Chapter 344 Forget It



At this point, Harry suddenly realized something.

These professors at Hogwarts are all quite old, but they seem to have little experience in marriage.

There's no need to say much about that old bee Dumbledore.

Professor Flitwick is a half-elf. When he was young, not many people were interested in him. When he got older, there were some people who were willing to marry him because of his status, but Professor Flitwick looked down on them.

Professor Sprout should have experience in weddings.

But... as a true Hufflepuff, she has always lived a simple life, and now she still wears a patched hat that looks even older than the Sorting Hat - this is also one of the reasons why the Sorting Hat has the confidence to say that it looks good.

I'm afraid her wedding will be simple.

It is difficult for ordinary people to reach such a high spiritual level as hers.

There is no need to say much about Professor Snape, but as for Professor McGonagall, Harry felt that it was not polite to mention "marriage" in front of her.

As for the professors of other courses.

Professor Binns is a ghost, Trelawney is an alcoholic, and Professor Babbling of Ancient Runes is a bachelor. After all the calculations, only the librarian Madam Pince and the flying professor Madam Hooch are confirmed to be married.

Out of more than ten professors and more than twenty faculty members, only two could be picked to get married.

Harry sighed, "You can ask Madam Pince and Madam Hooch for more advice. They should have good experience in marriage."

Hagrid blushed, "No, not a wedding!"

"Not yet, not so soon. At least we have to wait until the matter of the mysterious man is dealt with."

He paused for a moment and asked quietly, "Madam Pince and Madam Hooch are very experienced, right?"

"They are probably the only two who have a normal marriage at Hogwarts," Harry replied.

Hagrid nodded and kept it in mind. "I'll ask later, but Harry, I asked you here today for something else, not this."

"I am not setting out in August to go with Olympe to find the giants."

Ron was a little surprised.

So they were not going on a trip, but were going to work for the Order of the Phoenix? That was not what my mother had told me.

"It's a very pleasant journey, Harry, you know." Hagrid waved his wand and poured tea for the three of them. "We went to the Alps together, climbed the Weisshorn, and spent a few wonderful nights there."

good.

Hearing this word, Ron's expression changed slightly. The incident of finding the skirt just now had not faded from his mind yet, and now he couldn't help but let his imagination run wild.

Hagrid went on: "The giants were driven away by wizards. They live in desolate places where Muggles rarely pass by."

"That way it's safe for wizards, giants, and Muggles. Of course... the living environment isn't very good."

"It was almost mid-August when Olym and I found the giant."

"To be honest, things started to get worse from then on. My mother has passed away. The current chief of the giant tribe is another giant who is more violent and fierce. We tried to persuade him, but he said that unless wizards are willing to give them a country, fertile land and resources, they will not listen to Dumbledore."

Harry interrupted: "Negotiations failed?"

"I could have tried it again." Hagrid sighed, his face becoming aggrieved, "but I discovered an unexpected existence."

He hesitated.

Harry narrowed his eyes, "Your mother remarried and gave birth to brothers and sisters for you?"

Hagrid nodded dejectedly, "Yes, of course... For giants, they have no concept of marriage. She just chose a stronger man."

"I have a half brother."

At this point, Hagrid's expression became strange.

"A family."

"His name is Grawp. He doesn't feel comfortable among the giants. He is... just like me, very short."

Ron looked up, examining Hagrid.

Short?

He may have some misunderstanding about the word.

"I mean compared to giants," Hagrid emphasized. "I'm a half-giant, so I'm much smaller than them. The same goes for Grawp, who's only sixteen feet."

Ron tilted his head back up.

Hagrid was only a little over eleven feet tall, sixteen feet, which was almost another third.

"I should have said that in class." Hagrid glanced at Ron. "A normal giant, after its infancy, can reach a height of twenty feet. Some strong giants can even grow to twenty-five feet."

"Glop was short and skinny, and his mother was dead, so he was always bullied."

"I couldn't bear it, and since the negotiations failed, I brought Grawp back."

Hermione exclaimed, "You brought a giant back and put him in the Forbidden Forest?"

Hagrid nodded.

Hermione frowned: "Hagrid, Professor Hagrid, you should know better than us what kind of creature a giant is."

In the magical world, there are many sub-human races, such as goblins and veela, who live together with humans and even intermarry with them - the veela have eliminated the discrimination against themselves by most wizards through their beauty and large-scale intermarriage with humans.

The Tamarinds, mermaids, and giants are the few sub-human races that are not very close to humans.

The centaurs are proud and self-righteous, and they are the children of nature. However, human wizards look at them with tinted glasses, and they cannot communicate with each other, so naturally they don't get along well. But at least the centaurs can communicate, and because of their eccentricity, they even have the highest status among all sub-human races.

Even within the Ministry of Magic, there were separate jobs for people who ran a department all by themselves.

Even though goblins, the sub-human race that runs Gringotts, can hold positions in the Ministry of Magic, the officials in charge of the Goblin Liaison Office, the department of the Ministry of Magic related to goblins, are still human wizards.

Mermaids exist because of their living environment. They live underwater, and their sounds do not constitute language in the air. Only in water can their calls become words that can be read by humans.

And the giant...

It’s because of the brain.

They are intelligent but not smart enough, and are naturally violent, brutal and ferocious, and like blood and killing. They can understand the rules set by human wizards and communicate with humans, but they are unwilling to abide by them, or it is difficult for them to abide by them for too long due to their nature.

Maybe it's okay for one or two days, but after a long time, they can't control themselves.

The giants had to be driven away and monitored by human wizards and could only live in inaccessible areas.

These creatures are dangerous and have a strong desire to attack.

"I know, of course I know." Hagrid sighed and shrank his head in grievance.

Hermione's tone became stern: "Although Professor Dumbledore emphasized that young wizards are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, you know that not many students will take this order seriously."

"Besides, the Care of Magical Creatures class is right next to the Forbidden Forest. What if..."

Hagrid shook his head quickly: "Nothing like that."

"I have placed Grawp deep in the Forbidden Forest. I have asked the centaurs and unicorns to keep an eye on him."

"And there will be patrols every night. I also consulted with Professor Flitwick to learn some tracking magic, although I haven't mastered it yet."

Harry nodded. "So you want me to make you a tracking map of the Forbidden Forest, like the one in Dumbledore's office?"

Hagrid Chicken Pecking nodded.

"That might be a little difficult." Harry reached out and tapped the Sorting Hat lightly. "Hogwarts itself is full of magic. When students enter, they sign a contract with the castle. The purpose of the Marauder's Map is to leverage the power of the contract and record every person who has signed a contract on the map."

A yellowed parchment appeared in Harry's hand. It was the map of the Forbidden Forest that he had drawn a few years ago.

"But the Forbidden Forest is different. It has no magic and will not sign a contract with anyone who enters it."

"It's difficult to achieve an effect like the Marauder's Map."

"I can give you this map."

Hagrid frowned. "Then Harry, can you cast a spell to seal off the Forbidden Forest until night time to prevent the little wizards from breaking in?"

"Let's talk about the Marauder's Map." Harry changed the subject. "Although it's difficult, it's not impossible."

"Ravenclaw once signed a pledge with the Forbidden Forest."

Hermione and Ron immediately pricked up their ears and listened carefully. This was something that was not written in "Hogwarts, A History of the School".

"The creatures in the Forbidden Forest cannot harm the lives of Hogwarts students." Harry said softly.

Hermione nodded.

No wonder Dumbledore, despite repeatedly stressing that students are not allowed to enter the Forbidden Forest, didn't pay much attention to this matter...

There has never been a case of a student dying in the forbidden forest in the school's history.

It turns out there was such a vow.

Harry took a deep breath: "But, there are two exceptions."

"An eight-eyed giant spider is not considered a creature of the Forbidden Forest. Only when your little pet dies and then an eight-eyed giant spider is born in the Forbidden Forest, it may be considered a creature of the Forbidden Forest."

"Another surprise is your brother, Grawp."

Hagrid was startled, feeling even more ashamed, and lowered his head even lower.

The only two dangerous factors in the Forbidden Forest are all caused by oneself.

Harry glanced at him and stopped talking. Unlike Hagrid and Snape, he couldn't say too many bad things, otherwise it would really hurt his fragile and soft heart. "I can try to leverage the magical power of the oath in the Forbidden Forest, connect it with Hogwarts, and make a marauder's map of the Forbidden Forest."

"certainly……"

"I am a student of Hogwarts, and I have a Sorting Hat, which means I can represent Hogwarts."

"The other side of the oath needs your help, Hagrid."

Hagrid thought for a while, then hesitantly said, "How can I help? Dig out the forbidden forest?"

"Creatures from the Forbidden Forest," Harry sighed. "Unicorns, centaurs, thestrals, and so on..."

"Of course, you can also call your friend the Acromantula to make up for the missing content in the contract."
