Chapter 1520 News of Aragog's Death

A lot has changed since her plan to become a girl failed.

First of all, Malfoy has become more vigilant, and it is almost impossible to follow him to the Room of Requirement now, even if he becomes a cuter girl.

Second, the mental state of Harry and Ron has become more swayed.

Ron's spirit was extraordinarily nervous. In addition to the impact of the failed plan, it may also be the effect of his deteriorating relationship with Lavender. Now he often avoids Lavender, or he is with her. quarrel.

Of course, the upcoming Apparition exam didn't do much good for his nervousness.

Ivan now often sees Ron holding a booklet "Common Apparition Mistakes and Avoidance Methods" issued by the Ministry of Magic, where he bows his head to study, hoping to find something that can increase his Apparition formation power.

He took some compound decoction from Aiwen again, saying it was used to relieve tension. As for why the compound decoction can relieve tension, Aiwen didn't ask too much, he thought this should be a new world that he wouldn't want to know...

Harry didn't have any emotional troubles, and he didn't need to think about the Apparition exam for the time being, and he didn't need to use compound potion to relieve stress, but after the failure of the last plan, he had to accept the reality and focus on influencing Slughorn body.

Speaking of influencing Slughorn, Alvin and Harry have given each other a lot of gifts lately.

Everything from cheap snacks to valuable magical alchemy items and potion ingredients.

Slughorn accepted them cheerfully and never refused, but as soon as the two of them mentioned that memory or showed signs of it, he would quickly change the subject, or just avoid it, changing his face and fleeing so fast, Alvin had never seen it before.

It is the so-called leopard jumping like thunder and leopard walking away. It is not easy to get anything from this cunning "old seal".

He must have known Ivan and Harry's plans, but he just wasn't going to hand over the memory that had been hidden for decades.

Even Ivan, who was mentally prepared for this, had to admit that this was a difficult task.

Sometimes, he even wondered if Slughorn was deliberately rubbing his and Harry's presents.

Because, his intention to do so is too obvious.

After the eighty-seventh failure, Aiwen had to follow the successful plan in the original book, hoping it would succeed. To be on the safe side, he felt that it was better to use Aragog's corpse, which was a very rare potion material.

As a master of potions, it was impossible for Slughorn not to be interested in it.

For this reason, Ivan deliberately asked Hagrid several times to confirm Aragog's physical condition.

That morning they finally got a note from Hagrid, a note about Aragog's death.

After persisting for so long, the old spider finally ended its long life, a period of time earlier than recorded in the original book, which may have a lot to do with Ivan's tossing in his lair before.

Hagrid said more than once that Aragog was saddened by the destruction of his children and grandchildren, and that he always condemned the students in the castle.

The note was brought by Hedwig. The handwriting on it was messy, and there were large ink stains on the paper, making it difficult to read.

Dear Alvin, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Elaine:

Aragog died last night.

Aiwen, you have met him before and know how special he is. At the last moment of its life, you have warmly asked about its physical condition many times, and have done a lot for it. Thank you for your help. In fact, Aragog has a deep impression on you, and it will never forget you until the last moment. It is a pity that you were too busy to come to see it.

And Harry, Ron, Hermione, Elaine, I know you'll love it too, you've mentioned it so many times. Especially Elaine, you are always so interested and loving with Aragog, baby Glop, and other lovely animals I keep.

If you can, I hope you can come to the funeral tonight, it means a lot to me.

I planned to have the funeral at dusk, his favorite time of day. I know you are not allowed to come out that late, but with an invisibility cloak or something. I didn't want to make this request, but I couldn't face it alone.

Hagrid!

"That's all!" Harry finished reading the note, handed it to Ivan, and asked, "What are you going to do?"

"Hmm..." Ivan didn't answer, thinking about his plan to use Aragog to please Slughorn.

"He's crazy!" Ron said fiercely next to him. "Tell us to cry over that horrible, hairy spider corpse!"

"Not only that." Hermione agreed, and took the note from Aiwen, "He wants us to leave the castle at night, knowing that the security measures have been tightened by a million times, how troublesome it will be if we are caught! You're right, he may indeed be insane."

"But we've seen him at night before," said Harry.

"Yes, but for something like this?" said Hermione. "We've taken a lot of risks for Hagrid, but after all...well, Aragog is dead, we haven't seen him while we're alive, Not to mention any affection for it.”

"I really want to see it!" Elaine said, "The largest acromantula in the world sounds very powerful."

"It sounds creepy." Ron corrected, "Anyway, I don't plan to go. Although I haven't seen Aragog, I have seen other acromantids. It should be several times their size. Think it would make Hagrid a lot better off if he died."

Hermione didn't continue to express her opinion, but judging by her expression, she obviously didn't want to go, it's not worth the confinement for this.

Harry hesitated, looking down again at the note that had finally threaded back into his hand.

Staring at the ink smudges all over the paper, it was obvious that big, big tears had fallen on the parchment,

"I'm going to take a look. You know, Aragog is a rare potion material." Ai Wen said finally, "Remember? The venom of the acromantula is very precious, and the market price is very high. This is especially true of Aragog's venom, the largest acromander in the world, and I'm going to collect a little while I'm at the funeral for a gift to Slughorn."

"Give it to Slughorn as a gift?!" Everyone looked at Ivan in surprise.

"Yeah, I actually recommend inviting him to collect it himself, which is better than us giving it to him." Ivan said, "Harry, let's invite him later, if possible, drink some Felicity Potion, We need a little more luck to influence him."
