Hello. This is chapter 14...

I have nothing else to say.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dipper's POV

Still very shaken, the Care of Magical Creatures class followed at a walk. The other Slytherins were all shouting about Hagrid.

"They should sack him straight away!"Pansy Parkinson said in tears.

"It was Malfoy's fault!" A Gryffindor snapped. Crabbe and Goyle flexed their muscles threateningly.

"It was all Malfoy's fault. To be honest, I'm surprised that he's still kicking." I stated. "Even though hippogryffs are very prideful creatures, they are not hostile. That is unless someone insulted them."

"Which side are you on!?" Pansy snapped, still in tears.

"The hippogryffs. Duh... Can't you see that?" I responded. Parkinson death-glared me in return.

"Hey, I'm only stating the facts. Don't look at me like that. That is unless you want a death-glare battle. If so, then you are so on!" I said.

We all climbed the stone steps into the deserted entrance hall.

"I'm going to see if he's okay!" Pansy said as she ran up the marble staircase. The other Slytherins, still muttering about Hagrid, headed away in the direction of our dungeon common room. The Gryffindors went to their common room. I hope Hagrid is alright by now. He was so scared back then...

(Le time skip, brought to you by YandereChips in all of its glory)

I was among the first ones to reach the Great Hall at dinnertime, hoping to see Hagrid, but he wasn't there. The trio seemed to have the same idea. They were really worried about him. I could seriously feel their worry from all the way in the Slytherin table without reading their minds.Back at the Slytherin table, a large group including Crabbe and Goyle was huddled together, deep in conversation. They were probably saying bad things about Hagrid orcooking up their own version of how Malfoy had been injured.

After dinner, I decided to visit Hagrid & met the trio on the way there.

"So, visiting Hagrid?" Ron asked.

"Ye." I replied. "I wanted to see if he was OK after the Malfoy incident. Same thoughts?"

Yep. They have same thoughts.

"Yes." Hermione responded.

We continued walking until we reached his hut. When we reached Hagrid's hut, We knocked, and a voice growled: "C'min."

Hagrid was sitting in his shirtsleeves at his scrubbed wooden table; his boarhound had his head in Hagrid's lap. Hagrid had clearly been drinking a lot. But, I mean, who could blame him?

Draco Malfoy...

A-All the other Slytherins...

Oh yeah... There's them.

"'Spect it's a record." He said thickly, when he recognized them. "Don' reckon they've ever had a teacher who lasted on'y a day before."

"You haven't been fired, Hagrid!" Hermione gasped.

"Not yet." Hagrid said miserably, taking a huge gulp of whatever was in the tankard. "But's only a matter o' time, I'n't, after Malfoy..."

"How is he?" Ron said as we all sat down. "It wasn't serious, was it?"

"Madam Pomfrey fixed him best she could." Hagrid said dully. "But he's sayin' it's still agony...covered in bandages...moanin'..."

"He's faking it," Harry said at once. "Madam Pomfrey can mend anything. She regrew half my bones last year. Trust Malfoy to milk it for all it's worth."

"School gov'nors have bin told, o' course," said Hagrid miserably. "They reckon I started too big. Shoulda left Hippogryffs fer later...one flobberworms or summat...Jus' thought it'd make a good firs' lesson's all my fault..."

"Oh hell nah! Which idiot said hippogryffs were too big!? They clearly haven't seen a pack of gnomes joined together nor a gremgoblin!" I exclamed angrily.

"It's all Malfoy's fault, Hagrid!" Hermione said earnestly.

"We're witnesses." Harry said. "You said Hippogriffs attack if you insult them. It's Malfoy's problem that he wasn't listening. We'll tell Dumbledore what really happened."

"Yeah, don't worry, Hagrid, we'll back you up." Ron said.

"No way in hell I would let they fire you!" I said.

Tears leaked out of the crinkled corners of Hagrid's black eyes. He grabbed both Harry and Ron and pulled them into a probably bone-crushing hug. Should I be worried for them? That looks like it hurts. A lot.

"I think you've had enough to drink, Hagrid." Hermione said firmly. She took the tankard from the table and went outside to empty it.

"Ah, maybe she's right." Hagrid said, letting go of Harry and Ron, who both staggered away, rubbing their ribs. Yep. It hurts. A lot. Anyway, Hagrid heaved himself out of his chair and followed Hermione unsteadily outside. We heard a loud splash.

"What's he done?" Harry said nervously as Hermione came back in with the empty tankard.

"I only heard a splash of water and not the sound of something being squash to death so I assume it's nothing to serious." I said.

S-Stuck his head in the water barrel.

Ooh... Sounds like fun.

"He stuck his head in the water barrel." Hermione said, putting the tankard away.

Hagrid came back, his long hair and beard sopping wet, wiping the water out of his eyes.

"That's better." he said, shaking his head like a dog and drenching us all. "Listen, it was good of yeh ter come an' see me, I really..."

Hagrid stopped dead, staring at Harry as though he'd only just realized he was there.

"WHAT D'YEH THINK YOU'RE DOIN', EH?" He roared, so suddenly that the trio jumped a foot in the air and I was a bit startled, simply because I got used to Mabel's sudden outbursts & this isn't that much different. "YEH'RE NOT TO GO WANDERIN' AROUND AFTER DARK, HARRY! AN, YOU THREE! LETTIN' HIM!"

"I wasn't in the same house so..." I said.

Ignoring me, Hagrid strode over to Harry, grabbed his arm, and pulled him to the door.

"C'mon!" Hagrid said angrily. "I'm takin' yer all back up ter school an' don' let me catch yeh walkin' down ter see me after dark again. I'm not worth that!" 

We followed after.

"Does this have anything to do with that (capitalized) Black guy that you three were talking about like I wasn't even sitting with you guys on the train?... Oh, who am I kidding. Of course it does."

"Yes." Hermione said. "Remember that fugitive who escape prison in early summer?"

"Oh, Sirius Black. Yeah... I'm guessing he escape from the magical Azkaban, didn't he?"

"Yeah." Ron responded. "But why do you know about Azkaban?"

"Because, unlike you, he reads." Hermione responded for me.

"Exactly." I confirmed.

"Well, anyway, Black is after Harry. People are saying it's because Harry defeated You-know-who." Hermione explained.

"Who? Death Flight?" I asked.

"Death... Flight?" Ron asked, uncertain.

"When you split 'Voldemort' into 'Vol de mort' & translate it from French to English, it literally means 'Death Flight' or 'Flight of Death'." I explained.

Didn't think his name is that ridiculous, eh?

Wh-Who are you talking to?

The readers, who else?

Oh right... Your job was to break the fourth wall...

"Anyway, are you sure about the fact that Sirius is coming after Harry? I mean, once you remove everything that's probably because of Azkaban, he doesn't look that bad." I said.

"Are you serious?" Hermione asked.

"I am being completely serious here!" I said, faking to be offended. "Oh, wait, no. I'm not Sirius. I'm Alcor."

Ron let out a small laugh as Hermione facepalmed.

"Oh yeah, what's with the pack of gnomes joined together and the gremgoblin?" Ron asked.

"You clearly haven't been to Gravity Falls, Oregon." I responded. "That place is full of magical & mythical creatures. If someone were to write a book tittled 'Fantastic Beast & Where to Find Them', Gravity Falls will appear in there more than Sev'ral Timez. I mean, several times."

"What?" Ron asked, confused.

"Nvm." I replied.

Hey! Chess_Cat! How dafuq did he say nvm!? And how dafuq did that turn into Nevermind when he said it!? And why dafuq are you (kinda) censoring me now!?

(A/N: It's faster that way.)

Well, I don't care! That is not how you English properly! And you call yourself the best at English in your class!?

(A/N: Ugh... Fine... *turns back 2 minutes on the clock on the wall*)

(Le time skip back)

"What?" Ron asked, confused.

"Nevermind." I replied.

(A/N: *annoyed* Better?)

Better.

Who are you talking to?

The author.

Okaaaayyy...
