A Certain Hogwarts Magician Professor

Felix was standing at the gate of the castle. It was almost completely dark. Looking down from this angle, you could see that the lights in Hagrid's hut were lit. At this moment, the sound of kicking footsteps and voices came from behind him.

"I should have guessed it. Neville said his parents came back a week ago and took him to Diagon Alley to buy teaching materials...I mean, since they went to the same place as Hagrid, no It makes sense that Hagrid is so slow," Harry said.

"Because they perform different tasks." Sirius explained, they appeared at the gate of the castle, "The Longbottoms repelled the Death Eaters who rushed to support them. They barely reported their revenge, and they returned when the incident was over. Yes, and Hagrid...Hi, Felix." He said hello.

Felix nodded to Sirius, not surprised at the arrival of the three of Harry, "Given your relationship with Hagrid... it's okay to see the last time, otherwise it may be a few months later."

"What happened to Hagrid?" Harry asked eagerly.

"He will stay in the forbidden forest most of the time, today is an exception. He has to deal with the injury." Felix replied briefly, "Let's go, go early and get back early."

The five people stepped on the marble steps all the way down. Harry was filled with doubts. At this moment, Ron poked him in the ribs. "Look over there." Harry followed his gaze and looked at Hagrid's cabin. The dim yellow light cheered him up.

They crossed the spacious grounds and came to Hagrid's hut. Yaya's screams rang before he got even closer.

Sirius stood at the door and shouted, "Hagrid, here we come!"

There was a mess of noise in the room, and after a while, the door opened, and Hagrid walked out of it, shocking everyone. His face was dirty, his head turned into a strange shape, like a smashed pumpkin: his left eye was swollen into a crack, and the corner of his eye was still bleeding. It's not that the nose is still bleeding, and it is estimated that no one can find the correct position of the nose; the bare skin-hands and face are blue and purple with scars.

Hagrid closed the door cautiously, using an inconvenient hand, which made people suspect that his bone was broken.

"You, how are you, Hagrid?" Hermione asked softly.

Hagrid tried to open his eyes, as if recognizing Hermione’s shape, he grinned, "Ah, I’m so happy to see you, I originally planned to show up again later-now I can’t take the time, and it’s like this. I can't see people either." He pointed to his face, trying to smile, but it affected the wound on his face.

"I didn't quite believe it when Dumbledore told me," Felix looked at Hagrid up and down, "but it seems to be true... how about your giant trip with Mrs. Maxim?"

There was embarrassment on Hagrid’s face, and he shook the intact arm. "It’s not a success... Olim and I can only say that we met the lowest expectations. The giant chose not to help each other. In fact, they had no time to care. We...they, they are divided."

"Split?" Felix asked in surprise.

"It's incredible, isn't it? They don't have much in total, but they are still fighting..." Hagrid led them to the depths of the forbidden forest, telling his story along the way, "At the beginning of the holiday, I and Olim set out to lobby the giant."

"Is it Mrs. Maxim?" Harry asked.

"Yes, she is a strong person who is not afraid of hardship. This is very rare. Know that she is an elegant and well-dressed lady. When Dumbledore told me that she was going to join the team, I was a little worried...Facts It proves that I think too much. Whether it's climbing a rock or sleeping in a cave, she never complained once, and she can always come up with all kinds of useful things. She said you lent him?" Hagrid looked at Felik. S.

"If you are referring to the space capsule, it is true. This product is currently disposable. If you want to install other things, you must prepare in advance." Felix said.

"That's it," Hagrid said, stomping on the dead branches. "We got to that place very quickly without many accidents. After wandering in the mountains for a few days, we finally found the cave where the giant lives."

"Aren't you using magic?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, no," Hagrid murmured. "It doesn't matter if you use it on the road, but you can't use it near the giant tribe. Giants don't like magic, they hate wizards, and there are deeper reasons why Dumbledore is worried about mysterious people. A messenger was also sent, so we must be very careful...In short, we took the head with the giant, and according to the method provided by Dumbledore, we successfully sent the gift. This stage is more grueling. You must have patience to dispel the giant’s vigilance. This approach worked, and we stayed in the tribe longer and longer."

Speaking of this, Hagrid suddenly smiled.

"That Gu Ge is the leader of the giant. Although he is lazy and greedy, he unexpectedly loves to listen to stories. Olim and I took the opportunity to say more about Dumbledore. Other giants who know a few words of English came over. Listen, progress is gratifying."

The Forbidden Forest became darker and darker. Felix threw a milky-white ball of light towards the distance, emitting bright and soft white light, illuminating a large area in the forest. In the darkness, the silhouettes of different creatures could be seen vaguely. The glowing eyes are frightening.

This is what the Forbidden Forest looks like at night.

"We gave gifts three times, but an accident happened the third time. We saw Death Eaters."

"Death Eater?" Ron exclaimed.

"What is expected... There are two Death Eaters, one male and one female," Hagrid said. "Like us, they are also regarded as guests by the giants, and the giant leaders stupidly introduce each other to us..."

"You did it?" Sirius asked sensitively.

"Not at the time. Although the two sides hated each other to death, they still reached a tacit understanding and didn't do anything in front of the giant, but—" Hager paused. "From the tribe of giants, we had a private fight. , Ran away. They disappeared for a few days. I thought the two Death Eaters had given up, but then we found out when we were dealing with other giants. They changed their strategy and always gave gifts to the giant leader when we were away. , So we approached the giant leader, and directly confessed to him that he hoped that he would stand on our side... Now that I think about it, I am a little anxious, after all, it is not a business to catch up... Then the Longbottoms appeared, and we only knew about the food. The deceased sent reinforcements. One night, the giant tribe was in a mess, and the shouts were deafening, like thunder. The four of us decided to go out to observe the situation after discussing for a while, secretly, if the giants are holding a bonfire party, we will come back continue to sleep."

There was a complicated expression on his face.

"The Death Eater was a witch, said to be Bellatrix. I didn't see it... She successfully convinced the number two figure in the giant tribe and encouraged him to launch a rebellion in the night and become the leader. Of course we I can’t agree! So I joined the battle. By the end of the day, more than a dozen people died on the Giant’s side, most of them were fratricidal, and one died on the Death Eater’s side. The original Giant leader was chopped off with one arm and power. It's not as good as before. Only two dozen giants are willing to continue to follow him, half of them are his wife and children. The remaining thirty-odd giants form a new tribe, stronger and more brutal. The giant split into two. , The original leader fled into the depths of the mountain, and the new leader was chasing after...If they don't decide the outcome, they won't have time to take care of other things...we're here."

Hagrid stopped suddenly.

The surrounding trees are densely covered, but there is a clearing below them, which seems very unreasonable. The clearing is surrounded by messy branches and several pine trees have been uprooted. They heard a rumbling sound. In the center of the clearing, there was a huge billowing object. With the help of the light from the illumination technique, everyone moved closer.

"Hi~" Ron took two steps back. "Is that... a person?"

What was mistaken for mounds or stones was breathing rhythmically. Harry felt like he was suffocating. The smooth gray thing suddenly moved and grunted loudly-he thought it was a rock, but it didn't look like it was. It was like a big hairy monster magnified countless times.

"My brother, oh—my half-brother." Hagrid said grimly and hoarsely, "I should have never told you, I am a hybrid giant, and my mother left my father after giving birth to me. Another giant, where she gave birth to Glop."

Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other anxiously. They knew Hagrid was a half-blood giant. It was during the fourth-grade prom. Harry and Ron overheard Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim’s conversation. In Ron’s words, Hagrid was a complete fool. He was dazzled by love. He thought he was They were whispering, and the result was not much worse than shouting in their ears.

"Hagrid, is he injured?" Felix asked.

Only then did a few people notice that the rough ‘rock texture’ is actually a series of wounds, and under the soft white light, it can be seen that the wounds have been crusted.

"Yes, I, alas, the first day I placed him in the Forbidden Forest, he made a lot of noise, and it led to Lu Wei, and they had a fierce fight." Hagrid explained. Several people present—Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione’s eyelids throbbed, Felix was also a little speechless, Lu Wei was not a human, but a huge three-headed dog, a kind of equivalent Dangerous magical animals.

"...I have to ask Dumbledore for help," Hagrid said with tears in his eyes. "Dumbledore is a good man. He helped me find medicine for my injuries. I mean, the three-headed dog has bad teeth. To deal with, Lu Wei bit too deeply..."

"My goodness," Hermione said vaguely.

"Yes," Hagrid thought Hermione was echoing him: "Glop can actually heal on his own, but it's too slow, I can't watch him bloody. I plan to teach him some etiquette before Take him to meet people, I am the first to think of you, this will be a good start..."

"Hagrid, what are your plans for his future?" Felix asked softly.

"I, uh, I didn't think about it, actually... it would be nice to let him stay in the forbidden forest. There is no shortage of food here, and there are not many creatures that can harm him," Hagrid said hesitantly, "I think he can do it. My deputy. Of course-after his personality changed." He added hastily, because the three little wizards at the scene seemed to faint.

Harry couldn't imagine the scene Hagrid described in a warm and affectionate tone. He originally thought Hagrid, who was twice the height of a normal person, was considered a giant. Anyone who saw him for the first time would be shocked by Hagrid's huge size. , Such as the Dursleys. Only a few more contacts will I realize that Hagrid is a very friendly person, but now, when he thinks that when Hagrid patrols the forbidden forest, he will be tingled with a purebred giant who is much taller behind him. .

"Hagrid, it- uh, how tall is he?" he couldn't help asking.

"Probably sixteen feet," Hagrid guessed.

"Oh my god, oh my god," Hermione said incoherently.

"So, uh, I'll wake him up, and then—you know, he has a better temper than before, and he only gave me two punches today—while I tried to persuade him to stay here." Hagrid said expectantly. , Pick up a branch from the ground.

"Wh-no," Hermione jumped up, seeming to be frightened. "Well, I mean, I don't understand... Isn't he happy to be here?"

Hagrid stopped, and said with a gloomy expression: "Yes, he always wanted to go back, I brought him out forcibly."

"But why—Mrs. Maxim agreed?" Hermione asked sharply.

"She—well, she understood my approach at first," Hagrid said uneasily. "You haven't seen how Glop was bullied. If you leave it alone, he will definitely be beaten to death by other giants, he , He is too short."

"Short?" Hermione said, "Short?"

"In the giant group, yes." Hagrid said. "When Glop goes mad, Olim will help me subdue him, but it didn't take long for her to get bored. I have to admit, Glop She has a bad mind, and she has a bad temper and is not easy to get along with... After helping me transport Glop to the other side of the strait, she hurriedly left."

"But the situation is improving," Hagrid tried to strengthen their confidence, waving the long branch in front of him: "We have been back for three days, and he hasn't lost his temper all day today. I think this is a good sign. He is about to get used to life here. I can try more intimate contact, such as giving him a hug or something. You know, let him feel that someone values ​​him and likes him, so he won't always want to go back."

Hagrid stabbed the sleeping giant with a branch. The giant roared, and his huge body stretched out~www.readwn.com~A broad palm as large as a parasol rests on the ground, connected to the top of his arm, something that looks like a head. The child moved, and he woke up.

Felix raised his head and watched the crouched giant rise from the ground. According to legend, the giant can draw a tie with the fire dragon, so he is very curious about this creature. Glop has pale skin, a surprisingly large face, and his facial features seem to be cut out of a round stone. The only thing that makes Felix like that is the face of Mad-Eye Moody.

Glop rubbed his eyes vigorously, and then stood up agilely at an alarming speed without warning. Everyone could see more clearly. They looked at his stubby nose, crooked mouth, yellow teeth, muddy brown-green eyes, and they were so shocked that they couldn't speak for a while.

Harry used to think that Classroom 7 was omnipotent, but now he finally knew what was missing. There were no giants in it. The textbooks of the history of magic described giants as nothing like humans, but Harry always thought these descriptions were exaggerated. , Because there are more real examples around him.

Hagrid is a half-giant, but he looks like an extra-large human, but this thing in front of him-this purebred giant, as the book says, is like a deformed humanoid monster.

Felix's gaze fell on the giant's ankle, where a rope was tied, and the other end of the rope was connected to a thick tree in the distance.

Harry, Ron, and Hermione kept stepping back. They didn’t think the magic wand in their hands could bring much comfort. The thing in front of them—well, it’s Hagrid’s half-brother. A finger can crush them to death.

"Roar--"

Gropp let out a deafening roar and pulled the other end of the rope to a creak. Except for the giant in front of him, there was a dead silence in the forbidden forest.
