Turn to Page 265, Aragog. Today’s lesson is called Missing Pieces. The chapter begins with Harry and Ron grappling with the sudden absences of Hermione, Dumbledore, and Hagrid. The school is enforcing strict rules upon the students in order to protect against further attacks, and these rules (and the seeming absence of all spiders) are putting a stop to Harry and Ron acting on Hagrid’s departing words. Eventually, however, they discover an organized trail of spiders while in Herbology, and resolve to follow the trail that night. After tracking to Hagrid’s Hut, they go with Fang into the Forbidden Forest. The trail of spiders leads to their getting captured by giant spiders who take them to Aragog’s lair. Aragog recounts Hagrid’s apparent innocence and his hatred of the beast inside the school, which culminated in the murder of a student in the bathroom. He casually announces that his children will now eat Harry and Ron, when the Ford Anglia bizarrely arrives and shuttles them to safety. Later that night, Harry comes to realize that the student the beast killed might very well be Moaning Myrtle.
