Hogwarts: I am Harry's Cousin

Chapter 157 155. Aragog, I'm Here to Negotiate Conditions

Fudge and his party took away Dumbledore and Hagrid near the Forbidden Forest.

Before leaving, Lucius stared at Dudley for a long time, his lips twitched for a long time, but he couldn't utter a harsh word.

After seeing Slytherin's support for Dudley, and the method of bypassing him and directly obtaining the joint signatures of the other eleven school managers, he had the illusion of facing that person except for Dudley's exaggerated figure.

Seems to understand Draco a little. But only a little.

Dumbledore's departure caused a slight commotion, but it was soon quieted down under Professor McGonagall's organization. As the vice-principal, she is now temporarily acting as the principal.

"Don't worry about what happened just now, Dumbledore will be back soon."

"I think everyone should be hungry, so let's continue eating."

The Slytherins were the fastest to recover, or Dumbledore's departure had the least impact on them, eating gracefully on the long table.

It's just that the headmaster was taken away, the disciplinary team was still there, and Mr. Dursley was still there, so there was no problem.

What was rare was that Lockhart, who was usually the most active, seemed to have a tongue-locking spell cast on his mouth today. He had no intention of jumping out to grandstanding, but was just eating.

Dudley just glanced at him and didn't say much.

Picking up the teacup and downing the tea in one gulp, Dudley leaned gently on the seat, thinking about what to do next.

Audrina's disappearance didn't surprise him too much.

It would be abnormal for her to stay here.

It's just that Dudley believes that she is still hiding somewhere in Hogwarts

Because she hasn't had revenge yet

What would you do if you were Audrina?

Oh, it should be said, if you were Voldemort's Horcrux, what would you do?

Hogwarts is much safer than other places, especially Dumbledore, who Voldemort only fears, has been taken away.

I believe it will appear soon.

"Stay here well."

After the meal, Dudley took Hermione to Slytherin's own bedroom. Maybe it wasn't 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 approach. She thought it was better to do something meaningful than to be protected.

"Of course, my little princess." Dudley rubbed Hermione's big fluffy waves: "Your ability is already comparable to those seniors 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 if he meets the eyes of the basilisk."

The basilisk's ability is terrifying in its instant death, staring at anyone to death.

It took a long time for Dudley to get Hermione to agree to stay in his room.

"Remember to bring the sparrow with you. If that thing breaks into this place, its ability can be delayed for a while."

Previously, Dudley recovered three magical creatures in the Forbidden Forest, a mandrake (walking grass), a sniff, and a vampire bird. The sparrow was the name of the vampire bird.

It's inside the red and white ball on Hermione's waist.

After instructing Hermione, and in Gryffindor, also instructing Harry and the others, Dudley left Hogwarts.

The Forbidden Forest, even in broad daylight, looks very gloomy under the cover of lush foliage, especially one of the deep forests, which is as gloomy and terrifying as the place where the villains live in fairy tales.

As Dudley went deeper, the trees grew thicker and thicker overhead, until at last the sky was no longer visible.

Listen carefully, there is no other sound besides the snapping of branches and the rustling of leaves.

It stands to reason that this is a very abnormal thing. In addition to magical creatures, the Forbidden Forest also has normal creatures, such as hares and insects.

but there's nothing here

There is boundless darkness ahead

Fortunately, Dudley's night vision ability is very strong, even without lighting, he can see the road ahead clearly.

The road is getting narrower and more sideways. There are intricate tree roots and stumps everywhere, and barbed vines are almost everywhere. If you are not careful, you will 'hang the color'.

A mist came out from nowhere, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply and making the woods even more terrifying.

"Here we are." Dudley said to himself, looking at the dense white silk nets hanging on the withered and broken branches in front of him.

Here is his destination.

There was a slight rustling sound all around, not from the leaves, but from the friction of the legs of arthropods.

"Hiss!"

A sharp voice sounded, as if calling for a companion.

No, to remove the image is to call for companions.

The rustling sound gradually became louder and more numerous, and there seemed to be countless pairs of eyes staring at Dudley in the dark space, glowing with faint green light.

Dudley pointed towards the sky, and a faint point of light floated out from the fingertip, gradually rose into the air, and then exploded suddenly, illuminating the surrounding environment.

The ground covered with fallen leaves underfoot was densely covered with spiders, each one as big as a cart horse, with eight eyes and eight legs, dark and hairy, like giant monsters.

The acromantula grows in the depths of the rainforest in southeastern Asia. It is a 5X-level magical creature. It is cruel by nature and has venom that can easily kill people. It is a rare group-living species. It is extremely aggressive and likes to eat people.

The eggs of acromantulas are Class A prohibited trade items, and they are even rarer in Europe, so their venom can be sold at extremely high prices.

A pint can cost as much as 100 Galleons.

The acromantulas stared at Dudley intently, hissing sounds from their mouthparts.

Dudley didn't respond to this kind of scene that made normal people's hair stand on end, as if it was just a trivial scene.

"Aragok!"

The giant spiders seemed to be calling, and they kept swinging their claws.

Soon a giant spider the size of a small elephant appeared in Dudley's field of vision.

The other giant eight-eyed spiders 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 human words, and even has a very high IQ.

"Wait. I seem to smell this familiar smell. I will never forget it in my life! It was you! It was you who took my child!"

It wasn't the first time Dudley had been here, he was a frequent visitor here in winter, for the acromantula's venom.

"Outsider, you are very courageous!"

"I actually delivered it to the door myself."

Aragog waved his pincers angrily, making a clicking sound: "Delicious, sweet, human flesh. Then you're welcome."

"Aragok, I'm here to negotiate terms."
