Encountering a Sneak Attack

Before leaving, Albert glanced back at the jungle behind him and said to Hagrid, "Centaurs probably has no difference between wizards and Muggle. Those guys are more willing to be outsiders and complete bystanders."

Hagrid, who was walking in front, suddenly stopped, glanced at Albert, then looked around and said, "Centaurs is really difficult to get along with. I stayed in Hogwarts for many years before I learned to deal with them."

"I looked through Centaurs's documents in the library. They are very proficient in magic healing, Divination, archery and Astronomy."

Since Albert has dealt with Centaurs, he has also spent some time looking up Centaurs's information. These guys would rather be regarded as beasts by Ministry of Magic than deal with wizards.

In Ministry of Magic, there is a joke that "being sent to Centaur Liaison Office" means that this person will be fired immediately, because no Centaurs has ever used Centaur Liaison Office, and they do not welcome people from Ministry of Magic.

"Don't mess with Centaurs at will. They are usually very arrogant." Hagrid reminded worriedly. He knew that Albert and Centaurs did not get along happily.

"I usually don't take the initiative to provoke others." Albert shook his head, followed Hagrid, and walked in the direction Ronan pointed.

However, luck was not on their side.

The two of them had been searching for Forbidden Forest for a long time, but still found no trace of Fluffy. It seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

This is not a good sign.

"Go back, Hagrid." Albert looked at Hagrid's back and suggested, "We need to change our approach."

"I'm going to meet Aragog." Hagrid hesitated and said, "Maybe Aragog will know the whereabouts of Fluffy."

"Who is Aragog?" Albert asked curiously. He thought it might be the name of Acromantula. In the sixth part, Hagrid buried a Acromantula.

"Aragog was raised by me before..." Hagrid hesitated for a moment, but told Albert, "A Acromantula."

"Is it really Acromantula? I won't go with you. What happened last year didn't have a good relationship with those big spiders, so be careful." Albert is not opposed to Hagrid going to his Aragog Acromantula, but he won't go.

Only a fool would do this if he still tries his best to get forward despite knowing that he is in danger.

"Don't worry, they won't hurt you as long as I'm here." Hagrid assured, patting his chest hard.

"You probably don't know that last year, in order to save George and Fred who were surrounded by Acromantula, I killed several Acromantula and put down hundreds of them." Albert After looking at Hagrid, his expression suddenly became weird, "Of course I believe you will try your best to protect my safety, but I don't believe Acromantula. They are cruel by nature and like to eat human flesh. I believe those big guys won't mind if I throw myself into a trap."

"As long as I'm here, Aragog's community won't hurt you." Hagrid was stunned for a moment and said with certainty.

"Aragog may not, but other Acromantula will. Only the powerful Dark wizard can use power to command those big spiders." It's not that Albert doesn't believe what Hagrid said, but he doesn't believe in Hagrid's judgment.

"I'm going back." He turned around to find a place Apparition and returned directly to the Forbidden Forest peripheral area of Hogwarts.

"Wait, I'll send you off..." Hagrid can't worry about Albert going back by himself. The other party is kind enough to help him find Fluffy. He also needs to be responsible for Albert's safety.

At this moment, there was a sudden rustling sound all around, as if something was moving quickly this way.

"Be careful, come to me quickly!" Hagrid raised his bow and aimed in the direction of the sound.

Albert The moment the sound rang out, he was already extremely vigilant, waving his wand and preparing to use defensive magic to protect himself.

However, it was already too late.

A black shadow shot out of the forest like an arrow and pounced on Albert.

"Be careful." Hagrid was frightened and angry. He shot an arrow at the black shadow, but the black shadow easily dodged it. Seeing that the black shadow was about to pounce on Albert, he saw Albert muttering something unknown and raised his left hand to push something forward.

Bang! A dull sound sounded in Forbidden Forest.

The black shadow that attacked Albert at high speed slammed into an invisible magic shield, just like a galloping bull hitting a thick city wall. The result is self-evident.

The black shadow was directly ejected by the force of the earthquake, and fell heavily to the ground, unable to get up again.

"Confringo!" Albert waved his wand and directly hit the attacker with the most lethal magic he currently has. An orange magic focused on the black shadow and directly made it Reducto.

The attacker's body was splashed everywhere in the explosion. Albert had to step back, looked at the spider leg that fell at his feet, and murmured, "Unfortunately, the reaction was a bit too much."

Acromantula's body was almost blown to pieces and had no value anymore.

Seeing a lot of gold coins slipping away from his fingers, Albert was a little helpless because of his overreaction just now.

The change just now made Hagrid's emotions go up and down violently like a roller coaster. He was originally angry that something was preparing to sneak attack Albert, but unexpectedly, Albert killed the opponent in the blink of an eye.

"Are you okay?" Hagrid immediately stepped forward to check Albert's condition.

"It's okay." Albert comforted, since I dare to enter Forbidden Forest with you, I naturally have a way to protect myself.

Hagrid showed an ugly smile and looked up at the black figure that attacked Albert. His expression became more complicated. Although the body was blown to pieces by Exploding Charm, Hagrid could still identify the attacker.

One Acromantula.

After seeing Acromantula's body, Hagrid's face instantly turned ugly. He had just slapped his chest and assured Albert that he would definitely protect his safety. As a result...

"It's not your fault." Albert comforted, "I'm going back first."

"No, I'll take you back." Hagrid quickly followed. If something like this happened, he wouldn't dare to let Albert go back by himself.

"Don't worry, we will find Fluffy." Albert comforted casually. After all, Philosopher's Stone's protection will use it.

"However, I still think it's best for you to take the initiative to confess this matter to Professor Dumbledore yourself." Albert said, "The principal will not blame you."

Hagrid fell silent again, he hesitated.

"Think carefully. It's best to find Fluffy before it causes you trouble."

On the way back to Hogwarts, the two of them encountered no more attacks and returned to Hagrid's Hut smoothly. Before Albert and Hagrid separated, they agreed to meet in the afternoon.
