Chapter 15: Aragog

Following Hagrid's clue, Harry and Ron venture into the Forbidden Forest to find Aragog, Hagrid's giant spider. Aragog explains that he is not the creature from the Chamber of Secrets and that the monster is something even spiders fear. Aragog reveals that a girl died when the chamber was last opened and that Hagrid was wrongfully accused. Despite the terrifying encounter with Aragog's offspring, Harry and Ron manage to escape. They now know that Hagrid is innocent, but they still don't know who is behind the current attacks. The chapter adds to the suspense and danger of their investigation.
