Chapter 439: After the Cabin
Dear Harry, Darren, Ron, Hermione: Aragog died last night, Darren, you've met him and know how special he is, Harry, Ron, Hermione, I know you'll like him too. If you can come to the funeral tonight, it means a lot to me. I plan to have a funeral at dusk, which is his favorite time of day. I know you can't come out so late, but you can use the Cloak of Invisibility. I didn't want to make that request, but I couldn't do it alone.
Hagrid
This was what Harry had written on the note, and Darren took it from him, and after reading it, handed it to Hermione.
"Oh God!" she quickly swept through it and handed it to Ron, finally not mentioning the giant squid, "He wants us to leave the castle at night, but the security measures are already a million times stricter, how much trouble it will be to be caught!"
"We've also seen him at night before. Harry said.
"We've been, but for this kind of thing?" said Hermione, "We've taken a lot of risks for Hagrid, but after all, Aragog is dead, if it's to save him."
"I don't want to go," Ron said firmly, "an eight-eyed spider," he shook his head with a frightened look on his face.
Darren looked at the note, the ink stains on the paper, there were obviously big tears falling on the parchment, he sighed, "I'll go, it just so happens that there is no class in the afternoon, Hagrid and Aragog have a deep relationship, if there is only one person, he will be sad,." ”
"But," Hermione was a little anxious at hearing Darren's words, "it's not worth it to be locked up for this, and"
"I'll be careful, there's an invisibility cloak. Darren reassured, but the other glare at him.
Harry sighed, and Hermione turned her head, "Hey, there's going to be no one in Potions class this afternoon, we're all going to test Harry, and you're going to find a way to soften Slughorn!"
"Do you think you'll be lucky for the fifty-seventh?" said Harry bitterly.
"Lucky," Ron said suddenly, "Harry, yes, lucky!"
"What did you say?"
"Use a lucky potion!"
"Ron, yes, yes!" Hermione seemed stunned, "Sure!
Harry glared at them, "Elixir, I don't know if I want to keep it."
"What are you keeping for?"
"Harry, is there anything more important than this memory?" Darren" Hermione didn't finish when Darren interrupted her, "Harry, what are you thinking?"
"Yes, of course," but Harry didn't notice, he paused for a moment before he came to his senses, "Well, if I can't get Slughorn to speak this afternoon, I'll try again with a little elixir in the evening." ”
"That's it," said Hermione, as she stood up, tiptoe in a graceful spin, and muttered the words, "Determined to take it easy"
"Oh, stop," Ron covered his head, "I'm dizzy enough, cover me!"
"It's not Ladd!" This time even Hermione got impatient, and another pair of girls appeared in the courtyard, and Ron hurriedly ducked behind Harry.
"Pretty," Ron said, glancing over Harry's shoulder, "Hey, they don't seem to be happy, do they?"
"They're sisters Montgomery, and of course they're not happy, haven't you heard about their little brothers?" said Hermione.
Ron looked at her blankly.
Their brother was bitten by a werewolf, supposedly because their mother refused to help the Death Eaters, and the boy was only five years old and died in St. Mungo's Hospital, and they couldn't save him. Darren said slowly, what he heard from Hermione, "It was that Fenrir Greyback who did it." ”
"Dead?" Harry asked in shock, "but werewolves don't kill people, don't they just turn you into a werewolf?"
"Sometimes kills," Ron's expression was grim, "I've heard that werewolves get out of control. ”
"Greyback," Harry said angrily, "that madman who likes to attack children!
Well, Dumbledore once asked Lupin to contact Greyback in an attempt to influence them!
"Harry, you have to get that memory, it's all to stop Voldemort, isn't it?
At this moment, the bell in the castle rang, and Hermione and Ron jumped up, it was time to take the illusion exam.
"Honey, you're okay, don't worry!" Darren said to Hermione, and suddenly, he realized that he had been talking about the giant squid, but because of Hagrid, I am afraid there is no way to do it
Because it was daytime, Darren went straight to Hagrid's hut, and of course, he didn't forget to bring his invisibility cloak, and he had to go back.
"You're here," Hagrid said hoarsely as he opened the door and saw Darren standing in front of it.
"yes, Ron and Hermione are going to take the illusion exam, Harry has Potions class, they can't be here right now, let me say sorry to you. ”
"No, it doesn't matter but he'll be touched when you come, Darren, after all, you've met" At this, Hagrid sobbed a little, and Darren saw that he had made himself a black sleeve and his eyes were red and swollen.
Darren patted Hagrid's arm and tried to comfort him, but he couldn't think of anything to say, but he soon began to tell him the story of Aragog, "He was only a little bit at that time, what a cute little furball, that paw left the castle, and he was too lonely to go to the Forbidden Forest, he was the only one, I helped him find Mosag, and had a child"
"Where is he buried?, in the woods?" asked Darren when Hagrid's mood had improved.
"Oh my God, no," Hagrid said, wiping his tears from the corner of his shirt, "and the other spiders won't let me near their webs as soon as Aragog dies, and it seems they didn't eat me because of his orders!"
Seeing Hagrid's appearance, Darren decided that he might as well keep quiet, and perhaps it would be better to talk to him about the rest of the eight-eyed spiders in a few days.
"There's never been a place in the woods where I couldn't go!" Hagrid shook his head, "It's not easy, get Aragog's body out." Let me tell you, they usually eat corpses, but I want to give him a decent funeral," he sobbed again.
"Look at me," Hagrid wiped away his tears and slammed to his feet, "I haven't let you go and see Aragog," he stood up, and led Darren out of the hut to the back of the cabin, where there lay a huge dead spider in the sky, with crooked legs, and although it was no longer active, Darren could recognize at a glance that it was Aragog, the first eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest.
