Chapter 293: Brother Ala, Our Friend
In the silent forest, two flashes of light kept shuttling, and finally stopped under a large tree hugged by three people, revealing an old woman and a middle-aged man in a black robe.
"Snape, what do you think Professor Qin, it's just nonsense to let the students come to the forest!" The old woman looked up at the forest around her, her calm expression barely concealing her dissatisfaction.
"What do you think!" The black-robed man paused slightly, and said in a paused tone; "In Professor Qin's eyes, all I see is a disregard for life, maybe in his eyes this is just a joke, just to find a trace of fun in it!"
"Laugh and talk! Fun! Professor McGonagall looked at Snape disapprovingly and said heavily; There are at least a thousand students gathered in this forest, does he want to treat the lives of these students as child's play! ”
"As I say bluntly, I'm afraid the truth of the truth is really not much different from what you imagined!" Snape nodded quietly at Professor McGonagall, a little uncertain.
Professor McGonagall sighed and said helplessly; "The dense woods are hiding the qiē below, so let's split up and bring the students together as much as possible! We are mentors in Hogwarts, what should we do. ”
Snape nodded at Professor McGonagall's words, and with a flick of his body swooped towards another position, disappearing from Professor McGonagall's sight in an instant.
As the instructors took their own actions, the large number of students in the forest also ushered in their own challenges. But the outer edge of the forest is safe after all, of course, at least for now. As for some common ordinary beasts such as wild wolves and black bears, they were powerless in front of the wizards in groups of three or five. After the initial scramble, the students who suppressed their fears unleashed their magic, easily defeating those who were invincible in the eyes of ordinary people, greatly boosting the self-confidence of these young wizards.
However, unlike the general situation, Harry, who was born unwilling to be ordinary, walked towards the depths of the forest by accident after turning around in the arrangement of fate.
"Harry, are you sure this is the road to the castle! How did I notice that the surroundings were getting darker and darker, and the trees around me were getting more luxuriant! Ron followed behind Harry, his wand holding the magic of fluorescence, his mouth full of bitterness.
"Ron, it's the right way, and the darkness around is just because it's dark!" Harry followed the light from his wand and confidently answered Ron's doubts.
"Rustle, rustle"
The four of them kept walking through the dim forest, and as time passed, the scenery ahead that could still be vaguely seen was also completely set by the sun, and the distance in front of them was more than ten meters away, and they could only see it vaguely with the help of the light from the magic wand.
"Wait Harry, something is wrong!" While Harry was still holding his opinion, Hermione suddenly crouched down as she passed by a large tree, carefully on the ground, not knowing what she was looking at.
"Hermione, what's wrong!" As Hermione paused, the entire group also stopped, and several people gathered around Hermione to watch her movements strangely.
"Look what this is!" Hermione stood up after a moment of fuss on the ground, and when she did, there was a large, colorful mushroom in her hand.
"Mushrooms! Can it still be bread? Ron grumbled disapprovingly, then rubbed his empty belly. To be honest, Ron hadn't eaten a bite since after noon, and his stomach was already hungry.
"It's spider mushrooms, I've seen this thing in books, it's one of the spiders' favorite things. It is their main source of food in the event of food shortages. And it is also explained in the book that there is only one kind of spider that likes to eat this mushroom, and that is the spider family called Aracha in the Forbidden Forest. Before Hermione could speak, Luna on the side explained.
"What's this! We're not here to find spiders! Ron glanced at the large mushroom in Hermione's hand, urging everyone to hurry up and get on their way.
"What are you doing in class! Spider mushrooms are the companion food of the Spicy Spider, and they don't go too far apart! Hermione said, raising her hand and giving Ron a blow, hitting Ron with his head in the face.
"I'm not looking at you yet!" Ron touched his head and muttered a little frustratedly.
"I heard from Hagrid, who said that in the Forbidden Forest, he had a spider friend named Arago who could give us some guidance. However, at that time, it was just in time for Professor Qin to become the dean, and all the students were required to observe at the school, so I didn't pay attention to this matter! Harry looked at the mushroom in Hermione's hand and said hesitantly.
"Harry, you can't really get lost, take us to the depths of the forest!" Ron looked at Harry with a blank expression.
"Actually, it's not the depths, because Hagrid said that the location of Aragor should be at the junction of the edge and the depths!" Harry scratched his head and said something that made Ron pale.
"Kids, are you talking about Hagrid! What's wrong with him, I haven't seen him in a long time, is something wrong! As soon as Harry finished speaking, an old voice came from the bottom of the low slope not far away.
The voice of the old man accompanied the gloomy forest, which made the atmosphere in the field particularly eerie.
"Who is it! Who's there? Listening to the sudden appearance of the old voice, Harry and the others couldn't help but be shocked.
"Me! I'm Brother Alam! ”
"Click, click" With the old voice, countless clicks that seemed to be made by tiptoes resounded in the ears of the four Harry, and countless tire-sized spiders were quickly waving their long legs from the gentle slope and quickly crawling out.
"Brother Ala, which one is you!" Ron, who was most afraid of spiders, looked at the spiders who kept crawling out of the gentle slope with an ugly face, and first found the figure of Ah Ra from them.
There were two dull crashing sounds on the gentle slope, and not long after the crash sounded, a large spider stretched out eight or nine meters long and shaped like a heavy tank crawled out with a bang.
"You call me!" The giant compound eyes of the big spider stared at Harry and the others, flashing with a cold and cruel look.
"No, you must have misheard. It's getting late, so go back and rest! No need to get up and greet us! Ron looked at the huge spider in front of him, his teeth chattered in fright, and he said breathlessly.
"Stop talking, let's go!" Harry looked at the dense spiders, pulled the corners of Ron's clothes, and slowly retreated backwards.
"Let's go!" Brother Ah looked at the four people in front of him, the two huge jaws collided up and down, and said in a deep voice; "Don't hurry, I don't know anything about Hagrid yet!"
"Some people say that Hagrid opened the secret room fifty years ago and released the monsters inside to attack the students, so he was captured by Mr. Conerius of the Ministry of Magic and taken to Azkaban!" Harry said in a hurried tone, and after saying that, he waved his hand briskly at Arago, and smiled reluctantly as he stepped back; "It's okay now, we still won't bother you, you can rest early!"
"Knock knock" As Harry and the others retreated, Arogo also walked up towards the four of them.
"No, you really don't need to send it, you are busy, don't worry about us!" Harry said in unison, and after finishing speaking, he glanced at each other, turned around and ran, looking like he wanted to stretch out a few more legs.
"Don't be in a hurry! You have brought me such important news, I should treat you well! Brother Ah said no more, and the dense spiders around him pounced like a tide, surrounding Harry and the others.
"Ara, we're Hogwarts students, and we're friends with Hagrid! What do you want to do, you're going to get in trouble! Hermione stepped back as she raised her wand and threatened the spiders that were closing in like a tide.
"Because of me, my kids don't do anything to Hagrid. But you, as Hagrid's friends, should be able to understand my suffering! After Brother Ah finished speaking, his eyes swept over the little spider below, and he ordered; Go ahead, children, and enjoy your dinner! ”
"Ah" With Brother A's words, the little spiders roared in unison, and the cold eyes even made people feel moderately hot.
