HP: White Lord of Slytherin

The news of Hagrid's arrest and sentencing soon reached the school. Lockhart often declared at school that the crisis had been resolved. Gloria felt that he just didn't want to do the patrol and escort tasks anymore.

This wizard, who only has a handsome appearance, has looked much more haggard recently and has obvious dark circles under his eyes.

Ever since Headmaster Dumbledore left school, Gloria boldly released Apophis and asked him to follow Harry and the others, to follow any action they took, and to provide help if there was any danger. She had a hunch that the opportunity to take away Basil was imminent, and it mainly depended on Harry.

The scales of Golinia and Jörmungandr are too conspicuous, and the black-scaled Apophis is easier to hide.

As he had to be sent on a mission, Apophis refused to go out until he had eaten the "reward", which made the other two snakes very envious.

Apophis had been following the two guys for several days. Their behavior was quite regular, rushing back and forth between the dormitory, auditorium, and classroom.

Lying on the edge of the ceiling of the Gryffindor dormitory, the two unlucky guys finally seemed to take action until midnight when everyone began to rest, and they took out the invisibility cloak and put it on.

As a product of magic and alchemy, it was the same as not wearing anything for him.

The two sneaked out of the dormitory, went to Hagrid's hut first, took a dog and walked into the Forbidden Forest. Apophis shook the tip of his tail. Gloria was right. Gryffindors loved adventure. A second-year student going to the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night was not only brave but also reckless.

Harry raised his wand and spelled out Lumos, carefully identifying the direction in which the spiders on the road were moving.

After about twenty minutes, they had entered the Forbidden Forest. The treetops around them became increasingly dense, and the night sky above them could not be seen. The only sounds were the snapping of branches and the rustling of leaves.

As the two were becoming more and more frightened, two beams of dazzling light shone on them. It turned out to be the magic car that ran into the Forbidden Forest at the beginning of the school year.

It was much transformed now, and Ron was glad to see it again.

Before they could be happy for long, several giant eight-eyed spiders grabbed them and the dog and ran deep into the forbidden forest. Apophis quickly caught up. Since the two were not bitten, they probably didn't need help.

The two men and the dog were dragged deep into the forbidden forest, to the lair of the eight-eyed giant spider.

Apophis restrained all his breath and observed silently from the tree.

Harry called out Aragog's name, but the spiders didn't hurt them immediately. It seemed that they entered the Forbidden Forest to find Aragog. Apophis planned to wait and see.

The two boys asked about what happened fifty years ago and found out that the Monster in the Chamber of Secrets was not Aragog at all and Hagrid was wrongly accused. However, this very old Acromantula did not dare to mention the name of Basilisk at all, and only said that they were extremely afraid of the real Monster in the Chamber of Secrets.

They did mention the girl who died in the bathroom fifty years ago.

After the questioning, the spiders, except Aragog, were ready to move. Harry and Ron realized later that they would not let anyone go except Hagrid.

Just when the two boys thought they were dead, Apophis flashed and instantly recovered a certain size. His huge body coiled around the tree stump and hissed at the eight-eyed giant spiders to intimidate them.

Harry immediately sensed something and looked in the direction of Apophis, but it was too dark here and he could see nothing but darkness. Then he saw a little red light faintly behind a tree stump, and his heart began to beat like a drum.

"We are dead, Harry. What should we do now?" Ron cried. "Mum and Dad won't even be able to find our bodies."

Looking at the size of these eight-eyed giant spiders, you can tell that they will be eaten until not even a bone is left.

Harry shook Ron, "Quiet, can't you see that the spiders are running!"

Ron wiped away his tears, and sure enough, the spiders turned around and ran away. Only when they moved did he realize how huge their number was.

"What happened? Have they finally understood that we are Hagrid's best friends?"

Harry grabbed him and said, "The spiders are obviously scared away. So many big and scary spiders are so scared, which means..."

Ron couldn't cry anymore, and said with a sad face: "It means there is something more terrible here--"

Harry even felt his body trembling. "Aragog said they are very afraid of the real Monster of the Chamber of Secrets... Is that monster out to hunt us?"

Ron started to tremble as well. "It looks like we're going to die here anyway. Why don't we run first?"

He deeply felt that coming to the Forbidden Forest tonight was a completely wrong decision.

Apophis, whose body had shrunk in size, sneered to himself. These two little brats were really funny.

hum-

There was a roar of an engine, and two beams of light shone on their faces like holy light. Ron covered his face and said in surprise, "It's a car!"

Harry ran towards the car, but the dog was faster. All the doors opened, and the two men and the dog quickly got in. The car turned around suddenly and took them away from the Forbidden Forest towards the castle.

Harry and Ron reached the edge of the Forbidden Forest and were thrown out again. The car turned around and returned to the Forbidden Forest.

Ron was furious, "When Hagrid gets out of Azkaban, I'm going to kill him!"

Harry was also shocked, "Maybe Hagrid didn't expect that he was the only person the spiders didn't hurt."

After watching them return to the castle noisily, Apophis rushed to the Slytherin dormitory. When Gloria was lying on the bed thinking about when the opportunity would come, Golinia moved.

"Apophis is approaching."

Gloria immediately got up and went to the dormitory door. It was past midnight and there was no one in the common room, so she successfully picked up Apophis.

"Why are you back at this time? Is there something wrong?"

Apophis said cheerfully, "Those two little brats just came out of the Forbidden Forest. They went to find the giant eight-eyed spider to learn about what happened fifty years ago. The oldest spider said that he was going to let his descendants eat them. I scared off the spiders, and a magic car sent them out of the Forbidden Forest. Then I came back."

Gloria sat cross-legged on the bed, "So the magic car is still inside. I thought the creature inside would destroy it. What did the spider say?"

"Some nonsense." Apophis said, "But the old spider mentioned that a girl died in the bathroom fifty years ago, which is the new entrance to the secret room. If the little ghost is smart enough, he should be able to know such an obvious clue."

There are many ghosts in the school, but the only one who stays in the bathroom all year round is the female ghost.

Gloria breathed a sigh of relief. "That's good. If you still don't know, I'll find another way to give you a hint."

She just said it was impossible. She couldn't let anyone know that she already knew the entrance to the secret room, but she watched the petrification incidents continue to happen.

Apophis climbed on top of her. "I scared off those spiders in the Forbidden Forest today. I used up my energy and need magic gems. Gloria, please feed me the gems--"

Golinia immediately followed up, "I have been keeping my senses and know that Apophis will come back and will also need the magic gem."

Jörmungandr: “…”

Gloria had expected this to happen, so she took out the box and opened it. "Four for Apophis, three for Golinia, and two for Jörmungandr. Do you have any objections?"

Of course not. Frequent bargaining can easily lead to losing everything.
