Chapter 496 Hagrid's Family Background, The Giant Conquest Plan!
【Congratulations to the host! 】
[Successfully resolved a Class B unfortunate incident - the non-existent hook and harassing fly!]
[The host used his conceptual perception ability to teleport to Luna and capture the rare and magical insect that already existed in this world - the nymph hook.]
Together with Hagrid and Newt, they created a magical insect that did not exist in this world—the harassing fly—and presented it to Luna.
This made Luna's curiosity and fantasies about these two magical insects a reality.
This unfortunate incident has been resolved perfectly.
[Special offer, fixed reward: 1 B-level fusion opportunity.]
[Bonus Reward: 1 B-rank fusion opportunity.]
[Currently available magical item fusion opportunities: S-rank *1 time, A-rank *10 times, B-rank *8 times, C-rank *3 times.]
Dudley silently accepted the system reward, neither overly happy nor concerned.
The mere opportunity for a B-level integration no longer stirred his emotions.
He turned to look at Luna, who had remained silent throughout, her gaze fixed on the seven original harassing flies with a fleeting look, and said:
"Luna, given your personality, it's probably difficult for you to naturally become irritable."
If you want to contract a harassing fly, you'll need to find other partners to help you. Wait until they generate spiritually charged agitation, causing the first harassing fly to give birth to offspring, then you can ask them to give you one to contract.
“I understand,” Luna replied in a light voice, “but I don’t need to. I don’t like gnats and harassing flies; they’re all unpleasant creatures.”
I just wanted to witness their existence and prove their existence to my friends.
“I overlooked that. What about the nymph hook box I gave you before…” Dudley nodded in understanding, but then a little doubt arose.
"That was a gift from a friend, and I like it very much. It has nothing to do with the nymph hook."
Luna still exudes that hazy, ethereal quality, but the answer she gave was truly heartwarming.
Upon hearing this, Dali smiled genuinely, but didn't say anything more to Luna.
Instead, it opened a portal to the castle library, sending Luna, who had witnessed the birth of the Harassing Fly and was now quite satisfied, back to the castle.
Then, the portal closed, and Dudley looked at Hagrid:
"Now, it's time to help my friend Hagrid with his family troubles."
Upon hearing Dudley mention this, Hagrid, who had been teasing and harassing the horseflies to temporarily forget his troubles, was reminded of his worrying father.
My mood immediately plummeted.
The seven harassing horseflies flying around were delighted, because they could now feed on their annoyance.
At this moment, Hagrid sighed and said, "My father could never forget my giant mother. When I was a child, he was so grieving that he fell ill and died young."
After his resurrection, if it weren't for my sake, feeling sorry for me growing up alone, and feeling that he hadn't fulfilled his responsibilities as a father, he probably wouldn't have even stayed this past year. He would have gone to find the giant tribe and my giant mother long ago.
Now that he feels he has spent a year with me, he has given me my due and is ready to set off.
Actually, I understand that if I stop him, he will eventually suffer the same thing as before, damaging his health due to longing and sadness. But I can go with him!
Searching for the giant tribe requires venturing deep into the wilderness—how dangerous is that? How can I leave him alone?
"So, just like Newt suggested to you before, you should go and explain things to your father, and then go to the giants' village with him."
Dudley comforted him, “Hagrid, you need to be more understanding of your father. After all, you were just a twelve-year-old child when he passed away, and you were a much bigger child than him.”
Even after your resurrection, you are still enormous, only your appearance is more mature. In your father's eyes, it is actually difficult to form the concrete perception that you are already sixty-three years old.
In some ways, he is still a young man, a young man in his twenties or thirties.
In his memory and understanding, the past few decades are missing. Even if everyone tells him that you are a very reliable adult, he will inevitably treat you as a child who needs protection.
Naturally, he doesn't want you to take risks with him.
"Oh! I see!"
Hagrid slapped his forehead and became happy. "Dali, what you said makes a lot of sense. I should be more understanding of my father."
He didn't intentionally abandon me, nor did he distrust me; he wanted to protect me! I'm going to find him right now and explain everything."
Seeing Hagrid, who had gained wisdom but remained simple-minded and easily coaxed, Dudley and Newt couldn't help but smile knowingly.
But Dudley stopped the impatient Hagrid:
"Wait a minute, Hagrid, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Hagrid stopped and turned to Dudley, asking.
"This is not good news. You should be prepared," Dudley said, laying the groundwork for the conversation.
Seeing Hagrid's expression turn serious, he continued:
"Hagrid, your mother, Friedwafa, the former chieftain of the Giants tribe, has passed away."
Hagrid felt regretful and saddened upon hearing this.
But most of his sadness wasn't because he had lost an irresponsible mother, but because he was afraid his father would be heartbroken if he found out about his mother's death.
If his father is sad, he will definitely be sad too.
But Hagrid quickly came up with a solution, and he said to Dudley, somewhat embarrassed, "Well... my mother..."
"Don't worry, Hagrid, I'd be happy to help you resurrect your mother." Dudley agreed to the giantess's resurrection without waiting for Hagrid to ask.
But that's not the key point that Dudley cares about.
Dudley continued to say to Hagrid, "But after your mother is resurrected, she may not necessarily be willing to acknowledge you and your father. The reason she abandoned you was because she disliked that you were...short."
"Yes, I know the habits of giants. They have no concept of family and will abandon children who are not strong or tall."
Let alone a half-giant like me.
Hagrid was mentally prepared for this, but when Dudley mentioned it, he still felt worried about the upcoming journey.
“That’s how it is,” Dudley continued, “Do you remember the joke I made with you in the Gringotts vault? I told you the Brotherhood would have it.”
Hagrid perked up at this: "Dudley, you mean... I really do have brothers?"
"That's right. After your mother returned to the giant tribe, she mated with another giant and gave birth to a little giant named Grop."
Although you are taller than him, your half-brother is considered short among the giants and suffers from their ostracism and bullying.
When your mother was alive, she ignored this. After your mother died, your giant brother's situation became even worse.
As Hagrid listened to Dudley's introduction, he felt a deep sense of sympathy for his giant brother whom he had never met.
"But that doesn't stop your brother from having similar personalities to the other giants. He's just as irritable, easily angered, and destructive. And he has a very low IQ."
Dali added.
But this addition only added to Hagrid's confusion.
He scratched his head, thought for a moment, and said, "Dali, what exactly do you mean? What do you want me to do? Just tell me clearly."
Dudley glanced at Hagrid and slowly said, "Hagrid, you should know that giants and wizards have been enemies for a long time in history. They have fought a war, and the wizards eventually won and drove the giants to the remote wilderness."
You can treat your mother and your brother differently, as family, and cherish them.
But you must always remember your position as a human being.
On this trip to the Giants' Village, I want you to bring back not only your mother and brother, but also all the relatively friendly and neutral individuals among the Giants' Village who are inclined towards humans, and to create a Giants' Village in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts that leans towards human wizards.
And in the name of this tribe of giants, they signed an alliance pact with the Hogwarts superconscious, just like the centaurs and unicorns in the Forbidden Forest.
If the Forbidden Forest is not big enough, more trees can be transplanted, growth spells can be cast, and the space can be expanded.
"This...can I do it?"
Hagrid had no objection to Dudley's insistence on upholding the human side. He had always considered himself a human wizard, and his half-giant bloodline was merely a way to show off his power.
But he lacked confidence in the important tasks assigned by Dudley.
Because this sounds quite difficult.
“You can do it, Hagrid.” Dudley walked up to Hagrid and patted him on the arm. “With your current strength, you could easily take on five or six giants head-on.”
Not to mention, I'll also give you strength..."
As Dudley spoke, the hand that touched Hagrid's arm lit up with a dazzling red light.
An incredibly powerful power-enhancing spell was cast upon Hagrid, permanently increasing his already formidable strength by more than twenty times, and allowing him to control it perfectly.
At the same time, Dudley gave Hagrid the super magic resistance he gained from fusing with the Gryffindor sword, making Hagrid's magic resistance even more outrageous.
In addition, Dudley also placed a controllable conceptual unlocking spell on Hagrid.
"Dali, I..."
"Listen to me, Hagrid," Dudley interrupted Hagrid before he could express his gratitude or sigh, "From now on, you only need to think about growing bigger and say 'open' in your mind, and you will become even taller than a normal giant."
When you want to return to your original size, simply visualize your original form and silently say the word "close".
I have given you both size and strength. Go to the giant tribe and use your knowledge of giants' habits to violently subdue any who resist.
Your mother will also look at you differently because of this.
In addition, you will be bringing back a group of giants, so your mother can balance family and tribe in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts without having to force herself to adapt to human society, which is difficult for her to adapt to.
She will then not resist your return and your father's return.
As for your mother's resurrection and the selection of more friendly and neutral giants, you don't need to worry about either of those.
I will secretly help and guide you; everything will be clear and fall into place naturally.
