After listening to Hagrid's words, Kyle couldn't help but rub his forehead,

There were seventy or eighty giants in total, and only six or seven were convinced, which was only one-tenth.

Moreover, if it's just like this, forget it, although the number is smaller, but there are still some, and it's not a trip in vain.

But even this amount is only an unknown number......

As Hagrid said earlier, it is only possible for them to join their side if they are unwilling to submit to the rule of the high horses.

If that tall horse was as bloodthirsty and brutal as Hagrid said, how could he tolerate the betrayal of his giants and go outside.

Plus, even if they get away with it, it's only "probably" that they'll join.

Two conditions, the probability of one is lower than the other.

To put it bluntly, Hagrid had made a complete trip for nothing this time.

Kyle tapped his finger on the table and said thoughtfully, "How's the strength of the giants?" ”

"It's powerful." "Giants, like dragons, can ignore most magic, and they are so powerful and endurance that wizards can only wait for death when they encounter them...... What do you ask for? ”

"It's nothing, just ask, after all, they'll be enemies next, and it's always good to know a little more." Kyle said.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly asked, "Hagrid, are there any giants elsewhere?" ”

"No, it's all there." Hagrid shook his head, his tone a little sad,

"There used to be more than a hundred tribes in the world, but now there are so many left, wizards killed some, but most of them died from cannibalism, giants are not suitable for living together, but in order to survive, not to be killed by wizards, they have to stay together."

"That's right." Kyle glanced at Hagrid.

He could see that Hagrid had feelings for the giants...... No, it can't be said to be feelings, it should be said to be the resonance between blood, after all, Hagrid's mother is a giant, and the connection is doomed.

He cared about the tribe of giants, and no matter how much he disliked the brutal giants, Hagrid could not be completely indifferent to their plight.

Kyle thought for a moment and asked, "You just said that it was because the giant Gugo was tall and liked to kill that he leaned towards the Death Eaters, right?" ”

Hagrid nodded.

The previous giant, Gugo, had already thought of being on their side, but who would have thought that at this critical moment, he died and had his head cut off by a tall horse.

His own and Maxim's efforts were also in vain in the blink of an eye.

"The Death Eaters probably planned it a long time ago, so they prepared the elf's sword in advance." Kyle paused for a moment, and subconsciously lowered his voice: "What if...... I mean, if the giants were to get a new gugo, would the situation change? ”

"Maybe, but it's hard." Hagrid said, "The tall pony was the greatest giant there, more than three feet taller than the others, and with that razor-sharp elven sword, there was no giant to match him." ”

"You can't do it either?" Kyle asked.

"Nope." Hagrid said seriously, "The biggest reason why the giants hate wizards is because they use magic on them. If I kill a giant with magic, they will immediately be on the opposite side of us.

"Even if the Death Eaters wanted to recruit them, they only provided weapons to the tall horses, instead of directly helping him kill the previous Gugo, the same reason."

There was silence in the room again, except for the crackling of the fireplace fireplace.

"What if it's a magical beast." Kyle's voice sounded a little erratic, "Like a lost dragon...... Or something more deadly. ”

"It's even more unlikely." Hagrid waved his hand and said, "There are at least seventy giants there, and no magical beast wants to provoke them, not even the fire dragon. ”

The copper kettle on the stove made a whining sound.

"Alright, Kyle, that's not something you should be concerned about." Hagrid picked up the copper kettle and poured boiling water into two bucket-shaped cups.

"Tell me about Hogwarts, I don't know what happened during this time...... How's Harry......"

"I don't want you to worry though......," Kyle sighed, "but he hasn't been doing well lately, and he's run into Dementors on vacation. ”

"Dementors! How is this possible, it can't be true! Hagrid's voice jerked up.

"It's true." Kyle said, "The Dementors attacked Little Whinging, but don't worry, Harry is fine, he used the Patronus Charm to chase those guys away. However, it was also because of this that he was interrogated by magic for using magic in front of Muggles. ”

"How could they do that!" Hagrid said angrily, "Harry is here to save his life, what's wrong with him." ”

"Don't worry, with Professor Dumbledore's help, Harry will be fine." Kyle said.

"Now he's in trouble with Umbridge."

"Who's Umbridge?"

"People from the Ministry of Magic, she ......"

As he spoke, Kyle suddenly stopped, and said loudly in Hagrid's puzzled eyes, "If you continue to be obsessed, Harry's situation will only get worse, and choosing the Ministry of Magic is the right path." ”

"Kyle, what are you talking about......"

His words were drowned out by a sudden knock on the door.

Hagrid looked out the window next to the door, and a stocky figure swayed on the thin curtains.

Kyle shook his head and motioned for Hagrid to stop talking and open the door.

Hagrid didn't understand, but he did so, pushing aside the tooth that was clutching the door with his foot, and pulled the door open.

Umbridge stood in the doorway, wearing a pink fluffy cloak and a hat with earmuffs of the same color.

She wasn't half Hagrid's height, and she had to lean back to see Hagrid's face.

"So to speak." Her voice was loud and slow, "You're Hagrid, aren't you?" ”

Without waiting for Hagrid to answer, she walked inside.

"Ah, Kyle." She said in surprise, "No wonder I thought the sound in the room was a little familiar just now, so you are here too." ”

"Yes, Professor Umbridge." Kyle said, "I have a good relationship with Hagrid and I don't want to see him go astray. ”

"A wise choice." Umbridge laughed heartily, even though her laughter made Hagrid uncomfortable.

"Hmm...... I don't want to be rude. Hagrid looked at her, "But who the hell are you?" ”

"My name is Dolores Umbridge."

"You're that Umbridge?" Hagrid subconsciously glanced at Kyle.

Kyle's performance just now was so strange, is it because of this person?

Hagrid thought to himself, but didn't show it on the surface.

"But do I remember you're not from the Ministry of Magic? I've seen you, next to Fudge. ”

"That's right, I'm the senior deputy minister responsible to the minister." "Now I'm also a Defence Against the Dark Arts professor and a Hogwarts High Inquisitor. ”

"Then you're brave." Hagrid didn't seem to hear the second half of her sentence at all, "Not many people are willing to teach this now...... How about a cup of tea. ”

He poured another glass of water and grabbed another handful of tea leaves.

Umbridge looked at the missing mug, her eyebrows furrowed.

"No need." She struggled to hide the disgust in her tone.

"I'm here to tell you...... As a senior investigator, I have a necessary task of investigating the teaching of other professors. ”

"You're going to investigate us?"

"Yes, the minister is determined to purge unqualified professors."

I don't know if it's because Kyle is here, Umbridge doesn't say much, just walks around the house and prepares to leave.

"We'll see each other again soon." Umbridge stood on the steps outside the door, turned back and said, "Hagrid, hopefully you'll make the right choice then." ”
