"Professor Fox? Of course I know that. He tricked me into the Forbidden Forest last year, and we almost died in it."

Hagrid lifted the big teapot on the stove, poured himself a cup of hot tea, and said with emotion.

He pushed the large plate of rock cakes in front of Harry and the others, motioning them not to be restrained and to taste at will.

The three of them didn't want to eat rock crust pancakes, but because of Hagrid, they each took a piece and used it to grind their teeth.

"What happened in the school last year? Why didn't that Professor Fox continue to be a professor, and how did you all survive?"

Harry asked a series of questions, Ron and Hermione also looked at Hagrid expectantly, their attention was attracted by Hagrid's words.

There is nothing bad to say about this, especially since Hagrid was one of the parties involved. He drank hot tea in a cup and told the story of Professor Fox to the three of them.

"...in the end I was knocked out by the centaurs and passed out to the ground, and when I woke up Dumbledore was by my side, along with Fang. He told me what happened, Fox was dying, it was Lynn Going deep into the Forbidden Forest saved him. All the little wizards in Hogwarts misunderstood him. At that time, only Lynn believed that Fox was innocent. It was because of this that Dumbledore gave Slytherin added 100 points."

Harry and the others were fascinated, until Hagrid finished speaking.

After a long time, Ron suddenly asked angrily.

"Haven't those centaurs been punished? They're good and bad!"

Hagrid wanted to explain a few words to Centaurs, but he really didn't know what to say, so he had to say it.

"Dumbledore asked me to warn them that they could not expand their territory, and refused to help their broken arm."

Even Harry grumbled.

"This punishment is too light, a kind professor almost died because of them."

Hagrid could only helplessly say a few good words for the centaurs.

"Don't say that, the centaurs are actually victims too."

The only person present was Hermione who did not speak. She was still imagining how great Lynn, who was the only one who insisted on what she believed at that time, was in the mouth of Hagrid.

"So what was Lynn trying to tell us by telling us this story? We all thought Professor Snape was the one who wanted to kill Harry, but the truth is probably not what we thought it was," she said.

Ron was acting incredible, he yelled.

"It's different! We all saw it with our own eyes today. It's Snape. He's chanting a spell on Harry, and he's always looking for trouble with Harry."

"But Lynn also told me that Professor Snape was protecting Harry!"

"Protect Harry!" Ron's eyes widened, as if he heard his mother was going to buy him a new robe.

"Are you kidding me? Hermione, think about how Snape usually targets Harry. It's like a life-and-death enemy. If you don't hurt him, everyone is happy. You still think he's protecting him. Harry!"

Hermione responded without hesitation.

"I saw with my own eyes that Snape kept chanting the spell until Harry's broom had stabilized, and he was secretly relieved afterwards."

Harry couldn't believe what she said, because it was so bizarre.

"You said Snape was helping me, so who wanted to hurt me?" Harry asked.

"Yes...probably Professor Quirrell."

Even Hermione didn't seem very confident when she said that name, because Quirrell was so innocuous that no one would have thought he would do such a thing.

Harry and Ron almost burst out laughing at her words.

"Are you kidding us, Hermione? It's possible you said the murderer wasn't Snape, but Professor Quirrell, he definitely couldn't be the murderer."

Hermione looked annoyed, she thought Harry and Ron were just two little boys, not good at all.

Hagrid interjected in their conversation.

"Stop guessing, neither Snape nor Quirrell would have harmed the students at Hogwarts. Because they're professors at Hogwarts!"

"But why does he usually target me like that?" Harry asked, and this was the very question that puzzled him. He asked himself that he had never offended Snape, but he had repeatedly made things difficult for him.

Hagrid didn't want to tell Harry about the past, after all, it was a sad past for Snape, and Harry's father's role in it wasn't a good guy.

"No matter how he usually targets you, he won't hurt your Harry. I think Hermione is right. He might be protecting you today."

Hermione's eyes lit up, feeling that she had gained an ally.

"Hagrid, you also think the murderer is Professor Quirrell!"

Hagrid's head shook like a rattle.

"I didn't say that. The murderer may be someone else, but it will never be a professor at Hogwarts."

"But Snape wants to get into the trapdoor guarded by the big three-headed dog! That's true!" Ron brought the topic back to their original intention of finding Hagrid.

Because of who the murderer is, they can't convince anyone at all.

"How did you know about Lou Wei!" Hagrid was very panicked.

"That dog's name is Lou Williams!" Harry cried.

"Yes, I sold that from a Greek wizard whom Dumbledore lent to guard—"

"Guard what?" Hermione asked expectantly.

It was only then that Hagrid realized that the three little guys were lying to himself, he said rudely.

"It's none of your business! Don't ask, is this a secret?"

"But Snape is ready to steal it! Last time on Halloween, he must have released the troll! Just to attract the attention of most people in the castle, he was caught by the big monster named Lou Wei. The dog was bitten and Harry saw Lynn drugging him in Snape's office yesterday!"

Ron went on to present evidence in an attempt to convince Hagrid that Snape was having bad intentions.

But Hagrid was unusually stubborn.

"I said it! You are all wrong, Snape is a professor at Hogwarts, he would not do such a thing, whether it is to kill Harry or steal that thing, it is not what you think You are now meddling in something that has nothing to do with you, it is very dangerous! Forget the big dog, forget what it is guarding, this is between Professor Dumbledore and Nicole Lemay..."

He stopped speaking suddenly, and Hagrid slapped his mouth angrily.

"Aha! There's a guy named Nick Lemay involved!"

Harry and the others were like discovering a new world.
