Everyday Players at Hogwarts..

Chapter 324 Optimistic Lupin

The subsequent selection went smoothly.

Because Captain Henry had already selected a group of people in the last school year, and anyone who could be here, no matter how bad they were, would be a qualified Quidditch player.

The goalie position was taken by a burly fifth grader named Richard House.

The remaining batting spot was taken by a junior named Bradley Jones.

The position of the seeker is still Phoenix and Roger.

However, a third-year student named Chambers was very dissatisfied. He indeed flew well, but his accuracy was not good, so he could only serve as a substitute.

After a brief training, everyone walked towards the castle with tired steps.

"Hey, that's Lupin!" said Ron, and Harry looked in the direction Ron was pointing, and he saw Lupin arguing with Hagrid.

Although they couldn't hear it, they could tell it was very intense just by looking at their expressions.

"Roger, you take everyone back. Ron and I will go first." After Harry said that, he hurriedly took Ron to Hagrid's Hut.

"Aragog. They're not dangerous. They're centaurs." They could hear some of the loud Hagrid's words intermittently when they were still far away.

"Hello!" said a loud voice.

It was Hagrid. He saw Harry and the others, but he probably didn't see them clearly.

He gave Lupin a hateful look and turned away.

He was wearing a large printed apron and carrying a bag of potatoes.

His big hound, Fang, followed at his feet.

Fang growled and rushed towards Harry and the others.

"Don't mess with it! It'll bite your fingers off - oh, you guys."

Fang jumped up and down at Harry and Ron, trying to lick their ears.

Hagrid stopped, looked at the two of them, and started arguing with Lupin again, "Dumbledore's mission to you is not Aragog and the others. I think -"

"Who is Aragog?"

"Why were you arguing?" Ron and Harry asked separately.

"It's an Acromantula, Hagrid's pet."

"Recently, the centaurs have said that there are too many spiders, and they dare not go out hunting alone." Lupin said in a complaining tone.

"They're just kids, and they promised me not to target centaurs and little wizards." Hagrid looked like he had heard a joke.

"Little furry boy!"

"they!"

"The Acromanthus is a magical creature of XXXXX level!"

"Hagrid, you know what XXXXX means - animals known to have killed wizards/impossible to tame or domesticate!"

Ron said tremblingly.

"I raised Aragog!" Hagrid glared at Ron with his black beetle-like eyes.

"Hagrid, I told you that you may have raised Aragog." "But what about his wife, the one you call Mosag?"

"And their thousands of offspring!" said Lupin seriously.

"Aragog is their leader and parent. The Acromantulas will not disobey their parent's orders. Lupin, you think too much. They can also be vegetarians, and no wizard or centaur has been killed in all these years." Hagrid dropped the hunting potatoes and waved his hand.

"But this assumes that Aragog is still strong. Counting his age, he is almost 50 years old. Are you sure that after Aragog's death, his descendants will still obey your orders?"

"If thousands of giant eight-eyed spiders the size of small elephants attacked Hogwarts in their desire for human flesh, it would be a very dangerous thing! I need to be responsible for my students!" Lupin waved his hand and pointed to the depths of the forest, as if a large number of giant eight-eyed spiders would immediately rush out.

"So, I ran into a group of giant eight-eyed spiders in the Forbidden Forest last year?" Ron's face turned pale. He didn't react so strongly when he heard that the wizard in the Forbidden Forest was Voldemort.

"Okay, that's your question?"

"In my opinion, it would be better to ask Dumbledore about this matter."

"Or Hagrid, you can raise another Acromantula and train it well - of course it has to be the heir recognized by Aragog." Harry was speechless.

In his opinion, although the eight-eyed giant spider is dangerous, that is only for ordinary wizards.

But if it were Dumbledore, he would probably have hundreds of ways to deal with them.

"I'll go ask Dumbledore!" This was Lupin.

"I'll go find Aragog and ask him for his opinion, but I don't think this can be hidden from Dumbledore. He must have known about it a long time ago. He didn't give any orders, so he must have thought it was unnecessary. Lupin, just carry out Dumbledore's orders." Hagrid said quickly, glaring at Lupin again.

"Lupin, what is your mission?" Harry asked curiously, while Ron was still trembling palely beside him.

Lupin looked at Harry and seemed to be choosing his words. "Dumbledore asked me to contact the werewolves. You all know that I am a werewolf ('Aha, you know he is a werewolf!' said Hagrid), and my kind are almost all on Voldemort's side. They have always avoided normal society, lived on the margins, stole food - and sometimes killed people."

"You may have heard that there are also a group of werewolves in the Forbidden Forest. Their camp is more neutral."

"Dumbledore seems to be worried that Professor Riddle's presence will cause Voldemort to take desperate measures, so he asked me to get some information through the werewolves in the Forbidden Forest." Lupin said in a relaxed tone.

"Hey! Is this something you can tell the kids?" Hagrid shook his big beard unhappily.

"They all know that Riddle is part of Voldemort. Dumbledore seems to be worried about the coming war. So he has become much tougher, forcing some of the guys who took the credit for our achievements to step down and let the real heroes - like your father, Ron - take over."

"Now the Ministry of Magic is full of our people, plus this Voldemort in the school."

"Even Voldemort's men, Malfoy's gang, have come to our side."

"And you, Harry. You who defeated Voldemort so many times."

"To be honest, I can't imagine the possibility that we will lose."

"Perhaps that's why I have the time to look up the centaurs and the spiders." Lupin sighed happily.

The news that Voldemort might attack again seemed more like a game that he must win.

"Okay, let's not talk about these tense topics." Harry looked at Hagrid, who was obviously afraid of Voldemort.

"By the way, Ron, how do you know so much about Acromantula?" Harry changed the subject.

Ron glared at Harry, but then he looked at Hagrid and understood, "Well, I'm afraid of spiders."

"You used spiders so many times in Potions class." Harry looked shocked.

"I don't care about dead spiders, I just don't like the way they move--" Ron said unhappily.
