Chapter 644 Hagrid Returns
Chapter 644 Hagrid returns
After leaving the school hospital, Kyle did not mail the letter immediately. Instead, he waited until noon before taking the letter and the photos he had just sent to the owl loft.
Rodan was so recognizable that Kyle wasn't sure whether Lucius would just drive it away because he didn't want to have anything to do with him, so it would be more appropriate to choose another owl.
Kyle looked around the owl loft and quickly selected a tawny barn owl and tied the envelope to its leg.
"Then trouble you."
The owl nodded, flapped its wings and flew away.
Kyle was just about to go back to the castle, but when he turned around, he saw a pair of sharp eyes staring at him.
"Ah, Laton...you are here, really, I didn't find you just now..." Kyle said dryly: "Actually, um...this is not a good job...you don't need to go there in person... …”
As soon as Kyle spoke, all the feathers on Raton's neck stood up, making it look like a large Quaffle.
It didn't listen to Kyle's explanation at all, smacked its lips angrily, made a dull clicking sound, opened its wings and flew away.
"I should have come when it wasn't around." Kyle rubbed his forehead.
Just as he was about to chase him out, he suddenly heard an angry roar.
"Get away...you beast, get away!"
Kyle quickly quickened his pace.
Outside the owl loft, Filch was holding a wooden stick with a hook and waving it vigorously.
There were two owls above his head, one of which was Raton who had just left. At this time, it was flying angrily in the air, dodging Filch's stick and hitting him with its broad wings. head.
Rodon's strength was beyond the reach of ordinary owls, and every blow made Filch retreat.
In addition to Raton, there is also a white snowy owl next to him.
"Hedwig?" Kyle called.
The white owl immediately flew over and landed on Kyle's shoulder.
Only then did Kyle notice that its feathers were unusually disheveled, with many feathers folded upside down, one wing was injured and bent at a strange angle, and there was a letter on its claws.
"Laton, wait a moment." Kyle shouted.
Whether he had beaten enough or heard Kyle's voice, Raton stopped pestering Filch and flew to a nearby tree.
Filch threw the wooden stick in his hand angrily, but the next second, the wooden stick turned around and fell into Kyle's hand.
There is also a white feather stuck on the hook at the top of the stick.
"Filch, are you intercepting students' letters?" Kyle said coldly.
"This is a normal inspection," Filch said gruffly. "Give me back the stuff, or I'll..."
"Crack!"
In front of Filch, Kyle threw the wooden stick to the ground and broke it with one foot.
Hedwig squealed excitedly.
"Checking? How come I didn't know Hogwarts would still check students' letters in this way."
Filch was also frightened by this sudden move and couldn't help but take two steps back.
But he soon regained his courage and said with a stiff neck: "This is what Professor Umbridge agreed to. I just followed it."
"Nonsense." Kyle narrowed his eyes, "Intercepting letters privately is against the Wizarding Act. As the senior deputy minister of the Ministry of Magic, how could Professor Umbridge allow you to do this? Don't even think about slandering Umbridge. Professor Qi.”
Filch turned green.
Of course he knew it was illegal, but he was really carrying out Umbridge's request.
It's just that at this time, Kyle no longer wanted to talk to him anymore, and he didn't give him a chance to explain.
"I'll tell the professor about it."
After saying that, Kyle took Hedwig out of the owl loft and walked towards the castle.
Halfway there, Hedwig called softly twice, and then flew towards Gryffindor's tower, apparently to deliver a message to Harry.
Kyle wanted to go back to the dormitory to get a bottle of owl tonic and send it to Harry, but when he came to the gate of the castle, he suddenly stopped.
Not far away, on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, bursts of white smoke were constantly rising from the chimney of the wooden house that had been silent for a long time.
"Hagrid is back?"
Kyle immediately changed direction, crossed the frost-covered grass, quickly came to the wooden door, reached out and knocked on it twice.
A familiar barking sound came from the house.
"Shut up, Yaya!"
The door opened, and Hagrid's head emerged from the crack.
<divclass="contentadv"> "Kyle...how did you know I was back." Hagrid's voice was very happy.
"I saw smoke..." Kyle said, "Someone must have used the fireplace."
"I should have thought of it earlier." Hagrid said with a smile, "Come in... get out of the way, Fang, don't block the way..."
Hagrid opened the door a little wider, and as soon as Kyle squeezed in, he closed the door again.
There was a strong musty smell in the room, but Kyle ignored it and stared at Hagrid.
There were dark red blood clots in his hair, both eyes were swollen to a slit, his chin was still bleeding, and two teeth were missing. He looked like he had been roughly beaten by someone... and he was still pressed. The kind that beats people on the ground.
"It's okay...it's okay..." Hagrid said, covering his eyes with his hands, "I want to drink something...Oh, the tea is moldy. How about some water in this damn weather."
"It's a giant," Kyle said suddenly.
Hagrid's hand froze, "What?"
"I mean." Kyle said firmly: "The injury on your face was probably caused by the giant."
"No..." Hagrid said firmly, but his voice was very low.
"What is that?" Kyle's voice was calm. "There are no traces of magic on your body, which means you are not a wizard. It is impossible for a normal wizard to beat you like this with his fists."
"Yes...it's a fire dragon." Hagrid's eyes dodge, "I went to Romania..."
"Sorry, forgive my ignorance..." Kyle raised his eyebrows, "I still don't know which kind of fire dragon likes to fight hand-to-hand. They usually prefer to use flames."
Kyle looked him up and down and said, "But there are no traces left by the flames on your body."
"Oh, I remembered wrongly, it's Chimeramon..."
"The Chimera's most powerful weapons are its fangs and claws."
"I……"
"Hagrid, are you testing my knowledge of magical creatures?"
"boom!"
A copper kettle was placed heavily on the stove.
"I know that your Care of Magical Creatures class is the best in the school." Hagrid muttered helplessly: "But now I really hope you won't be so smart."
"So you admitted it, huh?" Kyle said with a smile.
"This is not something that a child of your age should inquire about." Hagrid stared at him sternly with his uninjured eyes, "Don't ask, Kyle, this matter is strictly confidential and I won't tell it."
"Okay then." Kyle said happily.
This surprised Hagrid. The excuse he finally thought of just now seemed to be useless.
Only then did he remember that Kyle and Harry were different in that they did not have the habit of asking for details...
"Luckily they are two people." Hagrid thought happily.
On some of the most critical issues, he thought he could fool Harry, but it was absolutely impossible to fool Kyle.
If Kyle likes to ask questions about everything as much as Harry does, then the top-secret mission assigned to him by Dumbledore will be a complete failure...
In addition, there is a high probability that some information that he does not want others to know will be exposed directly...such as the thing he deliberately hid in the Forbidden Forest.
"I just want to know which side the giants are on." Kyle continued to ask: "This is what you are doing this time, to contact the giants as Dumbledore's envoy."
Hagrid gradually stopped smiling and his face became serious.
"Originally, they were on our side." He said, "But Giant Gugo... you should know, refers to the leader of the giants."
Kyle nodded.
"The Guge we came into contact with was decapitated on the third day by another giant named Gao Gaoma, using a sword made of goblins."
"The fairy's sword?" Kyle said, "That must not be a gift from you."
"It was sent by the Death Eaters." Hagrid's voice was low. "McNeil is a madman. He likes killing as much as Gao Gao Ma. They are very compatible."
"So, we have to face all the giants next?"
"Maybe not all..." Hagrid said, "In short, some changes happened in the middle, and the giants started fighting again. Olim and I persuaded six or seven giants at one time... If they were unwilling to obey Gao Gaoma The rule...maybe come to our side."
"How many giants are there in total?" Kyle asked.
"Hmm... almost seventy or eighty."
