In the darkness, Evan saw the windows of Hagrid's hut with lights shining. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Instead of approaching, they walked in the other direction, in the breeze, along a path that gradually disappeared into the depths of the black forest.

In addition to Ron, Aven, Harry, and Hermione have all had the experience of entering the Forbidden Forest in the middle of the night.

But those experiences were terrible.

When Harry and Hermione were in their first year, they were put on confinement.

They entered the Forbidden Forest with Hagrid and Malfoy in the middle of the night in search of the unicorn that had been harmed by Voldemort, and Harry even met Voldemort himself at the time.

A month ago, Evan pursued Peter Pettigrew into the Forbidden Forest.

In addition to dealing with Peter, he also had a big fight with the terrifying Eight-Eyed Spiders. In the end, he burned down the lair of Aragog, the leader of the eight-eyed spiders, as well as hundreds of eight-eyed spiders, and these monsters must hate him to death by now.

The Eight-Eyed Spider is very intelligent and very vindictive, and if they know that Evan has entered the Forbidden Forest again, they will definitely swarm and fight him.

Thankfully, they didn't make their way to the territory of the Eight-Eyed Spider.

Led by Sirius, several of them continued to go deeper and deeper along the sheep's gut path.

The Forbidden Forest was dark and silent. Under the faint light of the wand, everyone walked forward silently, close together, the atmosphere became more and more oppressive, and the voices were lower and lower, and no one knew what would be waiting for them.

At each time you go forward, you will encounter a fork in the road.

It can be seen that Sirius is very familiar with the neighborhood, and he does not hesitate much, and directly chooses the right path.

Soon, at the end of the road, Evan saw a rapid, winding stream, and they went upriver for more than an hour, getting farther and farther away from the castle.

The five of them had entered the heart of the Forbidden Forest, flanked by tall trees that had never changed on either side of the stream, and the ground was covered with thick mosses and unknown plants, as if no one had stepped on them for centuries, and from time to time they could see miraculous creatures that came to drink.

Behind a dark green rock, Evan spotted a rare shape-shifting lizard.

It was about ten inches long, with silvery-green patterns on its body, and it was cowering in a corner, motionless, as if it were a rock itself.

As soon as Evan got closer, it quickly slipped out and fled into the distance.

If it weren't for the fact that there was something important waiting for him, Evan would have wanted to catch this guy. The scales of the shapeshifting lizard are a very valuable magical material, which can be used as purses or storage bags, and the scaly material of this scaly material will automatically shrink when approached by strangers, and it will be difficult for others to detect it.

When used with the Traceless Stretch Charm, it is definitely one of the must-have equipment for wizards.

Evan said sorry for himself, and they walked forward for a while, resting briefly near a river beach full of round stones.

"We're almost there, and this neighborhood is the territory of the centaurs. Sirius cautiously checked his surroundings, "I've been hiding in the Forbidden Forest for food since last summer, when I've been hiding from the Dementors and the Ministry of Magic. But I rarely come around here, and horses don't like humans to get around. ”

"I've read in books that centaurs are disgusted with wizards!" Hermione said worriedly, looking around uneasily, "what if they attack us?"

"I don't think that's going to happen, and while centaurs aren't very friendly to humans, they don't usually attack. Sirius explained, "They just don't interact with us, but if they want to talk, they're more than willing to do so, and tell you about their fate, warnings, and things like that they see in the sky." ”

"Evan and I have written down all the orbits of the constellations this semester, hoping to use them. Hermione said uncomfortably, "In addition to that, I've done research on their lifestyles and customs. ”

"Centaurs are very smart, and if you come into contact with them, just remember to think of them as creatures of equal status to you, and that's enough!"

"Don't worry, Hermione, they're not as scary as the books say!" Harry followed, breathing a little heavier than usual, "I've seen a centaur named Ferenze and I, and he's more than willing to help humans. ”

"I have to say, that guy is an offbeat in the centaur tribe. Sirius smiled and said, "But he can be trusted, I've known him for a long time." When I was a student, I used to venture out into the Forbidden Forest with James, Remus, and Peter, who was a foal at the time, and we met at that time. ”

"I've heard Ferenze say that he seems to miss the wizard-made objects, the food, and all sorts of interesting stories you brought him. ”

"He was very interested in the human world, and what seemed to us to be ordinary was very new to him. Sirius recalled, "But he was the only one, and the other centaurs were very stubborn and easily avoided human contact. Compared to them, the merfolk who live in the lake in front of the city gate are much more enlightened, and they take the initiative to communicate with us, exchanging the contents of the lake for the things made by the wizards. ”

"Merfolk?!"

"Yes, Jaime once fell into the lake, and he met them, and it was an unforgettable experience. I remember they exchanged a lot of things with the four of us, and there were a lot of high-level magic materials, and they seemed to want to tell us something......" Sirius frowned and continued, "I don't understand the language of merfolk, Remus learned a little, he said that the merfolk let us into the water, as if something was underneath. Unfortunately, we didn't end up doing that. ”

Hearing Sirius's words, Evan fell silent.

It's so weird, why would the merfolk want Sirius to go underwater, what the hell is down there?!

Ever since he learned that Gryffindor's secret treasure key was in the centaur tribe, he had rethought the hints left by the Big Four.

Reasoning along the same lines, it is not difficult to imagine that the mermaid may also have a treasure key in his hand.

I just don't know who left it, and I don't know if it's been split like Gryffindor.

Evan sighed, it seemed that after getting the key fragment of the centaur tribe, he would still have to learn the language of the merfolk and try to communicate with them.

"There are mermaids living in the lake in front of the castle?!" Harry said in surprise, "I never knew that, I thought there was only a giant squid. ”

"There are a lot of secrets at Hogwarts to be discovered, and the four of us discovered a lot back then, but certainly not all of them!" Sirius said with reassurance, looking at Harry, "The rest of the secrets are up to you to discover." (To be continued.) )
