New Professor at Hogwarts

At this time, Xia Ran wanted 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, 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 can't remember her very well. She left... Yes, in my She left when she was about three years old... To be honest, she really didn't look like a mother. Alas, there is no maternal love in their nature, is there? I don't know what happened to her later. As far as I know, she probably has Just die..."

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.

"When she left, Dad was devastated. 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 made him laugh. Laughing..." Hagrid's low, nostalgic voice was choked with sobs.

Ms. Maxim listened, motionless, her face shrouded in the dark night, as if she was staring at the silver fountain.

"Dad brought me up...but, alas, he died, right after I went to school, and since then, I have been on my own. Dumbledore has helped me a lot. To be honest, he has been very important to me. very good……"

Hagrid pulled out a polka dot silk bandana and blew his nose loudly.

"That's it, okay, I'm done with 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."

"Uh, no, don't go!" Hagrid said confused, "I mean, I...I've never met another person before!"

"Other people? Make it clear, Hagrid!" Ms. Maxim said, her tone cold and without any warmth.

Harry and Ron also looked a little more panicked. They opened their mouths and really wanted to tell Hagrid that it was best not to answer.

They stood in the shadows, hoping in vain that Hagrid wouldn't say something stupid.

"Another mixed-blood giant, needless to say?" Hagrid seemed even more confused.

"You are so brave!" Ms. Maxim became furious and screamed, "I have never been insulted like this in my life! A mixed-race 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 - they were basically the size of fingers, and they were angry at Ms. Maxim for disturbing their sleep. But Hagrid was still sitting on the bench, looking at her back.

It was so dark that Xia Ran couldn't see the expression on his face clearly. After a while, he stood up and strode away.

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

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

Ron didn't look at Hermione at all.

"Xia Ran, aren't you going to 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: "What's the point of dancing? Isn't it better to eat?"

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

"There's not much difference." Xia Ran smiled, but she was thinking in her heart.

Giants are a very ferocious group. Their nature is similar to that of giant monsters. They are born to like killing 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, they killed each other, and the giants were basically on the verge of extinction. Most of them were hiding in the mountains and did not dare to go out. Afraid of being visited by a wizard and completely annihilating a tribe.

Ms. Maxim is a mixed-race giant, Xia Ran is 100% sure of this.

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

However, because of the giant's behavior and the bad impression of staying 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 Xia Ran 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 magic power than attending any banquets or dances.

But it's been a while since he found a special magic item containing Force points.

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 passed, and Hogwarts soon resumed regular classes, and the date for the second event of the Triwizard Tournament was getting closer and closer.

Hagrid seemed 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. He only acted slightly strange when he saw Ms. Maxim.

Both of them pretended not to see each other.

"Xia Ran, how are you? 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, and as if she didn't hear anything, she led a group of her students past.
