A Professor of Magic at Hogwarts Chapter 525: Hagrid’s experience

Felix stood at the gate of the castle, it was almost completely dark, looking down from this angle, he could see that the lights in Hagrid's cabin were lit. At this time, the sound of tapping footsteps and voices came from behind.

"I should have guessed it earlier, Neville said that his parents came back a week ago and took him to Diagon Alley to buy textbooks... I mean, since they went to the same place as Hagrid place, there's no reason Hagrid was so slow," said Harry.

"Because they performed different missions." Sirius explained, they appeared at the gate of the castle, "The Longbottoms repelled the Death Eaters who rushed to help, and they barely took revenge, and the matter ended They're back, and Hagrid... hi, Felix," he greeted.

Felix nodded towards Sirius, and was not surprised by the arrival of the three of Harry, "Given the relationship between you and Hagrid... It's good to meet up, otherwise the next time may be a few months later .”

"What's the matter with Hagrid?" Harry asked eagerly.

"He will stay in the Forbidden Forest for most of the time, today is an exception. He has to deal with his injuries." Felix replied briefly, "Let's go, go back early."

Five people walked down the marble steps, Harry was full of doubts, at this moment, Ron poked his ribs, "Look over there." Harry followed his gaze, The dim light of Hagrid's cabin cheered him up.

They walked across the large grounds to Hagrid's cabin. Before he got close, Yaya's barking sounded.

Sirius stood at the door and shouted: "Hagrid, here we come!"

There was a commotion in the room, and after a while, the door opened, and Hagrid stepped out, startling everyone. His face was dirty, and his head had turned into a strange shape, like a pumpkin that had been smashed and smashed: his left eye was swollen to a slit, and the corner of the eye was still bleeding. It's not that the nose is still bleeding, I guess no one can find the correct position of the nose; the exposed skin-hands and face are blue and purple, full of scars.

Hagrid closed the door carefully, using his inconvenient other hand, which had to make people suspect that his bones were broken.

"You, are you okay, Hagrid?" Hermione asked softly.

Hagrid struggled to open his eyes, and seemed to recognize Hermione's shape, he grinned, "Ah, it's nice to see you all, I originally planned to show up again in a while--I don't have much time now, And you can't see people like this." He pointed to his face, trying to smile, but the wound on his face was affected.

"I didn't really believe it when Dumbledore told me," Felix looked Hagrid up and down, "but it seems to be true...how did you and Madame Maxime go about the journey of giants?"

Hagrid was embarrassed for a while, and he waved the good arm, "It's not considered a success... Olim and I can only say that we have met the minimum expectations. The giant chose not to help each other. In fact, they There is no time to take care of us...they, they are split."

"Split?" Felix asked with some surprise.

"It's unbelievable, isn't it? There aren't many of them left, but they're still fighting..." Hagrid led them into the depths of the Forbidden Forest, telling his story along the way, "At the beginning of the holiday , Olim and I set off to lobby the giant."

"Madam Maxime?" Harry asked.

"Yeah, she is a strong person, she is not afraid of hardship, which is rare, you know she is an elegant, well-dressed lady, when Dumbledore told me that she would also join the team, I was a little worried ...It turns out that I was thinking too much, whether it was climbing rocks or sleeping in rock caves, she never complained once, and she always came up with all kinds of useful gadgets, she said you lent him?" Hagrid looked To Felix.

"If you're referring to space capsules, that's true. This kind of product is still disposable at present. If you want to hold other things, you must prepare it in advance." Felix said.

"That's it," said Hagrid, stepping on a dead branch. "We got there very quickly, without much accident, and after wandering around the mountains for a few days, we finally found the cave where the giant lived. .”

"You don't use magic?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, no." Hagrid muttered, "It's okay to use it on the road, but it can't be used near the giant tribe. Giants don't like magic, they hate wizards, and there are deeper reasons, Dumbledore I am worried that the mysterious man also sent an envoy, so we must be very careful... In short, we connected with the giant. According to the method provided by Dumbledore, we successfully sent the gift. The vigilance of the giants, this approach worked, and we stayed in the tribe longer and longer."

Hagrid suddenly laughed at this.

"That Gugo——is the leader of the giants. Although he is lazy and greedy, he unexpectedly likes to listen to stories. Olim and I took the opportunity to say more good things about Dumbledore. Others who know a few words of English The giants also came to listen, and the progress is gratifying."

The Forbidden Forest was getting darker and darker. Felix threw a milky white ball of light towards the distance, emitting bright and soft white light, illuminating a large area in the forest, and the silhouettes of different creatures could be vaguely seen in the darkness , Pairs of glowing eyes are frightening.

This is what the Forbidden Forest really looks like at night.

"We gave gifts three times, but an accident happened on the third time, and we saw Death Eaters."

"Death Eaters?" Ron exclaimed.

"As expected... there are two Death Eaters, a man and a woman," said Hagrid, "just like us, they were treated as guests by the giants, and the leader of the giants introduced each other to us foolishly." ..."

"Have you done it?" Sirius asked sensitively.

"Not at the time. Although the two sides hated each other to death, they reached a tacit understanding and did not fight in front of the giants, but—" Hagrid paused, "We came out of the giant tribe, and we had a private fight. The other side was no match, and ran away. They disappeared for a few days, I thought the two Death Eaters gave up, but later we found out when we dealt with other giants, they changed their tactics, always giving us a hand when we were not around. The leader of the giant gave a gift, so we went to the leader of the giant and confessed directly to him that we hoped that he would be on our side... Now that I think about it, I was a little anxious, after all, rushing is not a business... Then the Longbottoms appeared, and we Only then did I know that the Death Eaters sent reinforcements. One night, the giant tribe was in a mess, and the shouts were deafening, like thunder. The four of us decided to go out to observe the situation after discussing for a while, secretly, if the giants were having a campfire party, Let's go back to sleep."

There was a complex expression on his face.

"The one from the Death Eaters is a witch who is said to be Bellatrix, I didn't see it... She managed to persuade the number two figure in the giant tribe to instigate him to launch a rebellion at night and become the leader herself .Of course we couldn’t agree! So we joined the battle. By daybreak, a dozen of the giants died, most of them were cannibalistic, and one died on the Death Eater’s side. One of the original giant leaders was cut off. Arm, the power is not as good as before, only a dozen or so giants are willing to continue to follow him, half of them are his wives and children. The remaining more than 30 giants formed a new tribe, stronger and more brutal. The giants split In two groups, the original leader fled into the depths of the mountain, and the new leader chased after him... If the winner is not decided, they have no time to take care of other things...We are here."

Hagrid stopped suddenly.

There are dense forests around them, but below them is a clearing, which seems very unreasonable. The clearing is surrounded by messy branches, and several pine trees have been uprooted. They heard a rumbling sound. In the middle of the open space, there was a huge round thing. With the help of the light from the lighting technique, everyone took a few steps closer.

"Hiss~" Ron took two steps back, "Is that... a person?"

What was mistaken for mounds or stones was breathing rhythmically. Harry felt as if he was about to suffocate, when the smooth gray thing suddenly moved and made a loud grunt - he thought it was a stone, but now it didn't, it looked like a big-headed monster magnified countless times.

"My brother, oh—my half-brother." Hagrid said hoarsely, "I should have never told you that I am a half-blood giant, and my mother left my father after giving birth to me. , found another giant, and she gave birth to Glop there.”

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other uneasily. They had long known that Hagrid was a half-giant. It was at the fourth grade dance, Harry and Ron overheard the conversation between Hagrid and Mrs. Maxime. In Ron's words, Hagrid was a complete fool who was dazzled by love. Whispering, the result is not much different from shouting in their ears.

"Hagrid, is he hurt?" Felix asked.

It was only then that a few people noticed that the rough 'rock texture' was actually a series of wounds, and under the soft white light, it could be seen that the wounds had scabbed over.

"That's right, I, alas, the first day I placed him in the Forbidden Forest, he made a lot of noise, which attracted Lu Wei, and they fought hard." Hagrid explained explain. Several people present - Sirius, Harry, Ron and Hermione's eyelids twitched violently, and Felix was also a little speechless. Lu Wei is not a human being, but a huge three-headed dog, a kind of quite Dangerous magical animals.

"...I had to ask Dumbledore for help," said Hagrid, wiping away tears, "Dumbledore is a good man, he helped me find medicine for my wound, I mean, the three-headed dog's Teeth are not easy to deal with, Lu Wei bit too deeply..."

"My God," said Hermione vaguely.

"Yeah," Hagrid thought Hermione was echoing him: "Glop can actually heal by himself, but it's too slow, I can't watch him bloody. I'm going to teach him some etiquette After that, I will bring him to meet people, I thought of you first, this will be a good start..."

"Hagrid, what are your plans for his future?" Felix asked softly.

"I, uh, I didn't think about it, actually... it would be nice to let him stay in the Forbidden Forest, there is no shortage of food here, and there are not many creatures that can harm him," Hagrid stammered, "I think He can be my second-in-command. Of course—after his personality improves." He hurriedly added, because the three little wizards present seemed to be fainting.

Hagrid couldn't imagine the scene Hagrid described in a tender tone. He originally thought that Hagrid, who was twice the height of a normal person, could be regarded as a giant. Anyone who saw him for the first time would be shocked by Hagrid. The huge size shocks, such as the Dursleys. Only after a few more contacts will he realize that Hagrid is a very friendly person, but now, when he thinks that when Hagrid patrols the Forbidden Forest in the future, he will be followed by a purebred giant who is much taller than him, and his scalp is numb. .

"Hagrid, how tall is it - er, is he?" he couldn't help asking.

"About sixteen feet," Hagrid estimated.

"My God, my God," said Hermione incoherently.

"So, uh, I'll wake him up, and then—you know, he's got a much better temper than before, and he only punched me twice today—while I was trying to convince him to stay here." Hagrid Saying expectantly, pick up a twig from the ground.

"Wh-no," Hermione jumped up, seemingly frightened, "well, I mean, I don't understand... wouldn't he like to be here?"

Hagrid stopped and said with a gloomy expression, "Yeah, he always wanted to go back, and I forced him out."

"But why - Madame Maxime also agreed?" Hermione asked sharply.

"She—well, she could understand what I did at first," Hagrid said anxiously, "You haven't seen how Glop was bullied, if he is left alone, he will definitely be beaten by other giants." Die, he, he is too short."

"Short?" said Hermione, "Short?"

"In the crowd of giants, yeah," said Hagrid, "Olim would help me subdue Grapp when he went berserk, but it didn't take long for her to get a little bored, I have to admit, Glop's brain is not very good, her temper is still grumpy, and she is not easy to get along with... After helping me transport Glop to the other side of the strait, she hurriedly said goodbye and left."

"But things are getting better," Hagrid tried to strengthen their confidence, waving a long branch in front of him: "We have been back for three days, and he didn't lose his temper all day today. I think it's a good thing." It's a sign that he's getting used to life here. I can try something more intimate like giving him a hug or something. You know, making him feel like he's valued and liked so he doesn't keep thinking about going back Already."

Hagrid poked the sleeping giant hard with a branch, and the giant roared, and its huge body stretched out ~IndoMTL.com~ A broad hand the size of a parasol was propped on the ground, and it was attached to the arm above the suspected head. The thing moved and he woke up.

Felix raised his head, watching the curled giant get up from the ground. Legend has it that giants can fight fire dragons evenly, so he is very curious about this kind of creature. Gropp has gray-white skin, a surprisingly large face, and features that seem to be chiseled out of a round stone. The only thing that reminds Felix of similar associations is the face of Mad-Eye Moody.

Glop rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then, without warning, stood up with surprising speed and agility. Everyone could see more clearly. They looked at his short and thick nose, crooked mouth, yellow teeth, and cloudy brown-green eyes, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.

Harry used to think that Room 7 was omnipotent, but now he finally knew what was missing. There were no giants in it. The textbooks in the history of magic described giants as completely unlike humans, but Harry always believed that these descriptions Some exaggeration, because there are more real examples around him.

Hagrid is a half-giant, but he looks like an oversized human, but this thing in front of him-this pure-bred giant, just like the book said, looks like a deformed humanoid monster.

Felix's gaze fell on the giant's ankle, where a rope was tied, and the other end of the rope was connected to a thick tree in the distance.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione kept stepping back, not feeling much comfort from the wand in their hands, and the thing in front of them-well, it was Hagrid's half-brother, Glo Pu seemed to be able to crush them with one finger.

"Roar——"

Glop let out a deafening growl and rattled the other end of the rope, and except for the giant in front of him, the Forbidden Forest fell into dead silence.
