CHAPTER 16 ARAGOG
Aragog, the giant spider owned by Hagrid the Giant, had taken over Hogwarts. He defeated the large snake of Voldemort and subdued Dumbledore through the use of his fangs. Many were injured but none died, because Aragog refuses to kill. He waited patiently for Harry and Ron while tending to his dogs and his pigs.
Aragog found Harry and Ron in the woods on the way back to Hogwarts. He called Ron a cute monkey and spoke in a high voice to Harry, insinuating that Harry was an aminal.
Harry did not find this endearing and he lashed out at the eight legged monster. "I am very upset at you, Aragog," said Harry. "Blah, blah, blah," said Ron in agreement.
"I was not a killer before, but I will make and exception for you", cried Aragog in a high voice. Ron and Harry ran as fast as they could, but they were no match for Aragog, who was a champion sprinter in high school on his home planet of Naboo. Aragog caught them and was about to eat them when Hermione and Tom Felton entered the scene.
"I hereby order you to stop, Aragog," said Tom. "If you don't, you will be sorry," declared Hermione.
"Well", said Aragog, "I will now reveal embarrassing truths that you have hid from each other. First, Hermione's real name is Hermimone."
Hermione turned red and fainted into Tom's arms.
"Second, Ron was a boy who was turned into a monkey and then turned back into a boy. In his monkey life, he was the legendary Chistery. Ron, I will give you a choice: monkey or man."
To that, Ron spoke in clear English, "I choose monkey." Aragog transformed him into Chistery and Chistery scampered off making monkey sounds.
Aragog turned to Harry next. Harry braced for any news coming his way. But without warning, Tom Felton grew into a giant and crushed Aragog with his boot. The world would never learn Harry's darkest secret.
Harry decided to return now to Hogwarts.
