Harry Potter x Reader - More Than Best Friends (Second Year)

Aragog the Acromantula

Here it is!!! Spiders mwahahahaha *secretly dying on the inside* OKAY! And sorry Newt Scamander needs to be mentioned at some point... Right. Uh. Here's a long chapter for you! ~Maddie

.......... Reader's Point of View ..........

   "How do ya know abou' tha'?" he asked suspiciously.

   "... We have our reasons." I said.

   Harry nudged me, "(y/n), that sounds kind of creepy-"

   "SHH, hold my biscuit." 

   "What?" Harry asked me incredulously, but took it anyway (and I think he ate it... Harry why?!).

   I walked up to Hagrid, "This book thing told us that you opened the Chamber of Secrets a long time ago, and-"

   "Hold on, what? I never opened any Chamber o' Secrets. I was jus' expelled because... Newt Scamander is my idol," Hagrid's eyes widened and he coughed, "No, it's because... Creatures. Everywhere. Student got me my wan' broken and then I had to put it- I wasn' supposed to say that either, damn it-"

   "Newt Scamander?"

   "Who?"

   Hagrid gasped, "You all don' know how tha' is?!"

   "... Are we behind a century?" Ron asked.

   "Probably." Harry shrugged.

   "Wait, who is he though?" I asked (a/n - I'm offending myself by doing this keep that in mind).

   Hagrid immediately rose from his seat and literally tripped on the table in his haste to get to... somewhere in his house. I don't know; everything is such a mess (no offence though). He came back with a textbook? Hang on, it looks familiar... Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them?

   "You lot need to be educated on this man, I mean really..." Hagrid sighed and whispered, "Hermione would understand..."

   "Hermione writes fanfiction about Newt Scamander?" I asked and he sputtered.

   "Don' tell 'er that."

   "Okay what- No! We're getting off topic-" I realised, but Ron cut me off.

   "Hermione writes fanfiction of who?!" Ron scrambled over and was about to take the book from Hagrid when the door knocked. I dropped my teacup. Hagrid motioned for us to put the Invisibility Cloak on (with some weird hand gestures) and we quickly grabbed some biscuits and tea while we were at it. After we were under the cloak, Hagrid immediately opened the door, but only to see some old man next to Dumbledore. Huh.

   "Oh, Headmaster," Hagrid said, lowering his crossbow, "Come in." 

   Ron stiffened, "That's dad's boss, Cornelius Fudge! What's he doing here?" 

   Harry dipped a biscuit in the tea and quickly munched on it. He shrugged. 

   "Bad business Hagrid, very bad business..." Fudge muttered, "I had to come, three attacks on Muggle-borns and the Ministry's got to act." 

   Hagrid made a confused sound (more like a low grumble), "But I never- You know I never, Professor!" 

   Dumbledore quickly turned to Fudge, "I want it understood, Cornelius, that Hagrid has my full confidence."

   "Look," Fudge said with an exasperated look, "Hagrid's record is against him. I've got to take him." 

   I took a biscuit and a sip of tea. Harry nudged me slightly and I gave him a confused expression and he just muttered, "I want some too..."
