Hogwarts: I Obtained the Paternal System

"So, you're just not as smart as Darren!"

"Yes, that's right. After all these years, haven't you realized that yet?" Harry sighed.

But Hagrid still did not want to talk.

Then they heard something crying out behind Hagrid's Hut.

They wanted to go take a look, but Darren stopped them.

"Ahem, no rush..."

He seemed to want to tell Harry and the others something, but they simply could not understand him. Besides, Hagrid had already brought those things over.

Darren immediately covered his eyes.

He heard Hermione scream.

"What is this?!"

"They're Giant Grubs."

Hagrid poked at the maggots.

Harry and Ron nearly threw up.

They finally understood what Darren had meant just now.

He had been telling them not to look.

Looking at them was revolting.

"What... what are you raising these things for?"

Harry stared at them in horror.

He seemed worried that Darren's Care of Magical Creatures lessons would involve raising things like these.

"I'll have the first- and second-years raise them... Darren needs to come into the Forbidden Forest with me. We need to get to know all kinds of creatures.

"These Giant Grubs, I'm going to use them to feed those Acromantulas..."

As Hagrid spoke, he suddenly burst into loud sobs.

"Aragog was with me for many years, and then he died... I don't blame you. He deserved it. Later, I raised another Acromantula.

"I named it Aragog too, in remembrance. But now, this Aragog is going to die as well...

"I really can't accept it... I actually have to watch it die with my own eyes..." Harry and the others were completely at a loss.

They did not even know how to comfort him.

Because in their view, this Aragog should have been burned by Darren too. It should never have been left alive.
