"Thanks for the power stones. Here's another chapter for you. Remember to leave more stones."
ODAHVIING
"This is getting more and more difficult," said Dumbledore as he listened to what the painting had informed him. "It seems Harry knows more than he should.
A headache was beginning to form, so he quickly grabbed one of the treats on his desk and tossed it into his mouth.
"Soon, the other two schools will arrive. I'll see if I can arrange something to distract the boy a bit," Dumbledore added as a new plan began to form in his mind. "You may return."
The painting quickly saluted and left to return to its place.
"It's very likely that boy noticed," Phineas commented in a serious tone.
"It's one hundred percent certain he noticed," Dumbledore replied as he stood up and headed towards his room behind the office.
The former headmasters who were against Dumbledore frowned but decided to remain silent.
...….
"Hagrid, I brought those drinks I told you about," said Einar as he entered Hagrid's house with a smile.
"Oh, Einar, what has you so cheerful?" asked Hagrid with a welcoming smile.
"Nothing. It's just that now I can train the students almost three times faster," said Einar with a cheerful smile.
After the idea he got thanks to Hermione, he quickly put it to the test by training himself throughout the night. He discovered that the potions could only numb the muscles to avoid feeling pain, but even so, they were still damaging the muscles, so if he overdid it, they could all end up crippled. But he had a rather simple solution:
Healing potions. Basically, he mixed some ingredients with healing effects that he asked Dren to deliver, while he himself consumed the ingredients of the muscle pain potion to feel their effects one by one. As a result, he created a hybrid potion.
It lost the effect of healing the entire body as a regular healing potion should, but now it could heal the muscles directly while also reducing their pain.
The only problem was that after the third potion, whoever used it would feel a little drunk, but only for a couple of minutes.
In fact, Einar was now quite drunk because he used ten potions to test their performance during his training. And aside from the drunkenness, there was no problem. It was as if Einar had trained for about ten days in just one night, so he was now very happy.
"Hahaha, that's good!" said Hagrid as he set the table and filled it with snacks to drink with Einar.
Einar quickly placed a large green glass bottle on the table with a smile.
"This is Colovian brandy. It has a long history, but basically, I infiltrated an embassy of another race to get it," said Einar with a smile as he uncorked the bottle and poured a glass for Hagrid and one for himself.
Hagrid quickly took a sip of the liquor.
"This tastes great," he said with a big smile as he placed his glass on the table.
As Einar also smiled cheerfully, he heard a sound coming from a box not far away.
"What's that?" he asked with interest.
"Those are some lovely fellows I brought to show the students," said Hagrid as he approached the box and opened it. "They're called explosive-tailed Nifflers. Aren't they cute?" he said as he looked at the creatures in the box with a kind, affectionate smile.
"They're like the opposite version of Chaurus," Einar said with a conflicted smile.
As they both drank, they continued talking and became friends easily.
"You know, you're very much like the giants from my country. They peacefully take care of their mammoths, but if you mess with them or their mammoths, you're sure to end up meeting the clouds in person," Einar said with a smile.
"Peaceful giants? I'd like to see that," Hagrid said, smiling. "The giants around here are quite violent folks who enjoy wars. But not all of them, some just need understanding," Hagrid quickly added.
"By the way, for someone so small, you have strength comparable to a giant," Hagrid said, changing the subject.
"Well, for fighting dragons with my bare hands, you could say that," Einar said proudly as he laughed.
"Dragons? I think they're a misunderstood race. I'll tell you a secret, but once I hatched one and kept it with me for a few days. But then they had to take it away because it's illegal to have one," said Hagrid, recalling his farewell with sadness.
"Really? Actually, one of my masters is a legendary dragon who lives at the top of the mountain," said Einar with a smile.
"Legendary dragon? Your master?" Hagrid quickly became surprised, but then he looked confused and asked, "What's a legendary dragon?"
"Want to see one?" Einar asked with a smile.
"Of course I do!" Hagrid said immediately with joy.
"First, we'll need to bring something as a gift," Einar quickly added.
....
"Here we are, quite far from Hogwarts. No one will notice if a dragon shows up," said Hagrid as he placed something wrapped on the ground, looking at Einar with excitement.
Einar smiled and took off his mask while looking at the sky.
"OD AH VIING!" Einar shouted, causing the creatures around them to start running in fear.
After a few seconds, Hagrid spoke.
"With that powerful shout of yours, will the dragon come?"
"Yes, it might take a little while."
Then, the roar of a dragon was heard in the sky as it headed in their direction.
Quickly, both of them saw a massive dragon above their heads slowly descending to the ground.
"How can I serve you, ZU'U?" said the great dragon while looking at Einar with respect.
"ODAHVIING, my friend! It's been a long time," Einar said with a smile.
"Kovah Dovakhiin. Not so long, Dovakhiin," replied the dragon calmly. After all, he was a dragon who had lived since the beginning, just like Paarthurnax.
"This is my friend Hagrid. He brought you a gift," Einar quickly said while Hagrid looked at ODAHVIING with excitement. Einar had to give him a nudge to make him react.
"Oh, yes, sorry," Hagrid said as he opened the blanket covering the gift for the great dragon.
It contained a large amount of meat from different types of animals and also a barrel of the finest quality brandy.
"A giant. You look different," the dragon quickly said, looking at Hagrid. But then his gaze shifted to the meat and the drink. "Zu'u loshi wahlaan koraan. Your gift pleases me, giant," said ODAHVIING as he devoured the food in a single bite, along with the barrel of brandy.
Einar cheerfully took out several barrels of mead and various other alcoholic drinks as they shared them with his two friends.
After several hours, the three of them had become good friends while they continued drinking and singing drunken songs. Meanwhile, the forest animals trembled, hiding in their caves and homes due to the presence of the mighty dragon.
After celebrating for so long during the night, Hagrid and Einar had to return, so they bid farewell to ODAHVIING and walked drunkenly towards Hogwarts.
"I heard you were unjustly expelled by that idiot... what was his name? Volador?" Einar said, speaking like a drunkard.
"Don't say his name," said Hagrid fearfully, but then he realized Einar didn't even say it right and let it go. "So much time has passed that it doesn't matter anymore," Hagrid said calmly.
"You're very peaceful. If it were me, I would've ripped his head off and fed it to one of the animals in the forest. And if anyone complained, I'd rip their heads off too," said Einar as he patted Hagrid's back angrily.
"I wouldn't do that," Hagrid quickly replied.
"Come on, you're a giant. You need to unleash your violent side and punch someone to the moon," Einar said as they neared Hagrid's house.
Einar quickly took some distance while Hagrid looked at him, confused.
"Come on. Show me your giant's rage. Fight me," Einar said as he took off his shirt with a smile full of excitement for the battle.
"No. I don't like fighting," Hagrid quickly said, refusing.
"Come on, where I come from, fighting is how friends are made," Einar quickly said. "Come on, you won't even hurt me a little. I even fought ODAHVIING before he became my friend," he said proudly, trying to motivate Hagrid.
"No," Hagrid kept refusing.
"Then I'll use a little help," Einar said as he quickly cast a spell on Hagrid.
For some reason, Hagrid began to feel anger, a primal rage that surged from deep within him.
"What did you do to me?" he quickly asked.
"A simple fury spell," Einar said with a smile.
That smile, hidden beneath his mask but still somehow felt, made Hagrid furious with him.
"Ahhh!" He quickly lunged at Einar while shouting in rage.
