65 Aragog The Acromantula!

"Little wizard, don't be nervous, where are you from?"

The giant spider asked Draco in a gentle tone.

"I am a student of Slytherin House."

"Oh, Slytherin!"

Draco didn't notice that when he said he was from Slytherin House a cold light flashed through the eyes of the giant spider.

This spider is an acromantula called Aragog and got this name from Hagrid.

Yep, it's that guy Hagrid's pet again.

Because of something that happened fifty years ago, Aragog has a strong hostility towards the Slytherins.

These are things that Draco doesn't know.

After he saw that the giant spider in front of him could communicate.

Immediately began to recall the content of the book "Monsters and Their Origins" in his mind in hopes to find a way to deal with giant spiders.

After a minute or so.

He suddenly made a strange movement.

This is the action that acromantulas do when communicating and saluting.

Surprisingly, the acromantulas in the cave all made the same gesture.

Seeing this, Draco was relieved.

"Dear Mr. Spider, I'm sorry to bother you, but I had already appeared here when I woke up."

"If you are willing to let me go, the Malfoy family will express their sincerest thanks and the richest gift to you."

"NO! I don't want any thank you, let alone the Malfoy family."

Draco's heart sank at Aragog's answer and the spiders gradually started shrinking the encirclement.

A drop of cold sweat slipped down Draco's forehead.

"Dear Mr. Spider, what do you need? As long as our Malfoy family can do it, you can ask for it!"

He was speaking and at the same time his eyes were looking for anything he could use to escape.

But there are spiders everywhere, even the top of the cave is covered.

Aragog saw through Draco's little trick, and laughed softly.

"Little wizard, I have lived in this forest for fifty years. I promised Hagrid that my children and I would not take the initiative to go out of the forest to hunt."

"However, I never said that I would let off the prey that intruded into my territory. My children have been hungry for a long time, little wizard!"

Looking at the spider swarm approaching him, Draco immediately pointed his wand at the ground: "incendio!"

The raging flames immediately surrounded him, and the surrounding spiders retreated one after another which gave him a brief respite.

"Dear Mr. Spider, the Hagrid you are talking about is Rubeus Hagrid, that half giant?"

"That's right!"

"Oh Merlin, that's great, I'm friends with Hagrid, he's nearby, if you don't believe me I can find him."

Draco seems to find hope, little did he know that what greeted him was complete despair.

"Little wizard, you shouldn't mention Hagrid's name. Although I ordered my children not to hurt him, you don't naively think that I will obey his order and let you go?"

"Oh, I've said enough, my children are hungry, and since you said Hagrid was nearby, I can't waste my time."

Aragog let out a hum when he finished speaking.

This is the unique language of spiders.

The little spiders around became irritable upon hearing it and rushed at Draco.

Facing the little spiders rushing towards him one after another, Draco waved his wand again and again: "diffindo!"

"Confringo!"

"Incendio!"

""

Looking at the spiders that can't be killed he suddenly felt remorse in his heart.

If he learned more spells on weekdays he would not become so helpless in times of crisis.

Whether it's a cutting spell or a crushing spell.

It's fine against a single spider, but he faced too many spiders, too many to count.

The surrounding flames gradually became smaller and it won't be long before they go out.

He knows that when the flame is extinguished, it is the time of his own death.

A breeze blew through the cave and the last flame was completely extinguished.

Draco put down the wand in his hand, as if intending to give up resistance.

Knowing the end of his life was coming, he thought of his good friends Lucas, Pansy, Blaise.

He also thought of the professors at school.

Finally, of his parents at home.

What are his parents doing at this moment?

If they get the news of his death, his parents should be very sad, right?

In the end, he thought of Harry, he didn't know if Harry was out of danger or not.

He looked around, and countless spiders swarmed, it turns out that this is the feeling of dying.

He suddenly found himself hallucinating because in front of his eyes he actually saw an elegant black panther among a group of spiders!

The panther's roar shook off the little spiders around and Draco rubbed his eyes.

Realizing that this is not an illusion, and in front of him, a black panther really appeared.

…

(Hogwarts Castle)

Professor McGonagall walked into the headmaster's office with a nervous expression on her face.

"Professor Dumbledore, something serious happened!"

Dumbledore, who was reading a book, looked at her puzzled, only then did he notice that behind Professor McGonagall were Professors Flitwick, Sprout, and Snape.

The presence of the heads of the four houses made Dumbledore even more curious.

"Calm down Minerva, tell me what happened?"

"Hagrid has word that they have found unicorn poachers in the Forbidden Forest."

Dumbledore nodded slightly, not only did he know there were poachers, he also knew that someone is hunting unicorns.

Tonight he punished Harry and others by sending them to the Forbidden Forest.

He just hoped that Harry could learn the news that Voldemort was not dead through the mouth of the centaurs.

In this way, when he faced Quirrell, he would not be frightened by Voldemort's sudden appearance.

"And then? What happened?"

"Draco Malfoy is missing, he's gone missing in the Forbidden Forest!"

Snape went straight to the point.

Upon hearing his words, Dumbledore stood up from his seat immediately.

"What?" Dumbledore looked very surprised, this was clearly not what he had planned. The status of the Malfoy family in the British wizarding world is not ordinary.

Many officials of the Ministry of Magic have a close relationship with Lucius Malfoy.

And the Malfoy family is also one of the trustees of Hogwarts.

In the case of Draco Malfoy, if something happened to the future heir of the Malfoy family.

That would be really bad!

"We meet at the entrance of the Forbidden Forest!"

Dumbledore looked aside at his Phoenix Fawkes.

Accompanied by a phoenix cry, he and Fawkes disappeared with a wave of fire.

Hogwarts school doesn't let people apparate, but it can't stop the Phoenix from teleporting.

…

(Entrance to the Forbidden Forest)

Hagrid, who had already received the news, was waiting here with a few young wizards.

Flames flickered and Dumbledore's figure appeared.

"Hagrid, how's the situation?"

Hagrid shook his head and said: "We have searched around the accident site, but there is still no sign of Draco Malfoy.

"And..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, then continued under Dumbledore's gaze.

"And Lucas Grindelwald, who went looking for Malfoy, is gone."

"Headmaster Dumbledore, please you need to find them both."

Hermione said anxiously.

Harry also had an anxious expression on his face, and as for Ron, it was considered polite of him not to snicker.

Dumbledore reassured everyone.

When he heard that Lucas Grindelwald was also missing, for some reason, his heart suddenly relaxed a lot.

This is very strange, in this time of crisis Dumbledore chose to believe in the cunning blond boy.

"Don't worry, I'll go in now to find their whereabouts."

"Hagrid, wait a moment, the other professors will come and you need to tell them what you know."

Getting an affirmative reply from Hagrid, Dumbledore glanced at Fawkes in the sky.

Under the leadership of the phoenix, his figure quickly disappeared into the Forbidden Forest.

…

The panther roared again, then it changed back to human form under Draco's astonished eyes.

"Lucas?"

Seeing his friend appear in front of him a tear appeared in Draco's eyes.

"Look who is crying! Oh~ it's our Master Malfoy, should I tell Peeves about it?."

"I believe that with his help, the whole school will know how embarrassing you are by tomorrow!"

Lucas' teasing succeeded in provoking Draco's anger.

Seeing the other party's pale face return to rosy, only then did Lucas look at the giant acromantula in the cave.

"Oh~ I'm so lucky today, more prey came to my door on its own initiative!"

"Huh? It turned out to be you, Aragog. How come you, who only dared to hide in a box fifty years ago, are in the Forbidden Forest now?"

Lucas looked at the little spiders around and said, "Merlin, these are not your children, are they?"

His surprised appearance made Aragog very proud (spiders know how to be proud as well?)

Just when it was about to reply he heard Lucas say again: "But I heard that you seem to be the only acromantula in the Forbidden Forest."

"Then the question is, how did you lay these eggs? And who did you lay them with?"

"Shut up already, my children, kill him!"

Aragog was furious, and the little spiders around him became more violent than before.

Lucas put a teasing smirk on his face but his eyes stared coldly at the acromantula opposite.

"Big words!"

At this moment, a small spider suddenly jumped out from one side and its fangs gleamed coldly as it performed the sneak attack.

Lucas swung his wand-holding right hand at the spider and a silent Shattering Curse was shot.

The little spider was smashed into pieces by the spell in the air.

And that's not all, the spell carried a powerful magic power and continued on its path smashing all the spiders on a line into mush!

[It is detected that the host is completing the achievement: Spider Killer; every time you kill an acromantula, you can get 1 achievement point, and you can get 500 achievement points for killing the spider king Aragog; achievement points accumulated so far: 11.]

He didn't know if it was an illusion, but Aragog suddenly felt that the blond human in front of him was different from before.

The other party looked at his eyes just like he used to watch those prey. A sense of crisis rose in Aragog's heart.

Seeing Aragog retreating Lucas sneered and said, "Now you know how to be afraid? It's a pity that it's too late!"

"Protego Diabolica!"

Followed by a second wave of his wand the blue fire changed the form of presentation.

With Lucas' wand waving overhead, the flames instantly engulfed the little spiders around.

Several professors who were looking for the whereabouts of the two in the Forbidden Forest heard a loud noise in the distance.

Immediately afterwards, a Blue python soared into the sky.

Dumbledore was all too familiar with this magic.

He looked at Fawkes in the sky.

The phoenix understood and immediately flew to the front to lead the way.

At the same time, Voldemort, who was wandering in the Forbidden Forest, also sensed the powerful magic not far away.

Looking at the familiar blue fire made him furious.

"It's that bastard, idiot, hurry over there immediately, I will never let him go this time!"

Voldemort, who had just drank the blood of the unicorn, was bursting with confidence and Quirrell didn't dare to resist his master's order, so he could only rush towards where the fire was coming from quickly.
