Chapter - 3 Hagrid the Giant

"Sorry, I'm late." The giant apologized, he bented to walk inside through the door, almost rubbing his head against the ceiling after he stands up.

The giant scratched his hair and smiled embarrassedly: "I should have arrived at nine o'clock, but I encountered a small problem on the way, I apologise for my tardiness."

Roy swallowed and asked, "Are you a professor at Hogwarts?"

There was no impatience in Roy's tone. It seemed like he was not the one who complained about the professor being late.

Roy is not short, at nearly 1.9 meters, but in front of the giant's height of nearly 5 meters, he looks like a Dwarf.

The difference in body size between the two sides is too great. Hence Roy's change in attitude and tone . Roy can only be polite after all , he wouldn't want to be a Dentist without his teeth if the giant became angry.

Hearing Roy's question, the giant hurriedly replied, "My name is Rubeus Hagrid, and I'm the key keeper and hunting ground keeper at Hogwarts.

Professor Snape was assigned to welcome the Mr. Stark , but something happened recently at Hogwarts, which needed his attention.

Professor Robert, who taught Defense Against the Dark Arts, wandered in the Forbidden Forest during the day, and was killed by the Tebo .

The school is short of manpower for the time being, so it was decided that I will be the one to accompany your child for his supply shopping."

They didn't hear what Hagrid said after the death of the professor, the words "The professor is dead", because he wandered in the forest was really not something you would like to hear when enrolling in a school.

Roy took a deep breath, exchanged glances with Lyanna, and said anxiously, "I don't think going to Hogwarts is safe William, why don't we enroll you in some other school. Which will be safer for you."

"That's not the case. With Professor Dumbledore there, Hogwarts is the safest place in the whole magical world."

Hagrid blushed and stammered in defense: "It's just that the position of defense against the dark arts is cursed. Every year, professors who apply for jobs will have some unfortunate accidents."

"Wait did you say, that this kind of thing happens every year at Hogwarts."

Lyanna's voice was a little sharp, and she had doubts about this school's security issue, and blaming it all on a curse.

"It's not like that—" But Hagrid couldn't speak. Because he just realised that what Lyanna said was true.

"Hey, I'm going to write a letter to Sherlock Holmes and ask him to investigate the mystery behind Hogwarts."

Annie, who found the opportunity, shouted excitedly and rushed all the way to her bedroom.

Hagrid kept scratching his head, which was about to become a chicken coop with all the blunder and screw up he did.

He was at a loss.

As it is the teacher's responsibility to administer new students from the muggle family. And Hagrid was not a teacher. He only asked Dumbledore to do this was because,

He wanted to proof to Dumbledore that he is capable and should be allowed to administer Harry the next year by himself.

This was his first Muggle family. And he screwed up everything. Not only was he late, but he also caused misunderstandings and presented a bad picture of Hogwarts in the Muggles.

Hagrid would rather deal with the cute Hungarian Hornets, then to do this again.

Roy and lyanna were arguing with Hagrid like it was some flea market . At this moment, William spoke up.

"Hey, since you are a wizard, can you show us some real magic to make us believe?"

William raised his head, and his beautiful dark green pupils looked at Hagrid.

His words finally saved Hagrid from his embarrassment.

He glanced at the boy gratefully, and said cheerfully, "Ahh you are the student, William right, thank you for taking care of Milia for two days."

"Milia?"

"Well, Milia is the owl." Hagrid explained, "Thank you for the dried fish box you gave him, he likes it very much."

William glanced at Boba, who's snacks were stolen contemplated if he should tell Hagrid about it. But after looking at the cat who was gaining weight he decided ' it probably deserves it.'

"Then you—"

"Just call me Hagrid."

"Hagrid, can you cast some magic for us to see?" William politely asked.

The best way to dispel the doubts of his parents about Hogwarts is to show them or make them experience real magic. With this they will be convinced that it's not a elaborated prank, but the real deal.

"Oh, strictly speaking, I can't use magic, but..." Hagrid smiled slyly, "I'm doing this for work , and Professor Dumbledore will understand the situation."

Saying that, he stretched out his big hand in the furry brown suit, and after fumbling for a while, he took out a broken pink umbrella from it.

Wait...why is it pink?

Unexpectedly, behind Hagrid's tall and rough appearance, there is actually a little girl's love for pink.

Hagrid's big hand held the umbrella, as if holding a toothpick. He excitedly said, " it's time to show some magic..."?



He swung the umbrella in the air with a swish sound, and then pointed directly at the goldfish in the fish tank.

Suddenly there was a violet flash and a sound like a firecracker, and then the goldfish turned into an abomination with half body of fish on the left and half body of human on the right.

Although the monster was only a finger long.

"Oh, that's wrong, it's not horizontal but vertical ." Hagrid muttered softly and waved his umbrella again.

This time, it became a monster with the upper body of fish and the lower body of a human.

William's eyelids twitched. Is he trying to frightened my parents or fantasize them.

Hagrid scratched his beard and his face looked flushed as if he was drunk.

"The mermaid in the black lake looks like this!"

William face palmed at such a bad lie.

Hagrid pulled his beard and defended himself in a low voice, "I'm not really good at Transfiguration magic, this is Professor McGonagall's field, you can't expect my Transfiguration to be as good as hers.

Actually, I'm a master at raising magical creatures! "

William was doubtful of his claims, but Hagrid's half-transformation technique still made Roy and Lyanna completely astonished.

As if they were Christopher colombus who foun India.

If it wasn't for Hagrid's size, Lyanna, as a professor, would probably send Hagrid directly to the Cambridge laboratory for dissection to know how he can be this tall.

And Roy, who has 20 years of medical experience, also wanted to see the giant's teeth, as how different they are from ordinary humans.

In an instant, Hagrid became the most popular person in the Stark family.

Even Annie clinged to Hagrid, pleading to see the transfiguration magic.

Annie vowed to write to Dumbledore at least seven letters a week from now on, asking him if she could be admitted to Hogwarts as well.

As for Sherlock Holmes...let him stay in the Himalayas and with mud.

Hagrid spent a pleasant afternoon tea time at stark's house.

It wasn't until evening that Hagrid took William to Diagon Alley.

Lyanna and Annie were unable to go with them because of Hagrid's size was so huge that he occupied the entire back of the car seat by himself.

Just like that, it barely had some space.

Annie pouted and said in a low voice, "Can't Annie and Boba squeeze in the trunk."

But she was directly rejected by her Roy.

Then the little girl started to demand gifts for not taking her with them, and William agreed, so she stopped crying .

As the cat of the owner, Boba founed a comfortable position, In William's lap, he raised his eyes and glanced at Annie.
