Study Days at Hogwarts

  Chapter 883 Growth

Sirius reached out and grabbed Harry's arm, and told several people about his next plan, "Let's apparate for a while, and then slowly approach the activity area of ​​the acromantula, and then use the "dark creature detector" to find A lone acromantula, and captured it."

   "Okay, let's go!" Sirius nodded towards Lupin, and directly apparated Harry and left.

   "Hermione took my hand, and you Ron," Lupine said softly.

"that…"

   "I got him."

  Hermione walked over and grabbed Lupine's arm. Seeing that Ron didn't want to go, she reached out and grabbed his arm.

  If Ron is not allowed to experience the difficulty of being a warrior, he will probably continue to be jealous of Harry, which will not be conducive to the friendship of the three.

  Harry and Ron hadn't spoken to each other for weeks, and their friendship couldn't stand the toss, mediating them made Hermione miserable.

   "Okay, let's go too."

   Before Ron could react, the surrounding darkness came from all directions with a strong sense of squeezing, pressing what Ron just wanted to say back into his stomach.

When they came back to their senses, they found themselves standing on a piece of air, Harry was retching next to him, Sirius raised his wand to watch the surroundings, and held the "dark creature detector" that he had shown them earlier. Acromant attack.

   "Acromantula moves very fast in the forest." Sirius explained to the three, "Be careful, don't be attacked by them, those beasts eat people."

  Ron, who was holding on to the tree and retching, couldn't help shivering.

   "This feeling needs to get used to slowly." Lupine comforted, "However, it is good for you to experience Apparation in advance. When you practice, you can master Apparation faster than others."

   "Remus, can you teach us?"

  Although Harry didn't like the feeling of Apparition, he knew that it was necessary to learn Apparition. If he could master it in advance, it would be much easier to go to other places in the future, and he would definitely not have to worry about the Apparition exam.

   "Not now, there is not enough time, and Apparation requires adult wizards to learn, so there is a reason for him." Lupine shook his head and refused. For Harry now, how to pass the first project is more important.

   "I remember Fred and George said that Albert had mastered apparation very early." Ron interjected, he actually wanted to learn it too, if Professor Lupine was willing to teach it.

   "Albert is just an isolated case." Lupine shook his head and said.

"Okay, stop chatting, we're going to set off after a good rest." Sirius saw that several people had already calmed down, so he handed another "dark creature detector" to Ron, "you help us keep an eye on it." The dark biological detector, once there are red dots around, or if there are red dots approaching quickly, it will tell us immediately."

   "Oh, okay." Ron took the dark biodetector and couldn't help swallowing.

"The dense forest is the home ground of the acromantula. They move very fast in it. Don't hesitate to use the stun spell on it after encountering it." Lupine instructed the three to keep up with Sirius. adjourned.

  The five of them began to walk towards the red dot closest to here.

  Walking in the bushes for a while, Sirius suddenly stopped and looked around with the help of the light on his wand.

   "What's wrong?" Hermione asked softly.

   Sirius made a shh gesture, and there was a loud clicking sound all around.

   "It's nearby." Ron held his wand tightly in his hand, staring at the dark biological detector in his hand, and the red dot coincided with their position.

  Harry stretched out his hand to hold his beating heart, took a deep breath, and said in a low voice, "It's a big guy."

   "Don't worry, we've been prepared. I'll count to three later, and you should close your eyes." Sirius calmly took out a spherical toy from his robe pocket, and began counting down the countdown.

  Harry and the others were a little baffled and didn't know what was going on, but Sirius twisted the ball away and threw it forward.

  In an instant, white light suddenly appeared, and a dazzling ball of light floated above everyone's heads, illuminating the nearby forest.

"What?"

  Harry's eyes were flashed, and when he closed his eyes in pain, Sirius and Lupine beside him had already started to move.

  They had been prepared for a long time, and immediately launched an attack on the exposed acromantula. Two spells hit the acromantula that had not had time to react before the white light flashed into its eyes, and directly knocked the spider to the ground.

  Before Harry, Ron and Hermione could react, Sirius and Lupine chanted a spell together to tie up the hapless spider tightly.

That's it?

  The three of them stared at this scene dumbfounded, but they didn't expect the matter to end so easily.

Sirius took out a box and used magic to throw the mummified acromant into the box, and then he didn't forget to warn Harry: "Don't think that the acromant is weak, it's because it was given by us. Sneak attack. These monsters move very fast in the forest and are extremely dangerous, otherwise they would not be rated as magical creatures."

   "Three red dots are approaching here." Ron's voice was trembling, "They are moving very fast, they are almost here."

   "We'd better get out of here immediately." After Sirius used magic to lock the box, he reached out and grabbed Harry and Apparated away.

   This time, without Lupine's urging, Ron firmly grasped Lupine's hand and let the other party take him away from this place of right and wrong.

  Shortly after the five people left, the three-headed giant spider appeared at their position just now, but there was nothing there.

   "We're lucky," Sirius said cheerfully. They were on an empty plain, and no one would bother them around.

   "Yeah, the method Albert gave really works. I thought it would take some effort to catch the acromantula." Lupine couldn't help feeling that Sirius's Galleon was worth it.

   "Albert?" Hermione looked at Professor Lupine suspiciously.

   "Yes, he gave us an idea." Sirius put the box on the ground, and motioned for the others to step back, he was about to release the acromantula from the box.

   There was no intuitive feeling just now, but now after the acromantula was released by Sirius, Harry felt the horror of the magical creature for the first time. The acromantula that came into view was as big as a horse pulling a cart. It was black and hairy, as if it had magnified a spider countless times.

   "Is it dead?" Ron asked tremblingly.

   "Probably not, probably fainted."

Sirius didn't take his eyes off the acromantula, "These monsters are not ordinary spiders, they are very cunning, they can speak human language, they are terrible predators in the forest, we used to wander in the forbidden forest When I was a child, I also encountered these large spiders, and it took a lot of effort to get rid of them."

   "Harry, you will need to face it alone later." Lupine interrupted Sirius' memory and asked, "Do you know how to deal with it?"

  Harry shook his head.

   "What spell did you use to knock it down?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Spider Scattering Curse, the spell that Albert told us, this spell can cause a lot of damage to spiders, but sometimes what is needed to deal with them is not those powerful spells, but your brains." Lupine continued to guide Ha Li, "Don't think about them confronting them head-on, that's very unwise, you have to find something to attract them, and then restrict their movements, because the acromantula moves really fast and poses a great threat to you, you What do you think should be used to limit the movement of the acromantula?"

   "Stunning Curse, Body Binding Curse, Soft Legs Curse, or Dance Steps Curse?" Harry pondered for a moment, and named out the spells he knew so far that could restrict the movement of acromantula.

   "There are ways, aren't there?" Lupine went on, "But what if it's so magical that spells won't work on it?"

"this…"

  Harry was stunned, because he didn't know what to do in this situation.

"If you are good at transfiguration, you can conjure ropes to bind the eight legs of the acromantula and restrict their movement, but it is very difficult for you, so don't take risks before you are not ready, otherwise it will be very easy Throw away your own life." Sirius looked at the dazed Harry and said, "Okay, Harry, are you ready?"

what to prepare?

  Harry panicked, he didn't prepare anything!

  Ron next to him was equally dazed, and now he was suddenly glad that it wasn't him who faced the acromantula, but Harry. However, this is just an appetizer, Harry also needs to face the dragon in the first project.

   "Don't worry, we're right there." Lupine comforted. He and Black Qiqi used Quick Resuscitation on the giant octopus. The big spider that had fainted started to move. Seeing this scene, Ron shrank back in horror, wishing to hide behind Hermione.

"Don't be afraid of Harry, if you don't dare to face it when someone is protecting you, what are you going to use to deal with that fire dragon?" Sirius patted Harry on the shoulder and encouraged him. He actually didn't want to do this either. Do, but there is no other way, he hoped that Harry could muster up the courage to calmly face the danger in front of him.

There was a rattling sound in his ears, and Harry felt creepy, but he knew that what Sirius said was right, if he didn't have the courage to face the acromantula in front of him when someone was protecting him, then he should take it again. What to face the dragon?

  The big spider struggled to turn over, its eight eyes were staring at Harry, and for some reason, it seemed that the eyes of the acromantula hadn't completely returned to normal.

  Harry took out his wand and chanted at the acromantula: Tarantella dance.

  The dancing spell hit the spider's huge, black and hairy body without any accident, and the spider's legs twitched involuntarily, but soon returned to normal.

  After being attacked, the acromantula rushed towards Harry quickly.

   "Stunning, fainting, fainting!" Harry looked at the giant spider rushing towards him in horror, his head stopped for a moment, and he chanted the Stunning Charm frantically, trying to stun the acromantula.

  However, it was not known whether the acromantula was too resistant to magic power or Harry's spell was too weak. The stun spell didn't work on the acromantula, but it irritated it even more.

  Harry's eye mask reflected the appearance of the acromantula, and that ugly big spider was about to pounce on Harry, and an inexplicable panic surged in Harry's heart.

   "To be punished!"

   Before the acromantula hit him, Harry tried to avoid it with a face full of panic, but it was too late.

Seeing this scene, Ron was so scared that his face turned pale, Hermione had already screamed, but Lupine and Sirius were very calm, and when the acromantula rushed in front of Harry, they were already He raised his wand.

  The acromantula bumped into Harry, as if hitting an invisible protective barrier, and was unable to take another half step.

  The next moment, a large number of vines suddenly gushed out from the ground, firmly restraining the acromantula who was knocked dizzy and had no time to react.

   "Harry, you need to keep calm at all times, instead of throwing magic at the enemy hysterically. Losing your mind is a very dangerous thing." Sirius pulled Harry away from the desperately struggling acromantula.

   "You don't need to be afraid. The most dangerous thing about acromantulas is that they can sneak up on their prey silently in the dense forest. If it's a face-to-face confrontation, these big spiders are actually not much of a threat."

   "Not too much of a threat?" Ron said feebly.

"Yes." Lupine explained for Black, "If it is a direct confrontation, an acromantula is actually not as dangerous as a giant monster, but in a dense forest, an acromantula can easily kill those monsters." Unsuspecting wizard."

   "Harry, eat something to restore your strength, and the training will continue." Sirius took out a few pieces of chocolate and handed them to Harry.

   "Sirius, where did you buy the chocolate?" Harry ate one and felt that his physical strength had recovered a lot.

   "I got it from Albert, and said it can quickly restore physical strength and energy, but that stingy guy only gave me ten yuan." Sirius complained in a low voice.

"I know this thing, Albert's magic candy." Hermione looked away from the acromantula, and said to Harry: "Last time, Albert gave me a small bottle of something similar, and it worked pretty well." .”

Ron opened his mouth. He actually wanted to tell Harry and Hermione that these so-called magical candies were actually experimental products made by those guys, and they just treated you as experimental products, but he finally held back .

   "Harry, continue." Sirius exhorted: "When fighting, you must remain calm at all times, and don't let your emotions affect your judgment."

"You should use other methods to defeat it. Harry, the biggest difference between humans and animals is that we have a smart brain." Lupine said with a smile, "You can try the dancing spell. The acromantoid worked, and your spell should be aimed at the acromantula's legs, the brutes must have a weakness."

   "The weakness of most animals is the belly Harry." Hermione reminded, "You can try to use the Eye Sickness Curse on the eyes of the acromantula."

"I will."

  Harry took a deep breath, and once again faced the acromantula.

This method is actually quite effective. What Harry lacks the most now is combat experience. After facing the giant spider again and again, Harry has gradually become accustomed to the hideous appearance of the giant spider. When rushing over, he didn't have a blank mind and didn't know what to do. The appearance of him fighting the acromantia became more and more like a warrior.

  Harry grows in battle.

   The most unlucky one was probably the giant eight-eyed spider. Its eyes were hit by the Eye Sickness Curse, and it was completely blinded.

  Facing Harry's challenge time and time again, this jungle killer was dying, and was finally mercilessly killed by a spell cast by Sirius, and the poison was taken away by Lupine, and he died a miserable death.

"Good job Harry, you're making great progress. We'll get another one next week. Then you can try to fight these big spiders." Sirius said to Hermione and Ron, "This kind of combat experience is very rewarding." rare."

   "Is it really possible?" Hermione's eyes lit up. She actually wanted to fight the acromantula as long as she was safe.

   "I'll forget it." Ron said dryly, "I hate spiders."

  The three looked at each other and couldn't help laughing.

   "The amount of poisonous juice is less than expected, and it is estimated to be worth fifty or sixty Galleons." Lupine was in a good mood.

  Ron's eyes lit up when he heard the words, but he soon became depressed, because those big spiders were obviously difficult to deal with, and he was really afraid of spiders. Even Gallon couldn't make Ron overcome his fear of spiders.
