Rebirth of the Harry Potter - Chapter 492
Hagrid first said: “Of course I can’t because Mrs. Maxime (the headmaster of Beauxbatons School of Witchcraft and Wizardry) doesn’t like Grapp’s ‘little temper’ all the time, and doesn’t like me spending a lot of time taking care of him. He affected him. I communicated with Madame Maxime – for such reasons, the decision to send him out…”
“Well, it seems that I heard something that is not important.” Astoria muttered to herself.
“After discussing with Mrs. Maxime, I think that what Grapp needs most is the improvement of wisdom, which is the basis for him to survive in the magical world.”
“Otherwise, if he can’t communicate with other people normally, Grapp will not be accepted by the wizarding world anyway.”
“Now there is such an opportunity – derived from the “Ten Thousand Races Conference”, after the last meeting, many details and regulations were added.”
“One of them is that the Ministry of Magic proposes that, in order to facilitate communication between various races and wizards, some peculiar means can be used to help some members of some low-intelligence races to enlighten themselves. For example, the lizardmen who like to soak in mud pits , giants, ghouls…”
Astoria suddenly said: “Is it the sacred tree? Also called the tree of wisdom.”
“Yes, that’s right.” Hagrid nodded approvingly.
“It is the sacred tree that was discovered from the Praia Canyon 1,700 years ago. About every fifty years, the magic power it has accumulated will condense into purple flowers and float away. It’s a huge improvement, and it’s been transplanted into a room at the Ministry of Magic.”
Hagrid and Astoria chanted in unison the ancient, well-known mantra that awakens the Tree of Wisdom: “The Fruit of Wisdom in the Tree of Wisdom, and you and I under the Tree of Wisdom…”
“Stop, stop!” Harry snapped, “Do you still want to say that there are still red fruit and green bubbles?”
“Of course not.” Hagrid gave Harry a strange look.
Harry breathed a sigh of relief.
“You must have misremembered the name. It is Guoguohong and Bubble Green, two very famous wizards, who will hold the ceremony of enlightenment.”
“Hehe… So there are wizards with such names.” Harry laughed.
Astoria said: “They are two very kind and demanding elders. I know them because they are the second tutors my father found for me.”
“Stop talking about this, let’s continue the topic just now.” Harry forcibly changed the subject and said.
“Oh.” Hagrid continued, “I heard that the Ministry of Magic was going to implement this policy, so I sent an application form to the responsible department, written for Grapp.”
“Although it’s inappropriate to say it, it’s the truth – fortunately we went to the giant gathering place in the winter, the giant race has reduced a lot of personnel, and they currently have a lot of resentment against the Ministry of Magic, so no one wants to “invest” so quickly The Ministry of Magic camp, despite the warm and smooth stone houses and food promised by the Ministry of Magic, made them crave – besides, almost all giants would not admit that their brains were not smart enough, which gave Grapp the chance to be selected. ”
…
Harry looked at the huge body that was sleeping on the ground.
Hagrid looked just like an oversized human being, but Grapp looked like a deformed monster.
Grapp looked like a huge mound, and to the left of the mound was a large moss-covered rock that was actually his head.
It was almost a ball, covered with fist-curved, bushy phoenix-colored hair.
On the top of the head, the edge of a large, bulging ear can be seen, and the head grows directly on the shoulders, with almost no neck in between.
Harry felt a little familiar, and then pulled out a person from his nearly vanishing memory: Mr. Dursley, whom he had once called his uncle.
They are all Mr. Neckless.
Grapp was wearing a dirty brown smock that looked as if it had been roughly sewn from animal hides, and had a very broad back under the smock.
When Grapp slept, the rough seams between the hides were so taut that the clothes didn’t seem to fit well.
With his legs tucked under him, Harry could see two huge, dirty barefoot boards, the size of sleds, stacked on top of the Forbidden Forest’s mud.
…
“Look, Grapp’s character is actually quite good. He likes to be quiet,” Hagrid said.
“No, I think he just fell asleep,” Harry said.
“I feel the same way.” Astoria was no longer excited and joyful when she first arrived, and she stood beside Harry with little interest.
“Hagrid, what are those ropes for?” asked Astoria.
She had just noticed suddenly that some ropes a foot in diameter were tied to the tallest and thickest tree trunks nearby, and the other ends went all the way to the place where Grapp was curled up with his back to them.
“Um…Glopp likes to run around so much, so I’m leaving him here.” Hagrid defended his disobedient brother, “He’s really getting better and better, and he’s used to being around. Here it is. At first he would punch me like crazy, now it’s just a few punches…”
Harry: …
Astoria: …
“This is too close brother.” Astoria muttered.
It’s very likely that Harry and Astoria’s alienation and dislike of Grapp stings Hagrid’s heart, and he can’t wait to prove something.
“I’ll wake him up, and then… introduce you to me. I believe Grapp really wants to make new friends in his heart.”
“Wh…don’t!” Astoria almost jumped up. “Hagrid, no, don’t wake him up, really, we don’t need to…”
A giant like Grapp made Astoria disappointed with giants. Before she came, in her imagination, giants were like this: mighty and tall, standing there, thick as a mountain, firm eyes, skin as tough as copper walls and iron walls, Can take a lot of damage, wear animal leather armor, and hold weapons, even a wooden club. When he ran, the earth trembled under his feet, unstoppable.
They should be the best spokespersons for “Dragon Slayer”.
But the truth is that despite his size, Grapp’s first word that comes to mind is bloated and messy. UU reading www.uukanshu.com
If Astoria and Harry went to the giant’s tribe together on Christmas, I’m afraid she would be even more disappointed, because in the giant’s camp, the people inside are no different from pigs except for being huge, and they either eat or sleep every day. sleep and eat.
…
Hagrid didn’t listen to Astoria, he had stepped over the thick tree trunk in front of them and approached Grapp.
About ten feet away from Grapp, he picked up a large, broken branch from the ground.
He turned back and smiled at Harry and Astoria. “Don’t worry, it’s really nothing.” Reassuring them.
Then, with the tip of the big branch, he poked hard at the center of Grapp’s back.
“Hey, Grapp.”
Then Hagrid flew up—
