"Of course... welcome..."

Hagrid said with panic and nervousness on his face, cautiously.

"All come in..."

Waiting for everyone to come in, Hagrid closed the door and closed all the curtains.

With the light in the room, Hermione looked at Hagrid in horror.

Hagrid's hair was messy, with blood clots on it. His left eye was swollen into a seam, blue and purple, his face and hands were bruised, and some were still bleeding. He moved very carefully, as if some bones on his body were also broken.

He had obviously just arrived home, with a thick black travel cloak on the back of his chair, and a large backpack that could hold a few children against the wall.

"Your condition doesn't look very good."

George frowned slightly. Seeing Hagrid now, he knew that the affairs of the giant would not go well.

George took out a bottle of red healing potion from his body and handed it to Hagrid, "I think you need to heal your injuries."

Hagrid wiped his clothes several times with his hands, and took the potion carefully, "Thank you, principal."

Hagrid drank the potion in one gulp, and Harry took out his wand again and applied the restored spell to Hagrid.

"Thank you, Harry. I'll go make some tea for you."

Hagrid limped toward the stove and put a copper kettle on the fire.

"Let's talk about it, the giant's affairs, it seems that things should not go well."

George found a stool and sat down quietly.

All three of Harry looked at Hagrid nervously, and Hagrid contacted the giant just after the summer vacation.

No one thought that he had been there for so long. But now it seems that even after spending so much time, it seems that the desired effect has not been achieved.

Hagrid's face was a little pale, and he twisted his hands on his chest, not knowing how to place it.

"Don't be afraid of anything." George said slowly, "Giants can't communicate. This is something that was expected. They have been out of the wizarding world for a long time. Even if they are hired, they may not accept it."

He doesn't care much about hiring giants.

In the wizarding world, giants are classified as beasts rather than intelligent creatures. This is not all the prejudice of wizards.

Giants are ferocious, lack of intelligence, difficult to communicate, and cannibalism is very serious. The image of giants in the wizarding world is no better than giants.

"They really don't communicate well."

Hagrid murmured, "It took us a long time to find them."

"Where did you find them?" Hermione asked breathlessly.

"In the mountains," Hagrid answered vaguely.

"Then why didn't Muggles find them?" Hermione asked curiously.

"No," Hagrid said lowly. "It's just that their cause of death is always said to be a mountaineering accident, right?"

"That's really an unpleasant statement."

George lightly touched the floor with his feet, knowing that humans caught by giants are not just for killing. Giants are also omnivores. Humans are rich in protein, which is a good food for giants.

"Giants are very violent and cruel. They kill their own people, let alone other creatures."

Hagrid walked to the whining kettle. Splash the boiled water into five bucket-shaped cups.

"Ms. Maxim is all right?"

George asked the most important question.

"of course."

Hagrid patted his chest and said, "I promised that I will protect Orim when I die."

"She is really an elegant and decent lady." A gentle expression appeared on Hagrid's face.

"I have been conquered by her. Orim, she is an elegant and sophisticated lady. But she is not afraid of hardship at all. You know, we all go to the mountains, which is not a good place. We climbed the rocks all the way, Sleeping in the cave, Orim has always been with me. But she never complained."

George said in a positive tone, "Mrs. Maxim is a respectable lady."

Hagrid smiled silly, "Not only is she respectable, she is also beautiful."

"What happened later?" Harry asked quickly. "You found the giant?"

"Yes, we found the giant. It took us a month to find the place."

Hagrid shook his head and said, "It's really not easy. After all, there is no connection between giants and wizards. We must go to those possible places in person to check on the spot. And giants don't like wizards, don't like magic, and are away. When the giant is near, none of us can use magic."

"That's really troublesome." George said disapprovingly.

In his opinion, in order to hire a group of useless giants, so much effort is completely unnecessary. This is also because Hagrid's time is not important, so he has leisure time and spends a few months to contact a group of giants.

Hagrid nodded, "It's very troublesome. In addition, Dumbledore warned us that the mysterious man is probably also looking for the giant, and may have sent an emissary He told us to be very careful in that area. , Don’t expose yourself and prevent Death Eaters nearby."

"Then you found the giant." Harry asked curiously, "How tall and big are they?"

Giants have disappeared in the wizarding world, and now people can only see information about giants in books. Harry couldn't help wondering what a real giant was like.

Hagrid recalled, “When they were over the ridge that night, they were just below. We saw a small campfire and a huge shadow, like a mountain moving.”

"They are twenty feet long," Hagrid said with lingering fear. "The bigger one might be twenty-five feet."

"That's really high!"

Harry estimated that a twenty-five-foot giant was two Hagrid's heights. Such a monster will not suffer from the fire dragon.

He continued to ask, "How many people are there?"

"I think there are seventy or eighty," Hagrid recalled.

"Seven or eighty, there are a lot of people." George pondered, "A tribe?"

"No, it's all." Hagrid said sadly. "All the giants, there are only so many left. There used to be many. There were at least a hundred tribes in the world, but they are gradually dying out."

He said sadly, "Of course, the wizards killed some, but most of them killed each other. Now they die faster, they are not suitable for living together like that. Dumbledore said it was our fault, yes The wizard drove them to a far place, they had no choice but to stay together in order to survive."

George said dismissively, "We didn't let the giants kill each other."

He said slowly, "However, the number of people like this is indeed a bit less. It seems that even if it is left alone, the giant will be extinct before long."
