Harry and Ron were delighted to hear Hagrid call Filch ‘that old git’. ‘An’ as fer that cat, Mrs Norris, I’d like ter introduce her to Fang some time. D’yeh know, every time I go up ter the school, she follows me everywhere? Can’t get rid of her – Filch puts her up to it.’ Harry told Hagrid about Snape’s lesson. Hagrid, like Ron, told Harry not to worry about it, that Snape liked hardly any of the students. ‘But he seemed to really hate me.’ ‘Rubbish!’ said Hagrid. ‘Why should he?’ Yet Harry couldn’t help thinking that Hagrid didn’t quite meet his eyes when he said that. ‘How’s yer brother Charlie?’ Hagrid asked Ron. ‘I liked him a lot – great with animals.’ Harry wondered if Hagrid had changed the subject on purpose. While Ron told Hagrid all about Charlie’s work with dragons, Harry picked up a piece of paper that was lying on the table under the tea cosy.
