Chapter 488 Giants and Half-Blooded Giants, Half Brothers

"Hagrid, who is this?" Hermione's face 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 you raising giant monsters, three-headed dogs, acromantulas and even fire dragons, but this time it's really a bit exaggerated.

Out of curiosity, did Dumbledore know about this before he left? "

"I probably don't know." Hagrid said falteringly, with eyes dodging, "It took me several months to bring him back."

"Why?" Hermione cried anxiously, "I remember you said they didn't want to come."

"Yeah, he doesn't want to come, but I have to bring him here," said Hagrid dejectedly. "He's so small that the other giants bully him."

"Small?" Hermione laughed angrily, "You are just a little bit in front of him, and we are probably only slightly bigger than a bug in front of him."

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

You have nothing to do with him, and he left you covered in bruises..."

"He's my brother," said Hagrid suddenly, tears streaming down his cheeks and into his bushy beard.

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

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

"Now you understand?

My mother is gone, and now we are the only brothers left. "

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

"No." Hagrid's attitude was very firm, "The giant's brain is not good, he will fight every now and then, and he is the smallest, so he will only be bullied if he stays there.

And the Dark Lord has made an alliance with the giant, if I don't bring him back maybe, maybe..."

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

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

"He was not taught since he was a child, and my mother didn't like him because he was small, so he was a little weaker mentally.

The giant is also very powerful, and it is inevitable to have bumps and bumps in contact, but he has made great progress during this period of time. "

"You raised him as a magical animal?" Aaron asked meaningfully, "I mean tame."

"He's different from Fantastic Beasts, it's like the difference between friends and relatives."

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

"Watch him for me while I'm gone."

"This is a bit difficult." Aaron said with some embarrassment, "It's not that I'm spoiling the scenery, it's really difficult.

Going deep into the Forbidden Forest is dangerous enough. We simply don't have that much time and supplies to take care of a giant's daily life. "

"Not that much energy." Hermione added, "We're about to take the OWLs."

"It's not as troublesome as you think." Hagrid said hastily, "He can get his own food, and there's no shortage of food in the Forbidden Forest.

I just hope that you can spare some time every week to talk to him.

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

"That's right!" Aaron said in a strange way, "But communicating with him would put our lives in danger at any time. If he slaps us, we might die."

"But you must have no problem, right?" Hagrid looked at the two expectantly, and for some reason they couldn't bear to refuse his sincere and tearful eyes.

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

"Huh?" Hermione froze for a moment, and said with some uncertainty, "I can only say that I will do my best."

"Then I will reluctantly agree."

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

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

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

He let out a loud roar, and all the surrounding birds flew away in fear.

Aaron looked up at the giant, a big ugly face, a thick and short nose, a crooked mouth full of crooked yellow teeth.

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

"Hey! I promised early." Aaron regretted secretly. In his opinion, except that Gropp is stronger than the troll, there seems to be no big difference in other aspects.

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

"Don't be nervous." Aaron said softly, "It's not like we haven't seen bigger ones, think about three-headed dogs, giants are actually like that."

"You can really comfort people." Hermione wanted to cry without tears.

"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?"

"Hehe! You underestimate me, you still use me to protect you in such a small situation?"

Hermione froze for a moment, then shook off Aaron's arm, "Damn straight man, you."

Aaron:  …

This is indeed a small scene!

"Glop." Hagrid yelled patiently from below, "I brought people to see you, and let them take care of you for a while while I'm away, do you hear me?"

Gropp ignored him, because he was not in a good mood because he didn't find the bird. He began to compete with the big tree tied to him, grabbed the treetop and pulled it out.

"No, Grop, you can't do that," Hagrid yelled, and poked Gropp's knee with the branch in his hand.

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

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

Before he could finish speaking, Gropp sped up and rushed over, grabbing Hermione straight with one hand.

"Ah!" Hermione was stunned, shivering and screaming on the spot.

Aaron made a decisive decision and pulled her behind him.

"Abe."

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

"Roar!"

The white light suddenly illuminated a range of tens of meters around, and a pure white dragon about ten meters flapped its wings and slowly lifted off the ground.

It exudes blue-white light all over its body, which is extremely sacred without losing the slightest majesty.

Gollum!

The sound of swallowing saliva was very clear, and Hermione and Hagrid watched this scene in shock.

They had never seen such a beautiful dragon, and even the Australian Opaleye was probably not a tenth of it.

The dragon took a deep breath, and sprayed its white breath on Glop, seemingly silently mocking: Little one.

The giant who was aggressive before suddenly fell to the ground. It's not that he can't afford it, it's really that he can't afford it.

This dragon was more than twice his size, taller than the giants who often bullied him in the tribe, and it didn't mean to fight at all.

"This, this, this..." Hermione couldn't speak very well, "Abe, I don't remember it being this big!"

"How fresh!" Aaron couldn't tell whether to laugh or cry, "The last time you saw it change must be a few years ago, my dragon cub must not have changed at all in a few years!

He is no longer a cub now, he can be regarded as a qualified young dragon. "

"Young dragon?" Hermione's eyes widened in astonishment, and she said in disbelief, "This is a young dragon? Then how big will it grow when it becomes an adult?"

"Er...don't know, but sure I can keep him as a cat forever.

And it can definitely handle small situations like this, too. "

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

"It's so beautiful." Hagrid admired from the bottom of his heart. "I've never seen such a beautiful creature. Unicorns and Veela are far worse than it."

"Hagrid, can we get down to business?

I think your brother will be less impulsive now. "

Hagrid came to his senses, smiled sheepishly, and then looked at Gropp who was sitting on the ground.

"Glop, don't arrest people casually, that's impolite.

The two of them will come to see you instead of me in the future, and they can be regarded as your new friends. "

Gropp nodded half-understood, then nervously pointed at Abe, "It...it..."

"What do you mean?" Aaron asked puzzled.

Hagrid hesitated, "Glop is asking if Abe is a friend."

"Barely... count it!"

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

Abe let out a low voice, and a dragon claw pushed Grapp back.

"Uh... It doesn't matter now, Abe wants to break up with him."

......

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

If Glop can't beat Abe, he won't have the ability to hurt Aaron and the others, and he doesn't have to worry about safety.

Hermione's mood also relaxed a lot, holding the shrunken Abe in her arms, the full sense of security made her feel that the Forbidden Forest is not so dangerous anymore, and she can come and go freely.

With such a giant dragon guarding them, let alone a giant, they can handle another one.

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

Hagrid was about to pick up his bow and crossbow, and became alert.

Hermione also picked up her wand, but her face was full of doubts, "Shouldn't the centaurs be enemies?"

“It used to be that way, but it’s really hard to say now.

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

Coupled with the attitude of Umbridge and the Ministry of Magic behind her towards the centaurs, we are not welcome. "

"You are very correct." A deep voice came from the side, followed by four or five centaur, "You are not welcome in this forest."

"Hello, Margery." Hagrid said vigilantly.

"Let's go now." Aaron said immediately.

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

"Damn it! You can see this?" Aaron blurted out subconsciously. He was really shocked. He didn't expect that people in another world could know what happened in another world through astrology.

"Have you ever saved a centaur?" Hermione asked in a daze.

"When I was traveling last summer, I happened to meet the centaurs who were in trouble, so I helped them out." Aaron said half-truthfully, then straightened his back and looked at the centaurs, "Then please give me a Save face, don't make such a tense situation, you guys know Hagrid well, there may be some misunderstanding."

"I'm afraid it won't work." Margaret said lightly, "You have shown great kindness to the centaur, we will remember it in our hearts, we will be grateful, and will give you enough respect and necessary help.

But Hagrid is another matter. We have already discussed it, and this person is not allowed to appear in this forest again. "

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

"It is a disgrace that he should not spread our knowledge and secrets among humans," said Bane the centaur. "Our habits and laws are different from humans. Firenze has betrayed and insulted us."

Aaron and Hermione glanced at each other, but were also speechless.

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

"Hagrid, we warned you, but you broke into our woods anyway."

"Your forest?" Hagrid scolded angrily. "This is not your forest. It's up to you to decide who will come and go."

"But it's not up to you to decide." Margaret said, "We let you go this time because you have cubs around you."

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

"I don't." Hermione said immediately, "The elective course I took is arithmetic and divination, which has nothing to do with Firenze."

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

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

"I won't stop coming to the woods just because of your few words." Hagrid said cursingly.

"We know what you keep in the woods, and our patience is almost at the end."

"Then just be patient for a while longer!" Aaron said helplessly, "We promised to take good care of that creature when he was away."

"Creature?" Hagrid was taken aback for a moment, "Isn't it appropriate to say that!"

"It's better than talking about giants." Hermione said with difficulty.

The horsemen looked at each other, but Margaret stood up, "If this is your request, we can agree, but he can't leave that area."
