Chapter 478 Persuasion (Modified)
Allen successfully controlled the last giant. He looked around and made sure that there were no fish slipping through the net, and then walked quickly towards Hagrid and Madam Maxime.
Under the confused eyes of Hagrid and Madam Maxime, Allen took off his mask and dismissed the projection made by the mirror technique.
Seeing Alan, Hagrid and Madam Maxim exclaimed at the same time. They didn't expect that there was actually only one of the wizards dressed as Aurors present, and the others were illusions, let alone Alan.
Allen took out the potion from the pocket of his uniform and handed it to Hagrid, and helped Madam Maxim treat Hagrid's cracked skin that was constantly oozing blood.
"Mr. Alan Harris, why did you appear here?" Mrs. Maxim restrained her voice, trying to avoid asking questions, so she appeared a little stiff.
"Like Professor Dumbledore, our Harris family has also noticed the attempts of the dark wizards against giants." Allen explained calmly as if he did not hear the doubts in Mrs. Maxim's words.
"I know that - enslaving gems, although I don't know where you learned about the gem manufacturing method that should have been lost, but this kind of thing that can enslave others at will and control the life and death of others is much more evil than the practice of black wizards. And it is illegal to use this thing on people!" As the headmaster of Beauxbatons, Madam Maxime was well-informed, she pointed to the enslaved gems on the foreheads of those giants, and no longer concealed her inner doubts.
She stared at the expression on Alan's face without blinking, and she was secretly on guard in her heart, guarding against the possibility that Alan might be detrimental to them after being exposed by her.
But Alan didn't have the slightest guilty conscience on his face. He directly took out an official document and said confidently: "This is a permit issued by the Department of Management and Control of Magical Creatures, allowing me to establish a giant research reserve. In addition, The Enslavement Gem is the same as the Unforgivable Curse, exactly... I don't mean to be disrespectful, but you said it yourself, they are only illegal when used on people."
"It won't take many years, judging from the current trend of them killing each other, this giant tribe will also destroy itself. In fact, this is also to send these dwindling giants to England and let them establish in the Harris family. Live a better life in the protected area. Although in order to avoid bad public opinion in the society, we can only protect them in the name of research.” Alan paused, his expression became serious, “Actually, the one that violated the law is the one just now Dark wizard, Dumbledore, and the two, even the headmaster of the magic school, you don't have the right to try to contact the giant without the permission of the Ministry of Magic."
Madam Maxim opened her mouth, and finally realized that what she was facing was not an ordinary student or an ordinary wizard. Behind Allen was the Ministry of Magic---at least half of the Ministry of Magic, so she stopped talking and went all out to treat Hagrid. .
With the joint efforts of Allen and Madam Maxim, Hagrid's injury finally stabilized. Unlike Mrs. Maxim who was full of doubts, Hagrid, who had received help from Alan several times, had a more friendly attitude towards Alan.
But he still didn't approve of Alan's behavior of using enslaved gems to control the giants, but he didn't know how to express his dissatisfaction with Alan.
"Hagrid, the Harris family will not really enslave these giants, and will not let them do dangerous or unfriendly things. In order to send them safely to the protected area in the UK, this is a necessary means of restriction." Sensing Hagrid's emotions through Legilimency, Allen patiently explained.
"You know how violent and capricious the giants are. In order to get them to the protected area and raise them in the UK, these restrictions are very necessary. Now, the enslaved gems are under our control. It is a good thing for them to force these giants to learn English and to suppress their violent nature by accepting the education of modern civilization. Otherwise, once they attack ordinary wizards in the UK,
This is a disaster for them. "
Hagrid scratched his disheveled head. He felt that although what Alan said made some sense, he felt that something was wrong but he didn't know how to refute it, so he could only nod awkwardly. Unlike Hagrid, Mrs. Maxim was full of suspicion. She stopped talking and didn't want to question Alan again under the current situation. She secretly decided to go back and tell Deng what she saw and heard today. Bullido.
Seeing Hagrid's expression, Allen thought of Hagrid's talent in taking care of magical creatures. His breeding skills for magical creatures are different from most wizards. He relies more on his own experience to form a school of his own, but he doesn't No systematic summary has been conducted.
Hagrid is a talent, and considering that many people in the family have not turned into magic Animagus, and need to collect all kinds of magical creatures for matching, Allen rolled his eyes, thinking about it, and he quietly started to recruit.
"Hagrid, if you are worried, I can hire you as an expert in the reserve, and you can personally participate in the supervision. Although there are not many giants here because of their struggles with each other, bringing so many giants It was still too conspicuous when I went back, so I decided to donate a large sum of money and reduce the size of the dragon farm and rent a part of the area, turning the protected area that was originally just for studying giants into a research institute for studying various magical creatures, so that these giants It’s not as conspicuous anymore.”
Allen's words moved Hagrid very much, but he also had his own concerns.
"Thank you for your trust, Alan. But I still work as a key keeper, gamekeeper, and professor of protection of magical creatures at Hogwarts. I can't live up to Dumbledore's trust in me, and I can't betray him. said Hagrid dryly.
"You only need to treat the work of the research institute as a part-time job. Many jobs do not require you to do it yourself. What I need is for you to teach others your precious experience in breeding and raising those magical creatures. In addition, I plan to buy Noble Come back and put it in Harris’s dragon farm. The location of the sanctuary is actually there. I think it will also like to see you again. In addition, you can go back and ask Dumbledore’s opinion before making a decision. I believe the principal He'll be happy with that too."
Hearing Norbert's name, Hagrid's furry head instantly raised, completely ignoring how Alan knew that Dumbledore had given them the task.
Alan knew that he had scratched Hagrid's itch. He glanced at Mrs. Maxim and half-truthfully joked to Hagrid: "The class concept of the French wizarding world is stronger than that of the British. It will make it easier for you to marry the headmaster of a magic school without arousing public pressure, after all, it will prove that you can get a decent and well-paid job without living under someone else's wing."
Hagrid couldn't help but looked at Madam Maxime. Allen's words made him unable to refuse at all, not to mention that he himself was really interested in the Institute of Magical Creatures that Allen mentioned.
