Coming Back

Chapter Twenty Three

I was almost ready to leave Hagrid's when I noticed spiders climbing up his wall and out the window.

"Look!" Harry screamed. He pointed tat the spiders. I cowardly hid behind Ron. He was scared enough.

"Remember what Hagrid said? Follow the spiders," I mumbled, "come on."

Harry grabbed a lamp as Ron and I trailed behind fallowed by Fang.

"T-They're headed for the Dark Forest!" Ron screeched.

Puberty! Harry ignored him and headed to the forest I followed behind. I got behind Harry as I could hear Ron slowly breathing.

"Why follow the spiders why not follow the butterflies?" He asked to himself as I sighed.

I got on Ron's back when were in dark in the forest. It was very dark, I remember the last time I was here last year when Harry and I got chased by Voldemort.

"Harry, it's dark out here, why not come back tomorrow when it's light?" I asked.

"No! We have to, Hagrid told us!" he said," I thought I'd never see the day when Nova Potter was scared."

"Me?" I said, "I'm not scared!" I jumped off Ron's back and looked over at Harry, "I mean we did encounter Voldemort the last time we were out here."

"How much longer Harry?" Ron asked.

"I-I dunno, I guess till the spiders stop," Harry said as I groaned. It was starting to get real cold out I looked at the boys.

"Did we bring any robes?" I asked. They shook their heads.

"Harry, I don't like this at all," Ron squeaked.

"Shush!" I said. the spiders were now crowing over a big tree stump. I looked up to see 8 furry legs? Wasn't long till the legs dropped me and I fell on my butt hard on the grassy floor. I got up hearing Ron wanting to scream.

"Aragog!" Something behind me screamed, "Aragog!" It chanted. I looked around. Harry's lamp was now broken.

"Lumos!" I whispered bringing my wand out. I walked around to see spiders all around me. I gasped and fell back into Harry.

"What is it?" a voice whispered. Probably another spider.

"It's two little men and a little girl," I heard the first voice say.

"Hey, I'm no little girl!" I screamed.

"Are any of them Hagrid?"A huge spider asked. It's probably Aragog.

"Strangers," I heard a voice go.

"Kill them!" The spider ranted. I felt Ron grab a hold of me trying to hug me.

"Let. Go." I sad getting out of his grip. "We're friends of Hagrid's!" I screamed.

"Hagrid has never sent any friends," Aragog hissed.

"Hagrid's in trouble," Harry said, "that's why we came."

"Hagrid, in trouble?" He asked his pinchers were making lots of noise, "but why has he sent you?"

"They think he opened the Chamber of Secrets!" I said as I looked at him.

"That's a lie!" he hissed, "Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets!"

"T-Then your not the monster," Harry said.

"No foolish little boy!" Aragog said.

"The monster was born in the castle," he said, "I came to Hagrid from a distant land in the pocket of a traveler." I could hear Ron starting to get more scared I looked at the spider examining the pictures and the legs.
