Rose though got the information she wanted, and she also felt pretty stupid considering she didn't see the sign of this thing as a huge snake while only she could hear the voices and none other, she was now more concerned about how to get out of the situation in front of her.
"Okay, thank you Mr. Spider for helping me out, I need to get going now. Otherwise, I will be punished," Rose said and slowly started to back away but at this time she heard.
"My children never hurt Hagrid, but even I can't save you from them, little human. Hagrid friends maybe you are, but they are Hungry," came the scary voice and Rose immediately gulped.

(Rose POV)
Suddenly, the air was alive with the skittering of countless tiny legs. Panic clenched at my chest as the ground beneath me seemed to quake with the approach of spiders – hordes of them, emerging from the shadows.
"Wait, what's happening?" I stammered, glancing around in horror as the multitude of eyes fixated on me. Aragog's offspring, his kin, surrounded me in a living sea of hairy legs and glinting fangs.
A piercing screech echoed through the forest as a particularly large spider lunged toward me. Fear surged, and without a second thought, I bolted. Branches snagged at my robes, but adrenaline propelled me forward as the forest became a blur of twisted trees and moonlit shadows.
The cacophony of spider hisses and clicks pursued me, and I dared not look back. My breaths came in ragged gasps, matching the erratic rhythm of my pounding heart. Fear fueled my sprint as I pushed through the underbrush, desperate to escape the advancing arachnid onslaught.
The forest seemed endless, a labyrinth of gnarled roots and tangled vegetation. The webs of the spiders became obstacles, and I fought through them, my hands clawing at the sticky strands. Panic threatened to overwhelm me, but I couldn't afford to succumb to terror.
But then while running, my leg got twisted and I fell. "Ahh," a sharp pain rang in my leg as a groan escaped my lips.
(POV END)

But that was not important as what was more important was to get out of the forest. But no the moment she was about to get up another sharp pain from her twisted ankle rang in her body.
She took out her wand but she didn't have any particular offence magic right now. Only Expelliarmus.
Spotting the spiders quickly closing, She shot a few spells towards them but there was no way that she could have held all of them back.
There were thousands if not millions of those 8 legs monsters around her.
"Ahhaaa" She screamed out the moment one got on her. They started to cover her. Some even were about to sting her with their position as another fearful scream was let out of her.
"Boom"
A loud shout came and all the spiders were blown away from her. Then she saw someone landing right next to her and in that person's hand was fire.
With him masterfully controlling fire, the person created a ring of fire about them to keep the spiders away before finally turning towards her.
This person was none other than, "Orion," Rose shouted out as she almost wanted to run up to him and jump at him. But her ankle holds her back. She also noticed that he was completely out of breath, must have run here to find her. Some guilt weighed down on her.
"We will talk later about this," Orion looked at her with much-irritated eyes. He was there resting in the infirmary with peace and now here he was surrounded by thousands of spiders and one red loli almost on the verge of tears.
Those words was enough to stop what Rose was thinking and immediately close her mouth.
"But that can come later, I have to first deal with this guy here," Orion said and fire once again came out from his hands.
Without hesitation, Orion conjured a protective shield, fending off the advancing spiders. The air crackled with magic as he seamlessly transitioned into wandless fire spells, flames dancing at his fingertips. The spiders recoiled, hissing and clicking, as the enchanted fire consumed the webs that hung between the trees.
Orion's wandless fire magic blazed to life, a brilliant display of controlled chaos. With swift and precise movements, he directed the flames, creating a fiery barrier between them and the arachnid onslaught. The forest erupted into a spectacle of magical fire, the flames casting a warm glow against the encroaching darkness.
But again he didn't just stop there as he almost lit up the entire forest as he started to burn the spiders of all sizes around him. He knew that it was Hagrid's pet, in a way, but who cares? He just wanted to absorb them but absorbing any won't do. He has to absorb the strongest one out of all.
As the spiders retreated, Orion turned to me, a mixture of concern and determination in his eyes. "Are you alright, Rose?"
She nodded, catching her breath, the flames casting flickering shadows across his face. "Thank you," she managed to say, she wanted to say more. Much more but nothing could come to her mouth after seeing his eyes which usually are soft but now were glaring at her with concern and anger.
Orion, his gaze unwavering, surveyed the scorched surroundings. "We will talk later, but till then stay here under the fire circle and shield. I will come after taking care of those spiders." Orion said and before she could say anything, he was gone.
[Don't kill all of them, you will disturb the natural food chain of the forest] Merlin added as he saw Orion's fire getting more intense as he got nearer to the giant spider.
"I know, I will reduce their numbers and get the biggest one and that's it," Orion replied.

Fighting with the spider shouldn't be that hard, MC took down a dragon after all. I believe it should be easy enough.
