"Hagrid!" The four of them squeezed through the table. "Why are you here alone?"
"My God, how much did you drink!" Hermione said as she sniffed. The pungent smell of alcohol filled the air.
Elaine covered her nose and looked curiously at the large glass before Hagrid.
Hagrid jumped up and looked down at them like he did not recognize them.
They could clearly see that there were two more wounds and several bruises on his face.
"Oh, it's you guys. Is everything okay?" Hagrid asked.
"We're fine but you don't look so good!"
Harry's failed date, Elwyn's failure to start dating and Elaine's disappointment at the candy shop were nothing compared to the bruised and distressed Hagrid. Compared to Hagrid, they seemed to have nothing to complain about.
"Me?" Hagrid said, "No, Hermione, I'm fine, I'm really fine!"
He stared at the glass the size of a water bucket, sighed and downed the rest of the alcohol in one gulp.
"Hagrid, is it that giant?" Hermione asked in a whisper.
"Did Glop hit you again?" Elwyn looked at the bruises on his face.
"Hit me? No, no, it was just a small scratch. You know, I do rough work! " Hagrid said gloomily, "This is family. No matter what, blood is important. He is my brother, I have the responsibility to take care of him."
"You can't continue like this, you'll be beaten to death by him …"
"I'm fine. I told you, I accidentally touched him." Hagrid said, "Glop is much better than before, really!"
No one believed Hagrid. If he really did improve, he would not be drinking alone here with bruises all over his body.
"Hey, no matter what, he's still my brother …" Hagrid waved his hand, signaling them to stop talking.
Since he had brought him back, Hagrid would not abandon Gloop.
No matter how difficult the decision he made was, he had to stick to it until the end. Needless to say, he was related by blood.
"Hagrid, can I go see the giants?" Elaine asked as she sat down on the chair next to Hagrid. "I heard from Elwyn that he's very interested in giants and wants to take a look. Maybe we can make friends with him."
"What did you say? You want to be friends with Little Glop?" Hagrid seemed to have woken up a little. He stared at Elaine.
He was not familiar with Elaine, nor did he know that she was a vampire. He only knew that she had always been with Elwyn and Hermione, so there was no doubt that she was reliable.
But at this moment, Elaine was undoubtedly the cutest in his eyes.
"Yes!" Elaine nodded. She had no idea if this guy knew what giants meant. She continued. "It's not just me, Hermione also said that she wants to see the giants. We're all very interested in him."
"Yes, I did say that. It's not easy to see giants, isn't it?!" Noticing Hagrid's gaze on her, Hermione quickly said, "What I mean is, we've learned about giants in the textbooks, but we've never seen one in person. We want to see Gloop. Hagrid, if you don't mind …"
"No, not at all. You can go anytime!" Hagrid said in a choked voice. His eyes were filled with tears of gratitude. "Oh, Little Glop is finally going to make friends. You can talk to him. He's very bored there alone. Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and you, Elaine. You're the best people I know. Really, I … "
"Alright, Hagrid!" Elwyn patted his shoulder. "We all want to see Gloop. That's settled. But not now. You know, we have something else to do today. We've asked Sirius and Lupin to meet here."
Elwyn was sure that Hermione was just curious. Of all the people present, only Elaine wanted to make friends with Gloop.
Besides, he suspected that she was just saying it for fun. She would definitely change her mind after seeing Gloop.
At the end of the day, she was just a little girl who had not experienced the world. She was curious about everything. She always thought that the bigger the better.
"Hmm, I understand. I'll go back and tell Little Gloop the good news!" Hagrid said as he rubbed his eyes.
He walked out of the bar clumsily. He looked much better than he did before.
After Hagrid left, Elwyn, Harry, Hermione and Elaine continued their discussion about Hagrid and the giant.
They booked a room and waited for another half an hour before Sirius, Lupin and Rita arrived at the Three Broomsticks Bar.
After returning to work, Rita returned to how she looked like when Elwyn and the rest first met her.
It had to be said that her curiosity was too strong. She wanted to know everything.
This woman was also a difficult character to deal with, and they could not let their guard down easily. Although they were currently in a cooperative relationship, it was best not to let her know too many secrets. She was not one of them at all, and it was very likely that she would turn around and sell them for a good price.
After finalizing the details of the report, she left. Sirius and Lupin stayed behind.
They brought the current situation. Due to the prison break of the Death Eaters, the situation in the magic world was extremely tense!
Foggy accused Sirius of helping the Death Eaters escape and threatened to put him on trial. This was complete nonsense, but he did not doubt it at all. He even sent people to follow Sirius and monitor the places where they often appeared.
In addition, the Ministry of Magic had begun to search for and capture vampires again.
Sirius told them that Foggy had even sent Aurors to France and Norway to investigate and told them to be careful.
This was especially so for Elaine. Her identity was very sensitive, and she might already be suspected …
As for Elaine's uncle Keresis, with Dumbledore's help, it was said that he had already woken up and would recover soon.
They did not have to worry too much about this. What they needed to worry about were the thirty Death Eaters who had escaped. Sirius and Lupin told them in detail about the past of these Death Eaters, which was much more detailed than what was written in the newspapers. They also had many personal grudges with these Death Eaters.
Five hours later, they returned to the Hogwarts with heavy hearts.
Whether it was the ferocious Death Eaters or the recounting of what had happened that day to Rita, it was not easy.
Just like them, Ron, Ginny, and the other members of Gryffindor's team were not easy.
It was not until six o 'clock that Ron dragged his heavy body into the hall. He was covered in mud and in a terrible mood.
Ginny was next. She was also covered in mud and looked unhappy.
"How did the date go?" Ron asked in a distressed voice as he sat beside Harry.
"Don't mention it, it was a mess!" Harry shook his head and pulled over a plate of rhubarb pastries.
This was a heavy topic, and Elwyn had not even started yet.
He saw Corin walk in alone. The expression on his face clearly said that his day was not going well.
Was it really Valentine's Day today?
