Looking at ngrams: angried it seems to have been most popular in the early 1800's and largely non-existent in the last century.

Looking at results for those years when it was slightly more popular, we find usages such as

and this gives me the impression that "angried" is an old and rare alternative spelling of "angered". Use it at your own perilSee also angered vs angried.

Note that the quote you provided is in italics and uttered by a child in a novel which points to it not necessarily reflecting standard usage. See the full quote, also listed below in my edit.

Conclusion: use it at your own peril.

Looking at results for those years we find usages such as
