Harry and the others quickly went deep into the Forbidden Forest.

In the gloom, Hagrid's huge black figure made the atmosphere even more gloomy.

In the utter silence, any sound seemed dangerous.

There was the sound of a twig snapping, and there was a slight rustle of something moving quickly overhead.

Astoria saw that it was a bird with a round body and sharp fangs. The black bird squatted on a high branch, staring at them with faint red eyes, full of unknown.

Astoria trembled and moved closer to Harry.

The depths of the Forbidden Forest don't seem to be that interesting, so I won't come next time.

Harry took a cold look at the bird that looked a bit like a crow.

Some wise it suddenly felt boundless death enveloped it, so it wanted to flap its wings and fly away.

It's just that it has no chance.

I saw that a fire ignited from inside its body, swallowing it instantly.

His flesh and blood collapsed and became a small pile of ashes on the branches.

"???" Astoria blinked suspiciously.

Why did that scary strange bird just now disappear?

Could it be that it was too dark and misread it?

Astoria asked, "Can I light my wand?"

She really didn't like this gloomy environment, and before Harry could speak, she couldn't wait to read: "Luminescence!"

The tip of her wand shone brightly, and the figures of the three of them and the surrounding trees became much clearer in the flickering light.

"Oh...well," Hagrid whispered, turning around now.

According to his habit, he never made light in the Forbidden Forest.

Because after exposing oneself, it is too easy to cause the attack of other dangerous creatures in the Forbidden Forest.

But since Harry is here, he has no objection, he believes in Harry's strength.

With the light, Astoria's expression became much more relaxed.

"If it's going to be light, it's not enough," said Harry.

He stretched out his palm to the tip of Astoria's wand, flicked it lightly, and actually took off the bright light.

The ball of light at Harry's fingertips suddenly expanded and became several times brighter.

Then it popped out.

When in the air, it splits into two and flies to both sides.

Freeze in the air.

thump thump thump.

The light cluster stretched forward continuously, and two rows of energy-saving and environmentally friendly "street lights" floating in the air appeared, illuminating the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest.

The road was illuminated so finely that it was like daylight.

"Oh..." Hagrid wanted to say something.

"Chichi..." A chaotic voice suddenly sounded in the silent surroundings.

Many snakes, insects, rats and ants were illuminated by the sudden light, and rushed from the ground and under the leaves, turning into black shadows and wandering into the distance.

Astoria laughed out loud, this time taking the lead with confidence and boldness.

…………

"Hagrid, what's the matter?" Harry asked.

Hagrid's face was in the light, and the expression of nervousness was clearly visible.

"Okay," said Hagrid, "well... I'll tell you slowly... here's the thing..."

He took a deep breath: "I have to send Glop out now... I really haven't fulfilled my responsibility as a brother."

"But this is the best choice..." His voice trembled.

"I don't think there's anything wrong with what you're doing," Harry said decisively.

Hagrid took out a huge handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his eyes: "But I promised my mother to take good care of him, if it wasn't a last resort..."

Harry didn't know what to say to comfort him, so he patted Hagrid's arm and said with emotion: "This is the second child. It's not surprising that a mother would give the second child to the first child to raise."

"Ahem." Hagrid coughed violently, choking his nose, for he wiped his nose vigorously and then threw away the handkerchief.

"Come on... just go a little further and you'll be there."

They walked for another 15 minutes.

Astoria asked, "Hagrid, how far is it?"

Hagrid whispered, "It's here."

"Be careful and be quiet, don't wake him up, otherwise..."

Astoria opened her eyes wide and looked around, trying to find a giant hiding behind a tree.

She came here just to see the giant.

But it was bare all around, not a single tree, but dozens of broken roots, and piles of trunks and branches around the clearing like fences or barricades.

Astoria saw nothing but a huge, smooth mound in front of them, almost as tall as Hagrid.

Suddenly she felt terrified, thinking that the mound must be the lair of some dangerous monster.

"Hagrid, where's your brother? Could it be that..." Astoria pointed to the cave in the mound, wanting to ask.

But she suddenly understood something.

Because, far away, there was a faint, rhythmic rumbling sound, which sounded like a person snoring.

It's nothing more than the sound has been amplified hundreds of times.

The source of that sound was the "mound".

The mound, large enough for her, Harry, and Hagrid to stand on easily, was slowly rising and falling with deep, grunting breaths.

It's not a mound at all!

This is obviously a giant sleeping on the ground with its back bent.

Astoria was taken aback.

Pointing to the huge creature on the ground, then pointing to Hagrid, his big eyes were full of shock, and he said, "Aren't you his brother, but why is there such a difference? I always thought that all giants are like you."

Hagrid said, "I'm half-blood, half-giant."

"My brother Grop—actually we are half-brothers," Hagrid corrected. "My mother left my father after she gave birth to me and found another giant, and she gave birth to Grop in the tribe of giants." general."

"Then why is he here? He should be with his parents and other giants."

Hagrid said sadly: "He is too short, and he will always be the one who gets bullied among the giants, so I brought him to England."

"Hopefully I can teach him to speak, to be polite, like I am now, so that he can live in the wizarding world."

"Short?" Astoria felt that he needed to reshape his three views.

Although Glop didn't stand up, Astoria looked at his hill-like figure and estimated that it was at least five meters high.

What concept?

About the height of three adults stacked together, almost two stories high.

Hitting a half-blood giant like Hagrid is like punching a child, let alone a normal person.

"Then why did you have the idea of ​​handing him over to the Ministry of Magic again?" Harry was curious about the change in this matter.

"This actually has a lot to do with you." Hagrid looked at Harry gratefully with moist eyes.

Harry was even more confused, waiting for Hagrid's explanation.

Hagrid slowly talked about the reason of the matter...
