Chapter 629: The Ball Is Over

next chapter

Ivan and Hermione returned to the auditorium, Ron and Lavender were still missing, Ginny and Gabriel sat with a large group of Beauxbaton girls, Neville and Luna danced together, Harry and Colin The two sat at a table away from the dance floor.

"Did you see Ron?" Harry asked, looking at Ivan and Hermione who had just returned.

"He's busy outside!" Hermione said angrily, raised her head and looked around, and after making sure no one was eavesdropping on their conversation, she lowered her voice, "I just heard from Ivan... ..."

She repeated what Hagrid had said, and Harry and Colin were equally dumbfounded.

"So, Hagrid is a half-blood giant?!" Colin said in surprise.

"Yes, the nature of this matter is very bad!" Ivan and Hermione nodded.

"I don't understand, so what if Hagrid is a giant? What's the problem?!" Harry said, watching Mrs. Maximus sitting alone at the referee table with a sullen look, "If Hagrid If she is a half-breed giant, then she must be too, she has a big skeleton, and the only one with a bigger skeleton than her is a dinosaur..."

"You don't understand, Harry!" Hermione explained, "It's very bad that Hagrid is a half-blood giant. The book says that giants are very dangerous magical creatures and are not recognized by the wizarding world."

"Who cares?" said Harry stubbornly. "There's nothing wrong with Hagrid, we all like him!"

"I know it is, but..."

"Generally speaking, giants are considered to be very vicious humanoid magical creatures!" Seeing that Harry and Colin were still confused and didn't realize the seriousness of the matter, Ivan had to explain, "It's like Like trolls, they are born to like to kill, but they are much more dangerous than trolls. The average height of giants is 22 feet, almost twice that of trolls. Their strong physique can make them resist most magic. They are humanoid killing machines, and they brought fear to the wizarding world in those dark days, but there are no giants in Britain now!"

"Why, where did they go?"

"Probably extinct. A large number were killed by Aurors, and some hid in foreign mountains. After all, this era is different from the past. It is not an era when giants can wreak havoc." Ai Wen continued, "How did they disappear? It's not the point, the point is that during Voldemort's reign, many giants joined him and killed many people."

"Even so, what does this have to do with Hagrid, he's not dangerous!"

"People who know him think it's okay, because everyone knows that Hagrid is not dangerous, but if people who don't know him or are not familiar with him..." Ivan shook his head, and he saw that many people Whisper together like them.

Obviously, this incident has been leaked, and there were quite a few people around the fountain just now.

It is impossible to continue to hide, and this is not a long-term solution. It is not a good thing for Hagrid.

The issue of blood identity has always been Hagrid's heartache, and covering it up will only delay the outbreak of conflicts.

It was the right thing to do if it was fully exposed and Hagrid realized that everyone was still willing to accept him.

In this matter, Aiwen decided to make some preparations, and he could not let the public opinion ferment and develop in a bad direction.

In addition, he was a little curious. Hagrid's father was just an ordinary wizard. According to Hagrid's description, he was still relatively short. How did he let Hagrid's mother, a purebred giantess, conceive? children's? !

Although hybrid descendants of wizards and various magical creatures are more common, half-blood giants have always been a minority.

When you think about it carefully, this thing is actually quite scary!

Seeing that Alvin and Hermione were coming back, Ginny and Gabriel also came over.

The six of them sat in a corner talking about giants for the rest of the ball, and had no mind for dancing.

No matter who came to invite them, they all refused!

Harry looked at Qiu Zhang from time to time, but when he saw her with Cedric, he had a strong urge to kick something.

Ivan persuaded him to invite Qiu in the past, but Harry hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head and did not act.

As for Fleur and Roger Davies, Ron and Lavender, and other lovers who never came back to the end.

At twelve midnight, the Weird Sisters stopped playing, and everyone gave them warm applause for the last time.

Then they started walking towards the foyer, and Ivan, Hermione and Harry sent Gabriel back to the carriage.

On the way back, at the door of the common room, they saw Ron standing there giggling, holding Lavender's hand.

"Oh!" He stopped suddenly when he saw Ivan, Harry and Hermione.

Lavender giggled and ran in embarrassedly.

There was an awkward silence. Ron seemed to want to explain something, but he didn't say a word.

He just stared at them blankly, his eyes were a little strange, as if he was expecting an explosion.

But everyone didn't have anything to say to Ron. Although he and Lavender made too fast progress, this was Ron's freedom.

After a silent stalemate for a while, the four returned to their respective common rooms to sleep, each with their own thoughts.

As for Hagrid, let Harry tell Ron.

On the second day of Christmas, everyone got up very late.

The Gryffindor common room was much quieter than it had been in previous days, and people chatted casually, interrupted by yawns from time to time.

Hermione's hair was messy again, and she confessed to Alvin that she sprayed a lot of speed smoothing hair spray on her hair for the dance.

"But it's too much trouble to do it every day," she said practically, scratching the back of Crookshanks' ear, and the cat whimpered in comfort.

As stunning as Hermione was last night, it's also lovely to see her this way.

At least Ivan thinks so, this is the real and natural Hermione.

As for the matter of Ron and Lavender, everyone tacitly pretended not to see it.

The two of them also restrained a lot, and they didn't stick together so blatantly.

Harry also told Ron about Hagrid.

Ron was even more surprised than he had imagined, and told them a lot of scary rumors about giants to prove how terrible the news was.

On the contrary, after reading a few books, Hermione gradually calmed down.

"I have long suspected that Hagrid is a half-blood giant!" She told everyone, shaking the magic book in her hand, "I just read the history of giants, and I don't think we need to be so nervous about giants. They don't It's all as scary as the rumors say. It's a prejudice, just like people's attitude towards werewolves, it's just a preconceived idea, isn't it?!" Browse the reading address:
