Chapter 74
Suddenly, Clark saw a two-legged creature that had white skin and was holding a bow in his hand, and started hobbling towards it. Its could be his brains he'd give Lois. That would surely win her heart.
"BRAAIAAIANS," he said resolutely and hobbledy hobblety hobbled on.
But fate had other plans! Winning his sweetheart's heart wasn't going to be that easy! Looking across the clearing, he saw his arch-nemesis Bruce the flesh-eating zombie coming towards the clearing from the jungle with his own set of brains. Surely he wouldn't dare! Surely he wouldn't try to steal the creature's brains and spoil Clark's love life. Surely not!
"ARRRGGHHHHH!" Clark yelled at Bruce and started hobbling faster
"ARRGGGGHHHHGURGLE" Bruce gloated. He was almost right behind him and getting ready to trip Clark up.
"AAAA-" They both promptly shut up as a pair of arrows aimed at the opposite side of the clearing somehow missed their mark by 15 meters and pierced them right through their hearts and pinned them straight into the trees behind them before turning them both into dust.
And thus ended the lives of Clark and Bruce.
Harry frowned at the last two dead screaming zombies and quickly picked up all the loot and broke out of the ID with an "ID Escape!" before a Legion zombie could form.

He then mentally commanded the bow to turn into a ring. The bow liquefied and flowed into the shape of a plain gold band, which he put on his finger. Then he called for Hedwig, who flamed them both back to the Ravenclaw tower, and that was that for Sunday.
After learning about the theory of Avifors spell; which changed the target of the spell into a bird; on Monday in Transfiguration and brewing a Boil-Cure potion in Potions on Tuesday morning, Harry set off early on Tuesday afternoon to talk to Rubeus Hagrid.
The Gamekeeper's wooden hut's chimney spewed smoke, indicating that the caretaker must have started preparing for the tea. A crossbow and a pair of galoshes were outside the front door, leaning on the wall. When Harry knocked on the door he heard a frantic scrabbling and scratching from inside and several booming barks. There was a dog inside. Harry grew a bit weary, Marge's dogs were always bad news.
Then a deep booming voice, Rubeus Hagrid's voice, rang out saying, "Back, Fang back!"
The caretaker's big, bearded face appeared in the crack as he pulled the door open. Harry took a moment to acknowledge the contrast in both of their statures.
"Hang on," the half-giant said. "Back, Fang."
Harry cast observe.

Rubeus Hagrid, who prefers to be called Hagrid is a half-giant wizard and son of Mr Hagrid and the giantess Fridwulfa. Hagrid attended Hogwarts in 1940 and was sorted into Gryffindor but his wand was snapped and he was expelled later on. He was trained to be the gamekeeper of Hogwarts and allowed to live on the school grounds at the request of Albus Dumbledore.
He likes Harry because he remembers him as a 'wee lad'. He really wants to get to know him.
'Nothing bad then. That's a relief,' Harry thought.
"Ah! There yeh are Harry!" he exclaimed and let him in, struggling to keep a hold on the collar of an enormous black boarhound.
There was only one room inside. Hams and pheasants were hanging from the ceiling, a copper kettle was boiling on the open fire, and in the corner stood a massive bed with a patchwork quilt over it.
Harry looked up into the fierce, wild, shadowy face of the groundskeeper and noticed that his beetle eyes were crinkled in a smile. "I haven't introduced meself 'ave I?. Rubeus Hagrid, Keeper of Keys and Grounds at Hogwarts. Now don't go callin' me Mister and all tha'. Just Hagrid." He said.
"Will do Hagrid," Harry returned the smile. The half giant was much gentler than his stature indicated.
"Las' time I saw you, you was only a baby," said Hagrid, fidgeting nervously, "Yeh know, yeh look a lot like yer dad, but yeh've got yet mum's eyes."
Harry's smile grew at that.
"Make yerself at home," said Hagrid, going over to bring the tea and letting go of Fang, who bounded straight at Harry and started licking his shoes. Like Hagrid, Fang was clearly not as fierce as he looked. Harry petted his head.
"You knew my parents Hagrid?" Harry asked Hagrid, who was pouring boiling water into a large teapot and putting rock cakes onto a plate.
