HP: For a better world

"Do you think he'll be okay?" Hermione said worriedly.

"Of course he's fine, Hagrid checked him out," said Harry. "Winster just fainted. Isn't that what Madam Pomfrey said?"

They had quietly avoided the Slytherins surrounding the hospital wing to visit the awakened Winster, who was forced to stay for observation by Madam Pomfrey with a wry smile.

("You must stay here today!... You were sent to the hospital wing not long after you recovered... The most mischievous students I have ever seen don't gather here so frequently. Don't come here again and again! Also, no more than five people are allowed to visit!" Madam Pomfrey angrily drove them out, leaving only Loial and Jenny who went to visit Winston)

Harry and his friends who were kicked out had to rush to the auditorium to have lunch.

A group of Slytherins gathered at the dining table, whispering. "...Parkinson and the others were just scolding Hagrid over there, and I heard them talking about Winston getting injured and fainting...Are they going to expel Hagrid?" Hermione picked up the fallen schedule distractedly and stuffed it into her bag, and the Muggle Studies textbook in the bag accidentally got some bread crumbs on it.

"It's too bad that this happened in Hagrid's first class..." Ron looked worried, "Malfoy looked mad today, he will definitely tell his father..."

"Oh no, no one was hurt, was they?" said Harry.

("Draco luckily escaped the bloodthirsty claws of the ferocious beast. He was terrified - how could the school allow a half-giant to teach!" Pansy was complaining loudly to her friends about Hagrid almost hurting Malfoy)

Ron turned around and said, "...Winster saved Malfoy today... maybe we can ask him to persuade Malfoy not to sue Hagrid."

"But Winston almost got hurt - we can't ask him to just forgive Hagrid...that's not right." Hermione said with her eyebrows twisted.

Harry remained silent.

No one had an appetite, so they just watched the steak and kidney pudding on the table being divided up.

After dinner, they went upstairs to the crowded Gryffindor Common Room to finish the homework assigned by Professor McGonagall, but Harry and Ron were too restless to sit down.

"There's a light in Hagrid's window," said Hermione suddenly, looking out of the tower window.

"Ron and I can go over and take a look, Harry..." Hermione said, glancing at Harry.

Harry said immediately, "We can go through the grounds. Sirius Black can't get past the Dementors there, can he?"

So they packed up and headed to Hagrid's hut together.

As they approached the cabin, they saw the hound Yaya standing at the door, flapping its tail on the ground boredly. It seemed that there was someone inside.

Hermione went over and knocked on the door. A somewhat nervous voice called out, "Who? Who's outside?"

"Oh, Hermione, come in," said Hagrid, with a noticeable pause in his voice.

Hermione, Ron and Harry walked in.

Winster greeted them awkwardly: "...Hi? Good evening, everyone," he said.

Hermione gradually frowned: "Why are you here? Winster, weren't you in the hospital wing just now?"

"I sneaked out... to apologize to Hagrid - I told you all that, didn't I?" Winston said stiffly, trying not to look guilty.

Hermione smelled something wrong and narrowed her eyes dangerously: "I didn't know you had to sneak out of the Hospital Wing to apologize - what did you talk about, Hagrid?" She noticed with her sharp eyes that Hagrid seemed to be doing something behind their backs.

Hagrid turned around, holding a large bucket of wine glasses full of wine in his hand, "I'm making room for you... Hermione, why are you here?" Hagrid was standing next to Winster, and it seemed that there was really no place for Winster to sit except where he was sitting.

"We were worried that you'd be expelled, Hagrid," said Harry.

"Not yet," Hagrid stammered, and subconsciously took a sip of the contents of the big glass to relieve his tension, "Winster came to talk to me about this..."

"Yeah, yeah," Winston nodded frantically, "I told Hagrid not to worry too much, and I told Malfoy I wouldn't pursue it."

"Oh, that's great... Thank you, Winster." Hermione's voice softened suddenly, and she seemed to have forgotten that Winster had sneaked out of the medical wing.

"It's just that I can't stop Malfoy from using Buckbeak's matter to trouble Hagrid." Winston breathed a sigh of relief and added.

Hagrid took another sip of his drink.

"So, there's still a chance that Hagrid will be expelled?" asked Ron.

"I'm afraid so," whispered Hagrid. "The Trustees must have known about it, too. They thought I was making too much of a show at first. Should have saved the Hippogriff for later..."

"Malfoy is right... I should at least have provided you with protection... I did such a bad job... Winston was willing to come and comfort me..."

Winster felt something was wrong. He was afraid that Hagrid would blurt out his consolation, so he had to change the subject quickly: "Harry? Why are you here too——"

"Me? Why can't I go to—"

Hagrid suddenly jumped up, as if he had just realized that Harry shouldn't be here. "No running around after dark, Harry! And you two!" he yelled, grabbing Harry and Ron and pushing Hermione out.

Winster quickly followed him out.

"I took you back to school. It was too dangerous. Sorry, Winster, I didn't notice it was getting dark—"

"It's okay, Hagrid." Winster interrupted.

"--Don't come out to see me at night again, I'm not worth it!" Hagrid said to Harry and the others, and sent them all back to school with a tense face. The four of them didn't dare to speak along the way. Harry and the others were frightened by Hagrid's anger, and Winster was afraid that Hermione would notice that he used the time turner in addition to studying - Hermione and he swore an oath in front of Professor McGonagall.

A few hours ago

Winster walked across the wet lawn to the cabin.

The Hound Fang seemed to be away, the wooden door was tightly closed, and the sky was a little dark. Winster knocked on the door.

"Who!" A rough roar came from the room.

Winster shouted, "I'm here to apologize, Hagrid. Can you let me in?"

no answer.

Winster sensed the hesitation in the cabin, so he said, "Professor? Can you let me in, please."

The wooden door opened a crack, and Hagrid's beard poked out from inside: "...Are you here to accuse me?"

"No, I'm here to apologize - can you let me in and sit down? My back still hurts a little, Professor." Winster softened his voice a little and spoke to the other side of the door.

Hagrid suddenly felt guilty and finally opened the door: "Sorry... come in and sit down." He shook his huge body and turned on the light.

Winster looked up and saw Hagrid's beard was so wet that he couldn't see his eyes clearly. There was a pewter tankard as big as a bucket on the table. There was nothing to sit next to him, so Winster had to sit on a box next to him.

Hagrid picked up a handkerchief and blew his nose vigorously, as if he wanted to maintain a little dignity as a professor in front of Winston, but as soon as he opened his mouth, his muffled voice gave him away: "What do you want from me?"

"Yes, I'm here to apologize," Winston repeated - Hagrid sat down in front of the barrel, where there seemed to be a completely hidden chair - Hagrid squeezed uneasily into the armchair, which made an ominous creaking sound.

"What do you have to apologize for?" he whispered, twisting his fingers nervously, "...I almost got you hurt."

"--for killing your rooster last year." Winster interrupted Hagrid's violent sobbing. He probably thought Winster was here to blame him because he mentioned what happened in class.

"You were possessed by an evil magical item - Professor Dumbledore told me... it wasn't your fault," said Hagrid. "It was nothing, just a few roosters."

But Winster said: "That was also my fault -" He hesitated, "Uh... I actually wanted to say... I don't intend to cause trouble for you - I have already told Malfoy that he will not come to you because of the hippogriff that almost hurt me, but I can't stop him from being angry about Buckbeak almost hurting him." Winster said.

"-Anyway, I hope you can accept my apology for what I did last year." Winster lowered his head and said sincerely.

Hagrid cried loudly in sadness: "Oh no, you should blame me... after all, you almost got hurt." He blew his nose violently: "Madame Pomfrey reprimanded me very severely when she knew about this. Malfoy was right. It was me who did not prepare protection for you... maybe I am really not suitable to be a good professor."

"But that was because I didn't complete the bowing movement and scared them." Winston said, "It's not your fault - Malfoy's mouth is foul."

"And... I also want to fly with that black-feathered hippogriff." Winster said, deliberately making his tone sound a little disappointed.

Hagrid's voice came out muffled from his hands covering his face: "It's called 'Night'."

Winster: "...Will 'Night' be mad at me for not bowing before? I was hoping she could take me flying around like Harry did."

Hagrid poked his eyes out from his palms, "Thank you for liking it, White, you really are a different Slytherin like Hermione said."

"Did she mention me to you?" Winster was a little surprised.

"Yes, it was at the end of last semester... She came to me and said, 'White definitely didn't mean it.' She also wanted to apologize to me on your behalf, and she was sure that you would come back later."

Winster's smile froze a little. If he hadn't been reminded, Winster actually had no intention of coming to apologize, because that wasn't the rooster he was strangling to death.

"Oh," Winster lowered his voice, "Actually, I had prepared an apology gift." He took out a few small glass bottles from his pocket, which were shining in a charming green color.

Winster glanced out the window to make sure that Harry and Hermione had not appeared yet. "Shrinking potion - I heard that you had an eight-eyed giant spider - yes, I heard it from Ron. You know he is afraid of spiders -" Winster cleared his throat and quickly changed the subject: "What I want to say is that you can put a few drops of this potion on it... I calculated the lifespan of the eight-eyed giant spider, it may be dying soon, maybe you would like to see it more often... like before, you can spend more time together." Winster said softly, he knew Hagrid would definitely be moved.

Winster was not lying. The giant eight-eyed spider named Aragog died when Harry was in sixth grade.

Hagrid was stunned. From his panicked eyes, it was clear that he was definitely tempted. It was a very tempting suggestion for a magical animal lover who didn't know the seriousness of the matter.

"……What are you doing?"

"I hope to gain your friendship, Hagrid." Winston gave him a very bright smile, and Hagrid saw that his blue eyes seemed to be shining. "You like this gift, don't you?"

————The time converter quietly turns————

I want to explain something, I can't let it go.

9-11: Winston and Hermione have Muggle Studies class

11 o'clock: Winston turned the time to go to the Care of Magical Creatures class. He heard that a Slytherin was injured and thought it was Malfoy. Hermione also heard the injury, but went to the hall to get food first.

11:12-9:11: Hermione heard Pansy discussing Winster's injury in the hall, and hurried to the hospital wing, where she saw Winster Luo and Jenny, Michael and Carl, and then Michael and Carl left. Hermione turned the time converter back to 12 o'clock and disappeared in the hospital wing, so between : and :, there was Hermione coming and going in Madam Pomfrey's consciousness, and there was someone who did not leave.

At 9:: Winston and Michael go to Care of Magical Creatures. Hermione runs into Harry and Ron on the road and goes to class together.

Before noticing Winster getting hurt, he first saw Malfoy's dangerous behavior and used the Sling Curse on the items on Malfoy's body (the text omitted what items, in fact, the Sling Curse cannot be used on people) (back to Winster) (Malfoy rotating JPG) (confusedly facing Winster)

Hermione didn't expect Winster to be attacked immediately afterwards.

(Because historically Winster didn't know that he was injured, so Hermione couldn't go back to the past to tell Winster who was injured to prevent things from happening)

Time closed loop.

Hermione, Harry and Ron watched Winston being kicked out together, heard the second half of Pansy's discussion (Malfoy) in the Great Hall, and then went to see Hagrid together.

In fact, Winster was only allowed to leave the hospital wing after the curfew. It was late so he turned the time converter and first told Malfoy that he would not pursue the matter. Then he planned to apologize to Hagrid and told Hagrid that he would not pursue the responsibility, but said that Malfoy could not stop it. He gave Hagrid a shrinking potion, saying that he knew about Aragog and guessed that his life was coming to an end. Hagrid could take it in to recuperate. This comforted Hagrid, and Hagrid was very moved and gained friendship.

Harry and the others came in, and Hagrid lied that Winster came to tell him that he would not pursue the matter. Hermione wondered how Winster escaped, and Winster used the excuse that he ran away secretly, which the original owner had done before, so it was not easy to be suspected, because he did not dare to let Hermione know that he was using the time turner in addition to studying.

The little snake's gift must be delivered to others' hearts (shock) (crossed out)

After Winster changed the subject and said he wanted to apologize, he was brewing a shrinking potion at that time, and he kept a few bottles as gifts - then he remembered the effect of the potion and the scarce venom after Aragog's death, and planned to see if he could get a funeral later to get himself some scarce potion materials, and by the way, please his teacher Snape. :-D (Bad little snake, for Winster, friendship and what he wants are not in conflict, and who doesn't want to ride a hippogriff to fly around? Anyway, Winster has confirmed that the armor spell cannot be broken and he won't get hurt, so he is sure to get along well (secretly excited Winster) (In fact, Draco is also very excited, a dragon lover, dragons are also dangerous, and he envies Potter, but he just can't control his mouth (peacock cocks his tail)
