The atmosphere fell silent as Hagrid spoke of his mother, and Evan and Sirius exchanged uneasy glances. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Hagrid, are you going to go to her?" Evan hesitated for a moment before continuing to ask, "This is a good opportunity to meet your mother, you shouldn't have seen her in a long time, right?"

"I don't want to see her, it has nothing to do with our mission. Hagrid muttered, shrugging her broad shoulders, "I don't remember her much, she wasn't a good mother, she abandoned me and my father when I was younger. ”

"But you're related to her after all......"

"So what, she's a giant, and I've sworn I won't see her again!" Hagrid said, raising his voice.

"You're lying, Rubeus!" Madame Maxim said as she walked in with a tea-tray and looked at Hagrid earnestly, "you really want to see your mother, and we can see that you care about her." ”

"But she doesn't care about me, she doesn't care about my father, she probably forgot about us a long time ago!" Hagrid said sadly, "Orim, they are different from your parents, they didn't love each other freely in the first place, my father was not willing to be with her in the first place, she forced him, and there was only hatred between them......"

Hagrid's voice grew lower, and his black eyes were clouded with a fog.

"Yes, he may have liked her and wanted to go out to find her, but he didn't know where the giants had gone. Before my dad died, he kept reading her name. Hagrid said, tears welling up in his eyes, "He was obsessed with her until he died." ”

"If that is the case, you should go to her!" said Madame Maxime, who came over and handed Sirius a tea-tray full of drinks, and whispered, "give him to me, and remember to call us when the carriage arrives in Dijon, where we will stay tonight." ”

With that, she helped Hagrid back into her room, ready to comfort him......

Evan and Sirius continued their discussion of the giant for a while, and the conversation shifted to Ravenclaw's crown and maelstrom.

Time had passed, the sky had darkened, and the carriage had reached the skies over Dijon.

Dijon is a small city located in the east of France that has been the capital of the Burgundy region since the Middle Ages.

From a Muggle perspective, this historic town has a lot of well-preserved old buildings that are of high artistic value.

On top of that, it also produces some of the best wines in the world.

In the wizarding world, this small city is also extremely prestigious.

Also known as the City of Owls, it has a special magical building, the Owl Fortress, which is a huge military fortress located near the river valley on the outer side of the city.

The fort historically belonged to the Duke of Burgundy and is said to be one of his main palaces.

It is famous because of the countless owl ghosts that inhabit it.

No one knows what the dark wizards who once lived there did, and why there are so many owl ghosts.

The International Confederation of Wizards has probed the massive black fortress on more than one occasion, but found nothing.

The feeling of wizards walking into the castle and seeing countless owl ghosts watching you inside the castle is absolutely driving people crazy.

Evan had previously read about the Owl Fortress in the book, which was described as an evil and colorless place, a huge castle made entirely of black granite and carved with all sorts of strange owl statues.

The structure of the castle is very strange, there are no windows, and the only way to enter is through the sturdy gate below.

And the most bizarre thing is the ubiquitous owl ghosts in the castle, which stand quietly all over the castle.

It is well known that it is only after death that it is possible for shamans to become ghosts, preserving their memories and habits.

Very few animals turn into ghosts, especially when so many people appear in one place at once, it's not normal to think about it.

The final findings of the International Confederation of Wizards revealed that the spirits of these owls were not ghosts in the pure sense of the word, but were imprisoned here by a special type of black magic, unable to leave the castle, and most wizards believed that this strange black magic was witchcraft from Africa or a curse.

And this evil black magic may not have been completed, and it went wrong during the casting process, causing the souls of the thousands of owls to remain in the castle forever......

In any case, this huge fortress was abandoned outside the city, and no one would approach or enter it.

Like Hogsmeade's screaming shacks, the local wizards are terrified of the owl fortress.

It had a Muggle banishment spell cast on its outside, and no Muggle would approach the surrounding area.

If there was no mission for a simple trip, Aven would have wanted to take a look inside the fortress and study why so many owl ghosts suddenly appeared, but not now, he had better not take the initiative to cause trouble.

The carriage descended slowly, and Hagrid and Madame Maxim came out of the room, who looked much better now.

Hagrid still had a picture in his hand, the one he had shown to Evan and them.

The picture shows a short wizard with the same dark eyes as Hagrid's, narrowed into a slit, and he sits on Hagrid's shoulder and smiles merrily. Judging by the apple tree next to him, Hagrid was seven or eight feet tall, but his face was young, full, smooth, beardless, and looked to be eleven years old at most.

The short wizard in the photo is Hagrid's father, and this is the only photo he left.

Hagrid's father was a breeder during his lifetime, working for the Department for the Protection of Magical Creatures at the Ministry of Magic, where he was primarily responsible for caring for dangerous magical creatures.

The main reason Hagrid liked those monsters was probably inherited from his father.

"How are you, Hagrid?" asked Aven.

"I'm fine!" Hagrid waved his hand, a little embarrassed, "I just thought of my mom, a little too excited." Speaking of which, Orim is really amazing, I never thought that she would be so understanding, she convinced me that I have never seen a woman as good as her......"

The carriage fell to the ground, and under the influence of magic, the huge rune horse had been transformed into a normal horse.

The customs of the past were still maintained in the small city of Dijon, and the Muggles were not too surprised by the sudden appearance of the carriage.

More than ten minutes later, under the control of Madame Maxim, they stopped in front of a tavern called "Burgundian Style".

It was a wizard's tavern like the Leaky Cauldron, and she'd apparently been here before.
