At the same time, Hogwarts ranger Hagrid was stumbling forward quickly in the dense Forbidden Forest with his big dog Fang, sweating profusely! Those obstructive tree branches and knee-deep weeds seriously hindered his forward speed, forcing him to slow down again and again to deal with these annoying things!
Just now, a fire broke out in the Forbidden Forest, causing quite a commotion. The blazing flames and thick smoke were visible to all the teachers and students of Hogwarts! As a forest ranger and gamekeeper, Hagrid certainly couldn't ignore this!
Therefore, he must go to check the fire situation as soon as possible! If this soaring fire spreads and destroys the Forbidden Forest and the magical creatures in it, Hagrid's guilt will be huge! In addition, he himself was also very worried about the location of the fire in the Forbidden Forest! There is something he cares about there!
Now, the big Hagrid was running quickly in the direction of the thick smoke. His fat and tall half-giant body made him look a little out of breath while exercising! You know, he didn't even have time to eat lunch! That big pot of chowder, which can be called the dark delicacy of the wizarding world, is still simmering in his house!
After running for a while, Hagrid had to stop, holding his knees with both hands and gasping for air! Normally, when he was on routine patrol, he didn't realize how big this forbidden forest was! Why was it that when I wanted to check the fire early this time, I couldn't get there in a long time? If it weren't for the fear that the Ministry of Magic would discover that he was secretly hiding his wand, Hagrid would have almost wanted to Disapparate directly!
Looking at the thick smoke floating above the treetops in the distance, judging from the direction of the smoke, it seems that it should be deep in the forbidden forest! If he remembered correctly, that should be the territory of the eight-eyed spiders!
Thinking of this, Hagrid immediately had a bad feeling in his heart! This is why he has been worried and rushed on his way! That Aragog is Hagrid's pet! And its descendants! Thinking of this, Hagrid no longer cared about the physical exertion. After saying hello, Hagrid twisted his fat body and ran faster.
At this moment, the blazing flames that were originally burning have basically been extinguished, but the thick smoke from the embers still continues to rise! The entire spider's territory in front of me, including the underground caves, was burned into ruins by the flame storm!
Whether it was trees, grass, or countless spiders, they were all burned into a pile of deformed charcoal by Annie's fire magic! Even the soil and rocks at some magic nodes were burned into a solidified substance with a glass texture. This shows how terrifying the high-temperature flames of the Flame Storm were at that time!
But it’s okay! Before Annie rode the unicorn and left, she specifically put out the flames, so now the fire did not spread further! This made the other magical animals in the Forbidden Forest feel more at ease! I’m not as nervous as I was when I first saw the fire!
Now it seems that this sudden fire only burned the Eight-Eyed Spider's territory! The magical animals don't care about the life and death of those spiders! Regarding the sudden annihilation of the spider tribe by human wizards, the happiest people are probably these intelligent magical animals!
Over the years, these giant spiders, which are obviously invasive alien species, have had no natural enemies and the ranger Hagrid’s deliberate partiality and protection from the beginning! As a result, their numbers are increasing and they reproduce faster and faster. The explosively growing population of eight-eyed spiders has reached a terrifying number in recent times!
They severely squeeze the living space of other creatures! More importantly, these spiders are omnivorous creatures that mainly eat carnivores! Many other magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest have been preyed upon by these giant spiders! It can be said that the two sides have been bitter and feuding for many years! In the entire Forbidden Forest, there is probably no magical animal that does not hate these spiders! How pitiful! Now they are finally finished!
At this moment, a group of centaurs are patrolling the ruins. From time to time, they are sweeping away some ashes that are still carrying sparks, or burying some branches that are still carrying gunpowder smoke into the soil! You know, this is the Forbidden Forest, the Forbidden Forest with lush trees! Plus it’s already a dry fall! It’s the time when the weather is dry and fires are easy to break out!
Therefore, they horse people must take strict precautions, and this is the only way to do it! Otherwise, a strong wind might cause another catastrophe! The saying that a single spark can start a prairie fire is no joke! If the fire reignites due to a moment of carelessness, I am afraid that these magical creatures may lose this forbidden forest that they depend on for their livelihood!
"Oh! No! Merlin! No! Aragog! No! It shouldn't be like this! What happened!" Hagrid, who finally arrived belatedly, couldn't help but wonder after seeing the messy ruins in front of him. Crying, he threw himself in front of a huge spider-shaped charcoal.
Obviously, this weird-shaped thing is Hagrid’s former pet: the eight-eyed spider named Aragog! And those smaller spider-shaped cokes next to it should be its descendants?
The eight-eyed giant spider family, which was once extremely prosperous and seemed to be the tyrant of the Forbidden Forest, has been wiped out by a wizard in an instant! This incident was undoubtedly a huge blow to Hagrid! He was now kneeling on the ashes-covered dirt floor, crying loudly with snot and tears.
Beside Hagrid, the centaur Bain looked at Hagrid's pain with cold eyes, but he didn't have the slightest sympathy in his heart! After all, to them centaurs, these spiders are one of their rare enemies in the Forbidden Forest! It has no sympathy or mercy for its enemies!
These abominable giant spiders that are hated by the centaur tribe have developed too fast over the years! Because they have almost no natural enemies here! Specific population numbers for these spiders! Bain the Centaur couldn't even imagine it! It doesn't know how many there are! Is it hundreds of thousands? Or millions? There may not be many adult giant spiders, but there are countless small and medium-sized spiders!
Before that, many unlucky centaurs from the centaur tribe had been preyed upon by them! If it weren't for the fact that he couldn't defeat these spiders, the centaur Bane would have dealt cruelly to these damn giant insects long ago! And now, since that little wizard girl has taken action to deal with these Forbidden Forest pests for them, it's not too late for him, Bain, to be happy! How could he still sympathize with Hagrid? If he doesn't laugh heartily here, he's already giving him away!
"Hagrid! I have warned you before! Don't let such evil creatures into the Forbidden Forest! But you just don't listen! Look! They are all dead now! After all, you should be the one to blame for this. !”
Bain, the Centaur, strode up to Hagrid. If Hagrid was not still here, and at least wanted to sell him some face, Bain would have run straight away and trampled the charred remains of these spiders into pieces. Can you relieve the hatred in its heart?
"No! Aragog is not an evil creature! He has always been a good boy!" The heartbroken Hagrid raised his head and roared loudly at the centaurs.
"Huh? Good boy? I'm afraid, except for you, no other creature in the Forbidden Forest thinks like you do!" Bain sneered at Hagrid with disdain!
"Okay! Bain, enough is enough! Now this matter is over! Instead of wasting time arguing about this here, you might as well go shopping again and see if there are any open flames that have been missed in the ruins!" Centaur Firenze saw that Hagrid had the urge to explode. In order to avoid unnecessary conflicts, he quickly came over to comfort Hagrid and persuade Bain.
Although Firenze is a relatively enlightened centaur, he still applauded the little human girl professor for destroying the spider territory! It itself has tolerated these spiders for a long time! It’s finally time to see their demise!
There should be a lot of scattered spiders around this forbidden forest. Feizelen made a decision in his heart. After it was sure that there would be no more fires here, he and his kind would carefully clean up the nearby area. They must not let them These spiders are back again! After all, their reproductive ability is really terrifying!
"Tell me! Firenze! Who did all this! Please tell me!" Hagrid seemed to have thought of something. He stood up with red eyes and began to ask Centaur Firenze.
"Hey! Do you still want to take revenge? It seems that your brain is not proportional to your size!" Seeing Hagrid's appearance, Bain, the centaur on the side, finally couldn't help it and sneered again.
Because the centaur Bane secretly followed and protected the unicorn, he directly witnessed the whole process of the little human girl destroying the spider territory! The surging magic power fluctuation at that time was very impressive!
If it hadn't been for Bain to be alert enough and run away as soon as he saw the magical abnormality on the ground under his feet, it would have been burned to coke by now! The power of the flames still frightened it even now! It didn't think that the Hagrid in front of it would be the opponent of that scary girl!
"That's enough! Bain! What time is it now! Please shut up!" Firenze saw Hagrid raising his umbrella towards Bain, and the fight was about to break out! He quickly ran over and put his strong body between the two of them, "Hagrid! Please calm down a little! What you are doing now is meaningless!"
"Please get out of the way! Firenze! I must teach him a profound lesson today!" Hagrid's eyes were still red, and he seemed to be still angry! This Bain shouldn't tease him when he's sad!
"Hmph! Who's afraid of whom? I've actually been telling you for a long time: you're just a lunatic who only specializes in raising monsters!" Bain, the Centaur, was not to be outdone, and aimed his bow and arrow at Hagrid.
"Oh! Hagrid! Stop it...!" Seeing that things were about to take a turn for the worst, Dumbledore, who had been watching in the dark, finally couldn't stand anymore! He quickly walked out and spoke out to stop the fight.
In fact, Dumbledore had apparated over at the same time as Anne had just arrived at the spider territory and was about to take action. Hidden in the distance, he saw little Annie's method of killing the eight-eyed spider! It's just that he had no intention of stopping it at the time!
As early as more than ten years ago, Dumbledore had received many complaints from centaurs and other intelligent magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. They had accused him of the evil deeds of those giant spiders more than once! However, because the giant spider is a pet kept by his subordinate and his right-hand man: Hagrid! That's why Dumbledore kept pretending to be deaf and dumb about this matter, and deliberately put the matter on hold for a long time, delaying any reply.
Over the years, giant spiders have reproduced faster and faster in the forbidden forest without natural enemies, their numbers have increased, and their territories have become larger and larger! In fact, Dumbledore himself knew it very well! The existence of these spiders has indeed seriously damaged the ecological balance in the Forbidden Forest! If we continue to tolerate the proliferation of these spiders, I am afraid that the Forbidden Forest will be renamed Spider Forest in many years! Maybe they might even invade Hogwarts Castle by then, right? After all, these spiders eat meat!
Dumbledore had always seen this in his eyes and was worried in his heart! He watched the giant spiders grow to the size in front of him, but he couldn't bear to destroy them for a while! The fear chilled Hagrid’s heart!
Dumbledore still valued Hagrid's subordinate very much! After all, this big man is stupid and easy to fool. If Dumbledore wants to do any dirty work, he only needs to tell him! This big guy worked extremely hard and worked hard without complaining. It was very satisfying to be aroused!
As a result, the spider matter ended up like this, and it could only be delayed again and again! In this regard, Dumbledore sighed more than once as he looked at the growing spider territory! According to his previous thoughts: This is really worrying me to death! These spiders cannot be beaten! There’s nothing you can do about it! What can you do if you let him? Then we have to drag it on like this!
But now it's finally better, because Dumbledore discovered that these blind spiders had provoked little Annie without mercy, and then provoked the little girl to kill them. He suddenly gave them a hard blow, directly Organize these giant spiders from big to small in one pot! Not even the eggs were spared! Everything was burned to coke! What a beautiful job!
Little Annie's irritation really made Dumbledore, who was secretly observing, very happy! For him, this is really a pillow for sleepiness!
Just before Hagrid arrived, the old man was thinking more than once: I am worried about how to deal with these annoying big spiders! But unexpectedly, little Annie came to solve them for me! What a considerate and good girl!
Although it’s a pity to burn them all, but... considering that these spiders are not a rare species, there are many in other places! If you burn it, burn it! Is it okay now? Spider problem solved perfectly! There is no need for me to come out as a villain, and I don’t have to worry about my able men and women remembering me! Now even the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest can feel at ease and will no longer harass me with letters of complaint! This is really killing two birds with one stone!
"Hagrid, Professor Anne can't be blamed for this...Well, the little girl did not know the importance of taking action, but you should know that she can't be blamed for this..." Dumbledore walked up to Hagrid. With a kind and comforting look on his face, he also told the whole story by the way.
To put it bluntly, the general situation is nothing more than this: these spiders of yours are ignorant and want to eat the most precious unicorn in the Forbidden Forest! How could they afford to eat those precious unicorns? We at Hogwarts only have a few of them in the Forbidden Forest, right? It’s not okay to still be a treasure! It's almost as if they were worshiped as ancestors! If you collect some naturally shed hair every year, you can exchange it with that old man Ollivander for a lot of gold galleons! You have to know that this is one of the most stable sources of income for the school!
Last year, one was killed by the rebellious little Tom! Dumbledore was still distressed for a long time! That’s all money! And now! These worthless spiders actually want to eat unicorns? I am simply tired of living! If little Annie doesn't take action, I might even take action to deal with them!
Moreover, they actually dared to attack Professor Anne who came to stop their evil deeds? You also know, is that little girl something they can afford to offend? Don't talk about them, I would have to give up if I tried to criticize them! so! Professor Anne, at best, over-defended, your spiders fought hard and died, it was an honor to die! Okay, now that the matter is over, let’s not worry about whether a little girl takes action lightly or not! Be good, just do whatever you have to do now! Today, this matter has been revealed!
"Ouch~! Professor Dumbledore! Aragog and the others died so tragically!" Hagrid was so sad that he knelt down and hugged Dumbledore's thigh, howling with snot and tears.
Dumbledore was comforting in a low voice, but he was still cursing in his heart! You've had enough! Stop using my robe to wipe your nose! If it weren't for the fact that you usually work hard, I would have beaten you to death!
Poor old man’s white robe! I can tell you! This is a high-level enchanted double-layer magic pattern cloth wizard robe! Designed by famous designers, with exquisite craftsmanship and affordable prices! Not to mention that all your spiders are dead, even if they are not dead, you may not be able to afford this robe if you sell them all! Ouch, let me go! You still rub it! This really pisses me off!
"Woooooo~! Professor Dumbledore! I know, I won't blame Professor Anne! However, Aragog should have many surviving children, and I think I should be able to raise them again! Definitely! It will make them grow stronger again!" After taking another nose drop, Hagrid felt sad and had the idea of adopting the Eight-Eyed Spider again! He is confident that he will be able to restore the glory of the Aragog tribe!
"!!!"
You actually still want to raise it? Merlin! Dumbledore stared down at Hagrid, who was crying profusely! For a moment, he didn't even care about his wizard robe!
Now that you have finally solved the spider problem, you still want to raise one? This, this, this..., forget it! I still don’t care! Anyway, by the time they develop and grow again, I might be dead long ago! Let’s leave this mess to the next headmaster of Hogwarts to worry about! Dumbledore should leave some mess for the next one to prove that he, an old man, has been in this world!
The two centaurs, Bain and Firenze, who were not far away, also heard Hagrid's words, and their faces began to look unhappy! And the centaur Bain had a dark face and terrifyingly gloomy eyes!
It seems it must do something! If this Hagrid really dares to raise spiders in the Forbidden Forest again, Bain swears that as soon as Hagrid steps away, Bain will come out with his hind legs and kill those new little spiders! Leave no one behind!
