A certain Hogwarts rune professor

Chapter 529
Felix canceled the magic, the air shook again, and Harry felt the world come alive.Although it was very real before, and he couldn't see the 'weakness' that Sirius said at all, but he could really feel the difference between the two.

The rustling sound, the unknown howl in the distance, the whimpering wind, the rustling leaves, the inaudible breathing...

"It's still a lot worse." Felix thought silently.It's enough to deal with some magical animals, but it's not enough to fool wizards, especially keen wizards.But no matter what, he first inherited the memory magic from Ms. Rowena Ravenclaw. After a long evolution, he finally walked out of the path that suits him best.

Hagrid leaned in front of Glop, his size was dwarfed by the real giant - he was about the same height as Glop sitting on the ground, and Glop could only be regarded as a short man among giants, normal Giants are all between twenty and twenty-five feet tall.

"Little Gramp?" said Hagrid.

"Ha~ge~er!" Gropp glared at him with a more friendly tone, at least he didn't shake his fist as soon as he came up.

"I thought he was going to say the word 'hunger,'" said Ron.

Sirius put his hand on his shoulder and shook it vigorously, "Don't spoil the scenery, look, what a touching scene, isn't it?"

Gropp slowly stretched out a big hand—the onlookers were sweating for Hagrid—but the hand stopped before it touched him, and there was a certain worry hidden in Gropp's ugly face. What should I do if I touch this little dwarf again?
Hagrid happily grabbed one of Gropp's fingers, and said dotingly in the tone he used to deal with magical animals: "It's okay, little Gropp, you just need some teaching, you don't even know how much strength you have, yes no?"

Harry suddenly thought of the Dursleys. Could it be that Glop will become a big Dudley in the future?He shuddered suddenly when he thought of the scene where the giant was freed from the ropes and ran in the forbidden forest with his big sled-like feet, followed by Hagrid.

Gropp gave a low growl, then mumbled, "Glop! Hagel!".

Hagrid was overjoyed. He took Gropp's finger, turned around and said to everyone, "Little Gropp, these are my friends. This is Harry, Ron, and Hermione—" He stopped with a look on his face. Looking at Hermione apologetically, "Would you mind if he called you Hermi? Your name is too difficult for him to remember."

"No, not at all," said Hermione sharply.

Sirius sneered, which drew a blank stare, but he soon stopped laughing.

"It's Sirius - oh, er, how about simplifying it to Siri?" said Hagrid, looking at Sirius questioningly, and Sirius agreed with a straight face.So they turned around, and everyone found that they all had new names—except for Harry and Ron, whose names themselves were very simple.

According to Hagrid, Felix became Felix, Hermione became Hermi, and Sirius became Siri.

"Hermy, do you hear me? H-m--" Hagrid said to Gropp syllable-by-syllable, "Also, the two bigger ones are Phil and Siri, you can tell them apart, Yes or no?"

The duo, Fili and Siri, shrugged.Harry and Ron listened to Hagrid repeating the wrong pronunciation over and over again, and they all looked like they wanted to laugh, but they didn't dare to laugh.

It seems that there is no need for his help.Felix thought that Dumbledore was worried that Hagrid would be killed by his violent giant brother, but now at least he had a good start.After a long time, they walked back from the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

"I'm going to move nearby and live with Glop for a while. I have to find him food and talk to him," Hagrid said. "If you want me, you can do it through the owl, and don't come to the Forbidden Forest without permission," he said to Harry, Ron and Hermione.

"Stop, Hagrid," said Felix, looking into the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

Everyone stopped.With the help of the soft white light hanging from overhead, they looked over the branches and bushes, and Sirius sniffed and warned, "Something is coming." Then they heard the sound of snapping branches and strange footsteps.

A great bowstring emerged from the green shadows and pushed aside the leaves that stood in its way. "It's me, Hagrid." said a man with a naked upper body, he was naturally connected to the horse's body from the waist, and finally Firenze's complete body emerged from the shadows, his silver mane bathed in soft white light , hooves rattled.

"Why are you here?" said Hagrid warily.

"I heard movement." Firenze said in a low voice, "What happened, Hagrid?"

"It has nothing to do with you, this is not the territory of the centaurs." Hagrid replied bluntly.

"But I live in the Forbidden Forest." Firenze said, and the next second he turned around suddenly, pointing the bow and arrow in his hand into the deep darkness, "Who's there?" His hoof scratched the ground.

The branches swayed for a while, and a dragon-like face poked its head out from the other side. Its bright white eyes looked at them timidly, as if wondering why everyone got together so late.It stood on the edge of the intersection of black and white, and the leather-like black wings covered by the bushes could be vaguely seen.

"So it's thestrals." Hagrid said with a sigh of relief.

"Oh, how could I have forgotten you," Felix said softly, gazing at the magical creature.

Hermione looked at him suspiciously.

"Fascinating creature, isn't it? Some don't see it, and some...you can see it?" Felix stared at her suddenly.

"Oh, yes," whispered Hermione quickly, "actually—the three of us—" She stopped, but the meaning was obvious.Harry and Ron were staring at the Thestrals equally.

Sirius stared: "Harry, you didn't mention this."

"It's only been two days since school started, and I didn't get a chance to be alone with you." Harry muttered softly.

"I didn't see it before, I mean the first day of school," said Ron, "but I've figured out something in the past two days... it just appeared in front of my eyes." Harry and Hermione spoke to each other behind him. With a glance, they also remembered the scene that happened on the carriage when school started——

On September 9, the carriage creaked and wobbled on the road.

"You can all see it?" In the carriage, Ron almost choked on his saliva, he stared blankly at Harry and Hermione, "You can't be playing me together, are you?"

"The reason why you can't see it can only mean one thing, your barren brain hasn't worked at all during the whole summer vacation." Hermione said sharply to Ron.

"Anything to say?" Harry asked.He knew about Thestrals, but only halfway.

"Seeing death, accepting death, maybe adding some feelings... It's hard to say." Hermione said distractedly.

"What do you think of Crouch's death?" Harry understood what Hermione meant, and he turned to Ron.

"How else to look at it, he deserved what he deserved," said Ron, his eyebrows furrowed suddenly, "you don't feel sorry for him, do you?"

"Of course not," Harry said immediately. "Have you ever worried about your future situation? Have you ever thought that... your family or yourself may be killed in the war?" His voice became more and more Light, this is the question he has been thinking about recently, why did his parents stay and fight the Death Eaters instead of fleeing abroad?
Ron looked anxiously left at Harry and right at Hermione.

"Isn't there Dumbledore and Professor Haip here, they will arrange everything..."

Hermione gave Harry a meaningful look, which Harry knew meant, "Look. He's not thinking about it at all."

……

Sirius patted Harry and Ron on the shoulders, muttering something that no one could hear.

On the other side, Hagrid disarmed. He stepped forward to touch the Thestral's bony body, and finally patted its head: "Let's go, there's nothing exciting to watch. There's nothing to eat, that's my nosebleed. "

The centaur Firenze also backed away and disappeared. Before leaving, he warned Hagrid: "The old men in the tribe are very dissatisfied. If you continue to find those dangerous creatures from all over the world—"

After this episode, Felix, Sirius, Harry, Ron, and Hermione say goodbye to Hagrid in front of Hagrid's cabin and return to the castle.The three of Harry sat in the corner of the living room in a daze for a long time before they could barely digest the fact that Hagrid had hidden a giant in the Forbidden Forest.

"Hagrid won't be able to hide it for long. The centaurs have a strong sense of territory. They will think that Glop has invaded their territory." Hermione said worriedly.

Harry didn't speak.Isn't this an obvious thing to do?He could only hope that things were going well with Hagrid's educational plans, or that Grop's brain wasn't as dull as it looked.

at the same time.

Felix returned to the ancient rune office, looked at the direction of the Forbidden Forest through the window sill, "Death." The voice was inaudible, and he was curious what the world looked like in the eyes of thestrals.

If he's lucky, he'll find out soon enough.

　Inserted a plot where the trio can see the Thestrals, which should have been placed first, but I forgot about it, it may read a bit abruptly.
