Chapter 106: Hagrid's Past

The next morning, during recess, Harry told Ryan that they had gone to look for Dobby again last night. He still says he wants to save him, but he doesn't say why he should be saved.

It seemed that the hapless Harry was going to spend time with Dobby, and Ryan made a helpless face.

After class at noon, Ryan carried his father's newly sent book to the edge of the Forbidden Forest. Wolf was already waiting for him there, and in addition to the book from the last time, Wolf had a tightly sealed box made of wood in his bag.

"What is this?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Thank you for the book, this is a wild mandrake that I have collected, which has matured. Now as a gift to you. This box was made by Betty and can live in a sleeping state for a year as long as the mandrake is not opened. Wolf's wolf had a pure smile on his face.

Looking at this smile, Ryan knew that he couldn't refuse his kindness. But such a gift is too precious, and if he takes it directly, he will have a disturbed conscience.

So Ryan felt in the pocket he was carrying, pulled out a finger-sized pendant and handed it to Wolf. This pendant was made by Ryan when he practiced the Maoshan Daojing a while ago.

"What is this? I can feel the power of magic?" asked Wolfe, after taking the pendant from Ryan with his paws.

"This is a gift for you, thank you for helping me deliver things to Betty lately. "Before, the material exchange between Ryan and Betty was transmitted through Wolf, after all, Ryan's level is not able to transmit physical objects through the Emerald Dream Realm now.

Wolf had a look of approval on his face, and Ryan saw it and continued, "This is a talisman I made from the fangs and venom of the eight-eyed giant spider, which can form a stream of green smoke that most magic cannot detect within ten meters of you, and the smoke can be used three times a day for one minute at a time. ”

"Sounds useful, good for life, thank you. I'll go back and ask the centaur to make me a chain and hang this around my neck. After thanking Ryan, Wolf walked back to the Forbidden Forest with his new book and amulet on his back.

After saying goodbye to Wolf, Ryan was walking back. Harry and Ron were suddenly found standing in the doorway of Hagrid's hut.

"What are you doing here?" Ryan asked them curiously.

"We heard from our senior classmates that crying has been coming from the hut for the past two days. We were a little worried about Hagrid, so we took a look. Harry replied.

What could a 60-year-old man like Hagrid cry for days? Ryan was a little curious. So he said to Harry, "Let me see him too, for he is a good man." ”

Harry walked up the steps and knocked on the door a few times, and the door opened, and Hagrid stood inside with red eyes and a little bit of wine, "What are you little guys doing here?"

"I heard that you have been feeling uncomfortable for the past two days, so I came to see you. Harry said.

"Alright, come in, I think you can come in and have a cup of tea. With that, Hagrid invited the three into the house. There was a half-drunk bottle of Agni whiskey on the table, and after he received the whiskey in the cupboard, he brought out a plate of snacks and a pot of black tea from the fireplace.

"What the hell is going on? Maybe we can help you. Ryan asked, taking Hagrid's tea.

Listening to Ryan's question, Hagrid seemed to be touched to tears, and tears flowed again. "My Aragog is dead. ”

Ryan froze for a moment after hearing this, but fortunately no one noticed. Then Harry asked, "Aragog, who is that, why haven't I heard you say that?"

"He's an eight-eyed spider, but I never told you about his existence because I didn't want anyone to know about him. ”

"You don't want us to know that he exists, why?" Ryan asked curiously.

"Because the eight-eyed giant spider is a creature native to Southeast Asia, its favorite food is people. I can speak, but I can't communicate. Always considered a dangerous creature of the dark arts. Ron said from the side.

"How do you know so clearly?" Harry asked, looking back at Ron.

"I hate spiders, so I remember these magical creatures related to spiders. Luo said with an ugly face.

"What happened then?" Ryan asked curiously. Because Betty had disposed of all the eight-eyed spider corpses, how did Hagrid know that Aragog was dead?

"I go to see Aragog every once in a while, but when I went to see yesterday, there wasn't a single giant spider there. Finally I found traces of fire in the cave where they laid their eggs, and this, half of Aragog's head. It is likely that a wizard killed him. Hagrid wiped away his tears and pointed to a piece of charcoal on the fireplace.

Ron quietly moved back, while Ryan and Harry leaned in to look at it for a long time, only to realize that it was indeed half an insect's head, but it was charred. Ryan thought to himself that this might be because part of the explosion was not discovered by Betty and the others, so he stayed at the scene.

"Why do you want to keep such a dangerous species?" Ron asked Hagrid as Ryan and Harry looked at the piece of coke.

"No, he's not dangerous. I even found him a wife and let them thrive in the Forbidden Forest. When I brought him to Hogwarts, he was the size of a teacup, so he wasn't dangerous. Later, someone falsely accused him of having something to do with the death of a girl, and I had to let him escape to the Forbidden Forest, and because of this I was expelled from school, thanks to Dumbledore's help, I was able to stay in school. Probably because of some alcohol, Hagrid gushed about his past under the influence of alcohol.

"Is that dead girl the weeping myrtle?" Ryan asked suddenly.

"How do you know?" Hagrid asked, surprised.

"Because I was at Nick's Death Party, and there was only one ghost there wearing a Hogwarts uniform. I was curious and asked her a lot of things. ”

"I didn't kill her, I really didn't. Hagrid looked a little excited and waved his hand. Harry and Ron are also on the sidelines to prove that Hagrid is a good guy and doesn't go out to kill.

"I didn't say Hagrid was the murderer. Ryan couldn't laugh or cry. Myrtle said she was seen by a pair of big yellow eyes and died. The eight-eyed giant spider is highly venomous and good at attacking, but it is certainly impossible to see a dead person with his eyes, let alone the eight-eyed giant spider has four large eyes, and Myrtle only sees two eyes. ”

"So. Ryan turned to Hagrid, "I think you didn't let people know about his existence because you were protecting Aragog, and the lack of evidence has led to you being wronged for decades." Now that Aragog is gone, you can tell Professor Dumbledore about it, and let him clear your name. That way, at least you'll be able to use magic openly in the future. ”
