"What's in there?"

Looking at the rattan box that Maca had put down, Hagrid and Madame Maxime both had curious expressions.

"Of course it's dinner today," Makariso opened the lid of the box, and all sorts of food came into the eyes of the three of them, "I got it from the Hogwarts kitchen before I came over—"

As he spoke, he pulled out a mess of jars and jars, all of which were laid out on the side of the rattan box.

When Hagrid and Madame Maxime saw him put several iron plates together into a barbecue grill, Hagrid was left dumbfounded.

"We can't make a fire!" Madame Maxim glanced worriedly across the ridge, then stopped.

Maca picked up the two potions bottles and shook her head with a smile.

"Don't make a fire, just use this."

As he spoke, he uncorked the two potions bottles and carefully poured some into the tray of the barbecue. Just for a moment, a wave of heat rose in it.

"Maka, are you here for a picnic?" Hagrid couldn't help but say.

"Just warming up the food," Maca said, shrugging slightly, "These are the things I bought last time I went to France when I was shopping in the Muggle world with Luna...... Speaking of which, this is the first time I've used it! ”

Seeing that he was excited to put the food on it, the other two had to go with him.

“…… Well, not bad. Maca sniffed the aroma that was gradually pouring out, then waved her wand and sent them to the opposite mountain forest of the giant crowd with a current, "Seriously, so much mess has happened in the years since I entered Hogwarts, and even I almost forgot who I am. ”

"Who are you?" Hagrid hesitated, "Oh...... yes......"

When Maca saw Hagrid's somewhat embarrassed look, she couldn't help but suddenly say, "Oh, you two don't know yet, right?" I'm now a professor of ancient magic at Hogwarts! ”

"Huh?" Hagrid's eyes widened immediately, his gaze full of astonishment, "Professor? Maca you? ”

Madame Maxime next to her was the head of the school, but she was not as startled as Hagrid. But even if she has seen a lot, she can't help but be shocked.

"Yes! I'm here to help you this time, but I'm skipping work—"

"Congratulations, congratulations!" Madame Maxim said as if she had slowed down for half a beat, "What a professor at your young age is a great achievement in the wizarding world—I think you will go down in history." ”

"Oh, thank you," Maca laughed, "but even if I were to be included in the Modern History of Magic, it would be a long time later. According to Professor Binns, who is in charge of the History of Magic class, the Modern History of Magic was revised over a period of 50 years, compared to the last revision ...... I think it was 1981, right? ”

"Hahaha......"

Hagrid laughed heartily a few times, and then, as if realizing something, quickly covered his mouth. He hurried to the other side of the ridge and looked at it a few times, and then breathed a sigh of relief—it seemed that the giants didn't have such good ears.

"Oh, if that's the case, then ......" Hagrid asked in a whisper, running back again, "what did you just say 'your own identity'?" ”

When Maca heard this, she immediately pointed to the barbecue grill that was still radiating heat and said, "I mean, I almost forgot that I was still a Hufflepuff!" ”

Seeing Maca say this, Hagrid and Madame Maxim nodded in understanding.

Helga Hufflepuff, one of the four founders of Hogwarts, is best known for nothing but her mundane love of food.

Not only is she good at using food-related spells, but she also collects and writes down many recipes by hand.

Legend has it that those recipes could fill even a small library, but where exactly she put them remained a mystery.

It is worth mentioning that the main dishes at Hogwarts banquets today are prepared according to the few recipes she left in the kitchen. Sadly, it was one of the few Helga recipes that had been discovered.

If you want to say whether maca likes to eat it or not, that's for sure. Although he is never a picky eater and can swallow anything he can eat, he is undoubtedly a diner who wants to enjoy delicious food.

Perhaps this is what best suits him to Hufflepuff House.

"Okay, okay, it's all hot, come and eat!"

At Maca's greeting, Hagrid and Madame Maxime joined together to enjoy this sumptuous dinner, which was quite rare in the wilderness.

However, when they were almost halfway through their meal, a thunderous sound suddenly sounded on the other side of the ridge, ruthlessly breaking the wonderful meal time.

"What's going on?"

Hagrid hurriedly got to his feet, and ran to the opposite side in a hurry, and even Madame Maxime, who was sitting beside her, got up from the ground with a sad face.

"Don't worry," Maka pouted, "I'm all too familiar with the sound - it must be the giant asleep and snoring!" ”

If Hagrid's snoring is a neighbor smashing a wall, then the giant's must be demolishing the house. The snoring sound like that summer thunder is really a rare scene.

"I haven't counted them because it's dark, but I guess there must be dozens of giants down there...... In my opinion, this is just the beginning! ”

He muttered incoherently as he munched on the fragrant lamb chops.

Sure enough, if they weren't wizards who could use silencers to solve the noise problem, then they wouldn't have wanted to rest well for the night.

Eventually, after deciding on the number of people to keep vigil in shifts, the three of them took turns to sleep.

In the first class was Madame Maxim.

In order to be considerate of women and to show gentlemanly demeanor, Maca and Hagrid unanimously decided to let her stay on the first shift of the most worry-free shift, after all, it would not be a pleasant experience to be woken up from her sleep by life.

Of course, the vigil was to prevent a giant from waking up in the middle of the night and sneaking up to their resting place. In reality, however, giants rarely wake up at night.

Don't look at them so strong, in fact, it is precisely because of this that their need for sleep is very high. In addition to sleeping at night until the next morning, I often sleep on the floor during the day.

Hagrid was in charge of the second shift, but after a few years as a hunting ground guard at Hogwarts, he was used to it.

While spending the night in the hunting lodge on the edge of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts, he would also get up overnight to check on the situation when he heard some movement.

In Hagrid's eyes, Maca was not much different from when he first met him, so he deliberately stayed for two more hours before poking his head into Maca's tent and waking him up.

But it's true that even though Maca has grown a lot taller, it's almost like two people when he first entered school. But if you compare it to Hagrid, it's just "from the ass to the waist".

Although we often hear the phrase "always a child in the eyes of the elders", on Hagrid's side, this phrase can be regarded as truly "worthy of the name".

"Maca, wake up, it's time for a shift."

As Hagrid muffled her voice, Maca sat up sleepily and yawned as if she were trying to drain her lungs.

"Oh...... Laborious...... Good work, Hagrid ......"

In order to facilitate shift changes, and also to cope with unexpected situations, sleeping in the field is usually a kimono.

The always cautious Maca naturally didn't get confused in this regard, so he just cleaned up a little and quickly got out of the tent.

As soon as he got outside, he immediately shrunk his neck - it was so cold on the night!

"Then I'll go sleep for a while, and I'll leave it to you." Hagrid wrapped himself in the huge blanket he had brought, and lay down on the barbecue that was still radiating heat.

Madame Maxim had cast a silencer over there, so even Hagrid snored without worrying about attracting giants.

However, Maca is actually very suspicious, even if there is something to make on their side, will it really wake up the sleeping giants?

Not to mention Hagrid's snoring, even if Maca opened her throat and sang, it was estimated that she would be drowned in the giant's thunderous tsunami-like snoring, without a trace of waves.

"Isn't it almost dawn......

He glanced at the night sky, and the half of the moon was about to set on the top of the mountain in the west. After a little emotion in his heart, he stretched his waist with all his might, and then simply walked over to the other side of the ridge.

It was the first time he had seen a giant, and it was impossible not to be curious.

But if he wanted to say "big", he had not only seen the basilisk with a body length of nearly 50 feet, but even the bones of the ancient dragon that was as big as a mountain had already been admired up close.

Compared to that, the giants below who are more than twenty feet tall on average are really not worth mentioning.

Suffice it to say, when Maca saw the giants lying on their backs in the shadowy moonlight, he was heartily excited.

The following are the most massive "humanoids" in the world today, and that alone is enough to amaze everyone who sees them.

"Magic, dragons, basilisks, giants, ......"

Forced by a subtle sense of crisis and the inexplicable attraction of magic to him, Maca, who had been immersed in the stacks of books, did not really recall how she felt when she received the "Hogwarts Admission Letter" until this moment.

While Maca was alone in the muttering of those familiar and unfamiliar words, the moon had quietly set over the mountain. Directly opposite Maca, a round of rising sun that radiated a thousand feet of light dyed the sky into a dazzling golden red.
