Chapter 49
"This bucket of the eight-eyed spider's venom is my reward for asking you for your help......" said Shane, uncovering the barrel of venom.
A faint fishy smell wafted into the air.
Snape shrugged his nose, and when he smelled it, he knew that the oak barrel in front of him contained the venom of the real eight-eyed spider, and it was fresh.
Truth be told, since he started learning Potions, the venom of the eight-eyed spider he had seen and used together probably wasn't as much as the oak barrel in front of him.
There was silence for a moment, only to see Snape suddenly wave his robe, and then took the crystal bottle with a faint blue glow, turned and walked towards the office.
He walked over to the bookshelf next to his desk, pulled out a few books on it, and then took his wand and said some spell to the space on the shelf.
Suddenly, there was a snap, and a hidden mechanism in the bookshelf was opened.
Snape took out a silver potion from it, then turned it back, threw it directly to Shane, and said coldly:
"I'll report the matter of the Winged Demon to Headmaster Dumbledore. "
"Now, get out of my office!"
With that, he turned around and returned to his desk......
Walking out of Snape's office, Shane looked at the silver potion in his hand, and the joy on his face could not be concealed.
He really didn't expect that there would be an unexpected gain from giving a Christmas gift in person.
The bottle in front of you is one of the ceilings of potions: the elixir. It is a potion that can make people lucky within twelve hours.
To be honest, the value of the elixir was far greater than the gift Shane had given him, and it was even a worthless deal for him.
You have to know how much there is in the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider Forbidden Forest, and if the venom is not enough, just go and get a little back.
And Helena is Shane's own pet, so there is no need to worry about the supply of venom.
But then again, aren't all these Slytherin people like this, so arrogant?!
Shaun recalled the somewhat awkward and unexpected request when Snape had just received the present, presumably not in many years.
After delivering the gift to Snape, Shaun went to Hagrid's hut on the edge of the Forbidden Forest.
He also prepared a Christmas present for Hagrid, and stopped by to inquire about Helena and Aragog's talking secrets.
Knock! Knock!
"Hagrid, are you there?"
Shane knocked on the door of Hagrid's hut and shouted inside.
"Who? is it Harry?"
Hagrid's voice came from behind the door, followed by heavy footsteps.
The door creaked open, and a smoky Hagrid poked his head out of it.
"Merry Christmas, Hagrid!" Sean said with a smile.
"Oh, Shane, it's you!
When Hagrid saw that it was Shane, his face was immediately full of surprise, and he hurriedly invited Shane into the house.
"Thank you!" Shane thanked and stepped inside.
He looked around and noticed that there was suddenly a lot of charcoal in the corner of the house.
Shane raised an eyebrow, suddenly remembering something, and then noticed that on the table not far away, there was a round thing wrapped in a burlap bag.
And Hagrid, who had just closed the door, turned around, and saw that Shaun had been staring at the treasure he had just won, his face immediately became a little nervous, and he hurriedly walked over to block Shaun and said embarrassedly:
"Uh~~ Shane, Merry Christmas!"
"Fun, Hagrid!" Sean replied with a smile, then tilted over to look behind Hagrid, "Don't be so nervous, I know it's a dragon egg, I saw it all!"
"Oh, how do you know?" Hagrid was momentarily confused, he picked up the dragon egg on the table, and said in a pleading tone, "Shane, don't tell anyone, I'm just ......"
"Don't worry, I'm not like you!" Shane replied with a sly voice, and then took out the gift he had prepared and handed it over, "Your gift, try to see if it fits." "
"Oh my!"
Hagrid exclaimed, hurriedly put down the dragon egg in his hand, wiped his soot-stained hands, and then carefully took the new woolen coat that Shane handed over.
"I saw that you hadn't changed this coat all day, and there were a lot of patches on it, so I thought I'd take advantage of this Christmas to send you a new one. "
"Thank you, thank you so much!"
Hagrid wiped the tears from his eyes with emotion, and then began to take off the old mole skin coat on his body and change into the new clothes that Sean had given him.
After a while, he happily stretched out his arms to Shane and asked, "Is it appropriate?"
"Very good, very suitable!"
Sean nodded in praise, and then began to take advantage of Hagrid's physical and mental pleasure to say another purpose of his visit......
"Hagrid, I saw Aragog yesterday night!" said Shaun.
"Aragog is...... Aragog ?!!!"
Hagrid didn't react at first, but after two seconds, his eyes widened instantly.
He shook his head at Sean in disbelief and said, "No...... No way, it promised me that it wouldn't get out of the Forbidden Forest, it ...... How did you see it?"
"I went to the depths of the Forbidden Forest yesterday night, and I met a group of eight-eyed giant spiders, and I met them with them!" Shane replied truthfully.
"You went to the Forbidden Forest?!And you went to the lair of the eight-eyed spider?!"
The shock in Hagrid's heart was beyond words, and he scanned Shane's body in amazement.
You must know the lair of the eight-eyed giant spider, and there is basically no one in that place who will come out alive except for himself and Dumbledore.
"It's okay, Aragog and his children were very polite to me yesterday night," Shane said with a relaxed wave of his hand, "Actually, I'm just a little curious, how do you manage to make Aragog talk like a human?"
"Oh...... That's what you're asking!" Hagrid finally came back to his senses from shock, he touched his big belly, and then a trace of memory began to appear in his eyes, "Actually, I don't know why Aragog was able to speak, and if I used any method, it started when I picked up Aragog......"
It turned out that just 48 years ago, Hagrid was a third-year student at Hogwarts.
One day, he stumbled upon the egg of an eight-eyed giant spider around the Forbidden Forest.
So he had a natural affection for magical beasts, so he secretly took the eggs back to Hogwarts to hatch.
"The eight-eyed giant spider species needs to go through 10 instars from hatching to adulthood, and each age is about six to eight months. "
"And during these six to eight months, the food that the eight-eyed giant spiders eat and the environment in which they live will have a huge impact on them. "
"I remember when Aragog first hatched it was very cute, but to avoid attracting attention, I usually kept it in a wooden box and gave it some cotton-eating aphids and stable-fly food. "
Gradually, Hagrid told some of the things that had happened.
"But what does that have to do with Aragog's ability to talk?" Sean wondered.
"Maybe it matters, or maybe it doesn't. Hagrid shook his head a little regretfully, "To be honest, I was a student at the beginning, and although I was very interested in Fantastic Beasts, I didn't do much research in this area. "
"It wasn't until I became the gamekeeper of Hogwarts that I had a lot of contact with those magical beasts in the Forbidden Forest (Wang Zhaohao), coupled with some knowledge from books, that I began to slowly realize ......" (Read violent novels, go to Feilu Novel Network!)
"Aragog, it may be a very special existence in the eight-eyed giant spider group. "
"To tell you the truth, I've tried to raise an eight-eyed giant spider by raising Aragog before, but in the end it didn't work. "
"In other words, you're completely crooked!" Sean sighed a little regretfully.
Hagrid's words shattered his desire to train Helena to speak, because even if he found a password for Aragog to be able to speak, it would only apply to the Eight-Eyed Spider race.
"Hmm, what's wrong with you?" Hagrid asked curiously, seeing that Shane suddenly looked dejected. []
"I'm fine~~" Shane raised his head to regain his spirits, and then began to talk about another thing, "By the way, Hagrid, I have one more question, can you help me see what is going on with my pet?"
As soon as she finished speaking, Helena flew out of Shane's chest, circled the room, and came to a stop on Shane's head.
