Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 411

c395 Hagrid’s return

When none of the seven defenses can hold on, there is no need to continue the game.

Although the Slytherin players did not need to go to the school hospital, they could just change brooms and continue the game.

But it can be seen that Harley’s previous play on them still had a great impact on all the players on the field.

The members of the Gryffindor team seemed to be on fire, roaming freely in the Slytherin half, as if they were visiting their own back garden.

But the entire Slytherin team was in a state of despair, sleepwalking throughout the whole process, looking like headless flies, with no idea what they should do.

If they didn’t know that the only people who could join this team were young men from pure-blood families who were not short of money, I’m afraid some people would really suspect that they were buying peripherals.

The auditorium occupied by the Slytherin snakes was also silent, and many young wizards even left early.

What are you doing here? Are you waiting to lose the game steadily and then be ridiculed by those stupid lions? Forget it, the little snakes will be embarrassed if they think about it now.

When Katie caught the Golden Snitch, the game finally ended, with the score fixed at 490-30, and cheers erupted once again on and off the court.

Even the members of the Slytherin team breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer having to endure torture and suffering.

But after returning home, they probably had to be scolded severely in meetings.

Playing with snake skin, it’s really 490 to 30, I can do it! What’s the use of you?

RNM, refund your money!

On the night of the victory, the entire Gryffindor was celebrating. All kinds of snacks and drinks were piled up in the common room to celebrate this victory after a year and a half.

The Weasley twins even sneaked out of the school quietly and bought several large bottles of Firewhiskey from the Hog’s Head Bar.

So the Gryffindor common room was soon filled with a bunch of people, all of them drunk.

Only Ron was in a bad mood. It was obvious that the song had a great impact on him.

In fact, after hearing that song, almost all the students in Gryffindor gasped. After all, this is almost an insult to Gryffindor by name!

But since they won the game, all Slytherin’s actions seemed to be incompetent and furious, so the little lions also “magnanimously” chose not to care about it.

Of course, the more fatal reason was that Professor McGonagall was watching from the side, so the students did not dare to take action.

Otherwise, the Slytherin group would have been beaten into pig heads long ago.

But at some point, Harry and Hermione were missing from the celebrating team.

Because they saw the lights of the wooden house next to the hunting ground from the window, Hagrid was back.

…………

Hagrid’s return was quiet, and no one, including Professor Dumbledore, knew about his return.

This doesn’t quite fit Hagrid’s character. After all, he is Professor Dumbledore’s number one fan and disciple.

Even Professor Dumbledore’s cold jokes that could freeze someone to death, Hagrid was able to understand the humor and not embarrass the principal.

It was impossible for him not to report to the principal about such a big thing as returning from a mission.

But now Hagrid is indeed hiding Dumbledore, after all, there is nothing he can do.

Who allowed Hagrid to bring a “weak” child who could not be seen in the light, that is, his biological brother, a giant with pure blood?

At this time, Hagrid was staying in his hut, with tea boiling on the stove.

As for him, he was dealing with the dragon meat used to apply on his face with a sad face, while thinking about how to deal with his poor, stupid brother.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door of the hut.

Hagrid was startled, and Fang suddenly barked.

“Hagrid, it’s us!”

When he heard a familiar voice coming from the window, Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and quickly pulled out the door bolt.

The wooden door slowly opened, making a creaking sound.

“I should have thought of it.” Hagrid whispered into the air, “I have just been back for less than a minute, and you are here… come in quickly.”

After hearing the footsteps, Hagrid immediately closed the door carefully, locked it, and tightened all the curtains.

Beside the table, the phantom curse was lifted, and two figures slowly emerged.

“Hagrid…”

After releasing the phantom state, Hermione was about to speak, but immediately covered her mouth in horror.

At this moment, she had just used the light to see Hagrid’s current situation clearly.

Hagrid’s hair was messy, as if it hadn’t been taken care of in months, and there were blood clots on it that had solidified.

His left eye was swollen to a slit, blue and purple, making people question whether he could still see clearly.

And all of his skin exposed to the air, including his cheeks, was scarred, and some wounds were still dripping blood onto the floor.

Hagrid moved very carefully when walking. His left arm drooped abnormally, but his whole body tilted to the right.

From this weird posture, it is easy to see that he has broken bones in at least two places on his body.

Judging from the layout of the room, Hagrid had indeed just arrived home.

At this time, the floor of the wooden house had been swept clean, but there was dust on the windows and cupboards, and there were no quilts on the bed.

A thick black traveling cloak was draped over the back of the chair. The snow on it had not completely melted, and there were faint traces of blood.

Another large backpack, as tall as an adult wizard, was leaning against the wall. It also had coagulated blood clots on it.

When Hagrid saw the two of them, he had a silly smile on his face and wanted to go to the stove to get the tea that had been boiled.

But Harry stopped him: “Hagrid, just stand still!”

“What?” Hagrid’s ears were probably hurt a little, and he looked at Harry in confusion.

“I’m telling you to stand still so as not to aggravate the injury. Now I’m going to treat you first.”

With that said, Harry took out his wand and took out two transparent glass bottles from his pocket, which contained light gray and dark purple potions.

She waved her wand lightly, and the two bottles instantly flew into the air, then exploded.

The glass shards were directly erased by the disappearing spell, while the potion liquid was suspended in mid-air.

“Clear water like a spring!”

A stream of water poured down from mid-air, and was thoughtfully heated to a warm state.

The blood around Hagrid’s wound was quickly cleaned away, and the dark purple liquid followed closely, covering his wound.

The light gray liquid went directly into his mouth and quickly spread in Hagrid’s body.

Along with a crisp sound, Hagrid’s broken bones quickly recovered.

“Cyclone sweep!” “Dry quickly!”

Hermione also realized what she should do and waved her wand in cooperation.

Hagrid’s moleskin coat, already soaked by the water, quickly heated up and the water evaporated instantly.

In less than five minutes, Hagrid returned to the look familiar to Harry and Hermione.

He waved his arms, turned around again, and said in surprise:

“It’s great. I didn’t expect these injuries to recover so well! I thought it would take half a month to fully recover.”

Only then did Hermione have the time to ask a series of questions:

“Hagrid, why haven’t you come to school during this time? Are you going to the Alps to look for giants?”

“And the injuries on your body were caused by those giants?”

“No, most of the wounds seem to have appeared recently. The time doesn’t match up. Could it be other creatures?”

“I’m not, I didn’t, don’t talk nonsense!”

When he heard the words “Alps” and “Giant”, Hagrid’s face was instantly panicked, and he sat up straight.

“The wounds on my body are just…well, I just fell down accidentally. Yes, that’s it.”

Seeing Hermione’s suspicious eyes, Hagrid’s face became more and more panicked, and he started to perform poorly:

“Ah, the injuries on my body have healed, and I feel much better. I think I should leave the hut and go to the forbidden forest to stretch my muscles…”

“Hagrid, don’t forget who treated your injury.” Harley reminded him abruptly.

“I can heal your wounds, do you think I can’t see the extent of these injuries?”

“These wounds are obviously caused by giants, and there is also the unique aura on your body that has not dissipated. Well… should you confess it yourself, or should I say it for you?”

Listening to the slightly upward sound at the end and looking at the evil smile, the expression on Hagrid’s face became more and more horrified.

“Okay, okay, I give up. Damn it, you guys are so knowledgeable.”

Seeing that he had already said this, Hagrid could only raise his hands in surrender.

“Although it is confidential information, I should be able to reveal a little bit. After all, you have all guessed it… During the time when I disappeared, I followed Professor Dumbledore’s instructions and went to the Alps to look for giants.”

Hermione exclaimed subconsciously, and Harry also had a look of inquiry on his face.

Although she also took a trip to the Alps during her summer vacation, and had a “pleasant” exchange with a certain giant and reached a consensus.

It’s a pity that Gao Gaoma’s IQ cannot convey much useful information other than some information about his location.

And his clone also had a task to do, and had been collecting materials, but accidentally came across the scene of Hagrid and Ms. Maxim escaping in the Alps.

So she wanted to hear Hagrid’s description of this amazing journey.

“Well, let me think about where to start…”

Hagrid scratched his hair, frowned and thought,

“After the summer vacation started, I first went to Olim’s school under the pretext of going to Beauxbatons for exchange.”

“After all, the relationship between Professor Dumbledore and the Ministry of Magic was very tense at the time. I was afraid that someone would spy on me, so I had no choice but to choose this method.”

“After that, Olim took me to the Alps and was more than happy to accept Professor Dumbledore’s commission to assist me.”

“We’re pretty sure the giants are in that mountain range, after all the French Ministry of Magic has kept records of it.”

“After arriving in the Alps, we had to stop using magic. After all, giants don’t like wizards, and we don’t want to anger them yet.”

“In addition, Dumbledore also warned us that Voldemort will definitely send Death Eaters to contact the giants, so we cannot expose ourselves in advance.”

“Then what?” Hermione asked in time.

Hagrid took a sip of tea and shook his head vigorously: “We easily found the giant below the ridge.”

“After all, the book says that their average height is twenty feet, and the tallest is even twenty-five. Such a large body is very easy to identify.”

“It’s a pity that there are not many giants left. There are only more than 80 left. When they fled from England, there were obviously more than 800.”

“We were originally going to follow Professor Dumbledore’s instructions to contact their leader, but we didn’t go at the right time.”

Hearing this, Harley blinked. She roughly determined the time when Hagrid and Ms. Maxime would arrive.

“When we arrived, civil strife broke out among the giants, a cruel and bloody rebellion.” Hagrid looked frightened.

“It turns out that the leader of the giants is Cacus, a giant who is twenty-three feet tall, has two powerful heads, and has skin like a rhinoceros.”

“He was the biggest, the ugliest, and the laziest, and he sat there waiting for the other giants to offer him dead sheep and deer to eat.”

“We originally brought gifts, but when we were about to come out of the cave, another giant suddenly appeared out of nowhere.”

“The giant’s tall horse is twenty-six feet tall, even higher than the tallest giant recorded in the book.”

“He easily overturned the ordinary giants around him, and smashed Kakus’s arms with just two sticks. He chopped off Kakus’s head with a machete polished from bones, and became the new giant Gugo. .”

“Our original plan was forced to terminate, and we could only wait until the next day to visit Gao Gaoma with gifts.”

“It’s a pity that Gao Gaoma is not interested in us, and accepted the kindness of the Death Eaters in front of us, and turned around to hunt us down.”

“The rest of the journey is for us to abandon the mission given by Professor Dumbledore and escape all the way.”

Hagrid took another sip of tea and sighed regretfully.

“Originally we thought we couldn’t run away. After all, many giants were chasing us, and the Death Eaters also helped them.”

“Fortunately, civil strife suddenly broke out among the giants. Gao Gaoma went crazy and beat two giants to death with a stick, and we were lucky enough to escape.”

“Then we went straight back to China, avoiding the sight of others and the tracking of the Ministry of Magic, and finally we parted ways in France.”

Harley nodded so that everything was timed.

It was also when his clone saw Hagrid and Ms. Maxim being chased that he interfered with Gao Gaoma and made him go crazy.

While Harry was still thinking, Hermione keenly noticed something.

“Hagrid, is there something wrong with what you said? According to you, your last contact with a giant should have been a month ago.”

“But looking at the wounds caused by these giants on your body, it doesn’t look like the injuries from a month ago?”

Hagrid was stunned for a while, and then he coughed awkwardly twice:

“I said those fresh wounds were really caused by my fall. Do you believe it?”

Hermione gave him a look and let him see for himself.

Hagrid scratched his head: “Then…it was actually Ms. Maxim who drank too much and accidentally hit her?”

“Then do you believe that I am Merlin?” Hermione asked back, “It’s even more convincing if you say that you beat yourself when you were bored!”

Hagrid suddenly looked sad, and after being silent for a long time, he said carefully:

“Okay, actually it’s a long story…”
