Chapter 1526: The Wine Curse and the Renewal Spell
This time, Elaine directly tilted the glass of milk mixed with wine to her head, she shook her head slightly, and reached for the wine bottle on the table.
Evan stopped her, touched her with his foot under the table, and told her that she couldn't drink anymore!
Elaine looked up at Aven, her fair face with a rare hint of redness, and her burgundy pupils seemed to be deeper, glinting in the candlelight.
The two made a brief eye contact, and Evan was defeated, and gave her a little more, silently telling Elaine not to make trouble.
Also, don't get too far into it, she's still a kid and can't drink!
As Evan and Elaine exchanged silence, Slughorn's gaze was removed from the unicorn fur in Hagrid's hand.
He began to scour carefully through the hut, looking for more treasures that could be exchanged for a lot of oak-aged mead, pineapple preserves, and velvet smoking shirts. Slughorn then filled Hagrid and his own cup again, and asked how Hagrid could take care of so many animals.
Hagrid, cheerful under the influence of the alcohol and Slughorn's flattery, stopped wiping his eyes, and began to talk about the cultivation of the Tree Guard Cauldron with great interest.
At this moment, the elixir nudged Harry slightly.
He noticed that the liquor Slughorn had brought was running out soon, and he wasn't going to cast the Renewal Spell silently, but the thought that he couldn't do it tonight was ridiculous.
Harry pointed his wand at the empty cup in the belly of the table, and the cup was immediately full.
Unbeknownst to Hagrid and Slughorn, they were now exchanging stories about the illegal trade in dinosaur eggs, and Evan saw it, and he gestured for him to come.
No sound, not even a wand, for Evan to cast the Wine Charm and the Renewal Charm,
I saw that Slughorn's cup was full and empty, and soon it was full again.
That way, he doesn't have time to worry about Elaine, but as long as he takes care of the bottle, he should be fine......
The conversation continued, and the atmosphere grew hotter.
Before they knew it, Evan and Harry had drunk a lot, and Elaine had secretly drunk a lot, but it didn't matter.
Even the three of them, let alone Hagrid and Slughorn.
After about an hour, the two of them began toasting indulgently: for Aragog, for Hogwarts, for Dumbledore, for the elves, for ......
"For Harry Potter!" Hagrid roared, and drank the fourteenth barrel of wine, and his chin drooled, and he didn't realize it, and took the initiative to fill his large glass.
"yes!" Slughorn exclaimed, somewhat inarticulately, "for Bally Water, Savior, well, that's pretty much it." ā
He muttered, and drank it down.
"Next drink, for Evan Mason!"
"To ask the god of beauty!" Slughorn drank again.
Who is the god of beauty?, Evan silently recited a spell to fill his glass.
Slughorn looked drunk, but wasn't that drunk.
He remembered his purpose, and it wasn't long before Hagrid tearfully shoved the entire unicorn's tail into Slughorn's hand.
He slipped them into his coat pocket and shouted, "For friendship! For generosity!
For the next moment, Hagrid and Slughorn sat side by side, put their arms around each other, and sang a soothing song about a dying wizard, Odo.
"Ah, good people don't live long!" Hagrid muttered as he leaned on the table, he was a little eye-catching, he was nearing his limit, and he was still singing in a trembling voice, "My dad is gone so young, and so are your mom and dad, Harry......"
Huge tears welled up from the corners of Hagrid's wrinkled eyes, and he grabbed Harry's arm and shook it, "The best pair I've ever seen of a wizard of their age...... Terrible, terrible ......"
Beside him, Slughorn sang sadly, "How sad, how sad, how sad it is that the hero Otto has been carried back to his hometown, to the place where he was familiar from his childhood, and his hat has been turned over and buried in the earth, and his wand has been broken in two. ā
"Well, horrible, horrible!" Hagrid snorted, his unkempt head rolled into the crook of his arm and snored lowly.
"I'm sorry!" Slughorn hiccuped, "I've never been able to sing the right tune. ā
"Hagrid doesn't mean you sing, Professor. ā
"He's talking about the death of my mom and dad. Harry whispered.
"Oh!" Slughorn said, holding back a big hiccup, with a blank expression, "Oh, yes, that's terrible, terrible, terrible......"
He didn't seem to know what to say, and went to fill the glass with wine.
Evan didn't interject either, as Harry seemed to have a word in mind.
"I suppose you don't remember that, Harry?" asked Slughorn awkwardly.
"I don't remember, I was a year old when they died. Harry said, staring at the candle flame flickering in Hagrid's heavy snoring, "But I learned a lot about it, and from other people, I heard that my dad died first, Professor, you know what?"
"IāI don't know. Slughorn said in a faint voice.
"It was Voldemort who killed him, and then walked over his corpse towards my mother. Harry continued to say sadly.
Hearing this, Slughorn shuddered violently, and his gaze gradually became frightened.
He tried to turn his head, but it was as if a magic was affecting him, unable to take the terrified gaze off Harry's face.
"He told my mom to go away. Harry said ruthlessly, "Voldemort told me she could have been immortal, he just wanted to kill me, she could have escaped." ā
"Oh my God!" Slughorn whispered, "she could have ...... She doesn't have to...... It's horrible, it's horrible!"
"yes!" Harry approached Slughorn, his voice almost whispering, "but she didn't move, she stopped in front of Voldemort's wand, Daddy was dead, she didn't want me to die too, she protected me, she tried to intercede with Voldemort, but he just laughed and didn't hesitate to kill ......"
"That's enough!" Slughorn cried suddenly, raising his trembling hand, and the tail of the unicorn in his bosom fell out, completely undecided, "Really, that's enough, dear child, that's enough, don't say any more, I'm just an old man, I don't need to listen, I don't want to listen......"
"You like my mother, don't you?" Fortune Elixir guided Harry to him what to say, "As you said before, she's your favorite student. ā
"Harry!" Slughorn said, tears welling up in his eyes, "I can't imagine anyone who has ever met her who doesn't like her, she's very brave, she's very lively, she's very smart, she's been my favorite student." Ah, the most terrible thing......"
"Yes, you like her so much, but you won't help her son. She gave me her life, but you refused to give me even a memory. ā
Hagrid's thunderous snoring filled the cabin, and Evan looked intently at Harry and Slughorn.
Next to her, Elaine sat quietly in her chair, while Ha stared firmly into Slughorn's teary eyes as if unable to take her eyes off it.
"Don't say that, Harry, don't say that, please, don't say that again!" he whispered, tears streaming down his eyes, "If I can help you, of course it's not a problem, it's not a problem at all, but it's useless......
"It works!" Harry said clearly, "Dumbledore needs to understand, I need to understand, this is the greatest help we have, we need that memory." ā
"That memory is important, Professor. Evan whispered, he thought Harry was a bit bold, was it really okay to talk to Slughorn like that?
But Harry knew he was safe, and the elixir told him that Slughorn would remember nothing tomorrow morning......
