Chapter 60
The game was over.
Ron and Hagrid found Harry.
"Merlin bless you, Harry, you're fine!"
Hagrid was very happy: "The Malfoy kid did a good job. Although his father is a jerk, it is undeniable that he and Argus are good."
"The Slytherins are all liars. Who knows if they pretended to be so?"
"I think they secretly tampered with Harry's broom!"
Ron couldn't stand people praising Draco and Argus in front of him, and said unconvincedly.
Hagrid frowned slightly: "Nonsense! Why did they cast a spell on Harry's broom?"
"How could I say that? Last night we saw Argus sneak into the secret room on the third floor with our own eyes, and we also saw Snape from there!"
"Impossible, they can't get in with Fluffy here!"
"Fluffy?"
"Yes, a cute little guy, I bought it from an Irishman last year, three big heads, each one more impressive than the other!" Speaking of Fluffy, Hagrid seemed very proud.
"Dumbledore borrowed it from me just to guard..."
He seemed to realize something when he said this, and his words stopped abruptly.
"Guard what?" Harry asked hurriedly.
"No more, don't ask anymore!"
"Don't ask me any more questions about the third floor, this is top secret!"
Hagrid felt deeply regretful for his omission and immediately ended the topic.
"But Hagrid, no matter what it is, Snape wants to steal it anyway!"
"And that evil Slytherin!" Ron added.
"Stop talking nonsense! Snape is a teacher at Hogwarts, and Argus is the head of Slytherin. They don't need to take risks."
"Whoever he is, we saw that Slytherin go to the third floor last night, and Snape was there too!"
"Absolutely true."
Ron and Harry sang the same tune, which made Hagrid more annoyed.
"Listen, listen to me!"
"You are meddling in things you shouldn't be meddling in. That's very dangerous. Fluffy is only in charge of Professor Dumbledore and Nicolas Flamel..."
"Nicolas Flamel?"
"I shouldn't say that!" Hagrid, realizing that he might get into trouble, didn't dare to say another word.
He hurriedly hid in his hut.
"Nicolas Flamel? Who is Nicolas Flamel?"
"I don't know!"
The two of them stared at each other, four eyes and two glasses, completely in the dark.
...
Afternoon.
Argus came to Hagrid's hut.
First, he wanted to see how much material Hagrid had stored during this period, and second, he wanted to find out which route he would take to patrol the Forbidden Forest tonight.
With Voldemort's character, if he ran into Hagrid at night, Voldemort would be in a good mood if he could give him a good beating.
Hagrid was one of his most important suppliers, and there must be no problems.
"Woof woof!"
What surprised Argus was that Hagrid's hut was particularly quiet today.
Only Fang was wandering around.
There was no trace of Hagrid at all.
"Fang, why are you alone here? Where's Hagrid?"
Fang was a very smart dog, and he grabbed the corner of Argus's robe and pulled it into the house.
As soon as he entered the door, Argus smelled a pungent smell of alcohol.
"Argus, you... you're here!"
"Sit... sit quickly!"
Hagrid drank a lot of wine, and through his big beard, he could still see his red cheeks.
He was walking unsteadily, and he almost fell to the ground.
"Why did you drink so much?"
Argus frowned and helped Hagrid sit down.
"Argus, I... I seem to have made a mistake..."
Hagrid hesitated and asked carefully: "What would you do if you accidentally let out a very important secret?"
"A very important secret?" Argus pretended to be confused.
But he knew it in his heart!
It seems that Hagrid still revealed the matter of Nicolas Flamel to Harry.
Don't you think about it, if it is really a very important matter, how could you, a gamekeeper, know it?
Dumbledore just saw that you were not tight-lipped, deliberately let you know, and took the opportunity to reveal it to Harry!
For this kind of thing, Dumbledore can only fool an honest person like you.
Argus thought about it and answered seriously: "Did you keep this secret for others?"
"Yes... yes, no!" Hagrid tried to cover up.
"It's a friend of mine, he accidentally leaked the secret that someone else let
The secret he kept."
"Did your friend do it on purpose?"
"No, he...he just let it slip by accident."
Agers smiled gently: "Since he didn't do it on purpose, he should take the initiative to find the other party and admit his mistake."
"No matter what the result is, at least I will feel better."
"If the other party knows it earlier, there may be a chance to save it."
"You are right!"
Hagrid slapped his thigh and stood up: "I will go to Dumbledore now!"
Just after taking two steps, he suddenly felt dizzy.
The whole person fell heavily to the ground.
"Dizzy! "
Behind him, Argus slowly put away his wand.
He cast a levitation spell to put Hagrid on the bed.
The giant's magic resistance is far beyond that of ordinary wizards. Even if Hagrid is just a half-blood, he cannot be hurt by ordinary spells.
Besides, Argus had no intention of killing him. He just wanted Hagrid to have a good sleep.
After drinking so much wine, he will sleep until at least tomorrow morning.
I missed the patrol tonight perfectly.
…
At night, deep in the Forbidden Forest.
Two figures, one tall and one short, are wandering.
The weird roars around them seem to have no deterrence at all.
The two people don't seem to be walking in the Forbidden Forest, but more like strolling in the back garden.
"Mr. Grindelwald, we are not here to stroll! "
Seeing Argus looking like he was going out for a picnic, Voldemort's forehead was bulging with veins.
If he wasn't so weak that he couldn't even use magic at will.
He would never have brought Argus with him!
Not only is it annoying, but he also has to be on guard against the opponent's backstab at all times!
"Okay, teacher, I will correct my attitude. "
Argus agreed well, but his actions did not change at all.
He still looked like he was trying to fish in troubled waters.
He didn't want to get involved with unicorns at all.
Once cursed by this magical animal, even a wizard of Voldemort's level would find it difficult.
With Voldemort's character, he would never hesitate to do this kind of dirty work that could be thrown to him.
The other party couldn't hold on for a few days anyway, and he just wanted to get more wool, not worth risking his life.
Voldemort was furious but helpless.
Argus was the main force of this trip. If he really fell out with the other party, he would suffer the loss!
After swallowing his anger, Voldemort and Argus continued to explore the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Not far away, the rustling sound attracted Argus's attention.
Just when he was hesitating whether to take action, Voldemort's surprised voice came.
"Found it! It's it! ”
“The goal of our trip!”
