Chapter 168 The truth is revealed
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Perfect idea" Bruce praised sincerely.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione smiled: "Thank you for the compliment."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry urged: "Then what are you waiting for? Let's start."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce took a step back, and Hermione took out her wand: "Fade without a trace."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe spell hit Bruce and made him disappear instantly, but if you look carefully, you will find a brown hairpin floating below where he was just standing. air
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione put away her wand and said: "It's our turn."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry hurriedly opened the invisibility cloak, Hermione and Ron walked in, and just like that, the four "invisible" people left Gryffindor to rest. He walked towards Hagrid's cabin.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp Along the way, they also saw what was probably the strictest guard in the history of Hogwarts. The portraits, statues and even armor were all paying attention to the surroundings. The situation will be notified to the professors immediately.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspFor this reason, Hermione even used a silencing spell to hide their footsteps. Thanks to her idea of placing hairpins on Bruce's feet, the three of them would not bump into him
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen they arrived at Hagrid's hut, the three of them carefully observed the surroundings before taking off the invisibility cloak. Hermione immediately pulled out her wand: "The human form appeared immediately."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe spell hit the air, and Bruce appeared in front of the three of them the next second
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Go inside," Bruce said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe four of them immediately walked to Hagrid's hut. The hut was dark, and Bruce immediately pulled out the wand: "Lumos"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA ball of light immediately appeared above the wand, like a flashlight illuminating the surroundings. In the corner of the room, a big black dog tooth was lying on the ground and looking lazily. Watching them.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce walked over immediately, squatted down and stroked Fang, and said: "Fang, we need your help. Hagrid was taken away by people from the Ministry of Magic. We must find Hagrid’s secret to help him, please take us there.”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter hearing this, Ya Ya made a deep voice, then stood up and walked towards the door.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry was so excited that he picked up an oil lamp and said: "It's great, follow it!"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspUnder the leadership of Yaya, the four of them walked out of the hut and walked towards the Forbidden Forest. On the way, Hermione joked: "You and Harry can each speak snake language." People can speak dog language, it seems Ron and I have to learn other languages too."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Well, you're really flattering me." Bruce said with a smile: "You should study this advanced language of dog language, I can't learn it."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp“Haha”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspYa Ya took them to the edge of the grassland. Beyond that was the Forbidden Forest, but Ya Ya had no intention of stopping.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Take out your wand. This is not a good place in here," Bruce reminded.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them immediately took the wands in their hands, Harry lit the oil lamp, four of them and one dog walked into the Forbidden Forest. The last time they were punished with Malfoy The patrol of the Forbidden Forest was different. That time they were only at the edge of the Forbidden Forest, but this time they might have to go deep into the Forbidden Forest, so the four of them were alert and observed their surroundings along the way.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this moment, Harry, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, shined a light on the ground and said, "Come and take a look."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three walked over and found swarms of spiders crawling in the same direction under the dim firelight.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"It seems that Hagrid's secret is not far away," Bruce said.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Wow"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe Yaya in front barked a few times to signal the four of them to follow him. Bruce said: "Let's go and pay attention to your surroundings."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhile walking, suddenly a strange sound came from the woods, like thunder or the roar of some monster.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Did you hear that?" Hermione asked nervously.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three nodded, and Bruce suddenly pointed to their right and said: "Over there"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspI saw a dark thing among the trees not far away. It was very big and shaking constantly. The four of them all clenched tightly. Magic wand, as soon as that thing comes over, it will immediately "greet" it.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe "buzzing" sounds became more and more frequent, and the four people's breathing became more and more rapid. At this time, Bruce said in surprise: "This sound sounds so familiar. It seems to be an engine."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBefore he finished speaking, two beams of light suddenly came over. The four of them were startled, but they also saw clearly the "monster" The real face breathed a long sigh of relief
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione nodded and said with relief: "You are right, it is indeed the sound of the engine."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "My flying car," Ron said in surprise, "No wonder I didn't find it. It turns out it has been staying in the Forbidden Forest."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Okay, let's take care of it from now on and do business first, don't get lost."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspWhen we got here, we were already deep in the Forbidden Forest. The thick bushes and thick tree roots stretched to the ground. It was very difficult to walk. It took about ten minutes to walk. stopped
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspUnder the light, the four of them saw that the spider swarms were getting denser. Everywhere they looked were spiders, even on the tree. In front of them was a thick giant A "cave" made of tree roots, with all the spiders crawling towards it
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp Moreover, these spiders were much larger than what they had seen before, and they also made "strange" noises. For Ron, who was afraid of spiders, it was absolutely terrifying There is no worse place than this cave
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Are we really going in?" Ron said tremblingly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Relax, Ron is here and he must go in."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Uh" Ron swallowed and said, "Merlin, why are there creatures like spiders in the world?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry raised the oil lamp and said: "Go in"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them immediately bent down and got into the cave. At this point, Ron had no choice but to bite the bullet and follow.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe cave is about ten meters long, but the surrounding walls are smooth and not naturally formed. After walking out of the cave, they came to a place made of huge trees. "Valley" composed of
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe ground has become flat, but it is surrounded by huge trees that are airtight. The thick tree roots are winding and spreading above the head. covered with white spider webs
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspYa Ya sat down at the bottom of a big tree and looked at them. The four people walked over nervously, and suddenly
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Who?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspA low and hoarse voice sounded, and the four of them took a step back in a hurry, and then the voice said again: "Hagrid"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "Don't worry, Hagrid will definitely not harm us if he lets us come here."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThen he replied: "We are Hagrid's friends. It was he who asked Yaya to bring us to you."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAfter saying that, a black "branch" came up from the bottom of the big tree, and then one, two, three, four, Only then did they see that they were not branches at all but hairy spider legs. A spider the size of a flying car crawled out from the base of a tree
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspRon was almost crying, and Bruce and the three of them also looked at the huge spider nervously. They knew that this spider should be the spider named "Aragog" that they saw "fifty years ago". It's just that when Bruce Harry saw it in "Fifty Years Ago", it was only a child. It took fifty years for this guy to grow up like crazy, and it even learned human language.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Are you Aragog?" Hermione asked nervously.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAragog's eight black shining eyes stared at the four people, seeming to examine their threat. It replied: "Yes Hagrid used to No one has ever been sent to look for me.”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce explained: "He is in trouble. There was an attack in the school. I think you should know about it. Hagrid was suspected of opening the secret room. Just like fifty years ago.”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Bruce Harry Hermione" Ron shouted looking around in fear.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Shhh" Hermione immediately signaled him to shut up, and then said to Aragog: "So Hagrid asked us to come to you, he thought you could tell our truth”
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "They are talking nonsense" Aragog's voice was full of anger: "Hagrid has never opened the secret room. They even think that I am the monster in the secret room."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce said: "We know you are not, the monster in the secret room is a basilisk."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Yes, it is a very scary creature. We never mentioned it. Since you know about the basilisk, you must understand that it is the creature that we spiders are most afraid of." Aragog replied.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Everyone," Ron cried again with a cry.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Ron" Bruce looked at Ron helplessly, and then continued to ask: "Then have you seen the appearance of a basilisk?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAragog said: "Except for the box that contained me, I never saw the girl in the castle who was killed in the bathroom until they found me. Thinking that it was me who did it, I escaped. It was Hagrid who let me live here, and it continues to this day. Apart from him, you are the second time I have seen humans."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp "Wait, you mean that girl was killed in the bathroom?" Bruce asked hurriedly.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAragog said: "Yes, Hagrid mentioned this when he brought me here. It has been a long time."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce immediately said to Harry: "Do you remember which floor the girl was lifted down from?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Second floor" Harry replied: "Being carried down from the second floor by four people"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione was stunned and said hurriedly: "Myrtle, the girl who was killed fifty years ago in the girls' bathroom on the second floor was Myrtle."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspNow I understand everything
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe girl who was killed fifty years ago was Myrtle. She was killed in the bathroom, which means that the entrance to the secret room is probably in The bathroom on the second floor. But instead of feeling happy, they felt ridiculous and helpless.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp"Damn" Bruce said with a bitter smile: "It turns out the answer has always been around us. We have been in the bathroom on the second floor for all this time and we haven't even asked Myrtle. "thing"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHermione said: "It's not too late to know now, isn't it? If we go back and ask Myrtle now, we will definitely find the whereabouts of the secret room."
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspHarry said hurriedly: "Yes, let's go back quickly. Ron, what's wrong with you?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAt this time, Bruce and the three of them noticed Ron's "strange" behavior. His expression was uglier than crying, and he looked at the three people in horror. Point to the top
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspThe three of them raised their heads and looked instantly stunned, no, they were "stunned"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspI saw that the trees in the sky were covered with spider webs, layer after layer, airtight, but the point was that there was a spider hanging from those spider webs. Some spiders the size of teeth have even fallen around. Ron discovered this just now, but the three of them were immersed in the conversation with Aragog and didn't pay attention.
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspBruce immediately asked: "Aragog, what do you mean?"
&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbsp&a;a;nbspAragog gave a sinister sneer and said: "My children will listen to my words and will not hurt Hagrid, but how can I let the delicious meal delivered to my door They refused, so stay tuned Hagrid’s friends” To be continued.
