Hogwarts wizard

Jellal walked quietly to Slughorn's side, and at this time he was cutting some plant leaves and glanced to the side.

"Professor." Jellal said.

His words made Slughorn feel as if his heart was about to jump out of his chest. He patted his chest.

"Jeral, you scared me..."

Jellal waved his hand and stretched his fingers towards the plants in front of him. The plants seemed to be spiritual and wrapped around his fingers greedily.

"Sorry, I should make some noise, clear my throat, or cough."

Hearing him say this, Slughorn let out a long sigh of relief.

"They seem to like you very much?"

Seeing Jellal playing a game with these plants, Slughorn couldn't help but say, this state really feels magical.

Jellal let go of his hand and said to Slughorn, "Yes, they are very friendly to me. Professor Sprout often invites me to come and take care of them..."

"Did you think Professor Sprout or Mrs. Hooch was here?"

Sprout was the herb greenhouse grower, and Mrs. Hooch, who often used a broomstick, was even more subtle.

"No, how did you know?"

Slughorn laughed. To be honest, he really had such an idea at the time.

It should be obvious that Jellal is a little funny too.

"I see that you are so sneaky that you are scared to death. These are poisonous tentacles, professor. They are very valuable, right?"

The poison is quite high, but they will not harm Jellal, and this characteristic of Jellal also amazed Slughorn.

He held a leaf and told Jellal.

"That's right! This leaf can be sold for ten gold galleons, but I also heard about it from others. I don't know much about the black market. I came here to find this thing purely for research."

He seemed interested and felt happy sharing this with Jellal.

Jellal stayed for a while and then prepared to leave. After all, the lucky water had medicinal effects, and he didn't know what was going on with Harry.

"But when I saw these, I felt a little uncomfortable. ..."

"How did you sneak out of school? Jellal." Slughorn looked at the sky outside. It was already very late, and Jellal was still wandering outside.

"Coming out of the gate, I'm going to find Hagrid now. You know, he and I are old friends. I always feel that I should go see him at this time. I have a very strong intuition. If nothing happens, I'll leave first. ”

After speaking, Jellal turned around and prepared to leave. Through this period of time together, he understood Slughorn and he would not let himself be alone outside.

"Gerald!"

Sure enough, before taking a few steps, he called out to Jellal. Jellal turned around and asked.

"what happened?"

Slughorn looked at Jellal. He didn't know if his words were of any use, but there were many things he should try.

"It's so late, I can't let you wander around alone, it's too dangerous."

This was what Jellal was waiting for, and he extended an invitation to Slughorn.

"Then why don't you come with me? I think Hagrid will welcome you."

Slughorn spoke, "What I'm saying is that you should go back to your dormitory."

"No, Professor, I have to go to Hagrid."

Jellal kept walking in front, and Slughorn was really worried that something would happen to him, so he kept following him.

"It's best for you to follow me back to the castle now."

Jellal did not stop.

"It's no use saying anything, Professor."

Slughorn and Jellal had been relieved a lot. He felt that Jellal was very strange now, so he couldn't help but ask.

"What happened to you today?"

Jellal replied.

"I don't know either, intuition."

On the other hand, Hagrid was about to use magic to burn the dead Aragog, and Harry rushed over.

Aragog was the big spider they saw in the Forbidden Forest before. It was very huge. Hagrid was not in a good mood at this time.

He felt that by doing this, he could be released into nature.

"Stop it, Hagrid, I think... we should mourn him."

Hagrid shook his head, "It probably doesn't like these."

After hearing Hagrid's words, Harry continued, "You are not it, how do you know its thoughts, and I asked Jellal to come with me. Jellal and I are also its friends. Maybe we should wait a while." wait."

Hagrid nodded, "Okay then."

After a while, Jellal and Slughorn came over and saw the huge spider in front of them.

The impact was too great, Slughorn said directly.

"Oh my God, is this the Acromantula?"

Jellal couldn't help but ask, "What's going on?"

"It's dead," Harry said. Slughorn probably didn't know this. He wasn't sure what happened to the spider.

Slughorn couldn't help but ask Hagrid, "How did you kill this big guy?"

Hagrid was obviously stunned when he heard this.

"Kill it? It is my partner, my partner for a long, long time..."

Slughorn was a little embarrassed. He knew that Acromantulas were man-eating and highly venomous. He never felt that anyone could conquer them.

"sorry, I do not know……"

"It doesn't matter. It's not just what you think. In fact, spiders are not as scary as everyone thinks. It's just that his eyes are a bit scary."

Hagrid's words reminded Jellal of Ron. Ron was particularly afraid of spiders, but he felt that even if it was a dead Acromantula, Ron would definitely be afraid. This was also an intuition.

That was innate, of course, but also because his impression of Aragog was so profound.

At this moment, Harry imitated the appearance of a spider with his hands and spoke.

"And its legs."

He looked a little funny, but none of them seemed to be able to laugh at this time. After all, that was Aragog, Hagrid's partner.

Hagrid looked at him and said, "You've learned a lot."

At this time, Slughorn looked at the giant spider corpse in front of him and made up his mind. He was mainly engaged in research on potions, and was naturally very interested in this kind of thing.

"Hagrid, I don't want to be disrespectful to your partner, but you should also know that the venom of this giant spider is very difficult to get. Can you let me get a tube or two? Don't worry, I won't do anything else, just Do some experiments.”

Slughorn seemed a little cautious. After all, this was a friend, not an enemy, and his behavior was really not a good one.

After hearing his words, Jellal also said, "Hagrid, I want some too."

Of course Hagrid knew that Jellal needed this also for experiments, and he didn't feel disgusted by it.

"Anyway, it's dead now. If you need it, you can get it yourself. If his venom is useful to you, I think this can be regarded as a way to continue to exist."

Slughorn was very happy. He took out a few test tubes from his pocket, "Then I'll do it. I have the test tubes with me. I just hope that one day I can encounter this kind of thing, you know? Old-school potion masters are all so."

At this time, Jellal also took out the test tube. Slughorn looked at him and said, "You are indeed very similar to me. If it hadn't been for that incident, I think I would have happily learned everything I have learned." here you are."

"What is it, Professor?" Jellal and Slughorn asked as they walked towards the giant spider.

But Slughorn didn't want to say this, "It's nothing, it's just old things, let them pass with the flow." Although he said this, Jellal could feel that his heart should be It's uncomfortable, after all, he has remembered this matter for so many years.

And obviously, he always thinks of many problems inadvertently.

Jellal knew that he didn't want to say it, so he didn't ask further. He knew that it would be meaningless if he continued to ask.

"Let me help you. He is very poisonous. Avoid hurting you with his teeth." Slughorn said. He filled three test tubes for Jellal and two more for himself.

"Thank you Professor, Professor, you are really a good person."

Jellal said sincerely, but his words made Slughorn lower his head. He felt that he could not face him, he was ashamed.

When they went up, Hagrid looked at the corpse of the giant spider and felt very sad.

"Do you know how majestic he is? It's amazing! It's amazing."

Seeing that Hagrid seemed a little frustrated, Slughorn felt that he should do something.

"Should I give a eulogy?"

"To you!"

"He must have relatives, right?"

Harry heard Slughorn's question and said excitedly, "Yes."

Those spiders of different sizes left a very deep impression on them at first, and I don’t know how they are doing now.

"farewell!"

He was stuck as soon as he finished the first sentence. He glanced at Hagrid, who knew what he meant.

"Aragog."

Slughorn nodded.

"Farewell, Aragog, you are the King of Spiders. Your body may rot, but your spirit will last forever..."

His speech was very long, but no one felt impatient at this time. Until the end, Hagrid invited Slughorn to drink with him.

Jellal and Harry followed, "Harry, are you okay?"

Harry nodded. He looked very excited now, which always felt weird.

The two drank a lot, "Horace, do you know how small Aragog was when he hatched, like a little pug."

Slughorn took a sip of wine and said, "I can understand how you feel. I used to have a little fish, but it disappeared later..."

When he said this, he glanced at Harry, and then spoke slowly.

"It was in the spring, and one afternoon, I found a fish tank on the table. The water was very shallow and it looked like it was only a few inches high.

There was a petal floating on it. I just glanced at it twice and then it started to sink. When it was about to sink to the bottom, it suddenly changed and turned into a small fish.

What a wonderful magic, it's really amazing. The lily petals were transformed by Lily, Harry's mother. Then one day, the fish in the fish tank disappeared, and his mother disappeared too.

I know what you are looking for, but I can’t say it. If I say it, it will be all over..."

Harry heard what he said and became excited, "Because my mother is dead and he was killed by Voldemort!"

"She could have escaped, but he stayed for me. It was her love that defeated Voldemort."

"Don't mention that name!" Slughorn said. He had always avoided that name. He didn't want to mention the unbearable past, which filled his heart with guilt. No, he couldn't...

At this moment, Harry suddenly said, "I'm not afraid to mention that name. Let me tell you one thing. Others are just guessing about this, but it is true. I am the savior. I am the only one in this world." It can destroy him."

After Harry said this, Slughorn was completely stunned. In fact, they had also heard some things about the Ministry of Magic's prophecies.

But in his mind, that was something that only the Ministry of Magic should know. Now that Harry had spoken it out, he felt completely different.

Slughorn wasn't sure whether Harry was lying to him, so he looked at Jellal.

"So, this is true?" His seriousness was full of surprise.

Jellal knew Harry's purpose and said, "It's true. We found the prophecy ball in the Department of Mysteries of the Ministry of Magic. The prophecy said so."

When he said this, he glanced at Harry and said, "The prophecy ball said that only one of Voldemort and Harry can survive."

"Professor Slughorn, I hope it is Harry who survives."

After Jellal finished speaking, Harry continued.

"But now we have to know, what did Tom Riddle ask in your office all those years ago? What did you say?"

After hearing his words, Slughorn naturally had some resistance. He was somewhat unable to reveal this secret to the public.

"Be brave, Professor, just like my mother, otherwise you will be sorry for her, or her death will be in vain, or the fish tank will always be empty."

Slughorn was still struggling internally.

At this moment, Jellal pulled out his wand, and a fish tank appeared in front of Slughorn. The water in the fish tank was only a few inches high, with a vibrant green leaf floating on it.

Slowly, the green leaves began to sink and turned into a small light green fish. It jumped in the water and looked very energetic.

"Professor, there will still be small fish, but do you want to watch it disappear again?"

Jellal and Slughorn both knew what the little fish represented. At this moment, he looked at Harry, stretched out his hand and said tremblingly.

"Please, don't blame me after seeing it. You don't know how scary he was at the time."

After saying that, he took out his wand and used magic to copy the memory, and Jellal took out a test tube.

Slughorn put the memory into the test tube. In fact, he was relieved that everything was done.
