Worlds Collide

Chapter Sixteen

ROSELLA’S P.O.V
After the four of them left, we removed the Cloak from us before Ron spoke up, “Hagrd’s right, with Dumbledore gone there will be an attack a day.” he said to us, “then what do we do? Do you really think we should do what he says?” I asked him, “Look.” Harry said to us before we looked in the direction he was looking in and saw small spiders making their way through the window, “Come on.” Harry said to us before he walked over to the door and grabbed a lamp, “come on Fang.” I said to the dog before he got out of the chair and followed us out of the house and saw the spiders on the other side, “come one.” Harry said to us, “what?” Ron questioned, “you heard what Hagrid said, follow the spiders.” Harry mentioned, “their heading into the Dark Forest.” Ron said, “Are you sure we should be doing this?” I asked him but he didn't say anything and continued walking and I sighed a little, “why spiders. Why couldn’t it be follow the butterflies?” Ron said, “Do you have a fear of spiders or something?” I asked him, “yes I do.” He said to me as we continued to walk and made our way through the Forest as we continued to follow the spiders. After a while had passed, we continued to follow the spiders like Hagrid said, hoping that it would take us somewhere before Ron spoke up, “Harry, Rosella, I don’t like this. I don’t like this at all.” he said to us, “at this point, I don’t think we have much of a choice anymore.” I said to him knowing Harry would want to keep going before we stopped in front of a tunnel, “are you sure we should go through that?” I questioned Harry, “we have to.” he said to me, “can we go back now?” Ron asked us, “Come on.” Harry said and I sighed a little, “let’s just get this over with alright Ron. just relax alright.” I said to him and the both of us followed Harry through the tunnel before we made it to an opening at the other end of the tunnel before we stopped walking before we began to hear something before it spoke up, “who is it? Hagrid, is that you?” the voice asked us, “we’re friends of Hagrid’s.” Harry told it before a large spider crawled up the short hill and I froze a little before Harry spoke up, “you’re Aragog aren’t you?” Harry managed to ask, “yes. Hagrd has never sent men and women into our Hollow before.” Aragog said, “and there’s a reason for it.” I said to him, “he’s in trouble. Up at the school, there have been attacks. They think it’s Hagrid. They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets like before.” Harry told him, “that’s a lie. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets” Aragog said, “then you’re not the Monster?” Harry asked, “no. The Monster was born in the Castle. I came to Hagrid from a distant land in the pocket of a traveler.” Aragog said, “then if you’re not the Monster then what did kill that girl Fifty Years ago?” Harry asked, “we do not speak of it. It is an ancient creature we spiders fear above all others.” Aragog said, “but have you seen it?” Harry asked, “I never saw any part of the Castle but the box which Hagrid kept me in. The girl was discovered in the bathroom, when I was accused Hagrid brought me here.” Aragog said before Ron got our attention, “what?” The both of us said to Ron before he pointed up and we looked to see what he was pointed at only to see multiple spiders hanging from above the three of us before Harry spoke up, “well, thank you. We’ll just go.” he said to Aragog, “go? I think not. My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid on my command but I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our Mits. Goodbye friend of Hagrid.” Aragog said to us, “Can we panic now?” Ron asked us as the Spiders continued to surround the three of us and I began to wonder whether or not I should risk revealing my secret before Harry hit one of the spiders, “know any spells?” Ron asked, “one but it’s not powerful enough for all of them.” Harry said, “I have an Idea.” I said to them, “anything will be good right now.” Harry said and I grabbed onto Fang before holding out my hand, “grab my hand.” I said to them and both of them had done so, “what are we doing?” Harry asked, “I’ll explain later, just hold on tight.” I said to him and I picked Fang up before making sure they were holding onto me before I sped out of Aragog's den.
