    "So, did you later send the eight-eyed giant spider Aragog into the Forbidden Forest?"

    Harry asked.

    Hagrid nodded:

    "Yes, I also found him a wife called Mosag in the Forbidden Forest. They have already had hundreds of descendants."

    "As far as I know, the eight-eyed giant spider is a magical creature that doesn't have the ability to turn people to stone."

    At this point, George added another sentence.

    Hermione pondered for a moment and said:

    "Since Aragog is in the Forbidden Forest, then the monster that has been attacking students from the Chamber of Secrets cannot be the eight-eyed spider, and therefore, the attack that happened years ago could not have been Hagrid."

    "It's too bad that no one else, except us, would probably believe these things."

    To outsiders, the eight-eyed giant spider in the Forbidden Forest may not necessarily be the one that Hagrid let out of the Chamber of Secrets, as there is no concrete evidence to prove it.

    After leaving Hagrid's cabin and confirming that Hagrid is not the heir to the Chamber of Secrets, Harry's trio felt much more uplifted.

    "Since Hagrid is innocent, can we somehow help him?"

    On the way back to the castle, Harry suddenly spoke up with a suggestion.

    Hermione seemed to have a similar thought:

    "As long as we can figure out a way to lure out that monster and prove that it is not the eight-eyed spider, we can clear up the misunderstanding from years ago and give Hagrid a chance at justice."

    "But recently, the monster seems to have disappeared without a trace. Could it be that it has already ended?"

    Ron worriedly said.

    George couldn't help but inwardly exclaim as he heard the new content of their discussion.

    "You two are really smart!"

    Every student in the school is afraid of encountering the monster from the Chamber of Secrets, yet you three not only think about how to lure it out but also how to prove that it's not an eight-eyed spider.

    Actually, George may think that the three of you are reckless, but he himself has similar thoughts.

    However, he is different. He is not reckless, but he has his own consideration.

    He knows that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk, and he also knows that the basilisk has a fatal weakness.

    The basilisk is the most dreadful magical creature that ancient wizards created by placing an egg inside a toad's belly and using dark magic to hatch it.

    It not only possesses deadly fangs and a massive body, but its eyes have the terrifying magic that can turn anyone into stone with just one glance, even reflections can be turned into stone.

    However, this powerful magical creature has an enemy: the rooster. When a rooster crows, the basilisk basically loses all its ability to attack, and it may even be frightened to death on the spot.

    So Voldemort would have controlled Ginny, secretly killing all the roosters that Hagrid had raised.

    George's secret plan this Christmas was not only to learn how to make wands, but also to buy several roosters and raise them in the box he created with a Muffliato charm.

    The purpose is to have them on hand to fight the basilisk in case there is a life-threatening situation and they can't defeat it.

    Of course, if it were just to help clear Hagrid's name, they wouldn't need to actually kill the basilisk. All they would need to do is let everyone know that the monster in the Chamber of Secrets is a basilisk.

    And he won't use the rooster trick unless it's absolutely necessary.

    Because it's not easy to explain either the Muffliato charm box or the roosters he raised in advance.

    However, that is a story for another time. Now, the diary is in Harry's possession, and it will be when Ginny finds the stolen diary that the basilisk will reappear again, and there will be some time left before that.

    Now his top priority is to learn the Patronus Charm.

    Time flew by, and soon it was February 14th, Valentine's Day.

    As soon as he arrived in the Great Hall that morning, he noticed that the decorations had changed. Roses of all sizes were blooming all over the walls, and hearts of various colors were falling from the sky-blue ceiling nonstop.

    "It looks quite attractive, no wonder it's so popular among witches."

    As he watched the young witches enter the Great Hall, their eyes sparkling with love, George couldn't help but admire Looney's prowess in this area.

    At the same time, he also sighed that whether it was a muggle or a witch, as long as she was a woman, most of them couldn't resist these more romantic scenes.

    In contrast, some male wizards had less favorable expressions. When Harry and Ron walked into the Great Hall, they saw Looney in a brightly colored pink robe, and their faces were filled with disgust, as if they were about to vomit.

    The professors on the high table looked unhappy, especially Professor Snape, who seemed to have just been given a large dose of Veritaserum.

    Once most of the young witches were in the Great Hall, Looney began his specially prepared Valentine's Day morale-boosting plan.

    That was to send twelve little elves, dressed as Cupids, each with a golden wing and a harp, around the school to deliver Valentine's Day cards to the students.

    If a young witch has someone they like, they can write a Valentine's Day card and hand it over to the elves. They will help deliver it to that person, and if needed, they can even help deliver the declaration of love.

    Even Looney encouraged everyone to ask Snape for advice on how to brew love potions and ask Flitwick for advice on enchantment spells.

    George just watched the spectacle without much concern.

    After all, for him, his body was still a child, and most of the students in school were not adults either, so they had no plans for dating or anything like that.

    Dating would take time, and right now he would rather spend his time on magic studies.

    You can always find time to date, but opportunities to learn magic don't come around easily. Besides, he has a rather indifferent attitude towards dating.

    His previous life experience has taught him that love is not a necessity. If there is a physical need, it's better to find someone to mutually satisfy it. Afterwards, everyone goes their separate way, and everyone is just a stranger in each other's lives.

    Since he had been exposed to magic, he felt that magic was the only thing he truly wanted to pursue, and everything else should be put aside.

    Through the midst of flowers, not a single leaf touches him. This is his attitude towards the opposite sex.

    "Charm of Invisibility!"

    In the Forbidden Forest, George waved his wand, and a transparent blade flew out of his wand, successfully hitting the mole in front that was running away. The mole was instantly ripped open, and its flesh was torn apart.

    Peggy, flying above George, dived down and caught the mole in her mouth, swallowing it whole in one bite.

    There were no classes in the morning, so after George finished his breakfast, he secretly practiced the Charm of Invisibility in the Forbidden Forest. The objects he practiced on were various small animals in the Forbidden Forest.

    Just like the Fire Charm, which can become a small flame if used poorly or a sea of fire if used well, the Charm of Invisibility is also like this.

    At the beginner level, like George now, you can only cast one blade at a time, and the power is also average.

    Once you master it, then you can cast multiple blades at once, and the size of each transparent blade will not be just a little.

    If you study it deeply enough, you can split a person in half with just one slash.

    So even after mastering it, you still need to keep studying and practicing, and not get complacent.

    George didn't go to the Great Hall for lunch, instead, he had rock cakes with Hagrid in his hut. To be honest, if it weren't for Hagrid's physique being far superior to normal witches and his strong teeth, he wouldn't have been able to bite into the rock cakes.

    But in terms of taste, it was really good. Hagrid was not exaggerating.
