Chapter 244: Grawp

In the Forbidden Forest, a tremor would come from time to time.

John and Hagrid walked side by side on the snow-covered path of cedar branches.

"Last year you also knew the fact that I am a half-giant."

"My father was a wizard, and my mother was a giant."

"We don't know the story between them, because my mother abandoned me and left with my father when I was very young."

On the way, Hagrid had to explain some of his secrets or life story to John.

"This time, thanks to Dumbledore's commission, I finally had the opportunity to go to the giant tribe where my mother was."

"Besides completing the task Dumbledore gave me, I also specifically went to ask about my mother's news."

"But it's a pity... she passed away many years ago."

When Hagrid said this, there was not much sorrow or waves, as calm as if he were telling someone else's story.

This was not because he was cold and numb, but because he really didn't have any feelings for his mother, and didn't even know where to start feeling sad.

"However, I unexpectedly learned that after my mother returned to the giant tribe, she gave birth to another child with another giant."

"That is the brother I just mentioned, my half-brother."

"His name is Grawp, this year...... uh, about fifteen or sixteen years old? Let's not be too serious about giant age."

Speaking of Grawp, Hagrid's face actually showed a smile.

Perhaps it was because he had lived for decades and didn't expect that one day he could become an older brother.

"Then why did you bring him back?"

"According to this statement, he should be a pure-blood giant, staying in the giant tribe would be more suitable for him, right?"

John, on the side, asked curiously.

"Hmm... at first I didn't think about bringing him back."

Hagrid didn't deny John's words and continued to explain.

"But until I saw him with my own eyes."

"Grawp, for some reason, is too small compared to other giants, only sixteen feet tall."

Which is about 5 meters.

Normal giant body size is twenty-four feet or even higher, which is seven or eight meters tall.

It was almost a floor shorter.

"Then his mind is also not fully developed, and his father completely ignores him."

"Resulting in him not being welcomed in the giant tribe and often being bullied."

"So when the giant tribe had internal strife and finally turned to the Death Eaters, I tried every possible way to bring him back."

"Then secretly settled him in the Forbidden Forest."

Listening to Hagrid's explanation, John finally understood Hagrid's recent abnormality.

Why he didn't take him to the Forbidden Forest, and why there were always new wounds on his body.

It turned out he had secretly brought a giant back.

"Then why don't you tell the Headmaster, I think the Headmaster shouldn't refuse you raising a giant in the Forbidden Forest?"

John continued to ask.

"Just like I said just now, his mind is not quite sound... plus growing up in a barbaric giant tribe, his behavior is not quite stable and is full of aggression."

"And Dumbledore has enough things to worry about lately, I don't want him to be distracted by my little things."

"So, I want to teach him to be a civilized person who can communicate normally before telling Dumbledore."

Hagrid scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and explained.

John nodded, but couldn't help laughing.

"But Uncle Hagrid, do you think you can hide it from the Headmaster?"

"Uh......"

At this remark, Hagrid was silent again.

With him running to the Forbidden Forest every three days and coming back with injuries all over his body.

Let alone Dumbledore, anyone slightly familiar with Hagrid could discover the abnormality.

The few chatted as they went deep into the Forbidden Forest.

Bang!!

A dull impact sound suddenly came from the front again, shaking the snow on the treetops to fall with a rustle.

John and Hagrid looked at each other and hurriedly accelerated to run forward.

After crossing a huge tree root, John finally saw Hagrid's brother, the giant Grawp.

At this time, Grawp's body was tied with a huge thick hemp rope, and the other end of the rope was tied to a huge spruce tree.

Grawp was holding a stone, smashing it against the tree trunk one by one, muttering "Grawp! Grawp!"

Not at all looking like someone who could communicate.

"Hey! Grawp! I'm here to see you!"

Hagrid waved at Grawp and shouted loudly.

Grawp, hearing Hagrid's voice, immediately stopped his movements and slowly turned around to look at Hagrid.

And John beside Hagrid.

He blinked, his nostrils flared, like a steam boiler that had just started, making a huffing, huffing sound.

Wearing a very tattered blanket, his whole body was dirty like a savage.

"Hagrid..."

Grawp tilted his head and muttered Hagrid's name.

"Eat..."

Then it was another term that startled John.

"No no no! Grawp! He is not for eating!"

Hagrid hurriedly waved his hands and shouted.

Because when he came to see Grawp, he had never brought anyone else, only some cattle and sheep for him to eat.

He probably thought John was the food this time.

"This is a friend! Friend! I've taught you!"

"Friend... delicious..."

"No no no! Friends are not delicious! Pfft, no, it's that you can't eat them!"

Hearing Grawp's outrageous statement, Hagrid shouted anxiously.

Clearly, Grawp had only been brought back by Hagrid for a short time, and the education for Grawp had not yet yielded results.

John curiously leaned over, and Grawp, seeing him approach, reached out to grab him.

John had a flash of inspiration, raised his hand and flicked it upward, and the soil beside him directly bulged into a giant mud hand, steadily supporting the large hand Grawp reached out.

Grawp was stunned, his eyeballs slowly turning, staring down at the giant mud hand, then looking up at John.

He subconsciously retracted his hand and took a step back.

For some reason, this thing made him feel a familiar fear.

Just like the crushing sense of power when he was bullied by other giants when he was a child, making him instinctively tense his muscles, and a low whimper rolled out of his throat.

This reaction startled John; he didn't mean to scare Grawp.

But this was also good, at least it proved that Grawp's perception was far sharper than it appeared.

John again controlled the giant mud hand, waving it gently like a greeting, trying his best to show his goodwill.

Then he didn't know where he took out a bag of candy and poured it all into the palm of the giant mud hand.

Then he controlled the giant hand to slowly rise and come before Grawp's eyes.

"This is delicious! For you!"

John shouted at Grawp.

Grawp stared at the pile of colorful candies, his nostrils flared, and a sweet scent entered his nasal cavity, instantly overcoming the fear of the giant mud hand.

"Eat."

He reached out and grabbed the pile of candies, and the candies that could choke a person if not careful were like white sugar in his hands, casually grabbing a dozen at a time and throwing them into his mouth.

The sweetness instantly exploded on the tip of his tongue, his eyes widened suddenly, and a string of garbled gurgles rolled out of his throat, looking very happy.

Hagrid, seeing this, finally had his nervous expression loosen. ===== CHAPTER 245 =====
