Ravenclaw's Blue Gem

"I know something about giants. Look at the attitude that Gu Ge looks at them. It is very relaxed. At least it means that they are not the first day they have contact with Gu Ge, but we don't know where they are going..." Mike Neil pointed to the two wizards. They put down the things in their hands. The giants on both sides were not disturbed at all. They just walked out of the two giants at Gu Ge's greetings, first bending down, and bringing their heads close to Gu every moment. Ge.

"It looks like they have a good conversation," McNeill said. "Giants are stupid, really stupid, but they know how to prioritize the advice of their favorite wizards, and then kill those who dare to provoke."

"So we have no chance? Damn it!" Avery said painfully."If this thing is screwed up, we will both be killed!" He was telling the truth, and McNeill panicked.

You must know that the Dark Lord does not care about the reason for their failure. He does not pay attention to the process, but absolutely pays attention to the result. Even if it is a subordinate, as long as he provokes the Dark Lord to get angry, his anger is not something ordinary people can bear. Thing.

"Why not let the more capable Lucius or Severus come here! They hide in the warm house and have fun, but they want us to die?" Avery's face left a few nails scraped out trace.

McNeill roared: "Shut up, Avery. If you dare to complain more, I'll let you taste my fist!" He bit his nails, his eyes kept patrolling among the giants, trying to find Make a clear road.He focused first on the giants on either side, then looked at Dumbledore’s messenger, and finally when he looked at their Gu Ge, a strange but possible idea suddenly came out of his mind. Came out.

"Wait, Avery." he cried out. "We might have a chance."

"What? You just said that even if we give gifts, he will not favor us." Avery looked at him confused."Yeah, that's because Gu Ge already has a preferred team... Have you noticed this Gu Ge's state? It is not sitting but lying halfway, and it has those bloated muscles and dry hair. ...This is no longer its prime of life, it is not its strongest and most powerful time."

"Does this make any sense? Do we have to wait for it to die naturally? After we both become corpses?"

"Of course we have to wait for it to die, but we won't breathe peacefully." McNeill said happily, seeing that such bloody and uncomfortable topics can make him happy. "If you haven't seen it, you won't You will really know how aggressive the giants are. The only requirement for Gu Ge to ensure his status is the absolute control of every giant under his opponent. You must be stronger than all giants to command them. This Gu Ge can't do it anymore. At this point, it will have one or even many competitors, and they will tear the predecessor Gu Ge to pieces, and then sit in this position by themselves."

"We have to find the giants who want to seize power, test or lure their killing hearts, and let them start war as soon as possible-don't worry, it is very easy to find, you only need to find the strongest, most influential, The most unruly ones, they usually have several groups together, or several caves connected together, and those are the followers of the leader."

"Don't be discovered by Dumbledore's messenger, we will have ample chance to kill them, but not now."

********

After speaking with this giant named Kakus, Gu Ge, Hagrid was pleased to notice that it had been shaken, and he was probably thinking about the possibility of an alliance with Dumbledore.This makes Hagrid feel very happy and very proud.They just mentioned Dumbledore’s name, and the attitudes of those giants changed, because many of them had heard of Dumbledore’s deeds-not the ones he gained popularity in the wizarding society. It was because Dumbledore had unequivocally opposed the Ministry of Magic's resolution to initiate an extermination operation against the giant.

In that war that brought countless lives back to the earth, any existence that caused destruction and sorrow was regarded as a thorn in the eye after the war. Except for those overreaction resolutions, even a part of the rational surviving people at the time could not be cut off from extinction. Such an attractive proposal by Giant.

The feeling of killing giants and human beings is different. Compared with the guilt that may be caused by killing the latter, any wizard who knows a little about giants understands that they are indeed a kind of quite destructive and dangerous. Sexual race, let alone the war has just left, the hatred and killing intent is full of hearts, it is urgent to wash away with the death of the defeated.

At that time, the Ministry of Magic drafted a resolution to discuss the extermination of the last giants in Britain.This has never been a new topic. Giants had fought a protracted war with wizards a long time ago. In the end, many giants were killed and driven away, leaving only a few still alive in the mountains of Britain.

But Dumbledore stepped forward. He hoped that people would consider coexistence rather than extinction, because this is an extremely ugly atrocities. The murderer certainly has the responsibility to pay for the crime, but even if it is a giant, it is wrong to involve the innocent.Not all giants had joined Voldemort's team (and most of them were killed by the Aurors), and the simple and rude way of wizards had nothing to do with justice.

In the end, the giant was driven to other places. Dumbledore’s efforts were finally rewarded. Kakus and many giants were very fond of him, and even interested in Hagrid’s proposal. Kakus made them understand The English giant told Hagrid that Dumbledore was a reputable and benevolent wizard. He would carefully consider the advantages of ally with such a person, at least not to worry about being betrayed suddenly, but Karkus did not immediately draw a conclusion.

After the conversation, both of them were very happy. The Giant had obviously not yet come into contact with the Death Eaters, and the conversation with Karkus went smoothly. It looks like they will be able to leave here and go home in a few days at most. road.

"What's the matter with you, Ruber?" Mrs. Maxim asked. Hagrid looked absent-minded. He kept looking at the giants around him as if looking for something.Hagrid didn't answer her right away, his lips were humming, as if he was afraid and expecting.Finally he plucked up the courage and found a giant who was in charge of translating in the previous conversation.

"Here you...is there a giantess...Fried Waffa, I, I want to find Fried Waffa." Hagrid squeezed the hem of the leather jacket, and Mrs. Maxim was stunned, then half She looked at him worriedly and half comfortably.

To his disappointment, the giant shook his head without even thinking about it, and uttered a monotonous word from his mouth: "Dead." Not only was Hagrid relieved, but also in pain, he lowered his head."Dead...dead? Well, it turned out to be like this..." He understood that these giants would not want to build a tomb for Fried Wafa, and they did not have this custom.

But the giant pointed to the place not far away, where four or five giants gathered. They seemed to be kicking and hitting some toys.

Happy: "Glope, kid, Friedwafa."

Chapter 43 Glop (Part 2)

"Child, child?" Hagrid was stunned. "You, you mean Friedwafa's child is here? In this tribe?" The giant nodded, confirming his opinion, but the giant's The expression is not friendly, but contemptuous and cold.Hagrid discovered that this attitude was not aimed at himself, but when it mentioned the child (of course he must be a giant), it naturally gave birth to a contempt for the weak.

Giants respect the strong, and power is everything.The powerful male giant can win the best food and combine with the strongest female giant, while the strongest female giant can be favored by the most suitors and enjoy considerable privileges.Since they admire power so much and make a living from it, it is not surprising what attitudes they would have towards those "defective" or "weak" giants.

Hagrid originally thought that the kid—it was said to be called Glop—was among the giants, but those giants were very ordinary, and their size was no different from other giants, and it shouldn’t be A gesture of contempt by his companions.He looked more closely, and finally saw what was happening over there, Hagrid screamed and rushed in the direction of the giants.

Mrs. Maxim was worried that he would cause trouble in anxiousness (to be honest, this situation is easy for Hagrid, who is very emotional), and chased after it.She saw Hagrid stop near the giants, and his eyes were about to pop out of his eye sockets. He stared at them so hard that he seemed to faint in discomfort.

The giant stomped on the ground and raised up the dust that could not dissipate for a long time. They laughed and looked completely happy in it. Every time the big dirty thing under their feet was kicked, it trembled. Trying to shrink itself even smaller, although it is smaller than these giants, but it is as high as fifteen or six feet, it is not to be outdone, and wants to grab the ankles of those bad things and fight back, but those giants can always He laughed and beat it with more terrifying means.

The one who was beaten up was also a giant. Its screams kept switching between howls and roars. Blood was spilled from all over its body. Hagrid trembled. Occasionally the giant was kicked and turned over, revealing the swelling. , Blue, and bloody face, Hagrid couldn't even look at it more. The giant was grabbed by the guys on all fours and lifted up. They exchanged their eyes and began to sway it--

"No-no!" Hagrid didn't care about anything. He felt that his blood was frozen in an instant, and the bone-chilling chill was about to seep into the spinal cord. He wanted to draw out his wand and take the rest The giant released his hand, but he had no time to implement anything. Mrs. Maxim leaped forward and caught him tightly. She was even dragged forward, but she must prevent him from rushing out like a chariot out of control. .

"Rubber! Ruber! Stop, you will mess up our good situation!" She gritted her teeth and shouted in Hagrid's ear, "Think about Dumbledore, think about your responsibilities, and don't care about what you are now Things that shouldn’t be done, don’t watch, wait for them to stop, don’t interfere... even if, even..." She didn’t finish the last words, because it was a cruel multiple choice question for Hagrid. , And he is destined to have only one choice.

The giants paused for a while, then turned to look at Hagrid and Mrs. Maxim who were rioting. Madam Maxim must use her best to press Hagrid’s head down so that the giant would not notice Hagrid’s anger. To the extreme, once he clashed with the giant here, everything was over.

The giants soon began to play with their "fun" again, until the guy's shout was so weak that he couldn't hear him clearly, and he didn't have much strength to resist. They also enjoyed themselves, abandoning their unconscious toys and shaking them. Left here.

Madam Maxim released his hand, but Hagrid didn't immediately raise his head. He trembled, and then began to whimper. When he raised his head, his face was already covered with tears.Madam Maxim released him and watched him staggering to the giant, regardless of whether his clothes were stained with blood and dust on the ground.

"Rubo..." She walked over with a complicated expression.

"Yes, yes, Olim... he must be Friedwafa's child, look at their hair, the color is exactly the same..." Hagrid choked, making a loud inhalation sound in his nose (with Snot, snoring and snoring), he looked at the giant lying on the ground lovingly, but did not dare to touch it with his own hands, because it was all wounded, "Glop...Little Glop, my brother."

Glop was paralyzed on the ground, breathing very lightly, which showed that it was seriously injured."They're not beating it for the first time." Hagrid covered his face in pain. Even though Glop is now covered with blood, dirt, and wounds, he still can't cover up all the old wounds, those twisted, scabs scars. When Hagrid saw it, he felt even more painful.

"These terrible treatments, just, just because it is a thin giant..." Hagrid finally touched the top of Glop's head, but immediately retracted."Help it stop the blood first, we can't do more." Mrs. Maxim did not have much sympathy for Glop, although she would care about Hagrid's feelings, "This is a matter of their ethnic group after all."

They spent a lot of effort to help Glop stop the bleeding, they can't use magic, it is best not to take out the wand, because this will make the giants nervous and think they will be attacked.But the question they soon faced was how to turn Glop over and deal with injuries elsewhere without letting the wound expand.

They must try to move Glop, and this disturbs him in a coma.Gradually, Glop showed signs of being awake, frowning and moving his fingers."We are going back, Ruber." Madam Maxim wanted to hold Hagrid, because it would be unwise to approach a giant about to wake up. They would not care what you were doing, they would only attack subconsciously.Not to mention that Mrs. Maxim was pretty sure that since Glop had been beaten severely before, she would only be more frightened when she woke up to see the strange Hagrid.

"It's almost, just a little bit." Hagrid stubbornly threw away Mrs. Maxim's hand. He looked at Glop's injury distressedly, but didn't notice that Glop opened his eyes slowly and propped up. Half-length appearance.When he raised his head, he met a swollen face and a fist that was slamming at him at high speed.

"The cave over there, all the elements you said are in line." Avery said in a low voice, and looked at the surroundings of the shadows vigilantly. He used the Illusion Charm to investigate carefully before, not daring to get too close. .He is responsible for one side of the dividing line, and McNeill is responsible for the other side. "That guy is big and young enough. I noticed that they often get together and talk-it sounds like a gurgling sound to me. Talking words."

"Are they very vigilant? They will pay attention to the gazes of the giants around them." McNeill got a satisfactory answer, "I'm sure, it must be planning to replace Gu Ge."

"It's very irritable. It has been walking around in the hole, pointing to the painting on its head, as if it is depicting something." Avery thought for a while, "You think it will be because of Dumbledore's messenger. For this reason, has it made it even more impatient?"

"Definitely. They will bring gifts to Gu Ge, those magical items that have a strong attraction to giants, even if they are strange but useless. It has this ambition, but it can only be forced to endure and watch. Gu Ge took away those gifts that should be his own."

"What are we going to do now?" Avery asked."We have to get in touch with this new Gugo, which will greatly deepen its desire and leave a good impression. We can see the results within three days at most." McNeill said triumphantly. Take our gift, remember to hold it above your head, and be sure to stare at the leader-doing so will definitely please him, because only Gu Ge can accept this treatment."

"What if that guy fails? If it fails, but is killed by the current Gu Ge..."

"Then we will find the next one. Even if they will be shocked in a short time, their nature will not keep them quiet for long... Of course, if we can't find it, then we will catch Dumbledore's messenger and give it to the Dark Lord. , Maybe this can redeem the merits." McNeill clenched his fists, "Who is going to die for these trash giants!"

Chapter 44: Mistakes (Part 1)

"Chop the stems of the devil's vine, add it to the cauldron and boil the fire for ten minutes. Remember to stir clockwise. When a dark green gas emerges, change the fire to a small fire and add the ground stardust. Grass, three times clockwise and two times counterclockwise. Repeat the whole process four times, and you can see that the liquid turns light purple..."

Sometimes Snape will demonstrate some steps before the students actually operate. The demonstration is only once, and it is usually the part that is easy to make mistakes. He will not give extra explanations. The fast, cold tone echoes in the narrow. In the potions classroom, he slowly walked back and forth near the podium. When he finished explaining this step, the blackboard behind him would show the boiling process, which was also a signal that the students started making their own.

Usually Slytherin and Gryffindor will take potions classes together, which makes every potion class full of strong gunpowder like a duel, but now they must be patient, crane their necks, and carefully The actions of the girl who was demonstrating on the stage were taken into my eyes and in my heart.Hermione noticed that Neville was fidgeting trying to pull his notebook out of his bag, but hesitated and worried that he would miss the precautions Snape had said so quickly.

Snape's indifferent eyes swept across the heads of the stage, staying on someone in Gryffindor long enough, and then moved his gaze lightly when he felt uncomfortable.He turned his back and looked at the clock on the wall, roughly estimated the time it would take to cook, then turned and said: "Finally, add three drops of belladonna juice, and the potion will become—"

Snape closed his mouth tightly, his eyebrows seemed to be squeezed together, his eyes seemed to see Harry striptease in front of him.Ever since he tried to make Zoe his assistant occasionally, the girl has never let him down once, and every time he talks about a step, Zoe’s Crucible can give him a perfect feedback.

But this time he stared at the girl who looked absent-minded with her head down, and at her cauldron full of blue liquid."Siegel, I hope you take your ears well before class, or remember to install your brain before going out. I said that after three times clockwise there are two times counterclockwise. You forgot this step." Nep drew his wand with a finger, and the liquid in the cauldron disappeared.

Anyone can see that Snape is angry now, but Zoe actually ignored him, as if he was talking to her without realizing it, or simply in a daze."Siegel." Snape's voice was raised a few degrees, and the classroom was silent. The students were all curiously watching what happened before them, and only a few of them seemed very worried.
