Chapter 1184
Patches of blue sky began to appear above the castle towers, and the bad weather in the morning seemed to be blown away by the wind blowing from the unknown place, and Van Lin had wondered countless times if this was a new round of cold snaps, in fact, Van Lin preferred the whiteness of winter to the sultry heat of summer.
However, Harry was able to see that summer was a big fan of the summer, which meant that Quidditch matches could go on as usual, and he didn't have to freeze like a dead dog on a broomstick.
Quidditch prohibits all magical items except magic broomsticks and Quidditch balls.
Naturally, the new generation of Joke Workshop Magic Defense Cloak made by Van Lin could not be put into actual combat status.
It's a sad thing, especially on a thunderstorm, Quidditch has a few days, after all, the Quidle is very difficult to catch, although it won't fly too far, but in fact, dynamic vision can catch a high-speed moving object that can only be seen in the palm of your hand, which is really a difficult thing to do, and at the same time, you have to accept harassment from your opponents.
Harry remembered the longest Quidditch match he remembered, which lasted about three days.
Hell knows how those guys managed to hold on, and it never lasted more than an afternoon with Harry in the game anyway.
However, it was clear that the bright afternoon was not going to give Harry much pleasure at the moment, and he was technically already struck down, both in trying to find Malfoy's plan and in a conversation with the professor about the memory that had been hidden for ten years.
After lunch, in a corner of the sunny courtyard, they sat with Ron. Both Hermione and Ron were trying to get interested in the Ministry's little flyer—common apparition errors and solutions—and even though they wouldn't be taking the test until later in the day, the manual didn't calm their anxiety.
......
"Remember, be focused, be clear about your destination, and if you can build a general idea in your mind, you've basically succeeded. Van Lin recounted slowly, making sure Ron could jot down every word.
"It's a shortcut, for this exam, but after that, you have to get up to speed as quickly as possible, otherwise it's easy to get dangerous. ”
"Dangerous, like you were back then?" said Ron, surprised.
"I'm just for special reasons. Van Lin rolled his eyes, a gift from a female nerve had improved his physique, at least, for magic, but it also made some of Van Lin's magic more difficult.
"Then Hermione, you're fine. Van Lin shook his head and motioned for the girl to relax, "Perhaps, you can try to enter the two-dimensional space and choose a place you like to stay, such as what about in my arms?"
"Hehe......" Hermione looked at Van Lin coldly, but that didn't affect a cheeky mood.
However, Harry on the side looked a little depressed, it was not only a failure of the plan, Harry could not go to the exam with them, which made Harry very uncomfortable.
"I'll tell you one last time, forget about Malfoy's plan!" Hermione told Harry firmly, Harry's sullen face annoyed Hermione, as if the two of them were going to fail.
"I was just thinking about Professor Slavhorn......" Harry argued weakly, he now regretted telling Hermione about meeting Tonks, even though it caused Harry to reap a lot of eyeballs......
(The four of them, usually this kind of treatment is only available to Ron, so to speak, Ron always has amazing words?)
However, Harry's argument was then interrupted by someone else, and a girl walked up from a distance, and then frightened Ron to hide behind Van Lin and Hermione, and Ron even bent down in order to hide perfectly......
Admittedly, the Weasleys still had a lot of potential, at least for now, Ron was taller than all of them.
"Oh, maybe you might want to consider learning the Transfiguration Charm. Van Lin said helplessly, "Come out, it's not Lavender." ”
"Oh, good luck ......," Ron smiled wryly and returned to his seat, "I'm really scared right now......"
"That's your own business. Hermione said unceremoniously, and Ron didn't dare to fight back, after all, Ron was surprised that he had just hid behind Hermione and the two of them, as a shield, which was not a graceful practice.
"Harry Potter?" said the girl, who came from afar, "someone asked me to bring you this note." ”
"Oh, thanks. ”
"What is it, Dumbledore?" asked Hermione.
"Dumbledore won't be looking for the two of us until Harry has access to Slahhorn's memories. ”
"I don't know......," Harry said, "it doesn't look like it, there's a ...... in there"
When Harry opened the parchment, his heart sank. When the girl couldn't hear their conversation, Harry said with some embarrassment, "I don't seem to be able to see ...... Wait......"
Harry suddenly remembered that there was a puddle of glaring ink in Dumbledore's slender italics, which was scattered across the parchment and made the note very illegible.
Harry, to be exact, had seen such a font in Dumbledore, and it came from ......
"Dear Harry Potter...... Aragog (the giant spider in the Forbidden Forest) died last night. Harry, you've seen him and know how special he is! Hermione, I know you've loved him too. And Van Lin, I know your love for magical beasts, and although you were a little busy enough to have to give up your studies in this area, no matter what...... If you were to attend its funeral tonight, it would mean a lot to me. I plan to have the funeral around dusk – it's its favorite time of day. I know you're not allowed to leave the castle at that late hour, but you can use the Cloak of Invisibility. Don't think about it, I can take care of everything. Hagrid ......"
"Look at this," Harry said with a pale face, handing the note to Hermione.
"Oh my God!" Hermione said with a change of face, and after a quick glance, she passed it to Van Lin.
And then with that, Van Lin's face also became not very good-looking, and then the news ......
Van Lin handed the note to Ron again, and Ron read it honestly, but it was obvious that the suspicion on Ron's face was getting heavier and heavier.
"He's crazy!" Ron said furiously. "He's going to let that monster buddy eat us!Tell them trolls to help themselves?!Alright, now Hagrid wants us to go there and cry for a hairy monster?!"
"More than that," Hermione said with a solemn face. "He let us leave the castle at night. He knows how high the level of security is! And if we get caught, we're going to get in trouble!"
"But we've seen him in the night!" said Harry.
"Yes, but not before!" Hermione said, "We took the risk to save Hagrid, but Aragog died anyway. If saving it had been a problem—"
"Hmm...... To be honest, I don't really want to ......," Van Lin said hesitantly.
Apparently, the fear of being once dominated by spiders was creeping over Ron's mind.
"I'm sure...... Surely not going," Ron said firmly, "you've never seen it before, Hermione." Believe me, death is the best outcome for him. ”
"Harry, don't you want to go!" Hermione said, "It's not a good thing to be confined for this!"
Harry sighed and said, "Yes, I know. But I think Hagrid is going to bury Aragog alone. ”
"Yes, that's all he has," Hermione said reassuringly, "Look, the bottle will be empty this afternoon, and we'll need to be lucky to go to our test...... Try to get Slughorn to let us do some more!"
"Do you think it's going to be a fifty-seven percent chance of getting through?" said Harry bitterly.
"Oh no, I can guarantee ......" Van Lin shook his head, "If you two remember what I said, you will definitely be fine, you two are not bad, but, Harry, you do need a bit of luck, and this is also a chance, a fresh giant spider that has just died." ”
"What?"
"Oh yes, how did I not think of it, Harry, lucky ......," Hermione said happily, "yes, what better thing to keep that potion?"
Harry was stunned for a moment, and suddenly, as if breaking through the fog, there was a secret about Slavhorn's memories and Malfoy's...... The shape of the golden flask had been swirling in his mind for a while, and there was also the idea of breaking up Ginny and Dean's immaturity...... Ron seems to want his sister to find a new boyfriend......
For a moment, everything he could do swelled in the depths of Harry's brain. These are never acknowledged except in dreams or trances......
"So, Harry, are you coming with me?" asked Hermione.
"Yes, of course," he said, and then hurried to catch up with them. "So, okay...... If I can't talk to Slughorn this afternoon, I'll bring some lucky potions and go on another date. ”
"Yes, that's it. Hermione looked excited, "A nice date, Harry, it's just ......"
"Oh, don't talk about it," Ron pleaded, "dating or something...... That incident disgusted me...... Quick, let me hide!"
"That's not Lavender!" Hermione said impatiently, just as a group of girls appeared in the courtyard, and Ron immediately hid again.
"It's been fantastic. Ron said excitedly.
Van Lin looked at the girls who came over, "But they don't seem to be happy." ”
"They are Montgomary sisters. Of course they won't be happy, haven't you heard about what happened to their brother?" said Hermione.
"Honestly, I don't want to take the time to figure out what's going on with everyone's relatives. Fan Lin said truthfully, "And he is still someone he doesn't know." ”
"Oh, you're the president of the student council, Van Lin!" said Hermione, "yes, their brother was attacked by a werewolf! But the boy was only five years old. The magic hospital couldn't save him. ”
"He's dead?" Harry repeated in surprise. "But werewolves don't kill people! They only make you their kind, right?"
"They kill people sometimes," Ron's face turned pale, "I've heard that they did this after they were banished. ”
"What's that werewolf's name?" Harry asked suddenly.
"Greyback!" said Van Lin, "I've seen that fellow, the leader of the werewolves, and, he's fierce. ”
"I knew it was him! The one who often assaulted children, Lupin told me something about it. Harry said irritably.
"Still, when did you see him, and how did I not know?"
"With Sirius, go to the underground to get something," said Van Lin in disgust, "I've seen him from afar. ”
"Okay......" Hermione nodded, "I don't want ......, though"
"Of course, I'll let you know. Fan Lin said sincerely that after the secret was made public, there was naturally no need to continue to hide it.
"So, Harry, you're going to find that memory," Hermione said. "It's all about stopping Voldemort, isn't it? ”
The castle bell rang, and Hermione jumped nervously.
"You're going to do well," Harry said to them as they went back to the test with the other students, "good luck." ”
"So are you," Hermione said meaningfully.
Harry turned back and walked to the dungeon.
There were only three people who went to class, Harry, Ernie and Malfoy.
"Not yet 17 years old and can't take the test?" Slughorn said kindly. They all nodded.
"Okay. Because there are so few of us, let's do something fun. I want you guys to make something amazing. ”
"Sounds wonderful, Professor. Ernie looked eager to try. Malfoy, on the other hand, did not smile and said irritably, "What do you call something amazing?" ”
"Something that amazes me. Slughorn replied briskly. Malfoy opened his guide to making advanced potions with a calm face, but the look on his face said it all, and it was obvious that he thought the class was a waste of time.
Stepping past his book, Harry looked at Malfoy and thought, no doubt that he was nostalgic for his time in the women's bathroom.
Anyway, Malfoy doesn't have any strange fetishes, as if he has got a terrible way to open it.
It must have been a hallucination, but Malfoy looked thinner like Tonks! his face was still pale, his skin still gray. Probably because it's been getting a lot of sunlight lately. He is less pretentious, exuberant and arrogant. Without his hubris on the Hogwarts Express, he was trumpeting the mission Voldemort had given him...... Harry thought there was only one explanation: that mission, whatever it was, didn't go well.
Quite possibly, no...... Yes for sure...... Harry's eyes almost lit up.
Encouraged by this thought, Harry began to browse through his books. He found a half-blood prince's heavily modified elixir, which didn't look like the Professor's ingredients.
But it occurred to Harry that maybe that would make the professor happy. And if Harry convinces him to take some, maybe he can open up his memory.
"Well, it looks perfect," said the professor after an hour and a half, rubbing his hands as he looked at the golden liquid in Harry's cauldron...... I have it in my ingredients? I smell something? Mmmm......mm You added a mint sprig, didn't you? different, but it was inspiration, Harry, and of course, that would have an average side effect...... I really don't know what you get this inspiration from, my child...... Unless ......"
Before Slahhorn could finish speaking, Harry quickly tossed the half-blood prince's book into the bag at his feet.
"Maybe your mother's genes have reappeared in you!"
"Oh...... Perhaps. Harry said reassuringly.
Ernie seemed to be in a bad mood, and he had thoughtlessly created a preparation of his own in order to overshadow Harry for once, but it had solidified into a purple dumpling-like solid in his crucible.
Malfoy had already bottled his new reagent with a black face, but the professor only announced that he had just passed.
