Chapter 135 Spiders
"What?" asked Ron loudly, grabbing Harry's elbow hard as he looked out into the darkness.

"There's something moving in there," Harry gasped. "It sounds... like a big thing."

They listen carefully.Some distance to their right, the big thing was cutting its way through the bushes, snapping off numerous branches.

"Oh no," said Ron, "oh no, oh no, oh—"

"Shut up," said Harry furiously, "it'll hear you."

"Hear me?" said Ron in an unnaturally high voice. "He's heard Fang!"

They stood there, waiting in horror, the darkness seemed to oppress their eyeballs.Suddenly there was a rumbling sound, followed by silence.

"What do you think it's doing?" Harry asked.

"Probably ready to pounce," said Ron.

They waited, trembling, not daring to move.

"You think it's gone?" Harry whispered.

"do not know--"

At this time, on their right, a blinding light suddenly lit up, blindingly bright in the darkness, and both of them raised their hands to shield their eyes.Tooth growled and tried to escape, but got caught by a thorn, and it barked even louder.

"Harry!" Ron yelled, his voice choked with relief. "Harry, it's our car!"

"What?" said Harry in surprise, thinking that the car had been brought home by Mr. Weasley.

"Come on!" Ron said, swallowing.

Harry followed Ron, stumbling towards the light, tripping all the way.After a while, they came to a clearing.

Mr. Weasley's car was parked in the middle of a circle of dense trees, covered with dense intertwined branches and leaves. There was no one in the car, and the headlights were shining brightly.As Ron walked toward it with his mouth open, it moved slowly toward him, like a big turquoise dog greeting its master.

"So it's been here all along!" Ron said happily, walking around the car, "Look at it, the woods have turned it wild..."

The wings of the car were scratched and covered with mud.Evidently it had acquired the habit of moving alone in the woods.Fang didn't seem to be interested in him at all; he followed Harry every step of the way.Harry could feel it shaking.Harry's breathing slowly calmed down again, and he retracted his wand into his robes.

"We thought it was going to attack us!" Ron said, leaning against the car, and patted it. "I never knew where it went!"

Harry squinted his eyes and continued to look for the shadows of the spiders on the illuminated ground, but they all hurriedly avoided the glare of the headlights and disappeared.

"We've lost track," he said. "Come on, let's find the spider..."

Ron didn't speak or move.His eyes were fixed on a spot ten feet above Harry's back.His face was livid, with fear vividly written on his face.

Before Harry could even turn around, there was a loud click.He suddenly felt a long, hairy thing pick him up by the middle, leaving him hanging face down in mid-air.He struggled, terrified.Then he heard the rattling again, saw Ron's legs leave the ground too, and heard Fang whining and growling - and then he was dragged into the dark undergrowth.

With his head hanging upside down, Harry saw that the man who had grabbed him had six fantastically long, hairy legs, and the other two clamped tightly in front of him, with a pair of large shiny black claws on them. .Behind him, he could hear another such animal, apparently holding Ron.They were moving towards the center of the woods.Harry heard Fang whining, struggling to free himself from the third monster, but Harry couldn't do it even if he wanted to, he seemed to have left his voice in the clearing with the car.

He didn't know how long he had been in the animal's claws; he only knew that the darkness seemed to recede a little suddenly, and he saw that the leaf-strewn ground was now densely populated with spiders.He twisted his neck away and found that they had come to the edge of a wide depression cleared of trees and lit by the stars in the most horrible sight he had ever seen in his life.

spider.Not like those little spiders crawling hurriedly among the fallen leaves below, but each one was as big as a cart horse, with eight eyes and eight legs, black and hairy, like giants.The giant spider with Harry in its arms made its way down the steep slope towards a misty hemispherical web in the very center of the hollow, surrounded by its companions.When they saw what it was clamping, they moved their claws excitedly and made a clicking sound.

The spider released its claws and Harry fell to the ground.Ron and Fang also fell heavily next to him.Fang Fang no longer roared, but quietly curled up without moving.Ron looked and felt exactly like Harry.His mouth was wide open, as if screaming silently, and his eyes were bulging outward.

Harry suddenly became aware that the spider that had thrown him was talking.It's not easy to hear because it rattles its claws with every word it says.

"Aragok!" it cried, "Aragok!"

From the middle of the misty hemispherical web, very slowly emerged a spider the size of a small elephant.Its body and legs were black and gray, and each eye was clouded with white over its hideous, clawed head.

This huge spider turned out to be blind!
"What's the matter?" it said, clicking, and the two big claws moved rapidly.

"Man," said the spider that had caught Harry just now.

"Is that Hagrid?" Aragog said, moving closer, his eight milky eyes staring blankly.

"It's a stranger," rattled the spider that had brought Ron.

"Kill 'em," Aragog said irritably, rattling, "I'm sleeping..."

"We're friends of Hagrid," Harry called.His heart seemed to leave his chest and jumped out of his throat.

Click-click, click-click, the pits were full of spider claws moving.

Aragog hesitated.

"Hagrid never sent anyone into our hollow before," it said slowly.

"Hagrid's in trouble," said Harry, breathing very rapidly, "that's why we're here."

"Trouble?" said the old spider.Harry thought he heard some concern in the clicking of his pincers. "But why did he send you?"

Harry wanted to stand up, but decided to stay on his stomach; he didn't think his legs could support his weight.He lay on the ground, trying to keep his voice as calm as possible.
