New Hogwarts Professor

At this time, Xia Ran wanted to say something to stop Hagrid from saying the next words, but after a lot of thoughts went through her mind, she gave up.

This matter ultimately needs to be faced by Hagrid himself if he really falls in love with Ms. Maxim.

What's more, this is the truth. No matter what lies or deceptions there are, it can't change the truth. It just depends on whether you are willing to accept it.

"It's my mother." Hagrid said softly, seeming to miss her. "She is one of the few left in Britain. Of course, I don't remember her very well. She left... yes, I have She left when she was about three years old... To be honest, she really didn't look like a mother. Alas, maternal love is not in their nature, is it? I don't know what happened to her later. As far as I know, it's probably He must be dead..."

Madame Maxime said nothing.

Harry and Ron couldn't help but concentrate and listened. They had never heard Hagrid talk about his own childhood before.

"My dad was devastated when she left. My dad was a little little guy and when I was six years old, if he pissed me off, I would lift him up and put him on top of the wardrobe, which always tickled him. Laughing..." Hagrid's low, nostalgic voice was choked with sobs.

Ms. Maxim was motionless as she listened, her face shrouded in darkness, and she seemed to be gazing at the silver fountain.

"My dad brought me up...but he died, and right after I went to school, I started out on my own. Dumbledore gave me a lot of help. To be honest, he was very important to me. very good……"

Hagrid took out a silk bandana with polka dots and blew his nose loudly.

"That's it, that's all. Now that I've finished talking about my situation, what about you? Where did you get your inheritance?"

Unexpectedly, Ms. Maxim suddenly stood up and said in a cold voice: "It's too cold." In fact, no matter how low the temperature is, it will never be as cold as her voice.

"I want to go in."

"Um, don't leave!" Hagrid said in confusion, "I mean... I've never met anyone else before!"

"Other people? Make it clear that there is Hagrid!" Ms. Maxim said with a cold tone without a hint of warmth.

Harry and Ron's expressions also became more frightened. They opened their mouths and really wanted to tell Hagrid that it was best not to answer.

They stood in the shadows, harboring a faint hope that Hagrid wouldn't say anything stupid, but it was to no avail.

"What's the point of talking about another mixed-blood giant?" Hagrid seemed even more confused.

"You are so brave!" Ms. Maxim was furious and screamed, "I have never been insulted like this in my life! Half-blood giant? Me? I just..."

She racked her brain for the right words.

"I'm just big-boned!" Ms. Maxim's shrill voice cut through the quiet night sky like a ghost's cry.

Xia Ran also saw Fleur and Roger jumping out of the rose bushes on the other side.

Ms. Maxim walked away angrily, angrily pushing away the flowers along the way, causing groups of colorful fairies to fly into the air - basically all of them had little fingers the size of their fingers, in response to Ms. Maxim who had disturbed their sleep. With an angry expression - Hagrid was still sitting on the bench staring at her back.

It was too dark and Xia Ran couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. After a while, he stood up and walked away in long strides.

Hagrid did not return to the castle, but headed in the direction of his hut and towards the dark field outside.

"Hey, let's go." Xia Ran sighed and said, "Hurry up."

The three returned to the auditorium.

Xia Ran separated from Harry and Ron, sat on the seat where she was just now, and continued to eat and drink.

Harry and Ron found a table away from the dance floor and sat down. Their dance partners Parvati and Padma were with a large group of Beauxbatons boys. Hermione was sitting at a table far away. Then danced with Krum again.

Ron didn't look at Hermione at all.

"Xia Ran, why don't you go dance?" Dumbledore asked with a smile, wiping his sweat with a handkerchief. "When you get old, you will be tired after two dances."

He ordered himself a drink.

Xia Ran shook her head and said: "Dancing, what do you mean? Isn't it better to eat?"

"But this is just a ball." Dumbledore said helplessly.

"There's not much difference." Xia Ran smiled and said, but she was still thinking.

Giants are a very ferocious group. Their nature is similar to that of giant monsters. They are born with a tendency to kill humans, goblins, and their own kind.

So people have a very bad impression of giants.

For hundreds of years in Europe, the Ministry of Magic and Aurors of various countries have hunted and killed a large number of giants. In addition, the giants they killed each other are basically on the verge of extinction, and most of them are hiding in the mountains and are afraid to go out. Afraid that a wizard might come to their door and completely wipe out a group.

Xia Ran was % sure that Ms. Maxim was a mixed-race giant.

Big frame? If that kind of body shape is just a big frame, then maybe her race is not human.

However, because of the giant's behavior and the bad impression left in the wizarding world, Ms. Maxim does not want others to say that she is a hybrid giant. This is understandable. After all, not everyone can accept this like Hagrid. .

Dumbledore drank two glasses of wine and danced with Professor McGonagall, while Charlotte had a full stomach and left the auditorium before the last Weird Sisters - a famous band in the wizarding world - played. .

In his opinion, this Christmas ball was no different from a banquet.

To be honest, Xia Ran is more obsessed with the growth of her magic power than attending any banquets or dances.

However, he hasn't found a special magic item containing Force points for a while.

Xia Ran decided to search around the Ministry of Magic next time. As an official organization of the magic world, there is no doubt that there must be many magic items containing Force points in the Ministry of Magic.

This is even better than Hogwarts!

After all, it’s the official Ministry of Magic!

The new year has passed and Hogwarts has quickly resumed regular classes, and the date for the second event of the Triwizard Tournament is getting closer and closer.

Hagrid seems to have emerged from the shadow of the Yule Ball. After all, his identity as a half-giant was already known to everyone by Rita Skeeter - Hagrid had an interview with Rita Skeeter before Christmas. ——He seemed not to be affected in any way, but sometimes behaved a little strangely when he saw Ms. Maxim.

Both of them pretended not to see each other.

"How are you, Xia Ran? You said you needed some small things for combat class, so I brought them to you." Hagrid said loudly on purpose.

Ms. Maxim happened to be walking by, leading a group of her students as if she hadn't heard anything.
