If Harry and Hermione hadn't faced the scene of being surrounded by werewolves earlier tonight, the scene before them would probably frighten them to their wits' end. Hundreds of eight-eyed spiders lay in front of them. These anxious and angry spiders were fighting each other. When stepped on, it made a fierce clicking sound, like a rolling thundercloud.
Peter seemed to feel the bad atmosphere outside. He stopped struggling and huddled in the white pupa, shivering.
"This is a lesson to the people in the castle--"
Aragog said bitterly.
"Shut up!"
Harry said sternly and inwardly. He stared at the wooden cone above Aragog's head that was completely under his control, his eyes showing struggle.
Even though he appeared to be very decisive, when he really wanted to take the life of an intelligent magical creature by himself, he fell into hesitation.
"This doesn't solve the problem, Harry -" Hermione shuddered, but she still didn't want Harry to hurt the spider, "They won't let us go, even if you kill it."
"I know, Hermione!"
The swarms of spiders that kept approaching them made Harry look gloomy. He held his breath and gritted his teeth and said,
"But this is our only bargaining chip, Hermione. Is there any other way we can get out?"
It was just a spider. In Snape's class, he killed a lot of frogs, lizards and other things!
Harry not only had to convince Hermione, but also himself in his heart.
At this moment, two flashing lights suddenly broke through the barrier of the spider wall and shone on Harry and Hermione. At the same time, the roar of the engine like a bull's roar also reached the ears of the two people. The sound was familiar to Harry; he had heard the same roar earlier tonight before meeting the Dementors.
The eight-eyed spiders surrounding them were frightened and fell into panic. Spiders kept falling from their companions' heads to the ground. Before they could get up, a heavy object suddenly ran over them, knocking away one after another. An eight-eyed spider quickly approached Harry and Hermione.
"What is that, Harry!"
Hermione opened her mouth in surprise, with an incredulous expression on her face.
"Mr. Weasley's car."
Harry also looked absent-minded. He stared at the tattered car that repeatedly attacked the eight-eyed spiders like a knight and even the headlights drooped and murmured. But then, joy filled his heart, and Harry was pleasantly surprised. jumped up and shouted,
"It's Mr. Weasley's car, remember, Hermione. When the second year started, Dobby blocked the wall at King's Cross Station. Ron and I used this car to return to Hogwarts!"
At that time, this incident caused quite a stir in both the wizarding world and Hogwarts. Harry and Ron were in the limelight, but Mr. Weasley was unlucky, and he was subject to scrutiny by his unit.
"But why is it here?"
Hermione glanced around blankly, hoping to find some wizard who had called a taxi for them.
"Since then, this car has been living in the Forbidden Forest. God, I didn't expect it to be able to move. Maybe it has been wandering nearby and heard the movement here!"
While they were talking, this old Ford Anglia car that had been modified by magic broke through all the obstacles and stopped in front of them.
The car was the same as in Harry's image. The doors and roof were dented. This was the damage caused by the Whomping Willow when they were sent to Hogwarts last time. The windshield was also shaky. , the four wheels of the old car were stained with a lot of green juice, which belonged to eight-eyed spiders. When it just broke through the spider wall, many spiders died under its wheels.
The lights of the Ford flashed rapidly, as if to greet them.
After the vehicle came to a stop, the sunken door automatically popped open, and an urging horn sounded.
"Stop standing there, Hermione, get that traitor into the car quickly!"
Harry was still pointing his wand at Aragog, and he urged Hermione anxiously.
Hermione muttered a few words, and she controlled the white chrysalis to fly into the trunk of the car that opened. After placing Peter, she jumped into the back seat.
"Come in, Harry!"
The spiders on the periphery had already anticipated something, and the eight-eyed spiders surged forward like a tide, rushing towards Mr. Weasley's car one after another.
After Harry also retracted into the car, there were sudden bursts of smashing sounds on the sunken ground. Two spiders that had arrived first were attacking the car with their giant claws.
"Come on, go to Hogwarts!"
Harry shouted at the trembling steering wheel,
"I know you understand!"
Immediately, the engine suddenly roared, and the car spun in a circle and threw away the eight-eyed spider on the top. After looking at the gap, it bounced forward and struggled to break out of the encirclement.
Inside the car, neither Hermione, whose head was resting heavily on the roof of the car, nor Harry, who rolled under the car seat, noticed that a ray of silver-gray light floated into the car through the gap in the window, entering quietly. Hermione's collar.
"Well"
Amosta stretched and withdrew his gaze from looking at the car's taillights. He turned his head and looked at the junction of the dense jungle and the stacked mountains, and smiled.
"It's time for me to do some work."
The car finally left the bumpy mountainous terrain and shuttled through the dense forest.
“Phew—could you please drive faster!”
Hermione stared at the time on the dashboard of the car and urged anxiously.
"Look there, Hermione, the Dementors are coming -"
Harry leaned forward, his eyes constantly roaming the air. Suddenly, he found what he was looking for, which was a group of dark clouds floating in the air. At the edge of the dark clouds, there were many shadows flying up and down, heading towards the Forbidden City. Lin moved in the other direction.
"Dementors, when did they appear?"
Hermione's breath suffocated, and her face suddenly turned pale.
"When we were about to leave the Forbidden Forest, Sirius' motorcycle fell from the sky. You all fainted. I was the only one who was still awake. Please--"
Harry shouted at the steering wheel of the car,
"Drive in which direction and see!"
"You can't do this, Harry!"
Hermione grabbed Harry's wrist and gasped,
"Have you forgotten, Harry, we can't be seen by anyone, not even dementors, otherwise we will be in big trouble!"
"You don't understand, Hermione—"
Harry will become extremely stubborn now,
"You don't know what happened at that time. Professor Dumbledore hadn't come yet, but those dementors had already discovered Sirius, and they wanted to kill him on the spot. I wanted to use the Patronus Charm to drive them away, but It failed, but later, someone released a powerful patron saint and drove away all the dementors!"
Hermione blinked, looking shocked,
"Powerful patron saint, you mean Professor Brain?"
"not him"
Harry frowned and said slowly,
"Well, I saw that person. But maybe it was my hallucination, Hermione. My mind was not clear at the time and I quickly lost consciousness."
"Who do you think that is?"
"I think--"
Harry swallowed. He knew his answer was bizarre, but he said it anyway,
"I thought that was my dad."
Harry looked up at Hermione and saw her mouth opened wide this time, staring at him with a mixture of shock and pity.
"Harry, your dad—"
Speaking indifferently, Hermione glanced at the location of the trunk warily, lowered her voice before continuing,
"He's dead, isn't he? His murderer is in the trunk. If we catch him, we can avenge your parents."
"Oh, I know."
Harry glared at the trunk gloomily, but then he frowned and continued,
"I know it's hard to explain, Hermione, but I want to go. No, I must go and see!"
Hermione couldn't defeat Harry, and she was also curious about who the person Harry was talking about was. They stopped the car in a place where it was not easy to notice, and then the two people got out of the car wearing invisibility cloaks and trotted forward. Hiding far away behind a tree.
Dementors appear.
Hermione was so frightened that she wanted to scream, but luckily she covered her mouth.
The Dementors were hovering over Sirius, who was pinned down by the motorcycle. At this time, Harry was trying to drive them away. However, after several attempts, he failed unfortunately, and his actions angered the Dementors. , they were going to kill him first.
Harry kept searching anxiously, his eyes flying over the big trees, because the place where the Patronus finally stayed was behind a crooked-neck tree.
"Quick!"
Harry looked around and whispered, "Where are you, Daddy, hurry up!"
No one responded to his call. In the middle of the field, a dementor had already grabbed him by the throat and was about to take off his hood.
Hermione finally couldn't hold back her fear. She turned her head and didn't dare to look any further. Harry gritted his teeth and was about to say something to comfort Hermione, but when he turned his head, he finally noticed the tree in front of them.
