After hearing what Hagrid said, Kyle couldn't help rubbing his forehead. There were a total of seventy or eighty giants, but he only persuaded six or seven, which was only one tenth.

Moreover, if that were all, even though the number is smaller, there are still some, so it is not a wasted trip.

But even this amount is still just an unknown number...

Just like Hagrid said just now, only if they are unwilling to obey Gao Gao Ma's rule will they join his side.

If that Tall Horse was really as bloodthirsty and cruel as Hagrid said, how could he tolerate the betrayal of his giants and their escape?

Besides, even if they managed to get away with it, they would only “might” join.

There are two conditions, and the probability is lower than the other.

To put it bluntly, Hagrid's trip was completely in vain.

Kyle tapped the table with his finger and said thoughtfully, "How strong is the giant?"

"Very powerful." Hagrid said, "Giants are like dragons. They can ignore most magic. Moreover, they are extremely strong and have amazing endurance. Wizards can only wait for death when they encounter them. They can't even run away... Why are you asking this?"

"Nothing, just asking casually. After all, they will become enemies soon, so it's always good to know more about them." Kyle said.

After a moment's silence, he suddenly asked, "Hagrid, are there any other giants elsewhere?"

"No, they're all there." Hagrid shook his head, his tone somewhat sad.

"There used to be more than a hundred tribes in the world, but now there are only so many left. The wizards killed some, but most died from cannibalism. The giants are not suitable for living together, but in order to survive and not be killed by the wizards, they have to stay together."

"I see." Kyle glanced at Hagrid.

He could see that Hagrid had feelings for the giants... No, it couldn't be called feelings, it should be said that it was a resonance between blood. After all, Hagrid's mother was a giant, and this connection was destined.

He cared about the giant tribe. Even if he disliked the brutal giants, Hagrid could not be completely indifferent to their plight.

Kyle thought for a moment and asked, "You just said that it is because the giant Gogogoma likes killing that he is inclined towards the Death Eaters, right?"

Hagrid nodded.

The previous giant Gugo actually had the idea of ​​standing on their side, but who could have thought that at this critical moment, he died and his head was chopped off by Gao Gaoma.

The efforts of himself and Maxim were wasted in the blink of an eye.

"The Death Eaters probably planned this long ago, and that's why they prepared the goblin's sword in advance." Kell paused, and subconsciously lowered his voice and said, "If... I mean, if the giants replaced a new Gorgon, would the situation change?"

"Perhaps, but it's difficult." Hagrid said, "Gao Gaoma is the biggest giant there, more than three feet taller than the other giants. With that sharp goblin sword, no giant can match him."

"You can't do it either?" Kyle asked.

"No." Hagrid said seriously, "The biggest reason why giants hate wizards is that wizards will use magic on them. If I kill a giant with magic, they will immediately stand against us.

"Even when the Death Eaters wanted to recruit them, they only provided weapons to Gao Gao Ma instead of directly helping him kill Gugo before. It's the same principle."

The room fell silent again, with only the crackling of the fire in the fireplace to be heard.

"What if it's a magical creature?" Kyle's voice sounded a little vague, "Like a lost dragon... or something more deadly."

"That's even more impossible." Hagrid waved his hand and said, "There are at least seventy giants there. No magical creature would be willing to provoke them, not even a dragon."

The copper kettle on the stove made a humming sound.

"Okay, Kyle, that's not something you should worry about." Hagrid picked up the copper kettle and poured boiling water into two bucket-shaped cups.

"Tell me about the situation at Hogwarts. I don't know what has happened during this period... How is Harry..."

"Although I don't want to worry you..." Kyle sighed, "But his recent condition has not been good. He encountered a Dementor during the holiday."

"Dementors! How is this possible? It can't be real!" Hagrid's voice suddenly rose.

"It's true," said Kyle. "The Dementors attacked Little Whinging, but don't worry, Harry is fine. He used the Patronus Charm to drive them off. But that's why he was interrogated by magic, for using magic in front of Muggles."

"How could they do this!" Hagrid said angrily, "Harry was trying to save his life. What did he do wrong?"

"The trouble he's having now is Umbridge."

"Who is Umbridge?"

"She's from the Ministry of Magic..."

As he was talking, Kyle suddenly stopped and said loudly in Hagrid's puzzled eyes: "If you continue to be stubborn, Harry's situation will only get worse. Choosing the Ministry of Magic is the right path."

"Kyle, what are you talking about..."

His words were drowned out by a sudden knock on the door.

Hagrid looked towards the window beside the door and saw a short, fat figure swaying on the thin curtains.

Kyle shook his head, motioned Hagrid to stop talking, and went to open the door.

Although Hagrid didn't understand, he did it anyway. He pushed Fang, who was scratching at the door, aside with his foot and pulled the door open.

Umbridge stood in the doorway, wearing a pink fluffy cloak and a hat with earflaps that must have been the same color.

She was not even half as tall as Hagrid, and could only lean back to see Hagrid's face.

"So," she said, loud and slow, "you're Hagrid, aren't you?"

Without waiting for Hagrid to reply, she walked into the room.

"Ah, Kyle." She said in surprise, "No wonder I felt the voice in the room was a little familiar just now. It turns out you are here too."

"Yes, Professor Umbridge," said Kell. "I have a good relationship with Hagrid, and I don't want to see him go astray."

"A wise choice." Umbridge smiled happily, although her laughter made Hagrid uncomfortable.

"Well... I don't want to be rude." Hagrid looked at her, "But who are you anyway?"

"My name is Dolores Umbridge."

"Are you the Umbridge?" Hagrid glanced at Kyle subconsciously.

Kyle's behavior just now was so strange, could it be because of this person?

Hagrid thought this in his heart, but didn't show it on the surface.

"But I remember you weren't from the Ministry of Magic? I've seen you before, next to Fudge."

"Yes, I am the Senior Undersecretary responsible to the Minister," said Umbridge. "I am also the Defense Against the Dark Arts Professor and the Senior Inquisitor of Hogwarts."

"That's very brave of you." Hagrid seemed not to have heard the rest of her words. "Not many people are willing to teach this nowadays... How about a cup of tea?"

He poured another glass of water and grabbed a handful of tea leaves.

Umbridge looked at the chipped cup with her brows knitted together.

"No need." She tried hard to hide the disgust in her tone.

"I'm here to tell you... As a senior investigator, I have a necessary mission, which is to investigate the teaching of other professors."

"You want to investigate us?"

“Yes, the minister is determined to weed out unqualified professors.”

I don’t know if it was because Kyle was here, but Umbridge didn’t say much. She just walked around the room and prepared to leave.

"We will meet again soon." Umbridge stood on the steps outside the door and turned back to say, "Hagrid, I hope you can make the right choice by then."
