"my children do not harm hagrid on my orders, but i cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our hollow", the spider rasps. I suppose deep down i always knew id be eaten alive by giant spiders. but suddenly theres a thwack and the spider holding me drops me and screams then bursts into golden dust. a second thwack and the spider holding harry explodes too. Now the spiders are scrambling as arrows fly out of the tree line. Suddenly an engine roars and a blue blur bursts into the claearing. ITS THE FORD ANGLA! the doors fly open and we jump in. the car drives off towars the arrows. it doesnt even stop this time but the back door swings open and a black blur rolls in. "Hey" Nico says.

When the car drops us back at hagrids hut it takes off back into the forrest. I keel over and vomit all over the grass. Harry and i look up at nico. Hes casually brushing off his bomber jacket as though he was barely interested in what had just happened. He sticks his black bow in his quiver which melts into nothingnes. "Did yoiu guys learn anything from the spiders?" He asks. We gape at him. He frowns. "is there something on my face?" Harry and i exchange a glance. "How did you get away from the spiders? I ask incredulously. Nico rolls his eyes. "they just invented this great new thing called situational awareness. you should try it sometime. Now what did the spiders say?" "Hagrid never opened the chamber." Harry explains. "which means we are right back to square one" i add.

"wait!" Harry exclaims making me jump. "What?" Nico asks. Harry is thinking hard. he turns to nico "Moaning Myrtle, How did she die?" He asks. nico looks affronted. as though hes just been accused of something unseemly. Nico crosses his arms and scowls. "ive never asked." Harry rolls his eyes. "No, I didn't mean whatever the hell it is your on about. Aragog said that 50 years ago a girl died in a bathroom." Understanding dawns on nicos face. "What?" I ask annoyed that once again im the last one to understand. Harry looks me in the eyes. "So, what if she never left?"
