Chapter 374 Giant Grawp
It was already noon when he left Dumbledore's office. Although Dumbledore forced Harry to eat a lot of sizzling bees and comforted him for a while, Harry's mood was still not high.
Mike understands this very well.
Harry had been looking forward to returning to the court for a long time, but now he couldn't play Quidditch due to some reasons of his own, which made him feel extremely disappointed.
Of course, he didn't mean to anger Mike.
Harry also knew very well in his heart that Mike was doing this for his own good.
However, he really couldn't accept this result.
On the other side, Mike had no intention of continuing to comfort Harry. He now had to arrange the matter of killing the python Nagini, so after leaving Dumbledore's office, Mike returned directly to the secret realm of the Freemasons.
"Beta, bring Arthur here to see you. You should know who I'm talking about, right? It's the security guard from Dolphin's Magic Drink Factory." As soon as he entered the secret realm of Freemasonry, Mike summoned Brother Shuke Beta and confronted him. They ordered, "Also, Shuke, you go prepare some refreshments."
"Yes Master!"
With two crisp finger snaps, the two brothers Shuke and Beta disappeared in front of Mike.
Nodding, Mike quickly walked into the study.
The Last Witcher - Arthur, the man and his master. Mike actually didn't forget about them after placing them in Dolphin's Magic Drink Factory.
On the contrary, Mike also gave them a very important task, which was to help Mike train recruits drawn from various factories.
Under their training, although today's Dolphin Magic Drink looks like an ordinary beverage processing factory, in fact, the employees inside have quite strong combat effectiveness.
But now, faced with the current situation where he cannot escape, he must send out masters to fight.
Letting Arthur deal with it is undoubtedly the best choice. After all, Arthur is not only superb in combat, but as a witcher, he also has very powerful skills against monsters and stealth. It is really difficult to bury him next to Arthur Weasley. The best choice.
With this in mind, Mike found a special piece of parchment in the study, spread it flat on the desk and started writing quickly.
This is a secret message to Uncle Mario. As an official of the Ministry of Magic, Arthur Weasley is not easy to track. You must know that the Ministry of Magic is now on high alert with the return of Dumbledore. Only Only with the help of Uncle Mario, a veteran nobleman, can his plan proceed smoothly.
"Zizzizi!"
With the sound of burning flames, a dark crow pattern appeared on the parchment that was full of writing.
This is a magic mark that belongs exclusively to Mike. Whether within the Los Santos Group or elsewhere, this represents Mike's personal presence.
And when Mike sealed the parchment he had written into the envelope, Beta also appeared in front of Mike with Arthur wearing a security uniform.
"Mike, long time no see. Do you have anything to do with me?"
Arthur had a sunny smile on his face, and his bright yellow eyes and the vertical pupils inside looked very mysterious.
He said casually and sat down in front of Mike minding his own business.
Shuke stepped on his feet and carefully placed a tray filled with tea and snacks in front of the two of them.
"Wuhu! There are also snacks, this is great." Arthur picked up a small cake and ate it unceremoniously, "This tastes... um... really good!"
While Arthur was eating, Mike was looking at him.
Compared with last time, Arthur had become taller and stronger at this time. From his bulging uniform, Mike could clearly feel the powerful power contained in his body.
Seeing this, Mike also had a smile on his face. Arthur's strength may be higher than he originally thought, so the success rate of his plan will be greatly improved.
"There is something that only you can do after thinking about it." Mike said with a smile, "So I have no choice but to ask you to take action again."
Taking a big sip of the fine Leviton black tea, Arthur said simply:
"Tell me, who are you going to teach this time?"
"No, no, no! This is a very dangerous mission."
"That's the best!" Arthur twisted his neck excitedly, making a crackling sound in his joints, "I'm almost rusty from being stuck in the factory all the time!"
A trace of surprise flashed across Mike's face. In his impression, Arthur was an honest man who respected the elderly and loved the young, but now Arthur was acting extremely belligerent.
As if he noticed the change in Mike's expression, Arthur showed a wry smile and said:
"To be honest, I'm really bored. When my master and I were in America, we could often go to the forest to hunt extraordinary creatures, but now that I'm here, apart from playing with those clumsy recruits, all I have to do every day is to entertain myself. It’s time to work out!
Of course, this does not mean that the home you prepared for us is not good. In fact, my master and I are very grateful to you. Especially my master, he is very old and it is time to find a place to retire. It's just...I'm just a little too bored! "
"I didn't think carefully." Mike shook his head speechlessly, "But I believe this mission should allow you to stretch your muscles."
Looking at Arthur's eager eyes, Mike continued:
"I have just received news that Voldemort will expel his pet, the python Nagini, to attack the father of the Weasley brothers, Arthur Weasley. So I hope you can do it without causing Arthur Weasley Hide next to him while Rai is paying attention. Finally, use this to kill the giant python!"
With that said, Mike took out a silver sword that shone with cold light from his seamless stretch pocket and handed it to Arthur with both hands.
"This...this is the Holy Sword!?"
Arthur opened his mouth wide and took the holy sword with both hands with a look of obsession.
I don't know how long it took, but Arthur finally woke up from his intoxication.
His eyes were full of excitement. He thought that since Mike had lent him an artifact like the Holy Sword, the so-called python Nagini must be a difficult opponent.
This couldn't be better! He can't wait now!
"I understand, protect the guy named Arthur like me, right? Leave this task to me!"
"No!" Mike categorically denied Arthur, and then said in a cold tone, "Your first task is to use the holy sword to get rid of the python. As for Arthur Weasley, if the situation allows, you He can be saved. But if the situation is critical..."
Mike didn't continue, but Arthur understood what Mike meant.
The fire in his heart quickly cooled down as if a bucket of ice water had been poured on it, and at the same time, the excitement on his face became extremely dignified and serious.
He is hesitating!
Mike knew this.
But Mike had no intention of advising Arthur to take over the task. He just looked at him quietly, waiting for him to make his final choice.
After a while, Arthur let out a heavy breath, took the envelope on the table into his arms, put away the holy sword, and left without looking back.
And it wasn't until he walked out of the study that Mike heard Arthur's iconic firm voice:
"I know, leave it to me!"
Hearing this, the corners of Mike's mouth couldn't help but rise.
…
With Dumbledore's return, Hogwarts has regained its vitality.
There are more and more societies reopening after Dumbledore's review, and the privileges of Slytherins have been extremely compressed.
This made the students busy again. A large number of students whose confinement punishment was lifted were laughing and playing wantonly, and many even deliberately provoked the Slytherins.
The Slytherins who lost their privileges could only grit their teeth, but they were powerless.
This made the students who had been targeted by Slytherin even happier. Although Umbridge's class was still so boring, at this time when the Christmas vacation was coming, the entire Hogwarts was still full of joy. Laughter.
On the other side, Mike's troops have now recovered.
But now the class time has changed from three periods per week to one period per week. Mike is very speechless about this, because the reason given by everyone is that they now have to squeeze in more time to participate in club activities. and exam preparation.
In the Room of Requirement, Mike was still playing with Hermione's fake gold coins, but the look on his face was very heavy.
"Mike, don't be unhappy." Ron patted Mike on the shoulder, "No one is in the mood to study now. Since Christmas is coming, just let everyone have fun for a while."
"That's right, when Christmas is over, I promise to let everyone start classes again immediately!"
Harry said as he slapped his chest, a happy smile on his face.
Now Harry has recovered from the loss he felt a few days ago, and his face looks much better.
What made Harry come out was not anyone's comfort, but that he suddenly discovered that he didn't have to participate in Quidditch training, he didn't have to be in solitary confinement, and his life of eating, sleeping and eating every day turned out to be so comfortable!
After living like a salted fish for the past few days, he even thought that he was starting to gain weight!
Mike shook his head and said nothing.
Ron and Harry actually misunderstood. What he was thinking about just now was not about the army, but about Arthur.
So many days had passed, and there was not even a single message from Arthur, which made him feel a little more impatient.
Harry on the other side saw that Mike's expression was still not very good, so he had an idea and said:
"By the way, Mike. Have you ever seen a giant?"
"Of course, isn't it Hagrid?" Mike said, "By the way, speaking of Hagrid, I heard that he has come back. Do you know where he was during that time?"
Harry and Ron looked at each other, and finally Harry said:
"This is exactly what I want to tell you. Hagrid went back to his hometown and brought back a brother, a half-brother."
A confused look appeared on Mike's face, and his impression of this plot was already very vague.
"Let's take you to see it!"
Harry and Ron laughed, and as they talked, they grabbed Mike and walked out, almost trying to drag Mike away.
In desperation, Mike could only reluctantly walk out of the Requirement Room.
Half an hour later, in the forbidden forest.
Mike looked at the tall Hagrid and the giant who was much taller than Hagrid with a look of surprise on his face.
Harry introduced with a proud look on his face:
"Look, this is the giant I told you about, Grawp, Hagrid's brother."
As if because he heard his name, the giant next to Hagrid raised his head and looked at Harry suspiciously.
He was nearly five meters tall, and he wore nothing but a dirty covering made of a large piece of linen.
And perhaps due to living in the jungle for a long time, his body was extremely dirty, and he also exuded a stinging stench that made people afraid to approach him.
During the observation process, Mike also discovered that a thick chain was tied to his leg, and the other end of the chain was tied to a towering tree to ensure that he could not break free.
'It looks like Hagrid doesn't want his brother running around. ’
With this in mind, Mike turned his attention to Hagrid, who was feeding his brother.
"Harry and Ron, why are you here? Oh! And Mike!" Hagrid handed the last piece of cooked meat to Grawp, turned around and said, "Come on, Mike. I want to introduce you to Look, this is my younger brother, named Graup!"
"I can see that you look alike." Mike nodded, "But compared to the giant in my impression, isn't he a bit too short?"
Hearing that Mike used him to describe Grawp instead of the 'it' that some other wizards often used to describe giants, Hagrid had a smile on his face, but after hearing Mike's next words, Hagrid suddenly lost it. stand up.
"Yes, the average giant is more than twenty feet tall (about 6 meters). Graup is only sixteen feet tall (about 8 meters). It is also for this reason that Graup was often bullied by his peers when he was in France. . But not now, because I have brought him to Hogwarts." Hagrid noticed that everyone's eyes fell on the chain tied to Graup's leg, and his expression became a little embarrassed, "Then So I locked him up because I was afraid that he would run around. As you all know, there is a nuisance in Hogwarts now. If she finds out that I brought Grawp back, she will definitely kick us all out."
Hearing this, Mike and others all agreed, because this is indeed something Umbridge can do.
Seeing this, Hagrid was extremely happy. He took out a large package from a bamboo basket he carried with him, placed it on the ground and unwrapped it.
Mike and others stepped forward to look at it curiously, but they were disappointed by what was inside.
Because inside there was a pile of steaming pure meat sandwiches.
"Come on, come and try it." Hagrid excitedly pushed the bamboo basket towards everyone, "This is the ferret sandwich I carefully prepared, my favorite!"
Harry and Ron ran away as soon as they saw Hagrid taking out the food. Mike, who was left alone, shook his head at Hagrid in embarrassment and said:
"Well, I'd better forget it. You have to know that if you eat wild animals indiscriminately, you may be infected with unknown viruses."
Hagrid wanted to explain something, but Mike had no intention of continuing to listen to him. With a wave of the wand, his whole body immediately turned into an afterimage and disappeared into the Forbidden Forest...
