Homecoming from Hogwarts

Chapter 55 Aragog the Violent
To Hagrid, the Ministry of Magic's investigator was scary, because the investigator had the right to send him back to Azkaban.

The investigator of the school board is very troublesome, because Amosta can expel him from Hogwarts on behalf of the school board. Although Hagrid knew that Headmaster Dumbledore would definitely speak for him, it was still a very serious matter. troublesome thing.

Amosta and Hagrid walked in the depths of the Forbidden Forest with difficulty. Although it was daytime, the dense forest blocked most of the light from the sky. The wand lights up to illuminate itself.

It was so quiet that even if you listened carefully, you couldn't hear any other sound except the snapping of branches and the crackling of rainwater on leaves.

Hagrid seemed to be familiar with this place, he jumped down from a slanted tree trunk, looked around, panted heavily and waved at Amosta,

"This way, Professor Blaine"

It was another 10 minutes of hard walking. The place had been deserted for a long time, and the ground was covered with a carpet of rotting leaves several feet thick. Every time I stepped on it, it was like sinking into a mud pit.

"I think your efforts are wasted, Professor." Because of the huge weight, Hagrid sank deeper with each foot. In order to ensure that he would not be completely swallowed by the rotten leaves like quicksand, Hagrid had to grab while moving forward with the tree trunk lying overhead,
"I've asked it many times, Professor Brian, but it's still unwilling to tell. It only says that the monster in the castle is a very terrifying ancient creature, and it's the natural enemy of spiders. It won't tell anything about the rest. Me, the way I see it, it's not likely to tell anyone--"

"Try it, Hagrid."

Compared to Hagrid's embarrassment, Amosta's actions were much more graceful. He cast a spell on himself and lost most of his body weight, which allowed Amosta to almost glide forward.

"I can't give up any clues."

"Then you have to be mentally prepared, Professor Brian, because Aragog is too old to move around, Aragog's temper has become more and more irritable in the past few years. I can't guarantee that I can appease its anger. "

"That's also nothing to worry about, Hagrid, sometimes."

Amosta jumped over a small puddle with ease, and gave Hagrid a hand as he passed by.
"I'd be very short-tempered, too."

When the surrounding trees gradually thinned out, the ground began to slope downward, and a black shadow the size of a stone pier loomed behind the bushes covered with thorny vines, Amosta knew that the destination of this trip was coming soon.

Amosta stood on the edge of a crater-like depression, raised his glowing magic wand and looked down. In the large pit with sparse forests, hundreds of spiders lived. These spiders were not fluffy little creatures. The stuff, each of them, has the same size as the eight-eyed spider he caught before.

From the moment Amostar appeared, this quiet pit suddenly erupted with a series of rattling sounds, resounding through the silent jungle.

"who is it?"

In the middle of the depression, among the misty hemispherical spider webs, a spider the size of an African elephant emerged very slowly. Its body color was different from other spiders, it was black with gray in it. Each eye of Da'ao's ugly head was covered with a layer of white, and it seemed that he could no longer see clearly.

"Who interrupted my slumber, did Hagrid come!"

The big spider asked in a high-pitched voice like a blackboard hanging from nail clippers.

Click click click click!

A swarm of spiders around answered the question in this unique language.

"Oh, is that right, a stranger came here, oh, then I'm sorry", Aragog's two big turtles moved quickly, giving its opinion,

"Children, what are you waiting for?"

Looking at the spiders who could no longer restrain their instincts, Amosta narrowed his eyes, secretly thinking about how much venom he could get if he really did it later.

"Oh, wait, Aragog, wait first!"

At this time, Hagrid, who seemed to have taken a bath in the mud, finally rushed over out of breath, "It's me, I'm Hagrid, Aragog!"

The old spider in the middle of the web heard this familiar voice, and the trembling big claw stopped for a moment, and then the piercing voice sounded a little more friendly.
"Oh, sorry, Hagrid, it was you, I thought a stranger had broken into my family territory.
So, about what I mentioned to you last time, those centaurs are hunting my children, have you negotiated with them, if they don't restrain their actions, Hagrid, I will have to fight back. "

"Actually, Aragog, I heard a completely different story from the centaurs, and they thought well, I'll go and ask you again, Aragog, I have something else to do here today. Ask you."

Hagrid is like the defender of order in this Forbidden Forest. Every magical creature with wisdom, no matter whether they like wizards or not, maintains the most basic respect for Hagrid.

The smaller spiders around used their slender legs to support their bodies to swim around in the big pit. The rustling sounds sounded very restless, and they continued to pass on to Aragog, who was already blind. information.

"Hagrid!"

The voice of Aragog, who had suppressed his hostility just now, sounded furious again. It pointed its eight blindfolded eyes at Amosta's direction and asked angrily,

"Did you bring anyone else, Hagrid, you promised me you wouldn't!"

It seems that this old spider is really not that easy to communicate with, Amosta thought so, standing aside silently watching Hagrid communicate with it.

"Professor Bryan is also the investigator sent by the Hogwarts Board of Trustees to enter the school's investigation chamber. He insists on talking to you face to face. Aragog, I hope you can."

"The secret room!"

Before Hagrid finished speaking, Aragog's emotions immediately became agitated. Amidst the angry clicks it made, many spiders surrounded Amostar and Hagrid from all directions, and they stayed at a distance from him. There are more intensive rustling sounds from two dozen feet away, as long as there is an order, they will immediately rush forward!
"I've said it many times, Hagrid, we are afraid of that monster. We will never mention the name of that ancient creature to outsiders. If too many wizards know about it, the wizards will covet its power and use it to destroy us!"

Oh, this logic is quite strange!

Amosta couldn't help smiling, and then he saw Hagrid shrugging his shoulders helplessly,

"Look, the result is like this, Professor Bryan, you all know that if it was willing to confess that monster, maybe I wouldn't be kicked out of Hogwarts."

"Don't give up so easily, Hagrid—"

Amosta took two steps forward with a relaxed tone,
"Let me try to communicate with it."
