(Recently, I have to change back to sleep jet lag, so the update time will be adjusted starting tomorrow. I want to ask everyone¡¯s opinion. Do you think it is better to update in the morning or at night?)
Looking at the different expressions of the two people in front of him, Verne couldn't help but smile. He knew that Hagrid didn't like him, but he never complained about it. After all, he knew Filch's virtue very well and absolutely He would use the alchemy tools he invented to trouble Hagrid, but after all, everyone has his own position. Since he chose to side with Filch, he had to owe Hagrid something.
"Okay, Harry, don't be nervous, I'm not angry." Verne glanced at Ron, who was dissatisfied, and asked: "Ron, you didn't quarrel with Hagrid, did you?"
"How dare I!" Ron said exaggeratedly: "He can crush me into the size of 'Bibi's Multi-Flavour Beans' with one finger! But Verne, wouldn't you be angry with what this guy said? ?¡±
"Thank you, Ron, I'm very grateful for your love and care for me." Verne patted Ron on the shoulder. He knew that the most important thing now was to appease the other person's emotions. After all, someone was fighting for you, but he was still He looks like he doesn't care, but he can easily hurt others.
When Verne noticed that the corners of Ron's ears were reddish and started to dodge uncomfortably, he then said: "Please don't blame Hagrid, Ron, because what Hagrid said is, in a way, It's correct." Seeing the confused looks in their eyes, he explained: "Ten years ago, because of my family's financial problems, the kind Dumbledore gave me a job at Hogwarts. I was assigned to work under Mr. Filch."
Verne looked at Harry and Ron's admiring glances and said with a smile: "Actually, Mr. Filch's character is not as bad as you think. He really takes good care of me." At this time, Ron He curled his lips disapprovingly, "We tidy up the environment of Hogwarts together, repair broken utensils together, and even hunt down mischievous students together."
Verne showed a nostalgic look and continued: "Although I was very busy and tired every day at that time, this is one of my best memories now. What a simple day it was I know how you are today I don¡¯t understand this feeling, but you will understand it after you graduate.¡± At this moment, he suddenly remembered the plot of the original work, and added, ¡°Maybe you will understand it before you graduate.¡±
Seeing Verne's meaningful smile, Harry had a bad premonition, but before he could ask, Verne said again: "Back to the story, I don't deny that I hated the sea very much at that time. Hagrid, I have had conflicts with him I know he is very nice, Harry," he winked at Harry, "but I think since you visited Hagrid's house today, you should be more concerned about his hygiene. Do you understand something?"
"Perhaps you can change your position and imagine that you spent most of the day making a corridor bright and tidy, but Hagrid didn't care at all and walked through it covered in mud, leaving a row of footprints or If you drop some animal feathers and food crumbs while walking, I think you will also be filled with anger, right?"
At this moment, Harry recalled that after he had worked so hard to tidy up the Dursleys' yard lawn, he was deliberately stepped on by Dudley, and then was wronged when his uncle scolded him, so even though he was standing Hagrid, on the other hand, had to admit in his heart that the other party had gone too far. At the same time, he also had a little more respect for Filch who worked hard to keep the campus clean.
"Hagrid is really too much. He" Ron suddenly stopped speaking. It turned out that Verne stopped his impulsive words with his eyes. "Ron, please remember to be careful in your words and actions," Ron followed Verne's gaze and looked at Harry, then felt a little embarrassed, "Also, please take a look at the soles of your shoes. Fortunately, you didn't wear them on the way here. Meet Mr. Filch, otherwise I won¡¯t be able to explain to him.¡±
Hearing this, Ron leaned over and looked at the soles of his feet, only to find that the upper surface of the shoes was covered with mud. Then he suddenly realized that it was the dirt that he had stuck on when he passed a mud puddle just now, and he immediately felt ashamed. Lower your head. At the same time, Harry secretly retracted his legs and hid under the table to prevent Verne from discovering that he was doing the same.
After a long time, Harry whispered again: "Professor Caedmon, I think with Hagrid's character, if you explain this reason clearly to him, he will definitely be willing to reconcile with you or even apologize. Maybe I can ¡¡±
Verne waved his hand to stop Harry's further words and said: "Thank you for your kindness, Harry, but I think this is impossible. After all, there are other reasons for our opposition to each other, which is why I I said before that I didn¡¯t blame Hagrid.¡±
"Mr. Filch has a ratherwell, 'persistent' personality, advocating the coping methods mentioned in the 'Old Babylonian Manual', uh, that is, 'a tooth for a tooth' and 'an eye for an eye', so he"?Hagrid made many 'disrespectful' acts of revenge. "Verne was so oblivious to the elders that he suddenly felt a headache. He simply said bluntly: "For example, throwing the hot steak directly on Hagrid's body, or installing a machine behind the gate of Hogwarts.' The magic vacuum cleaner that can only automatically sense whether Hagrid's body is clean or not, well this may be what makes Hagrid the most angry. After all, when he stepped on the stairs leading to the castle, there was a vacuum cleaner surrounding him. It was spinning and making a rumbling whistling sound, which was really embarrassingespecially since the machine was only targeting him. "
"Well, didn't Hagrid dismantle him?" Although he had only known Hagrid for a short time, Harry knew very well that Hagrid's temper would accidentally get out of control at certain times, such as turning Dudley into a pig tail.
"That magic vacuum cleaner is not easy to disassemble." Faced with Ron and Harry's suspicious looks, Verne smiled awkwardly, "Okay, okay, to tell you the truth, that machine was made by me, and the settings are Some devices to prevent damage. Although it is simple to repair, it is expensive to build. It is also registered as a Hogwarts school property by Mr. Filch, so if Hagrid destroys it, he will have to pay a lot of money. Roaring."
"It turns out that you are the culprit" After looking at each other, Harry and Ron murmured in tacit understanding.
"Then Professor, if that's the case, why don't you take it personally"
Verne shook his head and said: "Harry, if I do this, Mr. Filch will be angry. Compared to Hagrid, I care more about his feelings, so I'm sorry."
Harry opened and closed his mouth, but didn't know what to say. Although he was a little angry in his heart, he could somewhat understand Verne's mood and helplessness. In the past, when Dudley threatened all his classmates not to be friends with Harry, he understood a truth: "People can never make decisions based solely on morality."
"I know that if we simply compare personality and character, Hagrid is definitely far better than Mr. Filch. If possible, I am very willing to make friends with him, but" Verne sighed and held up his hands. He took a sip of the slightly cold tea and said with emotion: "Things in the world can't always go as you want. The only thing you can do is to choose the people and things you care about most, even though you may regret what you gave up. , but remember, greed will never end well, and a self-righteous conscience will even hurt people's hearts!"
This is a special emotion left by Voldemort's soul piece when it absorbed the memory of Ravenclaw. The mood in it is extremely sincere and seems to be full of regret, but perhaps this is also the main reason why Voldemort did not delete this emotion. The reason is because he also wanted to use this sentence to remind himself that on the road to pursuing immortality, he must not get lost in the scenery along the way.
Because, although they are also beautiful, they are definitely not the most important!
(This chapter is really inspired by my feelings. The author once suffered a lot because of this, just because I didn¡¯t want to give up the secondary importance and thought that I had a clear conscience.)
