Harry Potter: Explorer Chronicles

Chapter 4: Acromantulas and Lily's Anger

I still do not own Harry Potter

This won't be VERY fast paced, I want him to go on a bunch of unrelated quests, not just skip to the year where he has to deal with his parents. Harry is paired with a OC, not a canon character, so don't bother trying to guess or make pairing suggestions, the person he is paired with is a Hogwarts student, but I plan for them to meet earlier. Chapter takes place a few years later after the last, Harry is now ten going on eleven, will get to the adventure part now. Also I am not skipping any more years, they will now be in between months or even weeks.

Chapter 4: Acromantulas and Lily's Anger

Nearly five years later...

The last few years had been very good for Harry, he spent the last five years learning all about magic and its different uses in the wizarding world. He mastered Charms, Defense, Transfiguration, and Potions, he really didn't need a teacher, all he needed were the needed books and supplies, he could do the rest. Harry could read and memorize books extremely fast, so he went through books like toothpicks, fortunately Harry could do all his magic without a wand and was even able to make his own spells, Harry would soon be eleven, which for normal wizards would mean getting accepted to school and going to learn magic. For him it meant going on adventures all over the world to fine tune his skills and learn more practical things. He had received a letter to HOGWARTS SCHOOL of WITCHCRAFT and WIZARDRY today, but had just replied he would not be attending, attendance was not mandatory and Harry knew everything they could possibly teach him, so he saw no point in going.

Daxter knew information about the wizarding world that was not in any book. Harry and Daxter had become very close friends over the years, Daxter was a talkative and lazy Ottesel, which is a mixture of a otter and a weasel, he could not do magic himself, but could explain things better for Harry, even if he couldn't do the magic himself he knew plenty about it.

Harry was currently trying to invent a form of battle vest which could absorb spells, he had spent the last few years practicing dodging spells, he had made a large room into a training area, he turned the four walls into giant mirrors and fired spells at them, they would rebound all over the place and he would have to avoid them. He was really good at it, but he wanted to make a way so if he was hit by a spell he would not be knocked out, so he was making a vest that could absorb spells aimed at the chest.

His vest was not the first time someone tried to make a armor that could protect a wizard from spell fire. Battle robes have been used by wizards for centuries, their mostly used by pureblood families, they are mostly made from fur and hair from exotic animals. They did their jobs, the problem was that they were very rare, expensive, took YEARS to make, and offered limited maneuverability to the wearer. The vest Harry was making didn't require rare animal hair, took very little time to make, and used cheap materials that could be bought in any store, except for one material, which needed to be found and while not rare, it was dangerous to get, Harry still needed to get this one component before the vest would be complete.

Silk woven by Acromantula, ordinary spider silk is as strong as steel, Acromantula silk is as strong as titanium and could absorb spell fire, the problem was that Acromantulas are extremely dangerous and their silk can only be found near their nests, it's not sold in stores, if they wanted silk they would need to get it themselves. The nearest nest was in the Hogwart's Forbidden Forest, which was easy to access, all they needed to do was enter the forest, get the silk, and get out before they were eaten.

"Harry are you sure we sure do this?" asked Daxter , who was very scared

"Oh come on Daxter, you're not afraid of a few overgrown spiders, are you?" asked Harry
