Daily Life at Hogwarts Chapter 275: Sneak attack
Before leaving, Albert glanced back at the jungle behind him, and said to Hagrid: "The centaurs probably don't make any difference between wizards and Muggles. Those guys prefer to be a master of the world, Complete bystander."
Hagrid, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, glanced at Albert, and then looked around and said, "The centaurs are really difficult to get along with. I spent many years at Hogwarts before I learned to deal with them. deal."
"I went through Centaur literature in the library. They are well versed in magical healing, divination, archery and astronomy."
Albert has taken the time to look up centaurs since his dealings with centaurs, who would rather be seen as beasts by the Ministry of Magic than deal with wizards.
In the Ministry of Magic, there is a joke about "being sent to the Centaur Liaison Office", which means the person will be fired immediately because no Centaurs have ever used the Centaur Liaison Office and they don't welcome people from the Ministry of Magic .
"Don't mess with centaurs, they're usually arrogant," reminded Hagrid worriedly, knowing that Albert didn't get along well with centaurs.
"I don't usually take the initiative to provoke others." Albert shook his head, followed behind Hagrid, and walked in the direction Ronan pointed.
However, luck is not on their side.
The two have been searching in the Forbidden Forest for a long time, but still haven't found any trace left by Lou Wei, it seems to have disappeared out of thin air.
This is not a good sign.
"Go back, Hagrid." Albert looked at Hagrid's back and suggested aloud, "We need a different approach."
"I'm going to see Aragog." Hagrid hesitated before saying, "Maybe, Aragog will know where Fluffy is."
"Who is Aragog?" Albert asked curiously. He thought it might be the name of an eight-eyed giant spider. In the sixth book, Hagrid buried an eight-eyed giant spider.
"Aragog was raised by me..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, but told Albert, "A giant eight-eyed spider."
"Is it really an eight-eyed giant spider? I won't go with you. That incident last year didn't have a good relationship with the group of giant spiders. Be careful yourself." Albert did not object. Hagrid went to find his Aragog Octopus, but he wouldn't go.
Knowing that the sheep is in the tiger's mouth, and desperately digging forward, only a fool would do this.
"Don't worry, they won't hurt you with me here," Hagrid assured, patting his chest hard.
"You probably don't know that last year, in order to save George and Fred, who were surrounded by eight-eyed giant spiders, I killed several eight-eyed giant spiders and brought down hundreds of them." Albert read Looking at Hagrid, his expression suddenly became strange, "Of course I believe that you will try your best to protect my safety, but I don't believe in eight-eyed giant spiders, they are cruel by nature and like to eat human flesh, I believe those big guys won't mind. I threw myself into the net."
"I'm here, the Aragog community won't hurt you." Hagrid was stunned for a moment, and said with certainty.
"Aragog may not, but the other eight-eyed spiders, only a powerful dark wizard can use power to command those spiders." Albert did not believe Hagrid's words, but he did not Don't trust Hagrid's judgment.
"I'm going back." He turned to find a place to Apparate and head back directly to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.
"Wait, I'll take you off..." Hagrid was worried that Albert would go back by himself. The other party kindly helped him find Lou Wei, and he also needed to be responsible for Albert's safety.
At this moment, a rustling sound suddenly sounded around, as if something was moving quickly towards this side.
"Look out, come to me!" Hagrid raised his bow and aimed in the direction of the sound.
Albert was on alert at the moment the voice sounded, waving his wand and preparing to use defensive magic to protect himself.
However, it's too late.
A dark shadow sprang out of the forest like an arrow and rushed towards Albert.
"Be careful." Hagrid, startled and angry, shot an arrow at the shadow, but was easily avoided by the shadow. Seeing that the shadow was about to pounce on Albert, he saw that Albert didn't know Muttering something, he raised his left hand and moved forward to push something.
Bang!
A dull sound rang out in the Forbidden Forest.
The black shadow that attacked Albert at high speed slammed into an invisible magical shield, like a galloping bull, slammed into a thick city wall, and the result was self-evident.
The shadow was bounced out by the anti-shock force, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.
"Thunderbolt explosion!" Albert waved his wand and directly hit the attacker with the most lethal magic he currently masters. An orange magic focused the shadow, causing it to shatter into pieces.
The body of the attacker splattered everywhere in the explosion, and Albert had to step back, looking at the spider leg that had fallen at his feet, and muttered: "Unfortunately, the reaction was a bit too extreme."
The corpse of the Octopus was almost blown to pieces ~IndoMTL.com~ and was of little value.
Looking at the large amount of gold coins slipping away from his fingers, Albert felt a little helpless about his overreaction just now.
The momentary change just now made Hagrid's mood go up and down like a roller coaster. He was still angry that something was about to attack Albert, but he didn't expect that Albert would kill him in the blink of an eye.
"Are you all right?" Hagrid stepped forward immediately to check on Albert's condition.
"It's fine." Albert comforted. Since I dare to enter the forbidden forest with you, there is a way to protect myself.
Hagrid showed an ugly smile and looked up at the dark shadow that attacked Albert, with a more complicated expression. Although the body was blown up by the Explosive Curse, Hagrid was still able to identify the attacker.
A giant eight-eyed spider.
After seeing the dead body of the eight-eyed spider, Hagrid's face instantly turned ugly. He just patted his chest and assured Albert that he would definitely keep him safe. As a result...
"It's not your fault." Albert reached out and patted Hagrid on the shoulder, "I'll go back first."
"Don't, I'll take you back." Hagrid hurried to catch up. When this happened, he wouldn't dare to let Albert go back by himself.
"Don't worry, we will find Lou Wei." Albert comforted casually. After all, the protection of the Philosopher's Stone will use it.
"However, I still think it's best if you take the initiative to confess this matter to Professor Dumbledore yourself." Albert said, "The Headmaster won't blame you."
Hagrid was silent again, hesitating.
"Think about it, it's best to find Lou Wei before he gets you into trouble."
On the way back to Hogwarts, the two were not attacked again, and returned to Hagrid's cabin smoothly. Before leaving, Albert and Hagrid agreed to meet in the afternoon.
