinks that the content of my courses is not very popular with girls at least. Hermione, Veneto, what do you think?"

Facing Hugo's joke, Hagrid embarrassedly changed the subject. If he hadn't been full of beard, his whole face would probably be red right now.

"Yes, I think you can add some animals that most people like among the, um - animals that are more popular with you, so the teaching effect should be better."

Hermione put forward her opinion after considering it. The days of seeing bomb-tailed snails in every class were really terrible for most people. Although she was not worried about those animals hurting her now, those animals were just Just the way he looks makes him feel unhappy.

"Yes, Hermione is right." Veneto also nodded, "And even if it's just from the perspective of the curriculum, I'd like to talk a lot about magical creatures like Blast-Ended Skrewts that are not on the curriculum. The day of the week is also very inappropriate——"

"Okay, I think, I think you may be right." After falling in love, Hagrid was not as stubborn as before. In the following time, he even discussed with Hugo and the others what to study in the second half of the semester. Animals are more appropriate.

"I really hope Hagrid can stay in this state," Hermione said on the way back to the castle.

"Then it depends on how long he can stay in love this time?" Hugo also silently prayed that Hagrid's love journey would go well. Unless Hagrid could improve an edible snail species, he would never like something that looked like a deformed slug.

Classes will be as usual in the following days until Hogsmeade Day arrives in mid-January.

After breakfast that morning, Hugo, Hermione and Veneto left the castle together and walked through the cold and damp grounds towards the school gate.

And when they passed by the Black Lake, they saw Krum walking from the cabin to the deck, wearing only a pair of swimming trunks. Then he walked all the way to the side of the boat and jumped into the lake.

"It seems like Krum already knows what the next game is going to be," Veneto said as Krum made a splash on the calm lake. "Hopefully he can handle the water temperatures in Black Lake in the spring."

While walking around the streets of Hogsmeade, Hugo tried to find a suspicious person. For example, the one who took Polyjuice Potion. Unfortunately, his luck was not enough to allow him to directly meet the target on the street.

Fortunately, he didn't expect this method to be successful, so after strolling along the street, they walked to the Three Broomsticks bar to prepare for a drink.

The tavern was as lively as usual. After all, the British traditionally regard taverns as the main social occasion. It took Hugo a while to squeeze to the front of the table and order two cups of butter beer heated with ginger powder and maple syrup.

Through the mirror behind the bar, Hugo saw the figure of Ludo Bagman reflected in the mirror. He was sitting in a dark corner with a group of goblins.

Bagman was lowering his voice and speaking quickly to the goblins. The goblins all crossed their arms with ugly expressions and looked menacing.

It seems that Ludo may have set up another bet in the Triwizard Tournament, and based on the current situation, the situation of this bet is obviously not optimistic.

Bagman looked around as he spoke. Because there was something special about Veneto's silver hair, he immediately discovered Veneto's existence.

Obviously, what Bagman is doing now is not suitable for others to know, especially the Triwizard Tournament players. So soon after discovering Veneto, he left the bar with the goblins.

When they went out, they happened to pass by Harry, Ron and Ginny. As a result, Bagman pulled Harry aside as if he had seen a treasure and wanted to explain something.

After seeing this scene, the Weasley brothers and sisters could only shake their heads helplessly. Then they looked around the door and then walked to the round table where Hugo and the others were sitting and sat down.

"Has Harry figured out what the third project is now?" Hugo asked Ron after exchanging pleasantries.

"Not yet." Ginny shook her head helplessly at this time and said, "But Harry said that he had already had an idea before, and it seemed that he couldn't think of anything while sitting in the castle all day, so he came out to wander around today. It might be a good idea to transfer.”

"That makes sense." Hugo nodded, "Sometimes a change of environment may give people some new inspiration, which is much better than just sitting there and thinking hard."

Soon, Harry came out of Ludo Bagman's entanglement and walked to the table and sat down. At the same time, there was an expression full of anger on his face.

"What does he want?" Ron asked as soon as Harry sat down.

"He offered to help me unlock the secret of the golden egg," Harry said. For him, he felt that Bagman's approach was obviously an insult to his ability and IQ.

"He shouldn't have done this!" Everyone at the table looked shocked when they heard the news. Then Ginny stared into Harry's eyes and said, "He is one of the referees! And, didn't you say before that you had I found an idea——"

"Hmm... more or less." Harry said hesitantly.

"We have also found out what the content of the second game is." After a quick exchange of opinions through the Admiral's network. Hermione said. "Just soak the golden egg in water and open it, and you will hear new sounds."?

"Is that so, Harry?" After hearing what Hermione said, Ginny turned her head and looked at Harry and asked.

"Sorry, I lied just now." Harry pursed his lips hard and said with a look of shame, then looked at Hugo and the others: "Thank you, thank you very much for your help."

"It's nothing. I think you can find the correct solution to this puzzle in the past two days even if we don't tell you." Hugo said, shaking his head gently. "This puzzle is just a small problem. After you listen to it, you will know that the real difficulty has just begun."
