The Twins Who Lived

Aragog

Dahlia and Blaise walked down the dirt path, Noir and Onyx lighting their way with puffs of fire "remind me again, why are we doing this while Harry and Ron ask Hagrid? " Blaise asked curiously, he kept a watchful eye, the forest was home to many dangerous creatures and he had no plan of letting Dahlia get hurt. "in case hagrid doesn't tell them, or if something goes wrong and they get caught. Beside the forest looks beautiful at night" she said, smiling softly as they continued walking, he smiled at her softly, she looked beautiful in the Moon's glow.

Dahlia smiled up at her husband "I want someone to look at me like that" Mary said wistfully, Dahlia and Blaise's relationship was what fairy tales were made of, Peter looked over at Mary, his cheeks tinting pink as he looked at his long time crush.

The pair walked further, stopping in front of a burrow, spiders and their webs scattered around "I think we've found their nest" Dahlia said, her eyes alight with excitement at getting to see more spiders. "Easy there Flower, they might not be friendly" Blaise warned, he knew that look well, "but... Their adorable" she said with a pout, Blaise opened his mouth, likely to make a retort or response of some kind when they heard Ron and Harry's voices. "Harry, I don't like this. Harry, I don't like this at all." Ron said terrified, his face was ashen white, "Shush!"harry said

" sorry mate" harry said with a wince, looking back he had been kind of a jerk for dismissing Ron's fear like that, "it's fine, we're even now" Ron said with a smirk

"Everyone ready?" Dahlia asked, Ron gulped before nodding, they entered the burrow, following it into a massive clearing, bigger spiders scattered around, some even the size of them. "Who is it?" Aragog asked in a raspy voice, "We're friends of Hagrid's." Dahlia said calmly, Aragog slowly emerged from a burrow,their eyes looked up as they looked at the 18 foot spider, Blaise, Harry and Ron paled, instinctively taking a step back while Dahlia looked up in awe of the magnificent spider.

Screams rang out through the hall, some students even fainted from freight, "that is in the forest!" The current minister demanded, his own face pale, "Aragog wouldn't hurt anyone" Hagrid protested, "Hagrid...... They can't stay.... However you won't kill them either" Dahlia said, standing up "then what do you propose we do" The minister demanded, "you'll see, I want hagrid to see why they can't stay" Dahlia explained calmly.

"And you... you're... you're Aragog, aren't you?" Harry stuttered, "Yes. Hagrid has never sent children into our hollow before." Aragog observed, "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 explained, Dahlia looked at her brother, fury in her eyes at the prospect of her friend in trouble. "That's a lie! Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets." Aragog said, his pinchers clicking furiously, "we know that, we just need to know if you know anything about what happened, we already know what the monster is" Dahlia explained. "Guys..." Ron whispered, tugging on Harry's sleeve, his eyes tracking the movements of the Spiders, Blaise looked around his eyes widening " Shush." Harry whispered. "I never saw any part of the castle but the box in which Hagrid kept me.The girl was discovered in a bathroom." Aragog explained, "Myrtle" Dahlia whispered in realization.  "Guys..." Ron tried again, "What?" Harry demanded, Ron whimpered and pointed up, thousands of spiders, all shapes and sizes began crawling down from various spots.

The parents of the kids paled, their hearts plummetting as they saw the danger that surrounded them

"Well... thank you. We'll just... go." Harry stuttered, "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 midst.  Goodbye, friend of Hagrid." Aragog said, going back into his burrow. Dahlia gripped blaise's hand tightly, looking around fearfully

Hagrid looked at the screen with betrayal, unable to believe that his friend would let them be hurt, "it's ok hagrid, we're not mad at you" Dahlia said, knowing their giant friend will be racked with guilt

Noir and Onyx began circling around the four of them, shooting fire at the lunging spiders, the sound of a car engine is heard, the four look over, just in time to see the Ford Anglia appear in the nest, stopping in front of them and opening it's doors. "Let's go!" Harry yelled, Onyx and noir providing cover as the four rushed into the car, Blaise and Dahlia in the back with Ron and Harry in the front, "Go!" Dahlia demanded, Onyx and Noir creating a fiery barrier that prevented the spiders from leaving the nest as Ron slammed on the accelerator, the car jerking to life and speeding out of the nest, Ron yanked on the flying gear and the car flew over the trees, taking them far from the nest and back to the safety of the Hogwart's lawns.

"See, it's a good thing papa bear created that car" Dahlia said, smiling slightly

Blaise helped Dahlia out of the car, she still had a firm grip on his arm, ""Follow the spiders". "Follow the spiders"! If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him." Ron said furiously, "speaking of hagrid, Blaise, isn't your uncle a solicitor? " Dahlia asked "yes, why?" Blaise asked curiously, "we have proof that he isn't responsible, I doubt he had ever been given a fair trial to begin with, I want his name cleared" Dahlia explained, Blaise nodded, "alright flower" he agreed. "Well, now we know who to ask next, maybe she'll know how the snake appears" Harry explained, "as for the spiders.... We can't let them be killed, it would hurt hagrid, what if instead, we use an island and put all of them there? " Dahlia suggested as they made their way back to the castle.
