Harry Potter: Dark Alchemy

"Quack!" Fatty yelled, not sure if it was because he heard the word "forbidden forest" that he was familiar with.

"Look, Hermione! Even Wright's crow agrees with your statement!" Ron said with a surprised look on his face, "You must have guessed it right! Maybe we really need to go to Hagrid and ask. ”

Everyone agreed.

In order to avoid being noticed, Chang Chu decided that just after dinner, the four of them would pretend to go for a walk, then meet up outside the castle, and finally go to Hagrid to find out what happened.

But God is not as good as God. Since Percy and Penello were both petrified, some unsuspecting professors have also been very vigilant about attacks in the secret room in the past week. They voluntarily took on the responsibility of patrolling the castle. Once a student walked by alone, they would always check for a long time.

By the time Chang Chu and the four finally met outside the castle, it was almost seven o'clock.

It was a starry night, and a bright full moon hung high in the sky.

The four of them took advantage of the starlight and moonlight and hurriedly walked towards the window of Hagrid's wooden house that reflected the warm yellow light. They walked to the door without anyone noticing their actions.

The four of them looked at each other, and finally Harry walked up and knocked on the door. Among the four, he was the one who had the closest relationship with Hagrid.

"Oh, it's you." Hagrid opened the door and happily welcomed the four of them in. "I was still having dinner! I didn't expect you to come. Do you want some?"

Ron frowned and looked at the food placed on the wooden table in the room. He vaguely remembered that Hagrid once gave him a piece of rock cake that could knock out his teeth, although it was not him who was placed on the table at that time. Familiar rock cake, but Ron still expressed his gratitude.

Chang Chu and the other three also reluctantly declined Hagrid's proposal.

"Then let me get you each a cup of tea first." Hagrid pointed to the teapot.

The four of them did not refuse again.

The decoration in Hagrid's wooden house was not much different from the last time they came here, but due to the recent warm weather, a lot of the hams and broilers that were originally hanging on the ceiling had been cleared away, leaving a large space. Other than that, almost nothing has changed.

Harry naturally ignored the huge wooden stick leaning against Hagrid's bedside, but Hermione couldn't ignore it because the wooden stick looked too smooth and had many exquisite carvings on it. The patterns on it are completely unlike the tools used by Hagrid to make fires or explore paths.

"Hagrid, what is that stick for?" Hermione asked, pointing to the stick.

"It turns out that a smart little witch like you can make such mistakes, Hermione." Hagrid smiled and brought a huge dinner plate to the four of them. In addition to four cups of steaming tea, there were also There is a thick piece of yellow peach cream cake.

"Um?"

"That's not a stick, Hermione." Hagrid said loudly, and everyone could see that he was very happy at this time. "That's my wand."

"Wand?" Ron was stunned.

Ron looked at the wooden stick that was about as long as others, and then thought about his wand that was completely broken into two pieces. For a moment, he couldn't think of which of the two should be called. Zuo is a qualified magic wand.

"Yes, yes, this is my new wand!" Hagrid said, "I bought it from Ollivander's. He said that when a child went to his place to try out the wand the year before last, he tried it. Root, but didn’t want it.”

"Who would actually try this wand?" Harry was also surprised. He remembered that he had tried many wands in Ollivander's shop, but most of them were only more than ten inches long, and he had never tried one so long. .

"Yes, the main material of this wand is oak, and it is five feet long." Hagrid stroked his beard with satisfaction, "Maybe this wand is a bit long for you, but I think It’s just right, very sturdy and easy to use. ”

"Was the person who tried this wand before a troll?" Ron asked curiously.

Chang Chu glanced at Ron calmly. She had heard from Wright before that he had been tested on the wand by Ollivander all afternoon, and what he talked about in detail was this giant club-like monster. Beard core wand.

"I don't know, Ollivander didn't tell me about this." Hagrid shook his head.

"What about Hagrid's previous wand?" Harry asked. He vaguely knew that Hagrid once had a pink umbrella, and his wand should be hidden inside the umbrella when he was in school.

"That umbrella is just an umbrella now!" Hagrid said nonchalantly, stuffing a mouthful of ermine meat sandwich into his mouth.

The Gryffindor trio looked at each other excitedly. Hagrid had never told them about the umbrella so openly before. Whenever the umbrella was mentioned or why he had been expelled before, Hagrid would say something else out loud, mysteriously playing dumb.

"Hagrid, can we ask you about the Chamber of Secrets opening incident fifty years ago?" Hermione asked sweetly.

Ron couldn't help but shrink back. He had never seen Hermione look so sweet. She almost always had the arrogant look of "I'm right, you are wrong."

"Yes, the Chamber of Secrets!" Hagrid said excitedly, his beard trembling, "It was because of the Chamber of Secrets that I was expelled before, but now Principal Dumbledore can finally clear my name. The Ministry of Magic Only then did I get my wand back."

"Hagrid, can you tell us what happened fifty years ago?" Hermione continued to ask.

"Sorry, Hermione." Hagrid looked at Hermione apologetically, "Principal Dumbledore and I had an agreement that we couldn't tell you about this matter."

"But we already know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, Hagrid." Harry said, "Now we just want to know where the Chamber of Secrets is."

"Don't mention that monster's name!" Hagrid said a little unhappy, "Aragog doesn't like it! I don't like it either!"

Ron said to Harry: There are monsters that Hagrid doesn't like!

Harry gave Ron a subtle elbow on the arm.

"Who is Aragog?" Chang Chu asked.

"It's a friend of mine," Hagrid said. "It and its descendants all live in the Forbidden Forest."

Although she was very happy that Hagrid talked about the Forbidden Forest, Hermione was more concerned about the other word: "Descendants? Descendants?"

"Yes, Aragog is an Acromantula." Hagrid said lightly.

While Hagrid and the Chang Chu quartet were telling the story of Aragog, Wright on the other side finally took advantage of the full moon night to successfully remove the mandrake blade.
