Chapter 202 Letters and Research
Ron leaned over and looked at the parchment and said unexpectedly: "How come my dad's name is?"
On parchment, the names of James Porter and Sirius Black occupy the center, and various related characters are drawn from their names, such as James introduces Harry, and Harry leads to the names of various sources of information, such as ‘Mr. Weasley’, ‘Minister Foggy’, and ‘Professor Lupin’.
Harry explained: "Before getting on the train, Mr. Weasley made me wary of Sirius and made me swear not to look for him, he must know more."
"Do you want me to write him a letter?" Ron asked tremblingly. To be honest, he was a little afraid.
"I think--"
"Potter! Come here." Professor McGonagall came in from outside and waved to Harry.
The two went to the corner to whisper, Harry's voice became more and more excited.
After a while, he came back, with a gloomy expression on the table, picked up a quill and added a new name 'Professor McGonagall' to the parchment paper.
"She knew it, but she fooled me as a child."
Hermione looked at the pocket-sized glass and suddenly said, "This was made by Professor Hepp, commissioned by Dumbledore, and it contains Sirius Black's hair."
She promised Professor Heip not to disclose it in advance, but since the lenses have been sent to Harry, there is no need to hide them.
Harry was angry and laughed, "So, everyone tried to keep me as the client in the dark?"
"Don't do this, Harry, they have their reasons. But we can also check the past ourselves, don't we?" Hermione said.
Ron widened his eyes, "Do you know what you are talking about, Hermione?"
"This is very important, Ron. We may be able to analyze valuable information from it, such as the magic that Sirius Black is good at. If we meet in a narrow road, it will be much better than knowing nothing about him." Hermione assigned the task arrogantly: "Ron, you write to your father, and Harry worked hard from Professor Lupin."
"Where are you?" Ron asked sensitively.
"I asked Professor Hepp if he knew something, but it was unlikely. When he entered school, Harry's father had graduated." Hermione said with her fingers: "By the way, there is Hager, do you remember? The night Malfoy was injured, we ran to comfort Hager, and he finally drove us out excitedly."
Ron said in agreement: "This trick works. Hagrid has a big mouth and he will say it's leaking."
Harry suddenly reminded the two: "Snape must know it too. He hates my father and Professor Lupin, maybe..."
"What a great idea, we ran over and asked him - dear Professor Snape, were you spanked by a man named James Porter while in school? We want to learn more about one of his friends..."
Harry was speechless.
Neville walked in, holding a letter in his hand, looked around and came to Harry.
"My grandmother's letter was sent to Professor Heip, I don't know if I should hand it over to him." Neville's round face showed a hesitant expression.
...
Felix saw the letter the next day, and he opened the envelope in front of Neville and pulled out the letter paper.
Neville stared at him intently, "What did she say?"
"Ask me to go to Mrs. Paddiff's teahouse on the weekend to meet and discuss in detail." Felix smiled.
Neville swallowed, "I, can I follow me? This is about me, right?" He reluctantly said the words Harry and the other two had formulated for him yesterday.
"Oh, no, you are not allowed to enter Hogsmeade."
...
"You just agreed? Didn't you fight for it?" Harry said with his eyes wide open.
"I, I..." Neville stammered: "I think Professor Hepp is very reasonable. I am indeed not allowed to go to Hogsmeade village."
"You can ask him to take you with you, he is a professor!"
"I didn't expect it at that time..." Neville said, touching the back of his head.
Harry was so arrogant alone.
On the other side, Felix was looking at a glass bottle with interest.
Three days passed, the eight-eyed giant spiders inside were as big as walnuts.
"I know you can understand me, Mr. Eight-Eyed Spider," said Felix.
"Witch, what do you want to do?" said the eight-eyed giant spider, and its pair of big claws kept opening and closing, making a "click" sound.
"A lot, but I need your cooperation."
"Impossible, wizard, you can't insult me." It said fiercely, while waving its big claws in anger.
If this sentence is based on its original body shape, it will definitely be very deterrent.
Felix smiled, "I want to remind you that you attacked me first. The reason I left you is because you still use it, if it is useless..."
The eight-eyed giant spider became nervous, and it remembered the fear of being tortured (small) by the wizard, "So, will you let me go?"
"If you're satisfied, why not? Do you look delicious?"
"Okay, I agree." It quickly changed its words.
"Next I will use my magic to stimulate you a little bit to restore your original state. You have to describe the corresponding feeling, do you understand?"
"……clear."
From Felix's perspective, a blue magic power entrenched in the body of the eight-eyed giant spider, which looked extremely orderly, like chains, blocking its body's recovery, but this magic power was dissipating at an extremely slow speed.
After all, this magic power is the source of waterlessness, and the eight-eyed giant spider itself is a magic creature, and it contains magic power in its body, and is desperately trying to get rid of the confinement on its body.
The later this process is, the faster it is. Judging from the data obtained in the previous three days, the time is between 5 and 8 days.
‘If my magic can automatically absorb free magic power, will it exist forever?’ Felix guessed, but this was completely unrealistic, at least he couldn’t even touch a trace of his shadow now.
Felix carefully tentatively that the blue magic was very stable, and seemed to be disdainful of him, the original owner. Instead of using the zoom spell to cancel the magic, he soaked his magic into the eight-eyed giant spider's body to help it fight and wipe out the blue chains.
Widths of blue mist appeared from the body of the eight-eyed giant spider. Soon, it turned into the size of a watermelon, but it did not dare to move at all, allowing Felix to poke and dot at him.
Every few minutes, Felix would ask the eight-eyed giant spider how he felt.
"How do you feel?"
"Nothing."
After a while—
"What about now?"
"It's like walking into a nest from the sun, my body feels much more comfortable." The eight-eyed giant spider likes cold and humid environments.
“It was so uncomfortable before?”
"The deformation process is uncomfortable and very uncomfortable, but after a while, I didn't feel it anymore. I thought I was like this." said the eight-eyed giant spider.
Felix looked at it quite surprised. Although he knew that the eight-eyed giant spiders could speak human language, he did not know that they could express their meaning so clearly.
"Do you usually chat in English and hold tea parties?" Felix asked curiously.
"I don't know what you are talking about, it was Aragork who taught us." said the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider.
Felix understood a little. The wild eight-eyed giant spider definitely does not have such talent. It would be great if he could say some short sentences.
But the forbidden forests are different. Their source is Aragork, which was raised by Hager since childhood.
This gave him some new ideas, maybe he could keep them in captivity?
When he tactfully made this suggestion to Hager, Hager said cheerfully: "That's what Hogwarts does now! I go to Aragork every one or two months to see Aragork. It's too old and there may not be much time. By the way, extract some venom of the eight-eyed giant spider. That's a good thing. Some of the expenses in the school come from. But every time Aragork doesn't let too much extract, he also wants to consider hunting for his descendants..."
Felix looked at Hagrid in amazement, which was completely different from what he thought.
Hager said happily: "After you don't know anything, most of the smart communities in the Forbidden Forest are in contact with Hogwarts, Dumbledore asked me to take care of this."
"For example, unicorns, I usually give them some herbs and supplements. They don't mind me taking some hair. The good things were taken away by Olivande. The rest was useless. I used them to make some mats, rags, etc., which were very useful..."
"Or horsemen, they act as barriers to the forbidden forests, are wary of werewolfs, monsters and dangerous creatures. They will notify me if they cannot be solved; they are also good at healing, and they are different from wizards' methods, and sometimes they can be used in some ways. As for horsemen's divination, I don't know much about this..."
