you do not come from the forest. your hearts beat like.  men.
hagrid has never sent men into our hollow before.
that's a lie! hagrid never opend the chamber of secrets!
the monster was born in the castle. i came from a distant land, in the pocket of a traveler. ron turns. two crawling silhouettes inch forward. pause. waiting. watching.
we do not speak of it! it is an ancient creature we spiders fear above all others.
i never saw any part of the castle but the cupboard in which hagrid kept me. the girl was discovered in a bathroom. when i was accused, hagrid brought me here. more scrabbling. ron looks up. we pan up with him. see: spiders -- in high and low branches -- dropping downward like paratroopers. ron grabs harry.
go? i think not. my sons and daughters do not harm hagrid, on my command. but i cannot deny them fresh meat when it wanders so willingly into our midst. goodbye, friend of hagrid. aragog turns, disappears into the shadows of the cavern.
