Hagrid Tries to Downplay His Injuries

PAGES: 421-422

Inside Hagrid's hut, Hermione Granger is horrified by Hagrid's injuries, which include congealed blood, bruises, and cuts. Despite his obvious pain, Rubeus Hagrid insists that he is fine and dismisses Hermione's concern. He applies dragon meat to his face to ease the stinging, while dodging questions from the trio about what happened to him.
