Chapter 22: A Trip to the Forbidden Forest
Since Easter, Augustus hadn't seen Malfoy at the Slytherin table, Malfoy and his two henchmen Gol Crabbe, except during school hours, were always unpredictable and unpredictable, and every time they met Augustus by chance, they also greeted him respectfully and left in a hurry.
The Slytherin common room, usually there is no one around ten o'clock, Augustus is used to continuing to work on some borrowed materials from the library in the common room before going to bed, the dark and silent common room, the dark green warm flame is burning in the fireplace, some tiny green flames jump out of the fire from time to time, making a rebutting sound, Augustus is the only one in the common room, most Slytherin students have fallen into a dream at this time.
The unusually quiet atmosphere was perfect for Augustus, and the quiet and undisturbed environment was actually a treat that every mage would not refuse. The stone door outside the common room suddenly made a turning sound, this small sound was very abrupt at this time, Augustus put down the materials in his hand and looked at the door of the common room, it was almost midnight, and there were still Slytherin students who had not returned all night.
As the stone door rotated, Malfoy appeared in Augustus' sight with a depressed and depressed figure, and at the same time saw Augustus sitting in the lounge, Malfoy first froze, and then a complicated expression flashed on his face.
"Lord Augustus, I'm in trouble, I just ran into Professor McGonagall in the castle tower, originally to break Harry's plan to send dragons, but I didn't expect to find Harry, I met Professor McGonagall first, she didn't believe Harry they have a dragon, Slytherin was deducted twenty points, and I have to be locked up. I'm going to die now, and before I came back, I heard Professor McGonagall say that Confinement is going to the Forbidden Forest. ”
"How did you know that Harry was going to send the dragon away tonight?" Augustus asked a little curiously.
"The book they borrowed had the letter for Bill in it, and I got it from the book. Originally, I didn't think to report them, but when they found out that I had peeked into the dragon outside Hagrid's house, they thought I was going to report it to the teacher and were in a hurry to send the dragon away. ”
"So? You've been planning about this lately, and in the end, not only did you not catch them tonight, but you were confronted by Professor McGonagall, who was killed halfway, and without explaining it and Professor McGonagall didn't believe it at all, causing Slytherin to deduct points and be locked up at the same time? Augustus finally couldn't help but smile on his face. The hapless kid had to say that he was really stupid, did he think that Harry would swagger and send a dragon to the tallest tower of Hogwarts in the middle of the night without any measures?
"Yes, that's the basics." Malfoy had a pitiful look on his face, "Lord Augustus, you must help me this time, if I go to the Forbidden Forest alone, I will definitely be killed by those inexplicable dark creatures in the Forbidden Forest." ”
Augustus had a clear smile in his eyes, this Malfoy was really unlucky, if Harry and the others knew about it, Malfoy not only did not destroy their plan, but was locked up in confinement, he must have clapped his hands and was happy. "I'll go and ask Professor McGonagall tomorrow for instructions, and if she allows it, I'll accompany you to the Forbidden Forest." Augustus's faint words were like fairy sounds in Malfury's ears, and a big stone fell to the ground in an instant, since Augustus could accompany him to the Forbidden Forest, this originally terrible and annoying confinement was nothing at all, maybe, this would be a day trip to the Forbidden Forest? Malfoy's demeanor was finally settled with a hint of light-hearted speculation.
To Augustus' surprise, Harry had no time to laugh at Malfoy, and the next day, out of the four House Cups, the pitiful stock of the Gryffindor House Cup, which already had some points, was about to bottom out, indicating what seemed to have happened last night. Losing 150 points at once, Gryffindor, who was in second place, fell to the bottom because of the previous Quidditch.
The Gryffindor students thought something was wrong as they passed the huge hourglass that recorded the House Cup score. How could they suddenly be one hundred and fifty points less than yesterday? Then the story slowly spread: Harry Potter, the famous Harry Potter, the hero of two Quidditch matches, had caused them to lose so many points, and he and two other stupid first-year students.
Harry, who had been fairly popular in the house, was now the target of public criticism. Even the Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff students didn't give him a good look, as they had always wanted to see Slytherin lose the House Cup.
Now, with four House Cups, the Slytherin House Cup is mostly piled up high in the sand by Augustus, and the difference between second place Ravenclaw is twice as much. Everywhere Harry went, people pointed fingers at him, and he didn't keep his voice down when he said insulting things. On the other hand, whenever he walked past the Slytherins, they always applauded, whistled, and cheered.
Malfoy was very puzzling and did not join in the ranks of taunting Harry, for going to the Forbidden Forest to be confined, Malfoy has actually been terrified, every time he has free time he will think, if Augustus did not agree to him after the last, so he himself entered the dangerous and murderous Forbidden Forest alone, how sure he can survive, for the first time he found that his life was out of control, Malfoy suddenly regretted that he himself lived too simply, just kept doing some pranks to find Harry and their trouble, In the end, he couldn't even guarantee whether he would survive.
At eleven o'clock that night, Augustus and Malfoy went downstairs to the foyer, where Filch was already waiting, as well as Harry, Hermione and Neville, and when they saw Augustus also appear in the foyer, Harry and the three of them showed surprised expressions, "You should be glad that Professor McGonagall agreed to Mr. Augustus's request, and he can accompany you to the Forbidden Forest, perhaps a blessing for you bunch of waste." Filch's grim face showed a smirk. Harry and the three exchanged glances with some joy, and with Augustus there, they suddenly felt that this trip to the Forbidden Forest no longer seemed to be as terrifying as they had imagined. Filch seemed dissatisfied with their relaxed looks, coughed heavily, and led the three of them towards the Forbidden Forest.
They strode through the pitch-black field. Neville sniffled. The moonlight was bright, but clouds kept drifting over and obscuring the moon, plunging them into darkness. Harry could see the lighted windows in Hagrid's cabin. Not far away, the Forbidden Forest, which was still pitch black, was like an ancient beast lurking in the darkness, and the dim moonlight spilled into the Forbidden Forest without the slightest ripple. Augustus' eyes lit up with a dark glow, and he had never been to the Forbidden Forest in all this time at Hogwarts, so this might be an interesting trip.
