Chapter 14: Hagrid’s Canine 101 (Part 1)
A few days had passed since Harry and Hermione were caught by the Headmaster at the third floor corridor. Both Hufflepuffs were currently sitting on a sheet set on top of the grass next to the black lake with Daphne and Tracey. The two Slytherins had found the spot a while ago and found that it was sufficiently hidden from view, so they decided to use it for their gathering.
The puffs had just told the other two about what they had found on the third floor corridor and enough to say, the pureblood princesses were so shocked words failed them. It took a while before their tongue caught up and Daphne wasn’t pulling any punches as she nearly yelled at the two,
“Are you two nuts?! I thought Gryffindors are supposed to be the “act first, think possibly never”! You two could have died!”
The two Hufflepuffs has the grace to look sheepish but Daphne was far from finish as she continued,
“Seriously, Harry… I thought our curfew breaking thing was a one time thing but you actually did it over and over?! You’re lucky that you hadn’t been caught by Mr. Filch, have you ever thought what would happen if he caught you?! My dad is part of Hogwarts board governors and I heard that Filch has been asking year after year for the punishment of old days to be put back into practice to discourage rule breaking!“
This time, Hermione visibly paled as she asked,
“How old is “old days” exactly?”
This time, Tracey shrugged before supplying the information,
“Not quite sure since most of his “requests” stopped at just that… but from hearsays, it seemed that 15th century style punishment was a favorite of his.”
She turned to Harry before continuing,
“That means whipping and the pillory at least.”
Blood drained from Harry’s face as he imagined being the recipient of such punishment, he involuntarily stuttered as he spoke,
“T-that is… impossible, right? I mean… didn’t corporal punishment been outlawed? I know I… heard about it a while ago.”
Daphne shrugs before speaking again,
“In the muggle side, maybe. I think wizarding world hasn’t see much of change for at least a century.”
Tracey nodded before continuing the explanation in her place,
“It doesn’t help either that wizarding world rarely, if any, cares about law made by muggle governments. As far as most of the wizards and witches are concerned, they are an entirely separate nation who just happens to live side by side with the muggles.”
Harry and Hermione listened to the pureblood princesses’ explanation with their mouth hanging open, obviously in shock. While they knew that going into the wizarding side would mean going into a “new world” but never in their wildest dream that they would be so different. It took the two several minutes before ‘puffs finally managed to return to the present as they both took a large gulp of air no doubt counting their luck.
Once she saw that the two ‘puffs had returned to the present, Tracey spoke to them,
“So… what did you find up there? I’m assuming those books you two were carrying are related to it?”
Harry and Hermione nodded before they filled the Slytherins in about their finding, from the mirror of erised, what its ability was and all the way to their near miss from the Cerberus finalizing with how they were found and pardoned by the headmaster with only some lost points. Daphne and Tracey listened to the two’s tale with widened eyes but didn’t interrupt until they reached the end at which Daphne practically shouted at them,
“A Cerberus?! What the hell was it doing IN our school?!”
Harry winced at the girl’s sheer volume before speaking again,
“I don’t know about that. From the readings we’re been doing so far, I only found that Cerberus as it was told in mythology as one of Herakles’ tasks and it was vague at best. I only knew that it was guardian to the entrance of Hades and that’s pretty much it.”
Hermione too nodded her head as she added her own knowledge,
“Same here, I also read somewhere that it was also capable of breathing flame out of their mouth and its tail is a deadly poisonous snake. How close was it to the tales, anyway?”
This time, it was Tracey who answered the two,
“Well, it being known as the gate guardian of Hades was the same as wizarding children’s tale at least though whether it is true or not was never proven, it wasn’t like the entrance to hell was ever found to begin with. The creature itself obviously existed but they were considered extremely rare and highly dangerous… and that’s about the limit of my knowledge.”
Daphne nodding along with Tracey mean that they wouldn’t find much more input from her. Unfortunately it also mean that they were stuck with a dead end short of asking someone outside of their group. Hermione sighed as she spoke their collective thought,
“So… what next? We’re poured through every single wizarding creature related book in the library short of the ones in the forbidden section. We won’t get Care of Magical creature until third year and it’s not like we can just go to the professor to ask about it just like that… OH!”
Apparently, Hermione wasn’t the only one who had came into realization as almost at the same time, all four first years spoke of the name of their most recent friend,
“””“HAGRID!!””””
The quartet looked at each other before smiling from ear to ear as Harry spoke,
“Well, it seemed like we all got the same idea, huh? Well, shall we go see him now?”
Hermione checked her watch before shaking her head,
“No can do, Harry. Our next class is Herbology, it will take all of our remaining time to get to the green house from here.”
Daphne waved her hand as she offered her idea to the two Hufflepuffs,
“You two can go. Tracey and I will go to Hagrid, our next class won’t start for another hour anyway. We’ll tell you about our finding later at History of Magic.”
Hermione seemed ready to object about chatting in class but Harry, seemingly able to read her thought, interrupted her,
“Come on, Hemione. Even you had trouble staying awake in that class, I’ve seen you nearly falling asleep right on your book.”
The brunette gave her best friend a look while Daphne and Tracey couldn’t help but giggled at the thought of their studious friend sleeping in class. Hermione finally let out a sigh before nodding at Daphne’s idea, it didn’t seem like they had any other choice anyway.
The four first years quickly tidied and packed their stuffs before splitting up, Harry and Hermione heading back to the castle to grab their book and herbology tools while Daphne and Tracey went toward Hagrid’s hut. Before they split up, Tracey left a parting word for the puffs,
“Say hello to Neville for us, okay? And try not to throw Weasley into the dragon dung compost.”
Harry couldn’t resist a smirk as he answered,
“You know we don’t make promises we can’t keep, Tracey… Ow!”
The boy yelped in pain as Hermione had reached out and pulled on his left ear as she walked next to him,
“Behave, Harry. The last thing we need is you getting in trouble with Professor Sprout.”
“Ow ow ow ow! It was a joke! A Joke! Stop it, Hermione! You’re going to tear it off!! ”
The Slytherins shook their heads with a matching wry smiles as they watch the so called boy-who-lived was dragged away by his best friend, by the ears to boot. Daphne tapped Tracey on the shoulder to catch her attention before she turned toward the direction of Hagrid’s hut,
“Well, we’ve got an hour until Charms. Let’s get a move on.”
Tracey nod her head as she followed along,
“Yeah, let’s… we need to learn as much as possible from him. Seriously, being friend of Harry Potter will never ever be boring, isn’t it?”
Daphne couldn’t help but smile as she replied,
“Did you expect it to?”
Tracey shook her head in response,
“Well… not really but I never expected to be THIS exciting.”
“Neither did I… but we made our choice the moment we chose to be his friend and I don’t think I will trade it for anything.”
Tracey nodded in response as the two girls ran to Hagrid’s hut. The clock is ticking and there is much to learn.
Review Responses:
ANON - Andrea: Thanks for the Input, I'll try to improve on it.
MrHawkeye: Thanks for the support
Veraq: I'll try to improve. I'll try to ease a bit on the point deductions but as for Snape, at this point of time, he is still acting to be a bad guy. He IS a good guy, but only a select few would truly know it so... yeah, I did purposely picture him to be a dick.
As for canon events, since this is a "reboot" story, I do try to stick somewhat to the canon for at least the first few years, add / change some details about it but I have to build on something familiar. Truly significant change from canon won't happen till at least a few more years in the story.
2CRsgt: Hmm... I'll see what I can do.
doubledamn: Fixed.
SavioDevil: I'll try my best.
Kevin_Thunder26: He is. Though currently he is still a provisional member due to him being a first year. According to school rule, first year isn't allowed their own broom so in extention, that stops them from joining the Quiddich Team. Harry is an exception but not by choice, his broom was a gift. Second year would be when he officially is in the roster.
