The man behind Hogwarts

In the dark forest, Ron looked up at the sky, his voice unable to stop trembling.

It was as if a vibrator was attached to his vocal cords. With a slight movement of his tongue, his voice began to vibrate...

Harry heard the call and looked back at him, then followed his gaze and looked up...

The next moment, he was also stunned.

I saw that the sky was filled with white net-like objects, layered on top of each other from treetops to tree branches, blocking out the sky and the sun. No wonder I couldn't see the moonlight, it turned out to be blocked by them.

If the white web brings about the prisoner's dilemma, the big spider hanging down the thread brings about the fear of death.

Have you ever seen a spider as big as a puppy?

What about the one as big as a small elephant?

At this moment, Harry and the three of them saw it at the same time, and the sky was full of dense things.

Hermione's face suddenly turned pale, her feet unconsciously moved toward Harry, and then she gripped her wand tightly.

Among the three, Harry was the calmest at the moment.

He forced himself to swallow a mouthful of saliva and called the two of them to prepare to return the same way, but when he turned his head, a torrent of spiders was coming.

"Hermione, is there any magic I can use?"

"Smashing the giant spider, repelling the spider, making a fire spell... fire magic should all be useful."

Harry thought for a while, he would hit the giant spider hard and use the fire-making spell, but the fire-making spell in his hand could only be used to make fire. If he tried to use it to fight against the giant spider, he would probably only burn the hair on his body.

"Run, let's..." Ron was extremely nervous.

"The back is blocked, so we can only go forward."

Harry led the two of them to run ahead, and soon saw a very thick tree, one of its roots was as thick as a child's waist.

Under the big tree, a looming tree hole appeared. Maybe it was an illusion, but Harry seemed to see a little light from inside.

The three of them didn't go to the tree hole, and were ready to go around the tree to find a way out.

But before they could realize their plan, many spiders crawled out from behind the big tree.

Harry took a step back and looked around hurriedly. He was horrified to find that there were spiders in every direction, and it was so dark.

Countless spiders gathered together, making clicking sounds when their claws rubbed against each other, adding a hint of ferocity to the silent night.

"Hit the Giant Spider!"

While he was observing, Hermione fired a spell into the air, knocking a spider as big as a puppy away from the heads of several people.

This attack seemed to be a signal, and the surrounding spiders rushed towards several people.

"...It's over."

"Wait a minute, I saw a tree hole just now!" Harry didn't give up. He knocked away a spider in front of him and pulled the two of them away.

At this moment, Hermione recovered slightly from her fear.

She tried not to look at the dense swarm of spiders in the distance, but just stared at the location within a few meters. Whenever a spider approached, she would launch an attack.

She tried several magics and found that there were two magics that could be used when attacking spiders.

When attacking a single spider, the giant spider is best used to hit it hard. Even a giant spider as big as a small elephant will be knocked away;

If there are multiple spiders, it will be difficult to hit the giant spider hard because the efficiency is too slow. At this time, you can only use fire spells to drive away and isolate them.

Although the fire-making spell is difficult to kill the giant spiders, the flames can block their progress.

When they arrived at the tree hole, the spider group was no more than four meters away from the group of people.

Some spiders would even jump up and attack, almost causing him to bite Harry, but he was saved by Hermione's magic spell.

"Hermione, attack the spider in the tree hole!"

With that said, the three of them used magic together, quickly clearing the entrance of the tree hole of spiders, and got in without hesitation.

There are also spiders in the tree holes...

The three of them cleaned up as they walked, but fortunately there were no casualties.

After advancing a few meters, a small tunnel branched out from the tree hole. The three of them hurriedly hid in the tunnel and blocked the entrance of the cave with flames.

"call--"

Three long breaths sounded simultaneously.

This corridor is like a miniature alley. The three of them are close together so that they can hide completely. Fortunately, they now only have to concentrate on dealing with the spiders at the entrance of the corridor, so the danger level has been reduced.

"Why are there so many spiders...?"

"These spiders seem to be Acromantulas." Hermione said uncertainly.

"Acromantula?"

Hermione explained a little bit. She liked reading books and occasionally saw an Acromantula from a book.

After listening to her explanation, Harry and Ron not only did not feel the joy of gaining new knowledge, but were even more frightened.

"Level 5...5X??"

"Fire dragons are only level 5X, right?" Ron was extremely bitter. Charlie worked at a dragon farm. From his words, Ron knew the horror of fire dragons. In his opinion, fire dragons were the most terrifying creatures.

But the Acromantula and the Fire Dragon are at the same level...

"It's over, it's over..."

The three of them were silent for a while, just taking turns to use fire spells to block the entrance of the cave.

……

Ten minutes later, Hermione sat on the ground tiredly. Next to her, Harry and Ron were in the same state as her.

His face was pale, listless, and his eyes were thicker in color.

"We can't hold on much longer and we have to find other ways."

Hermione rubbed her temples, and her voice broke the silence in the corridor.

In these ten minutes, the three of them took turns casting magic, almost reaching their physical limits. Because it is not only necessary to use fire magic at the entrance of the corridor, but also to use magic such as water-making spells to protect the corridor from being engulfed in flames.

Fortunately, Hermione had a good knowledge and a good knowledge of common magic, which allowed the three of them to persevere until now.

But the time has come for them to make changes.

"Don't worry about the outside of the tree hole. They are all spiders. We can only go deeper into the tree hole."

Harry thought for a while and said: "The depths of the tree hole may be life, or it may be the nest of spiders..."

By this time, several people actually missed Paul a little.

At least the other party is a human being, and they may not necessarily kill them...

Hermione stood up and said, "Just try your best, staying here is just a slow death."

Ron nodded and followed.

Harry didn't refute and silently agreed.

When they fought all the way into the huge space deep in the tree cave, the scene before them made people silent.

Spiders, countless spiders...

It's everywhere in the sky and all around. And the innermost spider is so big that it looks like the king of spiders, looking down at several people.

but.

What shocked a few people the most was not the spider.

But a fire in the center.

The space in front of them was like a hidden spiritual realm, surrounded by countless large trees, leaving an open space as big as a square in the middle.

The flame was burning in the middle of the open space, but the key was that it didn't have any firewood!

"We have another guest..."

"Did Hagrid ask you to come?"

The spider on the high platform actually spoke. It was Aragog, Hagrid's spider partner.

Hagrid?

The three of them looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed through them. "Does this person know Hagrid?"

"We are Hagrid's friends. We accidentally entered here by mistake. Can you let us out?"

"Walked here by mistake..." Aragog's voice was very old, and it took him a long time to finish his sentence. Just when the three of them were looking forward to it, it gave an answer, a silent answer.

The originally peaceful spiders clicked and slowly crawled towards the three of them.

It did not allow its children to harm Hagrid.

But it will not stop the children from enjoying the food served.

As always!

Harry smiled bitterly and was ready to be killed.

He went deep into the enemy's lair and encountered a talking Acromantula. Under such a decisive attack, he could not see any chance of survival.

But Hermione didn't give up.

She has been observing the environment inside.

Although she was surprised for a moment that Aragog could speak, she turned her attention to the flames in the clearing.

"Why is there fire in the lair of a fire-fearing spider?"

"The flame seems to have been burning for a long time. The soil under it was burned and cracked, leaving a pit. The most important thing is that there is really no firewood!"

"That flame is burning out of thin air?!"

Hermione's eyes lit up, as if she found life in the flames.

"Come over here quickly!"

The three of them ran to the flames and defended with their backs to the flames.

For some reason, once the spiders came close to the range of the flames, they stopped invariably.

There were several large spiders that kept turning around, and then tentatively moved forward, but were immediately knocked away by Hermione's giant spider attack.

"Sure enough!"

Hermione was pleasantly surprised. She didn't expect the spiders to be so afraid of the flames.

Now the little spiders don't dare to come forward, and there are relatively few big spiders, so they can completely defend themselves in a targeted manner. The situation immediately improved.

……

When the three little ones were fighting the Acromantula, Paul also came here.

He did not rush into the Acromantula's territory. He patrolled around and observed it, and quickly determined the type of spider.

"It's actually an Acromantula... it's very difficult."

Paul stood on the treetops and looked down, and saw densely packed Acromantulas in front of him, everywhere.

Because of the overabundance of spiders, the woodland has completely become a forbidden area.

"Why is there such a creature in the Forbidden Forest?"

"Don't the forest rangers work hard enough to allow the Acromantula to multiply so much?"

Paul really couldn't figure it out, and secretly cursed Hagrid a few words at the same time.

Looking at the endless Acromantula in front of him, he frowned.

Harry and the other three are only first-year wizards. No matter how outstanding they are, they cannot survive under the siege of the Acromantula.

That is to say...

His plan to capture Harry alive was ruined?

"I shouldn't have gotten involved with Fred before!" Paul sighed, "If it's really because of him that ruined my plan, I will definitely kill him before leaving Hogwarts."

"The question now is, should we go in and investigate?"

After a few minutes of thinking, Paul decided to take the risk and explore. Even if Harry was really dead, he still wanted to get the bones.

He first cast several defensive spells on himself, as well as various auxiliary magics.

Isolate breath, hide body shape, enhance vision, etc.

He took steps, ready to go.

Suddenly, a strange word rang in my ears.

"Are you ready to go in?"

"Who?" Paul's hair stood on end. He was so frightened that he fell directly from the tree. Fortunately, he was experienced and used the levitation spell to save his life in time.

When he looked up, he exclaimed, "Cron?"

"why you?"

The person who suddenly appeared turned out to be his old acquaintance.

Paul is no stranger to Crohn's. We met him for the first time at Steyning Market, and then we also investigated William when we investigated him. I learned that Crohn was once an elite Auror and is now the Muggle Studies teacher at Hogwarts.

But, why did he appear here?

"You know me?" Crohn asked.

Paul suddenly remembered that what he looked like now was not his original appearance.

"Don't worry about who I am, I just want to know, what do you want to do?"

"There are students inside who are in danger, and I want to save them. To avoid being disturbed, please leave."

"Ha~" Paul sneered, "Let me leave, do you have the strength?"

"Then try."

As soon as the words fell, the two of them took action together, with deadly magic at their fingertips.

Attack, defend, move, sneak attack...

The dark forest became the best duel platform, and two wizards with each own reputation had a thrilling duel here.

After another round of fighting, the two were silent for a while, each looking for cover and preparing for the next attack.

Paul was hiding behind a big tree, looking serious.

In the previous confrontation, he discovered a serious problem. This Crohn was a bit ridiculously strong.

Whether it is difficult magic or various spell-casting techniques, Crohn seems to be proficient in everything, and his combat experience is very powerful, even more powerful than his transnational criminal wizard.

"As expected of an elite Auror... I heard that he used to be called a Blood Auror..."

Thinking of this, Paul was a little irritated.

Why would such a powerful Auror come to Hogwarts to be a teacher? Is it because the Ministry of Magic does not have five insurances and one housing fund?

And he’s actually the Muggle Studies teacher! !

"It's tricky."

"More troublesome than the Acromantula!"

Although there were many thoughts in his mind, they only lasted a short moment in the outside world. The next moment, a killing curse came out.

After casting the magic, he immediately moved his position, without even looking at the results, because he knew there would be no results.

Sure enough, the tree he had been hiding in suddenly fell to the ground.

Although the tree was not huge, it was still as big as two people hugging each other, but it was interrupted by Crohn's magic.

"Is this the Muggle Studies teacher?"

"Using Avada Kedavra to research?"

Paul complained irritably and hid in the dark again.

This cycle goes on and on, and Paul becomes disgraced at some point.

Although there are many bunkers in the forest, for senior wizards, these bunkers are not of much use.

Just now, he passed by a cutting spell.

If it hadn't been for his quick reaction, he might have turned into scraps of flesh by now.

"Blood Auror...Blood Auror...lives up to his name!"

Paul leaned against the tree with his back clenched. He looked up at the sky and secretly estimated the time. The fight with Crohn should take no more than five minutes. There was some back and forth at first, but now he has been gradually suppressed.

And he was worried about one more thing...

Are the teachers in the castle coming soon?

Crohn's appearance seemed to him a signal. It means someone has noticed the movement.

What if Dumbledore came...?

dare not think, dare not think!

At this moment, Paul understood that he had reached the point where he had to retreat. If he continued to entangle himself, his life would be in danger at any time.

"No matter what, it's time to break it off and retreat!"

Before leaving, Paul once again thought of the young man holding the dung egg...

"Fred Weasley, I will kill you!!"
