Chapter 138

Quinlan had a new job, working as a dedicated farmer in the new vegetable patch near Hagrid's hut. Drawing on his formidable giant heritage, Grawp had managed to secure the land-clearing job amidst fierce competition. There was no helping it, really—Quinlan's mastery of magic was simply too exceptional. Even though she lacked a physical advantage, she could use magic to effortlessly accomplish the simple physical labor of clearing land. Thanks to her greater farming proficiency, her land-clearing results were even better than Grawp's. In the end, however, considering that Quinlan could not hold a long-term position at Hogwarts, Grawp barely managed to secure the job on the strength of his longer tenure and lower wage.
