Chapter 305 Poachers?
Lately, Hagrid has been walking around the Forbidden Forest a lot.
The three-headed dog Luwei was hidden by Dumbledore in a cave in the Forbidden Forest. Hagrid would bring him food every day and occasionally take Luwei out for a walk. This was one of Hagrid's happiest memories.
Luwei is growing very fast. His height has almost reached Hagrid’s elbow. He will be fully grown up this summer. At that time, Dumbledore will send him back to Greece.
Hagrid knew that his time with Lu Wei was running out, and he always cherished the last time they spent together.
Today, when Hagrid came back from the Forbidden Forest carrying an iron bucket, he found that several tree trunks in the forest had traces of being struck by a curse. He reached out and touched them, and immediately realized what had happened.
The Weasley brothers sneaked into the forest to practice spells again and looked at the distribution of spell traces around them. They also threw magic spells at each other in the forest.
“Those two little bastards, if I catch them again, I will definitely put them in confinement for a week.” Hagrid reached out and hammered the tree trunk and said angrily.
Fred and George kept saying "I know", but turned around and forgot about their words.
Hagrid did not want Hogwarts students to frequently enter the Forbidden Forest. On the one hand, the school did not allow students to enter the Forbidden Forest. On the other hand, he did not want rumors to spread about monsters in the Forbidden Forest.
We must kill chickens to scare monkeys, and we cannot set a precedent. If everyone likes to play in the forbidden forest for nothing, it would be a dereliction of duty on his part as a game manager.
In the past few days, Hagrid would pay special attention to the situation in the Forbidden Forest, trying to catch the Weasley twins on the spot, and even took Fang with him for this purpose, but he was sneaked away by the twins again and again.
Such a result really made Hagrid extremely depressed, and he doubted whether Albert was also involved.
The woods on the edge of the school were almost full of traces of magic. Every time he entered the woods, the other party would run faster than him. Hagrid couldn't help but wonder if he was being watched, but he didn't feel like he was being watched, and if If so, Yaya will also react.
What a strange thing!
Since then, Hagrid has stopped going into the woods to catch people. He always carries a pair of binoculars in his pocket and often wanders around the edge of the Forbidden Forest, trying to catch students coming out of the woods.
However, Hagrid soon discovered that the two **** could always find a gap to sneak away, and they seemed to have cast a disembodiment spell on themselves. They were too far away to find each other, which made Hagrid certain that Ai Bert also got involved.
Once, when Albert went to the hunting lodge to find Hagrid, he found that the other party was looking at him with resentful eyes.
Even the shameless Albert was a little overwhelmed.
"What's wrong?" Albert couldn't help but ask, "If you have something to say, just say it. I feel embarrassed that you look at me like this."
"Are you still embarrassed?" Hagrid snorted dissatisfiedly, "You ungrateful people...have you been running into the woods a lot lately? Humph, don't think I don't know that you have been helping those two little **** plan..."
“Ahem, we have been doing homework in school recently.” Albert coughed and explained casually: “You know, Easter is coming, and homework is piling up.”
"Really do not have?"
“Really not.” Albert assured seriously
"Hagrid, are you okay?" Albert felt like he had to change his plans when he went back. He could feel Hagrid's strange persistence.
"No, I spent most of my energy trying to drive the Weasley brothers out of the Forbidden Forest." Hagrid waved the rock biscuit in his hand and chewed the biscuit in one bite, as if this was the only way to discover the dissatisfaction in his heart.
"Hagrid, actually you don't want people to go into the forest, right?" Albert asked tentatively, and before Hagrid could answer, he continued: "Is Luwei still in the forest?"
“You…I don’t know what you are talking about!” Hagrid said dryly.
"Don't worry, I won't talk nonsense, you know it." Albert nodded to show that he understood, after all, the rumors last time were so embarrassing.
"I won't let you enter the forest because the Acromantulas in the Forbidden Forest have been restless recently. I just don't want them to risk their lives."
"Did Dumbledore say when he would send Lu Wei away?" Albert asked again.
"Summer vacation!" Hagrid said angrily. He really couldn't understand how Albert knew that Lu Wei was still in the Forbidden Forest. Did he really show his flaws?
“What’s going on with the Acromantula?” Albert asked.
“I don’t know, it seems that there was a sneak attack, and a wizard was hunting Acromantula in the Forbidden Forest.” Hagrid frowned slightly, which was obviously a situation he didn’t want to see.
"How is this going?"
"I don't know, they said..." Hagrid hesitated, as if he was considering whether to tell Albert these things.
“Them?”
"Aragog said that a wizard killed his tribe and took away the venom and spider eggs. You may not know that Acromantula eggs, like dragon eggs, are Class A prohibited trade items." Hagrid angrily Shaking his fist, he doesn't like these poachers.
"For Galleons?" Albert was not surprised. Some people would do anything for Galleons, and he himself didn't have a good impression of those big spiders. Sure enough, he should die more, the spider community Quantity can be controlled.
Isn’t the Acromantula Farm or something very good?
Come here occasionally to harvest.
"It should be." Hagrid said: "So, Aragog's community is very violent now, and even I am not allowed to get close."
"Hagrid, what you should worry about is not the safety of the Acromantula, but the safety of the wizard. Maybe he will be eaten by those big spiders that day. The Acromantula is very vindictive." Albert He comforted softly.
“You…this…” Hagrid was stunned.
"Hagrid, the Acromantula is classified as a magical animal, and the danger is self-evident." Albert reminded rather speechlessly, "For you, they may not be a threat, but for most people For wizards, those big spiders are quite dangerous."
"So, you don't have to worry about the Acromantula community being plundered by poachers. If you often do this kind of thing, you will fall into trouble sooner or later. What's more, the Acromantulas are very vindictive. Do you think they won't retaliate against those poachers? Who?"
"It seems...that's true." Hagrid reached out and scratched his head. He always felt that something was wrong, but he had to admit that what Albert said made sense.
