Chapter 459: Sai is disdainful and tries Harry again with the clever ghost
Hagrid wiped his tears and nose with a mottled handkerchief, walked over and opened the door, and Slughorn hurried in, holding a few bottles of wine in his arms and wearing a black tie very politely.
"Professor Autumn!" Slughorn seemed surprised. There was an unnatural look on his face for a moment, and his eyes wandered for a moment. "You are here too!"
"Hello, Professor Slughorn!" Sainz nodded to him, "Hagrid invited me."
Slughorn's expression returned to normal. "Is that so? I can see that you have a good relationship... Have you been here for a while?"
"Not too long." Sainz knew what he was worried about. He was afraid that he had already taken the venom from the giant spider. "I haven't seen the deceased yet. I'm waiting for you to go together."
Slughorn's eyes immediately flashed with surprise again, "I brought a few bottles of wine, ready to offer a memorial... Hagrid's old friend, just last time..."
Hagrid was touched and said, "That's very kind of you!"
"Hagrid," Sainz said, "if there's no one else, let's get started. It's getting dark."
Slughorn also said solemnly and lowly: "I am sorry, Hagrid, where is the poor creature? Sad night..."
"Outside," Hagrid's voice trembled, as if he was a little afraid to face the fact, "We...should we go?"
"Come on, Hagrid," Sainz said soothingly, "all good things must come to an end."
They crossed the pumpkin patch behind the house and came to the back garden. The pale moonlight and the light from Hagrid's window shone on the huge corpse, which lay on its back with its eight long legs bent.
Hagrid had already dug a large hole, and the new soil next to it was piled three meters high.
Slughorn said to Hagrid, "Go and say your last goodbyes to him."
While Hagrid was walking away, he leaned over to Sainz and whispered, "Professor Autumn, you know, although this may be a little inappropriate, you know how precious the poison of the eight-eyed giant spider is. If, I mean if..."
"Professor Slughorn wants to extract its venom?"
As Hagrid was about to say his final goodbye, Slughorn's voice began to become anxious, "Don't worry, Professor Autumn, everyone who sees it will get a share. I don't intend to keep it all for myself..."
Saiens said softly, "You are right, the venom of the eight-eyed giant spider is indeed precious. It is indeed a bit of a waste to let it rot in the ground. If you want to take it, go ahead. I won't tell Hagrid."
Slughorn breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you, Professor Autumn. I'm sure you'll have done your part."
"That's not necessary, Professor Slughorn. You were the first to think of it, and you worked so hard to collect it. I have no reason to take a portion of it."
Hearing what Sainz said, Slughorn's face became embarrassed, unnatural, and a little angry, but he still surpassed the others and approached the giant spider's corpse.
He walked closer to the giant spider's head, close to the two curved claws that stood motionless in the moonlight, and exclaimed: "How beautiful."
Hagrid looked at Slughorn's back and cried, "Not everyone can appreciate their beauty, Horace. I didn't know you were interested in animals like Aragog."
"I'm in awe of them, my dear Hagrid, in awe of them." Slughorn, having achieved his goal, stepped back from the corpse.
"Go ahead, Hagrid," Sainz said, "give him another ride."
Hagrid nodded, walked forward, pushed the giant spider with both hands, roared, and exerted force suddenly, rolling it into the dark pit.
It was probably its thin legs that touched the ground first, and there was a loud creaking sound in the pit, which sounded quite creepy. Hagrid started crying again.
Slughorn patted Hagrid's arm. "Of course you can't stand it. Let me say a few words," he said in a solemn tone. "Goodbye, Spider King. Those who know you will never forget your loyal friendship... Blah Blah..."
Hagrid wailed and fell on the pile of dirt, "That's... so well said... so beautifully!"
Sainz stepped forward and pulled Hegra away. He waved his wand and the pile of soil at the edge of the pit floated up and overturned into the pit.
After a dull sound, a regular and smooth grave appeared in the place.
"Now, Harry, give him a hand," said Slughorn. "Go in and have a drink. And get up, Hagrid, yes... get up..."
Everyone returned to the house, and Fang and his wife, who had been hiding in the doghouse converted from a basket since the funeral began, quietly came out and leaned over to comfort Hagrid.
Slughorn opened a bottle of wine. "I checked it all. It's not poisonous, Professor Autumn." He poured most of it into Hagrid's mug. "Since what happened last time, I've checked all the wines and had a house-elf taste every one of them."
"Let a house-elf?" Sainz was really a little surprised.
"Don't worry," Slughorn obviously misunderstood what Sainz meant, and explained, "They are quite sensitive. If it is poisonous, they will be able to tell it."
As for Sainz's feelings towards this man, if he just disliked him before, now he hates him.
He instantly lost interest in drinking with him, "Oops, sorry, I just remembered that I have an important matter to take care of in my office. Sorry, Hagrid, I have to leave now."
Hagrid rubbed his swollen eyes and choked up and said, "Don't be sorry. I know you have your own things to do."
Sainz nodded with the other two, "Harry, are you coming back to the castle with me, or are you waiting for Professor Slughorn?"
"Professor Slughorn came here with me," said Harry. "I'd better go back with him."
"Okay," Sainz said, "stay safe, bye."
Coming out of Hagrid's hut, Hagrid's sad voice came from behind, "I raised him from an egg. How big was he when he hatched from the egg? He was only as big as a pug..."
Slughorn said, "How lovely!"
"Professor, let me pour you a drink..." This was Harry's voice.
Harry came here with a purpose today. He must have taken the Felicis Potion in order to get the secret of the Horcruxes from Slughorn's mind.
Sainz estimated that if he were present, he would probably ruin Harry's hard-earned opportunity. As the resentment in his heart grew, he created an opportunity for Harry.
He also came here today to observe Harry, in order to confirm again whether he had gotten any information from Old Voldemort's mind.
"Now it seems that Lao Fu is not furious. Could it be that he still has hope?"
In the original storyline, Harry and others took the golden cup from the Lestrange family's vault. When Voldemort got the news, he was furious and killed several guys who informed him. Bella and Malfoy escaped quickly and escaped death.
Because of Voldemort's rage and violent emotional fluctuations, Harry directly entered Voldemort's mind. At this time, Voldemort could not help but think about the safety of other Horcruxes. This time, Harry learned the whereabouts of other Horcruxes and knew that the giant snake Nagini was also one of his Horcruxes.
If Volvo had been experiencing major mood swings because of the vault robbery, Harry might have gotten the message from his mind, which is why Sainz took the opportunity to ask Harry if his headache was healed.
Now it seems, not yet!
