"Michelle, don't worry." John stepped forward and hugged Michelle and comforted, "Rita Skeeter is just talking nonsense. Everyone in Hogwarts knows that you just danced with Hermione that day.

It was just a dance, and you did not stir up the relationship between me and Harry as the newspapers said."

"That's right! I have a good relationship with John!"

Harry said loudly.

While speaking, he deliberately glanced towards Draco, as if he was demonstrating or provoking.

This made Draco almost fight with him.

"That's not why I'm angry, or in other words, it's not all about that." Michelle choked and turned to the back of the Daily Prophet, "It's Hagrid. Something happened to Hagrid!"

John's eyes fell on the newspaper and he discovered that the article about Rita Skeeter was not the only one published this time.

The second half of this issue of the Daily Prophet also contains another article.

[...Rubeus Hagrid admitted that he was expelled from Hogwarts in his third year and has been serving as the school's gamekeeper ever since, a job that Dumbledore found for him.]

[Last year, Hagrid actually used mystical influence on the principal, won out from many more qualified candidates, and found himself the position of Care of Magical Creatures teacher.]

[Hagrid is a large, fierce-looking man who abuses his newfound power by procuring a series of terrifying animals to scare the students under his charge.]

[For example, in a conversation with a reporter from the Daily Prophet last month, he admitted that he was raising a poisonous horned beast.]

[The poison horned beast is a terrible creature classified as XXXX by the Ministry of Magic. Such dangerous creatures are not suitable to stay in the same area as the little wizards, but Hagrid obviously doesn't care at all. 】

["I just think it's funny." He said, and then changed the subject hastily.]

[As if that were not enough, the Daily Prophet recently discovered evidence that Hagrid is not a pure-blooded wizard like he always pretends to be.]

[We can exclusively reveal that his mother is the giantess Friedvafa, and her current whereabouts are unknown.]

[Giants are cruel and bloodthirsty by nature. They were on the verge of extinction due to cannibalism in the last century. The remaining dozen joined the mysterious man's command. During the white terror period ruled by the mysterious man, they caused several of the cruelest incidents.

Melon massacre eucalyptus.]

[If we analyze the weird behavior in the Care of Magical Creatures class, Fredvarfa's son seems to have inherited his mother's cruel nature.]

…

In the second half of the article, Rita Skeeter also highlighted the close relationship between Hagrid and John and Harry, and suggested that this relationship is likely to lead to the future of John and Harry in the wizarding world.

Xing was accidentally shot to death by Hagrid.

"Ravenclaw has a Care of Magical Creatures class today, but the person teaching them is not Hagrid, but the substitute professor Graplanon." Harry said with a worried look, "We went to ask Professor McGonagall.

She told us that Hagrid’s current condition is very bad, he has been hit so hard that he can’t even go to class.”

"etc!"

Draco suddenly said with a bad smile, "Pote! How come you know so much about Ravenclaw's curriculum? You even know their class schedule! Could it be that you..."

Harry screamed, interrupting Draco.

He rushed over, wanting to punch Draco.

Fortunately Hermione and Ron caught him.

John, on the other hand, was still looking at the newspaper, his brows furrowed, his expression a little confused and surprised.

What surprised him was not Hagrid's identity as a 'half-giant'.

He already knew this.

Any person with sound intelligence and exposure to relevant knowledge would not be able to help but guess in the direction of a giant or a giant monster when they see Hagrid's unreasonably tall and strong body.

What really confused John was that, as far as he knew, shouldn't Rita Skeeter be receiving treatment at St. Mungo's at this time?

And she should have been deprived of the right to visit Hogwarts!

Under such circumstances, how did she take magical photos of the Yule Ball and be so sure that Hagrid was a half-giant?

John put down the newspaper and said:

"Let's go to Hagrid's place first."

Ron grabbed Harry, who was like a furious lion, and said quickly:

"Yes, yes! Go see Hagrid first. Harry, stop arguing with Malfoy. It's not worth it! Let's leave quickly!"

The group followed John and soon arrived at Hagrid's hut.

As soon as they got close, John and others heard a huge howling sound coming from the hut, which was also mixed with one or two nose blowing sounds.

Several people looked at each other, and finally John stepped forward and knocked on the door.

"Hagrid, open the door quickly!"

The door opened soon.

As soon as John saw Hagrid, he was startled.

This little giant who used to be so strong that he could almost withstand poisonous potions, now his face was pale, his eyes were red and swollen, and he looked so weak that he could hardly stand.

"Oh - John, are you here to see me? I'm sorry for making you worry...Ouch~~"

Before Hagrid could say a few words, he started crying again.

As he cried, his body became softer.

John subconsciously went up to help him, but he was almost crushed to death.

Finally, Michelle and others rushed over to help.

It took several people a lot of effort to lift Hagrid to the bed.

Only then did John realize that the humidity in Hagrid's hut was so humid that he couldn't even light the fireplace.

Sometimes John really admired Hagrid's physique.

No matter how hard a normal person cries, the most he can do is wet his pillow.

Hagrid is different.

He can make the whole room cry.

And this is not the first time this has happened.

John remembered that Hagrid had such an experience the last time the Acromantula died in the Forbidden Forest.

Sighing, John, Harry and several other boys began to help remove moisture from Hagrid's hut and lit the fireplace.

After the temperature in the hut came up, Hagrid's mood finally stabilized a lot with the comfort of Michelle and Hermione.

John sat on the edge of the bed and said:

"Tell us, Hagrid, what is going on?"

"Actually, there's nothing to say." Hagrid said in a hoarse voice, "It's just like the newspaper said, I am a hybrid giant, and my mother is the giantess Friedvafa, who left me when she was three years old.

After my mother left, my father was very sad. My father was a short man. When I was six years old, if he annoyed me, I would lift him up and put him on the top of the wardrobe, which always made him laugh.

Laugh...but, dad is dead..."

At this point, Hagrid started to cry again.

John quickly interrupted:

"Hagrid! What I want to know is, have you mentioned this matter to anyone or anywhere recently?"

Hagrid looked a little uncomfortable after being interrupted from crying. He blew his nose again and said:

"On the night of the Yule Ball, Olim and I went outside. We were sitting on a bench and chatting... and I mentioned it.

Because I know, as soon as I see her, I know that she is too...

I asked her if her giant blood came from her father or her mother.

But she is very repulsive to this topic. She said that she has nothing to do with giants, she just... has a big frame..."

"Puff——"

Ron couldn't help laughing.

Under the angry glares of Michelle and Hermione, he immediately covered his mouth.

"...After that night, she stopped paying attention to me." Hagrid cried louder, "I went to the carriage to look for her, but she refused to see me. I must have broken her heart.

...Ouch~~"

John shook his head and said:

"The French wizarding world is quite contradictory. On the one hand, they have seen the tragic situation of the French wizarding world being harmed by Voldemort, and they want to abandon the view of pure-blood supremacy and become more open and tolerant.

On the other hand, the theory of pure blood supremacy has been deeply implanted in the hearts of many people there.

This directly leads to the fact that today's French wizarding world looks open on the surface, but in fact, it is more conservative at its core than the French wizarding world.

In this environment, what do you think will happen if the principal of Beauxbatons is revealed to be a hybrid giant?"

Everyone in the hut looked a little pale.

Everyone knows that Madame Maxime will not end well when the time comes.
