Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 444 438. Too short, only four meters

night, forbidden forest, depth

"Brother D, why did you bring us to the Forbidden Forest?"

Harry and others followed Dudley through a shallow bush and entered a forest full of tall trees. The Forbidden Forest might be a dangerous place to others, but to Dudley it was no different from the back garden.

Well. Literally the back garden.

The magical creatures that he had tamed were placed in the Forbidden Forest. They now occupy the east, west, north and south of the Forbidden Forest. With his order, he can summon an army of magical creatures at any time.

"It's not me who brought you here, it's Hagrid. Hagrid has something to talk to us about."

said Dudley, who was leading the way.

The place where Hagrid met them was not the hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but somewhere deeper in the Forbidden Forest.

"But why do we have to make an appointment at night?"

Ron complained softly, and suddenly there was a "click" sound nearby, which startled him. It turned out that it was Neville who accidentally stepped on the branch.

"Coward." Draco rolled his eyes and mocked.

"Everyone has something they're afraid of."

Ron tried to quibble: "I'm not afraid of heaven or earth, I'm only afraid of ghosts."

After Draco glanced at him sideways, he suddenly opened his eyes wide and pointed at Ron's shoulder and said loudly.

"There's a spider on your shoulder!"

The moment he said it, Draco swore that it was the sharpest scream he had ever heard, and it almost didn't send him away because it was so close.

"Where?! Where?!" Ron only felt that his scalp was in trouble. He kept jumping up and down like a monkey. His screams resounded throughout the Forbidden Forest. He could only hear him crying towards Harry: "Harry , Harry, help me pat it off!"

"."

Harry covered his face and said weakly: "Nothing, Draco is just teasing you."

"You said you're just afraid of ghosts?"

Draco looked at Ron mockingly while picking his ears.

"Spiders are the exception!"

Ron argued loudly.

Wherever there are Ron and Draco, there will be joy. These two are like a pair of happy enemies who like to fight each other whenever they have nothing to do.

Unconsciously, several people arrived at the place agreed with Hagrid.

Hagrid stood directly under a big tree, waving his arms happily after seeing Dudley and the others.

"Here it is."

He seemed to lower his voice, but the actual sound he made was no different from a normal person yelling.

"Hagrid, why do you want to see us so late?"

Harry asked.

"I need your help." His tone sounded anxious. Hagrid walked to the front and waved to several people: "Follow me."

Hagrid led a few people to walk some distance and came to a nettle field. Not far from the nettle field, there was a huge, smooth 'mound' in front of it, which was rising and falling with a rhythm. Volt.

It was obvious that this was not a real mound of dirt, but a giant humanoid creature lying flat on the ground.

"Oh my God, this is a giant, a real giant."

Ron exclaimed in surprise.

"Shh, keep your voice down." Hagrid immediately stopped Ron: "He just fell asleep."

"How did you find him here?"

Harry asked with the same curiosity: "I heard Brother D say that didn't all the giants join the Death Eaters?"

Facing Harry's question, Hagrid was obviously silent. He thought for a while before continuing: "He is my brother."

"Brother? What about you?"

Neville felt a little relieved when he looked at Hagrid's body that was over three meters tall.

No normal person would grow so big.

"He was driven out, by the leader of the giants."

Hagrid took out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped the corners of his eyes, and then began to talk about that experience: "I was there the day before those hateful Death Eaters went to visit the giant, and everything was negotiated. I didn’t expect the giants to suddenly change their minds, as if the Death Eaters had promised them something.”

"If it weren't for my quick reaction, you might not have seen me. Graup was also kicked out at that time."

"Group?"

Draco heard an unfamiliar name in Hagrid's words.

"That's the kid's name."

Hagrid glanced at his sleeping brother fondly, and the latter sneezed, as loudly as thunder.

"Are you implicated?" Harry continued to ask.

Hagrid shook his head: "No, it's because he is too short. Everyone is bullying him and he is kicked out now."

"Size." Draco said as he looked at Grawp's mountain-like body.

"Too short?"

Neville's throat felt a little dry.

Ron: "???"

"Normal giants are about twenty feet (6 meters) tall, and some protruding ones can reach twenty-six feet (8 meters)."

Hermione explained to a few unlearned companions: "Grawp's height is obviously below this. Under normal circumstances, he will be squeezed out by his companions. This is normal."

Hearing this, Hagrid quickly said: "Yes, Grawp is only sixteen feet (4 meters), so he is always bullied."

Even though he was only sixteen feet tall, he was still a giant to an average person.

"So how do you want us to help you?"

Harry didn't even bother to complain and asked directly for the key points.

"Help me take care of him when you have time."

Hagrid said angrily: "Stay with him more, preferably play with him, so that he won't feel bored. As for food, don't worry, he will get it by himself."

Hearing what Hagrid said, Hermione couldn't help but speak again: "As far as I know, the giant is a very violent creature. Are you sure he is not in danger?"

Hagrid quickly waved his hand and explained: "No, how could he be in danger? He is harmless."

However, there is a fundamental difference between the harmlessness in Hagrid's words and the harmlessness understood by ordinary people.

Harry and the others knew this when they were in first grade.

"Hagrid." Dudley, who had been silent for a long time, said, "Can you ask your brother to be your sparring partner for a while?"

"Now that giants have joined the Death Eaters, we will definitely fight giants in the future, so we need to get used to fighting giants in advance."

Hearing what Dudley said, Hagrid looked very happy: "This should be no problem. Someone can play with him. I think Grawp will be very happy."

In a few words, Hagrid sold his brother.

"Then let's start from today."

Seeing that Hagrid agreed, Dudley walked up to the hill-like Grawp: "The first thing is to wake him up."

"Grawp, it's time to wake up."

Hagrid realized what Dudley was going to do and shouted to Dudley quickly: "Dudley, no! Grawp has a bad temper. If he is woken up."
