257 Bad student, secret room, happy
As an Acromantula with a cruel nature, Aragog suppressed his instinct very well and never harmed anyone personally.
But this does not mean that it will value the lives of wizards.
Because it is cruel by nature.
That's why it had no scruples in letting its children eat little Harry and Ron. And after its death, its children became even more unscrupulous. Even Hagrid didn't listen to him, and even Participated in the Battle of Hogwarts and actively made enemies of all teachers and students in the school.
But now these are no longer a problem.
Because the error was corrected.
As the corrector, Karan was lying on the hospital bed. There was nothing strange on his face, only deep curiosity.
"What's going on?" he asked. "And why did you suddenly mention Aragog? Was it because of it that you were expelled?"
"That's why." Hagrid frowned and his eyes became a little evasive.
"But it's not Aragog's fault!" he said angrily.
Karan slapped Hagrid's arm twice more at the right time.
"Of course I believe you, Hagrid." His tone was extremely sincere.
"But why did Aragog appear in the Forbidden Forest?"
Hagrid looked at Karan gratefully. Finally, he whispered hesitantly: "That's because Aragog was discovered by others."
"Discovered by a very bad, well-hidden student."
Karan seemed taken aback.
"This is not good!" he exclaimed.
But Karan didn't ask who this person was, he just continued: "Then what? How did Aragog get connected with your expulsion?"
"Because Hogwarts was not very peaceful at that time." Hagrid said with some confusion: "Some students were injured inexplicably in the school. Until now, we still don't know who did it."
"Could it be the bad student you mentioned?" Karan suddenly asked.
Hagrid was stunned for a moment.
"It's very possible..." he murmured.
"That bad student was watched closely by Principal Dumbledore at that time. If it was really him who did these things, then there would be enough reason to report me..."
Karan nodded silently.
"To get rid of suspicion as soon as possible." He said thoughtfully.
Before Myrtle was killed, the snake descendants led by Voldemort had caused many incidents of intentionally harming students at Hogwarts. However, they had always done so very covertly, which prevented anyone from finding out who the real murderer was. .
Except for Albus Dumbledore - because he has always been wary and wary of Tom Riddle.
But in Hagrid's words, he seemed to have known about Dumbledore's wariness of Riddle very early on.
But in fact, the original Dumbledore only really paid attention to Riddle after Myrtle was killed, thus strengthening his surveillance on him, which also gave him no chance to open the Chamber of Secrets and create the first Horcrux— -journal.
So did Dumbledore's surveillance of Riddle begin very early on?So obvious that even Hagrid could see it?
This made Riddle have to clean up the relationship as soon as possible and get rid of Dumbledore's suspicion before killing Myrtle?
Callan frowned slightly, but Hagrid suddenly became very excited.
"I knew it!"
He shouted loudly: "I knew Aragog was not a murderer at all! It has nothing to do with the Chamber of Secrets!"
"This was all framed by...that bad guy!"
He seemed to be avoiding saying the other person's name, whether it was because of Karan's presence or because of inner fear.
Karan looked confused.
"The secret room?" he asked, "What does this matter have to do with the secret room?"
Hagrid immediately covered his mouth, as if he didn't want to recall what happened at that time.
But Karan did not miss this opportunity. He immediately said loudly: "Come on, Hagrid! I am a Muggle-born and the target of the heir. If you know something, you should tell me quickly. Don't you Do you want to see me hospitalized again? Like Mrs. Norris?"
"Hey!" Hagrid suddenly shouted, and he immediately covered Karan's mouth, accidentally covering Karan's entire head.
"Oh, I'm sorry," he quickly took his palm back, but still said angrily: "Don't say that! You should be more careful! Everyone has seen the words on the wall..."
"But if the secret room really exists, how could I possibly hide there?" Karan interrupted Hagrid's words unceremoniously.
"After all, I'm just a Muggle-born Hufflepuff, and I can't change my bloodline."
Hagrid frowned: "Then you shouldn't..."
But Callan once again interrupted Hagrid.
"Unless the secret room doesn't exist!" he said suddenly.
Hagrid blinked blankly.
Karan continued: "If the secret room does not exist, then I naturally don't have to worry about this kind of thing anymore."
"So - tell me - Hagrid."
Karan stared directly at Hagrid's beetle-like eyes.
"Is there really a secret room?"
"Is there really an heir?"
Hagrid opened his mouth at a loss, and finally sighed helplessly: "That's just a rumor - all I know is just a rumor."
"After all, no one has seen it with their own eyes."
"But you should still be careful, whether that's there or not."
"Of course, I will be careful." Karan nodded obediently, and then continued to ask: "But when did this rumor appear? When you were in school?"
"It was much earlier than that." Hagrid said: "It just started to stir up for a while at that time. After all, no one knew how those students were harmed, so some people suspected the secret room."
When he said this, his eyes suddenly became suspicious.
"I remember Lily and that... Slytherin guy also asked me about this today."
"Could it be that they asked you to ask?"
Karan's head shook like a rattle.
"Of course not." He said: "The only thing I'm really curious about is Aragog. You told me about the secret room yourself."
Hagrid's eyes became more confused.
"Is that so?" he asked.
Karan did not answer, but urged: "Tell us about Aragog again. How did it appear in the Forbidden Forest after you were expelled?"
Hagrid's attention was indeed diverted.
"This is all the help of Principal Dumbledore." He said with a nostalgic tone: "The principal did not really drive me away, but gave me a job at Hogwarts, which also allowed me to work in Hogwarts. Aragog continues to be raised in the Forbidden Forest - of course, I brought him in quietly, and I also found him a wife."
"You must have seen them, right?"
Hagrid no longer doubted Callan's love for magical animals.
"I have indeed seen them." Karan smacked his mouth twice: "What a big family."
Hagrid chuckled.
"It's a pity we can no longer see them."
He smiled and then became sad again.
"I didn't even have time to say goodbye. I miss them so much."
When he said this, Hagrid suddenly paused. Then he shook his head and said with some regret: "Except for the year when I was expelled - at that time I should have spent more time on it. ——The sudden change of environment made Aragog very uncomfortable, and it took him a long time to find a comfortable place to live in the Forbidden Forest."
"What's wrong?" Karan asked casually: "Is it because you were not familiar with the work of the school at the beginning?"
"No." Hagrid chuckled and said, "There is no job I like more than this. I have secretly entered the Forbidden Forest a long time ago and am very familiar with it."
"The main problem is that bad student!" When he said this, he became a little angry again.
Voldemort?
Karan's attention was immediately drawn and he asked, "What happened to that bad student?"
Hagrid frowned.
"Not everyone knew that he was a bad student - in fact, many people still don't know about it to this day."
"This includes the then principal - Armando Dippet, who approved the bad student's application to stay in school during the summer vacation - only once, and fortunately only once, otherwise I would not be able to keep an eye on him at all times. I could always see him walking around the castle, and even wanted to take a look in the Forbidden Forest - I stopped him many times, after all, I couldn't let him find out that Aragog was there. Inside the Forbidden Forest..."
"Hey!"
Hagrid waved his palm in front of Karan's eyes and asked in shock: "What's wrong with you? Are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Do you need me to call Madam Pomfrey?"
Karan slowly came to his senses.
"No need," he said softly.
Five minutes was already much longer. Madam Pomfrey deliberately walked back and forth to the door of the ward several times, as if she wanted to see if Hagrid had finished crying.
"I wonder how Aragog is doing now?"
Before leaving, Hagrid whispered one last worried word.
A gentle smile had returned to Karan's face.
"I'm sure he'll be happy."
he grinned.
"It's like I'm happy."
