Aragog Makes An Unexpected Comeback
My oldest niece is in high school and a bunch of her friends are making fun of her because she has never read the “Harry Potter” books, only seen the movies. I have all of the books in hardback and she asks if she can borrow them and then let her little sister read them next. I say sure, lending them out one at a time.
She gets halfway through the third book when we hear a blood-curdling scream. I go running to her.
Me: “What’s wrong?!”
Oldest Niece: “There’s a huge spider squished in between the pages of this book!”
I started laughing and finally remembered I had been in bed reading when this spider came down in between my nose and the book. I am both scared to death of spiders and allergic to them, so I slammed the book closed on it and then forgot… for a few years.
The best part is, my niece didn’t clean the spider off and when my younger niece got to that same page a week later, there was another blood-curdling scream.
