Fire Bearer at Hogwarts

Chapter 20 The Story of the Forbidden Forest

Ash went into the cabin and sat in a chair by the table, while Hagrid turned around and took a plate of biscuits.

"This is the rock cake I made myself, come and try it?" After saying that, Hagrid put the big rock cake on the table and pushed it towards Ash.

Ash felt that the name of this biscuit was in line with his aesthetics...Rock skin biscuit... Wouldn't it be better to call it a brilliant rock skin biscuit...Of course, he buried these small things in his heart, and under Hagrid's expectant eyes Picked up a piece.

Not to mention, it feels quite heavy...and the texture is relatively hard.

Ash took a bite... The rock cake was unmoved, Ash froze for a moment, and subconsciously looked at Hagrid.

"What? Isn't it delicious?" Hagrid muttered and took a piece or two and ate it.

"..." Ash gritted his teeth, and the occlusal muscles of his upper and lower forehead used the strength to kill King Xin...and he successfully bit a small piece of this tasteless stone.

Ash swears to the Sun King...it's better to let him drink two barrels of Gamp after eating this...even if it doesn't give Gallon.

After barely swallowing two mouthfuls, Ash quickly brought up the topic: "Hagrid, can I borrow some teaching aids for Defense Against the Dark Arts from you?"

"Teaching aids?" The gentle giant was stunned for a moment, "I don't have anything to do with black magic..." He waved his hands again and again, it seemed that he was very jealous of black magic.

"It's not that kind of teaching aid." Ash corrected, "It's some dark creatures..."

"Uh..." Hagrid thought for a while, "What do you need? There are many dark creatures in the Forbidden Forest."

"Eight-eyed spiders are fine..." Ash thought for a while. He felt that ordinary animals like spiders were the most suitable for first-grade students. Although they were not small, they were about the size of an adult.

"Eight-eyed spiders?" Hagrid nodded, "There are in the Forbidden Forest, and there are quite a few of them."

"Body size and age don't matter." Ash said, anyway, he will take it for "research" in the end, and he doesn't plan to raise one.

Hagrid nodded knowingly, and took a sip of the hot water on the table... "That's just right, I'm going to the Forbidden Forest, do you want to come with me?" Hagrid stood up and picked up the pink umbrella by the door .

Ash glanced at the umbrella and nodded, "Of course." He just happened to be curious about any treasures or strange creatures in the Forbidden Forest of Hogwarts...

"Yaya..." Hagrid waved the docile hound back, and walked into the Forbidden Forest first.

"I've guarded the Forbidden Forest for many years." Hagrid said as he walked, carrying a bag in his hand and nimbly shuttling among the tree trunks, not at all like a giant over two meters tall.

"This is my second home." Hagrid pushed aside a branch, "My first home was Hogwarts."

Ash nodded, he knew Hagrid respected Dumbledore as if Dumbledore was his father... Father?I don't know whether the father of a half-breed giant like Hagrid is a giant or his mother is a giant?
Father's words... are too strong.

"There are thestrals... there are unicorns..." Hagrid introduced to Ash, "there are also tribes of centaurs, these are creatures that can communicate... Of course, thestrals need you to be able to see."

Thestrals are magical creatures... only seen by those who have seen death and accepted its reality.

Ash had read it in the animal encyclopedia, and he was fascinated by the magical ability of thestrals.

"There are werewolves and eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest...these animals are very dangerous." Hagrid said, "We all know how scary werewolves are."

The two walked and chatted as they shuttled through the dangerous Forbidden Forest. Soon, the two came to the depths of the Forbidden Forest. The towering black trees blocked the sunlight. The leaves are densely packed, like a layer of black veil covering the Forbidden Forest.

As the two of them went deeper, Ash had heard the subtle movements around him more than once... He felt the souls moving around him constantly...

And there are quite a few.

He flicked his hand and took out his wand, and subconsciously wanted to take out the rapier with his right hand...

"Don't be impulsive... Embers." Hagrid quickly reached out his hand, "They are Aragog's children."

"Aragok?" Ash was a little puzzled.

"He's the king of eight-eyed spiders here... Well, he's still a very cute guy." Hagrid explained, then pulled Ash forward.

The environment was so dark that Ash had to take off his sunglasses. He pinned the sunglasses on the collar of his robe, making him look even weirder.

Soon, the surrounding souls became more and more dense, gradually enveloping the two of them. Hagrid also stopped at this moment, and he stood still slightly.

"I'm here to find Aragog." He said with a loud voice like a high-pitched cannon. He looked around calmly, as if he was very familiar with this scene.

Not long after, a small eight-eyed spider came out, glanced at Hagrid and Ash, and "hissed" twice, as if asking them to follow.

Hagrid took Ash to follow, and soon came to a huge cave... Ash could feel the large number of souls inside... Although it was not as shocking and tempting as Diagon Alley to him, but Ash said that he still almost threw a soul crystal gun.

The two walked into the cave, surrounded by spiders and brought them in as if they were being escorted. During this period, more than one spider was curious to touch Ash, but they were all caught by the shiny wand in his hand. Scared.

Inside the cave, there is a huge venue, like a small square, on which lies a huge eight-eyed spider... the whiteish eyes are dull... probably blind.

"Hagrid?" The giant spider spoke, and Ash was a little surprised. He thought it would be difficult for a spider to learn human language, but he still underestimated the spider.

Just as he was thinking, a spider crawled close to him and stretched out its spider legs. Ash had to turn around with his wand to scare off the bold spider.

"Aragok, I came to see you and brought you something." Saying this, Hagrid threw out the backpack in his hand, which was full of white bugs.

Ash stared at the bugs. He didn't feel disgusted, but he was a little curious about what these bugs were called.

"These are giant grubs..." Hagrid explained. "Aragok likes this."

"What do you want from me?" Aragog said slowly, it can be seen that he is very old... He looks much older than Hagrid.

Hagrid nodded and said, "I need an eight-eyed spider..." After finishing speaking, he glanced at Ash, and after confirming that it was correct, he continued, "It doesn't matter what age..."

Aragog shook his limbs, relying on his sense of smell to prop up those fat white bugs crawling on the ground. Seeing the scene of splashing green juice, Hagrid subconsciously frowned.

"Well then, Hagrid..." Aragog agreed, after all he had thousands of offspring...and as a spider, he didn't care about his own offspring.

"However, I can't force them...you catch one yourself..."

"Drowsy!" Before Aragog could finish speaking, Ash threw out the spell, and knocked down the eight-eyed spider that repeatedly touched him with its leg. Boy, I have endured you for a long time...

Hagrid was startled by his sudden shot, "Don't you need to see which one is suitable?" Hagrid asked in a low voice, although the voice seemed to Ash not small at all.

Ashes shook his head, then kicked the immobile eight-eyed spider, "That's it, fate." Ashes, as a theist, believed in the theory of fate.
