Harry Potter and Shafik

Chapter 103 Hagrid is back

On Tuesday, when Hilbert went to Hagrid's class in full dress, yes, Hagrid came back.He was not the first person who knew about Hagrid's return. It was last Sunday. Hilbert took Daphne, Aleena, Draco and Astoria to Hogsmoor as usual. Draco and Astoria walked ahead holding hands.Daphne didn't hold Hilbert's hand, but walked side by side with Hilbert. They didn't have any conflicts. Instead, it was because of the matter between Aleena and Colin Creevey. Perhaps that sentence came true. Right: Two people with different identities cannot be together because of the limitations of the times they live in.The two parted peacefully.From now on, we are just friends and classmates.For this kind of thing, Hill also finds it very troublesome.But he felt that time could still dilute everything.

After the three girls violently yelled and bought, Hilbert and Draco touched the shriveled wallet and wept silently.Finally took a break at the Three Broomsticks.At this moment Hermione came in.

Hermione turned from the dark, snowy window, and smiled, "Hagrid is back."

Hilbert excused them to go to the bathroom and distracted everyone and Harroch to go to Hagrid's hut wearing the invisibility cloak.

Came to the quiet snow.Harry's heart beat violently at the sight of the small golden light ahead and the green smoke curling from Hagrid's chimney.He quickened his pace, and the other three stumbled after him.They walked excitedly through the snow to the wooden door. Harry raised his hand and knocked three times, and a dog barked wildly inside.

"Hagrid, it's us!" Harry yelled into the keyhole.

"Should have thought of it!" said a hoarse voice.

They smiled at each other under the cloak, and Hagrid's voice was happy. "Just came back three seconds. Get out of the way, Fang! Get out of the way, you sleepy bastard!"

There was a sound of pulling the latch, and the door creaked open, revealing Hagrid's head through the crack.

Hagrid's hair was disheveled and covered with blood clots, his left eye was swollen and bruised, his face and hands were bruised, some were still bleeding, and he moved so carefully that Harry suspected he might A rib is broken.He had obviously just arrived home, a thick black traveling cloak draped over the back of a chair, and a large rucksack large enough for several children was propped against the wall.Hagrid, who was twice as tall and three times as wide as a normal man, limped to the fire and set a copper kettle on the fire.

"What happened to you?" Harry asked, Fang bouncing around them, licking their faces.Hilbert didn't like this dog very much, his mouth was full of saliva.It is not a small trouble for people with cleanliness.

I said, it's all right. said Hagrid stubbornly. "A cup of tea?" "

"Forget it," said Ron, "look at you!"

"Tell you I'm fine," said Hagrid, straightening up, turning to them and smiling, but frowning in pain. "Ah, it's good to see you all - nice summer, eh?"

"Hagrid, have you been attacked?" Ron asked.

"No one can beat me. None."

"Come on, Hagrid, your wounds are all from top to bottom, unless they are taller than you, otherwise it is impossible to be like this, and they are all similar to the wounds caused by sticks. A wizard will beat you with a club?" Hilbert said, staring at Hagrid's scar.

"You should show Madam Pomfrey, Hagrid," said Hermione anxiously, "some of the wounds look dangerous." "I'll take care of that, okay?" said Hagrid sternly.He walked to the huge wooden table in the middle of the hut, and took off a tea towel on the table. Underneath was a piece of raw, bloody green meat, slightly bigger than an ordinary car tire.

"You can't eat that, Hagrid?" Ron leaned in to look. "It looks poisonous."

"That's what it looks like, dragon meat," said Hagrid. "I'm not going to eat it."

He picked up the dragon meat and put it on his left cheek, green blood dripping onto his beard, and he snorted with satisfaction. "It's better, it's analgesic."

"Don't move, Hagrid, let me use this." Hilbert took out the acne medicine powder and dabbed some of it on Hagrid's face with his little finger.

"Can you tell us what happened to you?" Harry asked. "No, Harry, this is absolutely confidential, I can't tell you, my job can't cover the responsibility."

"Did the giant hit you, Hagrid?" Hermione asked softly.Hagrid let go of his hand, and the dragon meat Guji slid onto his chest. "Giant?" Hagrid grabbed the dragonflesh before it slid down the belt and reapplied it to his face. "Who said giant? Who did you talk to? Who told you—who said I—huh?" We guessed," said Hermione apologetically. "Oh, you guessed it, didn't you?" Hagrid examined her sternly with the eye that wasn't covered by the dragon's meat. "Quite?? Obvious," said Ron, and Harry nodded.Hagrid stared at them, then snorted, threw the dragon meat back on the table, and walked over to the whining kettle. "I've never seen a kid your age know so many things he shouldn't know," he muttered, pouring the boiled water into three bucket-shaped cups, "I'm not complimenting you. Some people call it—inquire. Mind your own business.” But his beard was twitching. "You went to find the giant?" Harry asked with a smile as he sat down at the table.

Hagrid put the teacups in front of everyone, sat down, and took the dragon meat again and applied it to his face. "Well, there it is," he muttered. "Found them?" Hermione asked breathlessly.

"They're not that hard to find, to be honest," said Hagrid, "and they're big." "Where are they?" asked Ron. "In the mountains," Hagrid replied vaguely. "Then why don't Muggles—" "No," said Hagrid in a low voice, "it's just that their deaths are always said to be climbing accidents, don't they?" He moved the dragon meat over the worst scars. "Hagrid, tell us what you did!" said Ron. "Tell us about being attacked by giants, and Harry can tell about being attacked by dementors—" Hagrid choked, and the dragon meat He also fell, he coughed again and again, a lot of saliva, tea and dragon blood splashed on the table, and the dragon meat slid to the ground with a thud. "What did you say, attacked by dementors?" Hagrid said loudly. "Don't you know?" Hermione asked, her eyes widening. "During the holidays, the Ministry of Magic sent two dementors to attack Harry, and used this as an excuse to try Harry for committing a crime against underage wizards not using magic. Fortunately, the principal and Hill shezhan the court. The Ministry of Magic withdrew the complaint ’ said Hermione.

"Then, they sent Fudge's cronies, Dolores Umbridge, to teach at the school. The students were physically punished and the teachers fired, and we formed the Wizarding Union without telling them to learn Defense Against the Dark Arts."

Hilbert followed Hermione.

Hagrid patted his thigh angrily and continued.

"We're leaving as soon as term ends—"

"Is Madame Maxime with you?" interrupted Hermione.

"Yes," said Hagrid, with a gentle expression on the part of his face not hidden by the beard and dragon meat, "it was the two of us. I tell you, Orim is not afraid of hardship. You know, she An elegant, well-dressed lady. I knew where we were going, and I was afraid she wouldn't stand climbing rocks and sleeping in caves, but she never once complained."

"Do you know where you are going?" Harry asked. "Do you know where the Giant is?"

"Dumbledore knew, he told us."

"Are the giants hiding?" asked Ron. "Is it a secret where they are?"

"Not exactly," said Hagrid, shaking his shaggy head, "it's just that a lot of wizards don't care where they are, as long as they're far away. But where giants live is hard to get into, at least for humans. So We need guidance from Dumbledore. It took us a month to find the place—”

"Don't you have the blood of giants? Why can't you find them?" Hilbert asked.

"Dumbledore wants them to join us, let them think that we were good to them before, right? But that was when my mother was the patriarch, and people were still willing to listen to Dumbledore. Now that she is dead, the relationship between me and the giant The lineage connection is broken, and I can't find them."

"A month?" said Ron, as if he'd never heard of such a long journey, "but—why don't you take the Portkey?"

Hagrid looked at Ron with a strange expression that bordered on pity in the exposed eye.

"We're being watched, Ron," he said gruffly.

"What do you mean?"

"You don't understand that the Ministry is watching Dumbledore and people they think are with him—" "We know," said Harry hastily, eager to hear Hagrid's story, "we know the Ministry is watching Dumbledore." Lido--" "So you can't use magic?" Ron asked in shock, "You can only be Muggles all the way?" "Not all the way," said Hagrid slyly, "We just have to be careful because I And Orim, a bit bigger--" Ron let out a forced snort, and quickly took a big sip of tea.

So it's easy to be tracked.We pretended to be on holiday together, so we went to France and pretended we were going to Orim's school because we knew the Ministry of Magic was following us.We'll just have to go slowly because I can't use magic and know the Ministry is looking for excuses to detain us.But near Diyilong we finally got rid of that tail—”

"Oh, Dijon?" said Hermione excitedly, "I'm going on holiday there, did you see—"

Seeing Ron's face, she fell silent.

"We'll talk about Dijon later, let's talk about the key points first," Hilbert said.

"Then we got a chance to use a bit of magic, and the trip wasn't bad. We met two crazy trolls on the Polish border, and I had a little trouble with a vampire in a bar in Minsk, but apart from that, it couldn't have been smoother. up.

"Vampire? Where did it come from?"

"I heard it's from Fox Town, USA."

"We found that place and started walking up the mountains looking for signs of them," and once we got there, we had to put away our magic again.One is that giants don't like wizards, and we don't want to piss them off too early; and Dumbledore warns us that You-Know-Who must be looking for giants, too, and may have sent emissaries.He told us to be very careful in that area, not to expose ourselves, to prevent Death Eaters from being around. "

Hagrid stopped and took a long sip of tea.

"Say it!" Harry urged impatiently.

"Found it," said Hagrid bluntly. "Crossed the ridge one night and they were down there, little campfire, huge shadow?? Like the mountain was moving."

"How big is it?" Ron asked breathlessly.

"About twenty feet," said Hagrid casually, "the big ones might be twenty-five."

"How many?" Harry asked.

"I think there are seventy or eighty."

"Is it all there?" Hermione asked.

"Aren't they afraid of being exposed?" Hilbert asked.

"Well," said Hagrid sadly, "there's only so much left. There used to be a lot, at least a hundred tribes all over the world, but they gradually died out. Of course, wizards killed some, but most of them were cannibalistic." They are dying faster now, they are not suitable for living together like that. Dumbledore said it was our fault, the wizard drove them far away, and they had no choice but to stay together in order to survive. "

"So," said Harry, "you saw the giant, and what happened next?"

"We waited until morning, not to sneak over at night, just to be safe," said Hagrid. "They fell asleep where they were around three o'clock in the morning. We didn't dare to sleep, either for fear some giant would wake up and climb up, and One was terribly snoring. It caused an avalanche towards dawn.

"We'll go down after dawn."

"That's it?" Ron asked in awe. "You went straight into the giant's camp?"

"Dumbledore told us what to do," said Hagrid. "Give Goog a present, in honor."

"Gift for whom?" Harry asked.

"Oh, Gugo—that's the leader."

"How do you know which is Googo?" Ron asked.

Hagrid laughed.

"Make no mistake, he's the biggest, ugliest, laziest, and sits there waiting for someone to bring him something to eat, dead sheep or something. His name is Cacus. I reckon he's 22 three feet tall and weighs two bull elephants .Skin like a rhino."

"You just walked up?" Hermione asked nervously.

"Well, go down, and he's lying in the valley. They're staying in a depression between four high mountains, near a mountain lake. Cacus is lying by the lake, roaring to be fed to him and his wife. I'm with Orim went down the hill."

"But didn't they try to kill you?" Ron asked in disbelief.

"Someone must have thought so," Hagrid shrugged, "but we did what Dumbledore said, holding the gift high, keeping our eyes on Gogo, and ignoring the others. Just like that, the others fell silent." , watching us walk over, we walked all the way to Kakus' feet, bowed, and put the gift in front of him."

"What gift for the giant?" Ron asked interestedly, "Eat?"

"No, he can get his own food," said Hagrid. "We gave him magic. Giants like magic, they just don't like us using it against them. Anyway, we gave him a Gubly jelly the first day." fire."

Hermione gave a small wow, but both Harry and Ron frowned.

"One...?"

"Eternal fire," said Hermione impatiently. "You should know that Professor Flitwick mentioned it at least twice in class!"

"The legend is a sapling of the eternal flame in Northern Europe. Giants are in a primitive society. Their pursuit of eternal flame and warmth is higher than food." Hilbert stroked his hair and said.

"Anyway," said Hagrid quickly, before Ron could reply, "Dumbledore magically made this torch burn forever, which is not something ordinary wizards can do. I put it in the snow at Cacus' feet." ground, said: "A gift from Albus Dumbledore to the giant Googo, in honor. "'" What did Kakus say? ' asked Harry eagerly.

"Nothing," said Hagrid, "he won't speak our words."

"You're kidding!"

"It doesn't matter," said Hagrid calmly. "Dumbledore warned that this might happen. Fortunately, Cacus called two giants who understand our language and interpreted for us."

"Did he like the present?" Ron asked.

"Like, there was a commotion in the camp as soon as they figured out what it was." Hagrid turned the dragon meat over, putting the cool side up against his swollen eye. "They were very happy. That's when I said, "Albus Dumbledore sent a message that when the emissary brought gifts tomorrow, he asked Gu Ge to talk to him. "'"Why didn't you talk to them that day? ' asked Hilbert.

"Dumbledore told us to take our time and let the giants see that we keep our promises. Bring presents tomorrow. If you do bring them, it will give them a good impression. And let them sometimes ask to test the first gift and find that It's good stuff, want more. Anyway, giants like Cacus - talk a lot at once and they'll kill you. Simple thing. So we bowed and backed away and found a cozy little cave for the night , When I went back the next morning, I saw Kakus waiting for us eagerly."

"Have you talked to him?"

"Yeah, let's give him a beautiful helmet first—made by goblins, it's indestructible, and then we'll sit down and talk."

"what did he say?"

"I didn't say anything, mainly listening. But the signs are good. He has heard of Dumbledore and knows that he is against killing the last batch of giants in Britain. Cacus seems to be very interested in Dumbledore's words. Several people also Come around and listen, especially those who know a little English. We left hopeful, promising to bring another present the next day.

"But something went wrong that night."

"What do you mean?" Ron asked quickly.

"As I said, giants don't fit together," said Hagrid mournfully, "not in groups that big. They can't help themselves, and they beat each other to death every few weeks. Men fight men." , women fighting women. Remnants of those old tribes fighting back and forth, not counting fights over food, fire, and sleeping quarters. Seeing their entire race go extinct, you'd think they'd stop killing each other, but……"

Hagrid sighed deeply.

"There was a bad fight that night, we saw it at the mouth of the cave, down in the valley below. It was fought for hours, so loud you wouldn't believe it. The snow was red when the sun came out, and his head sank in the bottom of the lake."

"How did you get away?" Harry asked.

"I wouldn't be able to get out if it wasn't for Orim," said Hagrid. "She pulled out her wand and cast some of the fastest spells I've ever seen in my life. It's amazing. The eye sickness spell hit those two guys eyes, and they dropped me right away--but it was troublesome, because we cast magic on the giants, and that's why giants hated wizards. We had to run away, knowing we couldn't go into the camp again.

"So the giants refused to cooperate with us and instead joined Voldemort?" Harry asked.

"Yes," said Hagrid darkly, "two of them came to him every day with presents, and he didn't hang them up."

"How do you know it's Death Eaters?" Ron asked.

"Because I recognized him, McNeil. Crazy man, murderous like a tall horse, no wonder they're so opportunistic."

"McNeil persuaded the giant to join forces with You-Know-Who?" Hermione said desperately.

"No, there are still most of the people who are unwilling to seek refuge. We tried to persuade them, but they were... just... all killed in one night." Hagrid began to cry as he spoke.

The four hurried up to appease Hagrid. "We buried them, and a giant—"

But his words were drowned out by a sudden knock on the door.Hermione gasped, and the glass in her hand fell to the floor and shattered.Tooth screamed.Five people stared at the window next to the door, and a squat figure swayed on the thin curtains.

"It's her!" Ron whispered.

"Get in!" Harry hurriedly grabbed the Invisibility Cloak and put it on himself, Hermione, and Hilbert, and Ron also ran over and got into the Invisibility Cloak.The four of them retreated into a corner crowded together.Fang Ya barked at the door.Hagrid seemed completely bewildered.

"Hagrid, hide our cups!" Hilbert whispered.

Hagrid grabbed Harry's and Ron's teacups and stuffed them under Fang's basket mat.Fangya was jumping and scratching at the door.Hagrid pushed it aside with his foot and pulled the door open.

Professor Umbridge stood in the doorway, wearing her green tweed cloak and a hat with flaps of the same colour.She pursed her lips and leaned back so she could see Hagrid's face, not even reaching his belly button.

"So," she said slowly and loudly, as if addressing a deaf man, "you're Hagrid, aren't you?"

Before Hagrid could answer, she went into the room, her toad eyes rolling around.

"Go away." She yelled at Fang, waving her purse, as it jumped up to her and tried to lick her face.

"Er - I don't mean to be rude," said Hagrid, glaring at her, "but who the hell are you?"

"My name is Dolores Umbridge."
