134. Another secret passage (please subscribe!)
Before Moody could recover from his shock, he had already been pushed down by Hagrid involuntarily at the table.
Maxim dealt the cards and chatted with Hagrid by the way.
"You have the blood of a giant in you?"
"So you also—"
Under Hagrid's eager expression, Maxim denies it flatly.
"I'm not! I'm just tall."
This left Hagrid a little disappointed.
And only he would foolishly believe it, and Moody didn't believe it anyway.
When Maxim introduced herself, she said she was a freshman at Beauxbatons this year.
At the age of eleven, he is 1.9 meters tall. Who would believe him without the blood of a giant?
Hagrid soon realized this too.
He used to feel inferior for his giant bloodline. Maxim is a girl, so he must be more discriminated against in this regard, and it is normal to be unwilling to admit it.
When playing poker, Maxime didn't use clichés, and he took the initiative to tell his own situation.
"My mother is a giant and my father is a wizard. They fell in love with each other because of an accident, but after giving birth to me, my mother returned to the giants. My father said that when I graduate from Hogwarts, I will become a current wizard in 957. Take me to find my mother."
Maxim was in exactly the same situation as Hagrid, but her pride would not allow herself to admit it.
Moody played his cards in a muffled voice.
He had secretly asked Dunn if there were any examples of a giant man and a witch falling in love.
Dunn replied that all hybrid giants are descendants of the combination of giantess and wizards. Anyway, he has never heard that giant males and witches can have descendants. He didn't explain the specific reasons, but said that Moody will understand when he grows up.
Hagrid is not good at chatting, but in the poker game he tried his best to find various topics to chat with Maxim.
It seemed silly to Moody, but he could understand Hagrid's approach.
After all, it is very difficult for a half-blood giant like Hagrid to find a companion of his own age.
On the other hand, Maxime, on the other hand, has been lukewarm in her response to Hagrid.
A hand down, and in the end it was Moody who won.
At the beginning of the second hand, Maxim finally took the initiative to ask Hagrid a question.
"I heard that due to the outbreak of war, Hogwarts cancelled all (cgdb) student societies?
"That's right, but—" Just as he was about to say that he had joined the Lionheart Club, Moody's cough suddenly occurred beside him.
Having reacted, Hagrid hurriedly changed his tune, saying that Hogwarts still had a lot to do outside of class.
Maxim frowned.
"No wonder you're so bored at school. By the way, I don't see any other Hogwarts students outside, so how many weekends do you have to stay in the castle?
"It's normal, but—"
The coughing sounded again.
Hagrid hurriedly shut up.
Maxim shrugged.
"Well, I don't want to talk about it, I don't care how you sneak out of Hogwarts Castle anyway. 35
Hagrid finally couldn't hold back this time.
"We came through a secret passage, sorry I can't tell you more, but this secret passage is only available to our Lionheart members.""
"Hagrid!"
Moody raised his voice in dissatisfaction.
Hagrid turned to look at Moody seriously.
"Dunn never forbade us from speaking out about Lionhearts.
Moody shrugged helplessly.
Hagrid said he had already said it, and it was useless for him to stop Hagrid's mouth now.
He just wanted to remind Hagrid not to keep being silly.
Hagrid also realized that he was talking a little too much, and became much silent in the next round.
Maxim regretted secretly in her heart, she knew that there was no way to get more useful information out of Hagrid's mouth today.
Just then, Hermione came over.
As soon as she came up, she interrupted the game, looked at Moody and said, "I'm sorry, we shouldn't deceive you, in fact, we have negotiated everything today. Fleur and her relatives are staying in France. She is very worried about the safety of the other party. Now The only person who could possibly know about her relatives was Nico Mailer, but he was at Hogwarts Castle and we couldn't see him.
Moody wasn't stupid either, he had some doubts just now, and now Hermione reacted immediately after saying this.
"So you're trying to get the passphrase from me and Hagrid. Dunn told us that you saw the secret of the entrance to the secret passage. All three of you have been in there."
Hermione nodded.
Moody glanced at Hagrid, who was still in shock and didn't respond, turned to Hermione and Fleur who came over, and said regretfully: "Although I really want to help you, I'm sorry I can't say the pass code, I have to join the lion Only the mind can use the secret path, this is the rule set by Dunn.
Maxim looked at the hesitant Hagrid in disappointment.
"Are you like him too?"
Before Hagrid could answer, Moody's voice rang out.
"You don't have to embarrass Hagrid, even if he wants to help you, he can't do it! Because when we joined the Lionheart, we have made a loyalty spell with Dunn that will never betray, even if Hagrid tried to tell you the passphrase, it would be blocked. That spell stops!
Seeing Sisters Furong and Gabriel who were crying in the arms of Maxim, Hagrid felt very sad.
"Moody, maybe we can get Dunn and tell him about it."
"And let Dunn take the lead in breaking his own rules?"
Hagrid was stunned on the spot.
He looked at Moody in despair.
"So there's really no way?
Moody sighed.
For Hagrid's sake, he decided to help Furong once.
"You must not use this secret passage in the basement of the tavern. Even if you know the passphrase, the room behind the wall is a very magical place. There is now a very powerful magical creature guarding it. Once a stranger breaks in, immediately will be torn apart by it. 99
"By the way, Hermione, you have seen that magical creature, the thunderbird brought by Professor Scamander, it is now kept by Dunn in the room at the exit of the secret passage.
From the expressions of Hermione's three people who changed color instantly, Fleur and Maxim already understood that Moody didn't lie.
"Dunn once told me and Hagrid that there is more than one secret passage between Hogwarts Castle and Hogsmeade Village. The most hidden and safe one is of course the one in the basement of the pub, but we also know that there is another secret passage. It leads to Hogwarts."
"It just so happens that we have never been to that secret passage. We can escort you there, but when you get to the castle, how to get back is up to you!"
