Chapter of the Giants
Chapter of the Giants
When the Death Eaters and the Sicilian giants were in chaos because of Evans actions, he had already set foot on his way back to England.
Because of Grawp, their return was much slower and exceptionally difficult.
Grawps enormous size prevented him from riding in a carriage, using long-distance Apparition, or even using a Portkey. They had to travel on foot.
Although Grawp was relatively short and stunted among giants, he was still much taller than normal humans. He was approximately twice as tall as Hagrid, making it incredibly challenging to conceal a giant.
They dared not get close to towns and moved forward in the wilderness. When they slept at night, they had to use the Muggle-Repelling Charm near the camp. If they were accidentally seen by Muggles, they had to use the Memory Charm to modify their memories.
Everyone had sympathized with Grawp and understood his importance to Hagrid, but soon that compassion disappeared.
The trouble was not the only issue; the giants temperament and habits were incredibly difficult to accept.
Now, no one except Hagrid wanted to approach Grawp and take care of him.
Grawp was reluctant to leave Sicily and constantly caused disruptions, insisting on returning to the land of giants.
Hagrid had to tie himself to Grawp with a rope. The two of them ate, slept, and drove all together.
As a result, Hagrid had been enduring constant beatings, and he was covered in bruises and scars. Grawp punched him from time to time, and this guy didnt do it lightly, he seemed to have no concept of strength or restraint. It was like he had no understanding of his own size.
For Hagrid, who had taken care of countless dangerous magical creatures, taking care of Grawp proved to be an exceptionally challenging task.
Evan and Sirius couldnt stand idly by and used magic to reprimand Grawp a few times. However, as Evan had anticipated, the giant had no long memory and he simply didnt learn his lesson. Their actions only made things worse.
Hagrid consistently defended him, and they couldnt actually harm Grawp with magic.
Throughout the journey, Grawp continuously caused trouble, created disturbances, damaged the environment, and attacked not only the three of them but also other creatures
Soon, even Madame Maxime lost her last bit of patience.
She had a heated argument with Hagrid. They had developed a mutual attraction, and this journey was supposed to deepen their understanding of each other. However, because of Grawp, everything turned sour, and their potential romance might come to an end.
In this manner, when it took them over a month to reach France, nobody objected when Hagrid suggested that Evan, Sirius, and Madame Maxime should leave first. They separated from Hagrid just like that!
Evan looked back anxiously at Hagrid before stepping into the carriage. He was standing in the wilderness waving vigorously at them. His hair was disheveled, his face was scarred and kept bleeding, and behind him, Grawp was running in the opposite direction
Evan doubted whether he could really bring the giant back. It seemed like an impossible task.
When Evan and Sirius returned to England, the school year was nearing its end and the long summer vacation was about to begin.
They used the Floo Network to return directly to Dumbledores office from Madame Maximes fireplace. Although it was already more than ten oclock at night, Dumbledore seemed to expect them, and he was there waiting for them.
Good evening, Evan Sirius, I have received your letters. Youre slower than I expected. It seems that things did not go as smoothly as imagined, said Dumbledore calmly, tapping gently on the table with his wand, and three steaming cups of coffee appeared. Well, I assume you have a lot to tell me.
Next, the two of them detailed what happened during this trip, including the state of the giants territory, the actions of the Death Eaters, the scabbard of Gryffindors Sword, the Cyclops, the Dark wizards from Ravens Claw, as well as the city on the seafloor, the ruins under the whirlpool of Charybdis, the story of the Titan, Cronos, and so on. They provided a thorough description.
Of course, Evan didnt say everything about what the Titan Cronos told him, and he concealed some details.
Those details were too shocking to be fully said. However, what Evan told Dumbledore was beyond imagination. A lot of information was enough to make even Dumbledore express quite surprise, but he soon accepted them!
Youve done well, better than I thought. Even if I was there, it wouldnt have been better, said Dumbledore gently, intertwining his fingers together. We need to take measures to deal with the giants who may join Lord Voldemorts army. Nicolas has also told me about the Dark wizards of Ravens Claw and the ancient relics. We should be prepared
Is there anything we can do, Professor? Evan asked.
Well, Sirius, I hope you can go on another long trip, to Norway this time, and handle some matters for the Order of the Phoenix said Dumbledore, and his blue eyes turned to Evan, As for you, Evan, there is nothing you need to do for the time being. Since the final exams have just ended, you can leave the school early and go home to have some time with your parents. But I still have to ask one more question. Do you have any plans for the holidays?
I thought about going to Egypt. Professor Nicolas Flamel told me that the Emerald Tablet there was very useful for Alchemy, Evan paused before adding, Id like to invite Hermione to go with me. She said she wanted to go on a trip, and theres no danger this time.
Egypt is a fascinating country, where mysterious ancient magic, wizardry and African witchcraft blend perfectly. There are also ancient historical relics beyond imagination. It can be very helpful for you to know about ancient times, said Dumbledore with a smile. As for Miss Granger, I think she will be very pleased with your invitation
Evan understood what Dumbledore meant. He wanted Harry to stay quietly at his aunts house during the summer vacation, without any disturbances.
After Voldemorts return, the current situation in the wizarding world had become increasingly grave.
Although it was relatively calm on the surface, the power struggles had already begun behind the scenes.
Evans battle with the Death Eaters to woo the giants on Sicily Island was just one of them, and many more events were unfolding.
In this case, Harry was really not suitable for wandering around as he had done in the past, especially considering his connection with Voldemort. Dumbledore must have already sensed something
