Chapter 97: Passing through a sea of flowers without getting a single leaf on you
"So, the Acromantula named Aragog was later sent to the Forbidden Forest by you?"
Harry demanded.
Hagrid nodded:
"Yes, I also found him a wife named Mosag in the Forbidden Forest. They now have hundreds of descendants."
"As far as I know, magical animals like the Acromantula do not have the ability to petrify people."
At this time, George added another sentence.
Hermione thought for a moment and said:
"Since Aragog is in the Forbidden Forest, the monster that comes out of the secret room to attack the students now is not the Acromantula, and that attack back then couldn't have been Hagrid.
Unfortunately, other than us, no one else will believe this. "
From the perspective of outsiders, the Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest may not be the one released by Hagrid from the Secret Chamber. There is no evidence to prove it.
After leaving Hagrid's hut and confirming that Hagrid was not the man from the Chamber of Secrets, the three Harrys' emotions were obviously much higher.
"Since Hagrid was wronged, can we find a way to help him?"
On the way back to the castle, Harry suddenly suggested.
Hermione seemed to have similar thoughts:
"As long as we find a way to lure out the monster and prove that it is not an Acromantula, we can resolve the misunderstanding and restore Hagrid's innocence."
"But the monster seems to have never appeared recently. Could it be over?"
Ron said worriedly.
When George heard the new content discussed by the three people, he couldn't help but sighed secretly in his heart.
"As expected of you!"
There are no students in the school who are not afraid of encountering the monster in the secret room. You three are actually thinking about how to lure the monster out.
Actually, although George lamented the recklessness of the three of them, he had similar thoughts.
However, he is different, he is not reckless, he has his own considerations.
He knew that the monster in the secret room was a basilisk, and he also knew that the basilisk had a fatal weakness.
The basilisk is the most terrifying magical animal hatched by ancient wizards who placed eggs in the bellies of toads and used black magic.
Not only does it have deadly fangs and a huge body, but its eyes also have terrifying magic that can glare at anyone to death and turn it into stone even if it reflects light.
However, this powerful magical creature also has a natural enemy, which is a rooster. As long as it encounters a rooster crowing, the basilisk will basically lose any attack power, and may even be frightened to death on the spot.
That's why Voldemort controlled Ginny and secretly killed all the big roosters Hagrid had raised.
George returned to Diagon Alley this Christmas. In addition to learning how to make wands, he actually secretly bought several big roosters and kept them in boxes he made with the Invisible Stretching Charm.
The purpose is to use it to deal with the basilisk when your life is in danger.
Of course, if you just want to help Hagrid reverse the case, you don't have to actually kill the basilisk. You just need to let everyone know that the monster in the secret room is a basilisk.
And he won't use the big cock trick unless absolutely necessary.
Because neither the box of the Seamless Stretching Spell nor the big rooster raised in advance is difficult to explain.
But that's a story for another day. The diary is still in Harry's hands. It will take some time until Ginny finds out that she stole the diary back and the basilisk will appear again.
The most important thing for him now is to learn the Divine Edge Shadowless Curse.
Time flies, and soon it’s February 14th, which is Valentine’s Day.
As soon as he arrived at the auditorium in the morning, he found that the decoration of the auditorium had changed. The four walls were covered with large dazzling pink flowers, and there were many heart-shaped confetti that kept changing from light blue to falling from the ceiling.
"It looks pretty good. No wonder witches like it so much."
Seeing the little witches entering the great hall with their eyes filled with love, George couldn't help but admire Lockhart's ability in this area.
At the same time, he also lamented that whether they are ordinary people or wizards, as long as they are women, most of them cannot resist these more romantic scenes.
On the other hand, the expressions of some wizards were not so good. After Harry and Ron entered the Great Hall, they saw Lockhart in bright pink robes with disgusted expressions and felt like they were going to vomit.
As for the professors at the long table on the high platform, they seemed to be in a bad mood at the moment, especially Professor Snape, as if someone had just poured him a large glass of Bone Spirit.
Once most of the young wizards had arrived in the Great Hall, Lockhart began his special Valentine's Day morale-boosting plan.
That is to use twelve dwarfs with golden wings, carrying harps on their backs, pretending to be the gods of love, to send Valentine's Day cards to the little wizards at school.
If the little wizard has someone he likes, just write a Valentine's Day greeting card and give it to the dwarves, and they will help deliver it to that person. If necessary, they can also help read it out to express their love.
Lockhart even encouraged everyone to ask Snape for advice on how to refine love potions and Flitwick for psychedelic magic.
Regarding these, George just watched the fun and didn't care.
After all, to him, his avatar is still a child, and most of the students in the school are underage, so he has no plans to fall in love or anything like that.
Falling in love takes time, and now he prefers to spend his time learning magic.
There is no time to fall in love, but the opportunity to learn magic is not easy to come by. Besides, he takes things like falling in love lightly.
Experience in his previous life told him that love is not a necessity. If the body needs it, he can find someone to satisfy it. After that, everyone goes their separate ways and is just a passer-by in their own lives.
Since he came into contact with magic, he felt that magic was what he really wanted to pursue, and everything else had to stand aside.
Passing through the flowers without getting a single leaf on him, this is his attitude towards the opposite sex.
"God of Swords!"
In the Forbidden Forest, George waved his wand, and a transparent sharp blade flew out of his wand, successfully hitting the fleeing mole in front of him, causing it to tear its skin and flesh on the spot.
Page, who was flying above George's head, immediately swooped over, caught the mole in his mouth, and swallowed it in one bite.
There was no class in the morning. After breakfast, George quietly came to the Forbidden Forest to practice the God of Swords and Shadows, and the objects of his practice were various small animals in the Forbidden Forest.
Just like the Fire Spell is a small flame if it is not used well, and it can even turn into a sea of fire if it is used well, the God of Swords and Shadows is the same.
Getting started is like George now, only able to shoot one at a time, and the power is average.
Once you really master it, you can shoot more than one at a time, and the size of each transparent blade will be more than that.
As long as you study it deeply enough, it is not impossible to split a person in half with one blade.
So even if you get started, you must study and practice frequently and not slack off.
I didn't go to the Great Hall for lunch at noon, but ate rock cakes in Hagrid's room. To be honest, if his physique was not much better than that of a normal wizard and his teeth were not strong, he really couldn't bite the rock cake.
But in terms of taste, it's really good, Hagrid is not exaggerating.
