The Emerald at Hogwarts

The twins had had this idea for a long time, when they were still in first grade and encountered the Acromantula for the first time in the Forbidden Forest.Now that they are in fourth grade, they take the initiative to look for Acromantula, but this idea still cannot disappear from their minds.

Ada believed that she would soon see a good show of "brothers and friends", and hoped that Mr. and Mrs. Weasley would not break the twins' legs.

The light emitted from the tip of the wand gradually weakened, but the light did not disappear. Instead, it slowly fell down to form a barrier to firmly protect the three of them.

The three people got into the spider cave together. This was a terrifying scene they had never seen in their lives. Huge creatures inhabited the cave, with eight eyes and eight legs, dark and hairy.

These huge spiders seemed to be awakened by the sound of footsteps or the delicious human smell. They stretched their long black silk legs and made a "click, click" sound with their giant claws.

The sound was so frightening that even the brave Ada had goosebumps all over her body. The twins looked nervous and lost the chatter and laughter they had just had outside the cave entrance.

There are thousands of spiders, but Ada and the twins are not careful. The ferocious Acromantula is not the kind of little spider that hangs in the corner and eats flying insects.

The Acromantulas woke up one after another, and there was a rustling sound in the cave.

Some impatient spiders tried to get closer to Ada and the others, turning the three of them into their own meals. However, whenever they tried to get close, the barrier protecting the three would emit light, forcing the Acromantulas to retreat.

There is a depression in the cave. In the center of the depression is a misty hemispherical spider web, and a spider as big as a small elephant slowly emerges.Its body and legs were black with gray, and each eye on its ugly head with big pincers was covered with a layer of white.It is blind.

There was a "click, click" sound in the cave, and then some spiders spoke human language, saying: "Aragog, Aragog."

Ada calmly adjusted herself and said, "Are you Aragog, the Spider King? We are Hagrid's friends."

"You disturbed my rest. This is not what Hagrid's friends should do." Aragog waved its giant claws, obviously it did not welcome the visit of the three Adas.

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to disturb your sleep." Ada said, "I came here with questions, and I hope the Spider King can answer my questions."

Aragog waved his giant claws impatiently, and said impatiently: "Humans, I have no such obligation, kill them!"

Under Aragog's order, countless spiders approached the three of Aida. This small protective shield seemed unable to stop the impact of so many spiders.

At this moment, George suddenly became wise and said loudly: "We are here for the monster in the castle, the monster in the secret room!"

The giant spiders seemed to understand what George said. They no longer moved forward, but retreated out of fear.

"The secret chamber has been opened, beware those who are enemies of the heir!" Ada continued. The spiders backed away out of fear, which confirmed Ada's suspicion.

She continued: "Since the secret room was opened, the spiders in the castle have been escaping crazily. The castle has not changed much, except that there are more monsters entrenched in the secret room. It prompted you to escape from the castle, right?"

"I don't like your tone very much!" Aragog said, clicking his claws angrily, "I don't know any secret rooms or monsters. It's just that my children told me that the ancient things we fear most are The creature has woken up, this creature feeds on us and is our natural enemy!”

Feeding on spiders, their natural enemies, was Ada's first harvest.

"You said it woke up," Ada continued, "that means it was once active in the castle. It might have been alive all along, right?"

"I told you, I don't like your tone!" Aragog said angrily, and his descendants were also approaching the three of Ada.

Acromantulas can lay up to a hundred eggs at a time.The eggs are white, soft, and about the size of a floating balloon.The eggs hatch from six to eight weeks.And Aragog has lived in the Forbidden Forest for decades, so one can imagine how large his family will be.

Ada was indifferent, as if she didn't see the giant spider that was slowly approaching. She continued to ask: "You have seen it or noticed it, right?"

"Yes, many years ago, when I lived with Hagrid in the castle, I once noticed its activities." Aragog seemed to calm down his emotions, "Then, a child died. Stupid It’s ridiculous that humans regard me as a murderer!”

Ada nodded, she had never figured out why Hagrid was expelled, and now she found the reason.From Aragog's words, it can be deduced that the secret room was once opened, and the monster hiding inside killed a student.

And Hagrid was wronged just like Harry now.Acromantulas are vicious by nature and often attack people, so Hagrid was regarded as the murderer.Coupled with the fact that Hagrid did not have the blessing of a savior aura, he and his furry pets were naturally kicked out of school.

The secret room was once opened and a student was killed. This was Ada's second gain.

"Last question, Aragog." Ada said, "What is the monster entrenched in the secret room?"

"We won't tell!" said Aragog passionately. "We won't tell its name! I didn't even tell Hagrid the name of that horrible creature, though he asked me, many times."

After all, Aragog was Hagrid's pet, and Ada was quite fond of the burly Hagrid, so she didn't press the Acromantula too much.Ada has gotten enough information today, and it won't be long before she can figure out the monster's name.

"I think it's time for us to leave," Ada said. "King of Spiders, may you and your kingdom prosper."

After speaking, Ada and the twins slowly backed away together. The three of them stared closely at the spiders to prevent them from rising up and hurting people.

"Let's go?" Aragog said, "You have asked so many questions, isn't it my turn?"

The entrance to the cave has been blocked by spiders, and the spider webs that were cut open have reappeared, and they are thicker than before.Ada and the twins had no choice but to stop. Fred and George raised their wands high, and the two brothers used dispersing spells to repel several giant spiders that rushed towards the three of them.

"Stop!" Aragog shouted loudly. The giant spiders stopped and did not approach the three of them anymore, but they had already surrounded them.

Aragog continued: "A few years ago, three humans entered the Forbidden Forest. They killed and injured many of my children. Those three people must be you!"

Aragog was very sure. Regardless of whether Ada or the others admitted it or not, the Acromantula recognized them.

"Yes, it's us." Fred said, "Your sons and daughters are going to eat us, can't we fight back?"

"It's best to let your children get out of the way," George followed. "We are no longer the little brats we were before. Do you want your children to try again?"

The Acromantulas in the cave have tried to attack them many times. Even if they refuse to admit it, or lower their heads and say soft words, it will not work. These ugly bugs have already regarded them as their meal.

It's better to simply admit it and let the other party fear them and worry about them, maybe this can avoid this fight and not have to fight to the death with these ugly bugs.

"Just admit it, just admit it." Aragog said slowly, "I hope you are prepared to die before coming here. I am very happy that my children can get a delicious meal. .”

"Are you sure?" Ada asked with a smile, her eyes forming a beautiful crescent moon behind her gold-rimmed glasses.

"My sons and daughters obeyed my orders and did not harm Hagrid. But fresh human flesh was automatically delivered to the door, and it was the flesh and blood of the enemy. I could not stop them from enjoying it. Farewell, young humans..." Aragog The giant claws made a "click, click" sound again.

After receiving Aragog's order, the Acromantulas formed a solid, towering copper wall. Their large claws clicked together, and many pairs of eyes shone on those ugly black heads...

Like a black tide, the Acromantula quickly swarmed towards the three of them.There are only three teenage wizards, so there are only so many delicious meals, first come, first served.

The corners of Ada's mouth curled up slightly, and her wand pointed diagonally at the ground. She turned in a circle, and blue flames suddenly rose where the wand was pointing.

The blue flame formed a wall of fire, separating the three Adas from the Acromantula.

The spiders running at the front plunged into the blue flames, and in an instant they were burned to ashes by the flames.Even if just one of the eight legs touches the flame, the blue flame will engulf the entire spider in an instant.

The Acromantulas were not afraid and rushed towards the blue wall of fire, trying to extinguish the flames with their numerical advantage.However, this flame has no tendency to extinguish at all. On the contrary, it is getting stronger and stronger, with the potential to start a prairie fire.

Some of the spiders climbed above the heads of the three Adas, trying to bring justice from the sky, using their giant claws to attack the three humans who dared to break into the spider cave from above.

But the Acromantula failed to let the three of them experience the claws falling from the sky. The blue flames suddenly shot up and ignited all the giant spiders above the heads of Ada and the three of them. Only pieces of ashes fell from the sky.

The barrier protecting the three people glowed faintly, isolating the ashes and preventing the three people from getting any ashes.

The blue wall of fire continued to expand, and the Acromantulas were retreating steadily. They had nothing to do with the flames.The ferocious giant spiders were terrified. The deadly flames in front of them were even more terrifying than the one in the castle.

The twins stared at the flames dumbfounded, everything in front of them was like purgatory.The two brothers didn't expect Ada to have such a back-up plan. Where did she go the month she disappeared?What has she learned?
