This time Hagrid did not resist, but nimbly hid aside... Just kidding, he would have to be crazy to resist the Death Curse.
After escaping the death curse, Hagrid ran over quickly again, opened his big hand, and slapped the opponent again.
"boom!"
The Death Eater rolled out like a tumbleweed, and Kyle seemed to hear the sound of bones breaking.
But Kyle also recognized the identity of the other party, Rodolphus Lestrange, who was really a Death Eater who had escaped from prison before, and his photo was on the previous wanted poster.
"Get up, you despicable, dirty coward!" Hagrid roared and ran towards the opponent again.
Kyle couldn't help but turn his head.
When it comes to Hagrid, it can be considered that he is unlucky.
The other side was much more normal. Maxim shattered the mask with a spell, revealing a young face inside.
Barty Crouch Jr. is an old acquaintance. It seems that Voldemort really values the giant and actually sent all his most trusted subordinates here.
Kyle is going to help Maxim and leave Crouch here.
Although he is a little tired now and it is difficult to help, it does not mean that he has no other options.
Kyle opened the box, and a shadow jumped out. Almost in the blink of an eye, it came to Barty Crouch Jr. and bit the hand holding the wand.
Originally, Cat Leopard wanted to bite the neck, but Barty Crouch Jr. seemed to be aware of the danger and lowered his head to avoid it. Cat Leopard could only pounce and bite the opponent's arm.
But in this way, the life-killing curse he was about to complete was interrupted.
At the same time, Maxim's curse also exploded in his chest.
Barty Crouch Jr. screamed and spit out a mouthful of blood.
"Damn it." Looking at the Cat Leopard so close at hand, Barty Crouch Jr. had a fierce look in his eyes and turned around suddenly.
Maxim's second blasting spell landed on his bitten arm.
His arm was blown off, but at the same time, Barty Crouch Jr. was free again.
Without any hesitation, he turned into a black mist and flew out of the valley in the blink of an eye.
This is a kind of curse commonly used by Death Eaters. It was probably invented by Voldemort. It is very fast and very useful whether it is escaping or chasing.
It's too late to chase now.
"He is a cruel person..."
Kyle looked at the severed hand and wand that were left behind and said softly.
Another Death Eater, Rodolphus Lestrange, was not so lucky. After seeing Barty Jr. running away, he actually wanted to run back.
But how could the people who were on guard give him this chance? Almost the moment he turned into black mist, three magic spells flew over from different directions and beat him out.
Then Hagrid arrived, raised two thick arms, and beat him hard. Lestrange didn't even scream and fainted on the spot.
"Isn't he dead?" Kyle asked in a low voice, looking at the motionless Lestrange.
"Yes, probably, no...I didn't use much strength." Hagrid said a little guilty, but soon his face became stern and he said forcefully: "He is a Death Eater, and he wants to take the giant to the battlefield. Even if you die, you deserve it.”
"That's right." Maxim came over and said seriously: "If the giants also participate in the next war, more wizards will die."
"I didn't say anything else." Kyle shrugged.
"It's best to be alive. We need to know more information about the mysterious man. He seems to know a lot." Newt came to Lestrange and squatted down to check his situation.
Although Newt is a magical zoologist, he also knows a thing or two about healing magic. After all, those magical animals can also get sick.
After a moment he was back on his feet.
"Forget it, let Dumbledore find another way to get information."
Everyone present immediately understood what he meant, and immediately started working tacitly... Cleaning the battlefield, cleaning up the remaining traces of magic and the unextinguished flames on the ground.
Hagrid seemed to be preoccupied with something, absent-minded.
"Don't think so much." Kyle walked over and patted his arm. "As you just said, he is a Death Eater, you don't need to care..."
"What?" Hagrid turned his head, "No, Kyle, you misunderstood. Don't forget that I participated in the war more than ten years ago and killed many Death Eaters. This is nothing."
"Then why were you absent-minded just now?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
"I was thinking, is it too late for me to learn magic now?"
He secretly glanced in Maxim's direction and whispered: "You noticed just now, she was so elegant when fighting."
When he said this, Hagrid's eyes almost turned into heart shapes.
But soon he said with a bit of loneliness: "But I can't even apparate, so it will definitely be a hindrance in the future."
There was nothing that could be done about it. Hagrid was expelled when he was in third grade, and he didn't like reading, so he only learned some basic magic.
But with the strong body of the hybrid giant, he never cared about this.
"Well... there should be enough time." Seeing Hagrid looking like he was falling in love, although Kyle wanted to turn around and leave, he still endured the sour smell and did not move.
"If you need it, I can lend you my book. It contains the notes I took during class. It should be helpful for you to learn magic."
"That's great." Hagrid said, and then he thought of something else, "What about Apparition...can I learn it?"
Kyle's mouth moved.
For hybrid giants, it was not unusually difficult for them to learn to apparate. Kyle was not surprised that Maxim could do this.
After all, she is the principal of Beauxbatons, and there is definitely nothing to say about her strength or talent.
But Hagrid...to be honest, Kyle really couldn't guarantee whether he could learn it.
"Try it." He said with a smile: "Magic means everything is possible."

written request for leave
written request for leave
I'm asking for a leave. There were too many things to do before the New Year. I worked overtime all night yesterday to catch up on the progress. I just slept for three hours when I received the call again. I'm still dizzy and I really can't write anything.
Sorry.

Chapter 695 The Death Eaters’ Decision
After solving the giant's crisis, Kyle and others did not leave here immediately, but prepared to follow the giant to visit their tribe.
But before setting off, Kyle looked at the Death Eaters on the ground and asked, "What should he do? Do you want to take him with you?"
"Leave it to me." Hagrid took out a round mirror, walked to the side and whispered something to it.
To be honest, the mirror was not that big, just like the ones girls carry with them. When Hagrid held it, it was like holding a piece of freshly baked corn chips, as if he might throw it away at any time. Crushed.
Fortunately, this did not happen.
After a while, two small black dots fell from the sky and arrived in front of several people almost in the blink of an eye.
Sirius and Lupine staggered to the ground.
"Hello, Mr. Scamander, Ms. Maxime." Lupine threw a stone in his hand aside. They had just used this portkey to get here, but it was of no use now.
"Oh, and Kyle, Hagrid, long time no see."
"Long time no see, Remus," said Hagrid. "I was worried that the mirror didn't work just now."
"I have always been guarding a double-sided mirror." Lu Ping also took out a round mirror and said with a smile, "As long as you call my name, I can hear it immediately. How about it? I haven't met you yet." What's the danger?"
"Fortunately, everything has been solved," Hagrid said.
Then he briefly explained what happened just now... Mainly because when he arrived here, the entire valley had been wrapped in thick fog, and he didn't see anything in more detail.
While they were talking, Sirius on the other side had also discovered the Death Eater lying on the ground. He walked over, and when he saw the other person's appearance, he suddenly froze in place.
It wasn't until someone tapped him on the shoulder that he came back to his senses.
"What's wrong?" Lupine asked.
"Ah, nothing." Sirius shook his head, his eyes still fixed on the Death Eater, "Do you know who he is?"
"Lestrange?" Lupine looked over and said with some surprise.
Although he had just heard the news from Hagrid, but now he had a different feeling after seeing it with his own eyes.
Because the other party is an old acquaintance of theirs, and they had many interactions with each other more than ten years ago.
"Yes, Lestrange." Sirius shook his head, "Remember when he was in school? He looked so high-spirited."
"Of course I remember, Slytherin's most influential figure was also a prefect and the president of the Boys' Student Union." Lupine said, "It's a pity that he later turned to the mysterious man."
"Why, do you know him?" Kyle said curiously, "Normally you wouldn't be so sentimental over a dead Death Eater."
"Sentimental? How is that possible!" Sirius shook his head, "It's just that we had a lot of interactions when we were in school, and he is also the husband of my cousin Bellatrix, so he is a relative."
"Ah, I'm sorry." Hagrid said subconsciously: "I didn't mean to..."
"What stupid things are you talking about, Hagrid." Sirius glanced at him, "He is a Death Eater, why are you sorry? Even if I were here, I would definitely kill him.
"And speaking of relatives, our pure-blood families are more or less related to each other. I'm not familiar with him."
"Aren't you still inmates?" Kyle whispered beside him.
Sirius was stunned for a moment, then turned back and glared at Kyle angrily.
"Well, you're right," he muttered. "Lestrange was next door to me at the time, and he said he was going to kill me, but a month later he couldn't say anything... the idiot."
As he spoke, Lupine had already lifted Lestrange on his shoulders.
"We have to go, Alastor and the others are still waiting," he said, taking out another stone from his pocket.
"So fast?"
"Don't forget, the portkey has its time..." Lupine said, "We can't help here."
"Okay then." Sirius put his hand on the stone, "Do you want to go back together? We can go together."
