Chapter 717 The Giant of Sicily

While the rumors were spreading rapidly in the castle, Aiwen and the others were also discussing what was happening outside Hogwarts.

Voldemort did not make public the news of his resurrection. He disappeared and hid in the dark just like Karkaroff.

Ai Wen knew that he was probably frightened by his wand and felt that the power was not enough

In any case, Voldemort did not act on the bright side, which is what Ivan and Dumbledore hoped.

Everyone is not ready, Voldemort needs time, they need time, the real confrontation has not yet begun.

But the most direct result of this situation is that Fudge is more convinced that Dumbledore is talking nonsense.

"Fudge is too much, he dared to question Dumbledore!" Hagrid said unhappily when he came to visit Ivan, Harry and Ron, "If Dumbledore hadn't supported him back then, he wouldn't have been a magician at all. Minister."

"We all know what kind of man Fudge is!" said Ron, the bandages off his body. "My mother always said all these years, stupid Fudge and the stupid policies he made. In this way, very stubborn and prejudiced, look at my father, he was treated unfairly in the Ministry."

"The most unbelievable thing for me is that he actually summoned a dementor from Azkaban into Hogwarts." Harry said, "What the hell was he thinking? Barty Crouch Jr. was subdued And he thought he might hurt him."

Indeed, the dementor thing is too grotesque to be believed by any measure.

Ivan later learned that after the frequent attacks of vampires and Mr. Crouch's accident, Fudge ordered the dementors in Azkaban to be on standby at all times, and then asked the Aurors to take it to Honolulu through the prepared portkey. Germaud

The dementor that sucked the soul of Barty Crouch Jr. traveled from Azkaban to Hogwarts in less than half an hour.

Judging from the consistent performance of the Ministry of Magic, this efficiency is simply unimaginable.

The Hogwarts defense system has a big loophole in the portkey. As long as someone from the Ministry of Magic cooperates, anyone can make a Hogwarts portkey. Even Keresis can do it. It is estimated that Dumbledore Lido has recognized this.

He'd probably perfect this as quickly as possible, taking the magical authority to make Portkeys away from the Ministry of Magic.

"Yeah, I know Fudge is stupid, but I thought he would be more cautious about that man." Hagrid said, waving his hand impatiently, "with so many facts in front of him, he actually did not see!"

"He just ignored those things, and Fudge is very clear that people don't want to see Voldemort come back." Ivan said, then sat up from the bed, "He wants to maintain the status quo and continue to be his own Minister of Magic, not happen War. If Voldemort returns, the wizarding world will inevitably fall into panic, which is not conducive to his rule. Many people, like him, do not believe in us, and do not want to believe in the fact that Voldemort is resurrected."

"I've known You-Know-Who's coming back!" said Hagrid. "All these years I've known, I've known he's there, bided my time, it's bound to happen. Now that it's happened, we have to admit it. "

"You're right!" Ivan nodded, "The first thing we have to do now is to admit the reality."

"Yes, we have to fight. We can prevent the mysterious man from gaining power and dominating the world. Of course, that is Dumbledore's plan. To be honest, Dumbledore is really an amazing person. As long as he is around, I will Don't worry too much." Hagrid continued, "It's no use sitting and worrying, what should come will come, and we will accept it when it comes."

On the matter of Voldemort's resurrection, Hagrid showed wisdom beyond imagination, much better than most people.

Only then did Aiwen understand why Dumbledore was willing to trust Hagrid without reservation.

Although he is careless, always making things worse, and has no resistance to dangerous magical creatures, he is never confused in such a big matter.

"Don't talk about Fudge, Hagrid, tell me about you and Madam Maxime!" Harry asked, "Ivan said that Dumbledore asked you and Madam Maxime to his office, what does he want you to do?" ?”

"Oh, he found some work for me and Olim"

"Who is Olim?" Ivan, Harry, and Ron all stared at him in surprise.

"It's Madame Maxime, so it goes without saying!" Hagrid said, seeming a little embarrassed, and hastily shared the rock cakes he brought with everyone, "He hopes to contact the giant and let us do this. Send them a message. Olim will go with me too, I persuaded her that we will work together and set off to find the hidden giant"

"Where are those giants?" Ivan asked.

"They are near Sicily, which is where the giants were born and where they last survived." Hagrid said, "Don't ask me any more specific things, I won't tell you, you know, I need Confidential."

Sicily belongs to Italy and is the largest and most densely populated island in the Mediterranean, very prosperous.

It's hard to imagine that the giants are hiding in such a place.

But in Muggle mythology, Sicily is indeed famous for producing giants.

It is said that even this name comes from a certain giant in Greek mythology.

This island is very famous both in the Muggle world and in the wizarding world. On the Strait of Messina between Italy and Italy, there is a very well-known siren Scylla. They are distant relatives of mermaids and are extremely dangerous.

When Aiwen was learning the mermaid language, he had seen this information from the library.

Similar to merfolk, sirens also communicate in merfolk's language.

Their upper body is the image of a very beautiful human female, but their barking sound is like a dog barking.

Because they have dog heads around their waists, the number varies, and gradually increases according to their strength, up to six,

Each dog has a long neck with three rows of sharp teeth, and two arms hanging around the waist.

In the past, this kind of sea monster would use singers to confuse and eat lost sailors. However, after the Italian Ministry of Magic and the International Federation of Wizards designated an area to manage special sea monsters, such tragedies occurred more frequently Greatly reduced!

Also, when talking about Sicily and the Kraken, one has to mention Charybdis near them, the maelstrom monster in the mythology.

In the real world, there is indeed a terrifying vortex, which will appear from time to time and engulf passing ships
