A few days have passed since the unicorn death.

During this time, Hagrid talked to the magical creatures of the Forbidden Forest, and from the centaur he learned that there was an evil being roaming the periphery of the Forbidden Forest.

So the two of them are going to patrol the perimeter tonight.

John had gradually been able to follow in Hagrid's footsteps, with teeth running ahead.

This big dog is very large, but very timid.

It's not even as bold as Tom has come.

While on patrol, a spider the size of a human head appears in front of John.

He was so frightened that he clenched his wand and was about to use it to crush his bones.

"What a big spider."

"Wait, this is the son of Aragog."

Hagrid screamed to stop John, and as John watched with a tingling scalp, Hagrid seemed to be communicating with the spider.

"It's Aragog looking for me."

Aragog is a friend of Hagrid's and was adopted by Hagrid as a child, but escaped into the Forbidden Forest after Hagrid's accident and became an old spider.

John nodded numbly, this Hagrid is really big-hearted, if this spider is touched by Ron, it is estimated that he will be able to die on the spot.

Following the spider, they made their way to a cave.

Originally, John had seen many spiders before entering, but after entering it, he had goosebumps all over his body and never stopped.

There are countless spiders at a glance, and spiders with large human heads have become petite here.

There are dozens of human-sized spiders.

"Goon, Hagrid, are you sure they're friendly?" Swallowing, John nervously approached Hagrid.

Hagrid's tall frame gives a sense of security, but only when it's outside and not in a spider's den.

"Don't worry, these spiders are children of Aragog and won't hurt you."

Hagrid swore by it, but John always felt unreliable.

Those spiders are drooling out, and you're telling me they won't hurt me?

With his left hand already grasping the wand, John swore that he would never be crushed if a spider dared to come closer.

At the end of the cave was a gray spider the size of a car, an eight-eyed giant spider with cataracts that made it difficult for the old spider to see.

"Hagrid, you're here."

Alagog was delighted by his friend's arrival, and he suppressed his imminent heir and told Hagrid about the Forbidden Forest.

"Something came in, and that thing was evil, and it was tracking unicorns."

Hagrid tasked Aragog with investigating the unicorn, and Aragog sent his own heirs throughout the Forbidden Forest.

"He's strong, and my heirs have been killed a lot, and he's as elusive as a geist."

The Eight-Eyed Spider clan feeds on people, and although Aragog suppressed his own heirs for Hagrid, the Eight-Eyed Spider is definitely not that easy to deal with.

The guy who came into the Forbidden Forest single-handedly killed several eight-eyed giant spiders, and his strength was not inferior to that of the Aurors.

Although they met each other, Aragog couldn't keep anyone.

Hagrid's heart was heavy when he heard this, and sure enough, as John said, the evil guy didn't give up on the unicorn.

The unicorn's blood is cursed, but it can also keep those who have only one breath left from dying.

"I got it, Aragog."

Hagrid greeted Aragog and prepared to leave, but the eight-eyed spiders around him were getting closer.

"Aragog?" Hagrid looked at his friend in bewilderment.

Aragog said apologetically, "I'm sorry Hagrid, I told the heirs not to hurt you, but they have no resistance to the others. ”

"Oops!"

After being reminded by Aragog, Hagrid also realized that he had done something stupid by bringing John over.

"John, let's go."

Lifting John up, Hagrid was massive like a humanoid truck.

There was a spider in front of him, and he was directly knocked away by Hagrid.

It's rare for someone to eat, and the spiders don't want to give up.

Naturally, John didn't show mercy, and pulled out his wand and fired a spell at a approaching eight-eyed spider.

"Reducto"

The white light struck the spider, instantly knocking it back and bleeding without killing it.

"Pretty spells." Hagrid complimented.

Don't look at Hagrid's growth, he's actually very sensitive.

John was carried by Hagrid, saving himself the effort to dodge and concentrating on making a turret.

The "Incendio" wand spews flames and ignites the spider.

"Wingardium Leviosa" A fallen log slammed into the rear.

Under the constant bombardment, John's magic gradually bottomed out.

He grabbed a rock and threw it at the spider.

[Ding, mana upgrade successful, current mana: level 3]

John felt a warm current welling up in his body, and his magic was restored.

An eight-eyed spider the size of a cart appears from the front, and John targets the spider to cast a spell.

"Reducto"

This time, the white light became even larger, no more than the size of mandarin oranges, but now it was larger.

The moment it came into contact with the eight-eyed giant spider, the eight-eyed spider's body was full of cracks, and then it shattered.

More than doubling his power, John turned and fired a spell at the chasing spider.

With Hagrid's cooperation, John managed to escape the spider's nest.

Upon coming out, Hagrid reproached himself and said, "Sorry John, I thought Aragog would be able to control them. ”

Alagog was indeed in control before, but now Alagog is too old to live, and may not have a few years to live.

The young spider no longer listens to him as much as he used to.

"It's okay Hagrid, but it's better not to let anyone else go there in the future."

John was fated this time, and if someone else didn't have Hagrid's help, it probably would have to be a meal on the plate.

Hagrid was also afraid.

The two continued their search in the Forbidden Forest for a while before ending their patrol for the day.

In Hagrid's cabin, John poured a large bowl of dog food for Yaya.

This big dog ran the fastest in the spider cave, and it was estimated that he was also tired.

After saying goodbye to Hagrid, John returned to Hogwarts.

He opened the map and saw that Professor Quirrell was not in his office.

【Ding, Blessing: Daredevil】

[Daredevil: Immerse yourself in the dark, increase concealment and visibility, increase stealth kill damage]

After a hundred hours of night travel, John turned off his wand light and began to adjust to the darkness with two blinks of his eyes.

The originally dark corridor gradually became clear to the eye, and although it was not as clear as it was during the day, it was possible to read in a dark-out state.

"It's a lot easier now."

With the Daredevil trait, John would be difficult to spot even when he walked in the hallway without using the Disillusionment Charm.

After using the Transfiguration Charm, he can directly achieve the effect of the Invisibility Cloak.

...

In the days that followed, John could often 'bump into' Quirrell.

Quirrell, who was originally not interested in teaching, could be said to be meticulous to John in private.

and constantly hinted that John could find him if he had any problems, and even vaguely mentioned that he was also quite accomplished in the dark arts.

John is always pretending to be confused, like a nerd, but he is not without ideas about the dark arts.

After all, dark magic like Fierce Fire is very powerful, which is difficult to achieve in ordinary magic.

Eventually, he offered Quirrell to learn from him, and Quirrell gladly accepted.

Although Quirrell is not very good at this spell, don't forget, he has the second generation of the Dark Lord as his backing.

With Quirrell teaching on the surface, but in fact Voldemort instructing, John finally learned to be fierce.

However, he will not try it easily, and the fierce fire is the most uncontrollable spell.

Once lit, the fire cannot be extinguished.

At the same time, Quirrell didn't pretend anymore, he was still hinting, and now he was talking directly about the Dark Lord.

John also knew what the other party meant, so he had to fool around every time, and from time to time he showed his approval of the Dark Lord's ideas.

In the midst of annoyance, December is quietly coming.

In Potions class, after a lesson in the face of Snape's gloomy gaze, everyone was in full swing discussing Christmas arrangements.

Ron also doesn't return home, and the Weasleys decide to travel to Romania to visit Charlie Weasley, who is raising dragons there.
