I'm the paper king at Hogwarts

Chapter 160 The reason why a top student is a top student
Hermione had forgotten that this was the first time she had been frightened like this since she came to Hogwarts to study, but she still had the instinct to fight back after being well trained in Louis' mirror world.Unlike those two good-for-nothing men who only knew how to hug and panic, Hermione's first reaction was to pull out her wand and blast it with a thunderbolt.

Explosions are art, an artist named Patrick once said.

An artist with both virtue and art.

The spider ate the pain, made a hissing sound, and quickly retreated along the spider silk that came down.

"Don't be dumb!" Hermione reminded loudly: "You two seem to have it on your head too, I can't see it clearly..."

Only then did Ron come back to his senses, but it was too late, he felt as if he was being hugged by something, long, furry and a little tied up, and the clicking sound was ringing behind his ears.

"Ron!" Hermione yelled anxiously, shooting a blue-white light casually.

There was a dull explosion, and Ron felt as if something exploded behind him, and something wet splashed on his face and body, and the stench almost made him faint .

This feeling was so sour that Ron immediately vomited neatly, as if he wanted to vomit out all the food he ate yesterday.

"Harry..." Ron, who was vomiting, still didn't forget his good brother Harry. He raised his head to look at Harry, only to find that Harry was rolling over like a lazy donkey to avoid the spider's death from falling from the sky. It can even give it a kill weapon.

The big black claw that was disarmed flew out in a whirl and hit Ron's skull.

It hurts.

Hermione gave him a clean up and got rid of the dirt on his body, which stopped his disgusting feeling.

To be honest, spiders are indeed disgusting and scary, but under the threat of life, Ron couldn't care less, and he began to draw out his wand to fight back.

The number of spiders did not seem to be very large, and after a while, no new spiders joined the battle. Looking at the messy battlefield, the three of them looked at each other and breathed a sigh of relief.

Now they don't know whether to thank Louis or scold him - without him for letting the three of them come to the Forbidden Forest, they would not be in danger - but without Louis' dedicated teaching, they would not be able to deal with the situation just now. that kind of situation.

"Let's... why don't we go back." Ron suggested, he was really tired of fighting spiders.

In all fairness, if it wasn't for spiders, Ron would definitely not back down, but there is no way, who made him have arachnophobia?
Spider fear is one of the seven major phobias in the world. People with animal phobia will be afraid of certain animals, such as snakes, insects, and sharp-billed animals.Contact with these animals will make them feel strongly repelled.In severe cases, there will be cold sweats, rapid heartbeat, and even suffocation.

It's not Ron's fault, after all, it's the shadow of his two bastard brothers who scared him when he was a child.

"It's all here, do we really want to give up?" Hermione asked unwillingly.

The same is true for Harry. He organized his words, trying not to hurt Ron: "Ron, we have already reached this point, do you really want to give up?"

Ron shook his head hesitantly.

"I think the best way to get rid of fear is to face it." Harry's tone emphasized his sincerity: "Besides, human life is at stake, and the life of Assistant Teacher Tifa is on our shoulders..."

"Ron, you don't want such a cute and beautiful teacher to be eaten by spiders, do you?"

The last sentence was undoubtedly the most important weight, and Ron was immediately moved. No matter what, the kindness in his heart would not let him ignore Tifa's life.

"Let's go, um, sorry." Ron apologized to the two of them: "Let's move on..."

Yaya barked reluctantly, as a coward, he really didn't want to continue walking with these three deadly iron-headed kids.

But there is no way, it doesn't want a... a dog to go back.

After walking downhill for a long time, the darkness was no longer in front of me. When I looked up, the lush treetops disappeared, replaced by a bright night sky. The moonlight poured down, and I could clearly see the road ahead.

This is a wide small valley, with spider threads randomly scattered everywhere, and under the moonlight, they saw the most terrifying scene imaginable in their lives.

Spiders, there are spiders all over the ground, covering the entire valley densely, each one is as big as a car, black and fluffy, surrounding a misty hemispherical spider web in the middle, I don’t know What are you doing, maybe it is a religious ceremony for the spiders.

The spiders didn't notice what was going on here, they were so engrossed in their ritual that they had nothing else to do.

Yaya, who was still able to bark a couple of times, has completely loosened up, and curled up into a small ball, as cowardly as he wants.

Hermione stared wide-eyed at the grand occasion in front of her, and it took her a while to say a dirty word to express her mood at this moment.

"Jesus his own mother, what the hell is this!" Hermione almost roared, and Ron also used the classic blood mother hell to answer Hermione.

Oh, the sharp-eyed Harry saw that among the group of spiders, there was something tightly wrapped in spider silk, about half the length of a spider - and that thing was writhing constantly.

Hariford was so heartbroken, he hurriedly pushed Hermione and said in a low voice, "Did you see that object wrapped in spider webs in the center of the spider?"

"Where is it?" Hermione didn't see clearly, because she liked reading too much, she was actually a bit short-sighted.

"That's it... see?"

Hermione squinted her eyes and searched for a long time, and even added an eagle eye spell to herself, only then could she see clearly the struggling spider web over there.

"I see." Hermione nodded and said, "Why does it feel a little strange?"

"That's a person! Hermione!" Harry whispered, "That shape, Hermione, only makes sense..."

"Could it be Assistant Tifa?" Ron interjected.

"Even if it's not Assistant Tifa, we can't sit idly by!" Harry's sense of justice came to his mind instantly.

"Your idea is very good, Harry, and I really want to save people." Hermione pointed to the endless spider swarm and said, "But have you ever thought about how we deal with the sea of ​​spiders..."

"Ah, this..." As soon as Hermione said that, the enthusiasm of the two of them was dispelled a lot.

"Then we can't do nothing, can we?"

Compared with Great Britain, which lacks great morals, its people are actually not like his country. At least ordinary people will not see others in trouble and do nothing, and give them all support except help.

"But we can't be reckless," said Harry, remembering the note again, "These spiders should be Hagrid's friends..."

"Hagrid? There are these strange friends?" Ron's voice changed: "If you want me to say it was his bad idea, follow the spider..."

At this time, the giant arachnid finally found them, a spider team surrounded them from behind, and another wave confronted them head-on.

"They should be intelligent creatures. Since they are Hagrid's friends...I'll try to negotiate with them."

Harry held down Hermione's wand, walked forward numbly, and said, "Do you know Aragog?"

The spiders that were still advancing stopped instantly, including the spiders that surrounded them.

Soon, the spiders whispered for a long time and elected a representative.

Harry tried to listen for a long time before realizing that it was talking.It's hard to tell what they're talking about because they're rattling their claws with each word.

"How did you know Aragog?" The spider raised its eight compound eyes with great effort, and looked warily at the human cub in front of it.

"He's a friend of my friend." Harry said, "Hagrid, you should know him. He seems to be in trouble. Let's come and find Aragog."

The spider turned its head, touched its pincers with the other spiders, then turned around and said, "Come with me."

"Uh...we're not in danger, are we?" Harry asked cautiously.

"Do you think you have a choice?"

After the spider's voice fell, the spiders in the entire valley began to flick their pincers in unison, and the uniform voice resounded throughout the valley.

The feeling of horror is indescribable. Think about it, it is almost equivalent to a whole pack of wolves grinding their teeth in front of you.

What's more, judging from the size and group size of the giant eight-eyed spider, I'm afraid it wasn't that the wolves came over and wouldn't be enough for them to squeeze their teeth.

The three of them had no choice but to walk in the middle with Ya Ya.

The three of them stood next to the object that was still twisting, and they could still hear the "whooping" sound it made, as if a person was gagged and unable to speak.

"Assistant Tifa?" Harry asked tentatively.

The object moved more vigorously.

"Don't struggle, if you are Tifa's assistant, you can struggle three times, otherwise you can do whatever you want," Hermione said.

The object really only struggled three times, very honestly, after struggling, it lay down and did not move.

"Just wait a moment, we'll negotiate with the spider and we'll rescue you right away." Hermione comforted Tifa.

Tifa was very obedient, lying down obediently and motionless.

"Aragok, Aragog." The spider who had first communicated with Harry called to the round web.

Then all the spiders started calling Aragog's name in unison with him.

After a while, I walked out of the hemispherical spider web, a huge spider several sizes larger than all the spiders, almost the size of a small truck.

Its body is black and gray, giving the impression of an aging person.Each of the eight eyes on the head with big pincers is covered with white cloud, most likely it is old blind.

"What's the matter?" he asked, his voice was old and unpleasant, and Harry could tell that Aragog's tone was like that of Ron who had been disturbed from his sleep. A blood mother hell, that is the spider version of Ron.

"Man..." replied the spider.

"Is it Hagrid? How many times have I said, don't show hostility to Hagrid, he is our family's benefactor..." Aragog said, approaching Harry, his eight milky white eyes were blank and looking forward Looking around, it seemed that he missed Hagrid a lot.

"No, it's not." The spider quickly explained, "It's a stranger."

Aragog's mood immediately turned into impatience: "Are you looking for me for this little thing? I'm sleeping, just kill me... Oh, remember to leave me a thigh."

Aragog's voice was so loud that not only Harry, but even Ron and Hermione could hear it clearly. The three of them suddenly felt as if they had fallen into an ice cave, and their hearts were beating loudly, as if they were going to come out of their throats. Same.

As soon as Harry heard it was going to be bad, he quickly argued: "We are Hagrid's friends, don't kill us..."

Click, click, click, just like Morse code, the acromantulas seemed to communicate by rubbing their pincers together, and the sound of spiders rubbing their pincers was everywhere in the depression.

Aragog hesitated. He asked suspiciously, "Hagrid never sent anyone to the Depression."

"Hagrid is in trouble." Harry said quickly and breathlessly, "That's why we came to you for help."

"Trouble?" Aragog asked, and Harry thought it wasn't a hallucination. He could hear the concern in the spider's tone, after all, its claws began to click rapidly.

"But why did he send you?"

Harry's mind was spinning rapidly. At this moment, a man's instinct allowed him to quickly make up a lie. He weighed the new story a little bit, then suppressed his fear as much as possible, and said in a calm tone: "In school, someone recently released a monster. Many students were petrified because of the monster, and one student was taken away. So Hagrid decided to hunt the monster in the secret room, but he felt that he should not be the opponent. , so let us come to the Forbidden Forest and seek the help of your... well, the Clan."

It's a pity that this eloquence is not listed on Zhihu.

Thank you for sharing your current story, in the spider cave, just off the plane...

"Nonsense! That was many years ago, 50 years ago!" Aragog waved his pincers angrily: "You are deceiving me, human cub, I remember very clearly that it was because of this incident that they They just let me leave the school, and they believed that I was the monster in the so-called Chamber of Secrets, thinking that Hagrid opened the Chamber of Secrets and let me out, but Hagrid was wronged!"

"Yes, yes, Hagrid told us about this." The quick-witted Hermione continued, pretending to be suddenly enlightened: "No wonder Hagrid was talking about rectifying Aragog's name and so on. The words turned out to be..."

Aragog suddenly stopped waving his claws, and he asked hesitantly, "Hagrid... Hagrid really said that?"

"Yeah! I remember it very clearly!" Hermione said firmly.

Aragog was silent for a while, and said in a low voice: "When I met Hagrid, he was just a child. He took me in and fed me the crumbs on the dining table—it should be said that he is my best friend." Friend of mine, he's a good guy too, but someone found me, a bad boy named Tom Riddle, and he slandered me and made me responsible for a girl's death—fucking farts, I said to Hagrid , Hagrid, you know me, if I did it, what you'll see is a small ball of cobwebs and melted corpses..."

"But only Hagrid believed me, and he hid me, and I've been out here in the woods ever since, and Hagrid came to see me a lot, and he even found me a wife—you see, we How prosperous your family is now, it's all thanks to Hagrid."

Speaking of which, all the spiders waved their pincers excitedly and made clicking sounds, as if they were catering to Aragog's words that "the family is thriving", which is really creepy.

"But I never hurt anyone! I respect Hagrid, and I don't want to hurt his kind...I think it's because of this that he is willing to justify my name..."

"Then Hagrid is in danger now, aren't you going to help him?" Harry choked up, forcing out this sentence.

This time it was good, there was a clacking sound, and countless long legs were moving rustlingly, and huge black shadows were dangling around.

"The monster in the secret room is the ancient creature that we spiders fear most! It is our natural enemy!" Aragog's voice was filled with fear: "You can't force me to help Hagrid, that beast was active in the castle at that time At that time, I begged Hagrid to let me go... No, even if Hagrid is kind to me, we can't help him because of the suppression in his blood."

When Aragog said this, his tone was very excited.

"What the hell is that monster, and why does it scare you so much?" Harry asked curiously.

It was good that the words were silent, but as soon as the words came out, the commotion among the spiders became even more chaotic, and Aragog said emotionally: "We won't tell its name! I didn't even tell Hagrid its name, even though he had more than Asked me once, but I dare not tell him!"

Harry didn't want to continue the conversation, he thought it was time to say goodbye.

"Well, since you don't intend to help your benefactor, then we can only go back to the Chamber of Secrets to fight with him." Harry looked righteous, but his guilt was visible to the naked eye.

At the same time, the surrounding leaves were rustling, and the rustling sound became more intense.

"Go? I don't think it will work..." Aragog said slowly.

"Why?" Harry was in a hurry, why don't you talk about Wood, you old fellow?

"My sons and daughters obey my orders and don't hurt Hagrid, but I can't stop them from enjoying other fresh human flesh when it comes to your door, so...adios, Hagrid's friend..."

Aragog also spoke Spanish with great style.

Almost instantly, the spiders surrounded them from all directions, forming a solid wall of copper and iron. Their big pincers crackled, and countless pairs of eyes glowed with dark light, shining like stars in the sky, but they were ugly and disgusting. .

Harry was desperate. The acromantulas in front of him didn't seem to want to let them go, but there was nothing he could do.

When he was desperate, he heard Hermione's sharp cry.

"Aragok—"

When Aragog heard the strange shout, he froze in place. He subconsciously turned around and faced the direction of the sound—even though he was blind.

In Harry's eyes, Hermione almost turned into an afterimage and rushed towards Aragog.
