Chapter 1042: Decision and Hagrid's Request
"As a werewolf?" Lupin hesitated, "Professor......"
"What's the problem, Remus?" Dumbledore asked.
Lupin paused slightly, then immediately shook his head, "No problem, Professor, but how do I dismiss them as werewolves......?"
"I believe that these people of the Cappadocia family have a certain understanding of each of us, which is not difficult for vampires, as long as you are there, they will naturally come to you. ”
"Wait a minute, Remus!" Sirius said suddenly, "you know, you have to know what you're going to be exposed to there." ”
"Greyback?" Lupin smiled, and Van Lin tried hard to read Professor Lupin's expression, but on Lupin's face, Van Lin didn't receive any more feedback.
In fact, regarding Professor Lupin, when he was four years old, his father offended the werewolf Fenrir Greyback, and in retaliation, the werewolf broke into the bedroom through the window and bit little Lupin, Lupin became a werewolf ever since, and his parents tried all kinds of ways to save him, but to no avail. He and his parents thought he couldn't go to Hogwarts because other parents wouldn't want their children to get close to a werewolf, but when Albus Dumbledore became Headmaster, he came up with some ways for Remus to come to Hogwarts.
But Lupin never forgot his hatred for Greyback.
"It's not a contradiction, Blake. Lu Ping said lightly, "I think I can handle these problems, not to mention, this is what I have always thought, I have to use my identity to do something." ”
"Of course I believe you, Remus, but ......"
"Alright, Sirius, we're going to do what Lupin wants, and you've got a mission too, Sirius, we're going to do something soon, and it looks like Tom is getting impatient. ”
"Professor, you mean Harry......"
"Severus has already set it up, and I don't think we'll be able to do it long......"
......
"What's wrong, Hagrid?"
As they walked quickly across the grass towards the edge of the forest, Harry raised his head and looked at him with concern and said, although it was not clear why Hagrid pulled him and Ron out of the Quidditch pitch, but it didn't affect anything, anyway, since the Ministry of Magic intervened in Hogwarts, Quidditch was just a luxury for Harry, not to mention, it wasn't a Gryffindor match today, he and Ron only showed up because Autumn was in Ravenclaw.
"Yes—you'll find out in a moment," Hagrid said, turning his head over his shoulders to look back—a jumble of cheers rising from the stands behind them.
"Hey - who scored?"
"Ravenclaw for sure," Harry said lightly. "Against Huffpuff, I don't think there's a problem with Qiu. ”
"Oh, of course, there's your training. Ron bumped Harry's shoulder, wincing an eyebrow.
"That's good, it's good. Hagrid said with a pretending lightheartedness, it would be perfect if there were no scars on his face.
They had to trot to keep up with Hagrid—he strode across the lawn, looking around with each step. When they reached his cabin, Harry automatically turned left towards the front door. But Hagrid walked straight past the house to the shade of a tree at the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
This made Harry feel strange, didn't Hagrid invite the two of them over for tea?
Harry misses the days when Hermione and Van Lin were there,
There, Hagrid picked up a stone bow leaning against a tree. When he realized that they were no longer around, he turned, "We're going to be here," he said, shaking his shaggy head.
"Into the Forbidden Forest?" Ron said, somewhat confused. "Yes," said Hagrid, "come now, hurry, before we are discovered!"
Harry and Ron looked at each other for a moment, then quickly burrowed under the tree behind Hagrid—he had strode away from them into the shadows of the woods, the stone bow resting on his arm.
Harry and Ron ran after him.
"Hagrid, why are you carrying a weapon?" said Harry.
"Just in case," Hagrid said, shrugging his strong shoulders.
"You didn't bring a stone bow with you when you showed us the snails. Ron said timidly, a little badly.
"yes, uh, we didn't go very far," Hagrid said, "and it was before Fraser left the forest, anyway, didn't it?"
"Why was Frazer different after he left?" Harry asked curiously, remembering the centaur, with its silver-white skin......
"Because the other centaurs were very annoyed with me, that's why," Hagrid said calmly. He took a cursory look around, "They used to be — well, you can't say they were friendly — but we got along okay. They never socialize with people, but I always find them when I need to ask questions. Not anymore. Hagrid sighed deeply.
"Fraser said they were very angry that he was working for Dumbledore," Harry said.
He kept staring at Hagrid's side until he tripped over a protruding root.
"Yes," Hagrid said heavily, "they can't hide their anger, and if I hadn't stopped it in time, I'd have kicked Frazier to death—"
"They attacked him?" Ron sounded shocked, was that mark on his chest?
"Yes," Hagrid said in a gruff voice, "blocking his path with a few branches hanging from the bottom. Half of them were attacking him. ”
"You stopped them?" Harry said in surprise, "just you?"
"Of course, I can't just stand and watch them kill him, can I?" said Hagrid, "and luckily I did, really." I guess Fraser should have thought about it before giving me that stupid warning. ”
He said in a somewhat unexpected tone. Harry and Ron looked at each other for a moment, shocked, rescuing the centaur from a group of enraged centaurs, this was definitely not an easy task, for many Aurors, it was simply an incredible move, but Hagrid, still frowning, did not describe it more carefully.
"Anyway," Hagrid said flatly, a little heavier than his usual gasp, "and since then, the other centaurs have become hostile to me, but the problem is that they have sensed a lot of things in the forest. They are the smartest creatures here. ”
"Is that why we're here, Hagrid?" asked Harry, "because of the centaurs?"
"Oh, no," said Hagrid, shaking his head dismissively, "no, not because of them. They can only complicate things, that's right. But you'll see what I mean right away. ”
Leaving this incomprehensible explanation, he fell silent, steadily leading the way in front - he could top them three steps in one step, so it would be difficult for them to catch up with him.
The path became more and more overgrown, and the further they went, the closer the trees became, and as dark as dusk. They were soon far away from the clearing where Hagrid had shown them the whelk, and Harry had been senselessly uneasy until Hagrid unexpectedly stepped out of the path and took him away into the heart of the dark forest.
"Hagrid!" said Harry, struggling to make his way through the thick thorns—and Hagrid walked effortlessly. He remembered vividly what had happened here before—he had been to this forest path before.
"Where are we going?"
"A little further on," Hagrid said, turning his head, "come here, Harry, we'll have to follow now." ”
It took a lot of effort for them to keep up with Hagrid. Thorny branches and bushes stood in the way, and Hagrid walked over them with ease—as if they were cobwebs.
But they were clinging to Harry and Ron's robes, and they were so violently entangled that they had to stop for a few minutes to free themselves. Harry's arms and legs were covered in tiny cuts and abrasions. They went so deep into the forest that sometimes Harry saw Hagrid in the shadows as a thick black shadow in front of him.
In the oppressive silence, any sound sounds dangerous. The echo of the branches snapping was loud, and the slight rustle of movement—though it seemed to be made by an innocent sparrow—made Harry nervously peek into the shadows around him, as if trying to find a criminal or something.
For he had never been so deep into the forest, but he could not see an animal. Their disappearance did not seem to bode well.
"Hagrid, can we light our wands?" said Ron, uneasy, the darkness so oppressive.
"Uh, no problem," Hagrid whispered, turning. "Actually—" He stopped abruptly and turned around.
Ron hit him right on top of him and was bounced back. Harry grabbed him before he fell.
"Maybe we should stop here for a while, so you can be strong again. Hagrid said, "Before we get there." ”
"Great!" Ron said as Harry helped him up. They whispered at the same time, "Fluorescent flicker!"
A flash of light flashed from the tip of the wand. Hagrid's face swayed in two flickering rays of light, and Harry found him looking nervous and sad again.
"Well," said Hagrid, "uh, I see, that thing is," he looked panting, "well, I can be fired at any time now." He said.
Harry and Ron looked at each other for a moment, then at Hagrid.
"But you've been doing it for a long time—" Harry asked tentatively, "what makes you think—"
"Those people at the Ministry of Magic think I put all that bad stuff in their office. ”
"Do you have one?" said Harry, before he could keep his mouth shut.
"No, of course it's not me!" Hagrid said angrily, "It's related to Fantastic Beasts, but they think it's mine. You know, Umbridge has been looking for an opportunity to fire me since I came back, and now that Dumbledore is gone, the people from the Ministry of Magic ...... I don't want to go, of course. But if not, uh, I'm going to tell you that I'm leaving right now, before the Ministries fire me in front of the whole school—just like Umbridge did with Professor Trawney. ”
Harry and Ron protested strongly at the same time, but Hagrid waved his huge palm and didn't listen to them.
"It's not the end of the world yet, and when I leave here, I can still play for Dumbledore, and I'll be able to help the Phoenix Order. And you're going to have a wizard level exam, and you're going to- you're going to pass it with flying colors. His voice stopped tremblingly.
"Don't worry about me. When Ron tried to pat his arm to comfort him, he said quickly.
He took a huge dirty handkerchief from his vest pocket and wiped his eyes. "You see, I won't tell you unless I have to. If I leave now, I can't—I can't walk away without saying a word. Because—because I'm going to need the help of both of you. There are others, if they will. ”
"Of course, of course we'll help you," Harry said at once, "what do you need us to do?"
Hagrid took a deep breath and silently patted Harry on the shoulder—causing him to fall to a tree. "I knew you'd say that," Hagrid said, burying his face in his handkerchief, "but I won't, never." Forgotten. Uh, come on, we'll just have to walk a little bit more. Watch yourself, now, there are nettles here. ”
They walked in silence for another quarter of an hour. Harry had just asked how long they would have to walk, when Hagrid held up his right hand and motioned for him not to speak.
"Simple," he said gently, "very quietly, now." They crept on, and Harry found themselves walking towards a large, flat mound, which he thought was as tall as Hagrid. Harry was faintly frightened, it must have been some kind of nest of a huge animal. The mound is surrounded by large trees that have been uprooted, forming one
The patches surround the open space that is fenced by tree trunks and thick branches. The clearing was behind Harry, Hermione, and Hagrid.
"Stop," Hagrid said silently. To be sure, Harry heard a distant, rhythmic rumble - it sounded like a pair of huge lungs working. He glanced at Ron beside him—Ron was looking at the mound with puffed eyes, looking completely frightened.
But it made Harry feel familiar, and he was in his previous position......
"Hagrid," Ron said in a voice barely audible to the sleeping animal, "is this a mountain monster?"
"Glopp?" Harry cried, "but Glopp isn't over there......
"Oh, yes, it was like that before, but that's the territory that Van Lin fought for, and ...... with magic," Hagrid said with a bit of a headache, "but now that Van Lin is gone, I don't know much about the magic he left there, and I can't keep it up, and Fraser joined Hogwarts, and he was banished by the Centaur tribe, so no one can speak to the Centaur tribe." ”
"So ......"
"We were expelled. "This is the only place I can find, where Noble used to play, but Noble now has a better place to live, so I talked to Noble and gave it up to Glopp." ”
"Consult, give it to Glop......" Harry felt that he must have opened Hagrid in the wrong way.
Dragons and giants, he heard Van Lin say, in the original, giants catch dragons for food, because giants are too big and need too much food, and a dragon can meet the survival conditions of giants for several days.
It can be said that the relationship between the two is completely predatory, in the dragon's lair, there are still a lot of giant skulls, these two guys will have something wrong sooner or later, but Hagrid said to discuss with Nobo?
It's incredible, if Nobo didn't come over and kill Glopp, would he still allow Glopp to survive?
