The Admiral of Hogwarts

#449 - Hagrid Returns

When Hugo and the others walked out of the castle, it had already started snowing. So, treading on the thin layer of snow on the ground, Hugo and his friends arrived at Hagrid's hut and knocked on the door.

As they knocked, dog barks and the sound of claws scratching at the door came from inside, obviously Fang was in there, which proved Hagrid's return.

Soon, the sound of a bolt being pulled came from inside the door, and the door creaked open, revealing Hagrid's head, which looked no different from before, in the gap.

His hair looked messy, with some grass and twigs mixed in, and he was wearing a dusty traveling coat, looking a bit scruffy.

Judging from this, he must have just arrived home. A thick black traveling cloak was draped over the back of a chair, and a large backpack that could fit several children was leaning against the wall. Hagrid, twice the height and three times the width of a normal person, limped towards the fireplace and placed a copper kettle on the fire.

"You look like you're injured," Hugo said, looking at Hagrid's limping leg after he sat down. "Is it because of your brother?"

"How did you—" Hagrid was stunned for a moment when Hugo asked this, then he understood. "Right, you guys should know those Mutual Aid Society members, so it's not surprising you know about this."

"Yes, I also know that Miss Richelieu and the others spent a lot of effort to transport you and your brother here last time, especially since your brother woke up twice on the way. If the team members hadn't reacted in time and knocked him out, the ship might have been sunk," Veneto said with a smile.

"And last time we met Sirius, Sirius also said he would buy your brother a shielding facility. Now it seems you've already got one."

"Yes, thanks to your shielding facility, I feel safe enough to come back to school. Otherwise, I wouldn't feel comfortable leaving Grawp alone there," Hagrid said as he made tea for Hugo and the others.

"Especially since you guys occasionally send people over to help train my brother. Although the training process needs to be kept secret, so I don't know the specifics, I know the training is very effective."

"At least when I left, Grawp wasn't as violent anymore, and he had also learned many daily rules and some English, so I think he will eventually be able to integrate into normal society."

Hearing this, Hugo and his sister exchanged a glance and smiled. Obviously, the ship girls must have used physical education methods to educate Grawp.

Giants have always been a race that hates magic, but they also respect strength, so for ordinary wizards, using magic to attack giants will only make them angry.

But on the other hand, if you use physical means to knock a giant down, then they will offer you enough respect and be willing to do things according to your orders.

This information was obtained when chatting with the ancestral giant White Deer, and was recognized in the subsequent giant recruitment and training work.

Through this method, they have successfully trained six batches of more than fifty giants and more than three hundred trolls. Now, some of these giants and trolls are in the secret base in the Ural Mountains, and some are working well on the moon and Mars.

Although these big guys are indeed a bit slow in the head, they can still play a big role when they obey orders and follow instructions.

For a simple example, they discovered a mine with strong magical radiation on Mars, which produces some special magical raw materials.

According to the ship girls' inspection, this raw material can replace the current controllable nuclear fusion inner shielding layer, which requires a series of precious magical materials and complex processing, and has an important role in promoting current industry.

However, because of the strong magical radiation in this area, only some expensive alchemical tools could enter this area and work normally at first, besides the ship girls.

In an accident, Hood and the others discovered that the giants' unique magical resistance was well suited for working in this kind of place, so now only a few of these giants remain on Earth, and the rest have all been packed off to work in space.

Obviously, because of this precedent, the ship girls have also mastered how to deal with giants. Now it seems that this plan is very effective and universal.

"This is a good thing. If giants can't learn to interact with ordinary humans, then they will always be outsiders rejected by mainstream society," Hugo nodded and said.

"I think your brother should have found a good place, but your mission can be considered a failure, right? At least the giants should have completely sided with the Mysterious Man."

"It seems that you are not ordinary apprentices in the Mutual Aid Society." As a man in his sixties, even if he may be naturally slower to react than ordinary people, Hagrid has learned a lot from so many years of experience.

"That's right, just like I told your companions before, about 1/5 of the giants are pacifists who left the giant community for some reason. As a result, the warmongers among the giants have completely gained the upper hand."

"So we clashed with them on the first day. The giants were obviously persuaded by the Death Eaters' so-called freedom. I think if there are no accidents, they are likely to be deployed on the British battlefield."

"But how to deploy them?" Hugo asked, puzzled. "Giants are so big, and their magic resistance makes it difficult for them to be transported by magic, so how can such big giants be transported to Britain?" Hermione asked, puzzled.

"Of course, in the same way that my brother came to Britain before, by transporting them by water," Hagrid shrugged and said. "Many pure-blood families own ships similar to Durmstrang's last year, so it's not a difficult thing to transport dozens of giants over."

"Water transport—it seems we can give those giants a little surprise." After hearing Hagrid say this, Hugo's mind recalled Veneto's voice.

For the ship girls, the sea is their home field, so after learning that the giants would most likely be transported by water, they immediately decided to collect information and, after determining when the other party would set sail, give them a hard time.

After chatting for a few more words, Hugo and the others returned to the castle, then read books in the library while communicating with each other about the recent situation through the admiral network.

"It seems that the two-hole socket is now strengthening its power as much as possible. You know, with handy equipment, giants can even beat dragons."

"You're right." Hearing Veneto say this, Hugo nodded slightly. "Next, we must intercept those giants who may land by sea as much as possible, and try not to let them land."

"That's right, I remember that those giants caused huge massacres of a large number of ordinary people in the last war, so we must take all possible measures to prevent the tragedy from happening again," Hermione interjected at this time.

"At least we must reduce the casualties of innocent people and not let those ordinary people who were originally unrelated to the war be involved in this war again."
