Settle at Hogwarts

Chapter 182 Aragog



Just when Tabor thought Tom might not release the basilisk.This school year can be spent peacefully.

But one sunny afternoon, Hagrid secretly knocked on the door and entered his office.He held a huge box in his arms, and the things in the box kept making "click, click" sounds.

"Hagrid? What are you doing?"

Tabor sat behind his desk, stroking the phoenix, and guessing what was in Hagrid's box.They hadn't seen each other for some time since Hagrid wisely gave up his alchemy lessons.

"Professor Prince, there is an Acromantula inside."

The big spider with eight black eyes and its whole body covered with thick black hair wanted to rush out of the box the moment it saw the light.But Hagrid's big palm-like hand pushed him back.

Looking at the slightly aggrieved black eyes, Tabor suddenly felt that this little spider seemed a little cute.

"To deal with this kind of thing, you should go to Professor Kettleburn. You and he got along well before, didn't you?"

Tabor looked at the young Acromantula and thought of its astonishing fecundity and the 100 Galleons a pint of venom cost.Well, it feels cuter!

"Professor, don't you know? Professor Kettleburn was injured again and seemed to be poisoned. He was sent to St. Mungo's."

"Oh, really." Tabor took a sip of cherry juice to hide his embarrassment. "So, you came to me with it?"

Hagrid looked at the Acromantula with worried eyes: "Aragog, oh! That's the name of this giant spider. There's something wrong with it today, it seems very uneasy."

"Are you uneasy?" Tabor's eyes flashed with solemnity.

Spiders are afraid of basilisks, and the perception of animals is much more sensitive than that of humans. Perhaps the basilisk has begun to wake up at this time.

"Hagrid, are you going to keep this Acromantula forever?"

Hearing Tubo's question, Hagrid's hand holding the box tightened: "Professor, Aragog is still a baby, he's still small."

Seeing the hybrid giant, who was taller than himself, making this gesture, Tabor threw a toffee into his mouth to calm down his shock, and then said as calmly as possible: "You have to know, it will soon grow into a horse." It’s so big that it can’t live in a closet forever.”

Seeing Hagrid's unmoved look, Tabor continued to persuade: "There shouldn't be single rooms in the Gryffindor lounge. The venom of the Acromantula is a fatal threat to other students. If you accidentally get caught by your Aragog is bitten. Not only him, but you will be fired as well."

Hagrid defended in a "low voice": "Aragog is a good boy and he will not hurt others."

Tabor turned around and walked to the window, looking towards the Forbidden Forest in the distance.

"It's very restless and doesn't want to stay in the castle. You should let it go to the Forbidden Forest. Unless you can tell where you got Aragog, it will be a hidden danger sooner or later."

"Uuuuuu~! But, I can't bear to part with it."

Faced with this boy whose appearance and heart were extremely inconsistent, Tabor hesitated for a moment, then directly summoned Fawkes and asked him to throw the box containing Aragog into the Forbidden Forest.

Fox looked at the box with some disgust and was reluctant to move his claws.

Hagrid also hugged him tighter, and big tears slipped into the box and hung among the black fur on Aragog's body.

"Let your strength loose."

"Passed out."

Although Hagrid was a hybrid giant with extremely high resistance to magic, he still fell to the ground with a "bang" when faced with Tabor's two enhanced spells.

The box that he had been holding in his arms was also thrown aside.

"Click, click."

Aragog, who was thrown to the ground, climbed out of the box unsteadily and was about to rush towards the door.

"Quick imprisonment."

A ray of light struck the body of the Acromantula from the tip of Tabor's staff, instantly making its body freeze in place, unable to move.

"Although he is still a child, I should be able to get some venom. Just think of it as payment for your return to the Forbidden Forest." Tabor walked around Aragog and easily collected a bottle of venom.

Seeing Fox who still didn't want to move, he had no choice but to take Aragog and fly down from the window, leaving him in the Forbidden Forest.

By the time Tabor returned to his office, Hagrid had woken up and was looking around with confusion.

"Okay, remember one thing. You have never raised an Acromantula, you have to say so no matter who asks you, you know?" Tabor warned seriously.

You must know that Acromantula eggs are prohibited from trading, and Hagrid's identity as a hybrid giant is already very sensitive. If he gets involved with these things, he will definitely be dragged into Azkaban and used as a reserve food for the Dementors. .

"But......."

Hagrid sniffed, took out a handkerchief from his pocket, and wiped the tears on his face haphazardly.

"No but, you have to remember what I said, otherwise you will be in trouble. And Aragog will live very well in the Forbidden Forest. If you apply to stay in school when you graduate from Hogwarts, you will still see him .”

Hagrid lowered his head and crossed his fingers, suddenly doubting whether his decision to come to Professor Prince today was right.

"Okay, Hagrid. You go back first! Remember to study hard and don't make mistakes. After you graduate successfully, you can stay at Hogwarts. Maybe you can build a house in the Forbidden Forest like Professor Kettleburn did. There are many cute little ones around."

After seeing Aragog's state, Tabor felt a little uneasy. Now that the basilisk had woken up, would it still be far before Tom released it?

"Okay, okay. Professor Prince."

As soon as Hagrid left, Tubbo carried Fawkes downstairs.

When Duoduo was found at the door of the women's bathroom on the third floor, Duoduo claimed that he had not seen any boys entering the bathroom.

Tabor didn't know that it was Tom who summoned the basilisk and it woke up.Or the basilisk was supposed to wake up at this time, and happened to meet Tom, the heir of Slytherin.

But now it seems that Duoduo is very likely not to be able to see through Tom's disillusionment spell.

Thinking of this, Tabor directly used a disguise spell on himself, and then walked into the girls' bathroom.

"I hope I won't be regarded as a pervert."

"Woooooo~~~!"

Listening to the girl's somewhat familiar cry, Tabor had a bold guess in his mind.

It wouldn't be the first time that Tom opened the secret room, and the basilisk ran out happily, and "accidentally" glared a marrow wizard to death, which attracted the attention of the school, and then was imprisoned again.

"Miss Warren?" Tabor asked tentatively.

"Who? This is the women's bathroom, get out!"
