"What's the matter with him?" Harry felt something was wrong. There was something wrong with Gloop Gully?
"Well, now - the Centaurs -" violent "- are a little harsh," Hagrid said - still holding Harry's hand excitedly. "Now he may shake me a little when he's in a bad mood, but he's become better, much better, and stays here very well."
"What are those ropes for?" Harry asked. He had just noticed that there was a rope almost as thick as a young tree tied to some of the thickest trees nearby, with Gloop curled up in the middle with his back to them. Before, when van Lin was still there, glop was more free.
"You have to tie him up, don't you?" Ron said weakly, for Ron, Gloop is absolutely the kind of monster that can only be seen from afar.
"Well, yes," Hagrid said, looking worried. "You understand - as I said - he didn't really understand how strong he was."
Harry now understands why the rest of the animals in this part of the forest are strangely disappearing, and why centaurs choose to attack him --
"so, what do you want Ron to do with me?" Harry asked, worried.
"Take care of him," Hagrid roared, "after I left."
Harry and Ron exchanged a bitter look, and Harry was painfully aware that he had promised Hagrid that he would do whatever Hagrid asked.
"This - what does this include, exactly?" Ron asked.
"Not food or anything else!" Hagrid said eagerly, "he can find his own food, no problem. Birds, deer and other things. No, he just needs someone to accompany him, if I know someone can help him. Teach him, you know
Harry said nothing but turned to look at the huge body lying on the ground in front of them.
Unlike Hagrid - he just looks like a bigger man, Gloop looks a little deformed. A huge mossy stone on a mound - which he had always believed - was now Gloop's head.
It's a much larger proportion of the body than a normal person's head, and it's almost perfectly spherical - covered with curly fern hair. On a single brain pocket, the flesh colored ears on top of your head - it looks like sitting - like Uncle Vernon's head, which has almost no neck connection between his shoulders.
The back under his head looked like a brown blouse roughly sewn with animal fur, and it was very wide. When Gloop went to sleep, it was as if the rough fur seams were being pulled tight. With his legs curled under his body, Harry could see the bare, huge, dirty soles of his feet - the size of a sledge, overlapping on the ground.
"You let us teach him," Harry said, with a hollow look in his eyes. He now knew what Ferrer's warning meant.
Hagrid's efforts didn't work, so he'd better give it up. Of course, other creatures in the forest must have heard of Hagrid's pointless attempt to teach Gloop English.
"Yes, even if you just talk to him," Hagrid said hopefully, "I guess if he could talk to humans, he would know better that we like him and want him to stay."
Harry looked at Ron, who was retreating with some refusal.
"You kind of want us to get norbo back, don't you?" He said, and Ron just laughed weakly.
If nob comes back and sees this guy on his turf, he's a good tempered guy if he doesn't burn Gloop to carbon.
"So, you agreed?" Hagrid said he didn't seem to understand what Harry was saying.
"Well," said Harry, who was ready to keep his word, "we'll try, Hagrid."
"I knew I could trust you, Harry," Hagrid said cheerfully, wiping his face again with his handkerchief. "But I don't want to come too often. I know you're going to have an exam. All you have to do is come here once a week with your invisibility cloak and have a chat with him. I'm going to wake him up and introduce you. Although he has met you once, he has only left the impression of van Lin, and he needs to get familiar with other people. "
"What -- no!" Ron jumped up as if his butt had been ignited and said, "Hagrid, no! Don't wake him up, really, we don't need to - "
but Hagrid has already stepped over the huge tree trunk in front of them and headed for Gloop. When it was only ten feet away, Hagrid picked up a broken, long, thick branch from the ground, turned his head over his shoulder, gave Harry and Ron a reassuring smile, and then poked the head of the branch into Gloop's back of the head.
Harry was almost conditioned to run, but he had promised Hagrid.
He swore that when Gloop first arrived here, nothing was worse than now, but even van Lin was not willing to have a second contact with glop. But for Hagrid's request, Harry almost forgot that Hagrid had a giant brother and took him to the forbidden forest.The giant let out a roar, echoing in the silent forest. The birds on the top of the trees were startled and disappeared in a flash. In the meantime, in front of Harry and Ron, the giant Gloop rose from the ground and stood unsteadily on his hands. He turned his head to see who had woken him up.
"All right, Gloop?" Said Hagrid in a pleasant voice, lifting up the thick branch again, ready to poke at Gloop again. "Did you sleep well?"
Harry and Ron kept retreating as far as they could, but kept the giant in their sight. Gloop knelt between two trees that had not yet been uprooted. They looked up in surprise at his huge face - as if it were a full gray moon through the shadow of the open space.
His face seemed to have been chiseled into a huge stone ball - his almost shapeless nose was thick and short; his crooked mouth was grotesque yellow teeth as big as a brick; and his eyes, small, were muddy greenish brown, and they were now almost glued together, as they had just woken up.
Gloop raised his dirty Knuckles - each the size of a cricket ball - and put it on his eyes and rubbed it vigorously. Then, without any warning, he walked up with amazing agility.
"Oh, my God!" Harry heard Ron yelling in horror. The tree at the other end of the rope that was tied to Gloop's wrists and ankles creaked ominously.
He was - as Hagrid said - at least sixteen feet tall. Looking around dimly, Gloop held out a hand as big as an umbrella, seized a bird's nest on a branch of a towering pine tree, turned it upside down, and let out a roar. He was obviously not very dissatisfied with any bird in it.
The eggs fell to the ground like a grenade, and Hagrid held his stone bow over his head to protect himself.
"Anyway, little Gloop," Hagrid called, looking up worried in case any more eggs fall, "I've brought some friends to see you. Remember? They have come to see you. Remember, I said I might take a trip and let them take care of you? Do you still remember? Little Gloop? "
But Gloop just gave another low growl; it's hard to say if he was listening to Hagrid or even if he heard Hagrid's voice.
He was now grabbing the tip of the pine tree and pulling it towards him. Obviously, he likes to let go of the tree to see how far it can bounce.
"Now, little Gloop, don't do that!" Hagrid called out, "that's how you stop pulling out the rest -"
there's no doubt that Harry saw the soil beside the tree begin to crack.
"I have found you a companion." Hagrid exclaimed, "mate, see that? Look down, you big and ugly, I have brought you some friends
"Oh, Hagrid! Don't Ron said in agony, but Hagrid had already raised the branch again and poked it hard at Gloop's knee. The giant let go of the pine tree. It swayed worrisome, and the falling needles almost drowned Hagrid like rain. Then he looked down -
"here," Hagrid said, pointing to where Harry and Ron were standing, "it's Harry, Gloop! Harry Potter! He'll come here to see you when I'm gone, see? "
"As a matter of fact, Fanlin was supposed to be asked about it, but he left first." Hagrid was swinging his big head.
Gloop also heard Hagrid's words, or, to be exact, van Lin's name, and then unconsciously stepped back.
"How did he..."
"He is more afraid of Fanlin." Hagrid said, "because of some things in the giant tribe, Fanlin is not very happy..."
The giant had just noticed that Harry and Ron were standing there. They looked at him with violent trembling - he lowered his stone like head and looked at them vaguely.
"You see that, Ron? He - "Hagrid hesitated. He turned to Ron and said, "do you mind if he calls you Ron, Ron? Ron is a hard name for him to remember
"No, not at all," said Ron, taking two steps back.
"This is Ron, Gloop! He will come to see you, too! OK or not? Eh? Two friends for you - glo No
Gloop's hand suddenly rushed toward them; Harry quickly pulled Ron behind the tree, so Gloop's fist hit the trunk, but almost reached them.
"Baby, baby! Gloop They heard Hagrid yelling, and the two men were panting behind, and Harry suddenly understood why van Lin was being annoyed.
"Bad boy! You can't catch - ouch Harry leaned his head out of the tree and saw Hagrid lying on the ground, covering his nose with his hand. Gloop, who had apparently lost interest, was standing up again, busy pulling the pine tree as far as he could.
"All right," said Hagrid thickly, holding himself up with the hand that covered his bleeding nose, and with the other hand he grabbed his stone bow. "Well, there they are. You've met them and - and he'll know you when you come back. YesHe looked up at Gloop - he was running a tree, his stone face full of joy. He creaked as he pulled the roots up from the ground.
"Well, I guess that's enough for today," Hagrid said. "We're going to - er - we're going back now, OK?"
Harry and Ron nodded their heads desperately. There was nothing better for them.
Hagrid put the stone bow on his shoulder again, still covering his nose, and led them back to the depths of the trees.
For a while, none of them spoke, even when they heard a crash in the distance - which meant GoTop finally let go of the tree.
Harry couldn't find anything to say. What if someone found Hagrid hiding Gloop in the forbidden forest? He had never thought about this problem before, and after van Lin left, he had to solve it by himself.
And he promised that he and Ron would continue Hagrid's pointless attempt to teach giant civilization.
How could Hagrid use his own words to think that the fanged and toothy monsters were lovely and harmless? To lie to himself that Gloop will adapt to human beings?
Obviously, it's not Hagrid's brain, that is, Harry hasn't woken up today.
The latter is more likely. As van Lin said, glop's head is empty except for food. Even food comes from instinct.
Now, Harry is more inclined to have a stone giant in front of them, a brain as hard as a rock, and then hit it with a pine tree.
"Stop," Hagrid said suddenly as Harry and Ron were struggling in a bush behind him. He took an arrow from the quiver on his shoulder and put it on the stone bow.
Harry and Ron raised their wands - now that they had stopped, they could hear something moving around.
"Oh, my God," Hagrid whispered.
"I think I told you, Hagrid," said a deep male voice, "you are no longer welcome here, including your dangerous monster, Hagrid."
A man's bare upper body drifted straight to them from the half bright wood. They saw a brown horse connected seamlessly below his waist. The Centaur had a proud face with prominent cheekbones and long black hair.
Like Hagrid, he was armed - full of arrows, and a long bow hanging from his shoulder.
"You'd better keep him on guard!" The Centaur's voice threatened, "if something happens, we won't be merciful, and you can tell that guy, don't let his footprints appear in the forbidden forest. The moon god will punish all traitors."
There was a rustling sound in the trees behind the horse man, and four or five more appeared behind him. Harry recognized Bailey, black and bearded, whom he met four years ago when he met Fraser. Bailey pretended that he had never seen Harry at all.
"Well," said Bay in a disgusting voice before turning directly to Marguerite, "we all agree, I think, what we should do when this man's face reappears in the forbidden forest."
"This man, now, is that me?" Hagrid said angrily, "just because I stopped your shameful murder?"
"You shouldn't meddle, Hagrid," said margarine. "We have our way. It's none of your business. It's not your law. Fraser betrayed us and disgraced us
"I don't understand how you can do it," Hagrid said impatiently. "He did nothing but help Dumbledore -"
"ferretzer became a human slave," said a gray horse man with deep wrinkles. "In the Centaur tribe, this is an unforgivable mistake. We can't allow him to discredit the Centaur so wantonly."
