Chapter 278 Harry's Decision
It was not until the way back that everyone seemed to accept this fact.
Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were still worried about the demands of the centaurs, while Sirius was very dissatisfied with Margaret's attitude, with an extremely contemptuous expression on his face.
"These centaurs are a bunch of nasty old mules, aren't they?" he said disapprovingly, skirting a patch of nettles. "They're too stubborn to look down on human wizards."
"In addition to being stubborn, they are absolutely crazy to make such a request, asking us to weaken the power of the acromantula!" Ron said out of breath, "They don't even think about it, we How could four twelve or thirteen-year-old wizards defeat the Acantaraman?!"
No one spoke, and everyone didn't know how to answer Ron.
"Come to think of it, it's crazy to have to gouge out the spider's eyes and bring them to them!" Ron continued, with a tremor in his voice,
He has never been resistant to spiders, and the expression on his face is extremely frightened.
"The question now is not whether it can be done, but what should be done?" Hermione said in a panic, "Firenze said that we can only choose to accept or refuse."
"Yeah, if we want to get the magical item left by Gryffindor that can increase the magic power, we have to do this, there is no other choice!" Ron snapped off the branch in front of him, "Damn it!" , Gryffindor himself must have been confused at the time, so he would ask these centaurs."
"According to Firenze, the centaurs are not asking us to specifically kill or eliminate how many acromantulas, but to show enough courage and sincerity." Hermione analyzed, "This must be a reminder, Things may not be as difficult as we thought."
"To me, it all means the same thing." Ron wrinkled his nose and said in a drawn-out tone, "No matter what, we're going to fight those monsters and kill them. Oh, the giant monster with eight eyes Spider, I will definitely have nightmares tonight!"
There was another silence, and everyone felt bad.
The horror of the acromantula again appeared in Ivan's mind. The eight black and malicious eyes on top of their heads, the furry spider legs, and the big pincers that made loud clicking and clicking noises from time to time.
Aside from the disgusting appearance and reluctance to approach, Aiwen is not very afraid of the acromantula.
In terms of combat strength, he is now completely superior to these monsters.
The question now is what to do to make the horses happy.
This scale is very difficult to grasp, and Ivan is even considering the possibility of entering Aragog's lair again and killing the king of the acromantia.
Although dangerous, but with proper planning, it is not impossible!
Ivan was not sure whether to do this, he looked up at Sirius, wanting to see what he had to say.
Sirius didn't speak, and the aloof and dismissive look on his face looked the same as usual. Noticing Ivan's gaze, he smiled slightly, as if he wanted to express his opinion after everyone had decided.
In this way, the five of them walked forward silently, and the Forbidden Forest at night was particularly gloomy. A few unknown huge creatures flew over everyone's heads, making terrifying noises, but the invisible pressure brought by the acromantula was more frightening than the surrounding darkness.
"Evan, you said before that after you hunted Peter Pettigrew into the Forbidden Forest, you encountered acromantulas and fought them." Harry said suddenly, his voice sounded in the dark Strangely, "What is their strength?"
"It's very dangerous, it's best not to provoke it." Ai Wen said honestly, "Acromantus has very strong attack power, and their sharp claws are extremely poisonous, and their huge bite force can bite a person alive. The most dangerous thing is their number, you know, last time I saw at least hundreds of acromantulas."
Hearing Ivan's description, Ron's face turned pale.
"There are too many of them, we can't deal with them head-on, we have to find a way." Hermione whispered, "Ivan, does the acromantula have any weaknesses?"
"Their attack methods are relatively simple. Only the big pincers are aggressive, and they have no long-range attack capabilities." Aiwen continued, "The defense is also relatively poor. General attack spells can cause damage to them. I think petrification spells or obstacle spells All good choices."
"Weak defense, single attack method." Hermione said uncertainly, "If you say that, as long as you don't get caught by them, it's not invincible."
"Oh my God, Hermione, you really don't intend to fight those acromantulas!" Ron fussed, "The centaurs only want to bring them spider eyes, I just thought about it, we don't need our own To make a move, you can ask Sirius or other professors."
Harry and Hermione looked hesitant, and Ron's idea was indeed a good idea.
"Sirius, will you help us?" Ron asked expectantly.
"That's right!" Sirius nodded simply, "I once promised Aiwen to help him get the approval of the centaur. As long as you need it, I will help you clean up those acromants. This is your last Decided?"
His gaze slid slowly across everyone, and finally fell on Harry.
"No, Sirius!" Harry said hesitantly, shaking his head, "I don't need your help, I think we'll have to do it ourselves"
"Harry!" Ron shouted hastily, his face full of surprise and panic.
"You know, Ron!" Harry's voice became more and more firm, "We have to do it ourselves, don't forget what Firenze said, the centaur's request is not that we can really destroy the acromantula, But want to see our courage and sincerity."
"But" Ron opened his mouth unwillingly, not knowing what to say.
He turned his head to look at Ivan and Hermione, hoping to get their support. Harry's decision was too risky and irrational no matter how he looked at it.
Ivan and Hermione didn't speak, they both took a step in Harry's direction to show their positions.
Looking at the decision made by his friends, Ron stood still and hesitated, the expression on his face changed rapidly, and finally he had to walk over with a sigh.
"Very well, Harry, you didn't let me down!" Sirius watched all this silently, and said with a gratified smile, "In the face of danger, not everyone has the courage to face difficulties, and this is the key to success." The rarest."
"I just said what was in my heart, without thinking too much," Harry said shyly.
"I know that in the eyes of others, the decision you made today may be dangerous and irrational, but I want to say that your father and I will be proud of you." Sirius said slowly, "Ha Leigh, Ivan, Ron, and Hermione, I hope you four can remember that the most rare quality of Gryffindors is unparalleled courage. Even if you know the danger, but for the persistence and belief in your heart, you can still stick to it , The courage to still be able to face difficulties. To achieve one's goals by any means, that's what Slytherin does."
Hearing his words, Harry, Ron, and Hermione all looked very excited.
Especially Harry, with an eager look flashing across his face, as if he could not wait to find the acromantula immediately and have a fight.
Although he didn't quite agree with what Sirius said, Ivan still had to admire it.
He can go through fire and water, even death, for his friends. This is what makes Sirius worthy of respect. (To be continued.)
