Chapter 136 Bravely Entering the Zoo
Chapter 136 Bravely Entering the Zoo
Sirius. Orion. Black is a recognized Gryffindor, brave and fearless is his synonym and motto.Whether it was severing ties with the family, fighting against Voldemort, or suffering humiliation in Azkaban for more than ten years, Sirius has proved this to the outside world.
But today, for the first time, he backed down.
"Damn it!" Rolling around on the ground, avoiding the spider's huge pincers, Sirius cast another petrification spell at the acromantula attacking Harry.
Although his strength is very strong, it is still a bit difficult to deal with the steady stream of giant arachnids, let alone with three children.
Harry and the others imitated Sirius and issued the Petrification Curse, but they didn't know whether they were not strong enough or the acromantula was too resistant to magic. Their Petrification Curse could only slightly delay the spider's action.
"Go back! Go back to the room just now!" Sirius shouted to the three children not far away.
When they first came out of the secret passage of the Whomping Willow, what they saw was a huge empty room.That's when he knew that the original screaming shack had been turned into a zoo.
It's too embarrassing to bring the children here excitedly and then go back disheartened.It coincided with the routine inspection day of the zoo, and there were no tourists, so Sirius simply took the children on a zoo adventure.
It's just that I didn't expect that this zoo actually had such a dangerous creature as the acromantula.Sirius gritted his teeth, looking at his godson with half blame and half relief.
Although Harry didn't tell him about the existence of Acantaraman, it also proved that Harry inherited the courage from James.Look, creatures like acromantula are so insignificant in the eyes of little Harry.
If Harry knew what Sirius was thinking, he would definitely complain.It's not that he looks down on giant arachnids, he's completely ignorant of the dangers of giant arachnids.
Because of the restraint of the leader Aragog, the acromantula was extremely docile under Hagrid, and never took the initiative to attack humans.But Aragog was old, and the young spiders were all moved to the zoo, so they also showed the viciousness that Acantara should have in the face of the rashly invading wizards.
Hearing Sirius' shout, Harry and the others also reacted. They all raised their vigilance and moved towards Black slowly.
Ron was concentrating on dealing with the spider when he suddenly felt a strange touch under his feet. Looking down, it was a white ball.
The ball is very soft and elastic, and after being kicked, it starts to shake continuously, as if it is about to explode.
"Be careful!" Sirius and Hermione said at the same time.
"Don't break it, it's an acromantula egg." Hermione urged Ron to leave anxiously, ignoring the spider rushing towards her.
Now the acromantus only attacked them because their territory was violated, but if the spider eggs were destroyed and the acromantia was completely angered, they would be in danger.
After hearing this, Ron took several steps back.
"puff!"
Hearing this voice, Ron froze.
Petrified the spider attacking Ron, Sirius shouted: "What are you doing in a daze? Come here!"
Harry approached Sirius while paying attention to Ron's situation.Seeing his brother's pale face at this time, he immediately had an ominous premonition.
Ron turned his head first, then looked at his companion in despair: "I crushed it."
Harry and the others gasped suddenly.
"It's all my fault, I should know," Hermione muttered to herself, "An acromantula can lay up to a hundred eggs at a time, and since one egg has been found, there must be countless more around it."
Harry interrupted Hermione impatiently: "Now is not the time to talk about this, we have to find a way to rescue Ron."
In just a few seconds, Ron was surrounded by giant arachnids.Apparently, the spiders found their eggs destroyed.
At a critical moment, Sirius suddenly yelled at Ron: "I'll cast a spell right away, you can run out at the right time!"
Perhaps because he was afraid that the eight-eyed spider would react, Sirius aimed his wand at the spider group in the middle the moment he finished his confession: "The flames are raging!"
There was a sound of explosion, and the huge orange fireball scattered in mid-air and fell into the crowd of spiders.
Taking advantage of the spider rolling on the ground, Ron held his nose and ran out of the thick black mist.
"Ahem," he coughed twice, and wiped the black ashes from his face, "Thank you Merlin! I almost died inside."
"You should thank Sirius," said Harry.
Afraid of another accident, Sirius interrupted the conversation between the two: "Okay, let's hurry up and leave."
Both Harry and Ron hurriedly followed Sirius to the small door on the right, only Hermione turned her head while walking: "These are flammable materials, what if the fire can't be stopped?"
"What time is it, you still care about this!" Ron complained not at all quietly.
Hermione glared at Ron immediately, and took a deep breath to retort.
"Jingle Bell--"
The sudden ringing of the bell startled all four of them. Sirius grabbed his wand and looked around vigilantly.
In the next second, the water flowing down from the ceiling drenched several people into drowned chickens.
"What!" Harry wiped his glasses with the corner of his clothes and found that they were even more blurry.
Hermione was the first to respond: "Smoke alarm!"
"Whatever it is, go quickly." Sirius pushed the three children into the small door, because he saw the acromantula getting up one after another.
After closing the special iron door and entering the empty room, several people relaxed.
"Who the hell is that Alice Hall?" Sirius was now in the mood to gossip, "Is she out of her mind?"
Who would open a zoo, and who would keep so many eight-eyed spiders in the zoo?
"Hogwarts is a psychological counselor and career counselor who took Defense Against the Dark Arts classes for several months." Ron replied.
"Senior Alice graduated from Ravenclaw, she is the smartest witch I have ever seen!" Hermione replied excitedly.
"Uh..." Seeing Sirius looking at him, Harry pondered for a long time before choking out a sentence, "She seems to have a good relationship with Snape, they say she is Snape's girlfriend."
Sirius exploded when he heard this: "Snape? The slug? He also has a girlfriend?"
"Professor Snape isn't too bad," Hermione whispered.
Sirius calmed down, and quickly found a reason for this unreasonable thing: "Isn't Alice Hall particularly ugly?"
He admitted that Ravenclaw always produces strange people, and it is reasonable for a nerd who is not very good-looking to be deceived by Snape.
"No," replied Harry, blushing, "Alice is the most beautiful woman I've ever seen."
Sirius' eyes widened. He obviously didn't believe it, but because Harry said it, he had to believe it.
"Thank you for your honesty, Harry."
Harry and the others were stunned. They turned around and saw Alice and Snape made out of the secret passage.
Alice smiled happily, while Snape was full of anger, and the two formed a sharp contrast.
"It must be the love potion," Sirius muttered under his breath.
"You should be lucky that the zoo is closed today, otherwise the first thing you will see is the basilisk," Alice turned to Snape, who seemed not to have heard what Sirius said, "Sev and I received the alarm I thought it was a thief who broke in."
Alice winked at Snape, implying that this was to save face in front of his old enemy, and not to tear things apart at this time.
Sure enough, Snape didn't respond, acquiescing to the title.
"I'm sorry, we didn't mean it." Harry lowered his head, and said that he felt reluctant to apologize.
Sirius stared blankly, apparently not knowing whether to be shocked by the "basilisk" or "Sev".
Alice expressed her forgiveness in a considerate manner: "Since everyone is here, let me show you a tour of the zoo. It hasn't been long since it opened, so you must have never visited it."
Alice Hall has always been a very principled person, so she shouldn't be so easy-going.And Snape, why did he look so calm, shouldn't he want to eat them alive?Harry and the others looked at each other in disbelief.
"Because it's an informal channel, let's go out here." Alice put her thumb on a slightly raised place on the wall.
"Inspired by Diagon Alley. Fingerprint unlock, so you know the button is useless." Looking at the moving wall, she made a little joke.
Seeing the long-lost sunshine, Harry and the others immediately relaxed.
"Behind you is the troll stadium, which is the largest venue in the entire zoo. At the same time, it also has the highest technology and magic content." Alice motioned for several people to look behind them. "If you just set fire to this venue, the fireball will be gone before it is sent out." will be drowned."
Under the sun, the basilisk hall is round as a whole, with a smooth surface without a trace of pattern, giving people a slippery and eerie feeling of a snake.
"There is a spider pavilion next to it, you know. It is worth mentioning that you were lucky to enter the acromant's lair directly. In fact, the room next to them is an ordinary spider." Alice pointed to the rectangular pavilion next to it.
As can be seen from above, the venue is divided into two parts.A rectangle and a square, the larger rectangle is the eight-eyed spider pavilion, and the smaller square is the common spider of different species. The two pavilions together form a huge rectangle.
"The petal-like venues are full of vegetarian animals like sika deer, and they are not magical creatures; the drop-shaped one is the aquarium, and the mermaids from the Black Lake will come to swim if they are interested; the triangle is the dangerous animal pavilion. It is a magical creature that is second only to the acromantula and the basilisk in terms of danger." Alice explained in detail all the way, before stopping in front of a semi-elliptical building.
"This is the last restaurant, because it's not open, so I can't invite you to eat today." She looked at Harry apologetically.
"No, no, no." Harry waved his hands again and again.
Sirius seemed to have suffered a torment, and now he was relieved and jumped up: "Thank you, then we will go first."
"Wait," Alice smiled and handed out a piece of parchment written at an unknown time, "Mr. Black, please pay the expenses. Building repairs, animal treatment expenses, business loss expenses, mental damage expenses are also There is the tour guide fee I just paid."
