Chapter 15: Hagrid’s Canine 101 (Part 2)
Harry and Hermione were sitting in one of the front row desks located in the edge of the class, practically the only ones there while the rest of the students were scattered all around the room. While the front row desk was not usually any student’s first choice, except for the Ravenclaws, but there was only one subject in Hogwarts where the first row would be expressly avoided if at all possible: History of Magic.
Simply put, Professor Binns’ class has been so notoriously boring that even the ‘Claws would rather spend the time doing anything else. Unfortunately, due to the size of the class, the room would be mostly filled anyway including most of the front rows.
Just as the hourglass on the professor’s table nearly emptied, the sound of the classroom door being opened caught the attention of everyone in the room. Nearly everyone was hoping that something would come up to change the schedule but alas, they only found a pair of late arriving Slytherin girls.
The Slytherin girls scanned the room as if looking for a place to seat before rolling their eyes as they saw the practically scarcely filled first row. One of them turned to the other as she spoke,
“See what you did, Tracey? Now we have to sit with Potter and Granger… all because you just couldn’t stop checking yourself on the mirror.”
Tracey rolled her eyes at her companion as she replied,
“Me? You’re the one who just kept complaining that all those waving of your wand in charms gave you calluses and spent all those time to find the ointment in your trunk, Daphne.”
Daphne clicked her tongue while muttering “Whatever” before descending the stair toward the front row, Tracey following behind her. The duo stopped right next to Harry and Hermione’s desk and spoke to them,
“Move over, would you? It’s bad enough that we had to share a desk, I don’t need your muggleborn stench rubbing off on me.”
Hermione couldn’t help but be impressed by the blonde’s acting but wasn’t any slouch herself as she replied,
“In case you can’t tell, Greengrass. We’re at the edge of the room, either you sit where it’s available or you can spend the entire class standing because I sure am not moving from here. Unlike you, I do give the professor his proper due attention.”
Tracey opened her mouth as if to throw a reply but before she managed to get two words out, the last sand in the hourglass dropped and the only ghost teacher of Hogwarts, Professor Cuthbert Binns, appeared by passing through the table. He gave the room a look over before his eyes stopped on the two still unseated Slytherins,
“Miss Growgrass and Miss Dallis, why haven’t you two be seated yet? Do hurry, if you please.”
The two muttered an apology toward the professor before they took their seat with Harry and Hermione. Once he saw that there wasn’t anything else to address in the classroom, the professor began his lesson which had been dubbed by the entire school population as “The most boring subject ever devised by wizardkind”.
Daphne and Tracey continued to feign disinterest toward Harry and Hermione for a whole 15 minutes before finally deciding that the rest of the room occupant had become too distracted by everything else to pay attention to them. For added precaution, they erected a wall of textbook covering their faces as they pretended to be falling asleep in class before Daphne spoke to Hermione in hushed tone,
“Sorry about that, Hermione. Had to make it convincing, I had no problem with muggleborn, I swear it.”
Tracey nodded her head along with Daphne, her eyes showing how apologetic she was about her attitude. Harry on couldn’t help but smile at the two as he replied,
“Don’t worry about it. I was impressed how you could be so… convincing. Had I not known better, I’d thought you were serious.”
Daphne smirked as she replied back,
“I’m a Slytherin, deception is in my nature.”
Even Hermione couldn’t fault that reasoning. Still, it was time that they get to their “main topic” as the brunette spoke,
“So… what did you two learned from Hagrid?”
Daphne and Tracey traded a look before answering in unison,
“Everything…”
Seeing the Hufflepuffs’ raised eyebrows, Tracey rolled her eyes as she elaborated,
“Right… The man was totally terrible at keeping secrets. He spilled everything with barely any push from either of us. I have to say that he probably has the most knowledge on beasts other than the Magical Creature professor….”
The ‘Puffs nodded in understanding, from their few encounters with the massive man already told them that much so there wasn’t much of a surprise to be had. Still, they need all the information they could get as Hermione asked them,
“So, tell us what you know, then.”
Tracey couldn’t help but roll her eyes at Hermione’s inquisitive nature but answered anyway,
“Right, so… for starter, the Cerberus belonged to Hagrid and believe it or not, its name is “Fluffy”…”
Hermione nearly dropped her quill as she stared at her friend with disbelieving eyes,
“You’re kidding… “Fluffy”?”
Daphne smirked as she continued where Tracey left off,
“Oh, it gets more interesting….”
FLASHBACK
Daphne and Tracey arrived to Hagrid's hut after just several minutes of walking. A quick peek through the window showed the huga man stirring something in his cauldron with his back toward the window. Tracey turned to Daphne as she spoke,
"Any chance of Hagrid trying to hatch another dangerous creature's egg he found?"
Daphne shook her head furiously as she replied,
"I REALLY wanted to say it's impossible but... Norberta comes to mind...."
Travey nodded once as she replied back,
"I'd rather not having to sneak a cockatrice egg out of the school this time... Think Hermione would let us off if we just made up something instead of asking Hagrid?"
"I got the feeling that if you tried, Hermione would have you sporting an rainbow colored afro or something...."
Both witches winced at the mental image of their meticulously cared for hair turned into an afro much like a circus clown, not a pretty image....
"I don't know about the two of ye but I find clowns were quite a creepy sort. Certainly won't associate 'em with ye ladies."
Suddenly, the Slytherins noticed that they were under the shadow of something... Or someone as a glance upward revealed that Hagrid was leaning out of his window and looking at them in amusement.
The two first years released a nervous laugh as they spoke to the man,
"Hello, Hagrid. Nice to see you."
The man smiled gently at them as he replied,
"Nice to see ye as well. Now, would ye rather be inside or staying crouched under me window? It might be nearing spring but I'm pretty sure it's still much warmer inside."
The girls exchanged looks and giggled as they turned back to Hagrid,
"We'll be glad to join you inside, Hagrid. Thank you very much."
Hagrid released a laugh as he gestured toward the door,
"I figured so. Come right in, I'll get the tea ready for ye."
Needing no more encouragement, Daphne and Tracey headed toward the door and turned the knob. The door swung open without resistance, allowing both girls to enter upon which they were greeted by Hagrid’s widely smiling face as he placed several cups on the table and a pot for their tea.
The man invited the girls to sat on the chairs around the table in the center of the room while he poured some sort of stew from the cauldron he had been stirring into the plate he had in his hand. Both Slytherins inwardly released a sigh as they saw that Hagrid really wasn’t trying to hatch another creature’s egg.
Hagrid soon joined them on the table with his stew before asking them,
“Oh, would you two like some too? Deer meat stew with pumpkin slices and carrot from me own field.”
The girls traded a brief look before Tracey turned back to Hagrid,
“Deer… stew? Where did you even find one?”
“The forest of course, where else would there be? Had to share some with the centaurs sometimes but hey, can’t complain about nature’s bounty. So, want some?”
The girls shook their heads almost in unison before answering,
“Thank you, Hagrid but we’ve just had lunch. Do enjoy yours though, please don’t mind us.”
Hagrid raised an eyebrow for a moment before shrugging as he dug into his grub. He took several spoons into his mouth before speaking again to the girls in between,
“So, what brought the two of ye to my place? No offense but the look like you’re having some questions for me.”
The girls traded a look before turning back to Hagrid as Tracey spoke,
"Well... We're researching about Cerberus. You see... My distant cousin in Greece recently sent me a mail bragging that he had saw one. That got me interested into the creature since we don't have em here in Britain... Right...?"
Hagrid brushed his beard, the huge man was visibly smiling as he spoke,
"Hmm... You two would be correct... Normally that is. But as it happened, we do have a single Cerberus here. Mighty beautiful creature it is, let me tell ya...."
Daphne opened her eyes wide as she made a shocked expression,
"Seriously, Hagrid? You've seen one? In the flesh?"
Hagrid's smile widened as he answered,
"Indeed I did, Daphne. In fact, you'll be able to find it right in this school. That huge room in the third floor corridor, you see."
Daphne raised her eyebrows as she continued,
"Really? Are you sure about that?"
Hagrid nodded as his smile grew even wider if that was possible,
"Of course, brought her here myself. Poor Fluffy wasn't thrilled about being left in that room, though, but Professor Dumbledore said it was necessary so I had to trick it and put it to sleep."
Tracey gave Hagrid a confused look as she asked,
"Professor Dumbledore asked you to put the Cerberus in the castle? Whatever for?"
Hagrid turned to Tracey as he answered this time,
"As a guard of course. Cerberuses rarely ever completely asleep, each of the heads took turn to sleep so they are basically always awake."
Daphne tilted her head as she asked him again,
"Wait... I thought you said that you had to put it to sleep? How?"
Hagrid smirked as he answered,
"Very good, Daphne. Indeed, you see... There's a little secret trick to do it. I'm assuming you're familiar with the tale of Hercules during your research? I believe it should mention that Cerberus was guardian of Hell?"
Both Slytherins nodded, both had known that it was basically the only tale where Cerberus was mentioned after all. Hagrid's smirk widened as he asked,
"Then... Do you know of another character in legend who has visited Hades?"
Both Slytherins began to try to remember any other tale of similar circumstances. While they are far from Greek Mythology expert, they knew at least some of the famous ones. Suddenly a name came to their mind, another famous tale of a bard who literally dived into hell for his love,
""Orpheus!!""
Hagrid smiled ear to ear as he spoke,
"Very good you two. Yes, Orpheus... Now... Have you ever wondered? If Cerberus were guardian of hell then why isn't it mentioned as one of Orpheus' obstacles?"
The girls eyes widened as they exchanged looks before turning back to Hagrid, Tracey's tone showed her obvious shock as she asked,
"You mean... You figured the answer to that, Hagrid?"
The giant man laughed out loud as she waved his hands,
"Me?! No no no no, of course not. I can barely read letters, there's no way I can figure that out by myself."
The man took several calming breath before giving them the answer they sought,
"Professor Dumbledore did, great man he is. He figured out that the reason Cerberus never been mentioned as an obstacle in the tale... Was because it never was one. According to the headmaster, Orpheus being a musician he was, probably played his lyre as he made his trip of see Hades... and when he reached the entrance, his music either put the Cerberus to sleep or somehow tamed it enough for him to enter unhindered."
Hagrid stood and reached for his cabinet before removing an item out of it and placed it on the table,
"The good professor lent me this little thing, I believe he called it a Music Box. All I had to do was wound this spring a few times, opened the box and wallah, Fluffy went straight to sleep. How ingenious was that?"
The girls exchanged looks, the fact that Hagrid had basically gave them the method to pass the monstrous creature just like that certainly wasn’t lost to either of them. Daphne turned back to Hagrid as she asked the question that they had wanted to know the most about,
“That’s… fascinating, Hagrid. You said that it, Fluffy that is, is guarding something in the castle? What could be so important that the headmaster would use such a rare creature to protect it?”
Suddenly, Hagrid’s demeanor changed as he answered the Slytherin in absolutely serious tone,
“It is best that you two doesn’t know about it. The matter of the stone was something exclusively for the knowledge of Professor Dumbledore and Nicholas Flamel. Wait… I shouldn’t have told you that!”
Hagrid’s eyes widened as he noticed his slip just a little too later. Those same eyes narrowed at the two Slytherin girls as he stood up to his full weight,
“My apologies, but I have to ask you two to leave. Forget whatever you learn here, okay?”
Shocked at the massive man’s change in attitude, the girls let themselves herded toward the door by the man’s massive arms. They were literally pushed out of the door before it was shut behind them, the sound of something sliding into place told them that Hagrid had locked it.
The girls looked at each other still too shocked about the information they had gotten before Daphne finally managed to get her voice working again,
“Nicholas Flamel…?”
Tracey swallowed audibly before replying,
“Could it be…? We need to tell Harry and Hermione ASAP.”
Flashback ends
Hermione tapped the table with her quill as she muttered,
“Nicholas Flamel… Somehow that name sounds familiar… where did I read that, I wonder…?”
Harry crossed his arms over his chest as he too felt that he had seen that name somewhere… before suddenly here remembered. He reached into his book bag, shifting the content around for a few minutes before he pulled an item out of it.
The item was something that he had gotten from one of the snacks he bought during their trip to school, including a snack called “Bertie Bott’s Every Flavor beans” which he had thrown away the entirety of the box after finding out that when the box said “Every flavor”, it literally mean “Every flavor”… AFTER he had the misfortune of tasting one that taste like earthworm. Still, he found that another candy also contained a trading card of sort and he had gotten one of Professor Dumbledore.
He turned the card upside down before sliding it to Hermione,
“It’s mentioned here, it said that Professor Dumbledore was apprentice of an alchemist named Nicholas Flamel. Didn’t mention much more about it though.”
Tracey nodded toward Harry before speaking again,
“What the card didn’t mention, Nicholas Flamel is not just any alchemist. He was THE alchemist, known to the one and only person who managed to create one of the most legendary item ever known, the Philosopher’s Stone.”
Review Responses:
Carolina: Thank you for the support
Murky: Thank you for the support. As for the answers: Luna will show up, can’t promise you more than that though. I’m keeping the other girl identity as secret for now you just have to wait and see. For now, it is largely just simple pervy fun… but it may change eventually as the story goes.
