Chapter 373: Giant-style education plan
The next morning, Maca returned to Hogwarts just before the third class began.
He didn't show any unusual signs of what happened last night, and not only that, but he even went to lecture his classmates as usual.
Dumbledore's death had a big impact on the young wizards, but with the calmness shown by the professors, everyone gradually accepted this sad fact.
Or rather, most of the students are actually distracted by something.
Because after the news of Dumbledore's death reached the Ministry of Magic as soon as it became available, Umbridge was temporarily recalled.
However, because this is only a "temporary" recall, she may return to Hogwarts in the future, causing new troubles for everyone.
It's just that the depressing Umbridge is temporarily gone, which is enough to make the little wizards breathe a sigh of relief.
“…… Okay, that's all for this lesson, and everyone will remember to hand in a copy of the interpretation notes of the Runi character group during the class tomorrow, and let's get out of class! ”
On the podium, Maca waved her hand, then picked up her textbook and turned to walk to the door.
"Professor McLean, what about the length of the notes?"
Marca, who was stopped by Hermione, turned around and spread her hands casually.
"There's no limit to the length," he said, "of course, I'll write a note of interpretation for each combination, and I'm not going to take it—use more snacks!" ”
Probably because Maka's two "shows" of magic literature were too shocking, even though Maka, an incompetent teacher, had missed a few times, the students' enthusiasm for this subject only increased.
Of course, the readability of Maca's textbooks may be one of the reasons. It was originally refurbished from his own research notes, and it was actually more suitable for self-study than for classroom textbook.
After a final word of advice to her classmates, Maca walked out of the classroom with unhurried steps. But before he could take a few steps in the hallway, Hermione in the classroom had already packed up her things and chased after her.
"Maka, we have something to tell you......" she came to Maka's side and whispered, "You know, since neither Harry nor Ron took ancient magic classes, so I'll tell you-"
"Huh?" Maca turned her head and stopped, "What's the matter?" ”
"We'll see you at Hagrid after the last class in the afternoon!"
Hermione said, trying to rush to the next class, but probably felt that it was a little inappropriate for her to talk to herself, so she stopped again.
“…… Uh, what do you think? ”
"Oh, of course...... No problem. Maka nodded, "Speaking of which, I've only met Hagrid once since he came back, and I haven't spoken properly...... Just enough to talk about it. ”
……
In the afternoon, Hermione and the others naturally had classes to attend. But after Maka finished the second class of the day, there was no reason to stay in the office.
While there was still one class left after school today, Maca made her way to Hagrid's hunting lodge.
"Bang Bang Bang"
No way, the door of Hagrid's cabin seems to have been a little loose lately, and there is quite a lot of knocking on the door. But when Maca knocked on the door, there was no sound of Yaya's usual barking.
“…… Is it out? Maca subconsciously glanced at the Forbidden Forest, and then suddenly slapped her forehead, "Could it be that he still got his precious brother back?" ”
Without much thought, Maca immediately walked towards the edge of the Forbidden Forest, not far away.
But before he could step into the Forbidden Forest, suddenly he faintly heard a muffled sound from the forest, and then a small flock of birds suddenly jumped up above the Forbidden Forest, and flew away in the distance.
"Looks like Hagrid did bring Glopp back......," Marca shook her head, "It's a good thing his brother is a little stunted, otherwise the woods might not have been able to hide him!" ”
Most of the adult giants are taller than trees, even the species in the Forbidden Forest are not short, but if there were giants in them, they would definitely be a good sight to see from the windows of Hogwarts Castle.
As he walked in the direction of the startled bird, he pondered how to arrange Hagrid's unconscious brother.
Because the destination was very clear, Maca, who was running quickly, heard a fight after a while.
As he shook the trunks of a few trees, he saw the familiar scene of Hagrid being beaten by his older brother.
All right! Speaking of which, Glopp is probably just playing a "giant-like" game with his brother.
In the middle of the stout trees, Grope was tied to his waist by a few strong ropes.
I don't know if Hagrid accidentally walked into the range of the rope, or if he deliberately wanted to strengthen his relationship with his brother. Right now, right in front of Maca, Hagrid was lying on the ground with his ass pouted, and Glopp grabbed his upper body and slapped it at the high cocked part.
"Hagrid!" Maca craned her neck and asked, "Are you alright?" Want to help? ”
"No, no...... Oh! Glopp, tap! You bad boy...... Oh! Remember...... The etiquette that my brother taught you...... Babble! No, it's not 'babbling'...... It's 'etiquette'! ”
“…… Look who's coming! Oh...... Ask your brother Maca...... Oh! Say hello! ”
"Hagrid—isn't this the right generation?" "Judging by my age, I'm probably going to have to call him brother!" ”
"No, Maca...... Oh! Hagrid snorted, "What if little Glopp ...... Oh! I mean, if he doesn't study hard, he'll only be able to ...... for the rest of his life Oh! can only be a junior. ”
Maca shrugged her shoulders indifferently, leaned against the trunk of a tree beside her, and stared at the brothers for a little longer. By the way, he also took the time to chat with Hagrid without a match.
“…… Alright, I think you two should stop playing for now. Maka took out her staff and waved it, pushing Glopp to his heels, dragging Hagrid off the length of the rope.
"I'm just talking to you like this, I'm tired of listening to you if you're not tired!"
Hagrid straightened up with difficulty, panting as he rubbed his ass. It seems that although Glopp must have used only a small amount of strength, the force is still very strong.
Glopp, who had been overthrown to the ground, stood up again in a few moments, and looked left and right with a blank expression, as if trying to find out who had pushed him.
But after a few glances, he focused on Hagrid's position again, and took a step and ran this way.
"Boom!"
With the sound of the ropes tightening, the two trees that Hagrid had used as stakes creaked and groaned, and even the roots loosened slightly.
It looks like it won't be long before the two trees will be pulled out of the ground by the roots of Glopp.
Blocked by the rope, Glopp fell to the ground with a thud, splashing a cloud of dust.
"Wait, little naughty ...... I'll play with you later, brother! ”
Hagrid made a "stop" gesture with his hands outstretched, speaking at a slower pace, as if trying to teach Grope a few of the more common words first.
Grope sat on the ground, shook his rock-like head vigorously, and watched as Hagrid danced at him with a puzzled expression.
"Look, who's coming to see you?" Hagrid pointed back at Maca and said earnestly to his brother, "Say hello when you see someone—say 'hello'!" ”
Seeing that he was teaching him very seriously, Maca stepped forward and stood beside Hagrid.
"Try, little one—try it!" Hagrid coaxed Glopp, "Say—'Hello!'" ”
Grope shook himself and looked left and right at Maca for a moment, then suddenly leaned forward and came in front of her.
"Roar—"
Marca was just in time to reach her staff between Grope and her face, and an invisible barrier suddenly formed, blocking out the saliva roar in front of her.
After Glopp had used up his breath and stopped his sudden roar, he removed the staff that stood in front of him and looked at Hagrid.
"Before you let him learn etiquette, I think you should teach something more basic," Maca said, spreading her hands, "and, perhaps, it may be necessary to follow the Giant's method of education to make him memorize it first." ”
"Giant's method of education?" Hagrid asked curiously, "What's that?" ”
"It's simple, let's say, if I want him to remember my name, then ......," said Maca, "we'll have to do this—"
Before he could finish speaking, Maca slammed the staff on the ground, and the ground swelled, and then the giant hand of mud and stone suddenly stretched out, grabbed Glopp's head and pulled it in front of him.
"Ma-ka-" He gestured to himself, then shouted his name with a amplification charm.
Glopp obviously didn't buy it, because he was caught by Maca on the head, and he struggled to the death. The two big hands tugged at the fingers of the giant mud and stone hand, and from time to time they struck hard twice.
For a moment, clods of earth and gravel splattered in all directions.
However, the giant hand that can replenish the condensation at any time is obviously not afraid of this. Even if he was shattered, the next moment it would reunite and grab his head again.
Maca adjusted the volume of the amplification spell and gathered her voice in Glopp's ear, shouting her name out loud again.
This was repeated more than a dozen times, and Glopp seemed to realize that he couldn't get rid of the giant hand, and finally responded to Maca's shouts.
"Mara, Marga?"
Seeing this, Maca let go of Glopp, who immediately shook his head, which was a little stunned by the loud sound, and then moved his ass back away from Maca.
Maca didn't speak, but directly pointed at herself again.
"Marga!" Grope immediately covered his head, and then called out to Maca.
"I can't learn this method!" Hagrid rubbed his ass with regret on his face.
