Hogwarts Archmage

The Acromantula's nest is made up of a lot of white webs. If you ignore the danger, it actually has a different kind of beauty. Ma En has been here many, many times, but never observed it carefully every time. , and most of the time is at night, which is different from the scene during the day.

The lair is very messy. Although this kind of creature is also intelligent, can speak human language, and even has a hierarchy, this hierarchy is not based on positive social meaning but a family hierarchy based on kinship. The higher the seniority, the greater the power. In essence, They are not orderly creatures, so they cannot be required to live in groups like human beings, even if their houses have different shapes and are neat.

If most people entered this place, they would have to get lost and spend three to five days to get out. However, Hagrid skillfully slipped through every "gap" that was very wide for Marn and led him all the way there. In front of the giant spider leader Aragog.

"Old friend, I'm here." Hagrid said in a low voice to the aging spider the size of a car in front of him.

Aragog seemed to have something wrong with his eyes. He shook his head a few times before confirming Hagrid's position, and said awkwardly: "Hagrid, you're here again..."

"That's right, I also brought a friend here to help you solve the problem of the missing descendants."

Aragog moved out of the nest and leaned forward to explore his huge body. There was a hint of helplessness in his tone - God knows how Ma En could hear the helplessness - and he said: "Old man, I told you, don't worry about it. , the giant spider that dies every day will soon be able to produce again, I have asked the younger generation to put this matter on the agenda, you also said, natural selection, survival of the fittest."

"This is different!" Hagrid yelled and argued with Aragog. From time to time, some mature Acromantulas passed by to take a look, and then quickly left.

Seeing Hagrid arguing with Aragog, Marn felt a little bored. He pulled up a pile of dirt from the ground, transformed it into a chair, sat on it, and watched them "quarrel" seriously.

After a full 10 minutes, when Ma En was about to leave first, Aragog over there said: "Okay, Hagrid, I will ask my children to pay more attention, but you will definitely Pay attention to your own safety.”

Hagrid took out the small fireball that Marn gave him from his pocket and said: "It doesn't matter, I have this. Professor Wald also asked someone to protect my leather coat. You don't have to worry about me, just take care of yourself. Alas Gok, you are too old."

Aragog stopped talking and returned to the lair without moving. If Hagrid hadn't explained that it just fell asleep, Marn would have even thought that it was disturbed to death by Hagrid.

"So, you just brought me here to watch you two quarrel?" Ma En asked helplessly, looking at the man and the spider who finally stopped.

"Of course not, how is that possible?" Hagrid greeted Ma En and led him to walk in another direction. He walked for more than ten minutes. When he came to the edge of the lair in this direction, a man appeared. He drew a circle with his hands at the small pond and said:

"This is where the giant spiders of death always appear recently, and the giant spiders of death all around seem to be centered on this place. I went to Professor Walder and Professor Dumbledore and asked them to search, but they were both very busy. , and told me that you are still the best at this kind of thing."

Ma En looked at the small pond, and then roughly determined the range Hagrid mentioned. He took off the slippers he had just put on, and several lines of fire quickly covered the area several hundred meters near the pond.

The irregular fire ring quickly approached the pond, and bubbles began to bubble in the pond for some reason. Ma En was sure that he did not heat the place, but this pond... what was going on?

The flames quickly spread from the ground to the ground, densely covering the pond without any blind spots. A burst of angry curses came from inside, and Ma En and Hagrid looked at each other...

He pulled away a hole in the net, and a humanoid thing that was similar in color to the skull he burned that day came out of the hole. It also emitted black smoke and landed in front of Ma En.

As soon as this "thing" opened its mouth, Marne couldn't help shouting his name: "Lockhart!"

No wonder he shouted out so quickly, it was because the other party was too eye-catching, causing him to look like a bear. He still had small white teeth, and when he smiled, he showed eight teeth perfectly...

"What's wrong with you?" Ma En outlined a few flames and covered the part he drilled out, and then asked.

Lockhart's voice became a little strange, as if he was choking on a cigarette. His voice was hoarse and he said in a low voice: "Are you... that Marne? Sorry, ever since I became like this, my brain has always been a little hard to use. Fortunately, I still have a pen, and I am going to write a book about my days living with the Acromantula."

As he said that, he took out a pile of slates and a carving knife from the place where he got out: "Look, I can only use this now. If I go back to get things, they will definitely kill me."

Ma En was not in the mood to talk to him about writing, but said sharply: "I'm asking you, what's going on with you now!?"

His tone began to become a little frustrated:

"It all started at the book signing. After that day, I packed up the remaining books and found a notebook that someone hid in the stack of books. That notebook was really beautiful..."

Ma En frowned, but considering Voldemort's ability, it seemed that it would not be difficult to change the cover of the notebook where he lived.

Lockhart continued:

“I thought that notebook suited me very well, and no one was around to see it, so I quietly put it in my arms and put it away.

"I was very busy at that time - you know, as a star, there are always a lot of things waiting for me to do, so I almost forgot about the notebook when I got home.

"Two weeks before I came to Hogwarts to report, I thought of him and tried to write a few lines.

"A terrible thing happened. That notebook was able to talk to me... Of course, I was not scared at the time, but felt a little strange. I tried asking him many questions. He seemed to know everything and told me everything. , which made me feel like I had a treasure trove, and I was so excited.

"Until that day, I will never forget that day. He told me that there is a secret hidden in Hogwarts. In the mouse hole near the willow tree, there is a map. As long as I get that map, I can Find this secret, it is a treasure.

"I believed him because of a long history of questions and answers."
