Hermione Returns from Hagrid's Cabin with Worrying News

PAGES: 441-442

After visiting Hagrid's cabin on Sunday morning, Hermione Granger returns to Gryffindor Tower, shivering from the cold and damp from the snow. Harry Potter and Ron Weasley, stuck in the common room with homework, are eager to hear what she discovered. Hermione shares that Hagrid was in the Forbidden Forest and seems unbothered by the dangers and threats from Dolores Umbridge. Despite her best efforts to advise Hagrid to follow Wilhelmina Grubbly-Plank's safer lessons, he remains determined to teach something new and refuses to reveal the source of his recent injuries.
