……
Kyle had only walked from the common room to the door of the auditorium when he heard five or six versions of the story, each one more outrageous than the last.
To be honest, if Lockhart had come to Hogwarts to apply earlier, he probably wouldn't have had to borrow stories from everywhere to write his books.
When Kyle arrived at the courtyard, it became a little quieter.
There was no one at the entrance of the school hospital.
Because of the Quidditch match, most of the students went to the stadium, so when Hagrid was sent to the school hospital, he was not seen by the young wizards, and naturally no one knew that he had been attacked.
Kyle knocked on the door nervously. He was not sure whether Madam Pomfrey would let him in, and he was even prepared to return empty-handed.
But surprisingly, Madam Pomfrey said nothing and just stepped aside to let him in.
"You'd better try to persuade him. There is no magic potion to cure depression here."
Madam Pomfrey took Kell to a bed at the back of the room and opened the curtain.
Hagrid lay there with lifeless eyes, and Kyle called him several times but there was no response.
"Is it that serious?" Kyle frowned.
"No!" Madam Pomfrey shook her head. "Last night the headmaster sent a bottle of special potion containing phoenix tears. After he drank it, his injuries were almost healed."
"So what's Hagrid's situation now?"
"That's what I just told you. He's too depressed. This can't go on."
Madam Pomfrey sighed and said, "Then I'll leave this to you. I'll go prepare the joy potion... I hope it won't be needed."
After Madam Pomfrey left, Kyle tried calling Hagrid a few more times, but still to no avail.
Helplessly, he could only take a deep breath and said loudly:
"Wake up, Hagrid! Two dragons are fighting over a nest of eggs in the Forbidden Forest!"
"Hmm..." This time Hagrid finally moved.
He moved his eyes and said vaguely: "No...can't hit it, the dragon egg will break..."
"You don't have to worry at all. There are no dragons in Hogwarts...nor dragon eggs!"
Hagrid turned his head as if he had just seen Kyle.
"Kyle, why are you here?"
"Of course I heard you were injured, so I came to see you." Kyle handed him a big box of chocolates and said, "Eat some, it's good for you."
"I can not eat……"
Hagrid suddenly grabbed his hair and burst into tears, "Druggie...Lula...they all died before my eyes.
It’s all my fault for being so slow… If I could have walked faster and showed up earlier, they wouldn’t have died…”
Hagrid cried harder and harder, and in the end, Kyle could no longer hear what he was saying.
But he said nothing, nor did he comfort Hagrid. He just sat quietly beside him, opening one bag of chocolate frogs after another.
Only after the crying died down did Kyle speak: "I don't know how to comfort you, Hagrid, but at least you saved the unicorn."
"Selna..." Hagrid raised his head, and for the first time, an expression other than self-blame appeared on his face. He asked in surprise, "Is she okay?"
"If the Selna you're talking about is the unicorn... then she is indeed still alive."
Kyle handed Hagrid a handful of chocolate frogs and watched him stuff them into his mouth before continuing, "Newt Scamander came to Hogwarts yesterday, and he took the unicorn back for treatment.
I think by the end of this school year, it will be able to return to the Forbidden Forest."
"You really met Mr. Scamander?" Hagrid asked incredulously. "You're not lying to me?"
"Of course!" Kyle nodded affirmatively.
Newt told him these words in person when he sneaked into the Hufflepuff common room yesterday, so they were certainly true.
But they couldn't tell Hagrid what they said afterwards.
Kyle couldn't figure it out. Even if Cedric and the Weasley brothers didn't know that he had a box, how did Dumbledore know about it?
Could it be that Hermione had informed on him...
But that wasn't right. She couldn't see Dumbledore at all. Even if she wanted to complain, she should go to Professor McGonagall.
It's really nice to see Riddle!
"That's great. That's really great..."
Hagrid was crying again, only this time it was tears of joy.
"So, the Forbidden Forest cannot be without you."
Kyle stuffed the last of the chocolate frogs to Hagrid and said, "Don't forget that you didn't catch the dark wizard this time. What if he goes to the Forbidden Forest again while you're away?
Those unicorns are no match for the evil dark wizards."
"Yeah...you're right." Hagrid rubbed his face and sat up from the bed: "I'll go back now."
"Don't be in a hurry." Kyle stopped him and took out a small ball about the size of a fist and handed it to him.
"this is for you."
"Thanks, Kyle, but no thanks," Hagrid refused. "I've had enough chocolate just now, you can keep it for yourself."
"This isn't chocolate, it's a prop I made to call for help."
Kyle explained: "As long as you crush the shell, it will launch special fireworks into the sky. At that time, whether it is Headmaster Dumbledore or other professors, as long as they are still in Hogwarts, they will definitely see it."
Hagrid looked at the ball in his hand, shook his head and said, "I don't need this."
In fact, Hagrid always felt that he was stimulated by the death of the two centaurs, and because of his carelessness for a moment, he was ambushed and injured.
If he met that dark wizard again, he would definitely beat out all the food he had last night... no matter if it was from above or below...
And even if he really couldn't win, he could always use the magic wand hidden in the pink umbrella to shoot red sparks into the sky to call for help or alert others.
Of course, he still had the wand, so he couldn't let anyone else know.
"Here, Hagrid." Kyle stuffed the thing into his hand and said, "Don't be careless. Just think of it as for those magical animals... The sooner the dark wizard is caught, the sooner the Forbidden Forest can return to peace."
"That... okay." Hagrid thought about it and agreed. He asked, "Just crush it?"
"That's right." Kyle said, "You can hold it in your hand when you go to the Forbidden Forest. If you need it, you can just pinch it. It's much more convenient than emitting a red light for help."
"Um..." Hagrid turned his head away and said vaguely: "I, I don't have a wand..."

Chapter 205 Hermione's Intuition
'It's amazing'
Looking at Hagrid who was asking to be discharged from the hospital, Madam Pomfrey glanced at Kyle in surprise.
She had just wanted Kyle to help and persuade Hagrid to cheer up, but she hadn't expected him to go this far.
It only took time to prepare the medicine, but Hagrid, who had been crying and refusing to hear anyone before, now suddenly insisted on being discharged from the hospital!
This effect is too good...
"Poppy, is that okay?" Seeing that she didn't say anything, Hagrid said again, "The Forbidden Forest needs someone to guard it. I have to go back quickly."
"You can be discharged, but I need to check again," said Madam Pomfrey.
Her attitude was firm.
Although he knew that the potion sent by Dumbledore was very effective, and considering Hagrid's physical condition, it would be fine for him to be discharged from the hospital now, he still needed to be examined.
This is a necessary process and it's the same for everyone.
She put down the big wooden barrel in her hand and turned to prepare other things.
"You may not believe it, but I have always been afraid of her."
Hagrid whispered, "It was like this more than a decade ago. Whenever I came here, my legs started shaking and I couldn't control it at all."
"I understand..." Kyle said with a smile.
When he helped Newt feed potions to the magical creatures as a child, they were also afraid.
Even now, several years later, a crup will still turn around and run away with its tail between its legs when it sees him.
Madam Pomfrey's examination was not tedious and was completed quickly.
By the time they came out of the school hospital, it was almost noon.
Kyle invited Hagrid to have lunch with him in the Great Hall, but Hagrid declined.
"I have to go back and see Yaya." He said, "I haven't seen her for such a long time, Yaya must be worried sick."
After the two said goodbye in the courtyard, Kyle returned to the castle.
But this time after returning, the topic of the young wizards changed from various previous speculations to Quidditch.
Because of what happened yesterday, Ravenclaw and Slytherin need to compete again today.
What Kyle didn't expect was that when he went to visit Hagrid, the game had already ended.
"Damn it, didn't they say that the rematch would be in the afternoon?!" Kyle was numb. If he had known this would happen, he... Well, even if he had known, he would have gone to see Hagrid first.
"Kyle, have you seen Hagrid?"
At this moment, Harry suddenly ran over, followed by Hermione and Ron.
"We went to the cabin just now to look for him, but it was Professor Sprout who was there."
"How terrible..." Ron said with a bitter face: "She scolded us back."
"You must know what happened. Can you tell us?" Hermione pushed Ron away and looked at Kyle seriously.
"Why do you say that?" Kyle asked.
"Because I noticed you weren't at the Quidditch match."
Hermione held her head high and said confidently, "Harry told me that as a member of the team, it is impossible to miss any game.
And since you didn’t go to the game, it means you must have more important things to do.”
