Coming out of the centaur tribe, the sky was getting dark, and the clouds shrouded it, making the entire Forbidden Forest fall into the arms of the goddess of the night in advance.

Dressed in her new snowboots, Goddess Scati arrives in the Forbidden Forest on the eve of Halloween, leaving the whole of Hogwarts cold before winter falls.

A glowing wand illuminated the way home, and the two of them tacitly understood each other and moved forward tightly.

I thought

Rick noticed that Hagrid was a little distracted, and he couldn't help but look in the other direction.

"What's wrong? Rupert. ”

"No... It's nothing. Ahem! ”

Hagrid, who was walking in front, suddenly heard Rick's inquiry, and his body shook, and he almost dropped the house-elf YY in his arms to the ground. After he finished speaking, he coughed and tried to hide his true thoughts.

It turned out to be the safety of Aragog.

In front of the Master of Regent, Hagrid's mind was like a king in new clothes, completely exposed to Rick's mental perception.

"I see you've been restless since you came out of the centaur tribe, like you're worried about someone's safety. Rubeus, as your good friend, I want you to tell me, who are you worried about? Could it be that there is a giantess in the Forbidden Forest? ”

When Rick saw that Hagrid was lying to him, Peeves possessed him and began to tease Hagrid for hiding in the Forbidden Forest.

The biggest credit for finding the house-elf girl today is Hagrid, who helped him lead the way, without him, Rick himself would not have been able to find the centaur tribe in the Forbidden Forest.

Seeing that his friend is worried about his pet, Rick decides to help him.

The mysterious murderer dared to attack house-elves and centaurs in the Forbidden Forest, and it is likely that he would also attack the eight-eyed spider. Hagrid's concerns, Rick could understand.

Although it was already dark, it was just after five o'clock, and it was still early. Take a moment to make sure that Alagog is safe.

"Ahem, Rick you! What nonsense are you talking about, there are no giantesses in the Forbidden Forest, no! ”

Hagrid was teased by Rick with the topic of giantess, Hagrid almost fell down without stepping on a single step, and he blushed with anger, but the uneasiness in his eyes betrayed him.

"Alright, alright, it's a shame there aren't giantesses in the Forbidden Forest, but don't worry, Rubeus. In the future, you will meet the giantess you like, or the half-giants like you. ”

Rick lifted his arm and patted Hagrid's arm to calm his agitation.

“...... Rick, Ms. Sinista is right, your friends are not mad at you, they are all favored by the gods. ”

Being made so troubled by Rick made Hagrid's face a little less gloomy because he was worried about Aragog's safety.

"Rubeus, as your friend, I think I can help you with some of your troubles. The things you thought about along the way have been completely exposed to your face, if anything is difficult, just let me know and I will help you. Don't hide anything from me, I'll keep your secrets for you. ”

Although Rick is a little bit cheap, he treats his friends with sincerity.

In just a few years, Spotted Game Studios has grown bigger and stronger, becoming a star company in the American wizarding world.

It's not just because he has Goldfinger "creative space", it's because Alice, Cohen and other companions who have always been by his side work together to get it.

Without the recognition of these people, how could he have achieved what he is now.

If he was the kind of person with sharp teeth and sharp mouth, selfish and mean, how could he gather so many people who trusted him around him.

"Rick, I..."

Hagrid lowered his head and began to waver in his heart as he looked at the man who genuinely considered him a friend.

"Say it, anything. I'll help you. You were the first friend I met in England, Rubeus. ”

"Rick, please help me keep it a secret, if this matter is known, Headmaster Dumbledore will definitely fire me. Even if he wanted to keep me in his heart, the members of the school board would definitely put pressure on him, and I didn't want to cause him trouble. ”

Hagrid's inner defenses are completely broken by Rick, and he wants to share his innermost secrets with Rick.

"You know I'm a student who was expelled from school because they think I killed a Ravenclaw student. I broke the school rules and raised Aragog, a cute eight-eyed spider.

They thought it was my Aragog who killed her, but no one in the Ministry of Magic wanted to believe it, no matter how I explained that it wasn't Aragog. They wanted to put Aragog to death, but he was still a child. So..."

"So you've put your pet in the Forbidden Forest. Now there's an evil wizard in the Forbidden Forest, and you're afraid that the Eight-Eyed Spider will be killed by him, right? ”

Rick knows all of these things, when Tom Riddle opened the secret room, causing Myrtle to be killed by the basilisk. The hapless Hagrid becomes Tom's scapegoat.

"Yes..."

Hagrid's eyes cleared again. Rick actually guessed everything he wanted to say later. It made him really feel how beautiful it is to have a close friend.

"Lead the way, go and see your pets. The eight-eyed giant spider is still a very rare creature. If there are cute juniors, can I adopt a few? Not much, one male and one female. ”

Rick smiled, shook his head slightly, and raised his arm for Hagrid to lead the way.

"Rick, this way!"

Hagrid was surprised to see that Rick was going to visit Aragog with him, he had originally wanted Rick to go back with the house-elves himself, and then he went to Aragog's lair alone.

Because they were suddenly going to the eight-eyed giant spider, the two of them turned around with the house-elf who was still unconscious, and headed south.

......

The sky was completely covered in a black veil, and the faint mist gave a mysterious color to the glittering masonry that dotted the black veil.

Nocturnal creatures have begun to wake up, and they are starting a new day of toiling for life.

"You mean, there are hundreds of eight-eyed spiders now? Sure enough, alien species that have no natural predators are the most likely to proliferate. Rubeus, let me tell you a very serious fact, if you don't limit their numbers, the other animals in the Forbidden Forest will suffer in a dozen years. ”

Walking along the rough road, Rick heard Hagrid tell himself that in order to prevent Aragog from being alone, he had bought a female eight-eyed spider from the wizard in Tumbledown Alley for Aragog to be his wife. This caused the Eight-Eyed Spider to begin to reproduce their offspring in the Forbidden Forest.

"No, I told Aragog not to hunt the creatures of the Forbidden Forest without restraint, and it promised me."

Hearing Rick say that his pet would upset the ecological balance in the Forbidden Forest, Hagrid retorted.

"You..."

Rumble!

Just as Rick was about to complain about Hagrid's nerves, a loud bang suddenly came from front of them.
