Chapter eight hundred and eighty seventh?
Near the Forbidden Forest, Alan, who had left the riot Quidditch Stadium in Quidditch, said goodbye to his elder brother, stood under a tree, leaning against the trunk, looking at the blue sky, waiting for Penelo to come out to send the spider corpse to Hagrid - but to his surprise, he saw two witches walking in the distance, Penelo walked behind with anger, while the shallow blonde witch in front of her jumped over.
Penelo stood in front of Allen with her arms raised, her eyebrows raised upwards but grinned downwards to suppress her annoyance: "Professor McGonagall was chasing her. The crazy girl saw me asking for help...I had to bring her over."
"Professor McGonagall seemed very angry with my question, so I told her maybe I should ask the girls, their father and lover fell into the river, who would she save first to balance... As soon as she finished speaking, she became even more anxious and started chasing me... She didn't want me to touch the microphone anymore."
"Luckily my dad didn't come...whether Emily and the others?"
"My sister and their college have their own celebrations, so Mrs. Harris and the others went back on their own...Professor Snape didn't expect to get another Quidditch Cup this year, and seemed to agree that they would use the common room at will."
The three men walked along the path toward the cabin guarding the Hagrid's hunting ground. In front of the messy carrots and artichokes with leaves scattered, Penelo bent down to see which nearly heart-shaped footprints were walking on the soil.
"Why did that vegetable field be trampled in a mess? What animal broke in?"
"The footprints of the goat." Penelo had already completed his judgment on the footprints and stood up and said.
"I don't even know there are goats in the forbidden forest." Allen looked at the huge carrot pieces scattered on the ground. "In addition to being good at animals, Hager is actually quite talented in growing vegetables. Maybe he did a good job in herbal medicine class back then?"
After walking a few more steps to the small wooden house on the edge of the Forbidden Forest, the three of them walked to the door. There was a stone bow and a pair of rubber overshoes in front of the door. A high shelf was erected in front of the door. There was a sheepskin hanging upside down on the shelf, and a goat head was placed under the shelf, and there was scattered wool and dried blood on the ground. It seemed that the culprit had paid the price for his crime.
Penelo stepped forward and bypassed them and knocked on the door.
Yaya's scream immediately rang out, "Who?" Hagrid's thick voice rang out, "Is it Harry?"
The wooden door was pulled open with a creaking sound.
"Miss Crivat?!" Hagrid, with blood in his hands, looked at Penelo in surprise. He recognized this former Ravenclaw student, who is now a famous female Auror in the Ministry of Magic.
Hagrid's heart suddenly rose, then he glanced at his bloody hands and hurriedly carried them on his body, as if he noticed that this would make people misunderstand that the dry explanation was a sheep, and then he looked at the female Auror carefully, staring at the beans.
At this time, Allen and Luna walked out from behind Penelo. They greeted Hagrid, and Hagrid relaxed his tight body just now.
"Hagge, there is something I want to tell you, but we shouldn't talk at the door, right?" Allen said in a playful tone, "You're not killing a sheep, right?"
"Of course not! - Come in quickly-" Hagrid, who was a little stunned, realized that he had blocked the guest outside the door and hurriedly let him out and let Alan and the others in.
Allen and the other two crossed the threshold. One corner of the cottage was placed with a large bed covered with quilts made of rags; on the other side, the fire was crackling happily, and there were equally huge wooden tables and wooden chairs in front of the fire, and there were a lot of pickled hams and dead birds hanging on the ceiling above the fire. In modern times, Hogwarts, apart from himself, seemed to have not been used by the little wizards before the hunting grounds.
On the floor was a huge wooden basin containing slaughtered lamb and a board on a huge wooden table with a goat skeleton that had not been dismantled.
Hagrid found a large rag and wiped the table hard, then placed a large teapot on the table, brewed tea for them, and brought them ferret sandwiches.
"Did you just come back from the Quidditch Arena? I heard the warm cheers..." Hagrid moved the big wooden board on the table, "This goat prevented me from watching the game. It broke into the vegetable garden and was caught by me. I have to deal with it... Hey, go away, this is not for you to eat... Uh, who won the game?"
"Sorry, Hagrid, I just ate a lot on the court and was not hungry yet..." Allen said after politely declined Hagrid's sandwich, "Emily caught the golden thief, and Slytherin won."
"Do you want to use magical biology teaching this time?" Hagrid sat on the chair and spread his huge palm. "Many students have returned the Flober sticky worms to me, but more of them are coming to apologize to me - saying that they killed the sticky worms they assigned... I don't know that the students care so much..."
Luna's light silver eyes flashed through the window, and suddenly her expression was stunned. Just now, a long black hair shook past the distance outside the window. Penelo noticed Luna's expression, stood up quickly and walked to the window, but found nothing.
"What did you two see?"
"I guess some brave little wizard has broken into the Forbidden Forest again."
"Since Sirius and others started, more and more people like to break into the Forbidden Forest..."
"It's said it's the Forbidden Forest, but no one seems to have ever regarded it as a penalty area... Forget Hagrid, let's talk about some serious matters... About Aragork..." Alan just mentioned Aragork, and was surprised to find that the big man in front of him looked frightened.
Hagrid looked pale and shivered, and wiped his forehead with his sleeve: "Take me away, don't cause trouble for Dumbledore, he has no idea about this."
The appearance of the hybrid giant made Alan and the female Auror confused for a moment. Alan quickly calmed down and stared at the hybrid giant.
Haig's big hands like a palm-leaf fan were rubbed together and said in a dull voice: "You must have known that I had violated the law for a long time. The eight-eyed giant spiders that appeared in the war in the Ministry of Magic's Mysterious Affairs Department were brought back by the Ministry of Magic."
"The Eight-Eyed Giant Spider Eggs were clearly listed as Class A non-trade commodity by the Magical Biology Management and Control Department. This does mean that the import or sale of the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider Eggs will be severely punished, regardless of whether they are raised in adult bodies." Penelo recited the Ministry of Magic's Regulations, and then sarcastically said unhappily, "But if you want to catch you, you will be Josephine..."
Big tears fell into his messy beard, and Hagrid thrust and interrupted Penelo's sarcasm and began to say to himself: "I'm breaking the law! I shouldn't have raised Aragok secretly! I shouldn't have put it in the forbidden forest!"
Allen already knew what the other party was worried about, and tried to persuade him helplessly: "Hagir...we are not..."
"I found some bones in their nest... but this was not done by Aragork, he did not kill anyone! He promised me not to harm humans..." Hager began to wail again after a few words, "It's just that its descendants are not bound by this promise... the bones and remnants show that they seem to be Muggles..."
Hearing Hager's words and surrendered, Allen was a little amused and laughed. He pressed his hand on Penelo and comforted the female Auror who was bouncing up and trying to take action.
"Actually, from the literal theory of the wizard's law, if you release it, you have no responsibility if you don't kill people..." Seeing that Hager was so guilty, Alan did not intend to really arrest Hager, so he had to find a reason to comfort Hager with some unfair views. "Just like the principle of survival of the weak in nature, this is the law of nature... For Muggles, this is a deep mountain forest, and the habits of the eight-eyed giant spiders will not hunt outside their territory... Those Muggles who can come here are mostly those who like adventure and survival in the wild... They must have known the possibility of encountering beasts..."
"They didn't tell me this..." Penelo realized that Allen was unwilling to investigate and put his anger on the eight-eyed giant spiders she managed, and planned to go back and review it.
"But... weren't you here to catch me?" Hagrid opened his palm a little, revealing his face buried inside, and then began to cry again, "I killed someone! Merlin, what did I do!"
"... So you have to be cautious when choosing a pet in the future. Some things cannot harm you or cause fatal harm to you, but for the little wizard and Muggle... Well, that's why other people in the umbrella company have been trying to teach you these ideas. You have been much better recently than in previous years..." Allen patted Hagrid's thick arm and comforted: "Don't worry Hagrid, we are not here to arrest you... We came here to tell you that Aragork died of old age... Uh I mean I'm dead... We brought his body back to you, I think you'll be happy to bury it, after all... As an eight-eyed giant spider, Penelo and I are sure that it has indeed resisted its nature and fulfilled its promise to you-although it is a bit indulgent to its descendants' behavior..."
The sob that Hagrid had already begun to weaken and became intermittently stopped suddenly. The obituary and Aragork's guarding made the mixed-blood giant wail like a beast, murmuring Aragork's name.
"I'm hungry." Luna's light voice suddenly sounded, making the noisy scene quiet.
Everyone followed her eyes and found that it was the pot of mutton that Hagrid dismantled.
"I read Qiu Zhang Jiaxiang's magazine that I read has a recipe for making stewed lamb."
Penelo's eyes turned on Luna, she rolled her eyes unhappily. Just as she was about to criticize Luna for not being able to look at the atmosphere of the conversation, she heard Allen say in a somewhat embarrassed tone, "Hagir, I have to get some lamb from you."
