Harry Potter: Badger's Flathead
Page 287
It was when I went there that I learned that my mother had followed another giant, but like me, she didn't like Grawp, because for a giantess, giving birth to a tall and strong child is prestigious, and as a giant, he was sixteen feet tall, which made him look very short.
Hagrid choked with sorrow and helplessness, tears streaming down his scarred face.
Seeing that Grawp had calmed down and seemed to be out of danger, Ivan put away the rocket launcher on his shoulder.
A giant who cannot communicate and control is very scary. Take Klopp for example. Although he is small, his strength is definitely greater than that of an African elephant! This is the value of a giant!
"Then, will Ms. Maxime be willing to take him back?" Harry asked curiously.
"Well, to be honest, she knew it was important to me, but I have to say that she got bored halfway through, because Grawp kept wanting to go back, and he wasn't being honest, so I guess we broke up. Alas..."
Hagrid sounded lost and patted Grawp's arm helplessly.
Grawp saw Hagrid patting his arm. Even though he was simple-minded, he could feel Hagrid's kindness and responded. Although he just patted his belly happily, the force of his arm swing still threw Hagrid away.
"Oh~ Seriously, he really doesn't know how strong he is!" Hagrid got up from the ground, covered in dust again.
"Hagrid, now you know how it felt when you slapped us gently in the face in our first and second years."
Ivan walked up to Hagrid with a wicked smile, looking gloating. It was indeed karma.
"Got it, got it!" Hagrid's old face turned red and he suddenly felt a little embarrassed.
"But Hagrid, what are you going to do with him? Why do you have to let a ferocious giant who doesn't want to stay here?"
"Hey~ fierce is a bit too much of a word, little Hermione! I admit that he wants to hit me a few times when he's in a bad mood, but I've been teaching him, and it's working well, and he's adapted very well."
Hagrid rubbed his old waist in pain, still speaking for his brother.
Seeing him like this, Alvin had no choice but to give him two bottles of potion. If he continued like this, he was really afraid that Hagrid would be beaten into a rock cake.
"Stop, don't do this, Grawp. I told you not to catch people, remember?" Hagrid exclaimed. Because of a moment of inattention, Ivan was grabbed by Grawp.
"Don't be nervous, Hagrid, I'm fine!" Ivan was calm, because when he looked closely, Grawp's eyes were just like those of the two little guys in his family, clear, ignorant and curious.
Perhaps the giants have a low IQ, but they are definitely not creatures that cannot communicate, otherwise they would not have joined the Death Eaters just because of Voldemort's promises.
"Hello, Grawp, but it's rude to arrest people at random. If you want friends, you can't do this."
Ivan stared into Grawp's eyes with a calm tone, and a flash of purple light flashed in his pupils.
The pain brought by the giant's fist, the helplessness of being driven away, the loneliness of being alone in the corner, the desire to integrate into the tribe, and the confusion when being taken away from the tribe by Hagrid.
There are only a few things that can fit in his big head. Despite his huge size, he is actually just an uncivilized child, so he is not too troublesome.
Grawp calmed down under Ivan's gaze, carefully put Ivan down, and slowly turned and stepped back.
"He can find food by himself and take care of himself, but..."
"He just needs company." Ivan continued what Hagrid hadn't finished saying. "Perhaps you could put him in the Dragon Park, next to Nighold."
"Uh... I'm afraid he can't control his behavior. If he's not careful, he might make Nighold angry again and become a snack for the Black Dragon King."
Hagrid expressed his concerns. It's not that he had never thought about putting Grawp in the Dragon Park, but he was worried because of Grawp's unstable personality. After all, even humans might not be able to bear it, let alone animals.
"It's okay. Nighold and the others are not like the dragons in the wizarding world. I will tell them to be friends with Grawp. And with Nighold around, Grawp can be controlled, and there will be those lovely flying dragons to keep him company.
Moreover, several Hufflepuff seniors graduated this year and went to work at the Dragon Garden. With them there, Grawp would be taken care of, and it would also help him adapt to the wizarding society. As for whether he would be looked down upon by some wizards at the Dragon Garden...
Haha~ In my Dragon Garden, no matter what species live there, it is not up to others to tell them what to do. "
Grawp handed Hermione a bicycle handlebar. The bell on it was his toy. No one knew where Hagrid got it from.
Finally, we made a happy decision. Compared with hiding, a freer environment is more suitable for the growth of giants. Besides the visitor passages, the animal activity areas in Feilong Park are all equipped with the Traceless Stretching Spell, so there is plenty of space.
People like Alfre and the Hippogriff moved there when the park was built, and the Firebird also lives there. It's just called Dragon Park, but there are many magical animals inside.
Old man Newt put some magical animals that were not very rare but not very common into it. Now, the old man is not in Hogwarts except when he needs to attend classes.
Even for classes, we have to go through the portal to the park. After all, the textbooks are here, and the food in the park is the same as in school, so why go back to school!
Therefore, the old man had no idea about the major events that happened in Hogwarts during this period, including Dumbledore's departure, and was completely immersed in his little paradise.
In the central lake of Feilong Park, there is a towering ice nest covering half of the lake surface. There are not many dragons now, so this size is enough.
puff!
Nighog emerged from Dragon Heart Lake, creating a large splash of water. It seemed to have become bigger, perhaps because the food at Ivan's place was too good.
"Come on, come on, let me introduce you to a little brother, Grawp! I'll leave him in your care, Grawp, let me introduce you to a big brother."
In front of Nighold's huge body, Grawp really became a shy child, especially under Nighold's fierce vertical gaze, his ignorant eyes suddenly became clearer.
In order to ensure that Grawp could receive good care, Ivan found old man Newt and discussed the plan of raising giants with the new seniors who took office this year. Then he took Hagrid and the others away.
In addition to Ivan, Nighold also has a good impression of Newt, the old man who helped him learn how to build a nest, and tends to listen to Newt, so Ivan is not worried that letting Grawp stay here will hurt anyone.
Chapter 404 Firenze is back
Now that we have reached Dragon Park, there is no need to walk back. Just go straight back to Hogwarts through the portal. This portal is right on the edge of the Forbidden Forest next to Hogwarts.
It was previously placed next to Hagrid's hut, but considering that Hagrid also needs a quiet life, it was moved.
As soon as he went out, Alvin saw a figure he hadn't seen for a long time.
"Hi! Firenze, long time no see."
Before Ivan could say anything, Hagrid was the first to greet the silver-white figure.
Firenze came back and wanted to talk to Ivan. He happened to meet Alisa, a pure unicorn, and they chatted while waiting for Ivan at the edge of the forbidden forest.
The stars indicate that he will be able to wait for the person he wants to meet here.
"Long time no see, Firenze and Sister Alisa." Ivan greeted them.
Compared to the last time we met, Firenze's temperament has completely changed!
In the past, Firenze was like a melancholy handsome man who cared about his race, but now, he is like a sharp sword ready to be unsheathed, even if the murderous intent is not obvious, it is hidden with a sharp edge!
It seems that the experiences during this period have completely transformed him. Originally, he should have taken over the professor of Divination at Hogwarts and become a scholar who teaches and educates people.
But now, he has become a king who leads his tribe towards a new destiny by stepping on blood and corpses.
"Hey man, where have you been all this time? Bain said you were out. And your people, why are there so many more of them? Do you know, they've become so irritable now..."
Of all the centaurs, Firenze was the easiest to get along with, and Hagrid could also chat with him, so he shared what he had seen recently.
"I went to do something that could change the future of the entire Centaur race. Although the process is hard to describe, I seem to have succeeded in part. I'm back now because of the Centaur race. I will let them calm down, my friend."
Firenze remained patient with Hagrid, a very friendly man, even though he really wanted to talk to Ivan alone.
"Ahem, sorry, Hagrid, I came here to ask you for help. Can we talk next time?" Alisa knew Firenze's purpose, so she took the initiative to create opportunities for him.
Hagrid was taken away by Alisa, and Harry and others were driven back to the castle by Ivan. Now only Firenze and Ivan were left.
One man and one horse slowly walked into the woods.
"How do you feel?" Ivan took the initiative to break the silence.
"It's terrible. My hands are stained with the blood of my compatriots, but I have to do it." Firenze's tone was full of helplessness and sorrow.
But the only thing I have no regrets!
"Now that you have made the decision, don't regret it! The road to becoming a king is so difficult and cruel. Whether it is for power or for the people, this is the inevitable path for every king."
"But I have never thought about becoming a king. I just want the centaurs to have a better future instead of living like trapped beasts. If I can succeed..."
"Don't ever say that after you succeed, you will step down as a leader and will not become king. You will leave the tribe and go to a corner of the world alone to atone for the murders you committed."
If Ivan had predicted what would happen to Firenze, it wouldn't really be considered a prediction, because characters like his basically have this kind of ending, and that's how it's played out in the movies.
After all, art comes from life.
"I..." Firenze was speechless for a moment, because he really thought so.
“Firenze, remember this! With you, it is only the Centaur Tribe, or the Centaur Nation. Without you, it is still the Centaur Tribe. Most of the tribes you conquered were forced to surrender by force, right?
Therefore, when there are no continuous constraints and they get a better environment, most of them will miss their previous beliefs. At that time, all your efforts will turn into bubbles.
Don’t disbelieve it, humans have proven that if we want to have good development, tribal society must be abolished.”
Firenze fell into deep thought again. He couldn't refute this statement. Humans who had left the tribal form did live better than them.
But... he still couldn't let go of his sins. This was also caused by the consciousness that the centaurs had been taught since childhood. Because of their closeness to nature, the centaurs were very concerned about things like sins.
Just like you cannot attack minors, in the eyes of the centaurs, harming young animals is a terrible sin, so the centaurs strictly abide by this rule.
"If you really mind that much, then while you are alive, you can create a better living environment for the centaurs, so that their bloodline can be continued and their lives can be preserved longer. Isn't this a form of atonement?"
Ivan also guessed Firenze's dilemma, because it was an inherent manifestation of a kind character.
Therefore, we can only guide him in a different way, giving him another way of thinking. Otherwise, if we force him to do it, it may backfire and even make him unable to think straight.
There have been countless classic cases of this.
"I think what you said makes sense." After pondering for a long time, Firenze seemed to accept this new choice.
"For the future of the centaurs, I will try my best. No matter what, I will continue on this path!"
"Keep going firmly, don't hesitate, and don't have any worries. This road is destined to be unusual. As for how you will be judged in the future, that is a matter for future generations, and I can't control it even if I want to."
Firenze's eyes became more determined. Ivan gave him another book, which taught people how to be a qualified leader. He had also shown it to Percy. Now it was Firenze's turn.
As for the art of governing a country, it is not needed for the time being. With only a few horsemen, it is enough to give the management team a book of experience.
After saying goodbye to Firenze, Ivan returned to the castle alone.
I don’t know if it was his illusion, but the castle, which was once full of vitality, was now shrouded in a layer of haze.
Perhaps, this magical castle has foreshadowed future tragedies. Many outstanding lives will die in this castle.
I just don't know if he has the ability to change this tragedy. Let's see who has the better chess game!
Chapter 405: No one is here? I have to do it myself again!
"Why is Umbridge gone?"
"She, she asked for leave and locked herself in the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom and refused to come out."
"Isn't she acting as principal? Who did she ask for leave from?"
"Well, asking for leave is just an excuse. Isn't it because she saw in the newspaper that Fudge was arrested that she got scared?"
"That's right. She has been bullying Hogwarts for so long relying on Fudge's reputation. If it weren't for Ivan taking the lead in opposing her, we don't know what would have happened to us."
