36 ~ follow the spiders
Hagrid opened the door.
'Professor Dumbledore Sir.' He said.
'Good evening Hagrid. I wonder... could we?' You heard Dumbledore asked.
'Of course!'
Hagrid stepped aside and Dumbledore walked in with another man.
'That's dad's boss.' Ron spoke. 'Cornelius Fudge. The minister of magic.' He whispered.
He stopped a few steps in front of you.
'Bad business Hagrid... very bad business. Had to come to three attacks on muggle-borns, things have gone far enough, the ministry has got to act!' Cornelius spoke.
'But I'd never... you know I'd never professor!' Hagrid tried.
'I want it understood Cornelius, that Hagrid has my full confidence.'
You looked at the scene. Was something going to happen to Hagrid?
'Albus look... Hagrids record is against him I've got to take him...' Cornelius spoke.
'Take me? Take me where?! Not azkaban prison!'
You looked at Ron and Harry and swallowed. Hagrid was innocent! They couldn't do this!
'I'm afraid we have no choice Hagrid.'
Then the door slightly opened. Your eyes widened and you covered your mouth trying to block any sound. Lucius Malfoy! If he'd see you... you'd be dead! You stared at him terrified and Harry and Ron looked at the door.
'Already here Fudge? Good.' He spoke before entering.
You swallowed and your breath became heavier. Luckily your had your mouth covered.
'What are ye doin' here? Get out of my house!' Hagrid hissed at Lucius.
'Believe me...'
Lucius started walking and you and the boys stepped back as far as you could.
'I have absolutely no pleasure for being inside...'
He stopped right in front of you. Ron grabbed your wrist to comfort you and you looked at him.
'You call this a house?' He asked.
Then he turned around.
'Now... I was simply told by the school that the Headmaster was here.' Lucius spoke and he stepped forwards a bit.
Ron let you go.
'And what is it exactly what you want with me?' Dumbledore asked.
'The other governors and I have decided it's time for you to stand aside.'
No way! He couldn't do this! It's Dumbledore!
'This is a report of suspension.'
Lucius held a piece of paper and stepped forwards.
'You'll find all 12 signatures on it.'
Dumbledore grabbed the paper.
'I'm afraid that we fell that you've rather... lost your touch. And now with all these attacks...'
Lucius turned around and walked back towards the invisibility cloak again.
'There will be no muggle-borns left at Hogwarts... I can only imagine what an awful lost that would be to the school.'
It was as if he looked you straight in the eye. You swallowed but couldn't look away.
'Ye can' take professor Dumbledore away! Take 'm away and the muggle-borns won' stand a chance! Ye mark my words! There will be killings next!'
'You think so?' Lucius asked in amusement while turning back.
'Calm yourself Hagrid.. if the governors desire my removal I will of course step aside.'
You looked at Harry and Ron in disbelieve. The annoying part was that you couldn't do anything.
'How ever...' Dumbledore spoke and he started walking he stopped in front of Lucius.'You will find that help will always be given at Hogwarts, to those who ask for it.' Dumbledore spoke while looking at you three.
'Shall we?' Lucius spoke.
Lucius walked towards the door and opened it while Dumbledore looked at you for a while. Then he walked towards Lucius. The two man walked away.
'Come on Hagrid.'
Hagrid coughed.
'If... if anybody would be looking for some stuff... then all they had to do, would be... to follow the spiders... yup... that will lead them right. That's all I had to say.'
Then Hagrid also walked out with a confused Fudge. When the door closed you pulled the cloak off you. You took a few deep breathes.
'Hagrids right... with Dumbledore gone, there will be an attack a day!' Ron spoke.
'Look.' Harry walked towards the window.
A lot of small spiders made their way up the wall.
'Come on.'
Harry walked to the door and grabbed a lamp.
'Come on Fang.'
You sighed and hurried after them.
'What are we going to do?' You asked.
'We're going to follow the spiders. That's what Hagrid said.'
'NO WAY! I already had a heart attack once! I'm not coming! We're going to get into so much trouble!' You hissed. 'Give me to cloak.'
'No way, come on Y/N.'
You sniffed.
'Fine... but if anything happens to me, I'll kill you!'
You walked with the boys into the dark forest. You followed the trail of spiders until they led to a under-tree passage.
'Harry... I don't like this.' Ron spoke. 'Harry I don't like this at all.' Ron spoke stressed out.
'Shhht!' Harry sighed.
'Can we go back now?' He asked while hiding behind you.
'Come on.' Harry spoke while walking into the passage.
You followed Harry in and looked around you. You were surrounded by huge rotes and spiders. You continued walking until Harry stopped.
'Who is it?' A dark, deep and rather creepy voice asked.
Ron looked at Harry, terrified.
'Don't panic.'
'Hagrid? Is that you?' The voice asked.
'We're friends of Hagrid.' Harry spoke.
Then a huge spider crawled up. You stepped back a bit and you thought Ron was going to faint.
'And you? You're aragog, aren't you?' Harry asked.
'Yes... Hagrid has never sent men into our hallow before.
'He's in trouble. Up at the school, there have been attacks.'
'They think it's Hagrid.' You spoke. 'They think he opened the chamber of secrets, like before.'
Ron looked around with a terrified look on his face.
'That's a lie! Hagrid never opened the chamber of secrets!'
'Then you're not the monster.' Harry spoke.
'No! The monster was born in the castle! I can't to Hagrid from a distant land in the pocket of a traveler!'
'Harry..' Ron spoke so high pitched that you almost couldn't hear it.
'Shush.'
You looked at Ron and he pointed up. You looked up and saw hundreds of spiders!
'But if you're not the monster, then what did kill that girl 50 years ago?'
'We do not speak of it! It is an ancient creature that we spiders fear above all others!'
You sighed.
'But have you seen it?' You asked.
'I've never seen any part of the castle then the box I was kept in. The girl was discovered in a bathroom. When I was accused, Hagrid brought me here.'
Ron looked away from the ceiling and grabbed Harry's sleeve.
'Harry.'
'What?!'
He made a weird sound and pointed up. Harry looked up and more spiders had gathered. Harry swallowed and looked back.
'Well... thank you.'
'The spiders will not hurt Hagrid on my command... but I've never said anything about friends of Hagrid... goodbye.'
You swallowed and grabbed your wand.
'Arania exime!' You hissed knocking a spider back.
You used the spell on more spiders and Ron and Harry joined in.
'There to much of them!' You spoke.
'We have to run!' Harry yelled.
You screamed and started running knocking spiders away from you. Ron and Harry followed you and a huge wave of spiders was behind you.
'Arania exime!' You yelled.
You ran out into the dark forest and ran passed tree and jumped over roots and roots. Just when you thought there was no where to go... there was a rather unusual hero to rescue you...
