Hogwarts: Who uses a crowbar in wizard duels?

Kevin and his companions followed Hagrid into the Forbidden Forest, and deep within it.

This place was already very close to the centaur territory, and apart from Kevin, this was the first time Harry and the others had ventured so deep into the Forbidden Forest.

Where is Hagrid taking us?

Ron struggled to climb over a thick tree root, panting and complaining that the Forbidden Forest was full of towering trees and there wasn't a decent path. It was too tiring to walk.

Harry agreed, and, panting, casually replied, "Who knows? Maybe Hagrid found some magical creature that can't be kept as a pet again?"

It has to be said that Harry's guess was very close.

"Well, we've arrived, children."

At this moment, Hagrid, who was walking at the front, finally stopped and stood in front of a slightly bulging hill, and said to the group.

Harry and the others looked around. There were only trees all around. Why did Hagrid bring them here?

"Glopp, get up! I've brought a friend, Grop."

At that moment, Hagrid gently patted the small hill, and Harry and the others looked closely.

This is no small hill, but a giant curled up on the ground!

They hadn't noticed the giant immediately because his dark vest blended so well with the surrounding environment.

The giant named Grop gradually awoke at Hagrid's call and shakily stood up.

Only then did everyone get a clear look at Gropp.

His enormous size meant that even Hagrid was not as tall as him at the waist. Harry and the others retreated repeatedly, trying to maintain a safe distance.

"Uh, kids, let me introduce you, this is my... oh, hey! Groop!"

Seeing Grop stand up, Hagrid was about to introduce him to the group.

However, before he could finish speaking, Gropp finally came to his senses and saw several unfamiliar little figures at his feet. A playful and curious smile appeared on his face.

Then he took huge strides and walked toward Kevin and the others.

Hagrid quickly stopped him, grabbing the huge rope binding Grop and shouting.

However, even Hagrid's strength paled in comparison to Gropp's, and he couldn't hold him back at all.

"Kevin, Kevin, think of something!" Harry, Ron, and Hermione all hid behind Kevin.

Ron kept shaking Kevin's shoulders and cried out in fear.

As Gloucester strode towards him, Kevin simply waved his wand, and a vibrant sea of ​​colorful flowers suddenly burst forth from the dark woods.

Countless petals danced in the forest, eventually coalescing into a lifelike bird that uttered melodious chirps, circling around Grop.

Gropp, being a child at heart, was immediately drawn to the beautiful, colorful bird and turned to grab it.

Looking at the sea of ​​flowers all around him, and Gropp having a great time playing with the big bird, Hagrid finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Oh Kevin, thank you. It was definitely the right decision to call you here."

"No need for thanks, Uncle Hagrid. But next time you call us, please tell us in advance what you need us for so we can be prepared."

Looking at the terrified Harry and Ron, Kevin shook his head helplessly and smiled.

"Hagrid, what's with this giant? Did you call in reinforcements from the giant tribe?"

Hermione, who was next to Kevin, saw that the situation had temporarily calmed down before asking Hagrid a question.

"Uh, no, his name is Grop, he's actually my half-brother."

Hagrid shook his head, seemingly trying to find the right words. After a long pause, he slowly began to speak.

"younger brother?"

Harry and the others were all taken aback, not expecting Hagrid to have a giant brother.

"Yes, in fact, I only found out that I have a younger brother after I went to the giant tribe."

"Because Grop is a half-giant, and he was born... well, mentally deficient and underdeveloped, he was not well-liked in the giant tribe and was often bullied, so I secretly brought him back."

"I thought that perhaps I could personally educate him and teach him to become a civilized person who can communicate."

Hagrid appeared unusually reserved, like a fat man who had done something wrong, his hands clasped together as he explained everything to them.

"Does Professor Dumbledore know about this?" Harry asked.

"Uh, I didn't tell him..." Hagrid said sheepishly, but then looked at Kevin, as if talking to himself, or perhaps asking, "Maybe he knows?"

He thought Kevin was sent by Dumbledore to help him.

"Gah!!"

Just then, a mournful bird cry rang out. The bird that had been playing with Gropp had been accidentally crushed to death by Gropp with too much force, and it let out a shrill scream.

The mournful bird cry startled Gropp. Looking at the motionless bird in his hand, he panicked and his face was filled with fear.

Kevin was not surprised by this situation. He had created the flower-bird with Transfiguration and made it very fragile so that Gropp could kill it.

"Hey, Grope, you killed it!"

Kevin stood in front of Gropp and shouted very directly.

Gropp seemed to understand the meaning of the word 'death' and became panicked.

However, Kevin waved his wand again, and a flower-bird formed from gathered petals landed on Gropp's shoulder.

When Grop saw the bird he had lost and found, he immediately grabbed at it again, but accidentally squeezed it too hard and killed it once more.

Hearing yet another mournful bird cry, Gropp froze, staring at yet another bird that had died in his hands, and tears bigger than Kevin's head welled up in his eyes.

Hagrid felt incredibly sorry for Kevin seeing this, but he seemed to understand what Kevin meant.

Only by making Gropp realize that he might hurt others can Gropp take the first step towards becoming a civilized person.

Although the method is somewhat cruel, it is indeed a good one; only through loss can one learn to cherish.

Of course, this method is not suitable for everyone; only kind-hearted people can use it.

Kevin believed that Gropp was not a bloodthirsty person.

"Glopp, do you hate those birds?!"

Kevin continued to shout, "Glopp may be mentally challenged, but that doesn't mean he doesn't understand anything. He can learn and grow little by little."

Another large bird made of flower petals appeared, and this time, Glopp didn't immediately reach out to grab it.

Instead, he cautiously reached out, wanting to touch the bird.

The flowers and birds also tugged at Gropp's hand and then jumped onto it.

Gropp finally smiled again as he watched this scene.

Soon a second and a third flew out, and they all landed on Gropp, whom he touched carefully.

Finally, I watched as the birds flew into the sky and disappeared into the horizon.

"Well done, Gropp."

Kevin leaped onto Grop's shoulder, patted his head, and laughed.

Groop didn't object to Kevin appearing on his shoulder; instead, he reached out his hand, seemingly gesturing for Kevin to stand on it like the bird had just done.

But Kevin, not to be outdone, jumped back to the ground himself.

Watching Kevin jump away, Gropp instinctively wanted to grab him, but then he remembered the two birds that had just been crushed, and his hand stopped in mid-air.

Seeing Gropp's reaction, Kevin nodded. Hmm, it seems the first step in teaching Gropp has been completed.

"Uncle Hagrid, the rest is up to you. I believe Grop can adapt to civilized society."

"Of course, thank you Kevin, you've been a great help."

Hagrid hugged Kevin gratefully and said happily.

Afterwards, Kevin and the others said they would visit Gropp when they had time, and then they left the Forbidden Forest together.
