Hogwarts: Harley from the Witch Path

Chapter 211 You call this a foal?
Not long after Harry left, a large group of acromanders suddenly appeared in the depths of the Forbidden Forest.

The few giant arachnids at the head seemed to be the deserters from before.

Looking at the tragic battlefield and the corpses of their own race, they couldn't help becoming angry, and started frantically looking for the murderer.

But the group of giant eight-eyed spiders found nothing.

Halle has been careful, dealt with all the clues, and even used essential oils to cover up her smell before leaving.

In the end, they could only clean up the battlefield, and carried the corpses of other clans back to their lair.

The old nest of the acromanders is located in a wide depression deep in the Forbidden Forest.

The trees there have already been cleared away, leaving only large stretches of spider webs.

Many acromantulas as big as horses were constantly moving, waving their claws at each other.

In the middle of a misty spider web in the center of the depression, there is an old spider the size of a small elephant.

It was black all over, with abnormal gray spots on it, like the age spots of an old Muggle man.

The giant [-]-eyed spiders who were going to clean the battlefield moved forward in a straight line, and the other giant [-]-eyed spiders on the road gave way one after another.

"Aragog! Aragog!"

The acromantula with the largest body size came to Aragog's body, rattling and shaking its chelicerae.

Aragog shook his head, turning his head towards the source of the voice.

Each of its eyes is covered with a white cloud, and it cannot see the surrounding situation at all.

"You reported to me earlier that there was a terrible human girl who was slaughtering our people. How is the situation now?"

"Aragok! Human girl! She! Gone!"

"We brought it back! Corpses! Corpses of other companions!"

Every time the acromantula uttered a word, it would dance its chelicerae, speaking intermittently.

But Aragog was also used to the way his children spoke.

After all, they didn't receive Hagrid's complete training like themselves.

After hearing what this heir said, Aragog couldn't help feeling a little restless.

As the acromantula that Hagrid kept in the castle, it knew the horror of human wizards.

Especially that Dumbledore, although he had never seen him fighting, just looking at him made Aragog tremble all over, feeling the fear that penetrated into his soul.

Fortunately, Aragog still has a deep friendship with Hagrid, and Hagrid didn't tell anyone about their existence.

Therefore, Aragog only needs to keep restraining the group of acromantulas and prohibiting them from leaving the forbidden forest to forage, which can effectively ensure the safety of the group.

In this way, he could continue to guarantee the friendship between himself and Hagrid, and repay Hagrid's kindness in protecting himself and finding himself a spouse, leaving behind the acromantula group.

Of course, if some idiot ran to the deepest part of the Forbidden Forest by himself, Aragog would not forcibly suppress the instinct of his heirs, and would allow them to enjoy a delicious meal.

After all, this is also for the safety of the race, and the acromantia will not forget the curse.

But the news brought by this child today is really bad.

They were discovered by a wizard capable of hunting acromantula.

This is a very bad phenomenon. In the future, it is very likely that a large number of wizards will strangle acromantulas to obtain precious materials.

Although he didn't have a good life for a few years, but these were his heirs, and Aragog wanted to leave a way for them to survive.

Aragog pondered for a while before speaking slowly:
"I'll tell Hagrid about this and let him help us find out who actually invaded our territory."

After a while, Aragog still felt uneasy.

It is going to send a few smarter children to explore in a direction away from Hogwarts, leaving a backup route for the group.

……

At this time, Harley didn't know that her actions had alerted the group of acromantulas.

Of course, even if they were vigilant, Harry wouldn't care.

Harry was stepping on the fallen leaves all over the ground, listening to the sound of the gurgling stream around him, and moved forward swiftly.

Suddenly, there were bursts of hurried hoofbeats in the distance, and the sound moved from far to near, moving towards Harry.

Harry stopped in his tracks immediately, and after thinking for a while, he slid down from the treetops and stared at the direction from which the sound came.

The leaves were pushed aside.

A centaur with black hair and beard, but a dark red shiny horse from the waist down, and a long black tail behind him appeared.

He stood still in the distance from Harry, raised the bow and arrow in his hand vigilantly, and said in a very rough voice:
"Get out of here, invaders! This is the territory of the centaur!"

"Intruders? I think this is the Forbidden Forest, which belongs to Hogwarts both legally and practically."

She smiled, "I'm more curious, when did this place become the territory of the horse people?"

Although she didn't know what happened, Harry's first reaction was to gain the upper hand legally.

In this way, even if there is a real fight, the ability of the judge on the trial glove will be more convenient to use.

After hearing what Harley said, the centaur was furious: "We don't recognize your human so-called..."

Before he finished speaking, there was another sound of horseshoes in the forest.

A centaur with a reddish overall color and a centaur with platinum hair and a horse body with silver temples rushed out.

"Stop, Bane! What are you doing!" the platinum-haired centaur roared loudly, and stood in front of Harry,
"What do you want to do to a foal? We swore to the stars and our ancestors!"

The red-haired centaur didn't speak, but just stood aside uncomfortably.

But judging from his expression, he also tended to support the platinum-haired centaur.

"Folal?" Bane seemed to be annoyed and laughed.

He didn't put down the bow and arrow, but just raised the arrow: "You call this a foal?"

"Firenze! Ronan! Keep your eyes open! You call this a foal!"

"She is the symbol of Mars! Have you forgotten the signs of the motion of the planets! Mars is approaching the earth!"

"But don't forget." Ronan spoke for the first time, with sadness in his voice,

"Jupiter is also approaching the earth, and Pluto is flickering like crazy!"

"Whether she corresponds to Mars, Jupiter, or Pluto, we don't know yet!" Firenze added.

"Hmph!" Bain snorted coldly, but he didn't refute it. It seemed that Ronan was telling the truth.

Bane glanced at Harry irritably, and the horse's hooves ran wildly on the ground.

After a while, he almost roared out a sentence: "Since you want to go against the astrology, then you can do it yourself!"

After all, he got into the Forbidden Forest without looking back.

……

……

(Thanks to Nine-Tailed Yanhu for the reward!)
(ps. Discussed with other authors, it seems that Fantastic Beasts mentioned that acromantids reproduce as fast as rabbits.

There are no natural enemies for it in the Forbidden Forest, and it is an invasion of species, so the number should be quite large, at least a thousand or more. )
