The Son of Light of the Snake House

Aragog hesitated for a moment, swung his two pincers, and asked slowly:

"What do you mean? Hagrid never sends anyone to our land."

"It's literally." Daniel straightened his back, facing the blind spider whose eyes were covered with white film. "Of course, you can also understand it as - I'm here to give Hagrid justice, about the incident 50 years ago."

"...What do you want to know?" Aragog paused, it seemed a little angry, but suppressed his emotions.

"Everything." Daniel reached into his backpack and grabbed Coco's mouth, who was about to talk, and continued: "It's best to tell me everything you know, everything you know."

Aragog flapped his pincers angrily, and the sound was echoed by the swarm of spiders in the hollow: it was like a tidal wave of applause at a football match, but naturally, the applause heard on a football field was not as loud as this. Goosebumps.

"You threatened me, aren't you afraid that I will eat you?" Aragog asked.

Daniel said calmly, "That depends on how important Hagrid is in your heart, Mr. Aragog."

"But that was many years ago," Aragog said angrily. "Many, many years ago. I remember it well. That's why they let him leave the school. They believed I was the monster that lived in what they called the Chamber of Secrets. They thought it was Hagrid who opened the Chamber of Secrets and let me out."

"But the monster in the secret room is not you, is it?" Daniel continued.

"Yes, yes. I!" cried Aragog, wagging his pincers angrily, "I was not born in a castle. I came from a far land. When I was not hatched from the egg, A traveler gave me to Hagrid. Hagrid was only a child, but he took care of me, hid me in a cupboard in the castle, and fed me the crumbs that fell on the table. Hagrid He was a good friend of mine, and he was a good man. He protected me when people found me and made me responsible for a girl's death. I've been living in the woods ever since, and Hagrid Sees me often. He even found me a wife—Mossag. You see how prosperous our family is, and it's all thanks to Hagrid..."

"You didn't attack that girl, did you?" Daniel interrupted its compliment to Hagrid.

"Of course! I haven't even attacked any human!" The old spider's tone sounded very resentful: "I have this kind of instinct, but out of respect for Hagrid, I never hurt a person. The one who was killed The girl's body was found in a bathroom. I've never seen any part of the castle except the cupboard I grew up in. We spiders love darkness and silence..."

"Then do you know what the monster in the secret room is?"

Suddenly, there was a clattering sound, and countless long legs were rustling; a huge black shadow dangled around him.

"The guy that lived in the castle," said Aragog, "was an ancient creature that we spiders fear most. I remember well pleading with Hagrid when I sensed the beast moving about the school. let me go."

"So, what is that creature?" Daniel decided not to listen to such useless information.

Rusting noises came from all around, and shadows gradually enveloped... It seemed that spiders surrounded him, and Aragog was very emotional.

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

Daniel smiled unaffected: "Do you think I won't know what it is if you don't tell me?"

Coco crawled out from the zipper seam of the backpack, entangled on Daniel's shoulders, wrapped around his fair neck, like a gleaming scarf under the moonlight.

She stood upright, uttered a snake letter, and stared closely at the spiders approaching Daniel with her scarlet eyes.

"Good girl." Daniel reached out and patted Coco's head, then smiled and looked at Aragog who was on guard.

"Did you know? In the Muggle world, there is an ancient legend. In Greek mythology, there is a Medusa, a gorgon that everyone is familiar with. Medusa has bronze claws and boar teeth. There is giant in the blood, sight can make people petrified, Perseus, the son of Zeus, used a bright shield as a mirror to defeat the banshee and cut off her head, her blood fell into the Libyan desert and became a poisonous snake."

Daniel spoke slowly, but was interrupted by Aragog who couldn't wait: "You, you are a Parseltongue? Your pet..."

Daniel ignored it, and he paced in the center of the venue: "When I first heard about petrification, I felt very familiar, but I didn't believe that the legendary Medusa really existed in Hogwarts .”

Then he raised his head: "I checked a lot of information in the library, but I didn't dare to confirm it. After all, that kind of creature really made me a 'little wizard from a Muggle family' at a loss. But when I think about it now, just now Your attitude says it all."

Aragog took two steps back inexplicably, without saying a word.

"You haven't seen Hagrid for a long time, Aragog. He's had a little trouble recently. All his roosters were killed, right after the Chamber of Secrets was opened."

"It's weird, isn't it? Who would want to do that to a group of innocent - whoooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo up every day" roosters guarding the hens It is a weapon against the monsters in the secret room."

"Parseltongue can hear whispers in Hogwarts, Parseltongue can open Slytherin's secret room, and Parseltongue can command the monster in the secret room. Does this mean that the monster is a snake?"

Daniel carefully observed Aragog's state, and finally laughed freely: "You are not afraid of snakes, are you? But you are afraid of that creature."

"It must be a big snake, right? Big enough to swallow you all, or... to move smoothly through the pipes of Hogwarts?"

Aragog finally seemed to have recovered his voice, and said, "I don't know, and I won't say it."

"Really?" Daniel asked nonchalantly. "It doesn't matter, Aragog, you don't know, someone will always know."

Aragok knew that he shouldn't ask, so he was silent for a long time, but he still waved his front pincers rattling, and asked, "Who else would know... Dumbledore?"

"Maybe he knows." Daniel didn't directly deny: "But I'm not talking about him. Do you remember what happened on the night when Slytherin's chamber of secrets was opened 50 years ago?"

Aragog sneered: "Of course! That night, a girl died in the bathroom..."

Daniel nodded approvingly, pulled Coco off, wrapped it around his wrist twice, and tied a knot: "What if that girl never left after she died?"

"..." Aragog remained silent.

Daniel looked at the moon in the sky indifferently: "Now that the matter has been clarified, I will take my leave. Goodbye, Mr. Aragog."

The author has something to say:

I really want to write a sand sculpture episode, but I want to get rid of the plot quickly, aba aba aba aba.

The quality of sleep at home is better, and it is still happy at home, okay.
