Harry Potter and the Secret Treasure

"It's very dangerous, it's best not to provoke it." Ai Wen said honestly, "Acromantus has very strong attack power, and their sharp claws are extremely poisonous, and their huge bite force can bite a person alive. The most dangerous thing is their number, you know, last time I saw at least hundreds of acromantulas."

Hearing Ivan's description, Ron's face turned pale.

"There are too many of them, we can't deal with them head-on, we have to find a way." Hermione whispered, "Ivan, does the acromantula have any weaknesses?"

"Their attack methods are relatively simple. Only the big pincers are aggressive, and they have no long-range attack capabilities." Aiwen continued, "The defense is also relatively poor. General attack spells can cause damage to them. I think petrification spells or obstacle spells All good choices."

"Weak defense, single attack method..." Hermione said uncertainly, "In other words, as long as you don't get caught by them, it's not invincible."

"Oh my God, Hermione, you really don't intend to fight those acromantulas!" Ron fussed, "The centaur only asks to bring them the spider eyes, I just thought about it, we don't need ourselves To make a move, you can ask Sirius or other professors..."

Harry and Hermione looked hesitant, and Ron's idea was indeed a good one.

"Sirius, will you help us?" Ron asked expectantly.

"That's right!" Sirius nodded simply, "I once promised Aiwen to help him get the approval of the centaur. As long as you need it, I will help you clean up those acromants. This is your last Decided?"

His gaze slid slowly across everyone, and finally fell on Harry.

"No, Sirius!" Harry said hesitantly, shaking his head, "I don't need your help, I think we'll have to do it ourselves..."

"Harry!" Ron shouted hastily, his face full of surprise and panic.

"You know, Ron!" Harry's voice became more and more firm, "We have to do it ourselves, don't forget what Firenze said, the centaur's request is not that we can really destroy the acromantula, It’s about seeing our courage and our sincerity.”

"But..." Ron opened his mouth unwillingly, not knowing what to say.

He turned his head to look at Ivan and Hermione, hoping to get their support. Harry's decision was too risky and irrational no matter how he looked at it.

Ivan and Hermione didn't speak, they both took a step in Harry's direction to show their positions.

Looking at the decision made by his friends, Ron stood still and hesitated, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally he had to walk over with a sigh.

"Very well, Harry, you didn't let me down!" Sirius watched all this silently, and said with a gratified smile, "In the face of danger, not everyone has the courage to face difficulties, and this is the key to success." The rarest."

"I just said what was in my heart just now, without thinking too much..." Harry said shyly.

"I know that in the eyes of others, the decision you made today may be dangerous and irrational, but I want to say that your father and I will be proud of you." Sirius said slowly, "Ha Leigh, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione, I hope you four can remember that the most rare quality of Gryffindors is unparalleled courage. Even if you know the danger, but for the persistence and belief in your heart, you can still stick to it , The courage to still be able to face difficulties. To achieve one's goals by any means, that's what Slytherin does."

Hearing his words, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked very excited.

Especially Harry, with an eager look flashing across his face, as if he could not wait to find the acromantula immediately and have a fight.

Although he didn't quite agree with what Sirius said, Ivan still had to admire it.

He can go through fire and water, even death, for his friends. This is what makes Sirius worthy of respect.

Chapter 279 Acromantula Encirclement and Suppression Plan

Five people stopped in front of a huge tree stump covered with green moss.

"Now that you have made a decision, listen to my thoughts." Sirius said with a smile, "Actually, I think this is a good opportunity to exercise."

"Opportunity to exercise?!"

Everyone looked at Sirius curiously, not knowing what he meant. How could fighting a dangerous acromantula be a training opportunity? !

"Like most of the young wizards in the school, the four of you have too little combat experience." Sirius explained, "You may not be able to see anything now, but in the real battle with the dark wizard, this is an extremely fatal weakness , must be resolved as soon as possible.”

Hearing what Sirius said, Harry and Ron were somewhat disapproving.

They've seen dark wizards like Quirrell and Peter Pettigrew before, and they're all undeniably evil, but not invincible.

Only Aiwen knows that Sirius is definitely not scaremongering, he knows the strength and methods of real Death Eaters.

Death Eaters like Barty Crouch Jr. and Bellatrix Lestrange are much more difficult to deal with than Peter Pettigrew.

In the face of the Killing Curse, a little negligence can be fatal.

"Sirius, you said this before, that's why you reorganized the Dueling Club." Hermione said suspiciously, "The last gathering was very successful, we all learned a lot of fighting skills and spells, and practiced dueling ..."

"That's true, but the simulated duel between little wizards has limited effect." Sirius waved his hand impatiently, and continued, "Although you all work hard, that kind of child's play duel not only gives you a chance Apart from practicing spells, it doesn't help much in improving combat strength."

"What are we going to do, Sirius?" Harry asked curiously.

"For a qualified wizard, he can grow up only after experiencing the baptism of real battles." Sirius said with a smile, "So, you need real battles, and you need a sufficiently strong opponent!"

"A real battle, a strong enough opponent?!"

"That's right, you can grow up quickly only after experiencing these things." Sirius paused, "I have to say, except for Aiwen, the three of you are still far behind. You know, when I was in your At this age, you can already face the centaur head-on."

Under Harry's questioning, Sirius told everyone about his past.

When he was a third-grade student, during an adventure in the Forbidden Forest, he met Margery, a centaur who had just grown up, and the other party wanted to drive them out of the Forbidden Forest.

Because of this incident, Sirius fought with him and won.

This is also the main reason why Margaret has been obsessed with it and has a bad attitude.

Although Harry has also defeated Voldemort, Basilisk and Dementors in the past three years, most of them rely on luck and other outside help.

In terms of real strength, he was much worse than Sirius at that time.

Compared with Harry, Ron and Hermione's fighting strength is worse.

Of course, Ron needless to say, like most junior wizards, he didn't even master many common spells.

As for Hermione, apart from Divination, Defense Against the Dark Arts was the only subject she was not good at, and she was not good at dealing with things related to combat.But she is much calmer than Harry and Ron, and she also knows a lot of unpopular magic knowledge and spells, which can play unexpected roles at critical moments.

Unlike the three of them, Aiwen's own magical strength is already very strong, far surpassing young wizards of the same age, and even not much worse than adult wizards.

If you don't consider the limitation of mana, and use the recently researched black magic, he can even fight with Sirius and Snape now.

But as Sirius said, Ivan lacks actual combat experience.

If he doesn't use powerful magic that far surpasses his opponent's strength to suppress him, he still can't combine the actual situation and perfectly display his full strength.

He needs more battles and stronger enemies to accumulate experience and improve skills to make up for this weakness.

From this point of view, the giant eight-eyed spider is indeed a good opponent.

"For young wizards of your age, it is still relatively reluctant to challenge the giant spider. I originally had a plan to let you try the less dangerous dark creatures first." Sirius said, "But Considering the requirements of the centaur, we have to speed up the progress. Moreover, Aiwen's analysis just now reminded me that the weakness of the acromantula is very obvious, as long as you are careful, you can avoid accidents."

"What are you going to do, Sirius?" Ivan asked curiously.

"Considering the number of those monsters, we can first try to attack the lone acromantula on the outside of the Forbidden Forest and accumulate experience first." Sirius explained, "Besides, I plan to go to the Dueling Club By proposing this matter, other students can also voluntarily sign up to participate in the challenge against the acromantula."

Next, he explained his plan in detail, including offensive evolution, protective measures, etc., and everyone gradually became excited.

If all the little wizards and professors in the whole school participated in the encirclement and suppression of the Acantaraman, then the safety situation would naturally not need to be considered too much.

As Sirius said, this is a good opportunity to improve one's own strength.

The look on Harry's face was eager to try, and he completely forgot about the danger of the acromantula.

Even Hermione flushed and became excited.

Only Ron, who was extremely afraid of spiders, was still a little worried, and his face was ugly.

For Sirius' plan, Ai Wen very much agrees, this can improve the strength of the little wizards to a higher level, and it will be more secure when fighting Voldemort in the future, but he does not plan to look for the fallen monsters on the periphery with the little wizards. A single acromantula.

If possible, he hopes to go deeper.

About ten minutes later, they finally returned to the path, the surrounding trees were still sparse, and the huge silhouette of Hogwarts Castle could be seen.

"It's midnight now, we'd better hurry," said Sirius.

"I don't know how the party went, is it over?"

Everyone speed up, Sirius didn't leave until after sending them to Gryffindor Tower, Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione climbed into the common room, still discussing in a low voice, discussing with the centaur , Acromantula related matters.

As soon as they entered, they heard deafening cheers.

The rave party isn't over yet, it's reaching its climax, and thanks to Fred and George for keeping the attention, no one even notices that they're out of the common room for so long.It wasn't until one o'clock in the morning that Professor McGonagall, wearing a plaid dressing gown and a hairnet, came to the scene and insisted that everyone go to bed. At this time, the party in Gryffindor House came to an end.

Ivan and Hermione said good night, and followed Colin up the stairs back to the dormitory.

He felt very tired, pulled up the curtain to block out the moonlight, and fell asleep right away as soon as he lay down on the bed.

In his sleep, he dreamed that he was fighting an acromantula.

He killed Aragog, the king of the acromantia, and stood on top of Aragog's deep, bottomless lair, looking down.

I can't explain why, but there seems to be something in it that is attracting me.

Something is whispering, let Aiwen go down and go deep into this cave...

Chapter 280 Action Begins

Through the misty, hemispherical spider web, Ivan looked into Aragog's lair.

The cave that descends slowly is dark and narrow, with no bottom, and warm wind blows up from below.

There seemed to be something below, and Ivan hesitated whether to go down.

In the slow wind, he could hear a deep voice calling himself, calling his name in a low voice...

Before he could make a decision, the temperature of the wind blowing up from the cave suddenly dropped, and it became colder and colder.

Ai Wen shivered, and he felt a gust of cold wind on the back of his neck.

The next second, he woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed. Ivan saw the teasing Peeves floating beside him, blowing hard into his ears.

"What are you doing?!" he asked angrily.

"You nasty Ivan kid!" Peeves puffed up his cheeks and blew even more vigorously.

Then, before Ivan raised his wand, he spun out of the room, giggling.

Aiwen looked at the alarm clock, it was only 04:30, and it was pitch black outside.

Now that he was awake, it was difficult to fall asleep again. He sat on the bed for a while, thinking about the dream just now and what was in Aragog's lair.

Considering that Aragog is far larger than a normal acromantula, the inside of its unusual lair will not be as simple as it seems on the surface, there must be something...

Aiwen is considering whether to go in and investigate, but he is not sure if there is any danger inside, and if he really wants to do this, he has to find a way to solve Aragog.

As a purely dark creature, the acromantula's lair must be the darkest and most evil place in the Forbidden Forest. Even if there are any treasures in it, it must be related to black magic.Aiwen can be sure that he will never be happy to see that kind of thing.

Risking your life to obtain a black magic item that is destined to be useless or even impossible to take out, this is really not worth the candle...

What's more, the whisper of the unknown creature in the wind also made Ivan feel unknown.

He tossed and turned on the bed, and finally decided to give up the idea of ​​going inside the lair to find out.He should now focus on the key to the secret treasure of Gryffindor treasured by the centaur tribe, instead of getting in touch with other dark magic items.

He rolled over, trying to go back to sleep.

But now that he has woken up, it is very difficult to continue to sleep. He struggled for more than ten minutes and got up from the bed again.

Ivan tapped the head of the bed with his wand, and a wooden board quietly opened, revealing a dark cabinet.

He took out a book of black magic from inside, and read it by the dim light of his wand.

Faint fluorescent lights came from the curtains, and in the dark bedroom, there was only a boy leaning on the bedside, concentrating on reading a book...

Due to the carnival last night, the Gryffindor tower was quiet the next morning, and it was not until around noon that everyone came out of the bedroom one after another.

Aiwen followed Colin through the foyer, and when he was walking towards the auditorium, he suddenly saw a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board outside the auditorium gate, reading a piece of parchment that had just been nailed. Some are Hufflepuff students.

Justin Fenrieri looked very excited, and he walked towards Ivan with a smile.

After the basilisk incident last year, he was no longer as afraid of Harry and Ivan as before.

"That's great, Ivan!" Justin said happily, "I'm the only one in this matter. I've thought about it carefully. Although it's dangerous to fight those monsters, there shouldn't be any problem with the professor around. .Moreover, if you can accumulate more combat experience, it may come in handy one day..."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Colin asked in confusion.

He let out a breath, looking dazed.

"Professor Black is gathering people to fight the acromantula in the Forbidden Forest." Justin pointed to the bulletin board and said, "There are also the names of Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione on it. Four are also callers."

"Are you planning to fight those monsters in the Forbidden Forest? Why didn't you notify me earlier?" Colin said excitedly, and read the notice with great interest.

Ivan leaned over and looked at the notice written by Sirius.

The above first introduced in detail the situation of dark creatures such as giant spiders and their current situation in the Forbidden Forest.Then, with the purpose of improving the little wizard's combat experience and fighting skills, volunteers were called to encircle and suppress them.

At the end of the notice, it is also specially marked that everyone can collect the eyes of the giant spider and hand them to Ivan, and they will get a certain amount of Galleons as a reward.

This news spread rapidly in the school, and it didn't take long for almost all the little wizards to know about it. Not surprisingly, everyone was very excited.

All of a sudden, the acromantula became a hot topic.

No one was discussing the just-concluded Quidditch match and the upcoming Quidditch final, but everything related to the acromantula.All the books on this subject in the library have been lent out, and the latest applications have been queued until the end of this school year. No matter where you go, you can hear people talking about acromantula.
