It's been a few days since the death of the unicorn.
During this period, Hagrid had a lot of conversations with the magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest. From the centaurs, he learned that there was an evil being wandering outside the Forbidden Forest.
So the two of them will patrol the perimeter tonight.
John was gradually able to keep up with Hagrid, with Fang running ahead.
This big dog is very big but very timid.
Not even as bold as Tom.
During the patrol, a spider as big as a human head appeared in front of John.
He was so frightened that he clenched his wand and was about to use Shatter.
"What a huge spider."
"Wait, these are the descendants of Aragog."
Hagrid shouted and stopped John. Under John's numb gaze, Hagrid and the spider seemed to be communicating.
"It's Aragog who's looking for me."
Aragog is Hagrid's friend. He was adopted by Hagrid as a child. After Hagrid's accident, he escaped into the Forbidden Forest and became an old spider.
John nodded numbly. This Hagrid was really big-hearted. If Ron touched this spider, he would probably die on the spot.
Following the spider, they headed to a cave.
John had already seen many spiders before entering. After entering, he had goosebumps all over his body.
There are countless spiders at a glance, and even the spiders with big human heads become tiny here.
There are dozens of spiders as tall as a human being.
"Gudong, Hagrid, are you sure they are friendly?" After swallowing, John nervously approached Hagrid.
Hagrid's tall body can give people a sense of security, but only if they are outside and not in the spider's lair.
"Don't worry, these spiders are Aragog's children and will not harm you."
Hagrid's vows always seemed unreliable to John.
Those spiders are almost drooling. You told me they won't hurt me?
He had already grasped the wand in his left hand. As long as a spider dared to come close, John swore that he would fling it to pieces.
At the end of the cave is a gray spider the size of a car. It is an Acromantula. Cataracts make it difficult for this old spider to see.
"Hagrid, you're here."
Aragog was very happy for his friend's arrival. He suppressed the heir who was about to move and told Hagrid about the Forbidden Forest.
"Something's coming in, and it's evil, and it's stalking unicorns."
Hagrid commissioned Aragog to investigate the unicorns, and Aragog sent his descendants throughout the Forbidden Forest.
"He is very powerful. Many of my descendants have been killed. He is as elusive as a wandering spirit."
The Acromantula family feeds on humans. Although Aragog suppressed his descendants for Hagrid, the Acromantula is definitely not that easy to deal with.
The guy who entered the Forbidden Forest single-handedly killed several Acromantulas, and was as powerful as an Auror.
Although he met the other party, Aragog could not keep him.
Hagrid felt heavy after hearing this. It was exactly what John said. The evil guy had not given up on the unicorn.
The blood of unicorns contains a curse, but it can also prevent people with only one breath from dying.
"I know Aragog."
Hagrid said hello to Aragog and was about to leave, but at this time, the Acromantulas around him were gradually approaching.
"Aragog?" Hagrid looked at his friend in confusion.
Aragog apologized and said: "Sorry Hagrid, I asked the heirs not to hurt you, but they have no resistance to other people."
"Oops!"
After Aragog reminded him, Hagrid also realized that he had done a stupid thing by bringing John here.
"John, let's go quickly."
Lifting John up, Hagrid's huge body was like a humanoid truck.
A spider stood in front of him and was knocked away by Hagrid.
It's rare for someone to eat, and the spiders don't want to give up.
Naturally, John would not be merciful. He pulled out his wand and pointed it at an approaching Acromantula to fire a magic spell.
"Reducto"
The white light hit the spider, instantly knocking it back and bleeding but not killing it.
"Beautiful spell." Hagrid praised him upon seeing this.
Despite his size, Hagrid is actually very agile.
John was carried by Hagrid, saving him the time to dodge, and directly concentrated on making a turret.
The Incendio wand shoots fire and ignites the spider.
"Wingardium Leviosa (Wingardium Leviosa)" A fallen log hit the back.
Under constant bombardment, John's magic power gradually bottomed out.
With quick eyesight and quick hands, he grabbed a stone and threw it at the spider.
[Ding, magic power has been upgraded successfully, current magic power: level 3]
John felt a warm current gushing out of his body, and his magic power was restored.
An Acromantula the size of a small car appeared from the front, and John aimed at the spider and fired a magic spell.
"Reducto"
This time the white light became even bigger. It was only the size of a satsuma orange before, but now it was a lot bigger.
The moment it came into contact with the Acromantula, the Acromantula's body was covered with cracks and then shattered.
The power more than doubled, John turned around and fired the magic spell at the chasing spider.
With the cooperation of Hagrid, John successfully escaped from the spider nest.
After coming out, Hagrid blamed himself and said: "Sorry John, I thought Aragog could control them."
Aragog was indeed controllable before, but now Aragog is too old and may not have a few more years to live.
The young spider no longer listened to him as he once did.
"It's okay Hagrid, but it's best not to let anyone else go there in the future."
John was lucky this time. If it had been anyone else without Hagrid's help, he would probably have become a meal.
Hagrid was also scared.
The two continued searching in the Forbidden Forest for a while before ending their patrol for the day.
In Hagrid's hut, John poured a large bowl of dog food for Fang.
This big dog ran the fastest in the spider cave, and he was probably exhausted.
After saying goodbye to Hagrid, John returned to Hogwarts.
He opened the Marauder's Map and took a look. Professor Quirrell was not in the office.
[Ding, get the blessing: Night Demon]
[Night Demon: Inhabit the darkness, increase stealth and visibility, increase stealth kill damage]
After completing the one-hundred-hour night tour, John turned off the wand light, blinked twice and began to adapt to the darkness.
The originally dark corridor gradually became clearer to the eyes. Although it was not as clear as during the day, it was possible to read in the dark.
"This is a lot more convenient."
With the characteristics of the Night Demon, John is difficult to detect even if he is walking in the corridor without using the Disillusionment Curse.
After using the Illusion Charm, he can directly achieve the effect of the invisibility cloak.
...
In the days that followed, John could often 'encounter' Quirrell.
Quirrell, who was originally not interested in teaching, could be said to be very considerate of John in private.
And he constantly hinted that John could go to him if he had any questions, and even vaguely mentioned that he had high attainments in black magic.
John pretends to be confused every time, like a nerd, but he doesn't have no ideas about black magic.
After all, black magic like Li Huo is very powerful, which is difficult to achieve in ordinary magic.
Finally, he proposed to Quirrell to learn from Li Huo, and Quirrell readily accepted it.
Although Quirrell is not very good at this curse, don't forget that he has the second generation Dark Lord as his endorsement.
Under the guidance of Quirrell on the surface, but actually under the guidance of Voldemort, John finally learned how to use fire.
But he won't try it easily. Li Huo is the most uncontrollable curse.
Once ignited, the fire cannot be extinguished.
At the same time, Quirrell stopped pretending. He was still hinting, but now he directly talked about the Dark Lord.
John also knew what the other party meant, so he had to fool him every time and show his approval of the Dark Lord's ideas from time to time.
Amidst all the annoyance, December came quietly.
In Potions class, after a lesson under Snape's gloomy gaze, everyone was discussing Christmas arrangements enthusiastically.
Ron was not coming home either, so the Weasleys decided to travel to Romania to visit Charlie Weasley, who was raising dragons there.
