Fudge and his party took away Dumbledore and also took away Hagrid near the Forbidden Forest.
Before leaving, Lucius stared at Dudley for a long time, his lips moved for a long time, but he could not say a harsh word.
After seeing Slytherin's support for Dudley and the method of bypassing him to directly obtain the signatures of the other eleven school directors, he had the illusion of facing that person except for Dudley's exaggerated body shape.
It seems that he understands Draco a little bit. But only a little.
Dumbledore's departure caused some slight commotion, but it soon calmed down under the organization of Professor McGonagall. As the vice-principal, she now temporarily takes over the power of the principal.
"Don't worry about what happened just now. Dumbledore will be back soon."
"I think everyone is hungry, so let's continue eating."
The Slytherins were the quickest to recover, or Dumbledore's departure had the least impact on them, and they ate gracefully at the long table.
It's just that the principal was taken away, the disciplinary team was still there, and Mr. Dursley was still there, so there was no problem.
What's rare is that Lockhart, who is usually the most active, seems to have a tongue-locking spell on his mouth today. He has no intention of jumping out to make a fuss and is just keeping his head down.
Dudley just glanced at him and didn't say much.
After picking up the tea cup and drinking the tea in one gulp, Dudley leaned gently on the seat, thinking about the next arrangement.
Audrina's disappearance was not too unexpected.
It would be abnormal if she was still here.
But Dudley believed that she was still hiding somewhere in Hogwarts
Because she hasn’t had her revenge yet
What would you do if you were Audrina?
Oh, I should say, if you were Voldemort's Horcrux, what would you do?
Hogwarts is much safer than other places, especially since Dumbledore, the only person Voldemort is afraid of, has been taken away.
I believe it will appear soon.
"Stay well here."
After the meal, Dudley took Hermione to Slytherin's own bedroom. Maybe this was not the safest place in Hogwarts, but it was the place where Dudley felt most at ease.
"I'm not that weak."
Hermione was a little dissatisfied with Dudley's actions. She thought it was better to do something meaningful than to protect him.
"Of course, my little princess." Dudley rubbed Hermione's big fluffy waves: "Your ability now is enough to rival those of the senior students who are about to graduate."
"But the opponent is a basilisk, a basilisk that has lived for thousands of years. Although it is very weak now, it is still not an existence that can be easily dealt with. Even an adult wizard can only die when facing the eyes of the basilisk."
The terrifying ability of the basilisk lies in its ability to kill anyone it stares at.
It took Dudley a long time to get Hermione to agree to stay in his room.
"Remember to take the Spearow with you. If that thing breaks into this place, its ability can delay it for a while."
Previously, Dudley recovered three magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, a mandrake (walking grass), a sniffer and an evil bird. Spearow is the name of the evil bird.
Inside the red and white ball around Hermione's waist.
After giving instructions to Hermione, and then to Gryffindor and giving instructions to Harry and the others, Dudley left Hogwarts.
The Forbidden Forest, even in broad daylight, looks very gloomy under the cover of the lush branches and leaves, especially one place deep in the forest, which is as gloomy and terrifying as the place where the villain lives in a fairy tale.
As Dudley went deeper and deeper, the trees above him became more and more dense, and finally even the sky was no longer visible.
Listening carefully, there is no other sound except the snapping of branches and the rustling of leaves.
Logically speaking, this is very abnormal. In addition to magical creatures, the Forbidden Forest also has normal creatures, such as hares and insects.
But there is nothing here
Ahead is endless darkness
Fortunately, Dudley's night vision was extremely strong, and he could see the road ahead clearly even without lighting.
The road is getting narrower and narrower, and more and more deviated. There are intricate tree roots and stumps everywhere, and barbed thorn vines are almost everywhere. If you are not careful, you will get injured.
A mist spread out from nowhere, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply, making the woods even more terrifying.
"We're here." Dudley said to himself, looking at the dense white silk net hanging on the withered and broken branches in front of him.
This is his destination.
There was a slight rustling sound all around, not from leaves, but from the friction of arthropod legs.
"Hiss!"
A sharp voice sounded, as if calling for a companion.
No, removing the like is calling for companions.
The rustling sounds gradually became louder and more frequent, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at Dudley in the dark space, glowing with a faint green light.
Dudley pointed toward the sky, and a faint light point floated out from his fingertips, gradually rose into the sky, and then suddenly exploded, illuminating the surrounding environment.
The ground covered with fallen leaves underfoot was densely covered with spiders. Each one was as big as a cart horse, with eight eyes and eight legs. They were dark and hairy, like giant monsters.
The Acromantula grows deep in the rain forests of southeastern Asia. It is a 5X-level magical creature. It is cruel in nature and has venom that can easily kill people. It is a rare gregarious species that is extremely aggressive and likes to eat people.
Acromantula eggs are Class A prohibited trade items and are extremely rare in Europe, so their venom can be sold at extremely high prices.
A pint costs up to 100 galleons.
The Acromantulas stared at Dudley eagerly, and kept making hissing sounds from their mouthparts.
Dudley didn't react at all to this scene that would make normal people's hair stand on end, as if it was just an insignificant scene.
"Aragog!"
The giant spiders seemed to be calling, and they kept swinging their large claws.
Soon a giant spider the size of a small elephant appeared in Dudley's field of vision.
The other Acromantulas kept roaring at this giant spider, as if they were conveying some kind of message.
"people?"
The Acromantula known as Aragog made a hoarse voice.
"It's not Hagrid, it's a stranger."
This Acromantula named Aragog seems invisible, but it actually has a sense of smell, can speak, and even has a very high IQ.
"Wait a minute. I seem to smell this familiar smell. I will never forget it in my life! It's you! It's you who kidnapped my child!"
This was not the first time for Dudley to come here. He was a frequent visitor here during the winter, for the venom of the Acromantula.
"Outsiders, you are very brave!"
"He actually delivered it to his door in person."
Aragog moved his claws angrily and made a clicking sound: "It's delicious, sweet, human flesh. You're welcome then."
"Aragog, I'm here to negotiate terms."
