Chapter 425: 1 drunk after funeral

() "... The King of the Forbidden Forest Spider, Alagok, you are a competent father and a friend worth remembering. Now that you are asleep, you will always be there in my heart."
"In today's world, it is the time when maliciousness rages and intersects. Light and darkness struggle for survival and death, innocent lives are pulled by the storm of blood, and you are one of the sleepers."
"Of course you have stains, mistakes, and even sin, but this is not your fault. As a wise king of the eight-eyed giant spider, you are still dignified in negligence and outstanding in stains. Yes, there is the last remorse in sin. "
"Although you have ended your journey of more than fifty years at this time, you cannot witness the end of the evil that is not necessary. But if all this returns to peace in the near future, your solemn and unwilling face I'm afraid it will inevitably show a slightly relaxed smile ... "
Behind the hunting hut near the forbidden forest, beside the small pumpkin field, Maca stood solemnly next to the large pit.
Beside Maca is Hagrid.
The five-thick, three-thick, but surprisingly soft giant was kneeling down in front of the pit, and the tears in his eyes seemed to flow like money, desperately moistening his beard and front.
Behind them, Harry, Hermione, and Luna were so quietly stuck in place. Not to mention Luna, who can be dazed everywhere, at least the expressions of Harry and Hermione are quite complicated.
At this moment, Maca's surprisingly solemn eulogy echoed on this open flat ground, mixed in the wind accompanied by snowflakes and drifted into the distance.
"... My friend, Alagok-may that day come soon! My friend, Alagok-may your spirit watch over your children and grandchildren in that quiet forest house!"
"My friend, Alagok-those who know you will never forget your friendship! May you find comfort and rest in the sorrow of your best friend, Rube Hagrid!"
"Well ... too, great ... it's really great ..."
After Maca's lyrics came to an end, Hagrid stunned out "wow", he fell heavily on the edge of the big pit, and his tears became more turbulent.
"Hagrid, let a let--" Maca patted his back, "It's time to cover Aragok with a quilt. This cold day, you will let him freeze!"
"I think‘ he ’may not feel cold anymore.
Ha muttered in a very low voice.
"To shut up!"
Hermione immediately turned her head and glared at him, but Harry found that Hermione's eyes also looked reddish.
"you shut up!"
Harry opened his mouth, but Hermione blocked the words with more vicious eyes.
After Maca's persuasion, Hagrid finally supported his body with the palm covered with sand and gravel, and stood back hard with his nose.
"... Yes, you're right ... Aragog will feel cold."
After he gave way, Maca picked up his staff and waved his hand. The pile of dirt that had been dug out immediately floated up, pressing the giant spider's body to the bottom of the deep pit.
After compacting the mound and rounding it, Maca lightened the staff again, and a long stone pillar rose to the ground, and a striking Runyi character appeared on it.
In ancient Runi, the eight-eyed giant spider was used to refer to the number "8". It is obviously appropriate to inscribe this character in front of Alagok's tomb.
"Okay," Marka patted Hagrid's arm again. "I don't think Aragog would want to see you cry too much for him, let's go back! Take a good rest, I still have a bit here Three brooms of mead, which Madame Rosmerta made the year before— "
With Maca's greetings, Harry and him helped Hagrid, who was full of pain and reluctance, into the cabin.
When Hagrid crunched his into a chair, the teeth that had been frightened by Alagok's body finally crawled out of the basket, and walked to Hagrid as usual to make it bigger. His head rested on Hagrid's lap.
Then Maca took out three small oak casks from her waist and arranged them on the round table in front of Hagrid.
"Oh-how much is in your belt bag?" Harry said curiously.
"Well, there have been several invisible stretch spells stacked up to now," Maca shrugged as she continued to pull out the cup. "I've used it now, and no matter how large the space will be filled, , So it will expand every time-if this bag is not over the shoulder, I can let you go in for a walk. "
"Walk?" Harry heard the words and could not help but twitch his lips.
"Are you guys coming?" Maca suddenly took out another bottle of butter beer, looked at them and asked, "If I want, I can warm you up."
"Hmm ... can't I try that too?" Harry glanced at the cask on the table.
"No, I don't think so--" Maca shook her head and said, "The meads are a little bit strong, aren't we going to be active for a while?"
In Harry's regretful sight, Maca reached out and gently tapped the bottle's wall, a flash of fire swirling around it immediately.
After a while, the warm butter beer was poured into the wine glasses, and a thick and mellow butter aroma permeated the cabin.
At this time, Hagrid had already shed tears and drank two glasses of mead.
"So, come on!" Maca raised her glass, and exclaimed, "for Aragong!"
"Aragog!" Harry, Hermione, Luna, and Hagrid echoed in unison.
After this slightly special funeral, everyone was sitting in a hunting hut warmed by the fireplace and toasting each other.
At the beginning, Hagrid was still immersed in sorrow and was unable to extricate himself, but after a while, drunkenness finally attacked his brain, diluting Aragog's departure a lot.
In this case, although butter beer did not contain alcohol, Harry felt as if he was drunk by the atmosphere that gradually relaxed.
"... When I met him, he was just an egg!" Hagrid said sadly. "How small was he when he first hatched! It was just a big fingernail ..."
"Oh-" Luna sipped the hot drink in the cup, and the rich foam stained her upper lip, but she didn't notice it at all, "he is so cute."
"... Later, it didn't take long to grow up in a blink of an eye," Hagrid continued. "I hid him in a school locker, and it was only a few months before I could squeeze it out."
"Yeah!" Maca said deeply. "The eight-eyed giant spider grows really fast. It basically won't take long from infancy to semi-maturity."
"Yes, it's like this ..." Hagrid shook his somewhat dizzy head and agreed with him, "If it hadn't grown so fast, he wouldn't have been found ... but it's no wonder he isn't his fault ! "
"Actually it can be used to reduce the spell, that works--" Maca casually said, "Become a little bit smaller, and even if others notice it, it will only be a small spider that has been everywhere."
"Oh--you know, the curse has not been so good to me," Hagrid said, narrowing his eyelids. "It is too difficult for me to reduce the curse ... it is too difficult ..."
"Maca, you also have that terrible big spider-oh, I mean ... eight-eyed giant spider?" Hermione looked at Maca in surprise, and Harry's eyes widened too.
"Yes, the little ones are still in the United States, protecting Sirius for me!" Maca nodded. "Oh, there are another poor group of children."
"What on earth did Sirius meet?" Harry asked homeopathically. "The note he sent Hedwig sent us all terrified us!"
"Hmm ..." Maca thought about it, then shook her head again. "You don't have to worry about the things over there. Next, you need to train the black magic defense technique, and then say something else! "
"but--"
Harry was naturally unwilling. Sirius was his godfather after all. At the moment, except for the Dursleys, he has only one family member, Sirius.
Although Sirius has no real blood relationship with him, he feels that Sirius is obviously more suitable for his family than the Dursleys.
"No need," Hermione dragged him, "Just knowing that Sirius is okay? We should really focus on future training first, or even if we know the most detailed situation, But if you can't help, you can only be anxious, don't you? "
"You have as much power as you have power," Luna added slyly. "Mr. Fosco once said that."
"Mr. Fosco?" Harry said puzzled ~ EbookFREE.me ~ Who is that? "
Maca has long been used to Luna's sudden famous sayings. But Harry and Hermione hadn't been around her for so long, and they were naturally curious about the punchline that came out of her mouth.
"... Probably 'Dexter Fosco'! One of Hogwarts's past principals," Hermione blinked, "but did he say that? I Why didn't you remember? "
"Not the Fosco of Hogwarts ..." Luna said with a crooked head. "It's the Fosco of Diagon Alley, the owner of the ice cream parlour."
"What? The ice cream parlour?" Harry and Hermione were suddenly depressed.
While both were speechless as the owner of the ice cream parlor would say such sensible sayings, Hagrid, who was lying a bit confused on the table, looked up and snorted with his loud voice—
"Ice cream! Ah-ice cream! Poor little Aragog cannot eat-he dilutes as soon as he eats!"
