Inside Hogwarts Castle, the students had finished their dinner.
The time for final exams was drawing nearer, and everyone's mood became increasingly tense.
In the Great Hall at this moment, although there were still Little Wizards playing, most people were diligently flipping through books, preparing for their final exams.
Amidst the tense study atmosphere, the sound of a dog barking, “Woof woof woof!” suddenly came from outside the door.
The sound was urgent and mournful, causing the students in the Great Hall to frown.
“Where did this dirty dog come from! Get lost, this isn’t a place you can come!”
Malfoy, who was closest to the Great Hall, called his cronies, opened the Great Hall’s main door, and walked out, only to see Fang outside.
Confirming that Hagrid was nowhere to be seen, he kicked the black dog away.
That’s right, Malfoy did it on purpose.
He recognized that this dog was the simple-minded Hagrid’s hound.
Hagrid and Harry had a very good relationship, and this hound often followed Hagrid around.
Hagrid looked big and rough, not to be trifled with, but opportunities when Hagrid wasn’t around were rare.
After kicking the black dog, he provocatively glanced at Harry and Ron, then left with his cronies.
Fang let out a mournful howl, but ignored the pain in his body and scurried into the Great Hall to find Harry.
“Harry! Look! Look! Fang was kicked by Malfoy! We have to find a way to get him back!”
Ron said to Harry through gritted teeth.
“Exactly, if he hadn’t run away, we would have given him a piece of our mind!”
Harry, upon hearing the familiar barks, also saw Malfoy open the door and kick Fang, and naturally felt a shared indignation.
“But why is Fang the only one who came to the castle? If Hagrid were with him, Malfoy would never dare to be so arrogant!”
Hermione felt a bit puzzled when she saw Fang run into the Great Hall and head straight for them.
“Indeed, Fang doesn’t usually run into the castle; Hagrid is afraid he might scare other students.”
Harry was also a bit confused.
Although Hagrid and Fang were always inseparable in the hut, Hagrid never brought Fang when he came to the castle.
After all, Fang’s large appearance was quite deceptive, and he was afraid Fang might scare the Little Wizards, causing them to react excessively.
The behavior of a wizard after an excessive reaction could be much more ferocious than Fang’s.
Chen Yu saw Fang’s dirty fur and how he immediately bit Harry’s trouser leg and tugged him outward after coming in, seemingly anxious to take Harry somewhere.
Chen Yu thought of how Hagrid was recently investigating the attacks on the Acromantula and Unicorn, and had pinpointed the Dark Wizard disguised as Professor Quirrell.
This meant Hagrid might have encountered Professor Quirrell in the Forbidden Forest, or rather, Professor Quirrell possessed by Lord Voldemort.
If it were just based on physical prowess, Hagrid could certainly beat Professor Quirrell hands down.
But Hagrid couldn’t use magic, while Quirrell could.
Quirrell was the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor; even before being possessed by Lord Voldemort, he was considered an elite wizard in the magical world.
Not to mention Lord Voldemort could take over at any moment.
When the two encountered each other, Hagrid would definitely be in a dangerous situation.
Chen Yu began to suspect that Hagrid might have encountered danger, and Fang had come to seek help.
So he shared this thought with Harry and the others.
“Some time ago, didn’t Hagrid say that the Centaur saw a mysterious Dark Wizard attack a Unicorn? Could Hagrid have run into that Dark Wizard? Is that why Fang came to report?”
Looking at the disheveled and dusty Fang, Harry believed what Chen Yu said.
If Hagrid hadn’t been in danger, Fang wouldn’t have acted so anxiously.
“Yes! It must be! Maybe Hagrid is already in trouble in the Forbidden Forest! Otherwise, Fang wouldn't have run into the castle alone!”
Harry was a bit anxious at this point.
“Woof woof woof…”
Fang seemed to have heard Harry’s guess, released his bite on Harry’s trouser leg, and let out mournful whimpers.
Fang’s behavior undoubtedly confirmed Chen Yu’s idea.
Harry and Ron, those two reckless fellows, immediately got up and ran out of the Great Hall.
Hermione and Chen Yu could only follow closely behind.
After the four of them ran out of the Great Hall, Chen Yu quickly grabbed Harry and Ron, the two hotheads.
“You running over there now is simply too late, and besides, an enemy that even Hagrid can’t deal with, you going there would just be throwing your lives away for nothing. Now, it’s best for you to go notify a professor; I’ll rush over to buy time!”
Chen Yu quickly opened a Dimension Door in front of him with his wand; since he didn’t know where Hagrid was, he temporarily opened it next to Hagrid’s hut.
After telling the three of them, Chen Yu called Fang and stepped through the Dimension Door directly.
“Fang, where is Hagrid’s location? Show me!”
Chen Yu was preparing to close the Dimension Door, then open another Dimension Door in the direction Fang indicated.
Because he didn’t know Hagrid’s exact location, he needed to adjust the directional parameters bit by bit, finally opening a portal closest to Hagrid.
“Chen Yu, wait a minute! I must go!”
Hearing the voice from behind, Chen Yu immediately stopped the Dimension Door from closing behind him.
Harry was indeed a reckless Gryffindor; he was almost cut in half by the Dimension Door Chen Yu was closing.
Chen Yu turned his head and said to Harry in an annoyed tone, “Harry, why are you always so reckless! If I hadn’t stopped the Dimension Door from closing just now, do you know that the part of you that stepped into the Dimension Door would have been cut in half by space!”
Harry felt a wave of fear upon hearing Chen Yu’s warning, but he still mustered his courage and said, “Chen Yu, I must go! If Hagrid is in danger, I cannot, I cannot just stand there and watch!”
To Harry, Hagrid was special.
It was Hagrid who knocked on his door and led him out of the cramped cupboard, bringing him into the world of magic.
It was also Hagrid who first gave him a birthday cake, and he was the first to give him an owl as a pet.
To Harry, Hagrid was a companion, a friend, a guide, and even his “savior.”
It was because of Hagrid that he was able to board the Hogwarts Express, enter Hogwarts School, make friends, and learn magic.
I could have endured the darkness, if I had never seen the light.
Harry simply couldn’t accept it if Hagrid hadn’t appeared in his world, and he was still living that terrible life.
“Please, Chen Yu, take me with you!”
Harry pleaded; he couldn’t imagine his life without Hagrid.
Looking at Harry, who was clinging tightly to his wizard robe and unwilling to let go, Chen Yu, in a dire emergency, could only temporarily agree.
Ron also wanted to follow, but Chen Yu glared at him, “Harry is being foolish, are you being foolish too? Hermione, Ron, quickly go find a professor, whether it’s Professor McGonagall or Dumbledore, either is fine!”
After speaking, without waiting for Ron’s rebuttal, he quickly closed the Dimension Door behind him, then opened another Dimension Door.
After four or five adjustments, under Fang’s guidance, he finally opened a Dimension Door closest to Hagrid.
Chen Yu quickly pulled out his Nimbus 2000 from his Serenitea Pot and let Harry ride the Nimbus 2000.
Harry still had some use; at least his flying speed on the Nimbus 2000 was much faster than his own.
Chen Yu rode behind Harry and pulled out a blue “Oath Ring” from his backpack, handing it to Harry.
He cautioned Harry, “I originally wanted to give this to Fred or George, but since you insisted on coming, this is for you.”
“If you encounter a mortal danger, put this blue bracelet on your wrist. This is an item that can grant you powerful magical combat strength for a short period, but it has irreversible side effects. Once worn, it’s usually not possible to take it off again, so unless it’s absolutely necessary, never put it on.”
Harry, riding the Nimbus 2000, took the blue metal bracelet Chen Yu handed him.
Actually, Harry was a bit apprehensive about coming along; even an enemy that Hagrid couldn’t handle, he would just be a nuisance. But upon hearing Chen Yu say that this blue metal bracelet could grant him powerful magical strength, he was immediately overjoyed.
He quickly asked Chen Yu, “Side effects? What side effects?”
“Probably your integrity.”
“Integrity? What does integrity mean?”
Harry’s flying speed on the Nimbus 2000 was incredibly fast; he saw Hagrid almost instantly.
At this moment, Chen Yu saw Quirrell, dressed in a black robe, slowly approaching Hagrid. In a dire emergency, Chen Yu didn’t bother to explain to Harry.
He immediately jumped off the Nimbus 2000, and using gravity acceleration, performed Bukū-jutsu, flying quickly towards Hagrid.
