Hogwarts: Harley from The Witch Way - Chapter 412
c396 warn! warn! Who do you think is the little guy?
“…So I brought Grawp back like this.” Faced with Harry and Hermione’s repeated questioning, Hagrid finally confessed the truth honestly.
According to him, his mother, the most cruel female giant in history, Friedurfa, quickly returned to the giant tribe after leaving her father.
There, she found a new love and gave birth to Grawp, Hagrid’s half-brother.
However, Grawp’s life in the giant clan was not good, after all, he was too short.
As the shortest giant in the entire giant clan, he could basically bully him as an adult giant.
Anyway, the giants have no legal basis. When a fight breaks out, the other giants will just stand around waving sticks and cheering.
And Friedurfa, a mother, was not willing to pay attention to her useless son. She felt that it would be a shame for her to give birth to such a child.
So after Hagrid discovered his poor brother, he chose to bring Grawp back.
“I understand your reason.” After hearing Hagrid’s explanation, Hermione looked terrifyingly calm.
But Harry, who had been with Hermione for so long, could tell that this was definitely a precursor to the lion’s roar.
If it weren’t for Hagrid in front of her, Hermione would have already shown him what a “little grid” is.
“But I have another question. How did you manage to bring that sixteen-foot-tall giant back to Hogwarts quietly?”
“We kept traveling at night, walking through the wilderness, and finally luckily found an abandoned boat and rowed across the English Channel.”
Hagrid wrung his hands in pain, “Of course, Olim also helped us a little.”
“She helped Grawp and I cast several very useful spells, and she sent us all the way to France.”
“Then we separated. Olim seemed unhappy. She probably didn’t like Graup very much and was a little tired of him.”
Harry couldn’t help but shook his head, feeling that Hagrid’s wording was still too conservative.
What does “somewhat” boredom mean? This “some” is definitely worth studying!
Ms. Maxim has spent her whole life trying to hide her identity as a hybrid giant, and does not want to have any contact with giants, so as not to affect her future.
Just because they are willing to accompany you to find giants, it can be seen from this how good Ms. Maxim is to Hagrid.
So what about you, Hagrid? He openly brought a 16-foot-tall brutal giant and claimed that this was his younger brother, and even brought him near a magic school like Hogwarts. He just wanted to let everyone know about his ancestry.
Harry felt that no matter how good-tempered Ms. Maxim was and how favorable she was for Hagrid, when Hagrid decided to take Grawp back, the relationship between the two completely fell apart.
Pay attention to the solitary life, Hagrid! I never thought you were the real “Voldemort”!
Harry took the initiative to turn his head and glance at Hermione, and found that Hermione was also looking at him, with the same inexplicable meaning hidden in their eyes.
“Hagrid, no matter what you think, you can’t bring giants to Hogwarts!” Hermione spoke again, this time in a very stern tone.
“I know I shouldn’t have brought him here. Professor Dumbledore wouldn’t allow it.” Hagrid’s face was filled with pain. “And Grawp didn’t want to come either. He resisted all the time on the way we came. , want to go back.”
“Then why don’t you let him go?”
“I…I can’t do it!” Hagrid’s voice sounded inexplicably desperate, and he kept rubbing his hands, “I have to bring him back, Hermione, I have to do this!”
“If Grawp is left among the giants in the Alps, this poor child will definitely continue to be bullied by the giants.”
“Although he is a giant, he is still a child!”
Hermione glanced at Hagrid’s face. Although there was nothing unusual about his face now, it was just full of tears, and the tears were flowing down his beard.
But Hermione couldn’t forget Hagrid’s bruised face, injuries and broken arms.
He can beat you like that… and you still call him a child?
Hermione wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Harry.
“Hagrid, regarding Grawp’s fate, I think you should discuss it with Professor Dumbledore in detail. The professor will give you a reasonable reply.”
Harley’s voice was very serious, with an undeniable flavor, “And now, we have more important things to solve.”
“Although it’s getting late, I think we should go to the Forbidden Forest and cast magic around Gralop before causing more trouble.”
“No.” Hagrid was startled, “No, I will never allow it! That’s too dangerous!”
“The Forbidden Forest at night is inherently dangerous. There are all kinds of magical animals. Plus, I haven’t taught Grawp how to behave and speak English.”
“So he hasn’t completely restrained his viciousness yet. It will be in danger for you to go!”
“Do you know there’s danger now?” Harry gave Hagrid a very obvious eye roll.
“Then why don’t you think about how dangerous it is for Grawp to stay in the Forbidden Forest, next to Hogwarts School, for the students?”
“Taking a step back, even if you want to teach him good manners and make him learn English so he becomes less dangerous, do you think the creatures in the Forbidden Forest will let him stay there until he learns it?”
Seeing that Hagrid was still hesitating, Harry chose to give him another dose of powerful ingredients.
“Don’t forget, there are unicorns and centaurs living in the Forbidden Forest. They have a very good relationship with Professor Dumbledore.”
“If they complained to Professor Dumbledore, how disappointed would Professor Dumbledore be in you?”
“In addition, the Ministry of Magic has a centaur office. If a centaur files a complaint, the Ministry of Magic will have another reason to target Professor Dumbledore.”
“Hagrid, you don’t want Professor Dumbledore to get into more trouble because of you, right?”
Considering that Hagrid had been isolated in the mountains and forests for so long and didn’t know a lot of information, Harry started to coax and deceive.
And Hagrid really fell for this trick. After all, what he fears most in his life is that he will disappoint Professor Dumbledore, or that he will cause trouble to Professor Dumbledore.
“And the Forbidden Forest is not dangerous to Harley at all. You probably don’t know that Harley won the International Wizarding Duel Competition this summer.”
Seeing that Hagrid was completely shaken, Hermione immediately struck while the iron was hot to give him some confidence.
“As for Grawp, Harley can fight the fire dragon alone. There is no way the giant can threaten her.”
“Okay, you are right.” Hermione’s words gave Hagrid a shot in the arm, allowing him to make the final decision, “Let’s go, bring your wand, and I will take you to meet my brother. .”
…………
The Forbidden Forest is quiet and peaceful at night, with only the cold wind passing through the treetops, and occasionally one or two wolf howls can be heard in the distance.
Hagrid was holding a hunting crossbow in one hand and a lantern in the other, looking very cautious.
Hermione said that it would be very safe with Harry, but in fact she carefully pulled out her wand.
Only Harry was unprepared and wandered into the Forbidden Forest with his hands in his pockets, as if he were on an outing.
After all, the level of the creatures in this forbidden forest is still a bit too low and too weak for Harley.
Why should she be so cautious when nothing could kill her even if she lay there motionless?
The three of them quickly walked through the woods, passing through the territories of Acromantula and Centaur, and finally arrived near a certain clearing.
There are tall trees growing around the clearing, and ropes are tied to the trees. The other end of the rope is connected to a “mound” in the clearing.
“Hagrid?” Hermione’s voice trembled slightly, but she calmed down a lot after Harry held her hand.
“Look, this is my brother, Grawp.” Hagrid pointed to the “mound”.
“I plan to build a fence and barrier around here, plus rope. I believe that will be enough to restrain him.”
“Gropp doesn’t know how strong he is yet, but after I teach him for a while, he will definitely change.”
Probably because he heard the voices around him, Grawp woke up from his sleep and slowly sat up.
“Haggar?” Graup rubbed his eyes and turned to look at the source of the sound, “Haggar? Haggar!”
His misshapen face looked extremely angry and angry in the dim light, but it was a pity that Hagrid didn’t seem to notice.
“Look, what a smart kid.” When he heard his name, Hagrid burst into tears again, but this time it was because of joy.
“He has completely memorized my name and learned the pronunciation of the word…well, it may be a little irregular, but it doesn’t hurt.”
“I knew he was a good boy, a good, harmless boy, and everyone will like him…”
Before Hagrid finished speaking, he suddenly found that Hermione in front of him opened her mouth wide and screamed: “Hagrid, watch your back!”
Hagrid quickly turned around and saw Grawp standing up at some point, holding a big tree in his hand and shouting simple words:
“Hage! Bad! Graup, now, go home!”
The tree fell hard, and Hagrid quickly took half a step back, trying to block Hermione and Harry behind him, while holding his head in his hands.
According to his experience of being together with Graup for so long, with his rough skin and thick flesh, the tree trunk would only break his body at most, and Graup would be in peace for a long time.
But Hagrid was not able to wait for the expected tree trunk. Instead, he felt the collar of his coat being grabbed by someone, and his whole body flew backwards, and finally landed firmly under a big tree.
Hermione was also thrown next to him and landed firmly on the ground. Her eyes were full of question marks. She didn’t know why she was here.
Before the two of them had time to think, they heard a loud noise.
When they looked towards the source of the sound, the two saw that the big tree in Graop’s hand had been cut in half and broken into two pieces.
And Harley was still standing there, holding an empty potion bottle in her hand and one leg dangling in the air.
“Hagrid, the giants don’t believe in your ideas, but believe in the size of fists.” Harley’s voice came along the cold wind.
“Do you mind if I have a discussion with Graup? It just so happens that I recently developed a new potion that can increase physical strength and strength in a short period of time.”
Before Hagrid could answer, Harry looked at Grawp who had already retracted the tree trunk in front of him, and said loudly in giant language that the other party could understand:
“Come on, little man, let’s fight!”
The IQs of the giants in the magical world are not as high as those of the giants in the future Second Age. Their language is only simple vocabulary, and even lacks some necessary word components, making it difficult to form sentences.
But in this case, it was enough for Harley to use it as a provocation.
The surroundings seemed suddenly quiet, and an inexplicable warning sound floated in the air – Warning! warn!
“Who are you talking about, little man!”
Grawp let out an angry roar, and at the same time pulled out a tree that was thicker than before, and smashed it at Harley.
This made Hagrid tremble in his heart. This was much stronger than the previous blow, and even he might have been hit directly.
Hermione screamed in horror.
But Harley even had the time to adjust her sleeves, and then gently held them up with her right hand.
With a loud noise, the tree trunk stopped still some distance from the ground. Harley held it up with one hand, unable to move forward an inch.
Assassins are indeed not good at strength, but any Sequence 2 angel can suppress the Sequence 5 guardian of the warrior path in terms of strength.
This has nothing to do with the path or sequence, it is simply the suppression of life level and personality.
“Why don’t you have a long memory?” Harley shook her head, “It has been proven that this trick is useless to me before.”
“But forget it, I don’t expect you to come up with a good way. So now, it’s my turn.”
Harley disappeared into the air instantly, and when she reappeared, she was already on Grawp’s chest.
She pressed lightly, and Grawp flew out instantly, hitting a small hill behind him heavily.
“Disobedient children need to be repaired.” Harley hummed softly, and her whole body disappeared into the air.
…………
After a moment, Hagrid stared at the scene in front of him in stunned silence, his CPU being burned out.
Grawp was now sitting on the ground obediently, listening to Harry’s lecture.
Obviously he didn’t like being locked up by Hagrid, and he didn’t like this place.
But now Harley made a series of requests to him, including “stay here and don’t go anywhere,” but Grap accepted all of them.
Is this still the bloody, cruel, and violent giant race? Hagrid felt that Grawp was even more obedient than Fang!
“Hagrid, I’ll help you negotiate with him.” After talking to Grawp, Harley turned to look at Hagrid again.
“He promised to stay around this open space and not leave too far away, and he also asked me to use magic.”
“How did you make him so obedient?” Hagrid scratched his head and asked curiously.
Harley couldn’t help but rolled her eyes:
“Please, Hagrid, what you have in front of you is a giant, the epitome of cold-bloodedness and inability to communicate!”
“You yourself know that more than 800 giants were driven out of Britain and into the Alps.”
“The resources there can fully support them, and it is even more than enough to support the same number of giants.”
“But what about the facts? The fact is that these giants broke out a civil war on their own without the intervention of wizards, and finally reduced their numbers to only more than 80 giants, and the reason was just because they were bored.”
“If humans also had this characteristic, Thanos wouldn’t even collect the Infinity Stones.”
Hermione also made up for her complaints at the right time.
“Thanos? What is that?” Hagrid’s focus was different. “And the Infinity Stones…are you referring to the Philosopher’s Stone?”
Hermione suddenly remembered that this was the magical world, and Hagrid had definitely never read Marvel comics, so she quickly changed the subject:
“Anyway, Hagrid, do you really think it’s useful to play the family card when facing such a race?”
Hagrid’s attention was drawn back. After thinking for a while, he nodded reluctantly:
“You are right, Grawp is indeed dangerous. I’d better report to Professor Dumbledore tomorrow.”
