The Silent Witch of Hogwarts

Chapter 62: Hagrid and Tooth

It's just...it's just so embarrassing!

Walking along the path outside Hogwarts Castle, Loila covered her face, wishing she could cast a Cruciatus Curse on herself just now... How embarrassing!

And if this "desire" continues... the three unforgivable curses won't be enough.

Of course she knew Miss Granger, the girl she had met on the train to Hogwarts... and she was also the student who asked her the most questions after arriving at Hogwarts.

But... but... just now, as a professor, I was actually... educated, or rather, helped by my own student.

But none of the Loilas could be happy!

However... however, Miss Granger did point me in a direction.

That's right, Hagrid... If I could ask Hagrid for help... wouldn't I not have to go to Hogsmeade myself?

No need to squeeze in with so many students...

Loila felt a little relieved.

She gently raised her wand and walked through a grove of trees, after which Professor Hamilton, wearing a hood and mask, reappeared.

Of course, she couldn't ask Hagrid for help as a student... after all, Hagrid didn't know any Miss Hamer Lola.

According to Miss Granger's note, this should be the place, right?

Looking at the small house nestled in the woods not far away, Loila pursed her lips and took a deep breath. What she had to do next was ask someone for help, which was a very difficult task.

Moreover, the person making this request was Hagrid. Although he was a very nice person, his enormous body was simply... truly terrifying.

Hagrid's oppressive presence was roughly equivalent to 0.75 times that of Professor Snape...

"Oh? Professor Hamilton?"

"Ah!" The sudden greeting from behind startled Loila, and she instinctively raised her wand and took a few steps back.

"It's me, Hagrid." The newcomer smiled, and his tall figure made Loila purse her lips and carefully put away her wand.

"Hagrid... Hagrid..."

Have you also learned Dumbledore's tricks? Will you appear whenever I mention you?

"Did you come to see me?" Hagrid was carrying a large package and looked like he had just come back from outside.

"Ah...yes..." Hagrid's words reminded Loira. She took a deep breath and organized her thoughts before saying, "I'd like to ask you for a favor, Hagrid...I heard...I heard you're going to Hogsmeade, and I hope you can bring back some wolf-making supplies for me!"

"Ah, no... it's wolf... wolfsbane potion..."

"The materials..."

The speech was going smoothly until I bit my tongue, after which the sound became softer and softer.

"The ingredients for the wolfsbane potion?" Hagrid paused, scratching his head as he said, "I am indeed going to Hogsmeade... but I'm not quite sure what the wolfsbane potion requires."

"I...I can write it down...and then..." Loila stammered, "and then...and then you can help me..."

My face must be burning red… Loila thought to herself.

And I must have looked incredibly humiliated in front of Hagrid... I actually bit my own tongue and stuff... How could a professor in his sixties do something like that?

"But I'm not quite sure how to choose the ingredients," Hagrid said, somewhat embarrassed. "I don't know anything about potions."

"Making wolfsbane must be a lot of trouble, right?" Hagrid paused and said, "What if I bought the wrong one..."

"Ah... I see... It seems so..." Loila also realized this. If Hagrid hadn't bought the correct materials, or if there was something wrong with the materials... then it was very likely that a bottle of wolfsbane potion would be wasted.

I don't have many Galleons myself... even with Mr. Lupin's help...

"By the way, Miss Hamilton, are you busy later?" Hagrid asked, a little puzzled, "Why don't you go by yourself?"

"Because...because of me..." Loila nervously clutched the hem of her clothes, unable to bring herself to say that she didn't know the way.

This is so embarrassing... I just embarrassed myself in front of Miss Granger... Am I going to embarrass myself in front of Hagrid now?

"But I don't... I don't... have anything to do in a bit..." Royla stammered as she answered Hagrid's question, avoiding the main point.

"That's good." Hagrid said, walking to the door of the hut and putting down the bundle he was carrying. "Shall we go to Hogsmeade together?"

"It's not far, it only takes about ten minutes to get there."

"Ah! ... ...

"I……"

"There shouldn't be as many people there as in Diagon Alley," Hagrid said with a shrug. "Besides, if we go together, I can help you carry your things."

"You don't look like someone who can lift a lot of medicinal herbs."

Ah...actually, I don't have enough money to buy many medicinal herbs, and I have the Space Expansion Book...

But none of that matters, Hagrid... The important thing is... I'm a little scared...

"Come on, Miss Hamilton." Hagrid seemed oblivious to Loira's thoughts. He laughed as he opened the door and called out a dog.

"This is..." Loila was subconsciously drawn to the dog. She had always liked small animals, or rather, she actually had a good impression of magical creatures.

Look... they're smart and can't talk...aren't they much easier to get along with than wizards and Muggles who eat Veela?

Mainly because they can't talk...

"This is Tooth, my dog," Hagrid said, bending down to pat the dog's head. "It looks a bit muscular, but it's actually quite timid."

Is that so...?

Loila watched Hagrid's actions and instinctively wanted to pet the dog too, but she was a little scared... what if it got upset...?

"Want to touch it?" Hagrid chuckled, watching Loila stare longingly at Tooth. "Tooth won't bite."

"Then...then I'll have to bother you...Ya...Mr. Ya..." Loila said softly, bending down and reaching out to touch Ya's head.

"Woo~" When it saw someone suddenly approaching, Ya Ya subconsciously took a few steps back, but as if sensing that Loila meant no harm, it still carefully raised its head.

It's so...so hot...Loila's hand touched Yaya's head, and she subconsciously stroked it back and forth.

So cute...so adorable...

"what!"

Tooth seemed a little happy. It suddenly stuck out its tongue and licked Loila's hand, which startled her so much that she screamed and took a few steps back.

"Oh! Bad Tooth!" Haigla said, tugging at the rope. "You're such a bad dog!"

"That's just how it is," Hagrid said, scratching his head sheepishly. "It licks cute girls with its tongue..."

Am I a cute girl?

Loila glanced at her slightly damp hands and thought that Yaya might just be a little hungry.

Besides, I'm not a girl... I'm an adult!

However, with Tooth with her around... Loila felt much more relaxed for some reason. At least if Hagrid was really hungry, he could eat Tooth first, right?

Ah, just kidding, of course. Loila no longer believes Hagrid would eat people.

Of course I don't believe it!

However... it would be even better if Axe could take her to Hogsmeade on her own.
