The Shopkeeper of All Worlds in the British Wizarding World

Chapter 300 The Half-Blood Giant
Ryan happened to be going to the library on the second floor to read a book, so he and Hagrid happened to drop in upstairs together.When watching Hagrid put the Christmas tree in the prescribed position and pick up the armor, Ryan finally couldn't help asking his own question.

"Hagrid, can't you use magic now? Why don't you use magic to move this thing?"

"It's just getting used to it." Hagrid patted the armor on his shoulders, which caused another burst of curses from Peeves inside. "To be honest, the Yule Ball is a very good opportunity to relax. I usually see you and Hermione studying with a book all day long, so you can take this opportunity to take a good rest this time."

"Yeah, it's the Christmas holiday after all." Speaking of which, the two of them had arrived in the corridor on the second floor. Ryan was just about to walk towards the library when he suddenly stopped as if thinking of something.

"Hagrid, have you been getting closer to Madam Maxime recently?" Ryan asked, looking at Hagrid.Hagrid also stopped, and then said a little embarrassedly, "Yeah, after all these years I've only seen a big woman like her."

Ryan nodded, and after observing that there were no other people around, he said, "Hagrid, as a friend, I need to tell you that in public now, no matter whether there is anyone or not, you must never talk about your relationship with Mrs. Maxim. The issue of giant lineage."

Hagrid looked blank, "Why is that?"

"You have to know that the entire wizarding world pays more attention to bloodlines, and generally rejects wizards with non-human bloodlines. In particular, once a wizard is mixed with the blood of some evil creatures recognized by the magic world, most wizards will reject it." Trust. Mrs. Maxim has gone through a lot of hardships to become the principal, but once others know that she has giant blood, they will definitely attack her. At that time, most of her life's efforts will be wasted. And I imagine Mark An elegant woman like Mrs. Sim doesn't want to be associated with a giant, so that she can associate something not so good."

Hagrid was a little dizzy by Ryan's words, but he nodded and said, "I know you're doing it for my own good, so I swear I won't talk to her about this and hurt her."

Speaking of this, Hagrid suddenly reacted and said, "Wait, when did you know I'm a half-giant?"

"Shh, keep your voice down." Ryan put his hand in front of his mouth and gestured. "Most people don't like half giants, what are you doing shouting so loudly?"

After finishing speaking, Ryan went on to say in a calm tone: "You said that I read books all day long, so I can naturally infer this from your physical resistance and your aging speed. After all, normal people are not affected by it like you are." Fantastic Beasts recover so quickly from injuries and don't look like you're in your 60s when you're in your 40s. Combine that with your extraordinarily large size and I knew you were a half-giant when I was in first grade gone."

Having said that, Ryan patted Hagrid on the arm and said, "Of course, I think you are a good person. I will also help you keep this secret."

After speaking, Ryan left the dazed Hagrid to go to the library to study, leaving only the dazed Hagrid standing there blankly.

After an afternoon of reading in the library, Ryan and Hermione went to the Great Hall for dinner.Due to the presence of foreign guests, the school meals have been kept at a relatively high level recently, especially with the addition of many exotic dishes.For example, the German-style grilled white sausage tonight made Ryan very happy.

"The food here in England is too greasy." At this time, Fleur's voice with a French accent came from the direction of Ravenclaw, "I feel that I have gained a lot of weight recently, and I can't fit my robes!"

"No one forced her to eat so much, who is to blame if she can't control herself? Ryan, you should at least beat this woman who only cares about herself." Hermione said to Ryan beside her a little upset after hearing this sentence .

"Don't worry, I can definitely beat her." Ryan replied vaguely while drinking the German-style creamy shrimp soup.

"Don't have food in your mouth when you talk." Hermione picked up the book on the stool and patted Ryan a few times, but judging from her expression, she should be quite satisfied with Ryan's answer just now.

After eating, the two chatted for a while about Transfiguration before getting up and going back to the common room.When they walked to the foyer with their books in their arms, they saw a large group of people gathered there, and Ron's loud voice could be heard from inside.

"Miss Delacour, may you be my partner?"

"Is he crazy?" Hermione said as she squeezed to the front of the crowd under Ryan's path, and she saw Fleur standing with a few girls from Beauxbatons and looked at Ron with contemptuous eyes, as if He was a sea cucumber or something, and he didn't even bother to answer.

In this awkward atmosphere, the blood on Ron's face faded suddenly, and then he covered his face and got into the crowd to escape.

"Is he going to be okay?" Hermione was kinder, and asked worriedly after reading the joke.

"It's okay, didn't you see that Harry and Ginny went up to help him?" Ryan has always had good eyesight after mastering Hawkeye, and he easily crossed the crowd and saw Ron being helped away by Harry and Ginny.

When Ryan and the others returned to the common room, they saw Ron sitting there with a dead face, and several people were comforting him.

"It's okay, Ron. Fleur is a mixed Veela, maybe at that time she just had the magic power of charm released." Ryan stepped forward to persuade.

"Hybrid Veela, really?" Ron asked as if grasping at straws.

"Really, when Fleur was examining the wand that day, she said her grandmother was a Veela. Ask Harry if you don't believe me."

Harry nodded quickly to show that what Ryan said was true, which finally made Ron look better.But his face soon collapsed, "Harry, Ryan, you have all found a partner, but I don't have a partner yet. By the way, Ginny, can you go to the prom with me?"

"Man, that would look like I'm nobody. Besides, I've got a date."

"You found a partner, who?" Ron said in disbelief.

"This is my private matter. You just need to know that someone appreciates your sister." Ginny said in an exaggerated tone.

Ron kept thinking about it for the rest of the time, and Ryan took an opportunity to ask Harry in a low voice, "Did you tell Ron that Ginny was your partner?"

"No." Harry shrugged. "Both Ginny and I think it's more appropriate to talk about this kind of thing at a later time, otherwise--" Harry pointed to Ron who was nagging his sister somewhere.

"Well, you are right." Ryan also made an empathetic expression at this time.With such a brother, there are indeed some things that are not suitable to be said in advance.
