Chapter 282: Clichés
What you think of as an eight-eyed spider is no threat, it's just your own needle!
Hearing Hagrid's answer, William rolled his eyes helplessly, he felt that Hagrid's perception of dangerous creatures was really a little biased, how could the professor of the protection of magical creatures class move a hippogriff to the students for the first time!
Hagrid's love for fangs, claws, and venom was so strong that he often overlooked the dangers of creatures with these traits.
Seeing that William didn't bother himself, Hagrid said to himself. "But it was all ruined by that damn Tom Riddle."
"He found out my secret and told the headmaster at the time, and at that time there was a lot of talk about the secret room, and the students and professors were very worried, because one of the students was killed, and the Aurors from the Ministry of Magic came many times, and they searched the whole castle but found nothing."
"Didn't they consider that the eight-eyed spider simply had the ability to petrify people to death? Their prey is prey by restraining their prey with a spider's web, then injecting venom into the prey, and then using its large crow to brutally dissect the prey. ”
"You know a lot about the eight-eyed spider." Hagrid couldn't help but speak.
"Thanks to Professor Scamander's writings, I do know a few things about the eight-eyed spider, which grows mainly deep in the dense rainforests of southern Asia and is a very ferocious apex predator.
Moving on to your business, Hagrid. Didn't the Ministry of Magic make a more rigorous judgment? William looked at Hagrid, who was a little off track, and quickly interrupted his thoughts.
"Hmm, okay." Hagrid paused and continued, "Of course they didn't think about it that much, all those Ministry of Magic rice buckets thought about was to quell the negative effects of the attack as soon as possible.
Headmaster Duper also succumbed to their coercion, and he expelled me from the school for keeping dangerous creatures, and after that, there was indeed no news of the Chamber of Secrets and the attack, as if everything had really disappeared.
Now people are even more suspicious that I opened the secret room, but I didn't, I didn't kill the girl! Hagrid lowered his head in pain, the feeling of being suspected by everyone must have been very uncomfortable.
"I know, you can't be the one who opened the Chamber of Secrets, Hagrid I'm sure what you say is true." William muttered silently to himself as he comforted Hagrid.
Can you please tell me something I don't know, such as the range of the eight-eyed spider in the Forbidden Forest.
"And what about the end of Aragog?" He asked.
"I put it in the Forbidden Forest, before those Aurors from the Ministry of Magic found it. Dumbledore had always believed that I had been wronged, and he had made me a Hogwarts hunting ground warden so that I wouldn't leave school early. ”
"And guess what? I also got a wife for it! Hagrid's tone was visibly cheerful.
"It was the happiest time of my life."
"And then they've been making people in the depths of the Forbidden Forest? Oh no, spiders? William asked.
Hagrid: Have you not heard of invasive species?
In the dense woods of Hogwarts, the eight-eyed spider was clearly at the top of the food chain, not to mention that Hagrid had even found him a wife!
Come on, you haven't found a wife yet!
No creature could withstand the onslaught of the endless swarm, and after all these years, Merlin knew how many generations Alagog had!
An adult female eight-eyed spider can lay nearly 100 eggs at a time, and in just six to eight weeks, they will hatch a group of baby spiders waiting to be fed.
In just a few months, these newborn creatures will become the most fearsome predators in the Forbidden Forest, and they will then lay more eggs by mating.
This is an exponential increase, and after so many years, Merlin may not be able to count how many spiders there are in the Forbidden Forest.
"yes, they've grown into a large spider colony now!" Hagrid smugly boasted to William that he didn't realize the importance of the matter.
"So, are the dangerous eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest actually your pets, the descendants of the spider named Aragog?"
"Well, yes, yes." Hearing William's questioning tone, Hagrid wiped the cold sweat from his forehead a little nervously.
"What if those spiders break out of the Forbidden Forest?"
"No way, those spiders all live in the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest, and they have an agreement with Dumbledore, and with Aragog's control, they won't easily come to the edge of the Forbidden Forest, let alone the castle." Hagrid replied with a grin.
Out of trust in Dumbledore and Aragog, this honest stupid big man didn't take the issue to heart at all.
Seeing Hagrid's very proud look, William felt that it was time for him to start talking, and he asked Hagrid with a pretended curiosity.
"Where the hell do those spiders live in the Forbidden Forest? And you said that Headmaster Dumbledore had an agreement with them, does the Headmaster know about these things? ”
"Of course, of course Headmaster Dumbledore knew, and he couldn't hide this kind of thing from him at all. The spiders lived in the depths of the Forbidden Forest, northwest of the centaur tribe, and Headmaster Dumbledore had carved out a large area of land for these spiders. The unsuspecting Hagrid said with a big grin, and in his opinion, William probably didn't even know the location of the centaur tribe.
You can tell him these things casually.
What he never expected was that as early as the end of the first grade, William had already figured out the location of the centaur tribe, and even secretly took a well-preserved unicorn corpse from there.
"This matter was negotiated at my urging!" He couldn't stop showing off to William.
"Because Aragog doesn't trust anyone but me, I have to talk to them as an intermediary."
Finally figured out the location of the eight-eyed spiders.
Next, he only needed to plan well to start scouting, and William couldn't help but feel a little happy in his heart.
He was going to wait until Jupiter came back, so that the little one could scout over there, and Blake, and the two of them could go to the Forbidden Forest together.
A golden eagle with a black cat on its back?
It's an interesting combination to think about.
