and whimpering. 'VERY BAD BOY! YEH DON' GRAB - OUCH!'Harry poked his head out from around the trunk and saw Hagrid lying on his back, his handover his nose. Grawp, apparently losing interest, had straightened up and was again engagedin pulling back the pine as far as it would go.'Righ',' said Hagrid thickly, getting up with one hand pinching his bleeding nose and theother grasping his crossbow, 'well… there yeh are… yeh've met him an' - an' now he'll knowyeh when yeh come back. Yeah… well…'He looked up at Grawp, who was now pulling back the pine with an expression of detachedpleasure on his boulderish face; the roots were creaking as he ripped them away from theground.'Well, I reckon tha's enough fer one day,' said Hagrid. 'We'll -er - we'll go back now, shall we?'Harry and Hermione nodded. Hagrid shouldered his crossbow again and, still pinching hisnose, led the way back into the trees.Nobody spoke for a while, not even when they heard the distant crash that meant Grawp hadpulled over the pine tree at last. Hermione's face was pale and set. Harry could not think of asingle thing to say. What on earth was going to happen when somebody found out thatHagrid had hidden Grawp in the Forbidden Forest? And he had promised that he, Ron andHermione would continue Hagrid's totally pointless attempts to civilise the giant. How couldHagrid,wayfarer ray ban pas cher, even with his immense capacity to delude himself that fanged monsters wereloveably harmless, fool himself that Grawp would ever be fit to mix with humans?'Hold it,lunette soleil ray ban,' said Hagrid abruptly, just as Harry and Hermione were struggling through a patchof thick knotgrass behind him. He pulled an arrow out of the quiver over his shoulder andfitted it into the crossbow. Harry and Hermione raised their wands; now that they hadstopped walking, they, too, could hear movement close by.'Oh, blimey' said Hagrid quietly.'I thought we told you, Hagrid,' said a deep male voice, 'that you are no longer welcome here?'A man's naked torso seemed for an instant to be floating towards them through the dappledgreen half-light; then they saw that his waist joined smoothly into a horse's chestnut body.This centaur had a proud, high-cheekboned face and long black hair. Like Hagrid, he wasarmed; a quiverful of arrows and a longbow were slung over his shoulders.'How are yeh, Magorian?' said Hagrid warily.The trees behind the centaur rustled and four or five more centaurs emerged behind him.Harry recognised the black-bodied and bearded Bane, whom he had met nearly four yearsago on the same night he had met Firenze. Bane gave no sign that he had ever seen Harrybefore.'So,' he said, with a nasty inflection in his voice, before turning immediately to Magorian. 'Weagreed,lunette soleil ray ban, I think, what we would do if this human ever showed his face in the Forest again?''This human" now, am I?' said Hagrid testily. 'Jus' fer stoppin' all of yeh committin' murder?''You ought not to have meddled, Hagrid,' said Magorian. 'Our ways are not yours, nor are ourlaws. Firenze has betrayed and dishonoured us.''I dunno how yeh'work that out,' saiRelated articles:
