Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 275 Encountered a sneak attack

Before leaving, Albert glanced back at the jungle behind him, and said to Hagrid: "The centaurs probably have no difference between wizards and Muggles. Those guys prefer to be outsiders, completely on the sidelines." By."

  Hagrid, who was walking in front, stopped suddenly, glanced at Albert, then looked around and said, "The centaurs are really difficult to get along with. I only learned how to deal with them after staying in Hogwarts for many years."

   "I looked through the literature of the centaurs in the library. They are very proficient in magical healing, divination, archery and astronomy."

  Since Albert had dealt with the centaurs, he also spent some time looking up the information of the centaurs. These guys would rather choose to be regarded as beasts by the Ministry of Magic than deal with wizards.

  In the Ministry of Magic, there is a joke that is "sent to the Centaur Liaison Office", which means that the person is about to be fired, because no centaur has ever used the Centaur Liaison Office, and they don't welcome people from the Ministry of Magic.

   "Don't provoke the centaurs casually, they are usually very proud." Hagrid reminded worriedly, he knew Albert didn't get along well with the centaurs.

   "I usually don't take the initiative to provoke others." Albert shook his head, followed behind Hagrid, and walked in the direction Ronan pointed.

   However, luck was not on their side.

  The two have been searching for a long time in the Forbidden Forest, but they still haven't found any trace left by Lu Wei. It seems to have disappeared out of thin air.

   This is not a good sign.

   "Go back, Hagrid." Albert looked at Hagrid's back and suggested aloud, "We need to change our method."

   "I'm going to meet Aragog." Hagrid hesitated and said, "Perhaps Aragog will know the whereabouts of Lu Wei."

   "Who is Aragog?" Albert asked curiously. He thought it might be the name of an acromander, one that Hagrid had buried in book six.

   "I raised Aragog before..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, but still told Albert, "Acromantula."

"Is it really an acromantula? I won't go with you. The incident last year didn't have a good relationship with those big spiders. Be careful yourself." Albert didn't object to Hagrid going. Look for his Aragog acromantula, but he won't go.

  Knowing that the sheep is in the mouth of the tiger, but desperately going forward, only a fool would do this.

   "Don't worry, they won't hurt you with me here." Hagrid assured, patting his chest hard.

"You probably don't know that last year, in order to save George and Fred who were surrounded by acromantulas, I killed several acromantulas and brought down hundreds of them." Albert glanced at Hagrid. , his expression suddenly became weird, "Of course I believe that you will do your best to protect my safety, but I don't believe in acromants. They are cruel by nature and like to eat human flesh. I believe that group of big guys won't mind my surrender snare."

   "I'm here, Aragog's colony won't hurt you." Hagrid froze for a moment, and said with certainty.

"Aragok may not be able to, but other acromantulas will. Only a powerful dark wizard can use power to command those big spiders." Albert did not believe Hagrid's words, but he did not believe Hagrid's words. judgement.

   "I'm going back." He turned around to find a place to apparate, and returned directly to the outskirts of the Forbidden Forest at Hogwarts.

   "Wait, I'll see you off..." Hagrid was worried that Albert would go back by himself. The other party kindly helped him find Lu Wei, and he also needed to be responsible for Albert's safety.

   At this moment, rustling sounds suddenly sounded around, as if something was moving rapidly towards this side.

   "Be careful, come to me quickly!" Hagrid raised his bow and aimed at the direction from which the voice came.

  Albert was on full alert the moment the sound sounded, waving his wand and preparing to use defensive magic to protect himself.

   However, it was too late.

  A black shadow sprang out of the forest like an arrow and rushed towards Albert.

"Be careful." Hagrid was startled and angry, and shot an arrow at the black shadow, but was easily dodged by the black shadow. Seeing that the black shadow was about to pounce on Albert, he saw that Albert was muttering something, He raised his left hand and made a motion of pushing something forward.

boom!

   A dull sound sounded in the Forbidden Forest.

  The black shadow that attacked Albert at high speed slammed into an invisible magic shield, like a running bull hitting a thick wall, and the result was self-evident.

  The black shadow was directly bounced out by the force of the counter-shock, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

   "Thunderbolt explosion!" Albert waved his wand, and directly hit the attacker with the most lethal magic he had mastered so far. An orange magic concentrated on the black shadow, directly smashing it to pieces.

  The attacker's body was splashed around in the explosion, and Albert had to step back, looking at the spider leg that fell at his feet, and murmured: "Unfortunately, the reaction was a little too extreme."

  The corpse of the acromantula was almost blown to pieces, and it was of little value.

  Seeing a lot of gold coins slipping from his fingers, Albert felt a little helpless about his overreaction just now.

  The momentary change just now made Hagrid's emotions feel like a roller coaster. He was still angry that something was going to attack Albert, but he didn't expect that Albert killed the opponent in the blink of an eye.

   "Are you okay." Hagrid immediately stepped forward to check Albert's situation.

   "It's okay." Albert comforted, since I dared to enter the Forbidden Forest with you, I naturally have a way to protect myself.

  Hagrid showed an ugly smile, looked up at the black figure who attacked Albert, his expression became more complicated, although the body was blown to pieces by the explosive spell, Hagrid was still able to identify the attacker.

  An acromantula.

  After seeing the corpse of the acromantula, Hagrid's face turned ugly instantly. He just patted his chest to assure Albert that he would definitely protect his safety. As a result...

   "It's not your fault." Albert comforted, "I'll go back first."

   "No, I'll take you back." Hagrid hurriedly followed. He didn't dare to let Albert go back by himself just like this.

   "Don't worry, we will find Lu Wei." Albert comforted casually. After all, the protection of the Philosopher's Stone will use it.

   "However, I still think it's best for you to take the initiative to confess this matter to Professor Dumbledore." Albert said, "The headmaster won't blame you."

   Hagrid fell silent again, he hesitated.

   "Think about it, before Lu Wei gets you into trouble, it's best to find it."

   On the way back to Hogwarts, the two were not attacked again and returned to Hagrid's cabin smoothly. Before Albert and Hagrid separated, they agreed to meet in the afternoon.
