Magical Studies at Hogwarts

Chapter 219 Hagrid's Request

After entering the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid immediately took out a crossbow from his robes, and became more careful, always paying attention to the movement around him.

"Hagrid, why are you holding a weapon?" Harry asked.

"Just in case," said Hagrid, "I'm not welcome here now..."

"Why? It was fine when I went to see thestrals last time."

"We didn't have to go very far that day..." Hagrid replied, "And, that was before Firenze left the Forbidden Forest..."

"The other centaurs were very angry about this. They thought Firenze was a traitor. If I hadn't arrived in time, Firenze would have been kicked to death by them." Hagrid sighed, "Anyway, what happened something very unpleasant..."

"So, for the centaurs?" Hermione asked softly.

"No, it's not a horseman, it's something else...you'll know when you see it."

Hagrid fell silent, and walked ahead with his crossbow in his hand, and walked a lot faster. It took Harry and Hermione a lot of effort to keep up.

As they walked deeper and deeper, the weeds grew, the trees became denser, and even the light dimmed.Gradually, there were more bushes, and these thorny guys had little effect on Hagrid, but Hermione and Harry were going to have to work hard.

Suddenly, Hagrid stopped, and the two who were doing their best to deal with those nasty bushes didn't notice, and Qi Qi bumped into Hagrid's back.

"What's wrong?" Hermione asked.

Hagrid turned around, with some hesitation in his words: "I think... I should tell you about the situation before going there..."

"Okay." Hermione agreed, looked left and right, it was already too dark to see clearly, "Can we use the Illuminating Charm?"

"Illumination spell? It's ok...it should be fine."

Hearing this, Hermione took out her wand, and a soft ball of light appeared at the tip of the wand.Maybe it was the gloomy atmosphere, or maybe it was some other reason, neither Hagrid nor Harry noticed that Hermione's lighting spell did not recite the spell.

Hagrid was full of thoughts, he sat directly on the ground, and sighed: "I may be fired at any time, you know, she has been looking for opportunities to drive me away since I came back."

"Of course, I don't want to leave, but because of some things, I need to leave now..."

"What happened?" Harry asked. "Is it... about the Order of the Phoenix?"

"That's right." Hagrid nodded. "But that's not why I brought you here. I need your help. Will you help me?"

"Of course we'll help you." Harry didn't hesitate.

Hagrid was so moved that he slapped Harry on the shoulder directly, knocking Harry staggering.He stood up again, waved his hands at the two of them, and motioned to follow.

After walking in silence for a long time, Hagrid stopped again.This time without his explanation, the two of them stopped and looked at the huge monster not far in front of them in shock.

"Hagrid, who is this?" Hermione asked softly, holding the wand tightly, and the soft ball of light on it disappeared at some point.

"Who?" Harry was still a little confused, he even felt that Hermione had made a mistake.But after carefully identifying the direction Hermione was pointing at, he immediately took a deep breath.

"Didn't you say they won't come!" Hermione asked, her voice trembling.

"Yeah, they won't come, but he's different... he doesn't want to come either, but I have to bring him," Hagrid replied.

"Why? He..." Before Hermione finished speaking, she was interrupted by Hagrid's sudden cry.

"I can't help it, I can't leave him there, he'll die!" sobbed Hagrid, "he's too weak, those guys will kill him..."

"Weak!" Harry was shocked, pointing to the head that was almost as tall as Hagrid and said, "Is this called weak?"

"Yes, weak, he's only sixteen feet tall, I can't leave him..." Hagrid burst into tears, "Hermione, do you understand, he's my brother... half-brother!"

"younger brother!"

Harry and Hermione exclaimed in unison, looking at Hagrid in disbelief.

"Yes, brother, I only found out later." Hagrid said, "After leaving my father, my mother followed another giant, and then there was Glop..."

"It should be this name. When he said his name, he pronounced it very similar to this." Hagrid spoke quickly, "He doesn't talk much, he's a little withdrawn, and his temper isn't very good... I've been trying to teach him He, teach him some benefits, teach him manners, take care of him carefully..."

"So the wound on your body...was done by him?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah...but I swear Glop is a good boy, he just likes to play...he doesn't know how strong he is, I know, he's just not careful, he just wants to play with me..."

Hermione took a deep breath, tried to calm down, pointed to the huge figure that was still sleeping soundly and asked, "If I understand correctly, you want us to take care of him after you leave?"

"Yes..." Hagrid looked expectant, afraid that Hermione and Harry would regret it at this time, "It's very simple, there is no need to provide food, he will get it himself, he just needs someone to accompany him, someone who can continue to teach he……"

"Actually, even talking is good..."

"Let's try." Harry also felt embarrassed, but he had already agreed to Hagrid's request before.

"I knew...I knew you would agree." Hagrid wiped away the tears on his face, and finally smiled, "That's great, it doesn't need to be too much trouble, just come and stay with him once a week. it is good……"

With that said, he stood up and walked towards Glop: "I'm going to wake him up and introduce you..."

"Don't!" Hermione hurriedly stopped her when she heard the words, but Hagrid had already walked to Grapp's side.He picked up a long branch on the ground and poked Gropp hard in the back.

"Roar!"

With a roar, Gropp stood up from the ground, his huge figure was almost as tall as the surrounding trees that covered the sky, and the ground even trembled when he stood up.

"Are you awake, Glop?" Hagrid said cheerfully, "It's okay, it's okay, let me introduce you to two new friends..."

"Remember? I told you, bring a few friends to let you know, and let them take care of you after I leave."

"Do you remember, Grapp..."

Gropp let out a low growl, he lowered his head, and brought his huge head close to Hagrid's.Hagrid patted his big face with a smile, then turned and pointed to Hermione and Harry who were hiding aside.

"Yes, that's them, this is Harry, this is Hermione, they'll take care of you... No! Stop it! Don't be like this, Grop!"

As Hagrid was speaking, Grapp suddenly stretched out his big hand and grabbed Hermione.Hermione didn't check for a moment and was caught, and the whole person was caught in the air.

This frightened Hagrid, who yelled, but Gropp, as if he hadn't heard it, put his head in Hermione's eyes.

It looked like it was going to eat Hermione!
