The days of hanging out at Hogwarts

On the road from the castle to Hagrid's hut, the four Lorens shrank against the cold wind.

There was no class in the afternoon, and Harry did not continue to torture Loren's conscience. They decided to take this opportunity to visit Hagrid.

There is a fireplace in the castle, and maybe some magic to keep warm. It is very warm inside the castle. Only now a few people can really experience the winter in Hogwarts.

The four of them put their hands in their sleeves and gathered them in front of their bodies. Most of their faces were tucked into their scarves, covering everything below their eyes.

"Alas!" Ron sighed, "Why do we have to visit Hagrid in such a cold weather?"

Harry tightened his grip and said, "We haven't been here since it started snowing. Hagrid must miss us."

Hermione's teeth were chattering, "Hagrid wants to guard the Forbidden Forest, we can't leave him alone."

Loren missed the fur blanket in his box very much. He didn't notice it at the time, but now he thought it was an alchemy item. It had the effect of preventing wind and keeping warm. There was no need for a bonfire on the snow-capped mountains at night. Nico casually used it to set up a street stall and wrap books, and finally fell into his hands.

Wrong decision, I will definitely bring it with me next time I go out.

After walking into the woods, it's still a short way to Hagrid's hut.

Click click click~

Harry stretched out his shrinking neck and looked around, "Did you hear anything?"

"It's the wind," Ron muttered.

The four of them continued walking forward.

"squeak!"

A huge spider suddenly sprang out from behind the tree in front, hissing at several people.

Ron's eyes almost popped out of his sockets. He had been afraid of spiders since he was a child, let alone such a terrifying monster.

The giant spider is about the same size as Hagrid, with thick black hair all over its body. There are six slightly smaller eyes next to the huge eyes on the top of its head, which are white. Its claws make a clearly audible clicking sound.

"Acromantula!" With such obvious features, Loren recognized it at a glance.

Loren pulled Hermione, and Harry pulled Ron. The four of them quickly backed away, not wanting to have any contact with such dangerous magical creatures.

Harry felt as if Ron was under a binding spell, and his whole body was stiff.

But the giant spider kept staring at the direction of the four people's footsteps. It was eyeing these little wizards.

"We are Hagrid's friends, let us pass!"

Loren stepped back and made a tentative sound.

Acromantulas can communicate, and their intelligence is not much lower than that of humans.

"Humans have awakened my hibernation, and I have to pay for it!" The Acromantula's voice was so distorted that it was impossible to tell the difference between male and female. Its head has been facing the direction of the four people.

"[Legs stand stiff and stop dead]"

"[Burning flames]"

Loren and Hermione stood up and cast spells one after another.

Loren's communication was just a test, he never trusted the beast. Hermione, on the other hand, was familiar with Loren's spellcasting and reacted quickly to keep up.

Harry also quickly added a [Petrified All], only Ron was still in a daze.

The leg-locking curse hit the Acromantula and immediately locked five of its eight legs tightly together. The giant spider only relied on three legs to maintain balance. Hermione's fire spell ignited the black hair on the giant spider's body, and the flames quickly spread all over the body. Finally, the giant spider fell to the ground under the influence of the binding spell.

Several people slowly retreated while observing the situation. Compared to the giant monster, which had a thick skin and was almost immune to magic, the Acromantula, which could still be controlled, seemed less scary. Except for Ron, everyone else was not that panicked.

After the flames burned the black hair on the giant spider's body, it failed to ignite the giant spider's limbs and quickly extinguished. The Acromantula also broke free from the restraining spell and leg-locking spell.

"Go to hell!" The Acromantula shook its jointed limbs and quickly crawled towards several people.

Loren, Hermione, and Harry aimed their wands at the Acromantula. Before they could chant the spell, a dull sound suddenly came from the woods.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Uh-huh! A huge figure rushed out of the bushes, making a small ditch-like scratch on the snow, and Yaya followed behind.

"Hagrid!" Harry shouted happily.

Hagrid was huge and came flying towards Harry. He didn't even look at Harry and hit the Acromantula.

Bang bang bang, a series of loud noises. Hagrid knocked down seven or eight big trees with the giant spider before stopping.

The four Harrys hurriedly followed to check the situation.

The Acromantula fell to the ground, most of its limbs were smashed to pieces, and several large holes were opened in its abdomen. White spider web mucus spurted out and condensed into sticky balls and silk webs. It didn't even have time to scream.

"Huh, are you okay?" Hagrid asked angrily, a little out of breath, and the fur coat on his body had some tears.

The scene just now was so shocking that Loren and Hermione had not yet recovered. One is a huge spider monster, and the other is a huge humanoid warrior. They collide simply, directly, and quickly to resolve the battle.

It was different from any magic battle in their impression, there was no magic at all. No wonder Hagrid can live in the Forbidden Forest. There are few in the entire forest who can withstand the barbaric collision.

Ron was confused from beginning to end. It was the first time he saw such a big spider, and his mind was still spinning.

Harry shook his head, "How did you know we were here?"

Hagrid started talking about the situation. Just now, Yaya suddenly became manic and screamed uneasily. He pulled Hagrid and ran outside. When he got nearby, Hagrid saw the situation of Harry and others. I was too worried and ran into him in a hurry.

"Why is there an Acromantula at the edge of the Forbidden Forest? It just said that someone woke it up from hibernation." Hermione wanted to know the reason. Something was not right today.

Hagrid was a little sad, "These are Aragog's children. They should stay in their lairs in the winter, and no one in the forest will mess with them."

The Acromantulas are all the children of his friend Aragog. He just saw that Harry was in danger and couldn't care so much for a while, but now he feels that he can't help Aragog.

"There must be other people with bad intentions who have entered the depths of the Forbidden Forest." Loren reminded.

Quirrell's body is much weaker than at the beginning of this semester. It must be that they went into the forest to look for blood food and disturbed the hibernating Acromantula.

"Come with me to the house to warm up first," Hagrid greeted a few people and said as he walked, "I will go and inform the centaurs tribe in the evening."

I stopped by to see Aragog, but I didn’t tell many people about this.

"Do you want to inform Principal Dumbledore?"

"That makes sense."

After entering the hut to warm up, Hagrid poured tea and took out snacks for several people.

With the comfort of Rock Skin Cake, he quickly put aside the Acromantula matter and talked about some things in school.

Harry told Hagrid that he already knew about the Philosopher's Stone.

Hagrid felt a little guilty. He felt that it was he who revealed Nico Flamel's name that allowed Harry to find the Philosopher's Stone. This was a disgrace to Dumbledore's trust.

When talking about Snape's intention to steal the Sorcerer's Stone, Hermione secretly observed Loren's expression and was relieved when she saw that he had no special reaction.

Hagrid was a little angry with himself and said irritably, "Snape would never want to kill a student. Now you all listen to me. This matter has nothing to do with you. This is very dangerous! Forget the road. Wei, forget about the Philosopher’s Stone and never get involved in this matter again!”

Harry wisely kept his mouth shut, and Ron and Hermione didn't mention it.

Loren took a sip of tea and remained silent, laughing to death. If the three of them could hear one word of this sentence, they would no longer be Gryffindors.

Putting aside the Philosopher's Stone, Hagrid quickly forgot about the previous unpleasantness and started talking about the Christmas vacation. Not long ago, Sirius asked for the Flying Motorcycle back.

"You will have an unforgettable Christmas! Harry." Hagrid was happy for Harry.

Harry was looking forward to the upcoming Christmas.
