Harry Potter and the Burnt Badger

At this point, Moon suddenly realized what Lockhart had prepared for them here, and why they had to split up and take the opportunity to drive away Hagrid.

Moon didn't believe that Lockhart had brought them here accidentally, looking at how familiar he was and how he never stopped.All of this was trying to prove to Moon that Lockhart brought them here, into the circle surrounded by the Acromantula, [-]% intentionally.

To be honest, in just two days, this was the second time that Moon was shocked by Lockhart.He never dreamed that Lockhart would actually get involved with the Acromantula that Hagrid had raised, Aragog.

The question is, how did this guy do it?Shouldn't Aragog's first reaction when seeing him be to ask his descendants to start a rich dinner?

Moon put away his pocket watch, silently said "magic wand" to Hermione next to him, and then pointed to Gal and Harry in front of him, asking her to remind them.

Forget it, there's no need to think about it anyway. At this point, Lockhart has almost turned into a self-destructing truck. He has no doubt that Lockhart's strong desire to express will force this guy to have a grand performance. Commentary.

For some reason, after learning that Lockhart's trump card was not Voldemort, Moon was a little disappointed.

At this moment, he could only hope that Lockhart would try his best to explain everything clearly later - at least in terms of writing, Lockhart was indeed very capable.

Sure enough, at the next moment, Lockhart suddenly stopped and turned around with a happy smile on his face. With a wave of his arms, countless Acromantulas had already disappeared into the jungle.

And on the ground ahead, white traces of spider silk began to appear...

Chapter 78 Lockhart survives the disaster

It's funny, the first moment he saw these spiders, the first thought that flashed in Harry's mind was not fear, nor was he immediately thinking of a way to escape, but - luckily Ron wasn't here.

Remus had told them in class that in the third grade, they would be introduced to a very strange thing: the Boggart, that kind of thing that could see through the deepest fears in people's hearts.In addition, Remus told them with a smile that what Moon was most afraid of was actually the very traditional image of the God of Death.

After that get out of class, Ron quietly told him that when he was in third grade, he would have to take time off from teaching Boggart.If he really saw a spider, he would be so frightened that he would be unable to move.

At this moment, Harry really felt that if Ron were here, it wouldn't be a matter of being able to move, but...

Will Ron be frightened outright?

The rustling and messy sounds came from the surroundings more and more densely, and together with the increasing number of ferocious spider monsters around, an occasional strong wind blew by, which directly made the four little wizards get goosebumps. pimple.

Although Munn is not afraid, to be honest, when you are surrounded by densely packed and huge spider monsters and fall into a sea of ​​spiders...

Really disgusting.

In particular, they each have eight round eyes that shine brightly in the moonlight.

Moon turned his head and looked at the other three people - Harry seemed quite calm, but he soon began to swallow his saliva, holding the wand tightly in his right hand, and even his knuckles turned a little white.

Hermione and Gal were relatively inferior. Hermione's face was pale, and her hands were twisting the corners of her clothes, as if she had almost forgotten the existence of the wand in her hand; Gal's legs were swaying slightly, and he became The first person among the four to speak, he raised his hand and pointed around, looking like Munn in fear, and said in a trembling voice: "Mu...Muen...spiders, there are spiders! So many spiders!"

However, Garr's grip on his wand was just as tight as Harry's.

"I saw it." Moon took a deep breath. He was quite satisfied with the result - no one screamed, and no one was so scared that they lost their minds and ran away. When facing monsters, especially When facing monsters of this magnitude that are obviously difficult to defeat, panic and fear are normal. After all, they are just a group of young children who have not grown up.

It is enough to be able to stand calmly and consciously think about protecting yourself as the first step.

Moon held his wand and looked at Lockhart, only to find that instead of making a long speech, he didn't even say a single word. Instead, he was secretly retreating to the side, seemingly looking for a way out.

Seeing his appearance, Moon suddenly recalled something in his mind.

Once before, Lockhart appeared in a panic in the castle corridor, looking uneasy and covered in mud.

Combined with the fact that he only made a wonderful appearance, he immediately ended his performance, as if he was trying to find a crack in the ground to crawl in - some things seemed to suddenly have an explanation.

Moon obviously couldn't sit back and watch Lockhart escape, but what was more important at the moment was that since these spiders were not following Lockhart's orders, they might attack at any time.Rather than letting Harry and others take some risks, Moon felt that Lockhart might be more suitable to be the companion of danger.

So he immediately waved his wand, and a spark swirled down in front of Lockhart, making Lockhart look back subconsciously in shock.

It's now!

Mental Drowning Technique!

Just as he turned around, Lockhart suddenly felt his head was confused, his body went limp, and he immediately collapsed to the ground and passed out.

After Munn started to take action, the Acromantulas that had formed an encirclement immediately couldn't restrain their impulse and began to fly down towards the four little wizards in the center, launching an attack.

"Hold on to your wands!" Seeing that except for Harry, Gal and Hermione were still a little unresponsive, Moon immediately shouted, opened his wind clothes, waved his wand, and exploded with an explosive spell. An Acromantula flew away and was rushing toward Hermione. "Cant! Don't stand there stupidly! Have you lived enough?!"

When it came time to start the war, the superiority between Harry, Gal and Hermione was immediately clear.

Harry reacted the fastest. When Moon had just moved his hand towards Lockhart and the overwhelming Acromantulas began to charge, he had already thrown several spells in succession and accurately hit two of them. He targeted the Acromantula; Garr followed closely behind, but he was too busy waving his wand in a panic. He didn't pronounce even half a syllable of the spell until Munn shouted the first sentence. Just as he woke up from a dream, he released a strong wind to disturb the enemy - but it was deflected.

As for Hermione... this girl's reaction was the slowest. It wasn't until Moon shouted "Is life enough?!" that she overcame her fear, loosened her clothes and grasped her wand firmly.However, after that, her performance was better than Gal's. Not only was the accuracy of her spells higher, but her choice of spells was also much richer and more flexible.

Of course, all these evaluations are based on the premise that the three of them are a group of young wizards who have not yet graduated.What they were facing now was a group of extremely ferocious Acromantulas, and they were not restrained at all, not even by the false restraints of Aragog.

What's more important is that the number of these Acromantulas is so dense that there is almost no end in sight, and they are completely surrounded by the enemy, like a precarious broken ship on the sea.

Therefore, there is no doubt that the resistance of the three people can only be a drop in the bucket. Even Harry, who is in the best condition, is about to be approached by the Acromantula.

"Reducto!"

"Impedimento!"

"Flouentus!"

The three Harrys cast spells one after another. However, in the end, an Acromantula rushed to Gal with its giant feet - at this moment, looking at the two huge spider teeth, and the The eight ferocious eyes, and the disgusting stench rising from the tip of his nose - Gal felt like he would suffocate in the next second.

Moon glanced at the time on the pocket watch on his left hand.

24 seconds.

It was an unexpected surprise that the three of them could persist for such a long time.

He waved a bolt of lightning with his backhand, and the sudden flash of light arrived behind him in an instant, hitting the Acromantula that was about to start a face-to-face dance with Gal, sending it flying away.Then, several rays of electric light rushed out from its body and converged on more Acromantulas behind it - in the blink of an eye, a large number of Acromantulas had fallen to the ground.

Gal, who was surviving the disaster, couldn't think about anything at all. His mind went blank. Even though he was breathing heavily, he still subconsciously said, "Merlin's smelly socks... what the hell are these things?" Son……"

Garr's siege had been resolved, but there were still two people in danger standing beside him. Moon only had time to take another look at Lockhart, who was being trampled on his back by the Acromantula, and then he raised his wand and suddenly A large piece of fire was unleashed.

The raging fierce fire roared out with Munn's wand as its source, and suddenly turned into a giant whale in mid-air, and landed heavily in front of Munn.Then, countless flames suddenly burst out and turned into large groups of basilisks, which began to meander through the forest, devouring the Acromantulas around them.Wherever he passed, the green grass withered, the branches and leaves shrank, and the cold air that was originally carried by the strong wind immediately became scorching.

"Huh..." Harry's eyes widened and he looked around for Lockhart full of anger. "Where's Lockhart! He definitely wants to kill us! He did it on purpose!"

Looking at the fire snakes swimming around crazily, Hermione finally breathed a sigh of relief and slumped to the ground. She weakly tugged at the corner of Harry's clothes, "Stop shouting, Harry. We all know that he did it on purpose." Think about it, now we have iron-clad factual evidence."

It was probably the monstrous fire that finally attracted Hagrid's attention. After a while, the four people protected by the fierce fire heard the loud shouts of Hagrid and others, as well as the sounds of curses and screams coming from time to time. ——The former mostly comes from Cedric, while the latter is also contributed by Arlin, Ron and Yaya.

Of course, in addition to the frightened screams when facing the fleeing Acromantula, Arlin and Ron did not forget to take the time to call their friends.

"Gall! I'm here to save you! Where are you?!"

"Harry! Hermione! Moon!"

"Ouch!~~~!"

Well, no one knows what Yaya’s cry means.

However, before the three of them could be happy for even two seconds, a strong tremor came from beneath their feet.They hurriedly looked at Munn who was still trying to control Li Huo, but saw that Munn also had a solemn look on his face and waved his other hand back, signaling them to step back.

The next moment, from the direction where there were faint white traces of spider silk on the ground, a huge and daunting Acromantula suddenly rushed over quickly on fire, as straight as a speeding train. He ran towards Moon.

In fact, Moon's control over the Li Fire is still far behind Uncle Golov's - the impact on the plants where the Li Fire was previously swept is the best proof. He has not yet been able to perfectly control the Li Fire. Fire, let Li Huo only have an effect on his own target.

However, this does not mean that his fierce fire is not powerful enough.

The most terrifying thing about black magic like Li Huo is that even if the wizard has no ability to control it, as long as the spell is released, the spell itself will exert its strongest power, but it will attack the enemy regardless of ourselves. .

From this, we can fully see the terror of this Acromantula, which is as big as a small elephant.

At least if he relied solely on his powerful fire, it would be difficult for Moon to drive it away like he had just done with the other Acromantulas.

Looking at the giant Acromantula that was running with the potential to collapse the earth and destroy mountains, Munn quickly extinguished his fierce fire, leaned over and transformed into a giant bear, and slapped it with all his strength.

"Boom-"

There was a muffled sound and dust flew everywhere. Hermione, who had been so frightened that she almost didn't dare to open her eyes, slowly opened her eyelids to a crack, only to see a huge brown bear blocking the Acromantula. The impact even knocked the Acromantula back several steps.

Beside her, Harry and Gal were all staring ahead with dumbfounded eyes, as if they had seen a ghost.

"Where's M-Mun?" Hermione asked in a low voice with a hint of hesitation.

Gal didn't know how to answer for a moment, so it was up to Harry to clear up Hermione's doubts.

"Moon... is an Animagus." Harry blinked, and his mouth that was slightly open due to shock finally closed. "That bear is Munn."

"Wizard!" Aragog looked at the giant bear in front of him suspiciously. He gave up attacking again for a while. Instead, he stepped uneasily with his giant feet and asked in a dull voice: "Why do you want to slaughter my descendants?"

This evil person's first complaint suddenly confused the three inexperienced Harrys - shall we massacre your descendants?

Are even spiders so shameless these days?

"They came to attack us first!" Harry broke free from Hermione's pull, stood up angrily and reprimanded loudly: "We are just fighting back! This is all Lockhart's fault!"

Moon, who was still confronting Aragog, returned to his human form. While giving Harry a thumbs up, he turned his head to look at Aragog. "Aragog, right?"

When the little wizard in front of him, who looked to be only fourteen or fifteen years old, called out his name, the Acromantula suddenly became even more uneasy. It took another half step back restlessly, "Who are you? How do you know me?" of--"

Before it finished speaking, it suddenly raised its eyes and looked in another direction in front of it. The next moment, Hagrid walked out of the forest with Cedric, Arlin and Ron holding wands.

"Aragog?!" As soon as he saw the Acromantula, Hagrid's expression suddenly became extremely unbelievable. "Did you really do it?!"

Except for Munn, the other little wizards present were all at a loss, especially Harry, Hermione and Garr - whether it was Munn or Hagrid, they all seemed to know this Acromantula. Same?

Moon sighed, shook his head slightly at Harry who was looking at Harry who was about to ask, and then pointed to Lockhart next to him, "Hagrid, we'll deal with Aragog's problem later. Let's deal with it first." Take Lockhart with you and leave the Forbidden Forest—if he's not dead yet."

After seeing the little wizard who had just turned into a giant bear and slapped him speak, Hagrid's expression seemed to loosen a little. Aragog immediately breathed a sigh of relief and immediately quietly retreated back, no longer showing any signs of rushing out. So wild and fearless.Hagrid glanced at Aragog, who was running away silently, with a complex expression, then reluctantly put away his crossbow, and looked at Lockhart, who was lying on the ground, covered in filth and with faint traces of blood on the corners of his mouth, "What's wrong with him?" Was bitten?"

"That's not true, but I guess... I was stepped on by the Acromantula many times on my back? More than ten feet? Dozens of feet? I can't remember clearly." Munn finally said something that made everyone smile. , the little wizards also relaxed a little.

Hagrid silently stepped forward to check, "He's not dead yet, he's really lucky...Looking at his appearance, he is probably the most...useless Defense Against the Dark Arts professor in the history of Hogwarts." "

Seeing Hagrid lift up Lockhart's collar with one hand and carry him to his side, Moon put away his wand and helped Ron go over to mix it with Hermione - Ron was really brave, Even though his legs were weak, he still thought about going to Lagar and Hermione.

"Believe me, Hagrid, it's not good news for him that he didn't get trampled to death. On the contrary, it's extremely bad news for him."

After confirming that Harry could hold Ron and Hermione on his own at the same time, and that Arlin and Gal could support each other lovingly, Moon glanced at Lockhart, who had his arms and head drooped and a pale face. "Also, , he should no longer be the Defense Against the Dark Arts professor at Hogwarts soon."

Hagrid obviously did not understand Moon's not-so-straightforward words. Of course, this may also be because more than half of his thoughts were still concerned with Aragog.Seeing Hagrid turning back three times, and wanting to look at the figure behind him from time to time, Moon patted his arm gently, "Don't think about it, Hagrid, it is absolutely impossible for it to stay in the Forbidden Forest."

"I know..." Hagrid exhaled. He didn't realize that the Lockhart in his hand was "hit" against the tree, causing a new wound. "I just feel... a little sad."

His voice became low and trembling slightly, probably to prevent Harry, Cedric and others in front of him from hearing it. Hagrid also deliberately kept his voice to a minimum, "You should know, I raised it after all. It's been so long, it's been 50 years... Oh, Merlin, I never dreamed that it would attack you, I'm really sorry..."

"It's okay, Hagrid. It's...well, it's not entirely your fault."

Moon wanted to say that it's not your fault, but he thought again - Aragog was raised in the forest by Hagrid after all. Without Hagrid, Aragog would still be somewhere.

But for Hagrid, just saying that it doesn't matter was enough to make his nose sore. "No, really, it's all my fault. God, when I think about you still preparing those things for me, I feel a little uncomfortable." Facing you——"

Hagrid sniffed hard, and the loud sound startled the little wizards in front of him and turned their heads.Perhaps because he felt that it was a bit inconvenient to hold it in his hand, Hagrid simply lifted Lockhart onto his shoulders.

So Lockhart received another blow. Although he was still unconscious, he still vomited a little blood, and all of it flowed into his dusty and gel-deformed hair.

Munn immediately became happy after noticing this scene. He smiled and shook his head vigorously, "Don't blame yourself, Hagrid. To be honest, you have done a lot for me and us - sincerely. "

Chapter 79 New Summer Course Bookings

After leaving the Forbidden Forest, the little wizards followed Hagrid all the way back to the castle, and then rushed to the school hospital together.

After Hagrid "lightly" placed the half-dead Lockhart on the hospital bed in the school hospital, Madam Pomfrey was almost frightened by Lockhart's appearance. She looked at the people in confusion and pressed He asked in a low voice: "Merlin's beard, who can tell me what happened? Why was a Hogwarts professor injured like this on campus? He was beaten by you. Hagrid?"

"No, ma'am." Hagrid's face showed a bit of embarrassment after his beard. "Uh, I'm not sure how to explain it to you..."

He looked at the other young wizards as if asking for help. Hermione, who had already recovered, took the first step forward and said to Madam Pomfrey: "Madam, he was attacked by a monster in the Forbidden Forest——"

Harry was a little confused at first as to why Hermione didn't just tell the truth.But he soon realized that Hermione probably wanted to explain everything clearly to Professor Dumbledore before announcing the truth.Thinking of this, Harry immediately looked back at the door of the campus hospital, but the figure of the kind old man did not appear there.

"Forbidden Forest? Well, give him to me first. It's going to kill him. Almost all the bones in his body are broken." Madam Pomfrey sighed and said, "I can only stabilize his injuries first. , and see, if that doesn't work, poor Gilderoy Lockhart will have to spend his spring at St. Mungo's."

After complaining for a while, Madam Pomfrey kicked Hagrid and the little wizards out of the school hospital. Everyone stood in the deserted corridor. You looked at me and I looked at you. No one knew what to say. Come down and do something.

Logically speaking, they should still be patrolling the Forbidden Forest at the moment.

In the end, it was Moon who gave the final answer - everyone should go back and rest.

The reason why Hagrid needs to patrol the Forbidden Forest is precisely because strange footprints have been left in the Forbidden Forest recently, and now it seems that those footprints were obviously left by the idiot Lockhart.Not to mention the confinement of these young wizards, it was also Lockhart's fault.

Now, the same culprit of these two incidents is lying in the school hospital. Why are they going to the Forbidden Forest?Take a walk?

Regarding Moon's decision, everyone naturally chose to adopt it unconditionally.So, Harry, Hermione and Ron rushed all the way up to the Gryffindor common room, while Hagrid, Moon and others went all the way down. One was preparing to leave the castle, and the rest were heading towards Hutch. Heading to Patch's common room.

However, when they walked to the door of the auditorium on the first floor, a figure wearing a silver-grey robe made Hagrid and Moon stunned.

Hearing the footsteps coming from the stairs, the old man in silver-gray robe turned around, smiled and waved to a few people, "Ah, good evening, Hagrid, and everyone. Look at you, Loha. Professor Ter should have been properly placed with Madam Pomfrey? How is he? Is he okay?"

Hagrid was the first to answer. He looked a little nervous, but he still said sternly: "Not very well, sir. Madam Pomfrey said that all the bones in Lockhart's body were broken."

"Sounds pretty good." Professor Dumbledore winked at a few people. "Professor Lockhart should also pay some price for what he has done for so long - now, although it is a little late, but I think I may have to borrow some of Moon, and there may be some important things that I need to talk to him about now.”

Naturally, the others didn't have any objections. Only Munn looked at the old man speechlessly, saying in his heart, if you want to find me, just ask me. If you have to say something to borrow, it makes me look like something.
