Chapter 488: Giants and Hybrid Giants, Half Brothers (1/2)

Chapter 488 Giants and half-giants, half-brothers

"Hagrid, who is this?" Hermione was pale, but she already had the answer in her heart.

"Obviously, a giant." Aaron looked at Hagrid with a strange expression, "We can barely accept that you raise trolls, three-headed dogs, eight-eyed giant spiders and even dragons, but this time it's really a bit exaggerated.

Excuse me, did Dumbledore know about this before he left?"

"I shouldn't know." Hagrid dodged his eyes and said hesitantly, "It took me several months to bring him back."

"Why?" Hermione was anxious and almost cried, "I remember you said they didn't want to come."

"Yeah, he didn't want to come, but I had to bring him here." Hagrid said frustratedly, "He's too small, and other giants bully him."

"Small?" Hermione laughed angrily, "You're just a tiny thing in front of him, and we're probably just a little bit bigger than a bug in front of him."

"It's good to have sympathy, but it's wrong to have too much sympathy." Aaron patted his forehead speechlessly, "You're a half-blood giant, and he's a giant. Although they're both giants, there's still a big difference.

You and him are not related, and he hurt you all over..."

"He's my brother." Hagrid suddenly said, tears sliding down his cheeks into his thick beard.

"What did you say?" Aaron looked at Hagrid in surprise, then at the sleeping giant, as if he understood something, "half-brother?"

Hagrid nodded with a sob, and Hermione couldn't help but open her mouth wide.

"Do you understand now?

My mother is gone, and now we are the only two brothers left to depend on each other."

"I understand your feelings very well, but..." Aaron paused and said embarrassedly: "Maybe it would be better to leave him in the giant tribe."

"No." Hagrid's attitude was very firm, "The giants' brains are not working well, and they will fight every now and then. He is the smallest, and he will only be bullied if he stays there.

And the Dark Lord has reached an alliance with the giants. If I don't bring him back, maybe, maybe..."

"Don't say it." Aaron interrupted, "I have to I admit that your worries are very reasonable. It is not impossible for brothers to kill each other. "

"But he is very dangerous, very dangerous." Hermione pointed to a thick rope around the giant's waist, the other end of which was tied to a towering tree, "so dangerous that you have to tie him up."

"He has no one to teach him since he was a child, and my mother doesn't like him because he is small, so his mental state is a little worse.

The giant is very powerful, and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises when in contact, but he has made great progress during this period of time."

"You raise him as a magical animal?" Aaron asked meaningfully, "I mean tamed."

"He is different from magical animals, just like the difference between friends and relatives."

"Okay! Okay!" Hermione looked at him worriedly, "What do you want us to do?"

"Take care of him for me when I'm not around."

"That's a bit too much to ask." Aaron said a little embarrassed, "I'm not spoiling the fun, it's really hard to do.

It's dangerous enough to go deep into the forbidden forest. We don't have enough time and materials to take care of a giant's daily life."

"We don't have that much energy." Hermione added, "We're about to take the O.W.L.s exam Tried."

"It's not as troublesome as you think." Hagrid said hurriedly, "He can get food by himself, there will be no shortage of food in the Forbidden Forest.

I just hope you can take some time out every week to talk to him.

He can take care of himself, but he needs friends."

"Yes!" Aaron said sarcastically, "But communicating with him may put our lives in danger at any time. He may slap us and we may be gone."

"But you must be fine, right?" Hagrid looked at the two with expectation. For some reason, they couldn't bear to refuse his sincere and tearful eyes.

"Huh!" Aaron took a deep breath, sighed that he was too loving, and turned to look at Hermione, "What do you think?"

"Ah?" Hermione was stunned for a moment, and said uncertainly: "I can only say that I will do my best."

"Then I will reluctantly agree."

"Great." Hagrid cried with joy, "I'll go wake him up, you need to get to know each other."

"Grop." Hagrid picked up a long branch and poked the giant's back, "Grop, I'm down there, you big fool."

Hearing the sound, the giant shook his body and stood up slowly, and the ground trembled slightly with his movements.

He let out a huge roar, and all the birds around flew away in fear.

Aaron looked up at the giant, with an unbelievably large face, a thick and short nose, and a crooked mouth with a mouthful of crooked yellow teeth.

After Grawp climbed out, he stretched out his huge palm and touched the tree, as if to check if there were any birds in the bird nests.

"Damn! I agreed too early." Aaron secretly regretted it. In his opinion, Grawp was not much different from the troll except that he was stronger.

Hermione trembled slightly, and her right hand unconsciously grasped Aaron's arm.

"Don't be nervous." Aaron whispered, "It's not like we haven't seen bigger ones. Think about the three-headed dog. The giant is actually just like that."

"You are really good at comforting people." Hermione said with tears in her eyes.

"There's nothing to be afraid of. I'm still here."

Hearing this, a light flashed in Hermione's eyes, "Do you mean you will protect me?"

"Haha! You underestimate me too much. Do you need me to protect you in such a small scene?"

Hermione was stunned for a moment, and then shook off Aaron's arm, "You are a straight man."

Aaron:......

This is indeed a small scene!

"Grop." Hagrid called patiently from below, "I've brought people to see you. Let them take care of you while I'm away. Do you hear me?"

Grop ignored him. He was in a bad mood because he didn't notice the little bird. He started to struggle with the tree that tied him, grabbing the treetop and pulling it out.

"No, Grawp, you can't do this." Hagrid shouted loudly, and then poked Grawp's knee with the branch in his hand.

Grawp seemed to come back to his senses and looked down at Hagrid.

"This is Aaron." Hagrid walked up to Aaron and Hermione and introduced them, "Aaron Gaius, the other one is Hermione... Oh, no."

Before he finished speaking, Grawp rushed over at a faster speed, grabbing Hermione with one hand.

"Ah!" Hermione was shocked and screamed tremblingly on the spot.

Aaron made a prompt decision and pulled her behind him.

"Abe."

Abe, who had been squatting beside him, received the order from his master and let out a deafening roar.

"Roar!"

The white light suddenly illuminated the surrounding area of ​​dozens of meters. A pure white dragon about ten meters long flapped its wings and slowly rose from the ground.

It exuded a blue-white light all over its body, which was extremely sacred and majestic.

Gulu!

The sound of swallowing saliva was particularly clear. Hermione and Hagrid looked at this scene in shock.

They had never seen such a beautiful dragon. Even the Australian egg white eye might not be one tenth of it.

The dragon took a deep breath, and the white breath sprayed on Grawp, as if silently mocking: little guy.

The giant who was still aggressive before suddenly fell to the ground. This was not because he couldn't afford to play, but because he really couldn't afford to play.

This dragon was more than twice his size, taller than the giants who often bullied him in the tribe, and he didn't have the slightest intention of resisting.

"This, this, this..." Hermione was a little unsure about what to say, "Abe, I remember it wasn't this big!"

"How fresh!" Aaron said, laughing and crying, "The last time you saw it change was probably a few years ago. My dragon cub wouldn't have changed at all in a few years!

He's no longer a cub now, he can be considered a qualified young dragon."

"Young dragon?" Hermione opened her eyes in astonishment, and asked in disbelief: "This is a young dragon? How big can it grow when it grows up?"

"Uh... I don't know, but I can definitely keep it as a cat.

And it can definitely handle this kind of small scene."

Hermione's mouth twitched, knowing that Aaron was explaining what he said before, but she still felt uncomfortable.

"So beautiful." Hagrid exclaimed from the bottom of his heart, "I have never seen such a beautiful creature. Unicorns and Veela are far inferior to it."

"Hagrid, let's get back to the topic, okay?

I think your brother won't be so impulsive now."

Hagrid reacted, smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at Grawp who was sitting on the ground.

"Grawp, don't grab people casually, that's impolite.

They will come to see you on my behalf in the future. They can be regarded as your new friends."

Grawp nodded as if he understood, and then pointed at Abe nervously, "It...it..."

"What do you mean?" Aaron asked puzzled.

Hagrid hesitated, "Grawp is asking Abe if he is a friend."

"Barely...I think so!"

"Great, he wants to sit on it and try it."

Abe made a low voice, and then pushed Grawp back with a dragon claw.

"Uh... forget it now. Abe wants to break up with him."

......

On the way back, most of Hagrid's worries disappeared.

Grawp couldn't beat Abe, so he wouldn't be able to hurt Aaron and the others, so he didn't have to worry about their safety.

Hermione felt much more relaxed, holding the shrunken Abe in her arms. The full sense of security made her feel that the Forbidden Forest was not that dangerous anymore, and she could come and go freely.

With such a giant dragon protecting them, they can handle even one more giant, let alone one.

"Wait!" Aaron's ears moved slightly, "Someone is coming, no, the footsteps... are centaurs, a group of centaurs are approaching quickly."

Hagrid immediately picked up his crossbow and became alert.

Hermione also picked up her wand, but her face was full of doubts, "Centaurs shouldn't be enemies, right?"

"It was like that before, but it's really hard to say now.

Firenze worked for Dumbledore and taught students the centaurs' unique astrology, which made them feel betrayed. If I hadn't arrived in time, Firenze might have been trampled to death by them.

Coupled with Umbridge and the attitude of the Ministry of Magic behind her towards centaurs, we became their unwelcome objects."

"That's exactly right." A low voice came from the side, followed by four or five centaurs, "This forest doesn't welcome you."

"Hello, Magorie." Hagrid said vigilantly.

"We'll leave now." Aaron said immediately.

"I didn't say you're not welcome, sir." A centaur behind Magor said, "The Gaius tribe is very special. The stars told us that you saved the centaurs and are their friends."

"Fuck! You can see that?" Aaron blurted out subconsciously. He was really shocked. He didn't expect that the centaurs could learn about what happened in another world through the stars.

"You also saved the centaurs?" Hermione asked in a daze.

"When I was traveling last summer, I happened to encounter centaurs in trouble, so I helped them." Aaron said half-truthfully, then straightened his back and looked at the centaurs, "Then please give me some face, don't make it so tense, you know Hagrid, there may be some misunderstandings."

"I'm afraid that won't work." Magor said lightly, "You have done a great favor to the centaurs, we will remember it in our hearts and be grateful, and will give you enough respect and necessary help.

But Hagrid is another matter, we have discussed it and will not allow this person to appear in this forest again."

"Just because I stopped you from killing Firenze?" Hagrid said angrily.

"He shouldn't spread our knowledge and secrets among humans, it's a shame." The centaur Bain said, "Our customs and laws are different from those of humans, Firenze betrayed and insulted us."

Aaron and Hermione looked at each other and were speechless.

It sounds like Professor Firenze is indeed sorry for the centaurs, and I don't know how Dumbledore convinced him.

"Hagrid, we warned you, but you still broke into our forest."

"Your forest?" Hagrid cursed angrily, "This is not your forest, and it is not your turn to decide who comes and who goes."

"But it is not your turn to decide." Magorie said, "We let you go this time because you have a cub with you."

"It's not his." Bain looked at Hermione coldly, "That's a student of Hogwarts. She probably has benefited from the teaching of the traitor Firenze."

"I didn't." Hermione said immediately, "The elective course I chose is Arithmancy Divination, which has nothing to do with Firenze."

Bain's expression froze, and a touch of embarrassment flashed across his face.

"Okay, hurting cubs is a terrible sin, and we can't hurt innocent people." Magorie said, "Hagrid, don't come to this place from now on."

"I won't stop coming to the forest because of a few words from you." Hagrid said cursing.

"We know what you have in the woods, and our patience is almost over."

"Then be patient for a while longer!" Aaron said helplessly, "We promised to take care of the creature while he is away."

"Creature?" Hagrid was stunned for a moment, "It's not appropriate to say that!"

"It sounds better than a giant." Hermione said with difficulty.

The centaurs looked at each other, and it was still Magorie who stood up, "If this is your request, we can agree, but he can't leave that area."
