Chapter 280: The Action Begins

Through the misty, hemispherical spider web, Ivan looked into Aragog's lair.

The cave that descends slowly is dark and narrow, with no bottom, and warm wind blows up from below.

There seemed to be something below, and Ivan hesitated whether to go down.

In the slow wind, he could hear a deep voice calling himself, calling his name in a low voice...

Before he could make a decision, the temperature of the wind blowing up from the cave suddenly dropped, and it became colder and colder.

Ai Wen shivered, and he felt a gust of cold wind on the back of his neck.

The next second, he woke up suddenly and sat up from the bed. Ivan saw the teasing Peeves floating beside him, blowing hard into his ears.

"What are you doing?!" he asked angrily.

"You nasty Ivan kid!" Peeves puffed up his cheeks and blew even more vigorously.

Then, before Ivan raised his wand, he spun out of the room, giggling.

Ai Wen looked at the alarm clock, it was only half past four, and it was pitch black outside.

Now that he was awake, it was difficult to fall asleep again. He sat on the bed for a while, thinking about the dream just now and what was in Aragog's lair.

Considering that Aragog is far beyond the size of an ordinary acromantula, and the inside of its unusual lair is not as simple as it seems, there must be something...

Aiwen is considering whether to go in and investigate, but he is not sure if there is any danger inside, and if he really wants to do this, he has to find a way to solve Aragog.

As a purely dark creature, the acromantula's lair must be the darkest and most evil place in the Forbidden Forest. Even if there are any treasures in it, it must be related to black magic. Aiwen can be sure that he will never be happy to see that kind of thing.

Risking your life to obtain a dark magic item that is destined to be useless, or even impossible to get out, is not worth the candle...

What's more, the whisper of the unknown creature in the wind also made Ivan feel unknown.

He tossed and turned on the bed, and finally decided to give up the idea of ​​going inside the lair to find out. He should now focus on the key to the secret treasure of Gryffindor treasured by the centaur tribe, instead of getting in touch with other dark magic items.

He rolled over, trying to go back to sleep.

But now that he has woken up, it is very difficult to continue to sleep. He struggled for more than ten minutes and got up from the bed again.

Ivan tapped the head of the bed with his wand, and a wooden board quietly opened, revealing a dark cabinet.

He took out a book of black magic from inside, and read it by the dim light of his wand.

Faint fluorescence came from the curtains, and in the dark bedroom, there was only a boy leaning on the bedside, concentrating on reading a book...

Due to the carnival last night, the Gryffindor tower was quiet the next morning, and it was not until around noon that everyone came out of the bedroom one after another.

Aiwen followed Colin through the foyer, and when he was walking towards the auditorium, he suddenly saw a small group of people gathered around the bulletin board outside the auditorium gate, reading a piece of parchment that had just been nailed. Some are Hufflepuff students.

Justin Fenrieri looked very excited, and he walked towards Ivan with a smile.

After the basilisk incident last year, he was no longer as afraid of Harry and Ivan as before.

"That's great, Ivan!" Justin said happily, "I'm the only one in this matter. I've thought about it carefully. Although it's dangerous to fight those monsters, there shouldn't be any problem with the professor around. .Moreover, if you can accumulate more combat experience, it may come in handy one day..."

"What are you talking about? Why can't I understand?" Colin asked in confusion.

He let out a breath, looking dazed.

"Professor Black is gathering people to fight the acromantula in the Forbidden Forest." Justin pointed to the bulletin board and said, "There are also the names of Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione on it. Four are also callers."

"Are you planning to fight those monsters in the Forbidden Forest? Why didn't you notify me earlier?" Colin said excitedly, and read the notice with great interest.

Ivan leaned over and looked at the notice written by Sirius.

The above first introduced in detail the situation of dark creatures such as giant spiders and their current situation in the Forbidden Forest. Then, with the purpose of improving the little wizard's combat experience and fighting skills, volunteers were called to encircle and suppress them.

At the end of the notice, it is also specially marked that everyone can collect the eyes of the giant spider and hand them to Ivan, and they will get a certain amount of Galleons as a reward.

This news spread rapidly in the school, and it didn't take long for almost all the little wizards to know about it. Not surprisingly, everyone was very excited.

All of a sudden, the acromantula became a hot topic.

No one was discussing the just-concluded Quidditch match and the upcoming Quidditch final, but everything related to the acromantula. All the books on this subject in the library have been lent out, and the latest applications have been queued until the end of this school year. No matter where you go, you can hear people talking about acromantula.

As for the students of Gryffindor College, Ivan, Harry, Ron, and Hermione were directly surrounded for questioning.

Seeing their excited appearance, Ivan doubted that these guys didn't know what an acromant was. They completely underestimated the danger of this dark creature, as if they thought that an acromant was just an ordinary spider.

The enthusiasm continued, and the number of applicants in the end far exceeded expectations. Even the students of Slytherin House, which had always opposed Sirius, all signed up.

By the end, even Dumbledore was alarmed. Facing the unprecedented enthusiasm of the little wizards, Dumbledore did not stop this matter, but designed safer protection measures based on Sirius' original plan.

Now, not just Sirius, almost all professors will participate in the encirclement and suppression of the Acantaraman throughout the entire process to protect the safety of the students.

The action time is scheduled at noon every day, when the Acrysophus is weakest, and the scope is strictly demarcated, and no one is allowed to enter the deeper forbidden forest at will.

Due to the large number of people, the encirclement and suppression of the acromantula will be divided into four colleges, and they will fight these monsters under the protection of the professor.

Malfoy was furious at this decision.

He seems to be planning to use this opportunity to take revenge on Ivan and Harry for what made him lose face before.

In fact, Harry was also very upset. He still remembered that Malfoy pretended to be a dementor to scare him, and he originally planned to take this opportunity to take revenge.

However, neither of them has this opportunity now. (To be continued.)
