20. We will protect this child! Until he came of age!

Facing the giant who was more than three meters tall, Vernon was afraid, but he still used his fat body to protect his family behind him.

The giant took care of himself with a small red umbrella on his waist and pointed towards the position of the fireplace, and a magical scene appeared, and the fireplace that had been extinguished actually burned again.

Dudley's eyes lit up when he saw this scene, is this magic? It's amazing.

The giant roasted the fire for a while, still feeling that his body was not warm enough, so he rubbed his hands: "Oh, I want to drink a cup of hot tea, you should have it." ”

Such a rude behavior of directly asking and threatening made Dudley instantly extinguish his desire to seek advice, and said with a slightly cold expression: "Tea is for entertaining guests. ”

The implication is already obvious, the eviction order.

"Hey, Dursley, look at this stupid big guy in your house, he hasn't figured out a thing yet." As if he didn't understand, the giant said viciously, "Remember, don't say no in front of someone stronger than you." ”

Penny was afraid that the giant would be bad for Dudley and wanted to make tea for him, but Dudley grabbed his mother and went over to make Hagrid a cup of tea.

During the whole process, Dudley was expressionless and did not say a word.

When Harry saw this, he knew in his heart... This was a sign before Dudley's wrath.

He knew that Dudley liked to convince people with reason many times, but if he kept his face stiff and didn't speak, he wanted to convince people with reason.

The former is the truth, and the latter is the physics.

Of course, Harry thought that Dudley was stronger, he had never seen Dudley lose a fight, but the giant's stature was so big that he couldn't help but be a little worried.

When the fight began, I struck him with a burning stick. ’

Harry's eyes kept wandering and finally landed on the giant's hips.

"That's right, I didn't expect you, a stupid big guy who looks clumsy, to make tea." Hagrid didn't care about Dudley's expression, took a sip of the teacup from his hand, and said in satisfaction. Then he smiled kindly at Harry, who was standing to Vernon's right, and muttered, "Harry, anyway, I wish you a happy birth." ”

'Arrogant and untutored. Dudley said in his heart.

It is a new level of evaluation of Hogwarts.

As he spoke, the giant pulled out a flattened box and handed it to Harry.

"Oh, it looks crushed, but it must taste good, I promise."

"Who are you?"

Harry didn't leave Vernon's shelter, let alone reach out to receive the giant's gift, but just looked at each other with vigilance.

Seeing that Harry was slow to accept his gift, Hagrid was a little embarrassed, and took it back: "I forgot to introduce myself, Rubeus Hagrid, just call me Hagrid, I'm the key keeper and hunting ground keeper at Hogwarts..."

At this point, Hagrid paused, staring at Harry with big eyes, "You always know Hogwarts, right?" ”

Harry shook his head at his hair, "I don't know. ”

"Don't know?!" Hearing Harry's answer, Hagrid suddenly roared, and turned his head to glare at the Dursleys, whose huge form resembled an angry King Kong, and the look looked like it was going to eat them.

On the other hand, Dudley is also fully prepared and ready to go, waiting for Hagrid's attack at any time.

"Why don't you know?!" Hagrid used a 'loud roar' that shook the whole cabin and began to shake, "I know you didn't receive those letters, but you should... I understand! Dursley! ”

Hagrid's volume rose a few decibels again.

"You never told this kid, did you? Didn't tell him everything he should know! ”

'What should I know?' ’

When Harry heard Hagrid's words, he couldn't help but have a trace of doubt in his heart.

But years of life made him believe that his uncle and aunt would not harm him.

Hagrid's mood eased surprisingly when he looked at Harry, "Harry... You should want to know something about your parents, right? Come here, I'll tell you! ”

In Hagrid's opinion, Harry must have been curious about his parents.

It's like that for every child.

Harry said with a slightly cold face, "I'm not interested." ”

Harry is not stupid, in fact, he already has a plan in his heart, the other party has mentioned his parents many times, judging from the tone, he should be a friend of his parents before his death, but Harry has not seen each other once in so many years.

Dudley taught him since he was a child that the kind of guy who you don't usually see and one day suddenly appears and claims to be an acquaintance of you, must have other plans for you.

Of course, this is based on the fact that the other party is not lying, if there is a lie...

Harry remembered being taken away by guys who claimed to be acquaintances of his parents when he was very young, and that day Penny and Vernon went crazy looking for their whereabouts, and Dudley eventually found him in a small dilapidated house where he and many other children his age were shivering in a room with a leaky window.

Later he learned... The guy who claimed to be an acquaintance of his parents was actually a trafficker, and he and the group of children were 'goods' to be sold.

It was also from that day that Dudley began to travel to and from school with him, even if he left school earlier than himself.

So neither of these is good news.

Harry suddenly realized that the giant in front of him, who called himself Hagrid, might have something to do with the letters he had received earlier, because the place called Hogwarts couldn't go to Smetin Middle School with Dudley.

Thinking of this, I suddenly felt a wave of disgust for this place called Hogwarts, and at the same time, I was a little worried about the safety of Dudley and my uncle and aunt.

'Do you want to promise him?' And then take the opportunity to call the police? ’

Because of Harry's rejection, Hagrid's interest suddenly became very low, and he lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head again and looked at Harry with burning eyes: "Harry, do you want to know who you are?" Dursley probably didn't tell you! ”

"Shut up!" His words seemed to poke at the hearts of the Dursleys, and Vernon restrained his fear of Hagrid, and said to Hagrid in a loud and commanding tone, "Say no more! I'm not going to tell you anything about this kid! ”

"From the moment we carried him into the house, we decided to stay away from that damn place!"

Vernon turned the fear in his heart into strength, glared back without showing weakness in Hagrid's angry eyes, and said hard word by word: "That ghost place has killed this child's parents, do you still want this child to be the same?!" ”

"We will protect this child! Until he came of age! ”

PS: I don't actually have any ill feelings towards Hagrid, but this time it's different from the Dursleys' point of view, this thing is a villain.

PS2: By the way, Hagrid's request for tea is a threat, even the half-blood giants who are discriminated against in the wizarding world still have a natural sense of superiority when facing Muggles.
