Hogwarts card wizard

Chapter 541 The Memorial Service

Slughorn quickly collected the leaves he needed, and then he remembered Kevin's purpose and asked, "Are you here to find me, Kevin."

Kevin said, "Oh no! I just happened to pass by here, Professor. I'm going to Hagner."

Slughorn originally planned to end this coincidence and go back to "study" these leaves, but subconsciously asked a question.

"Hagrid? What's the matter with him?"

Kevin said directly: "How should I say it? His spider friend passed away, very sad. I'll go and have a look."

Slughorn was taken aback, and asked hastily, "Spider friend? You mean the acromantula raised by Hagrid? I remember it ran away back then, didn't it?"

The running away that Slughorn said was the thing about Tom Riddle framing Hagrid back then.Although Hagrid was "tentatively designated" as the heir at that time, Aragog, the "monster in the chamber of secrets", ran away.After that, Hagrid let him live in the Forbidden Forest. In the second grade, Kevin and the others cracked the secret of the Chamber of Secrets. Naturally, Hagrid and Aragog got revenge.

Hagrid didn't tell anyone else about Aragog, mainly because no one asked about it.So the only ones who know that Aragog is in the Forbidden Forest are Dumbledore and Kevin who have seen Aragog.

Slughorn knew that Hagrid once had an acromantula, but he didn't know it was still at Hogwarts, so he was very surprised when Kevin said it.

Kevin didn't explain anything to him, and said directly: "That's right! It's getting late, Professor! I think I have to pass."

After speaking, he turned around and walked out the door, the corner of his mouth slightly raised when he turned around.

"Wait a minute, Kevin!" Slughorn called Kevin hastily.

Kevin smiled and straightened his expression instantly, turned around and asked, "What's wrong? Professor."

Slughorn thought for a moment, and said seriously: "It's getting late, and it's almost time for curfew. I can't let you wander around alone."

Kevin smiled and said, "Then why don't you go with me?"

"Yes! Why didn't I think of it? This is definitely a good idea." Slughorn said "suddenly realized".

The reason why Slughorn was so eager to walk with Kevin was naturally not for Hagrid.What he really cares about is Aragog, or Aragog's venom to be precise.

The venom of the giant acromantia is a very rare material. The reason for the rarity is not that the "yield" is low, but that it is difficult to obtain.

It is rare to see acromanders living to Aragog's age, but acromanders are not.Not only are they not rare, but if you are willing to find them in the woods or valleys, they are very easy to find.

However, giant arachnids usually appear in the form of "families". Although they are not designated as intelligent creatures, older giant spiders have the ability to think, and Aragog can even speak human words.

Coupled with the way of life in groups and huge lethality, no matter how rare the venom of the acromantula is, there are extremely few people who dare to go there and ask for a cup of venom.

Although wealth and honor are sought in insurance, the degree of this risk is obviously higher than that of wealth.

Slughorn knew about Aragog, and of course he knew how rare the venom of an acromander alive today was.Right now is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to obtain venom, and with his character, he will naturally not miss it.

At the same time, Kevin can also be sure that Felicia can indeed bring luck.

Before that, he thought about using Slughorn's weakness of collecting to carry out a "strategy", but he never had a chance to implement it.

Just when Kevin had given up, Kevin took a sip of Felicia. Coincidentally, Aragog died. What's more, he didn't go out but dated Luna in the courtyard, otherwise even if Ginny told him about it I'm afraid it will be night too.

In this way, it is naturally impossible to meet Slughorn by chance, let alone go with him.

If there is a deviation in the process, it is impossible for him to walk with Slughorn, but the feeling of God's guidance after drinking the Felicity Elixir turns all kinds of coincidences into inevitability!

The appearance of such a result, Kevin had to look at Felicia with admiration, and the fruit of the lucky medicine lived up to its reputation.

……

Here, when Kevin and Slughorn came to Hagrid's cabin, Hagrid had already carried Aragog's body down the hillside, where Hagrid had prepared a grave for his old friend.

Hagrid was very relieved when he saw Kevin coming, and he said gratefully: "Thank you, Kevin. Thank you for coming, in fact, I didn't intend to inform you, because I know that Aragog has done too much to you. thing."

Hagrid burst into tears as he spoke.

Kevin comforted: "It's okay, we don't mind, and Aragog did help us at that time. But you shouldn't hide it from us, Hagrid. Because we don't know about Aragog, Harry and the others all I went out and couldn't come."

To Kevin or anyone else, Aragog is just an acromantula, a monster.

But for Hagrid, this was his friend, an old friend who had been with him for decades, and Aragog's death was a huge blow to Hagrid.

But just when Hagrid was immersed in sadness, an extremely dissonant voice came.

"Ah! God! This is the first time I've seen such a huge acromantula." Slughorn said in surprise, almost bursting into laughter.

Kevin looked at him speechlessly, and reminded softly: "Ahem! Professor, it is Hagrid's friend, and... is dead."

"Ah! Sorry!" Slughorn realized that his emotion was inappropriate, and said hastily: "Please forgive me for my rudeness, Hagrid. My condolences!"

Hagrid said: "Thank you, Professor! It's okay, I understand your thoughts. In fact, I have been thinking about letting everyone know about Aragog since Kevin and the others cleared us up. Introduce it to everyone."

Kevin was taken aback and looked at Hagrid in disbelief.

Introduce Aragog to everyone?Thinking about the scene where he waited for someone to see Aragog, Kevin couldn't help but ask, is this a class or a meal!

Hagrid looked at Aragog's body, and said sadly: "Actually, the spider is not as scary as everyone thinks, but the eyes are a bit scary. Look, its cute and furry body... Woohoo, it's a pity I won't see it again .”

"..."

Kevin and Slughorn both looked at Hagrid in astonishment.

spider?hairy?cute?

Is there a connection between the three?

At this time, Slughorn walked up to Hagrid and said solemnly: "Sorry, Hagrid. I don't want to be disrespectful to your partner, but the venom of the acromantula is extremely rare...you...can you Shall I take a tube or two? Don't worry, I'm purely for academic research."

Kevin felt that without the latter sentence, he would still be willing to believe Slughorn's words.

Hagrid said sadly, "He can't use it anyway, can he?"

Slughorn said immediately, "Yes, I thought so too. Then I'll be abrupt."

As he spoke, he walked quickly to Aragog's body, and took out an ampoule specially used to hold the liquid medicine from his arms.

Looking at this posture, Kevin always felt that Slughorn had planned for a long time.

However, although Slughorn saw the benefits, he did not forget his righteousness. After getting the venom he wanted, he came to Hagrid and said, "Hagrid, please allow me to say a few words of eulogy."

"Okay!" said Hagrid, weeping.

"Does it have any family?" said Slughorn.

Kevin said: "There is more than that. If its family members come to the memorial service, this mountain probably won't be enough."

"Um! Alright!" Slughorn straightened his clothes, coughed lightly, and said, "Farewell..."

Slughorn paused suddenly, obviously not remembering the name.This was normal, he couldn't even remember Ron's name, how could he remember the name of a spider.
