Azkaban: The Fifth House of Hogwarts

(The name of the spider girl has been decided. It was modified from the one provided by the book friend [Very Shameless]: Atrak Nakya, the old spider god, but due to gender reasons, it was changed to Atlana.)

The rising sun couldn't shine near the closed windowless laboratory, and there wasn't even a breeze, but the slight itching on his face made Rollo wake up from his deep sleep.

The babbling little guy climbed out of its warm nest at some point, ran to the head of Rollo's bed and lay beside him.

"Good morning."

Rollo, who got up rubbing his eyes, reached out and picked up the furry little guy. The night passed, but there was no obvious change in it. The bald little head felt so good that it reminded people of the salty food that is necessary to go with porridge. Duck eggs, here first, Luo Luo can't help but feel a little hungry.

"It seems you are too?"

The little guy who still didn't understand Luo Luo's words cutely tilted his head, holding his sharp nails in his mouth, and accidentally chewed a gap.

Compared to its slightly immature carapace, its teeth are quite fully developed.

Rollo, who asked the elf to bring all kinds of vegetables, meat, and eggs and dairy products stored in Hogwarts, filled the table with a dazzling array of food. Although the little guy with an empty stomach wanted to go forward and feast, But after a brief hesitation, it looked at Luo Luo and looked at him with some longing in his shining eyes.

"The natural obedience is similar to the Acromantula's strict hierarchy."

Rollo, who was making another note in his research notes, became more and more satisfied with this little guy.

"Go and eat. I wonder if you are a picky eater."

The little spider that was placed on the table by Rollo let out a cheerful cry and almost swung its arms from left to right. Its secondary limbs were responsible for injecting digestive juice into the meat and turning it into a jelly-like pink-white gel. The vegetables, The custard was stuffed into the crusher-like mouth.

The little spider is burping and stuffing things into its mouth intermittently. It looks cute and cute.

"Yah~"

When Rollo finished drinking the porridge, the little guy with his bulging belly swayed slightly in front of Rollo, climbed up his trouser legs, and then used a weird way to pull himself up. He formed a ball, squinted his eyes and fell into a deep sleep.

Not long after, Rolf, who also got up early, rushed to the laboratory. After seeing that the little guy was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief and chatted with Rollo.

"I thought about it for half the night, how about calling it Atlana."

"You think it's a girl?"

Rollo touched the little bald head of the little spider that felt great and blinked.

"You've been born with a chest protector, how can you be a boy, right? Boys should be open-minded, not to mention, the little guy doesn't have a refueling gun, unless its crime tool is built-in and retractable."

"It's like the Acromantula mating does not weave a sperm web but a riding position. Don't read those books all day long, or you will be exposed and die in Hogwarts."

"Relax, relax."

Rolf, who suddenly had a sly look on his face, smiled mischievously at Rollo and said, "There are good places to hide things in Hogwarts, and no one will ever discover them. Even if they are discovered, I will not be implicated."

"I'll take you to see it then?"

Seeing this wretched look, Rollo waved his hand to refuse with a look of disgust. Rollo, who had already experienced strawberry pudding in the morning, was not interested in those children's toys at all. Although the moving little book was quite interesting, but Can some teachers who had a good life in childhood be realistic and realistic?

The difference between audiobooks and silent books is heaven and earth.

"But Atlana is not bad. If it's a boy, let's call her... uh..."

Luo Luo, who was holding the little bald head in his hand, had an idea flash in his mind, "The strong man with the bald head is so terrifying. If he is a boy, just call him the strong man with the bald head."

"Bless Merlin, don't let this guy Rollo succeed."

After hearing this damn name, Rolf's mouth twitched and he muttered Merlin's name.

After taking a short rest, Atlana stretched its body, and its bulging belly had now flattened out. After opening its eyes, the snack food guy wanted to have fun and ran to the dining table to continue eating, but when he saw Roel After getting married, its eyes stared at him motionlessly.

"It seems that the little guy really doesn't like me?" A frustrated Rolf sighed, "Although a newborn baby often regards the first person it sees as its parents, how do I feel that I Can’t you even be considered an uncle?”

"Perhaps you need to wait until Atlana grows up a little bit. At least it won't be hostile to you. First impression may be important."

Rollo, who was trying to tell Atlana that Rolf was a trustworthy person, danced and gestured for a long time. The little guy who was a little dizzy after being told looked around blankly, and then he tentatively put his hand on Rollo. Rolf, who was almost moved to tears when he put it into his husband's hand, startled the little guy.

Fortunately, they had a good start, and they also figured out a way to communicate with the little guy.

Atlana, who needed to eat a lot, did not resist Rolf's feeding. Although a large part of this came from Rollo's nod of approval, trust and intimacy were slowly built up unknowingly.

Atlana no longer resisted Rolf's closeness, but she preferred to stay in her bed and take a nap with her eyes closed without Rollo's presence.

Time began to pass gradually, and the cold winter seemed to have become synonymous with the past. Green grass blades were exposed under the melting snow, and the vitality of life gradually enveloped the Hogwarts campus.

Although the little guy is full of energy every day, subsequent observation and research on it have reached a certain deadlock.

Unlike when he was just born, the little guy hardly changed much in the next few months. Its rapid growth lasted for less than a week. When it reached a standing height of [-] meters, its size increased. It's starting to slow down.

"Perhaps Atlana's lifespan will not be as short as we guessed?"

"Many cubs of magical creatures will enter a period of rapid growth after they are born, and their parents will provide them with enough food to allow them to grow rapidly. This rapid growth will stop until they have the ability to protect themselves. "

"The best comparison is the fire dragon."

Rolf's face was full of joy as he talked. If the little guy's lifespan was short, he would not be as good as he is now.

"Yes." Luo Luo nodded in approval, "Hagrid's little dragon was only a little bigger than a palm when it hatched, but it grew to double its original size in a week. This growth will even last three months, so fast They skip the infancy period and enter the formal youth period after one or two years."

"It's a long youth period." Rolf smiled, "A youth period of thirty to fifty years."

"It's a bit pitiful to think about a fire dragon who didn't have a childhood."

"But we should be the ones who are pitiful." After hearing what Rollo said, Rolf spread his hands helplessly, "Professor Sprout has given me an ultimatum. I skipped too many classes. If If I don’t make up for my classes conscientiously, she will forbid me from going out for supper in the middle of the night..."

"That's really miserable." The somewhat astonished Luo Lei understood the situation very well, "But I'm lucky. Professor Snape doesn't care about me very much. He only has eyes for Harry now."

"But in the last few months..."

Luo Lei sighed helplessly, "I have almost mastered the theoretical knowledge of transfiguration. I have studied everything that needs to be memorized, but I still lack time to practice it."

"Animagus transformation requires a whole vacation to prepare. It would be great if there were 48 hours in a day, but unfortunately there is not."

"So, what are you going to do?"

Rolf glanced at Atlana who was happily playing with toys and tearing them into pieces.

"Even if the research on it can be slowed down, the little one still needs to be taken care of. We can't leave it to Hagrid or Professor Keltburn. Although they are very reliable people, they are not suitable to take care of children. .”

"Professor Keltburn's wooden prosthetic limb will probably be turned into wooden slices by the little guy before it lasts even 5 minutes."

"You can't tear people apart?"

The teasing Luo Lei raised his eyebrows, and the two's mean laughter made the little guy look curiously.

"Atlana!"

Rollo stretched out his arms to the little guy and opened his arms. In the next second, the little guy running quickly on six legs jumped into Rollo's arms. The six spider legs clasped Rollo's waist and stretched out his arms. Atlana, who was holding Rollo's neck, rubbed his face affectionately.

"How about I find you a big sister?"

"Yeah?"

Atlana, who still couldn't quite understand what Rollo was saying, tilted its head. It could only guess what Rollo said from his tone. This was a conclusion that had been verified many times.

"A big sister who is like me and will take good care of you."

"Yi~"

Atlana, who didn't know why, nodded slightly, then smiled and showed her shiny tiger teeth.

"Then I will take you to see her right now. Dad needs to work overtime for a while recently, but he will come to see you every night."

"Hey, wait a minute, Luo Luo, where are you taking it?"

Rolf, who didn't know who the big sister in Rollo's words was referring to, asked curiously. Although he was relieved about Rollo's decision, curiosity was always there.

"I'm going to the Forbidden Forest. My good friend is there, but what I'm a little sorry about is that I've only gone back to see her twice in the past few months. I'm really embarrassed when I think about it."

"Oh~~~"

Rolf, with a long drawl in his mouth, nodded meaningfully.

"A cabin in the woods, a golden house hiding a beauty?"

Rolf, who is not serious at all in private, has seen all kinds of little emperor uncles, and his rich experience is breathtaking. However, he talks a lot about academic research, and he looks like a beast no matter how he looks or thinks.

"You'll be fine."

In this situation, the more Rolf ignored him, the more obscenely he laughed. Rollo, who had already figured out this guy's melancholy character, rolled his eyes and turned away.

"You'd better go to your astronomy class quickly. At least looking up at the stars will help you forget that there is a Quidditch match tomorrow. I hope Hufflepuff can catch the Golden Snitch within 3 minutes, otherwise I will score fifteen goals. Afterwards, it will be difficult for the gods to save you."

Looking at Roluo who was walking away arrogantly, Rolf stood there dumbfounded and muttered: "I'm not on the school team, I'm not a seeker, and...I... Hufflepuffs must not have their heads shaved tomorrow!”

Rolf, who had begun to wonder whether he should secretly feed Cedric some stimulants, left with a frown on his face. At the same time, Luo Leng, who was taking advantage of the darkness of the night, also walked into the forbidden area not far away when no one noticed. In the forest.

Atlana seems to have an innate familiarity with the forest. Although it has never left the laboratory since birth, when it was brought into the forest by Rollo, its instincts that it had not shown before sprouted.

The sharp six spider legs can pierce the tree trunk silently, allowing it to walk anywhere. The five fingers covered with steel-like hand armor can easily chop up the bushes blocking the road. At the moment, Art has not shown any skills such as spider silk spinning. Lana doesn't have the ability to fly in the sky yet, but in terms of cutting mountains and cutting roads, it is more effective than a hundred cutting spells.

Although the almost straight road would be covered by vigorously growing vegetation the next day, this was also the easiest walk for Rollo since he entered the forest.

The originally noisy sound of insects suddenly became quieter by several orders of magnitude after the little guy stepped into the woods. A ghostly figure shuttled through the woods. While opening up the passage ahead for Rollo, Atlana also did not forget to give him some help. Find some novel and delicious snacks to fill your stomach.

Within 15 minutes, the shadow of the centaur tribe appeared in the distance of the field of vision. Rollo, who covered the little guy with his robe, walked unimpeded among the centaur tribe.

Perhaps it was not late at night, so Setina did not stay in her room as usual. In the 'classroom' where she was the only one, Setina knelt and sat in front of the huge starry sky crystal ball at the end of the crystal blue room.

The interlocked fingers seemed to be a gesture of prayer, and the glimmer of magic power connected her with the crystal ball. But when she heard the sound and turned her head, Rollo met a pair of dazzling eyes filled with countless stars.

Even Atlana, who quietly peeked out through the small slit, was fascinated by this moment of looking back.

"Eee~Eee?"

The little guy's gentle voice woke up Luo Luo's sluggish body. He withdrew his soul from the vast sea of ​​​​stars and opened his mouth blankly, but did not make a sound.

"Did I scare you?"

Cetina's gentle inquiry reached his ears.

"The stars are introverted yet magical beings. They say nothing but have already written the trajectory of their destiny. But when you truly know how to listen to their whispers, the other side of the world will appear to you."

"The stars are twinkling in the sky today, the moon is missing and the moon is shining brightly."

"Then what does this mean?"

Rollo walked up to Setina and held her hand, looking into the starry eyes and asked.

"It represents the approach of war and the beginning of turmoil."

"Under the incomplete moon, it foretells that the sanctity will be defiled, silver blood will flow, and the cry of the unicorn will linger in the forest for a long time."

"I understand."

Rollo nodded slightly.

"But it is very dangerous, especially when you are actively approaching your destiny. The danger is extraordinary."

"But at least I can't watch unicorns die, right? Even if they don't like me, I'm greedy for their bodies."

Rollo, who had a smile on his face, did not let Setina's frown go away.

"Destiny is not static, but every moment you spend with it has unpredictable dangers. Are you prepared, Rollo?"

Setina held Rollo's face and stared into his eyes.

"of course."

Rollo nodded slightly, and they looked at each other for a long time...until...

Caught in the middle and out of breath, Atlana pulled her little head out of the suffocating embrace and looked up at them with a cry.

"Hehehe~"

Setina covered her mouth and let out a series of chuckles. Unlike Rolf, Setina, who met Atlana for the first time, easily took the little guy from Rollo's hand, and then hugged him. In front of him, the honest Atlana did not resist at all. Instead, she squinted her eyes and rested her face on the soft majesty, humming happily in her mouth.

"Sure enough, I didn't find the wrong person."

Seeing that Setina easily gained Atlana's trust, Rollo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

The last time he and Setina went to meet unicorns, Rollo discovered that Setina seemed to be able to communicate with those magical creatures that could not speak but had high intelligence.

Atlana needs someone to teach her how to speak, and Setina is the best choice.

"Is this the kid you told me about before?"

Reaching out and touching Atlana's little head that had just grown a little down, Setina smiled and spoke.

"Well, currently the hybrid hybrid experiments of Acromantula, Manticore and Fire Crab have been temporarily stopped. Atlana is our only result. Rolf and I need to join the team at the end of the semester. I have to work overtime to make up for what I missed before, so I can only ask you to take care of me, Setina."

"Let me guess." Setina winked mischievously, "You will come over every night from now on, right?"

"Did the stars tell you again?"

"The stars won't tell me such detailed things."

"What will the stars say to you?"

"The stars say...we will bathe in the starlight and take a walk on the open and flat fields. I think there will be that day, right?"

"Of course, when the night wind blows through your hair, it will definitely be beautiful. I am waiting for that day, I hope it will be one day soon."

"Maybe you should go to bed early."

"There happens to be a Quidditch match tomorrow."

"What do you want for breakfast?"

"Would you like strawberry pudding?"

With a glance of resentful eyes, the door of the hut was gently pushed open.

Silent all night.
