HP Shavings Wizard

Chapter 365 Giant Clan

Alison didn't stop after all.

Her father ran away with Hagrid at such a critical moment.

Well, he and a half-giant, his old student, went on a spontaneous romantic trip for two to France, the kind that took them to remote corners and deep mountains and forests.

Grindelwald's face was dark.

But there was nothing Hogwarts could do without him now.

He, or Dumbledore, must at least leave one behind to take over and arrange the mobilization of forces between the Saints and the Order of the Phoenix, in order to monitor the movements of the goblins and prepare to deal with possible goblin rebellions at any time.

Professor McGonagall can't handle this, the best she can do is help with school affairs.

Alison was the backup plan.

When Grindelwald was in charge of Hogwarts, Alison was the top fighter who could provide support at any time and be sent to various places through portals to eliminate the goblin rebellion as quickly as possible.

The person in charge of Hogwarts must not be moved easily, otherwise the school will be leaderless, and it will be troublesome if someone gets the chance to cause trouble - although the possibility is extremely low, and there are several other magic schools that can help flexibly.

Many things have been arranged and prepared perfectly. In addition to the surveillance intelligence of the wizarding forces, there are two prophets who are always paying attention to the matter, which often triggers foreseen future judgments.

...How can we lose this?

The perspective hook is turned on.

Hagrid, the man who broke up an elderly couple, was not aware of the resentment towards the wife of the resentful man...

Emmm...

Let us wish him good luck when he returns.

Dumbledore returned quickly as well.

After all, Hogwarts can now go directly to Paris, with Apparition and Fawkes to help with teleportation, and there is no surveillance from the Ministry of Magic like in the original book.

The old headmaster was not as docile as in the original book. He even asked Hagrid to bring the "Eternal Flame", the goblin's helmet, and the dragon skin as gifts. He also asked Hagrid to take his time day by day and be careful not to be beheaded by the giant...

After learning that the goblins had invested a lot of money and used various goblin creations to persuade the new giant leader - of course, this was not because the goblins were generous, but because the goblins had already treated the giants as cannon fodder, waiting only for them to die so that they could reclaim their gifts and gain their combat power for free - Dumbledore directly demonstrated his power.

Hot flames suddenly shot out from the tip of his wand, surrounding all the giants.

The entire giant tribe was enveloped by his flames and burning, as if it were a sea of ​​fire.

The brutal giant leader still wanted to try to grab the old wizard and the half-blood giant by their ankles and hang them upside down, but as soon as they got close to the flames, his skin, as hard and thick as rhinoceros skin, was burned red and cracked. He howled in pain and obediently retreated back into the fire circle. His fierce and gloomy eyes suddenly became much clearer.

The giant's magic resistance is indeed strong, but it also depends on who he is facing.

Ordinary wizards might be helpless if they encounter them accidentally, but with a little training, Aurors can kill giants.

Perhaps there was no need for Aurors. The best graduates - those like Fleur, whose spells could penetrate dragon skin - could deal with giants.

What’s more, he is a top wizard as powerful as Dumbledore.

Now even the Ministry of Magic has given him a lot of convenience, with no constraints at all.

Dumbledore's bright and sharp eyes were fixed on Tall Golgotha, the new Golgotha ​​of the giant clan, the tallest giant who had chopped off the head of the previous Golgotha.

Black hair, big black teeth...

Of course, this is not the point.

The focus is on the bone necklace around the giant leader's neck.

Some are animal, some are human.

The empty eye sockets in the skull looked into the void.

Dumbledore had seen too many skulls lately. He had seen them before, but not as often as recently.

But it's been better recently.

In the past, it represented death. Now, it could be Alison's prank, the skull gems used for inlay in the game world, or the skeleton ghosts summoned by children using the corpses of monsters...

But he really didn't want to see human skeletons on these giants.

There were also scattered bones on the ground, I don't know if they were animal or human bones.

They killed people, a lot of them.

The bone necklace around Gao Gaoma's neck is made of complete skulls collected as decoration, including at least five human skulls, as well as many skulls of other creatures such as deer and wolves.

Dumbledore's eyes were so sharp that Gao Gaoma instinctively felt an unprecedented sense of danger, as if he would turn into a pile of burning ashes in the next moment.

Gao Gaoma's skin had been burned by the terrible fire just now, and now he felt the danger and suddenly became panicked.

He hurriedly shouted at Dumbledore in the fire circle, mumbling something.

Dumbledore didn't understand Giant's language, but from his expression, he could guess that Tall Horse must be begging for mercy.

The giant really doesn't have the brains to act or lie.

He ignored the pleas for mercy, nor did he pay attention to the shorter giant next to him stumbling over the words he translated. He moved the old wand in his hand, and the necklace on the tall horse's neck automatically flew out and flew into Dumbledore's arms.

The necklace was heavy, so heavy that it was almost impossible to hold it with both hands.

Behind every skull is a life.

Dumbledore held the necklace in his hands, looking at it carefully, as if he wanted to engrave its appearance deeply in his mind. His eyes gradually turned cold, and a cold anger rose in them.

And Hagrid...

Hagrid remained silent.

Dumbledore rarely gets angry, but when he does, his anger is quite powerful, and it's the kind of anger that is extremely calm.

However, none of this has anything to do with the carefree Hagrid, who is busy looking after his trapped brother Grawp.

Dumbledore remained silent.

It’s hard to imagine what the old principal was thinking when he actually saw these skulls.

Of course, he was aware of the character of the giants, and he also knew that he would see something barbaric, backward, and cruel...

But seeing it with my own eyes, I still find it hard to accept. I feel angry, disgusted, and a little sad.

He thought of Alison's racism, the plan to take advantage of the giants' rebellion with the goblins to massacre the giants...

At this moment, Dumbledore even felt that Alison's plan was not incomprehensible.

These weren't even wizards with old grudges or hatred against the giants, but innocent Muggles who had accidentally wandered in here.

Without magic power, after seeing things that have never existed in my cognition, I am powerless to resist and can only be torn apart alive in fear...

Dumbledore knew he shouldn't think like that, but he couldn't help it.

[You protect this brutal race and allow them to survive. If they kill people in the future, who will pay for the bloodshed? ]

Alison's words kept echoing in his mind.

Intellectually speaking, this is moral kidnapping.

But looking at those human skeletons, it is hard to say that there is no reason to assume that a crime should be committed.

There is no doubt that these giants are brutal and will kill for no reason.

Moreover, they themselves cannot control the aggressiveness and brutality in the giants' nature, and even without outsiders, they often fight each other half to death and kill each other.

The discrimination against giants by wizards has never been just because of their stupidity and size, but most importantly because of their aggressiveness and brutal nature.

Something Dumbledore couldn't argue with.

There is just a deep feeling of powerlessness.

Seeing that begging for mercy was of no avail, Tall Horse turned angrily and yelled at the other giants, urging them to stand up and rush forward to attack Dumbledore.

The other giants were already afraid of Dumbledore, and now that they were all trapped in flames, they could feel the flames burning their skin if they moved the slightest, so they dared not act rashly.

Only some simple-minded giants, after being burned, would follow the tall horse and roar for no apparent reason, creating an atmosphere and trying to scare Dumbledore.

Unfortunately, their cries had no deterrent effect on Dumbledore.

Dumbledore was just wondering what to do with these giants.

Cold treatment? After the warning and deterrence, if we leave it alone, the brainless giants will most likely be lured away by the goblins.

He originally wanted to use force to intimidate the giants - because wizards could not produce more magic tools than the goblins, the craftsmen who made them, especially since the goblins were willing to spend a lot of money to tempt them - but now it seems that the giants who are accustomed to violence will only be afraid for a moment at most.

They can't even learn their lesson from killing each other, so how can we expect this kind of magic to deter them from surrendering?

As for killing the old leader and replacing him with a peaceful, or even lazier new leader?

The leader of the giant tribe is determined by fighting. Normally, it must be the other seven-meter-tall giants who continue to kill each other. Even if a giant is forcibly determined, he will be beheaded by other giants who refuse to obey.

Moreover, if a wizard with old grudges tries to manipulate the leader of the giant tribe, the giants' hatred will deepen - in fact, it is almost the same now. In addition to fear, the giants' resentment towards wizards is definitely stronger.

Old grudges, plus the new grudges now, are always tit-for-tat, layer upon layer, like an unsolvable deadlock.

The perfect solution given by Alison is to take advantage of the opportunity to massacre.

Although letting the giant die is radical and extreme, we have to admit that this is the most effective and the most worry-free and labor-saving way.

She was right. If these giants were left alone, they would kill people in the future.

But how to discipline?

The wizarding world is very busy, busy with contact, integration, and development with the Muggle world... There are not so many people willing to give up the interests of the entire race and patiently teach the giants.

And even if they were taught and worked hard, it would be impossible for giants to integrate into the wizarding world. Hagrid, a half-giant, lived for more than sixty years, but he could not be said to have truly integrated into the wizarding world...

When I think about it this way, something seems to be wrong.

Dumbledore closed his eyes and sighed deeply, feeling exhausted.

He really didn't know what to do.

The giants lived in groups, and they probably ate humans...

"..."

After a moment's silence, Dumbledore gave up.

Strictly speaking, the only intelligent life he had killed with magic in his life was Ariana.

He couldn't be so cruel now and watch so many lives disappear before his eyes.

The only thing they could do was to keep them, let them rebel under the temptation of the goblins, and finally be wiped out, just like Alison planned...

If he had seen it with his own eyes, Dumbledore would never have approved of this approach.

Alison's current views and behavior are too similar to Gail's behavior back then...

No, it should be said that the father and daughter were originally the same kind of people.

Even though Alison was closer to him in real life, she always felt like she was competing with Grindelwald for his attention. But in big things, the Grindelwald father and daughter had similar ways of thinking and could easily understand each other's existence.

but……

Looking at the bone necklace in his hand and the animal and human bones that could be seen in some places on the ground, Dumbledore felt it was a bit ironic.
