Facing the giant who was more than three meters tall, although Vernon was afraid, he still used his fat body to try to protect his family behind him.
The giant used a small red umbrella on his waist to move towards the fireplace. A magical scene appeared. The originally extinguished fireplace suddenly started to burn again.
Dudley's eyes lit up when he saw this scene. Is this magic? It's really amazing.
The giant heated up the fire for a while, but still felt that his body was not warm enough, so he rubbed his hands: "Oh, I want to drink a cup of hot tea, you should have it."
Such rude behavior of directly asking and threatening made Dudley instantly stop seeking advice and said with a cold expression: "Tea is for entertaining guests."
The implication is already obvious, an order to expel guests.
"Hey, Dursley, look at this stupid big guy of yours. He hasn't figured out one thing yet." The giant seemed to not understand, and said fiercely to Dudley: "Remember, there are people who are stronger than you. Don’t say no in front of me.”
Petunia was afraid that the giant would be harmful to Dudley and wanted to make tea for him. Dudley grabbed her mother and went to make a cup of tea for Hagrid himself.
Dudley remained expressionless throughout the entire process.
When Harry saw this, he understood... This was a sign before Dudley became angry.
He knew that Dudley liked to convince people with reason many times, but if he kept a straight face and stopped talking, he just wanted to convince people with reason.
The former is theory and the latter is physics.
Of course Harry thought Dudley was stronger. He had never seen Dudley lose in a fight, but the giant's figure was so huge that he was inevitably a little worried.
'If a fight breaks out, I'll hit him hard with a burning stick. '
Harry's eyes kept darting around, and finally landed on the giant's buttocks.
"That's right. I didn't expect a clumsy-looking guy like you to be able to make tea." Hagrid paid no attention to Dudley's expression, took the tea cup from his hand and took a sip, saying with satisfaction. Then he showed a pleasant smile to Harry, who was standing on the right side of Vernon, and muttered: "Harry, no matter what, I wish you a happy birth."
'Arrogant and uneducated. ’ Dudley commented in his heart.
It takes the evaluation of Hogwarts to another level.
The giant said as he took out a squashed box and handed it to Harry.
"Oh, it seems to be crushed, but it will definitely taste good, I promise."
"Who are you?"
Harry did not leave Vernon's shelter, nor did he reach out to receive the giant's gift. He just looked at him warily.
Seeing that Harry was reluctant to accept his gift, Hagrid was a little embarrassed and took it back in a sullen voice: "I forgot to introduce myself, Rubeus Hagrid. Just call me Hagrid. I am the keeper of the keys to Hogwarts." officers and gamekeepers..."
At this point, Hagrid paused and stared at Harry with his big eyes: "You always know about Hogwarts, right?"
Harry was stunned by his gaze and shook his head: "I don't know."
"Don't know?!" Hagrid suddenly roared after hearing Harry's answer. He turned his head and glared at the Dursleys. With his huge figure, he was like an angry King Kong. His eyes seemed to want to eat them.
On the other side, Dudley was fully prepared and ready to attack, waiting for Hagrid to attack at any time.
"Why don't you know?!" Hagrid used 'Roaring Loudly', causing the whole cabin to shake: "I know you didn't receive those letters, but you should... I understand! Dursley !”
Hagrid's volume increased a few decibels again.
"You never told this kid, right? You didn't tell him everything he should know!"
'What should I know?' '
When Harry heard Hagrid's words, he couldn't help but feel a little doubt in his heart.
But years of life made him believe that his aunt and uncle would not harm him.
Hagrid's mood surprisingly softened when he looked at Harry: "Harry...you should want to know something about your parents, right? Come here, I'll tell you!"
In Hagrid's opinion, Harry should be curious about his parents.
Every child is like this.
Unexpectedly, Harry said with a cold expression: "Not interested."
Harry was not stupid. In fact, he already had a suspicion in his heart. The other party mentioned his parents many times. Judging from the tone of his voice, he should be his parents' good friends during his lifetime. However, Harry had not seen the other party once in so many years.
Dudley had taught him since he was a child that the kind of guy you never see, but one day suddenly shows up claiming to be your acquaintance, must have other intentions for you.
Of course, this is based on the situation that the other party did not lie. If he did...
Harry remembered that when he was very young, he was taken away by a guy who claimed to be an acquaintance of his parents. That day, Petunia and Vernon went crazy looking for his whereabouts. In the end, Dudley found him in a small shabby house. , at that time, he and many children of the same age were huddled in a room with leaky windows and shivering.
Later he found out... the guy who claimed to be an acquaintance of his parents was actually a personal trafficker, and he and the group of children were all 'goods' to be sold.
From that day on, Dudley began to go to and from school with him, even if he got out of school earlier than she did.
So either of the above scenarios is not good news.
Harry suddenly realized that the giant man in front of him who called himself Hagrid might be related to the letters he had received before, because the place called Hogwarts could not go to Smelting Middle School with Dudley.
Thinking of this, I suddenly felt disgusted with this place called Hogwarts for no reason. At the same time, I became a little worried about the safety of Dudley and his uncle and aunt.
'Should I pretend to agree to him? And then take the opportunity to call the police? '
Because of being rejected by Harry, Hagrid's interest suddenly became very low. He lowered his head and was silent for a while, then raised his head again and looked at Harry with stern eyes: "Harry, do you want to know who you are? Dursley I probably didn’t tell you!”
"Shut up!" His words seemed to hit something in the hearts of the Dursleys. Vernon suppressed his inner fear of Hagrid and shouted to Hagrid with a commanding tone: "Stop talking. !I don’t allow you to say anything to this child!”
"From the moment we brought him into our home, we decided to stay away from that hellish place!"
Vernon turned the fear in his heart into strength. He glared back at Hagrid's angry eyes without any sign of weakness, and said forcefully every word: "That damn place has already killed this child's parents. Do you still want to Is this the same with this kid?!”
"We will protect this child! Until he comes of age!"
PS: I actually don’t have any bad feelings towards Hagrid, but this time it’s different from the perspective of the Dursleys. This guy is a bad visitor.
PS2: Hagrid stopped by and asked for tea. His words were a threat. Even a half-blood giant who is highly discriminated against in the wizarding world still has a natural sense of superiority when facing Muggles.
