Chapter 40: Hagrid's Return

Unlike Harry and Hermione, who didn't know anything, Daphany actually knew a certain amount about Hagrid's whereabouts. Although the members of the Order of the Phoenix did not reveal it to all the children, Daphany knew the plot in the first place.

Hagrid is on his way to find the giants! Take Dumbledore's gift and negotiate with the Giant Tribe!

Dumbledore and the Order of the Phoenix didn't count on the giants to help them deal with the Death Eaters. As long as they didn't belong to Voldemort's side, Dumbledore's goal had been achieved. However, even this did not seem to work out in the end. In the final Battle of Hogwarts, the giants still appeared in the Death Eaters' camp!

But that may change now! Dumbledore now has more resources at his disposal - the toy factory that has surpassed Condiments to become the world's number one dealer in magical joke merchandise, and its financial power is not ordinarily strong!

When she saw Hagrid again, Daphine pouted.

Last year, because of Madame Maxim, Hagrid's appearance changed dramatically with the help of Hermione and Ginny. But I haven't seen it for more than half a year, and now it's back to its former appearance. But then, Daphany noticed that something was wrong, not only her, but Harry and the others noticed the anomaly.

"Hagrid, you're hurt?" Ron exclaimed.

Yes, it's not obvious, but Hagrid is hurt!

There was a slight bruise on his face, and there was a large amount of blood-stained bandages in the corner of the room.

"Well, a little injury! It's okay, it's okay! Hagrid, on the other hand, smiled very happily and seemed to be completely fine. Looking at him like this, Daphany was basically sure that the trip to the Giant Tribe should be quite smooth.

"Hagrid, what's going on? Where have you been? Daphany didn't care, but Harry cared. Asked eagerly.

"Well, Harry, I really want to tell you, but I can't!" Hagrid shook his head regretfully but firmly: "It's a secret, a secret of great importance. ”

"Did the giant hurt you?" Hermione asked suddenly.

Everyone in the room was stunned, including Daphany. While others simply heard the word giant, Daphany was amazed that my little Hermione was so good. Where's the guess?

"Giants?" Hagrid was stunned for a moment, his expression a little embarrassed, "Who said giants?" Who did you mention it to? Who told you...... Who said I ...... Yes? ”

"I guess~" Hermione shrugged.

"Pretty ...... I mean...... Very obvious? Frustrated, Hagrid muttered, took a pot of boiling water off the stove, and poured a cup of tea for the four.

"Hermione doesn't say it, I don't think so, but as soon as Hermione says it, it's like!" Ron played his heartless character again: "Anyway, with Hagrid's size, I think only a giant can hurt you!" If it's a dragon, the injury isn't like this. ”

What Ron meant by this was that he could hurt Hagrid, either a giant or a dragon! There is nothing wrong with this point of view! He and Hermione had seen for themselves how Hagrid had subdued a bird-like man-eater in the maze with brute force after the final event of last year's tournament, and then dragged him to the Forbidden Forest with his arm pit low.

At that time, the scene shocked the little wizards of all the academy with their jaws dropped. Since then, I have gained a new understanding of Hagrid's strength.

"That's bad, you shouldn't know this!" Hagrid grumbled, pulling out a piece of dragon meat from a large packageβ€”something Daphine had a lot of at one point, and it was all too familiar. Hagrid gently wiped the bruises on his face with the piece of dragon meat, and then casually threw it aside and said helplessly: "Mr. Weasley specially asked me to recover a little bit from my injuries and come back, just because I was afraid that you would see the problem, and you would still see the result." I don't know if your cleverness is good or bad! ”

"You're looking for the giants?" Harry seemed intrigued, he had always known that Hagrid had giant blood, not only him, but also Hagrid who was familiar with him, such as Draco, Daphine, and others. Hagrid's height, he can't hide it if he wants to.

"Well, there we went!" Hagrid muttered in reply.

"Found it?" That's what Hermione asked, and apparently she found it funny too.

"They're not as hard to find as you might think. They are giants, not cats. It's so big! ”

"But why didn't the Muggles ......" Hermione obviously wanted to ask, since he was a big man, why wasn't he discovered by the Muggles.

"It is estimated that there are a lot of encounters, but there are even fewer who come back alive!" Daphne interjected, grinning, "You know the recipe of the giants!" ”

The three of them shuddered.

"That's true!" Hagrid shrugged helplessly: "The Ministries of Magic in various countries have put a lot of effort into this, and those unlucky fellows have disguised themselves as mountain accidents!" Alas, I shouldn't have told you that! "Book six

"Let's talk about it, it's all the beginning!" Ron hurriedly persuaded, "Harry also told you that he encountered Dementors during the summer vacation and was punished by the pink toad. ”

"I know about Harry's encounter with Dementors, punished? Who is Pink Toad? Hagrid frowned, looking Harry up and down, obviously worried about the wound in his eyes.

"Dolores Umbridge, Fudge's dogleg!" Daphany smiled and commented on Umlich.

"Oh, I know this man! I heard that the wrist is very powerful! Hagrid muttered, "Nasty guy! ”

"Don't mention those things!" Both Harry and Hermione seemed more concerned about Hagrid's experience: "Are you looking for giants?" It took so long? ”

"Almost," Hagrid said vaguely, "the giants are divided into several tribes, though each tribe is no more than seventy or eighty. Some small tribes have only a dozen or so small tribes, but they are divided into several places. Orim and I visited half of Europe's hordes of giants! ”

"Who's Olim?" Ron looked dazed, and Harry shook his head.

"It's Professor Maxim!" Hermione looked at the two of them with a look of hatred: "Headmaster Beauxbatons! ”

"Oh! It's that very tall woman! Hagrid, you ......" Ron looked at Hagrid in surprise, and Harry did the same, both of them looking at each other with a strange gaze.

Hagrid's old face flushed slightly, but fortunately the room was dimly lit, and he had regained the cover of his messy hair and beard, so it was not obvious. But his tone still showed his embarrassment: "Yes, that man, you know, he is back, and it is not only the British that will affect him, but the French side is also a little worried. After all, there are many dark wizards in France who believe in that person! And there are more giants or other dark creatures in France than in England! ”

Dafanie nodded, France is on the European continent, compared to the island country of the United Kingdom, there are naturally more messy things.

"Just the two of you?" Harry was a little surprised, he knew that Hagrid was a little more powerful than he thought, but he knew that he was looking for giants! Even if it's a fire dragon, he doesn't want to face giants!

"Well, there are two more! Was a former student of Dumbledore. Dutch! Hagrid said this, with some regret: "But not a member of the Order of the Phoenix, it seems that Dumbledore hired to protect Orim." ”

Daphany nodded knowingly, and sure enough, with his deep pockets, Dumbledore had more people at his disposal. Although the members of the Order of the Phoenix who generate electricity for love are a minority, as long as the remuneration is in place, there are many more who are willing to give face to the white wizard!

"You know where the giant is?" Harry asked curiously.

"I know some of them, and some of them know a little bit of the approximate trail." Hagrid said, "What Dumbledore told us, he was always well informed!" After all, he has a lot of connections! Whenever Dumbledore was mentioned, Hagrid had a proud look on his face.

"Giants should hide themselves, right? After all, being found out is a nuisance! Hermione said with a frown.

"Not exactly, they don't have a very good brain~" Hagrid shook his head: "The wizards don't care, and the place where they stay, it's difficult for ordinary people to get into." Even with Dumbledore's guidance, it would have taken us more than half a year to find those tribes. ”

"Is it going well?" Harry asked.

"It's okay at first, the Ministry of Magic has been spying on me. Olim has a way of it, I can't use magic, but she can. The Ministry of Magic didn't dare to provoke her too much! In addition, the two people Dumbledore found are also very powerful wizards! Although there was a little trouble on the way, it was solved smoothly. In contrast, the giants are the big trouble! Hagrid said.

"When we get to the giants' territory, we can't use magic too much. Giants don't like wizards! We can't just go to them. That man, you know, is also looking for giants! Dumbledore tells us to watch out for the Death Eaters! ”

With that, Hagrid took a long sip of tea. This made both Harry and Ron a little anxious, urging him to continue.

"Then I found it!" Hagrid spread his hands: "As long as the method and direction are right, they are not difficult to find, as I said before." They didn't mean to hide it. ”

"How tall are they, I mean giants?" Ron asked, a little excited.

"About twenty feet, there are some taller, some twenty-five feet or even higher!" Hagrid said nonchalantly.

Twenty feet, that's about six meters. That's very big! You must know that Hagrid's oppressive body shape is actually more than three meters and less than four meters tall. Two meters taller than him, no wonder even dragons are afraid of him!

Harry thought to himself. Daphine wasn't new at all. Attack on Titan? I've been aesthetically tired for a long time~ Well, I hope the giants here are wearing clothes~

"And after that?" Hermione's curiosity was apparently hung up as well.

"Then I'll go over and say hello!" Hagrid said rightly.
