Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 386

c372 The giants of the Alps

During the remaining half of the summer vacation, Professor Dumbledore barely showed up.

The only time he appeared in the hall of the Order of the Phoenix was to ask Harry if he would be the Gryffindor prefect this year.

For this kind of position, Harley naturally does her part.

As for who the male prefect was, Professor Dumbledore didn’t mention it, and Harry didn’t ask much.

Besides, the rest of Harry’s time was spent hanging out with Hermione in the library at Black’s old mansion.

Regardless of the ugly look on his dear ancestor Phineas’s face, Sirius waved his hand and allowed all members of the Order of the Phoenix to freely borrow ancient magical books from the Black family’s library.

Phineas almost quarreled with Sirius over this. After all, these were books that the Black family had collected for hundreds of years.

Phineas was already a little unhappy when Sirius allowed Harry and Hermione to enter.

In the end, the old headmaster Black comforted himself with the reason that “Harry is a descendant of the Potter family and Sirius’s godson”, and he just managed to feel better.

As a result, Sirius has now done this again, so casually showing the library to outsiders for reading, which is completely unacceptable to Phineas, a traditional pure-blood wizard who cares about Black.

Of course Phineas eventually discovered that he was worrying too much.

Adult wizards all have their own tasks to do. When they have a rare break, they just want to relax and don’t want to come back and read hard.

As for the residents who have lived in the old Black mansion for a long time, Mrs. Weasley is busy designing more delicious dishes every day.

Ron would rather play wizard chess with himself or compete with his summer homework than step foot here.

In the end, only Harry, Hermione and the Weasley twins often stayed here, while Ginny came here occasionally, and only studied jinxes when she came.

But although Harley herself was still sitting here reading books, her main consciousness was no longer here.

…………

Alps, in a forest.

The expedition, made up of many Muggle friends, was traveling through the woods, following an unofficial route.

“Will we be in danger if we do this?”

Looking at the still-melting snow on the mountains in summer, a white female college student frowned and asked.

“What are you afraid of?” The leading male college student raised the mini submachine gun in his hand.

“I took out all the mini-submachine guns that my father collected, and I also brought a lot of magazines.”

“This is a high-end product originally supplied to the army. If my father hadn’t been so powerful, he wouldn’t be qualified to collect it.”

“And in this wilderness, at most a leopard and a tiger can emerge, and at most a few bears.”

“How many bullets can those beasts carry?”

“At worst, if there is real danger, then ask the government for help.” Another boy said nonchalantly,

“Those rescue teams should be serving us with our taxpayers’ money!”

The blond girl on the side also laughed at the girl who spoke before:

“If you’re scared, go back. Anyway, it’s not the first time you’ve been so timid.”

The girl took a sharp breath and was about to retort when she suddenly stopped.

To be precise, the entire group of them stopped, their eyes dull.

As a breeze blew by, the expedition team seemed to remember something important, and immediately changed direction and headed down the mountain.

Their eyes gradually regained their agility and vitality, almost exactly the same as before, without any abnormalities.

Only the leading boy had a grain of shiny sand on his shoulder.

The sand was very inconspicuous, and quickly got into the gaps in the clothes and disappeared without a trace.

An eye suddenly opened on the boy’s back, glanced around, and then slowly closed again.

But the other boy walking behind him was unaware of this and was still talking and laughing with his girlfriend beside him.

…………

If the expedition had taken a few steps further, they would have crashed into a big tree.

This big tree is more than fifty meters tall, standing out among the surrounding trees with an average height of no more than five meters.

Even if you climb to the top of the mountain, you can still see this strange tree at a glance.

But the eyes of the Muggle expedition seemed to be blinded by something, and they were unable to detect its existence at all.

On the branches of this big tree, Hedwig flapped her wings proudly and asked for credit to the owner beside her:

“Sister Harley, how are you using my psychological invisibility and hypnosis skills?”

“It’s not bad, at least it didn’t embarrass me.”

Harley’s legs were shaking, and her shoes were dangling slightly on her toes, as if they would fall off at any moment.

She rubbed the head of the little owl next to her while giving Hedwig encouragement.

Hedwig suddenly raised her head proudly and flapped her wings twice.

“Don’t get too proud too soon,” Harry looked at Hedwig who seemed a little proud and couldn’t help but smile.

“Those are just a group of ordinary people. Any ordinary Sequence Six hypnotist can complete your previous mission.”

“Not to mention that you are now a Sequence Five Dream Walker. You should have higher requirements for yourself.”

“Well… when we capture the giant immediately, it’s up to you to do it yourself.”

“Huh? Me?” The smile on Hedwig’s face suddenly froze.

She tilted her head and said with a slight stutter,

“Sister Harley…such…such an important task, you should complete it yourself.”

“What if I ruin your promotion ceremony, then… that’s really… that’s really… ah!”

Following Hedwig’s somewhat exaggerated scream, Harley withdrew her right hand in annoyance.

“Stop pretending, do you still want to have your brains broken?” Seeing that the little snowy owl continued to suffer miserably, Harley said angrily,

“You won’t be able to deal with a single giant? Those giants only have the power of sequence five levels at most.”

“And they don’t have the extraordinary abilities of the warrior path. At most, they are rough-skinned and thick-skinned. They are highly resistant to magic, but they are relatively weak in terms of soul and spirit.”

“You are the audience channel. You can completely restrain him just by traveling through the dream world.”

Seeing that she could not escape the fate of the first battle, Hedwig had no choice but to accept the reality.

“Let’s go, this is the last magic node.”

Harley gently patted the tree trunk next to her. A green witch mark instantly appeared on the tree, and the mark disappeared instantly.

Harley shook slightly on her toes, and the black leather shoes that were constantly shaking were put on instantly.

At the same time, she gently pushed the tree trunk with both hands, jumped down from the air, and stretched her body to her heart’s content.

A gust of wind blew through the forest, turning into invisible hands to support Harley and help her fly forward.

Hedwig hurriedly flapped her wings and chased Harry all the way.

…………

In the rolling mountains, in the snow under a certain ridge.

There sat a group of huge, ugly humanoid creatures.

They were about twenty feet tall, with the tallest being a full twenty-five feet tall.

Under the thick shit-yellow hair, there are round little heads, and even smaller eyes that reveal stupidity and violence.

At this time, the tallest giant was sitting next to a small bonfire, holding a wooden stick in his hand with an unpeeled wild boar strung on it.

The giants on the side were staring at the wild boar, drooling greedily.

However, looking at the thick iron rod next to the leader, which was the only thick iron rod in the entire tribe, the giants still swallowed silently, not having the courage to snatch it.

Perhaps they couldn’t bear the stimulation of the scent, and several giants suddenly stood up together, but they did not have the courage to charge towards the leader, but instead slammed into the elderly giant next to them.

Although the old giant is older, he is still as brutal as before, and he also fights back fiercely.

After a while, large patches of scarlet appeared on the pure white snow.

And above this ridge, Harley was lying on a magic cloud, with Hedwig standing on her shoulders.

“Are there only so many giants?” Hedwig flapped her wings regretfully,

“Just over a hundred years old, how can such a small race be able to sustain the Sequence One ceremony?”

“It doesn’t matter, these vulgar creatures are just adding to the mix.” Harley stared coldly at the tragic massacre of the same race taking place below,

“Bloody and violent, they have no brains. Even if the race is about to be exterminated, they still don’t know how to unite. They only know how to kill each other without any purpose.”

“I remember that according to the records of some pure-blood families, there were more than 800 giants who left the UK. As a result, only a hundred are now killing each other.”

“I feel disgusted if such a race is really used as the main material in the ceremony to be promoted to Archangel.”

“Then what should we do next?” Hedwig did not complain anymore, but asked obediently,

“Just lie down here and wait for the giants to leave?”

“No need to wait.” Harley stood up from the cloud, and the color of the white clouds under her feet changed little by little.

“The wind is picking up, the clouds are gathering, and it’s getting dark. It’s time for a heavy rain.”

With a rumble of thunder, a downpour mixed with hail instantly covered the earth!

Below, the giant leader was tearing off the roasted black skin of the wild boar and stuffing it into his mouth, revealing the raw pork that still smelled of blood inside.

The heavy rain poured down on his head without any bias, causing the giant leader to roar suddenly.

However, his unintelligent head can still think clearly. This kind of weather change is not something he can interfere with.

So the giant leader held a wild boar in one hand and a steel rod in the other, and rushed towards a certain cave crazily.

The surrounding giants also ran towards the empty cave, and a small-scale battle even broke out.

After a while, all the caves were filled to the brim, and the injuries of the two elderly giants who were already injured worsened again.

Their limbs were bleeding, and they fell to the ground in pain, moaning feebly.

However, these elderly giants seemed to be “lucky”. The hail completely bypassed them, allowing them to breathe.

There were also a dozen giants who were still able to move. They had no place to go, and they couldn’t bear the hailstorm, so they could only protect their heads with wooden sticks and run wildly in all directions.

A certain giant was very lucky. He was only hit twice on the back of the head by hailstones and managed to escape from the rainstorm zone.

The giant shook his head and walked to a big tree with satisfaction and lay down.

Although the hail and heavy rain did not cause much harm to him, they also made him feel very uncomfortable.

As a well-known dwarf among the entire giant clan, he is only taller than another dwarf, Grawp, who is 16 feet tall. He is not qualified to enjoy a good place to live.

He was very satisfied now that he could lie down under the tree.

After the giant lay down, he suddenly felt very tired.

There were sounds of birdsong in his ears. Usually he would be excited to catch prey, but now he just wanted to sleep.

The giant finally closed his eyes, and soon a thunderous snoring sounded in the snow.

A snowy owl appeared in mid-air with its wings flapping, looking at the dirty giant below with a disgusted face.

After a moment’s hesitation, the owl swooped down and hit the giant’s head.

However, there was no collision. The moment the two came into contact, the owl’s body became a little unreal and merged directly into it.

Less than ten minutes later, the little owl flew out again, his face full of sadness and anger.

“Is it done?” Harley emerged quietly and asked with interest.

“It’s done, the hypnotic seeds have been planted.” Hedwig said quickly,

“But I won’t do this kind of work again next time! I’d rather fight the fire dragon head-on!”

“Hey, why?” Harley blinked,

“Originally, you had to go through a fierce battle, but now I have lowered the difficulty and only let you face the sleeping giant…”

“That’s because you have no idea what this dirty giant is thinking!” Hedwig interrupted Harley for the first time.

“He, he, he… he actually dreamed of eating a live wild boar alive, and eating one of three in front of all the giants, making them jealous!”

“That’s not the point. The point is that you don’t know how big his mouth is in the dream! His mouth is three times the size of his head. It’s not magical at all!”

Harry burst out laughing, even to the point where his stomach ached, and he had no time to comfort Hedwig.

Hedwig looked at the owner in front of her angrily, flapped her wings vigorously, and jumped directly to the tree.

“What a poor child. He still has too little experience and lacks exercise.”

Harley finally stopped laughing, shook her head, walked to the giant, and adjusted the glasses on her face.

“Get up, you silly guy!”

Harley lightly stepped on the giant’s face. Although she didn’t use much force, it seemed like a terrifying bell was ringing in the giant’s ears.

“Ouch!” The giant woke up instantly and jumped up.

However, Harley was not brought down by him. Instead, she spun around in mid-air and landed firmly on the ground.

When the giant saw Harley, he was stunned for a moment and subconsciously wanted to lift the stick.

But a silver light flashed in his eyes.

After a moment, the giant seemed to have remembered something. He slowly knelt down and said in the broken English he had just learned:

“Slave… Gao Gaoma… I have met Master Gu Ge…”
