Chapter 84 Aragog
The moon was dark and the wind was high in the Forbidden Forest. Harry and the others walked all the way, but they didn't hear any sound except the sound of the wind.

When the voice sounded, not only Harry and Ron were taken aback, but even Fang whimpered and turned left and right.

But after seeing the person coming along the light source, Harry immediately shouted in surprise.

"Professor Forrest!"

Sherlock looked at the two of Harry sullenly.

"How did you sneak out of the castle? You even came to the Forbidden Forest?"

Harry suddenly remembered that under the current situation, it was not a good thing for them to meet Sherlock here, and the excitement faded immediately.

"We are here"

Just when he was debating whether to tell the truth to Sherlock, the sound of a branch being snapped suddenly came from all directions around them, and it was obvious that some huge guy was overcoming the thorns and walking towards them.

Fang Fang screamed wildly from the side, Harry and Ron looked at each other nervously, and then Sherlock pulled him behind him.

"Stay behind me, I'll settle accounts with you when I return to the castle!"

Sherlock's wand illuminating spell was much brighter than Harry's, and soon they saw the huge monsters surrounding them.

Those are three huge spiders!
Each of them is bigger than a human being. After seeing Sherlock, the three of them and a dog, their movements began to slow down, but they only became more cautious, and they still showed the intention to attack at any time. .

".people."

One of the spider's two pincers moved quickly, and it actually spoke human language.

Sherlock was very calm, he narrowed his eyes and said.

"Take me to Aragog."

After hearing him say that name, the movements of the three giant spiders stopped immediately.

Afterwards, the three spiders seemed to look at each other, and the spider who spoke just now spoke intermittently again.

"follow us"

The spiders still surrounded the three of Sherlock and moved them deeper into the Forbidden Forest together.

Ron and Harry followed Sherlock, they swallowed nervously, Ron asked hesitantly.

"Professor, where are we going to follow the spider?"

"Go to their ancestors, Hagrid's friends." Sherlock said lightly, "You are so brave enough to sneak into the Forbidden Forest, why are you starting to be afraid again now?"

The two of Harry lowered their heads in shame, not daring to look him in the eye.

Sherlock didn't intend to teach them a lesson in the Forbidden Forest, and then comforted him.

"As long as you follow me, there will be no danger tonight."

However, it was okay for him not to be comforted. As soon as these words were spoken, the hearts of both Harry and Ron tensed up.

They even froze in place, until the claws of the giant spider following them hit them, Harry Ron regained his senses, and continued to follow behind Sherlock with a sad face.

"Harry, I don't want to die yet." Ron whispered into Harry's ear with a crying voice.

Harry's face was pale, and his body couldn't help shaking, but he still calmed down and comforted him.

"No, it's okay, we tested it, it's just a chance, not 100%. Think about it in a good way, you have to be glad that the professor didn't say that we will definitely be able to get out alive this time."

Sherlock didn't hear the whispers of the two of them, because at this time, they had been brought into a wide depression by the spider.

The hollow covered with dense leaves was full of giant spiders, and there were white spider webs all over the ground. Looking at Harry and Ron, who were already extremely nervous, the hairs all over their bodies exploded.

The spider continued to lead them to the center of the depression.

Countless spiders around saw them moving their pincers excitedly, making a clicking sound.

At this time, an acromantula slowly crawled out of the hazy white mist, which was much larger than all the surrounding spiders.

Its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye was clouded with white over its hideous clawed head, and it was blind.

"What did you bring?"

Compared to other spiders, Aragog's human language is obviously much more proficient.

". People. There are people other than Hagrid. Looking for you"

The spider spoke intermittently, and Sherlock also introduced himself at this time.

"My name is Sherlock Forrest, Hagrid's friend, Professor Dumbledore asked me to say hello to you on his behalf."

"Dumbledore." Aragog repeated the name, as if it was remembering something.

"I remember him. It was because of his help that Hagrid brought me to this forbidden forest."

"Hagrid is in trouble now." Sherlock said loudly. "There was another attack at Hogwarts this year. The Chamber of Secrets was opened. Four students were attacked. The Ministry of Magic couldn't catch the murderer. They just Take Hagrid away."

Harry and Ron, who were following Sherlock, temporarily forgot their nervousness. They looked at each other and listened very carefully to the conversation between Sherlock and the spider named Aragog.

"It was like this 50 years ago!" Aragog's voice became sharper, "50 years ago they said that Hagrid and I were guilty! But we didn't kill anyone at all, and the attack had nothing to do with us! "

"But in order to protect you, Hagrid didn't tell the truth. That's why his wand was broken and he was expelled from Hogwarts. He can't use magic spells for the rest of his life."

Sherlock stared at Aragog's eight cataracted eyes.

"Now the Ministry of Magic has captured him again. If we can't find the real murderer, then they may completely convict Hagrid. This time is different from before. Hagrid is an adult. If his charges are confirmed, then He can only spend the rest of his life in Azkaban, and his life is so painful!"

Aragog was silent, and after a while, it spoke again.

"what do you want to do?"

Sherlock stated the purpose of his trip.

"You should know what the monster that attacked the students in the castle was, right?"

Aragog's Ao moved and said with great emotion, "That's the sworn enemy of our spiders! I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that horrible creature, though he asked me, many times."

"For you, he can't even become a wizard, but you are so afraid that you dare not even tell him his name." Sherlock's tone was full of contempt.

"I don't need to know the name of that monster, I just want to know from you, do you know where that monster is hiding in the castle?"
