Harry's POV
We walked farther into the forest.

"Harry. I don't like this at all." Ron said.
I looked around and it was completed dark.

I held the lantern a little closer. Looks like the spiders are still going.

"Can we go back now?" Ron asked.
"Come on." I said, ignoring his complaining.

We walked through the opening.
"Who is it?" A voice asked.

I gulped.

"Don't panic." I whispered.
"Hagrid, is that you?" A voice asked.

"We're friends of Hagrid's." I blurt it out.

A giant spider began to crawl out.
I gulped in fear.

"You. You're Aragog, aren't you?" I asked, calmly.

"Yes. Hagrid has never sent anyone into our hollow before." Aragog replied.
"He's in trouble. Up at the school, there have been attacks. They think it's Hagrid. They think he opened the Chamber Of Secrets." I said.
"That's a lie. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets." Aragog said.
"Then you're not the monster?" I asked.
"No. The monster was born in the castle. I came to Hagrid from a distant land. In the pocket of a traveler." Aragog replied.

"So, if you're not the monster, then what did kill that girl 50 years ago?" I asked Aragog.

"We do not speak of it. It is an ancient creature that we spiders fear above all others." Aragog replied.

"Harry." Ron whimpered and nudged me again.
"Shush." I hushed him.
"But have you seen it?" I asked Aragog.

"I never saw any part if the castle, but the box in which Hagrid kept me. The girl died was discovered in the bathroom. When I was accused, Hagrid brought me here." Aragog replied.

"Harry." Ron said.
"What?!" I snapped.

Ron whimpered and pointed up.
I followed his glance and spiders were coming down one by one.

I gulped and turned back to Aragog.

"Well, thank you. We will just go." I said.
"Go?" Aragog asked.

Ron nodded.

"I think not. My sons and daughters do not harm Hagrid, but I cannot deny them fresh meat when it wonders so willingly into our midst. Goodbye, Friends of Hagrid." Aragog said.

"Can we panic now?" Ron asked.
"Be my guest." I said.

A spider jumped down in front of us. More followed.

"Know any spells, you two?" Ron asked.
"One. but it's not powerful enough for all of them." Harry said.

"Where's Hermione and Belle when you need her. Even Erika." Ron said.

The flying car came to our way. The doors opened.

"Lets go." Harry said.

We both charged to the car as spider came up to us.

"Arania Exumai!" I send a spell.
the spell hit the spider.

We let Fang in and Ron started the engine.

The car started to drive through the forest until we're out of sight.

"Glad we're out of there." Ron said.

I sighed out of relief.

A spider jumped on the car ad grabbed Ron by the neck. I pulled out my wand and pointed at the spider.
Ron moved a little bit to his right.

"Arania Exumai!"
The spell hit the spider.

"Thanks for that." Ron said.
"Don't mention it." I said.

Then suddenly, I looked through the windshield.

More spiders came.

"Ron, drive!!" I exclaimed.

Ron started to back up the car.
"Get us in the air." I said.
"The flying gear is jammed." Ron replied.

I helped Ron, pushing up the lever and all of our strength....it worked.

The car flew and we made it back to Hogwarts.

"Follow the spiders. If Hagrid ever get out of Azkaban, I'll kill him." Ron said.

Then the car starte to drove away, on it's own.
"I mean, what was the point of sending us in there? What have we found out?" Ron asked.

"Well, we know one thing. Hagrid never opened the Chamber of Secrets. He was innocent." I replied.
