The Legend of Harry Potter Schoolmaster

Chapter 403 Hunting (2 in 1)

At its peak, the giants had at least hundreds of tribes, large and small, in Europe.

They are ferocious in nature, often invading Muggle territories and causing small-scale Muggle massacres; to this day, there are still many stories describing the cruelty of giants in the legends and fables of Muggles.

Due to the natural fear of magic, few giants dare to attack wizard villages; but when encountering lonely wizards, brutal giants will not be merciless... Such giant attacks are not uncommon.

As early as the beginning of the eighteenth century, the newly established Ministry of Magic listed giants as "magical animals that must be eliminated".

Damocles Rolle, the notorious and unpopular second Minister of Magic (1718-1726), whose only commendable act during his tenure was to sign the "Giant Removal Act"—— According to the regulations of the decree, any wizard can get a reward of 50-100 Galleons (100 Galleons for adult giants, 50 Galleons for other giants) for every complete scalp of a giant they surrender to the Ministry of Magic.

And when Eldridge Diggory, the fourth Minister of Magic, was in office, he created the Auror recruitment plan for the first time... The purpose of the Aurors was originally created and trained to hunt giants .

The hunting of wizards is only one factor, and a more important reason is that the giants themselves can kill each other... Giants are not a kind of magical animals suitable for large-scale groups, because their brutal nature makes them very difficult to live together when they live together. prone to conflict. After their territory was destroyed by wizards and forced to drive them to fixed settlements, the phenomenon of giants killing each other became extremely common, and they would bleed into rivers every day.

After two centuries of unremitting efforts, by the early 20th century, the total number of giants in Europe was less than 300, distributed in several small settlements...

During the First Wizarding War, most of these giants joined You-Know-Who and were responsible for some of the worst Muggle massacres...but they didn't play a bigger role in that war.

And with the sudden defeat of the mysterious man overnight, the giants also completely lost their traces... At least within the scope of the British Isles, no giant has ever appeared in the past ten years.

It wasn't until more than a year ago that Albus Dumbledore's confidant Rubeus Hagrid found the last remaining group of giants in the mountains of Dijon...but they soon joined the mysterious man's camp again , against the wizarding world...

As one of the few students in the school who will pay attention to the "History of Magic" taught by Binns, Jon Hart is no stranger to the history of grievances between wizards, Muggles and giants.

Now that the giants have completely fallen to Voldemort's side, and created the "West Coast Hurricane" incident, causing hundreds of Muggle casualties... Jon feels that it is reasonable to completely eliminate them.

So this time he directly sought the help of the Aurors of the Ministry of Magic, not Dumbledore's Order of the Phoenix... As a standard "dove", Albus Dumbledore has always advocated that through peaceful exchanges, the giants On their side... In Jon's view, this is nothing more than Dumbledore's wishful thinking.

After the "hostage exchange" incident, the Ministry of Magic, which was forced to compromise with the Death Eaters and the mysterious man, suffered a great loss of reputation... They are also eager to make some achievements as soon as possible and explain to the entire wizarding world.

...

The concealment magic set by Voldemort was quite brilliant, but it fell apart after a few Aurors cracked it.

With a clear explosion, the illusion of the previous "lake" disappeared from the eyes of the Aurors completely; instead, there was a creek with many disgusting "waste" floating on it, and after the creek, there were more than a dozen A cave at least twenty yards high.

Of course, there are still two giants in the fight.

Under the influence of Jon's "Powerful Confusion Potion" ten minutes ago, they were distracted, and they were fighting over there...

but now--

The two giants let go of their hands one after another and stopped fighting; looking at the dozens of fully armed wizards on the other side, even with the giant's IQ, they realized that the danger was approaching.

One giant lifted the fallen stick, and the other tried to run towards the fire.

"Stop them!" Scrimgeour ordered loudly, "Don't let them sound the alarm!"

A dozen or so Aurors had quickly apparated to the giant, surrounding the two giants from different directions.

The Aurors weren't throwing a lot of aggressive spells at the giants... in fact, it would be futile to do so. The giant's hard skin gave them extremely high magic resistance, half of spells like the Stunning Spell, it was difficult to cause too much damage to them.

"Incarcerous...!"

I only heard those Aurors shouting one after another, they are all using the confinement spell——

Thick ropes appeared out of thin air, entwining the feet of the two giants... With the strength of the giants, it is not difficult to break free of these ropes; but every time they break free, their huge bodies will be a little unstable.

The tall giant with the stick, trying to swing the stick, knock down these annoying "bugs".

"Protego!"

And every time the giant swung his club down, an Auror cast the Iron Armor Charm to protect his companions...

The other giant, who had jumped at the fire, tripped over a thick hemp rope, lost his balance, and fell completely to the ground—less than ten yards from the fire.

"Reducto..."

Just as the giant fell to the ground, the five shattering spells accurately hit the back of its head...more precisely, the brainstem.

The other parts of giants are extremely hard and highly resistant to magic, but the back of the head is very fragile... Generally speaking, giant leaders like to wear helmets to protect their heads; but it is difficult for ordinary giants to have such treatment. And for the Aurors, this is also a little trick they have passed down for two centuries to hunt giants; otherwise, even if they use the Killing Curse, they may not be able to achieve such good results.

Hit by five shattering curses in a row, the giant's brainstem was almost shattered in an instant... The scene was bloody and bloody for a while, and Jon felt a little disgusted watching it.

And the giant that was hit by the Shattering Curse lay paralyzed there, howling fiercely... and it could no longer move half a step.

One giant was knocked down, and the other giant with a wooden stick was under even greater pressure... It didn't last long, and after just over ten seconds, it also tripped over the rope of the "Confinement Curse" ; and then the Aurors did the same, causing it to be hit in the brainstem with the Shattering Curse.

...

The two "guardian" giants were brought down, and the Aurors made it through the disgusting creek unimpeded.

Jon cast a "hover spell" on himself, and "flyed" over smoothly.

There are a dozen huge, bottomless caves, and there is still no loud noise inside... It seems that the "masters" who live in them have not heard the noisy fighting outside.

That's normal... Giants have always had bad hearing. And this sound may be very loud for small wizards; but it may be insignificant for adult giants with a height of 20-25 feet.

However, the Aurors who came to the entrance of the cave hesitated, including Rufus Scrimgeour.

In the narrow area of ​​the cave, if you break in rashly, after being discovered by the giants, it will be easy for the giants to crush it...

Jon followed behind Kingsley Shacklebolt, watching the Aurors hesitating outside the cave, he calmly began to flip through the suitcase.

"Oh?" Kingsley looked at him curiously, and asked softly, "Jon...do you have any plans?"

"Of course!" Jon nodded without thinking, and then he had turned out two crystal bottles from the suitcase.

Poured the potions in the two crystal bottles on the ground in turn, and then Jon took out his wand:

"Incendio!"

As a burst of flames erupted from the end of the wand, billowing black smoke quickly rose from the potion on the ground.

Jon also covered his nose, and explained to the Aurors on the side: "Living Hell Potion... and Smoke Potion... everyone pay attention!"

Then, Jon raised his wand against the billowing black smoke—

Under his command, the black smoke drifted to the depths of one of the caves!

As a powerful sleeping pill, Living Hell Decoction can achieve good results even against creatures with extremely high magic resistance such as dragons and giants; and if the giants in the cave are still asleep, then the effect will be even better.

A small amount of smoke-generating potion can emit thick smoke... The thick smoke can absorb the living hell decoction and bring it deep into the cave.

When the Aurors heard this, their expressions changed a little.

Several Aurors also imitated Jon, covering their noses; and Kingsley had already reacted——

He also took out his wand, and together with Jon, used the "Blowing Charm" to blow the black smoke...

Almost black smoke was blown deep into the cave by them.

...

"A good way..." Rufus Scrimgeour also came over. He also saw Jon's actions in the distance just now: "You have the antidote for the Living Hell Potion with you?"

At this time, the cave was already filled with the aura of living hell potion. If the antidote was not taken, even if the Aurors rushed in, they would be easily hypnotized.

"That's right!" Jon rummaged through the suitcase again, found a few crystal bottles, and handed them to him.

Scrimgeour glanced at Jon in astonishment, with a bit of appreciation on his face.

After taking one of the crystal bottles, he approached it cautiously, opened the bottle cap, fanned it a little to his nose, and smelled it——

When it was confirmed that it was indeed the antidote to the Potion of Living Hell; Scrimgeour took a sip, and then handed the crystal vial to another Auror.

Several crystal vials were passed from one Auror to another, and soon each Auror was given the antidote from the Living Hell Potion.

"Let's go, enter the cave, and catch the giants!" Scrimgeour ordered decisively: "Try to keep alive...but if the giants are not completely asleep, kill them!"

The Aurors broke into different teams and broke into the cave one by one.

Jon and Kingsley also break into one of the caves, along with the Auror Nymphadora Tonks and an Auror Jon doesn't know.

...

The cave looks very rough, it should be dug out by the giants with bare hands; there are almost no decorations, and the living conditions of the giants are not good.

Although the potion of living hell had been poured into the cave in advance, the giants inside must be asleep theoretically... But Jon and the Aurors were very careful along the way.

There was a sudden loud bang ahead, startling Jon.

Kingsley signaled him not to act rashly, raised his wand and took a few steps forward.

"Lumos Maximum!"

The light at the end of Kingsley-Shacklebolt's wand instantly illuminated the entire cave; Jon also discovered the source of the "noise" just now—

It is a big and ugly male giant. His body is at least twenty feet tall, and his weight is comparable to two male elephants... The skin is as rough as a rhinoceros, and his body is very fat. There are several people beside him. The remains of animals should be cattle and sheep.

The sound just now was also made by it, I saw its chest unceasingly heaving and snoring heavily.

Tonks couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief: "We have to take it out before he wakes up...Rufus just said, catch as many alive as possible!"

"Let's work together!" Kingsley's magnetic voice suggested, "Lift it out."

The other Auror had no objection either.

All three of them used the "Confinement Curse" and turned into many hemp ropes, which quickly tied the giant tightly.

Then they raised their wands above their heads in different directions, muttering words... The huge body of the giant was lifted up by them with the "floating spell", and then moved little by little towards the entrance of the cave.

...

Jon Hart did not join them, he continued to walk deeper into the cave.

Along the way, he saw two more "little giants"... They were small, but only relatively speaking, they were at least as tall as a floor, but they must still be minors in the group of giants.

The two juvenile giants were also asleep, and Jon ignored them.

Continue to move forward... Finally, he found a female giant.

It is not difficult to distinguish the male and female giants from their appearance... because it is difficult to completely cover their bodies with the animal skin "clothes" on their bodies.

Jon decided to try first.

He first tied up the sleeping female giant with a confinement spell; just in case, he also sprinkled a lot of spores from the devil's net on her body.

After everything was ready, he took out a small vial of the antidote of Living Hell Potion, and poured it into the mouth of the female giant...

The giant slowly opened his eyes from his sleep——

"Legilimency!" A cold voice rang in its ears.
