A Salamander scurried out from under the train car door, and several Hogwarts Students followed it, rushing out of the car, but after only a few cars, their path was blocked.
A group of Hogwarts Students crowded the aisle, surrounding a Black boy with dreadlocks, their faces showing both excitement and fear.
"Let us see your big baby again, Lee!"
"Yeah, Lee! Just a tiny peek will do, I just want one look, otherwise I won't be able to sleep tonight!!"
"Lee, can I touch your baby with my hand? I've never seen one that big before! Please!!"
Lee Jordan was surrounded by everyone like a star, feeling a bit smug, he chuckled, "My baby is shy, you can look, but definitely don't touch it, or you'll break it…"
Lee Jordan gestured for everyone to come closer and stealthily pulled out a box. When he opened it, a tuft of sexy little black hair was revealed, followed by a furry, pitch-black… eight-legged creature.
It was a black Bag Spider, with small, tightly arranged eyes, two dark decorative bands outlining its sides, converging into a point at the rear, and raking teeth on its chelicerae.
After the Hogwarts Students saw the Bag Spider, they were all satisfied:
The boys pointed at each other, expressing their disdain for the little spider; the girls let out sharp screams, displaying their "fragility," but it was unclear whether their voices contained more excitement or fear.
Lee closed the box, and many Hogwarts Students who hadn't seen it clearly urged him to show his big baby again for everyone to admire, enjoy, and play with.
After a few rounds, the Hogwarts Students all got used to the Bag Spider, some found it a bit boring, and the cheers lessened significantly.
Lee blinked and said, "This one is very ordinary, I have some other good stuff in my car!"
"Is it a bigger spider?"
"What big spider… It's more exciting than a spider!" Lee held up the box and shouted, "Come on, come and see, and you'll know!"
The Hogwarts Students' emotions were stirred up again, and they flocked around Lee, pushing and shoving. At this moment, he felt like he was the brightest kid at Hogwarts!
It really lit up… Two spells suddenly streaked across the aisle, one hitting Lee, making him emit a brilliant light, and another hitting the Bag Spider in the box.
The scene was exactly like the top male gunner on the Japanese server bravely slaying enemies!
Noisy shouts echoed in the aisle, but they were definitely not of excitement, but of fear!
The Bag Spider, originally only palm-sized, expanded to over half a meter long under the effect of the Enlargement Charm. The sexy little black hairs on its legs also turned into perfectly visible, dangerously gleaming bristles, and its beautiful patterns appeared hideous and terrifying.
No Hogwarts Student wanted to handle the spider with their bare hands anymore. They let out sharp screams, scattering and fleeing, hiding towards the train cars.
Lee's face, under the effect of the Enlargement Charm, had swollen into a pig's head. He also wanted to run, but the giant Bag Spider suddenly leaped up, pouncing straight at his head, its eight legs clamping around his neck, its abdomen pressed tightly against his face.
The Bag Spider opened its mouth, extended its slender, needle-like proboscis, and inserted it into Lee's mouth, all the way down his throat.
From the posture, it closely resembled a facehugger's impregnation process, or a PCR test.
Rolf stood in the aisle, and suddenly, a "ding" sounded in his mind.
[Detected a house Bag Spider that has been hit by an Enlargement Charm, triggering a side quest:
Capture the Bag Spider, reward magic:
[Mana Replenishment]
[Using lips as a medium and tongue as an absorber, establish a magic channel to absorb magic from a Magical Creature's body, thereby rapidly restoring one's own magic (Quest not completed)]
"..."
System, is your "Mana Replenishment" even decent?!
Rolf rubbed his face and sighed softly. He was undoubtedly a decent person; even though he had learned a lot of theoretical knowledge by observing small videos in his previous life, he was still not interested in the "fluid exchange" method of mana replenishment.
But at this moment, to save someone, he had no choice but to hold his nose and 'reluctantly' complete the wicked quest issued by the system!
Lee was not in mortal danger, but the massive loss of magic made his entire body tremble. He sat on the ground with drooping shoulders and weak limbs, the spider's proboscis still in his mouth, and he mumbled indistinctly:
"Hurry… pull it out…"
The Hogwarts Students all hid far away, quietly pulling open the train car door cracks to observe what was happening in the aisle.
Seeing that no one was helping, Neville, who was also very scared, mustered up his courage and walked over hesitantly. He hugged the spider and pulled it back forcefully.
The Bag Spider was pulled into an astonishing arc but still refused to let go. Its proboscis was inserted even tighter, causing a sharp pain in Lee's throat.
He wanted to bite off the proboscis forcefully, but viscous venom sprayed from the spider's proboscis, numbing his lips and leaving him without the strength to even clench his teeth.
"Neville, stop pulling." Rolf walked over and stopped him, "The harder you pull, the harder this Bag Spider will cling on, and this student's mouth might end up being torn."
Neville was so scared that he immediately let go. Lee's face also turned dark, making his sausage-like lips appear even redder. He asked hoarsely, "Then… what should we do?"
"Bag Spiders like dark and damp environments." Rolf said softly, "They are most afraid of fire."
Hermione, peeking her head out, rummaged in her pocket and then turned to look at the ponytail girl, asking, "Chang, did you bring matches?"
"Matches… Are you even a Witch, Hermione?" Rolf glanced at her, saying with 'heartfelt pain':
"I'm really worried now, you might be sorted into the worst house."
The girl wrinkled her nose and, uncharacteristically, didn't retort directly, just said impatiently, "Hurry and save him!"
Rolf did not pull out his wand; instead, he raised his right hand, and tiny sparks of fire swirled around the boy's fingertips. He softly said:
"Salamander of Flame."
The surrounding students all widened their eyes. Many Hogwarts Students were just watching the spectacle, but only the older students could understand how outrageous this move was.
He actually performed wandless magic!
The ball of fire gathered, floated into the air, and suddenly grew countless times larger. When it fully materialized, it was in the form of a lizard, with flames dancing all over its body.
The Bag Spider instinctively avoided the scorching flames and released its entanglement with Lee. It dropped to the ground, moved swiftly, and rushed into the distance, attempting to escape.
"Fire Kiss!" Rolf shouted, simultaneously bending his fingers and gently tapping, flicking out a few grass seeds.
The Salamander perched on the boy's shoulder, upon hearing the command, pounced forward, blocking the Bag Spider's path, and confronted it.
The grass seeds landed on the Bag Spider's head and, propelled by magic, grew rapidly. Soon, they were like several long snakes, unfurling themselves in the air, instantly binding the Bag Spider tightly.
As the system's notification [Side Quest Completed] sounded in his ear, Rolf smiled contentedly:
"Capture… completed!"
