Chapter 124: Selfishness
"Come out, they're gone." Neville looked up at the bat hanging from the roof.
Nix fell back into human form and asked excitedly, "Did you see that?" What does that guy look like? ”
Without waiting for Neville and Seamus to answer, Harry lifted his invisibility cloak and rushed out to hug Knicks and shouted, "Knicks, you're so good, will you Animagus?" ”
Ron was very jealous, silently packed up the invisibility cloak, and muttered, "What's the big deal, isn't it just a transformation!" ”
Seamus and Neville pricked up their ears, also wondering when the Knicks learned Animagus.
"Remember Filch's cat?"
Everyone nodded.
"On Halloween, I wanted to perform the Animagus ceremony, and I was bumped into by Headmaster Dumbledore, who was afraid that something would happen to me, so he presided over the ceremony. So he knew that the Slytherin heir wasn't me. Nix replied.
Seamus was envious that with the Animagus, the night tour would not have been caught by Filch. He asked, "Nyx, can you help us with the ritual?" ”
Ron walked over to Harry and waited for Knicks' answer, and although he said that transformation was not a big deal, he really wanted to learn in his heart.
Neville looked at the Knicks with eager eyes, wondering if he would learn it.
"No, the ceremony is difficult, and it is basically impossible to complete it without the right opportunity. My original plan was to finish it before I graduated, but I was lucky enough to finish it in about a month.
It may take you to complete the ceremony, it may take three or four years, and if you are unlucky, it may take more than ten years. "The Knicks didn't want to help them and deliberately exaggerated the difficulty.
Harry regretted, "It's a pity, if we were all Animagus, we would have been able to clean them up with you." ”
"That's too obvious, they'll be suspicious. I'm the only one, Mr. Minister, and he's going to use a spell, and a bunch of animals are playing with him, and he's going to cast a spell on us. Nicks said.
"Speaking of which, you've done so beautifully, I saw the skinny man drenched all over his head, just like when we bombarded Filch with a big dung bomb during our night tour, but unfortunately the fat man didn't have it." Seamus was excited.
Harry introduces the two of them and explains their purpose, interspersed with what the Knicks do, and the whole process is described in a colorful way, and the plot is full of ups and downs, which makes Neville and Seamus addicted.
He didn't tell Seamus and Neville why Hagrid was taken away. It was only said that Lucius Malfoy had come to get rid of Dumbledore.
Ron said hatefully, "I bet Lucius Malfoy must have been instructed by Voldemort to kick Dumbledore out of school so that Voldemort could make a comeback." ”
Neville was frightened, the Slytherin heirs were attacking the students everywhere in the school, and Voldemort was watching outside, and he said sadly, "It's over, it's over." What to do if you stay at school and be attacked by your heirs, and when you go home and are attacked by a mysterious person? ”
Nicks patted him on the shoulder and comforted, "Don't worry, Hagrid left us a clue before leaving, he said to follow the spider." ”
Seamus worried, "But we have found an heir and saved Hagrid, and Dumbledore may not be able to return." ”
His words silenced several of them, who understood that any attack would show Hagrid's innocence, but that it would be difficult to get Dumbledore back, unless they could prove that it was a plot to get Dumbledore away.
Thinking that Hogwarts does not have Dumbledore's protection, the heirs of Slytherin will do whatever they want.
Nicks felt that if this continued, they would not have the courage to go to the Forbidden Forest, and said loudly, "We can't do anything about Dumbledore, but we can at least let Hagrid come back first." ”
He actually has selfish intentions, Aragog is a giant spider, not only the poison sac is very valuable, but the other parts are also precious potion materials, maybe which part can become a substitute material for the sequence potions.
It's not that Ron doesn't want to save Hagrid, he is very afraid of spiders, and when he heard that Nyx asked everyone to find spiders, he objected: "Hagrid's clue is 'follow the spider', we know that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk, it is the spider's natural enemy, is this clue still useful?" ”
Harry looked at Ron deep in thought. After the diary incident, he found that as long as the Knicks spoke, Ron would definitely object, and he silently decided that when it came to Knicks in the future, he couldn't listen to Ron too much, and said: "No, Hagrid won't give us meaningless clues." ”
"Hagrid told us to follow the spider, can the spider talk? Does it tell us who the heir of Slytherin is? Seamus asked.
This reminded Harry that he had seen in Tom Riddle's diary that the animal that had been falsely accused of being the culprit was the spider, and that Hagrid told them to find the spider and maybe he could really know who the heir was. But this can't be told to Seamus, he doesn't want Hagrid to be kicked out of the school as an heir because Seamus knows, Seamus knows, Gryffindor knows, Gryffindor knows, and the whole school knows.
Seamus continued: "Even if it knows, it must be able to communicate first, will any of you talk to spiders?" Is there such a talent as spider cavity? ”
Several people looked at each other, but they didn't speak. In fact, if Aragog himself doesn't speak human language, and even if it can't, at least two of the five of them can understand it.
Ron's high perception allows him to understand the spider's words. Nyx's animal senses are more domineering, and he can know what the spider thinks, and Aragog can't lie in front of him.
Harry made up his mind, "Let's follow the spiders, maybe this line will let us know who the Slytherin heirs are." ”
"You don't have to follow the spider when you hand over the diary." Ron grumbled quietly.
Several people followed the spider in the window to the door, and found the spider crawling towards the Forbidden Forest.
Neville hesitated, "Are you going to the Forbidden Forest?" It's dangerous inside! ”
"Didn't you come last year? Nothing was encountered. Nicks said.
"But you and Harry met you, and the unicorn killer attacked you, and he might still be in the Forbidden Forest." Neville doesn't know who attacked the unicorn, thinking it's still in the Forbidden Forest.
Harry affirmed, "The man is no longer in the Forbidden Forest. ”
Neville was a little skeptical: "How do you know?" ”
"Knicks know that the man is no longer in the Forbidden Forest." Harry didn't explain, pulling the Knicks to testify.
Neville looked at the Knicks, who nodded, "It's not in the Forbidden Forest. ”
The dark Forbidden Forest was filled with sparkling lights, and the little wizards didn't think they were pretty, but rather like man-eating demons, waiting for them to throw themselves into the net with their mouths wide open.
Harry took the lantern, looked at the spiders on the ground, and headed towards the Forbidden Forest.
"Keep up."
