Observing this, Jerry simply waved his hand and humbly replied, Its nothing, Hagrid. Youve assisted me greatly in the past and taught me a lot about magical creatures.
Indeed, Hagrid had been a significant source of knowledge and support for Jerry.
Moreover, Jerry had acquired many magical creatures from Hagrid, making the act of giving him a convenient space box a simple gesture.
However, Harry and Ron, standing nearby, couldnt help but voice their bewilderment. What in the world just happened with that box?
They watched as Hagrids enormous head was briefly engulfed by the small box and then released, leaving them thoroughly puzzled.
Hermione, with her typical wisdom, came to the rescue. You two are being quite clueless. Its a high-level spell called the Traceless Stretch Charm, which expands the space within. Youve seen it used before when we encountered those enlarged tents at the Quidditch World Cup camp.
With Hermiones explanation, Harry and Rons confusion began to dissipate.
They both joined Hagrid in exploring the expanded space within the box.
This space wasnt just extensive; it contained lawns, forests, lakes, and even a wooden house similar to Hagrids hut.
The sight left them in awe, struggling to find words to convey their astonishment at Jerrys exceptional abilities.
In truth, creating such a space was a straightforward task for Jerry and required minimal effort.
The real challenge lay in the ongoing perfection of his ring world.
He had been working on it for over two months and had yet to complete even a fraction of the rules required.
To reach the fundamental 50% mark, he still had a long way to go.
After helping Hagrid set up the boxs interior and ensuring the three young Dragons were comfortable in their nests with ample food, it was already noon.
To express his gratitude for their assistance, Hagrid prepared a large pot of meat using his massive iron pot.
However, upon seeing the unfamiliar creatures claws in the thick soup, their appetites vanished.
Fortunately, Jerry, who was skilled in culinary magic, made some adjustments and transformed the dish into a delightful meal.
Following lunch, the rain outside began to intensify, bringing a noticeable drop in temperature.
Hagrids hut provided welcome warmth, with the stove continuously burning.
The group excitedly speculated on who among them had the highest likelihood of being chosen as a Hogwarts champion that evening and who might ultimately win the top three cups in the Triwizard Tournament.
They also pondered the three tasks set for this years tournament.
Although the initial question still lingered in their minds, the anticipation of potential surprises persisted.
It was akin to buying a lottery ticket, knowing that winning was a remote possibility.
Yet, like eager lottery ticket holders awaiting the draw, they hoped for unlikely miracles until they had concrete answers.
Instead of lamenting on the problem even further, they decided they should just enjoy the meals before them that Jerry had cooked.
In the cheerful afternoon, they shared their meals together along while watching the Dragonlings playing and hovering around in their baby wings.
Hermione even thought about how such creatures could look really cute when, in the end, they would turn akin to a weapon of mass destruction in the wrong hand.The original appearance of this chapter can be found at N0v3l.B1n.
They collectively knew neither Hagrid nor Jerry had those kinds of thoughts while keeping these Magical Creatures. They simply wanted to have them as a pet to watch them grow and have fun together!
Its nearly time for us to head back! Jerry glanced at the darkening sky outside the window around 5:30 in the afternoon and reminded the others.
Hermione acknowledged, Yes, the Halloween dinner is coming up.
Harry and Ron eagerly leaped from their chairs, their voices filled with excitement. Dont forget about the announcement of the school champions tonight. Thats the main event!
Hagrid, who had been preparing food for the three Fire Dragonlings, put everything down.
He removed his trusty moleskin jacket, donned a rarely seen suit, used magical smoothing agents on his hair, and even applied a copious amount of cologne, permeating the cabin with a pungent scent.
Hermione pinched her nose, her voice strangled by the overpowering fragrance. Hagrid, what kind of aftershave is that?
Hagrid seemed to realize his mistake and turned slightly red. Erm its cologne. I picked it up in Hogsmeade this morning while buying brandy. Might have gone a tad overboard with it. Hold on, Ill wash it off.
He quickly left the room and washed the cologne off at a bucket by the entrance while Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Jerry exchanged puzzled glances.
Harry mused, Somethings off. Ive never seen Hagrid like this.
Ron agreed, Yeah, that suit, the hair not like him at all.
Jerry, however, had a different insight. Perhaps its love. Hagrids still single.
Jerry knew that Hagrid had likely fallen for Maxime, a fellow half-blood giant and the headmistress of Beauxbatons.
Half-blood giants were a rare occurrence in the wizarding world, and it wasnt common for wizards to have romantic feelings for giants many times their size.
Hence, Hagrid might have developed an affection for Maxim, who was a kindred spirit.
Hermione then pointed outside the window. Look over there!
Two hundred meters from Hagrids hut, Maxime disembarked from a carriage with Beauxbatons students and made her way towards the castle.
When Hagrid saw her, he appeared as though his soul had been drawn out of him.
He left behind Jerry and the others in the hut to catch up with Maxim and walk alongside her.
Harry, now somewhat irritated, commented, Thats quite a sight.
Ron added, If they ever have kids, itd be a record-breaker. I bet each one would weigh a ton.
Seeing how they would likely to slander Hagrid further only made Jerry shake his head in disbelief.
Humans truly cant see their colleagues succeed alone without bringing them together
The root of jealousy between the two is simply because they still dont have any partners themselves, compared to Jerry, who might end up with Hermione at this rate.
Jerry offered a more understanding perspective. Well, if you think about it, our Hogwarts Care of Magical Creatures professor marrying the Headmistress of Beauxbatons isnt such a bad match.
He raised his hand and smiled, trying to console Harry and Ron, who had been completely ignored by Hagrid.
Seeing the boys in that kind of mood somehow made Hermione laugh before she stared at Jerry unconsciously, forgetting how she herself was actually mad in love with the young wizard before her.
Dont push your luck, Hermione! You need to take a look at a mirror sometimes. Ron exclaimed, feeling bothered by her laughs.
Instead of backing down from the argument, Hermione replied back.
Well, if I see myself in a mirror, I would see a beautiful, smart, young witch. Isnt that right, Jerry?
Hearing her remark only made Ron feel more at a loss, so he decided to stop bothering her for the time.
Observing this, Jerry simply waved his hand and humbly replied, Its nothing, Hagrid. Youve assisted me greatly in the past and taught me a lot about magical creatures.
