Chapter 144
The old man was so angry that he said, "Hagrid!" Harry couldn't believe his ears and sat up. He looked at Ron in disbelief. "How...how could it be him?" "Before, the Daily Prophet published a report about him, and there was a photo of the Minister of Magic apologizing to him in person!" "If we go find him, we will definitely learn a lot about the inside story of that year!" Ron was firm, which made Harry hesitate. "But...but..." Harry still remembered the last time Ron reported Hagrid for secretly raising a dragon. Although nothing happened in the end, it was a betrayal of a friend after all. In the subsequent interactions with Hagrid, he always felt guilty. Try not to bother the other party as much as possible! "No buts! The sooner we find out the truth, the sooner we can prove your identity!"
"Don't you have an invisibility cloak? We'll go there later!"
Ron became more and more excited as he spoke.
He had already begun to imagine the scene of being worshipped by countless classmates after he found out the truth and exposed the true face of the evil Slytherin.
Harry couldn't resist Ron's stubbornness. After everyone in the Gryffindor common room fell asleep, he put on the invisibility cloak and quietly went to Hagrid's hut with Ron.
"Who's outside!"
Hagrid patrols the Forbidden Forest all year round and has an extremely sharp reaction.
Hearing a sound from outside the door, he picked up a giant crossbow from the wall and shouted at the door.
Bang!
There was no sound for a long time, and Hagrid couldn't help but kick the door open.
He looked around with the crossbow.
"Who is it? Is there anyone?"
"It's us, Hagrid!"
Harry lifted the invisibility cloak, fearing that Hagrid would shoot them accidentally.
Hagrid breathed a sigh of relief and threw the crossbow aside.
"It's you, come in, I just made a pot of tea."
"You're here so late, you must be hungry?"
"Would you like some rock cakes?"
"No, Hagrid, we came to you for business!" Harry said.
"Do you know who opened the Chamber of Secrets?"
Hagrid's hand froze as he poured the tea, and he put the teapot on the table, saying with a serious expression: "Harry, this is not something you should be exposed to."
"Trust Professor Dumbledore, he will take care of it!"
"Hagrid, we can't let that evil Slytherin continue to stay in school..."
"Ron!"
Harry realized something was wrong the moment Ron opened his mouth.
Subconsciously covered Ron's mouth to stop him from continuing.
Hagrid frowned: "Evil Slytherin? You mean Argus?"
"It can't be him!"
"When that happened, he wasn't even born! Not to mention now!"
"I believe that with his character, he can't do such a thing!"
When mentioning Argus, Hagrid's attitude immediately changed 180 degrees.
He didn't pour the tea, and didn't take the rock cake.
His eyes were full of protection.
"Hagrid, Ron didn't mean that!"
Harry wanted to explain for his good friend, but Ron's interruption made things worse.
In desperation, he had to choose to leave.
"It's all the fault of that evil Slytherin! If it weren't for him, we would definitely get the news from Hagrid!"
Ron muttered as he walked, attributing all the reasons for the failure to Argus.
As they walked, a beam of light caught their attention.
The two looked closely, and Arthur Weasley's flying car came in front of them for some reason.
"Harry, look, it's my dad's flying car!"
Ron shook Harry's arm in surprise.
"The Ministry of Magic didn't find it last time. If we can take it back, maybe I can get less scolding when I go home!"
"Hurry up, let's find a place to hide it!"
"It's too late, Ron, why don't we..."
As he spoke, Ron had already caught up.
Harry stamped his feet anxiously, gritted his teeth, and still caught up.
But with their legs and feet, and without any magic, it was almost impossible to catch up with the flying car.
"Ron, we've gone too far. If we go deeper, we'll enter the Forbidden Forest!"
"Let's ask Hagrid to come with us tomorrow morning?"
"Who knows where it will run to tomorrow? If we don't find a place to hide it today, it will be difficult to find it again!"
Ron was unwilling to give up. He looked up at the dark Forbidden Forest, and his eyes showed hesitation again.
"We only chased it to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest. If it runs inside again, we will go back and wait until tomorrow."
Harry sighed and nodded to follow.
The two entered the Forbidden Forest and walked for an unknown distance.
The distance that could be seen around them was only a few meters.
"Look! Where is the flying car!"
"Let's drive it back to Hagrid's cabin and let Hagrid take a look for us."
"Wait for me to write a letter to my dad and ask him to drive the car away."
Ron walked forward quickly.
He was completely unaware that he was surrounded by rustling footsteps.
...
Slytherin Common Room.
Argus had just put down his book and was ready to rest.
A fire suddenly lit up in the air.
Fox held a note in his mouth and put it on the table, motioning Argus to look at it.
"What's going on in the middle of the night?"
Argus frowned and reached out to pick up the note.
There was only one sentence on it.
"Harry is in danger in the Forbidden Forest."
"Forbidden Forest? Why would he go there at night?" Seeing the information on the note, Argus became even more upset.
You know he is in danger, why don't you go there yourself?
Must I clean up the mess for him?
Just because of the deal between us, you can let me clean it up, and never do it yourself, right?
Argus was so angry that his teeth were itching, but Fox didn't give him a chance to delay.
He grabbed Argus's sleeve with his claws and disappeared in the dormitory in an instant.
When Argus opened his eyes again, a man and a bird had arrived in the Forbidden Forest.
Harry and Ron were surrounded by countless Acromanthus spiders, driving the flying car recklessly, trying to break through their encirclement.
But there were too many Acromanthus spiders around, and the Forbidden Forest was overgrown with bushes.
The flying car couldn't even fly, and couldn't get out at all!
"No, if we attack directly, it will be difficult for Harry and the others to escape."
"Fox, do you know where Aragog is?"
Fox looked at Argus doubtfully, as if he didn't quite understand what he was saying.
Argus wasn't sure if Fox didn't understand him or didn't know what Aragog was.
He described it in more detail.
"Aragog is the leader of this group of giant spiders. Do you know where it is?"
Fox nodded and grabbed Argus again.
With a flash of fire, Argus appeared in a cave.
The entire cave was surrounded by spider webs, and thick tree roots were intertwined.
A huge eight-eyed giant spider that had never been seen before appeared in front of him.
"Who's here?"
"Hagrid? Is it you?"
"The flames are blazing!"
Argus didn't say anything at all, and burned the surroundings with a fire.
He knew the nature of this giant spider too well!
How many dirty things did it do secretly in the Forbidden Forest without telling Hagrid!
They have no human concept, they are just a bunch of beasts!
You don't need to communicate with them, just use your fists!
Aragog was caught off guard by the sudden flames and hurriedly retreated.
Before it could take two steps.
A thick red beam lit up!
"Expelliarmus!"
Crack!!!
Argus didn't want to kill it, and hit its leg with all his strength before it could withdraw.
Pale green blood gushed out along the broken leg!
Aragog let out a heart-wrenching wail!
"I don't have time to talk nonsense with you, listen, I'll only say it once!"
"Now, bring all your descendants back!"
