I originally wanted to sell it for some Galleons, but I never found the opportunity. Now I can use it.
In addition, Kyle really wanted to help Aragog. After all, he wanted to harvest another wave of venom before graduation, so it was only right for him to help get some tonic.
"Forget it." Kyle glanced at the students gathered in the pumpkin patch. "There's still some time before get out of class ends. If we start now, I should be able to give it to you when get out of class is over. I'll find a place first..."
"No need to look for it." Hagrid stopped Kyle, "You can go to my cabin. It's warm there and no one can disturb you."
"Okay." Kyle nodded, turned around and walked into the wooden house next to him.
The fire was burning brightly in the room, and as soon as I opened the door, a wave of heat rushed over me.
But such a hot stove was definitely unusable, so Kyle could only change a smaller heating stove next to it and set up a crucible on it.
And Hagrid was standing at the door, guarding the door while peeking in from the window from time to time.
This went on until thirty minutes later, when the get out of class was over and Kyle just happened to come out of the cabin and handed him a large bottle of blue tonic.
"Three months of these should be enough."
"Thank you, Kyle." Hagrid said happily, took the bottle and ran into the Forbidden Forest.
"What's wrong with him?" Kangna came over and asked curiously: "What did you give him, a magic potion?"
"It's spider tonic." Kyle said, "Hagrid raised a group of Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest."
When she heard the name Acromantula, Kangna's expression suddenly changed... Even Kyle couldn't accept a spider as big as a car, let alone Kangna, a witch.
"You can also brew spider tonic?" She looked at Kyle incredulously.
"There's nothing you can do about it. Who makes their venom so valuable?" Kyle shrugged, "Don't tell Professor Snape, otherwise I won't be able to share the venom."
"Isn't that Hagrid's?" Connor asked.
"There is no conflict." Kyle put away the empty crucible and walked out of the cabin. "If the spiders gave it to me voluntarily, I can't refuse it."
Kangna curled her lips, not believing a word of what Kyle said.
Although she doesn't like Acromantula, she has learned a little about it because of the magic potion. That creature has a ferocious character and is extremely aggressive towards wizards.
Professor Snape also specifically reminded her that she could just buy some special potion ingredients directly and never think about saving money.
Acromantula venom is one of them.
But Kyle just smiled mysteriously and did not explain.
Of course he has his own tricks, but this method is not suitable for Kangna. He can do it by himself.
After leaving the wooden house, the two followed a long row of footprints on the field and returned to Hogwarts Castle.
When they arrived at the hallway, they happened to meet Hermione, Harry and Ron walking side by side from the staircase. The three seemed to be arguing.
"No one requires you to stay and help." Hermione looked at Ron with a hint of impatience in her tone, "But can you please stop making bad ideas?"
"bad idea?"
Ron screamed: "Am I right? Harry is Slughorn's little potion prince. As long as Harry asks, he will definitely not refuse."
"You think Professor Slughorn can't see that, isn't that Harry's true level?" Hermione became even more impatient, "And even Dumbledore can't get it. He must be determined to hide the truth, and How would you tell a student.
"Horcrux... Horcrux... I have never heard of it. It must be a very advanced magic. I think it will be difficult to get this information. I must think of a strategy."
"Why do you need so much trouble? You just think too much!"
"It's better than you not thinking about anything." Hermione suddenly became furious.
"Why didn't I think about it..." Ron was also angry.
While the two were arguing, Harry stood by and watched them helplessly. It was obvious that he was used to this kind of quarrel.
Whenever he wanted to ask for some advice, the two would quarrel because of different opinions.
However, the three of them soon noticed Kyle and Kangna walking towards them. Whether it was out of confidentiality or something else, they changed the topic in a tacit understanding.
"Ron, this is the point of the Potions homework." Hermione's tone changed and she said slightly stiffly: "Remember to finish writing quickly. Professor Slughorn will check it in the next class. You can't do it again." Points will be deducted from Gryffindor for this."
"Yeah, that's right." Ron said equally stiffly, "But if you could lend me your homework..."
"Don't even think about it!"
Kyle shook his head slightly after listening to their words. He had to say that their ability to change the topic was really not very good.
The Horcrux that was the focus of Potions homework? How did they say this?
This is no longer a potions class, but a cram school set up by Voldemort.
But in order not to embarrass them too much, Kyle did not reveal anything. He walked over and said hello to them as if he hadn't heard anything, and then turned around and walked into the auditorium.
"Hermione, actually you don't have to be like this." After Kyle walked away, Harry whispered: "Kyle also knows about the Horcruxes. The last time Dumbledore showed me that memory, he Also there.”
"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Hermione glared at Harry. Fortunately, she thought her change of topic was seamless just now, but now it turned into a joke.
"You didn't give me this chance either." Harry whispered.
He only noticed that Kyle was opposite when Hermione suddenly changed the subject. There was no time to remind Hermione.
However, Harry's explanation obviously did not satisfy Hermione. Her face turned red and she glared at him again angrily.
"Wait, Harry." At this time, Ron thought of something and said, "Since Kyle also knows about Horcruxes, why don't you ask him, he must know something."
"I, I can't say it." Harry shook his head and whispered: "I don't know what's going on... When facing Kyle, I always feel that I am in front of a professor, of course. , it’s just a feeling.”
"Really?" Ron blinked, "Why don't I think so."
"Maybe it's because I've seen him in the principal's office more times." Harry thought for a moment, "You also know that few students can go there, right?
"But Kyle has been there many times, and even the previous principals know him."
"That would be easier." Ron said, "You don't have to ask, just ask Kyle to ask Slughorn about the Horcrux. In this way, the possibility of success will be greater." ”
Harry just shook his head and said nothing.
Reason told him that Ron was right. With Kyle's help, he probably wouldn't have to worry about this matter. Kyle must have a way to get Slughorn's real memory.
But from the bottom of his heart, he didn't want to do it, and Harry couldn't explain why. Maybe it was because this was the first time Dumbledore had given him a task, and he wanted to complete it by himself.
You can try Ron's method first...
Harry thought to himself.
Maybe he could ask Slughorn directly after the next Potions class. After all, he couldn't think of any better idea besides this.

Chapter 744 Two bottles of love potion
"Kyle, you must come to the party tomorrow."
After the potions class ended, Slughorn stopped Kyle who was about to leave and said: "This time is to celebrate Mr. Shabinibres's seventeenth birthday. You will definitely come, right? "
He looked like he was shaking his head and looking very happy, as if the person whose birthday was about to be celebrated was him.
Kyle, who was stopped by him, just nodded and said, "Of course, Professor Slughorn, I will participate."
"I knew it." Slughorn smiled even more happily, "The coming of age of a wizard is a big day, and many people will come to attend. You definitely don't want to miss it.
"Then I'll prepare the drinks for the party first. I hope Three Broomsticks still has some good old wine..."
Slughorn fastened the gold buckle of his dragon-skin briefcase and headed out.
"Wait a minute, professor, I want to ask a question." Kyle suddenly stopped him.
"Then ask, kid, ask..." Slughorn turned his head and said kindly.
"Professor, do you know...Horcruxes?"
Slughorn froze, his hand stopped in mid-air, and his round face seemed to sink.
It's strange that a person who was energetic just now seems to have become sluggish in an instant, as if he hasn't slept in several days.
He licked his lips and asked in a hoarse voice: "You, what did you just say?"
"Horcrux, Professor." Kyle repeated again, "I saw this in a book and was curious."
"Dumbledore asked you to come?" Slughorn asked in a low voice, but his tone was very firm. "Dumbledore showed you the memory... right? He asked you to ask me!"
Slughorn's eyes were filled with shock and fear, and sweat began to form on his forehead.
"What memory? Does Professor Dumbledore know this too?" Kyle asked doubtfully.
"You don't know?" Slughorn was stunned for a moment, took out a handkerchief from his breast pocket and wiped his forehead.
"Is there anything I should know?" Kyle said, "Like I just said, I read it in a book."
"What book!" Slughorn asked: "I'm sure there won't be any records about that kind of thing in the Hogwarts library. You can't fool me. It must be Dumbledore..."
"No, professor, I saw it from Nicolas Flamel." Kyle interrupted him and said: "I found a copy of "Advanced Black Magic Revealed" in his private library. The content is really interesting.
"It's just that some of the questions are too general and I can't quite understand them. Horcruxes are among them."
"I have no comment!" Slughorn said softly, wiping his sweating forehead again, "You've got the wrong person, Kyle, I know nothing about Horcruxes... nothing at all! "
Slughorn repeated the last sentence forcefully, as if he wanted to emphasize something.
Then he grabbed the fire dragon leather briefcase, randomly stuffed the handkerchief into his pocket, and started to walk out.
But after reaching the door, Slughorn suddenly stopped again.
He seemed to have thought of something, took a deep breath and turned around again to look at Kyle.
Like, so similar...
At this moment, Slughorn seemed to see two figures overlapping.
He is equally talented, and his whole body shines with a blinding light, as if he is incompatible with the other people in Hogwarts.
And just like that man, he also noticed the Horcrux...
"I advise you not to waste your time on this, Kyle. It's not something you should know."
Slughorn said seriously: "You should use your energy on other things, such as...well, Quidditch is good, I remember you are a good chaser.
"If you are willing, I can recommend you to the Holyhead Harpies, where you will definitely become a famous professional Quidditch player."
Slughorn didn't give Kyle a chance to speak.
