I own nothing but the plot.
Chapter Thirty-eight: Itzy Bitzy Spiders
Gabriel snatched the spider that was attempting to munch on Ron's face and threw it over his shoulder. The two boys sat shell shocked in the front of the car.
"You two just had to go poking the mad and hairy thing, didn't you!" The arch angel huffed as he opened the car door.
"Move!" He ordered the still dumfounded red head. Ron stumbled trying to get to the back of the car and when he did, Gabriel slipped in behind him. Adjusting the mirror, he corrected the seat before turning to the boys.
"Everybody got their seat belts on," he quipped. (Again when had he become an adult?)
"We have to get out of here!" Harry yelled. When Gabriel looked up to see what he meant, he let out a growl. Hundreds and hundreds of giant spiders had dropped from the trees and where attempting to block their exit. Gabriel slammed his foot on the accelerator and sped of in the direction he hoped the castle was in.
The spiders behind them had begun to give a chase. Taking as sharp a turn as he could in the thick woods, Gabriel attempted to shake eight legged freaks all whilst muttering to himself.
"Hermione gets attacked and what do they do? Return to their dorm? Nooo. Harry and Ron think its good go play tag with killer spiders in the big creepy forest. What could possibly go wrong?" He made another sharp turn causing the boys to slam in to the car doors.
"Honestly what where you two thinking?" he yelled so they could understand him.
"We went to speak to Hagrid about the Chamber of Secrets," Harry began, "But before he could answer us, the Minister came and arrested him. So he told us to go and follow the spiders."
"So you did!? Kid, were you born crazy or suicidal? I can't tell!"
Harry gave him a irritated look, "Anyways, we met Aragog who was the creature I saw in Tom's memory and he told us that it wasn't Hagrid."
Gabriel let out a half crazed laughed as he narrowly missed a tree.
"Seriously kid. I could have told you that! Hell, I did! Me and Hermione both! You really needed a giant dust bunny with pincers and eight legs to tell you that? What is wrong with you?"
In the back seat, Ron was beginning to make rather panicked noises when he leant forward to point at something in front of them. Gabriel looked up.
"Shit!"
Gabriel saw a row of thirty spiders were blocking their way and there was nowhere to turn as more came to join them.
As Gabriel began contemplating if he should just use his grace to get them out of this situation, Harry pipet up next to him once more,
"Get us in the air!" he screeched at Ron who lunched forward to pull a lever next to Gabriel on the dashboard.
"It's stuck!" Ron yelped in fear as he kept tugging on it. Crashing in to the spider the archangel watched the boy in confusion.
"What are you trying to do?" Gabriel yelled as he was still driving when suddenly Ron fell back as the lever got pulled back and the car began to grow?
"What the...?" Gabriel looked out of the window. The car was flying. Slowly the realisation hit. "This is your dad's car. The one Hermione was talking about." He let out a laugh as he steared the car away from the spiders and above the trees. Ron nodded smiling a little with relive.
"I want one", was all he could say as they slowly floated over the trees.
"Ladies and gentlemen and dogs. This is your captain speaking. We are about to land, please keep your arms legs and tails inside of the aircraft," Gabriel muttered as he began to land. "Thank you for flying air Gabriel," He muttered just as the car crashed in to the ground next to Hagrid's hut.
Harry and Ron immediately leapt out of the car swiftly followed by a still angry Gabriel. "Follow the spiders! He says! Follow the Spiders! If Hagrid ever gets out of Azkaban, I'll kill him!"Ron yelled as he glared at Harry. Gabriel who was letting Fang out of the car couldn't help but agree with him. Before he could admit that however, the noise of the car engine starting caught their attention. The three of them watched in disbelieve as the Ford drove back in to the forest.
"So your Dad managed to create life,"Gabriel said to the redhead. "That's not concerning what so ever."
