To be honest, Hagrid did cry a lot, but it was mostly because of emotional issues.
For example, he was touched by everyone's trust in him, or mentioned his family and parents' past, or …
He did not expect that Elwyn, Harry, Hermione, and Ron not to take his class would make him so sad.
Or maybe it was because of something else that happened to happen at the same time!
Hermione carefully put her arm around Hagrid's trembling shoulder and asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's, it's him …" Hagrid sobbed, tears flowing from his small black eyes. He wiped his face with his apron. "It's, it's Aragok. I think he's dying. Ever since his nest collapsed and Elwyn rescued him, he has been in poor condition. This summer, he was sick for the whole summer. I wasn't there then, so I couldn't take care of him. It wasn't until recently that I found out he was dying. I don't know, if he … what should I do? We've been together for so long … "
Hermione patted Hagrid's shoulder, not knowing what to say.
Harry understood her feelings. He knew that Hagrid had once given a teddy bear to a fierce little fire dragon, and he had seen Hagrid humming to the giant scorpions with suckers and stings, and trying to reason with his half-brother, the cruel giant. But among all the behemoths that Hagrid liked, this was the most difficult to understand: Aragok, a giant talking spider that lived in the depths of the Forbidden Forest.
Among them, Elwyn was the most familiar with Aragok, but he did not know what to say.
In essence, Aragok's weakness had something to do with him.
Three years ago, it was he who destroyed the ruins under the nest and the eyeball monster inside. Without the source of dark energy, Aragok was just an ordinary eight-eyed spider. It was incredible that he could hold on for so long!
Come to think of it, even without Elwyn, Aragok would have died by now. As the power of the seal left by Slytherin weakened, the power of the eyeball monster increased. There was no point in continuing to divide its power to enslave Aragok and the eight-eyed spider. The eight-eyed spider was of less and less help to it.
It would probably give up on the eight-eyed spiders and choose new slaves to serve it, slaves that would be more helpful to it, such as wizards …
"Don't be like this, Hagrid. W-what can we do?" Hermione asked sadly.
"I'm afraid it's impossible, Hermione!" Hagrid sobbed as he tried to hold back his tears. "I've asked Dumbledore to take a look, but it's useless. Poor Aragok. His nest has collapsed, his tribe is finished, and most of his descendants are dead. Now even he …"
He wiped away his tears and blew his nose on his apron.
"Thank you for saying that, Hermione. This is very important to me!" He said, looking up at them. "Dumbledore said he might not survive the winter. If you want, you can go see him. Especially you, Elwyn. You saved his life before, and he has been very grateful to you. Every time I go to see him, old Aragok will ask me about you. "
The four of them looked at each other, and the atmosphere became a little gloomy. Everyone knew what was going on.
The old spider was not grateful to Elwyn, but hated him. They did not tell Hagrid what happened in the nest. Instead, they told him that the nest had collapsed, and Elwyn happened to be there and saved it …
Aragok must have hated Elwyn. He did not have the eyeball in his mind. The power of the monster was very evil, and the idea of turning him and his descendants into terrible creatures was not something bad. Instead, he would be happy with this power.
And Elwyn, who destroyed all of this and killed a large number of Aragok's descendants, was his biggest enemy!
If the conditions allowed, Aragok would definitely bite him to death before he left this world.
Elwyn did not want to see the spider, but Hagrid was looking at him expectantly. It was difficult to refuse.
Aragok did not have the energy to hurt them now. Going to see him would be helping Hagrid.
"If time permits, we will go!" Elwyn said.
"Oh, thank you, Elwyn. I don't know how to thank you. You have helped me so much!" Hagrid said.
After that, the atmosphere became much more relaxed!
Because Hagrid thought they were going to visit Aragok, they immediately forgave him for not choosing his class and returned to normal.
"Hey, I knew you would find it difficult to fit me into your schedule!" He said gruffly, pouring more tea for them. "Even if you use the time converter, it will be difficult!"
"We don't need it." Hermione said, "There is no way to apply again. After the summer incident, the time converters in the Ministry's inventory were all smashed. It was written in the newspapers."
Because of history, the British Ministry of Magic kept all the time converters in the world.
In theory, after the time converters of the Ministry of Magic were smashed, there should be no more time converters in the world of magic!
But this was certainly not absolute. The time converters in Elwyn's hands were not complete.
They had to find other parts to make it stronger.
There was also the incident that happened 15 years later. The daughter of the Lord Voldemort wanted to go back to the past to change history.
All these phenomena showed that there were other time converters scattered in other places, waiting to be discovered.
"Because of this, you can't choose my class!" Hagrid said with a sudden realization. "The other classes are much more useful than the protection of magical creatures. If you like, you can come and visit me and the animals at any time. There is no need to specially sign up. I should have thought of this. I'm sorry, just now … You know, I was just worried about Aragok, but I do have some doubts. Since Professor Grapeland has taught you before … "
They immediately started to criticize Professor Grapeland, who had taken over Hagrid's classes several times. They insisted that she was a particularly terrible teacher. Especially after knowing that they also did not sign up for her advanced class, Hagrid became even happier!
He also asked them why Ron did not come and about the Quidditch trial that had just ended.
As for Elaine's request to visit Glop, it made Hagrid so excited that he could not even speak.
In the end, when dusk fell, Hagrid stood outside the house and waved goodbye to them, he seemed to be in a much better mood.
