Chapter 633: Hagrid's Past

"Hagrid?!"

"He's right, you're all right, I'm so stupid, my dad will blush for me now..." Hagrid's tears flowed again, and he pushed They wipe, "By the way, I haven't shown you a picture of my old dad, have I? Here it is!"

Hagrid stood up and went to the wardrobe, opened a drawer, and took out a photo. It showed a short wizard with black eyes like Hagrid's, squinted into a slit. He was sitting on Hagrid. There was a big smile on his shoulder.

Hagrid was seven or eight feet tall, judging by the apple tree next to him.

But his face was young, full, smooth, beardless, and he looked eleven at most.

Seeing this photo, Ivan expressed even more doubts about how Hagrid's mother conceived him back then.

Hagrid's father is very short. Compared with giants, the ratio gap is too big, even bigger than Ivan imagined before!

"This was taken shortly after I entered Hogwarts!" said Hagrid hoarsely. "Dad was so happy, he thought I couldn't be a wizard, you know, because my mother... .Well, let's not mention it! Of course, I've never been very good at magic, but at least he didn't see me get expelled. He died, died of illness, when I was in the second grade, and I was expelled shortly afterwards. Apart from......"

"Dumbledore was the one who stood by me after Dad died. Got me a job as a gamekeeper. He was very trusting. Always giving people a second chance, that's what sets him apart from other headmasters, understand Hagrid continued, "As long as someone has talent, Dumbledore will accept him to Hogwarts. He knows that even if a person comes from a bad background, he can still be successful, alas, this approach is very Respectable. But some people don't understand this and always discriminate against you because of your origin..."

Hagrid is right, the blood theory has always been very popular in the magic world.

Pure-blood wizards are born noble, they occupy the mainstream of the magical society, and look down on half-blood wizards and Muggle-born wizards.

Muggle-born wizards resented this, but they in turn discriminated against apprentice wizards such as werewolves, half-giants, and other non-human magical creatures.

Strict laws were enacted to restrict their development and facilitate their exploitation.

Like a hierarchical pyramid, layer upon layer.

Bloodline and birth create a natural gulf that cannot be bridged between the different wizarding and magical species.

In a sense, with the exception of a few pure-blood wizards, most wizards are victims.

But they are also perpetrators, continuing to discriminate against wizards and magical beings of lesser blood and origin than their own.

In the past, this concept has kept the magical heritage intact and protected wizards from Muggle persecution.

But now, this decadent and backward concept has restricted the rapid development of the magic world and should be stopped and discarded.

"They're always like that, and some cowards even pretend they're big-boned instead of telling the truth. I'm who I am, and I have nothing to be ashamed of." Hagrid wiped the last tear from his face, "'Never Ashamed,' my dad used to say, 'someone will discriminate against you for this, but they're not worth your trouble.' He was right. I'm so stupid, I'll never bother with that woman again, I promise you. Big bone, I want her to taste my big bone!"

Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione looked at each other uneasily, and Hagrid continued talking because of his excitement.

Even if they were killed, everyone was unwilling to admit that they actually knew about the conversation between Hagrid and Madam Maxim, and Ivan and Hermione were on the sidelines at that time.

What Hagrid said at the beginning was very inspiring, but then it became a bit inexplicable!

It seems that Hagrid's resentment towards Madam Maxim is really deep enough!

Although the result was slightly different from what was expected, this matter was finally resolved!

Except for some Slytherin students, most people don't care whether Hagrid is a half-blood giant or not.

Everyone was very happy that he was able to return to school, although a large reason for this was because he changed the content of the curriculum.

I don't know if Hagrid is trying to make up for his fault with the snails, or because there are only two snails left, or because he wants to prove that if Professor Graplan can do it, he can do it too.

Anyway, after Hagrid came back to class, he continued Professor Graplan's class on unicorns.

It turns out that Hagrid knows no less about unicorns than he does about trolls.

Still, he clearly finds it a disappointment that the unicorns don't have tusks.

In the second week, Ivan and the others saw the two unicorn cubs that Hagrid had caught in the third-level protection of magical creatures class.

Cubs are not the same as adult unicorns, they are pure gold and very rare.

The girls were wild with joy when they saw them.

"These cubs turn silver at about two years old!" said Hagrid to the class. I'm more gullible when I'm young, I don't have much dislike for boys, come here, come closer, if you want, you can pat them, and give them these cubes to eat a few pieces..."

In class, all the students went up to touch the unicorn one by one, and everyone was very excited.

At the same time, everyone's impression of Hagrid changed drastically.

Campus life has returned to calm, and the next thing to consider is to help Ron get through the second game.

After Christmas, the game date is very close!

Harry and Hermione kept reminding Ron now and then, but he hadn't made any real progress with the golden egg.

Although he studied it every day, Ron didn't fully focus on it.

Apart from the daily sessions, he and Lavender were alone for longer and longer.

The two of them would sneak out in the evening, dating inside the castle, looking for empty classrooms, almost every day.

Ron and Lavender are progressing very fast, and both sides are very open in this regard, which makes Ivan very envious.

He and Hermione were alone every night too, but not all day long in that sort of thing.

Not to mention going to empty classrooms like Ron and Lavender, almost all of their time was spent in the library.

Only when they returned to the common room for supper late at night would they say a few ambiguous words of mutual concern.

Very plain, also very happy, very sweet.

This is enough to make Ivan feel satisfied, but if he can be more bottomless, he has no objection. .
