The Forbidden Forest was quiet, and not a single sound could be heard.
Under the cover of the dense foliage, the dim, pale green sunlight did not look cheerful. There seemed to be some danger hidden in the shadows of the trees.
Malfoy, Gall, and Crabbe did not speak. Only the sparse sound of their footsteps could be heard, and the tension and uneasiness in their hearts grew stronger.
His original anger gradually disappeared, and his heart beat a retreat.
Acting recklessly without a purpose was not the style of the Malfoy family. If it were not for Gall and Crabbe's dissuasion, he would have been the first to leave.
For the sake of face, he decided to kill an eight-eyed spider before returning to the castle.
Looking at the time, Flint and the others should have finished their boring and meaningless review.
To embolden himself, Malfoy said loudly, "Don't think this is over. They only have the upper hand for the time being. My father wrote to me a few days ago. He is very dissatisfied with the decision of the Dangerous Creatures Committee. He has decided to appeal, and he has received the support of several important people. In my opinion, that hippogriff is dead for sure this time. "
Gall and Crabbe forced a smile, but they still looked around suspiciously.
"This time, that damn mud monster Mason can't help him. I find it funny when I think of that hairy fool crying. He is our teacher." Malfoy leaned against a big tree, and a malicious smile appeared on his pale face. "This is really a disgrace. If Professor Snape allows it, I will be the first to give up on the protection of magical creatures. You know, my father has always thought that there is something wrong with Dumbledore's management. After the hippogriff was killed, it was followed by … "
Before he could finish his words, he saw Gall and Crabbe suddenly turn to look at him. They seemed to have discovered something, and their faces were filled with horror, their eyes wide open.
"What the hell is wrong with you two?" Malfoy asked doubtfully. "Don't tell me you are like the other idiots in the school, thinking that the noble Malfoy family will be defeated by a few wretches and mud monsters? Let me tell you, this is absolutely impossible."
"Up, up there, Draco …" Crabbe's voice was slightly distorted.
Beside him, Gore pointed at the top of Malfoy's head with a trembling finger. He seemed to have something stuck in his throat and could not speak for a long time.
Seeing the appearance of his two followers, an ominous premonition rose in Malfoy's heart.
He swallowed his saliva, clenched the wand in his hand, and slowly raised his head, following Gall and Crabbe's gaze to the top of his head.
In the next second, a heart-wrenching scream rang out in the Forbidden Forest.
There was no trace of blood on Malfoy's face, as if he was a dead man. He collapsed to the ground and looked at the horrifying scene in front of him in disbelief. Sixteen black, ferocious, and extremely ugly eyes were staring at him.
It's an eight-eyed spider.
Unbeknownst to him, it had quietly crawled over. He was less than a foot away from Malfoy. He could even see the fur on its body.
What was even more horrifying was the size of the eight-eyed spider.
It was much larger than any Malfoy had ever seen before. Its sharp pincers glinted with a chilling light, and its eight furry, warm spider legs danced around.
Nausea, fear, panic, despair …
Malfoy did not know how to describe his current feelings. He subconsciously raised the wand in his hand, and a faint green light flew out.
This was a spell that Snape had taught him alone, and it was very effective against the eight-eyed spider. This was also the reason why he dared to enter the Forbidden Forest without the accompaniment of his professor.
However, because he was too flustered, the spell flew past the body of the eight-eyed spider, and did not have any effect.
Click, click, click.
With a hair-raising sound, the eight-eyed spider pounced on Malfoy along the tree trunk.
In his panic, Malfoy cast another spell, trying his best to prevent it from approaching him.
Just as the Eight-Eyed Giant Spider pounced on him, more than ten Eight-Eyed Giant Spiders emerged from the surrounding thickets.
Crabbe and Gower foolishly spun around, frantically looking around.
"Damn it, this is a trap. We've fallen into the eight-eyed spiders' encirclement!" Malfoy waved the wand in his hand and screamed, "Don't just stand there, you two idiots! Hurry up and think of something!"
Hearing Malfoy's order, Gower was completely at a loss. Crabbe did not use his wand, but instead picked up a branch from the ground and confronted the approaching eight-eyed spider, stretching out his arms like a fool.
Malfoy did not have the time to take care of the two idiots beside him. He wanted to escape, but the eight-eyed spider in front of him was tightly entangled.
Although it was huge, it could move very quickly.
Malfoy's spells all fell to the side and did not have any effect.
Despair gradually took over. Now that everyone was in the castle, no one would know that they were in the Forbidden Forest, and no one would come to save them.
Clack, clack, clack.
Distracted, Malfoy's right arm, which was holding the wand, suddenly felt a piercing pain. He had been bitten by the eight-eyed spider, at the spot where Buckbeak had attacked him last time.
But this time, it was not a long and deep gash, but a narrow and short gash.
In fact, there was not much blood flowing out of the wound, but it was even more fatal.
The eight-eyed spider's pincers were poisonous, and the blood around Malfoy's wound quickly turned a strange green.
"Help, I'm dying!" he screamed, throwing away his wand.
But no one could save him. Gower and Crabbe were both caught by the eight-eyed spiders. Their heads were facing downwards, and they struggled violently. Two eight-eyed spiders used their furry legs to clamp down on them and drag them towards the center of the forest.
Unsurprisingly, they were going to become food.
Ever since the Hogwarts started an all-out war with the eight-eyed spiders, the eight-eyed spiders had suffered heavy losses. Coupled with Elwyn's previous fire, the humans had become their mortal enemy. Hagrid had told Elwyn about this a few days ago. Aragok no longer met him, and the descendants of the eight-eyed spiders had even begun to attack him.
This kind of situation had never happened before.
Aragok had completely fallen, and had become the enemy of the wizards and the Hogwarts.
In this situation where it was almost an all-out war, they naturally would not refuse raw meat that was delivered to their doorstep.
The fat Gower and Crabbe could be stored first. As for the bitten Malfoy, of course, it would be better to eat him as soon as possible.
After all, dead human flesh did not taste good.
