night

Inside a black leather case.

Rove sat at the table, holding a quill pen on parchment.

He was writing letters, one to Gestilda Marchiban and another to Secretary Fudge.

All in order to solve the problem of the ownership of the hippogriff.

In fact, Rove was reluctant to get too close to Fudge, because according to the course of the original plane, Fudge would sooner or later turn against Dumbledore, and then be ousted from power by the ashes.

If you get too close, it's not good to get a black hand in the future.

But after thinking about it, since you will turn your face sooner or later, of course, you must take advantage of the fact that the relationship is still harmonious and realize the favor, otherwise there will be no chance in the future.

Have the right not to use it, and it will be invalid when it expires.

Therefore, for such a "trivial matter", Rove went directly through Fudge's back door, without any burden at all.

After writing the letter, the boy stretched, he pushed open the door and went outside, and saw the ponytailed girl who was still working.

Shirley stood among the hills, beside a truck-sized spider with a black and gray body and legs, and an ugly head with large claws and eight eyes.

Shirley is finishing her final job for the day...... Help Aragog, the eight-eyed spider, change her dressing.

She held the ointment in one hand and a wool brush in the other, and gently dotted the ointment on Aragog's eyes.

Aragog originally had cataracts and couldn't see in his eyes, but when Rove found out last year, he brought it back to the box for treatment.

However, Rove's medical skills were limited and he could not treat this serious disease, and after he went to the United States during the summer vacation, he operated on Aragog under Newt's guidance and prescribed medicine.

After two months of treatment, Aragog, who had been blindfolded with a layer of white eyes, is now able to see things.

Rove crept over, trying to scare Shirley from behind, but the girl had already seen the sneaky reflection of the teenager in Aragog's big eyes.

Shirley pretended not to know, and when Rove got closer, she turned around and made a playful grimace, which scared Rove so much that he took two steps back and almost fell to the ground.

Shirley smiled and bent over, the corners of her mouth curled, and she couldn't hide her triumphant: "Let you deliberately make it bad, want to scare me, now you will be punished." ”

Rove patted his chest, breathed a sigh of relief, and then looked at the gloating ponytail girl, and couldn't help but sigh.

"What are you sighing about?" Shirley asked with a smile.

"People's assistants are the kind of considerate assistants that the boss can't catch a fish, so he dives to the bottom and hangs the fish on the hook...... Look at you again, and you'll deliberately scare me. ”

Rove sighed solemnly: "It's really unladylike." ”

"The kind of assistant who dives and hangs fish is not something that can be hired for tens of Galleons a month." Shirley smiled and said softly:

"If you pay me, I can become an all-round assistant and do any job."

Rove stretched out his finger and gently poked the ponytailed girl's bulging cheek, and smiled, "Can you really do anything?" ”

Shirley's face was slightly red, and she said in a slightly nasal voice: "As long as you don't go too far......"

"But I'm asking too much." Rove laughed.

The ponytailed girl glared at Rove lightly, her glare was just a habitual small action, and there was no lethality at all.

Aragog lay to the side, staring at his somewhat dry eyes, thinking...... Can you change it first, and then you can talk.

It's a geriatric spider!

But Aragog soon regretted it, because it was Rove who changed the dressing.

Rove's movements were not as gentle as Shirley's, and he took a brush and wiped Aragog's eyes directly, turning them from dry to painful.

But Aragog has also seen Rove's methods during this time, and he is afraid of being used as an old b-lamp to explode gold coins, so he can only dare to be angry and dare not speak.

After Rove finished applying the medicine, he observed for a while and said, "Aragog, your eyes are almost healed, and I can send you back to the Forbidden Forest next time." ”

"You're really not going to kill me?" Aragog made a kaka sound.

"If I wanted to kill you, I would have killed you a long time ago, and why would I still treat you?" Rove smiled and said:

"How much did your daily medicine and most of the year's food and drink cost me?"

Aragog's eyes widened, he had thought that Rove was greedy for his "body", but it didn't seem to be like that.

It opened its mouth, but stopped talking.

"What's the matter, you can say whatever you want." Rove narrowed his eyes.

"Scamander, I know that you and your grandfather are very good at medicine, and I want to know if there is a way to help me continue my life."

"Huh?" Rove raised an eyebrow.

"The lifespan of the eight-eyed giant spider is only forty or fifty years." Aragog sighed, and said in an old voice:

"I have lived for half a century, and I can feel that my body is getting worse day by day, and I have heard that wizards have a potion made of philosopher's stones...... It's called the elixir ......"

"What are you thinking?" Rove laughed dumbly and said, "Voldemort can't drink that thing, and you still want to drink the elixir?" ”

The elixir of life is also worthy of you to drink? It's too beautiful, isn't it?

"Other life-prolonging potions will do." Aragog prayed.

It's better to die than to live, and now that it can see it again, it suddenly feels like it can enjoy it again.

"And what do you have for me?" Rove asked rhetorically.

He was willing to save Aragog because there was a system reward, but now there is no reward for extending his life.

"Those descendants of mine...... They only listen to me, and if I die, they become difficult to control...... It can also kill each other and wreak havoc in the Forbidden Forest, which is not easy for you to manage. ”

Aragog said in a deep voice:

"But it's different with me, I can help you manage them, let them help you secrete the poisonous juice of the eight-eyed giant spider, which is also very precious to you wizards......"

That's right, it's almost impossible to get venom from a living Eight-Eyed Spider, so the Eight-Eyed Spider's Poison Juice is expensive, and a pint alone can sell for a hundred Galleons.

If there are hundreds of eight-eyed giant spiders that secrete addresses at the same time, they will be directly industrialized...... That's unthinkable.

"What if I want more than just the poison juice." Rove narrowed his eyes and said, "You still want to kill some of your children and grandchildren?" ”

Aragog was silent for a moment, then said ruthlessly: "I gave birth to my children, and everything about them comes from me...... It's time to give your life for me. ”

Rove leaned back and looked at Aragog.

It is not for nothing that the eight-eyed giant spider is also a highly intelligent life and can speak human language, but it is not included in the category of "human".

After finishing tonight's treatment, Rove led Shirley out of the box and towards the Ravenclaw common room.

Peter can turn into a mouse, easily avoid the Dementors, and then infiltrate Hogwarts.

It was so late that it was certainly not safe to let Shirley go back to the break room alone, and Rove needed to send her back.

The two walked along the quiet staircase when a shrill scream was heard in the distance.

"Ahhh
