v2 Chapter 734： Owl fortress

After Hagrid spoke of his mother, the atmosphere was silent, and Avon and Sirius exchanged their eyes in uneasiness.

"Hag, are you going to find her?" Aiwen hesitated and continued. "This is a good opportunity to meet your mother. You should haven't seen her for a long time?"

"I don't want to see her, it has nothing to do with our mission." Hagrid muttered, shrugged his shoulders wide. "I don't remember her very much. She is not a good mother. When I was young, she was Just abandon me and my father left alone."

"But you and her are blood related after all."

"What about that, she is a giant, I have vowed not to see her again!" Hagrid said, raising the voice.

"You are lying, Ruber!" Mrs. Maxim walked in with a tea tray and just heard this. She looked at Hagrid seriously. "You really want to see your mother. We can see it. You care about her."

"But she doesn't care about me, she doesn't care about my father. She probably has forgotten us for a long time!" Hagrid said sadly, "Olim, they are different from your parents. They were not free to love each other, my father. At first, she was not willing to be with her, she was forced by her, and there was only hatred between them."

Hagrid's voice is getting lower and lower, and the black eyes are covered with a mist.

"Yeah, he might like her later, and wants to go out and look for her, but he doesn't know where the giants have gone. My father always remembered her name before she died." Hagrid said, tears came out. "He has been obsessed with her until he died."

"Since this is the case, you should go to her more!" Mrs. Maxim came over and handed the tea tray full of drinks to Sirius, whispering, "Give him to me, the carriage to the third, remember to shout We, we live there tonight."

She finished, holding Hagrid back to the room, ready to comfort him.

Ai Wen and Sirius continued to discuss the giant for a while, and the topic was transferred to Ravenclaw’s crown and whirlpool.

As time passed, the sky gradually dimmed and the carriage had arrived over Dijon.

Dijon is a small city in eastern France that has been the capital of the Burgundy region since the Middle Ages.

From the perspective of Muggles, this historic town has many well-preserved ancient buildings with high artistic value.

In addition, it is also the best wine in the world.

In the magic world, this small town is also very famous.

Known as the City of Owls, it has a special magical building, the Owl Fortress, a huge military fortress near the valley outside the city.

The fortress was historically the Duke of Burgundy and is said to be one of his main palaces.

It is famous because it is home to countless owl ghosts.

No one knows what the black wizards who used to live there have done, and why there are so many owl ghosts.

The International Wizarding Federation has conducted a survey of this huge black fort once more than once, but nothing has been found.

The wizards walked into the castle and saw only the ghosts of countless owls staring at you in the castle. That feeling can definitely drive people crazy.

Ivan had read the description of the Owl Fortress in the book before. It was described as an evil and colorless place. This huge castle is made of black granite and is engraved with all kinds of quirky Owl statue.

The structure of the whole castle is very weird, there is no window, and you only want to go through the strong door below.

The most bizarre is the ubiquitous owl ghost in the castle, which stands quietly throughout the castle.

It is well known that only wizards can become ghosts after death, retaining the memories and habits before them.

Few animals become ghosts, especially when they appear so much in one place at a time.

According to the final findings of the International Wizarding Federation, the souls of these owls are not purely ghosts. They are imprisoned here by a special black magic and cannot leave the castle. Most wizards believe that this strange black magic is from Africa. The witchcraft in the area is either a curse.

And this evil black magic may not be completed, it has problems during the casting process, causing the soul of thousands of owls as sacrifices to remain in the castle forever.

In any case, this huge fortress was abandoned outside the city, and no one would approach or enter it.

Like Hogmund's screaming shack, the local wizard is very scared of the Owl Fortress.

The outside of it was cast a Muggle deportation spell, and no Muggle would be near the nearby area.

If there is no task in the simple journey, Ai Wen thinks about the fortress and looks at why there are so many ghosts of owls suddenly appearing, but now it is not good, he is best not to take the initiative to trouble.

The carriage slowly descended, and Mrs. Hagrid and Maxim came out of the room. He looked much better now.

Hagrid’s hand still holds a picture of the one he had previously seen for Ai Wen.

There was a short wizard above the photo. His eyes were the same as that of Hagrid. They were black and sewed together. He sat on Hagrid's shoulder and smiled very happily. Referring to an apple tree next to it, Hagrid is seven or eight feet tall, but his face is young, full, smooth, without a beard, and looks up to eleven.

The short wizard on the photo is Hagrid's father, this is the only photo he left.

Hagrid's father was a breeder during his lifetime and worked for the Department of Magic Protection of the Magical Biology Division, where he was responsible for taking care of dangerous magical creatures.

The main reason why Hagrid likes those monsters may be inherited from his father.

"How are you, Hagrid?" asked Ai Wen.

"I'm fine!" Hagrid waved his hand, some embarrassed. "I just thought of my mother, some are too excited. It is really amazing to say that Orim, I never thought about it, she would be so understanding." I persuaded me, I have never seen a woman like her."

The carriage fell to the ground, and under the influence of magic, the huge deity horse has been turned into an ordinary horse.

In the small city of Dijon, the customs of the past were still maintained. The Muggles did not feel too surprised by the sudden appearance of the carriage.

After more than ten minutes, under the control of Mrs. Maxim, they stopped in front of a tavern called "Burgundy".

It is a tavern opened by the wizard like the Kettle Bar. She obviously came here before.
