Chapter 624 Grawp

"She went back to the castle." Hagrid quickly came to the window, opened the curtains a crack, looked at it for a while and then whispered.

Harry and Ron then took off their invisibility cloaks.

"The Ministry of Magic is indeed monitoring all the wizards who are close to Dumbledore." Harry said worriedly: "Otherwise Umbridge would not have mentioned the mountains. They must have found traces of you in the mountains."

"It's very possible that the Death Eaters you met at the giants revealed it to the Ministry of Magic." Ron added.

Hermione was concerned about another question, "Well... Hagrid, what are you going to ask us to do in class?" she asked.

"Did you hear what Umbridge said? She will definitely try her best to drive you away from Hogwarts."

"That's right!" Harry was horrified, "In fact, she was already doing this when you were not around!"

"Oh, don't worry, I have prepared a lot of content," Hagrid said enthusiastically: "I have reserved some animals specially for your O.W.L. year. Just wait, they are very special..."

"Uh... Of course, you have probably met with Fish." Hagrid glanced at Maomao who was putting the fire dragon meat into his pocket, and the interest that had just risen suddenly dropped.

"Are they not dangerous?" Harry asked uneasily.

"Dangerous?" Hagrid seemed to find it funny, "Don't be stupid, I won't give you dangerous things! I mean, they can take care of themselves..."

However, Harry and the others all knew that the non-danger that Hagrid said was completely different from normal people's standards.

So Hermione suggested eagerly: "Hagrid, you must pass Umbridge's inspection, so if she sees you teach us how to find Ponlock, how to distinguish thorns from hedgehogs, etc., it will really help." Much better!”

Harry and Ron nodded in agreement.

"But that's not very interesting, Hermione," said Hagrid.

"That's right, meow!" Fish nodded in agreement and added to the confusion seriously: "Luwei and the others are more fun. Pangrock and Thorny are too weak, meow, and they are no match for the cat knights."

"Cat Knight? Are they the group of little girls gathered by Evans? I have occasionally heard other people say it." Hagrid mistakenly thought that Fish was talking about the members of Fish's support club.

"That's not important!" Hermione glared at Fish who was causing trouble and said, "Umbridge is looking for an excuse to get rid of the teacher she thinks is too close to Dumbledore. Please, teach her something normal." , something that will definitely be included in the O.W.L. exam..."

But Hagrid didn't seem to listen at all. He smiled and patted Hermione's shoulder gently. Her knees weakened and she fell to her knees on the ground.

"Oh! I'm sorry!" He pulled her up by the collar of his robe, "Don't worry about me, I promise that I have prepared very good things for your Care of Magical Creatures class..."

Hagrid's eyes flickered between Harry and Ron for a moment, then he looked at Fish and said, "Speaking of which, Fish, I still need your help with something."

"Yes, Minerva said that too, nya."

Only then did Feishu and the others remember, and all four of them looked up at Hagrid curiously.

"Come with me." Hagrid put on his cloak and walked outside, "Ya Ya, you stay to look after the house."

Fish and Hermione turned into cats and jumped on his shoulders, while Harry and Ron also put on the invisibility cloak and followed.

"I can't use the wand, so don't forget to wipe off the footprints." Hagrid reminded him as he walked towards the Forbidden Forest with the two cats on his back.

The erasure spell is not a sophisticated spell. Although Harry and Ron mainly practiced practical spells during this period, they can still do it without bothering Hermione.

After they entered the Forbidden Forest, there was basically no need to erase the footprints, because the ground in the entire Forbidden Forest was messy, and animals would pass by from time to time, mixing with their footprints.

"Hagrid, where are we going?" After entering the Forbidden Forest, Harry took off his invisibility cloak. He held up the glowing wand and asked half curiously and half worried: "Are you coming from there again? "What kind of dangerous animals have been brought back from outside? Are you going to introduce them to us in the Care of Magical Creatures class?"

Hagrid had also said before that the negotiations with the giants had been sabotaged by Death Eaters, so Harry did not consider his initial guess.

"Of course not," Hagrid shook his head with a troubled expression on his face, "I..."

He muttered "I" for a long time but couldn't "I" anything, which only made Harry and Ron even more frightened...

God knows what it was that made Hagrid, who just thought it was cute when he saw the fire dragon, hesitate like this!

"Meow!"

(=`Д=)

Fish, who was squatting on Hagrid's shoulder, became impatient, raised his little paw and punched his big head.

Hagrid let out a long sigh and continued speaking, but he still spoke intermittently and seemed very hesitant.

"Okay...actually...I brought my brother back..."

"...meow!"

After a moment of silence, Hermione, who was the first to figure it out, had her hair on end.

Harry also reacted and asked tremblingly: "Hagrid, when you say 'brother', do you mean..."

"Actually... he's my half brother." Hagrid corrected, "I later found out that after my mother left my father, she followed another giant, and then there was Grawp... When he said his name, it sounded like this."

Harry and Ron looked at each other, and then laughed bitterly together.

Unexpectedly, just as they had guessed at the beginning, Hagrid really brought back a giant.

"He doesn't talk much... I've been trying to teach him..." Hagrid's words gradually became fluent, "My mother doesn't seem to like him very much, just like she didn't like me at the beginning. You know, for a female giant, the most important thing is to give birth to a tall and decent child, and as a giant, he seems a little short - only sixteen feet tall..."

"Ha--!" Ron laughed an unclear laugh, and then said word by word: "A little? Short? Only? Sixteen feet?"

"Oh, yes." Hagrid twisted his hands and smiled awkwardly, "You should know that other giants are generally more than twenty feet tall, and they all bully him because he is too small."

"Ha--!" Ron laughed an unclear laugh again.

Although they were dissatisfied with Hagrid's behavior, Harry and Ron did not stop, but continued to follow him into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Of course, more importantly, after having seen the three giants, Fluffy, Ouroboros and Kanaloa, they would not be too surprised about Grawp who was "only" sixteen feet tall.

Not to mention Fish, who squatted on Hagrid's shoulder and excitedly wagged his tail.

Led by Hagrid, the group left the path in the Forbidden Forest and began to meander through the trees, heading towards the dark center of the Forbidden Forest.

After a difficult trek, they came to a bare piece of land, surrounded by many large tree trunks and branches, forming a kind of fence and barrier, with a smooth mound of earth almost as tall as Hagrid in the middle.

But after a careful look, Harry found that it was not a mound of earth, but a huge figure, which was slowly rising and falling with a vague, rhythmic rumble.

Sixteen feet is less than 5 meters tall, which is about the height of two floors.

The giant leader whose head was chopped off was twenty-three feet tall, and the one who succeeded in the rebellion later, according to Hagrid, was the tallest, about twenty-five feet tall, or 7.6 meters tall.

So according to Hagrid, ordinary giants are about twenty feet tall, or about six meters tall.
