Changing the odds
Our tale starts just outside the boundaries of Hogwarts at the outbreak of the Battle of Hogwarts. Rubeus and his girlfriend Olympe are giving their giant allies a quick speech before they charge into battle.
Rubeus shouted, "Quiet down, please!"
A hush fell over the gathered giants.
Olympe smiled. "Zank you all for agreeing to fight by our side in zis battle."
Rubeus said, "When we set out on our mission which ma dear friend Dumbledore gave us, teh tell yeh the truth, I didn' think that we would make it back alive. We have an we even managed teh accomplish our goal. I'd like to say rest in peace teh ma old friend Albus Dumbledore who was taken before his time. I'm glad tha' he chose Ol an I fer this task."
The giants cheered.
Olympe beamed, "I'm glad zat I found you in ze process, my 'airy friend."
Rubeus grinned. "I'm glad too." He turned towards the giants and asked, "Who's ready teh kill some Death Eaters?"
