Chapter 119: Hagrid

Edwin's eyes were wandering around the hospital wing as Snape was talking to Madam Pomfrey," Poisoned" Edwin thought to himself" but how and why?"

Professor Snape walk over to Edwin's bed with some potions in his had" you have been given one of the worse kind of poison" Snape said with a serious tone.

"There's an antidote right?" Edwin nervously asked

"There is, but the antidote is worse than the poison," Snape said giving Edwin a vial of green liquid that looks like moss juice." If you drink it the poison will be out of your body in a matter of minutes but if you choose not to, you'll have to wait for the poison to wear off"

"Wear off?" Edwin questioned "what do you mean off"

"The poison will wear off in a day or two"

"I thought you said it's one of the worse poison there is"

"Yes it has little to no effects on personal health at most it could be considered a prank on the same level with the Weasley sick pill" Snape stated leaving the antidote but he turned back" how did you know you were poisoned"

"You told me" Edwin stated taking a glance around the room" I just wanted to ask about that spell and- "

Snape didn't stick around to listen to what Edwin have to say and quickly left the room, Edwin quickly gulped down the antidote and within a minute his vision became a blur and the room begun to move," oh you're just about ready" Madam Pomfrey said giving Edwin a bucket.

"Why do I need the bucket- "Edwin could finish saying anything as he pushed his head into the bucket throwing up." Why did I take the…? Antidote"

"You had to or who knows how long you would have been sick for, "Madam said taping Edwin gently on his back" Rather nasty poison there"

"Huh, I thought Snape sai- "

"the poison causes the victim to get sick with each passing day and the more you wait the longer it takes to cure," Madam Pomfrey said "in a way it might have been a prank or someone just wanted to make you have a bad week"

Edwin didn't ask any more questions and tried to figure out who poisoned him, Edwin started to trace back his steps in his mind trying to see when he could have been given the poison but it was difficult; Edwin had been at Hogsmeade and ate from different places and Hogwarts was out of the question as Dippy wouldn't allow Edwin to be poisoned even if it's a prank.

On the train of thoughts Edwin fall asleep in the hospital wing, the next morning when he woke up it was already late for Rune class but he was still feeling upset from spending half of the night throwing up and didn't go to class but to his room for a change of clothes, bath, and a cat nap.

With his cat nap finish, Edwin was started to feel lazy and wanted to skip classes but he dragged himself out of bed and made his way out of Slytherin house, just outside of Slughorn office which was close to the Slytherin common room Hagrid could be seen ducking under the small door as he was struggling to leave to a trunk and some pillowcase filled with something.

Edwin never has seen Hagrid move that fasts as he left Slughorn's office taking giant size steps," Hagrid you need help" Edwin asked as Hagrid was struggling to hold onto the large pillowcase.

"Oh Edwin sure, Er wait don't ya have classes," Hagrid said as he places the large trunk down.

"I'm under the weather" Edwin stated as he tried to pick up the two pillowcases, the pillowcases weight quite a few pounds but Edwin was able to pick both of them up" where are we goin'"

"Ma Hut" Hagrid said once again grabbing the large trunk and cradle it in his arms as if it was the most precious object to him,

Halfway to the Hagrid hut Edwin's arms became numb and he had to use the levitating charm to help with the pillowcases; when Edwin offered to do the same on the chest Hagrid quickly refused to look as though he didn't trust Edwin.

Arriving at Hagrid hut Edwin opened the door and dropped the pillowcases down just by Hagrid chair, Hagrid house was different it was cleaner and organize and there were pictures now placed on the walls, some of the pictures were of the Order of the Phoenix members, Norberta and Madam Maxime.

"Hagrid what's in the trunk, "Edwin asked as Hagrid placed it down, Edwin couldn't help but notice on Hagrid right arm there was large scar coming straight down to his hands" what happened there"

"Err yer see jus a wee bit of miss understanding with uh Cerberus" Hagrid stated opening the trunk to reveal a large number of potions" Medicine for…. Some hippogriff yer see they can get themselves in a fit easy"

"Now I gotta go take a look at them" Hagrid stated pointing to one of the pillowcases, Edwin's hands were still tired and he used magic to send the pillowcase over and inside that was plants no doubt of the medical Variety.

Hagrid took off his robes to change into a tattered one, Edwin got to see the scar a bit more clearly and it was started from his shoulder coming down but Edwin notices that it wasn't the same scar for before but another that went across his chest.

"Don't wanna be messin' up ma new robes" Hagrid said putting on the tattered robes.

Edwin wanted to ask about the scar again but he knew that Hagrid would just lie," Hagrid I'm going back good luck with the hippogriff"

"See yer around" Hagrid stated as Edwin left and Hagrid with into his closet to get his broken wand umbellar and a crossbow.

"Fang" Hagrid called out and a bloodhound came into the hut.

Apart of Edwin wanted to spy on Hagrid but he decided against it and skipped his classes to do work on runes
